Why We Sink In Quicksand.

Quicksand is composed chiefly of
small particles of mica mixed largely
with water. The mica is so smooth
that the fragments slip upon each other
with the greatest facility, so that n
heavy body which displaces them will
sink, and continue to sink until u solid
bottom is reached. When particles of
sand are ragged and angular any
weight pressing on them will crowd
them together until they are COM
pacted into O solid mass. A sand COM
posed Of mica or soapstone, when sufli-
GENTLY mixed with water. seems inca
pable of such consolidation. Science.

The state Debt Dwindline Down,

The state Debt Dwindllne Down,
The entire debt of the state Of Iowa,
counting everything, whether really a debt
or not, up to January 1, was $4l2, 59l. "a.
This is . small and trivial debt for such q
great and rich state. No democratic state
can show a record anything approaching
it: The only thing that makes it worthy
of remark or attention is that under re-
publican rule the state was kept entirely
out Of debt for many years. Extraordinary
appropriations for the care of the unfor-
tunate ut the state made the incurrence Of
this debt necessary. It was twice as large
for a while. 1t is rapidly dwindling down,
and by New Years Of 1891 the republicans
will make a present to the people of Iowa
of arecord OF the state debt all paid and
money in the treasury. Gov. Larrabee. so
clear-headed in BUSINESS matters, and who
has been so closely identified with the
state government for SO long q time, may
be depended upon to signalize the last
year of his governorship by balancing the
books and putting the state entirely out of
debt.

grows stronger. It is generally believed
that division aud admission are simply a
