In America. Lord and Lady Abingdon
have a place in Dorset known as the
White farm. Everything is accordingly
white. All the farm buildings, the
house itself, and even all the animals on
the place are white. Rabbits, cats,
guinea pigs, hens, horses. cows, donkeys
and all the creatures are spotless.
But this is not the most remarkable
feature. The free and independent Brit

churn the butter are compelled to attire
themselves in white smocks and white
frocks to bear out the general impression
of whiteness. New York Recorder.

The Strength Of Ice.

The necessities of war have -
reauently led to valuable discoveF.s..
of a practical scientific character. OF
late the French Minister Of War has
been studying the subject of ice from
the point of view OF its capacity to
maintain weights. He has found thst
when ice has become about an inch
and three -fifths thick, it begins to
bear the weight of man who "
marching alone. At thickness OF
something over three and one-half
inches it will bear files of infantry.
When it has become twelve cent?
meters, or nearly four and three
quarter inches thick, it sustains light
artillery or carriages, and at twenty
nine centimeters, or about clever, and
four-tenths inches, it bears the nenvi-
est weight that the transporting of an
army requires. These conclusions OF
the French military authorities may
have some interest for skaters, but it
should be remarked that they apply
only to young ice. SUGGESTIONS OF
colder and warmer weather, in the
course of few weeks, produce o
change in the structure of ice which
greatly weakens its power of resistance
to pressure. Accordingly, the meas
urements and estimates given above
should not be trusted in the case Of
ice that is not of recent formation.-
