Anchor Ice.

The "anchor ice" by which the
steamer City of Boston was imprisoned
in the Thames River, at Norwich, is one
of the stranYest of wintry phenomena.
1T goes by various names. West of New
England it is known as 'slush ice, and
abroad it is called "ground ice" 1t Is
not formed upon the surface Of water,
,bnt collects on the beds of streams
This is the most remarkable thing about
1t. Many theories have been advanced
TO account for its formation. One scien-
fist claimed that it was the result Of ra-
'diation of heat from the river bed, and
dhat it was deposited on the same prin-
ciple as dew. Another sroutly main
tanned that it was produced by little
sspicul@ of hoar frost falling from the
atmosphere into the water.
The most acceptable hypothesis, how
ever, is that the whole body of water in
which it is found is thoroughly chilled
by mechanical action of the currents of
the stream, and that the anchor ice then
naturally forms Oh the stones and other
rough bodies at the bottom. After this
general cooling of the water to tenn
perature in the neigabcrhaOd of thirty
two degrees Fahrenheit, the anchur ice
will speedily coat pole, for example,
that is lowered into the stream. The
nucleus having once been formed, the
small masses of ice that cling by ad-
hesion to the asperities of the river bed
grow in size, and at length attain suf-
fcient buoyancy to loosen their tastenings
and rise to the surface. In doing this
they frequently tear up small stones and
clumps of gravel.
The ancuor ice is clearly crystalline ia
structure, and in the water resembles
kind of fungus or vegetable growth. At
times a stream will be seen full of little
masses of anchor ice floating along near
or at the surface. Its consistency is
often very slight, so that ifan attempt is
made to grasp in the hand it readily
melts and disappears. 1t is confined
mainly to swiftly running streams nav.
ing gravelly or stony beds, aud it is a
feature of the winter that proves trouble
some chiefly to mill owners. It collects
on the head gates of canals aud on the
racks at the entrances OF fumes, &ld, if
it is allowed to pass into wheel pit, is
liable to stop the wheel, as it eIfectually
stopped the paddles Of the steamer City
of Boston IN the Thames.-BOston

Reduced the paw,

The Great Northern has announced
cut in the wages of its section crews all
along the line. Foremen who had here
tofore been getting $50 per month are
.-educed to $40, and laborers are rednced
to ST per day. This action means awful
hard times for the men and scarcity of
section men in the employ of the rail-
road, for just at present they can readily
obtain work in the harvest fields at adj
vanced prices. The yard section fore
mau, Mike Ryan, was reduced from $50
to $40. The work trafus engaged in
making the fill on the Hinckley line have
also been called IN. Retrenchment is the
watchword with all corporations dur
ing the clover" season.
At noon Wednesday the yard section
crew quit work, refusing to remain at
the small wages offered them.
The force at the car shops in this city,
was also reduced to $50 men. There
has been over 200 employed. No wages
have been reduced and the full ten hours
per day for days work has not been
changed Journal Press.
