Why We Sink in Quicksand.

Qu:cksand 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 any heavy body
which displaces them will sink and con-
tinue to sink until a solid bottom is
reached. When particles of sand are
ragged and angular, and weight presses
on them will crowd together Until they
are compacted into a solid mass. A
sand composed of mica or sandstone and
sufficiently mixed with water, seems in
capable of such consolidation.
