ANCHOR ICE.
A Strange Formation of Ice Crystals at the
Bottom of HarbOrs.

Bottom of Harbors.
The anchor ice," by which the steam
er City of Boston was imprisoned in the
Thames river at Norwich, is one of the
strangest of wintry phenomena. 1t goes
by various names. West of New Eng
land it is known as "slush ice," and
abroad it is called ground ice, ;" "bottom
ice" and "loppered ice" 1t is not formed
upon the surface of water, but collects
on the beds of streams. This is the most
remarkable thing about it. Many theo-
ries have been advanced to account for
its formation. One scientist claimed
that it was the result of radiation of heat
from the river bed, and that it was de-
posted on the same principle as dew
Another stoutly maintained that it was
produced by little spicul@ 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 on the stones and
other rough bodies at the bottom After
this general cooling of the water to a
temperature in the neighborhood of 80
degrees Fair, the anchor ice will speed
lily coat a pole. for example, that is low
cred into the stream. The nucleus hay
ing once been formed the small masses
of ice that cling by adhesion to the asper-
tiles of the river bed grow in size and at
length attain sufficient buoyancy to
loosen their fastenings and rise to the
surface. In doing this they frequently
tear up small stones and clumps of
gravel.
The anchor ice is clearly crystalline in
structure, and in the water resembles a
kind of fungus or vegetable gSowth. AT
times a stream will be seen full of little
masses of anchor ice floating along near
Or at the surface. It's consistency is
often very slight, SO that if an attempt
is made to grasp it in the hand it readily
melts and disappears. 1t is confined
mainly to swiftly running streams hay
ing gravelly or stony beds, and it is
feature of the winter that proves trouble
some chiefly to mill owners.
1t collects on the head gates of the
canals and on the racks at the entrance
of fumes, and if it is allowed to pass into
wheel pit is liable to stop the wheel, as
it effectually stopped the paddles of the
steamer City of Boston in the Thames

Why He Left the Farm.

"Why did leave the farm? I'll tell
you" said a gentleman at the Lindell.

until | was 16 my father gave me regu-
lar tasks to do, which had to be COM

children, and every one had his or her
regular tasks, as my father, who was
judge of the circuit court, was absent

neighborhood dance one evening, and |

CHANGE OF POSTMASTER.

The change of postmaster in Yelling

week. c. W. Arner having secured the
appointment will succeed Mr.. Hustled
The retiring postmaster leaves the Office
after four years and one month Of ser
vice with no regrets, but with a feeling
Of satisfaction over being relieved of a
constant responsibility. He has endeav-
Ored to make his administration cred
liable one, and so far as the record of
the Office in the department at Washing
ton is concerned the rating is high. Mr..
Hustled naturally feels pride that such
a state of affairs exists. He has always
taken great pains to obtain information
as to the rules laid down to govern the
office and has been very accommodating
official; and we believe that the people
generally will regret his departure. His
able and efficient assistants, Miss Emma
Cushion and Lou Hustled, are entitled to
praise for their courtesy and kindness,
and large share Of Mr.. Husted's success
Is due to their faithful service and ear
nest efforts to please the public.
Mr.. Arner has secured the services Of
f. P. Whitney as deputy and Lou Hustled
will remain in the Office until November

familiar with the duties Of the office.
