The properties of quicksand are thus
described in the Mechanical NelcS :
The difference between building sand
and true quicksand is most easily ex-
planned by comparing building sand to
be represented by fragments no larger
than large buckshot. but shaped like
very smooth potatoes. In word the
quicksand is small and thoroughly
waterworn, so that every fragment has
been deprived of all its angles and
fairly well-polished. It's particles are
very small IA compared with those of
the building sand The smaller the
size and the more complete the round
ing the more nearly will the sand APP
proach a liquid condition when il is
moistened. The first glance at fairly
mounted sample of quicksand under a
microscope is sufficient TO show that the
quickDess Cf the sand is amply ac
counted for bv the innumerable fiic-
ton wheels which the particles them
selves furnish Sharp or building sand.
on the other hand, viii show few round
corners. many angles, corners and Il
general condition like that of broken
stone. Sea sand Is often unfit for
building. even though perfectly de
plived of it's salt, the reason being that
the particles have been worn and pol
ished ii they have no more binding
powers than so many cobble-stones. 1t
is well to remember that quicksand
when dry, il very fine, shows the same
properties as liquid. In holding up
the centers of large bridges it is some
times put into cylinders with plunger
on top of it, 1t will, when thus con-
fined, hold up the load like a column
of water, When it is desired to strike
the center plug is drawn out of the
side of the cylinders, and the sand
flows out like so much water. The adj
vantage, of course, is that the sand
does not need packed piston. and
does not leak out, though the work be
prolonged for years. Quicksard when
dry and confined forms an admirable
foundation, and when wet can be load
ed over it's whole surface, and give a
good support if side openings can be
avoided"

She Would Like to BE Wicked Just for
Once

There is an inherent desire in the
breast of nearly every woman of life
and spirit to be at times just the least
bit wicked. She wants TO don the I'M.
mentionables occasionally. figuratively
speaking, and go out and have a time.
As young married lady remarked the
other day to an intimate female friend 1:
"How would like 10 go cut on 'toot'
some night. i want to take in the back
rooms of two or three saloons, drink a
glass or two of beer, and eat some dry
bologna and Swiss cheese. Ny hus-
band occasionally brings a lunch of
that sort home with him, aud accom-
panies it with n bottle of beer, but
there is no fun in it unless you go 10
headquarters. L have often urged my
husband to show me the elephant to
a mixed extent, and have offered to
wear veil or his old clothes, but he
always frowns down my opportunities,
aud / don't think it would be much
fun, anyway, to go with ones own hus-
band. Why should we be so circum-
scribed in our amusements? for one
propose to get ont of the old rut some
night, and, while / don't intend TO be
too wicked, shall be just wicked
enough to enjoy myself And there
is no doubt but that she will. Her
ideas may be condemned, but in how
many feminine hearts will you find a
reflex of her desires Sacramento
