AN IMPIOSiON.
A Process Exactly the Reverse Of m
Explosion.

A Process Exactly the Reverse OF m
Explosion.
Every enc knows what an explosion
Il, but its opposite, an implosion. Is less
familiar. At great depth in the sea the
conditions are favorable for its produc-
ton. At twenty-five hundred fathoms
the pressure is, roughly speaking. two
and a half tons to the square inch
that is to say. several times greater
than the pressure exerted by the steam
upon the piston OF a powerful engine.
A beautiful experiment TO illustrate
the enormous force OF this deep sea
pressure was made during the voyage
of H. n. ). Challenger. We quote from
The Fauna of the Deep Sea"
Mr. Buchanan Theoretically sealed at
both ends a thick glass tube several
inches in length full of air. He
wrapped this sealed tube in flannel
and placed it in one Of the wide copper
cylinders, used to protect deep-ses
thermometers when they are sent down
with the sounding apparatus
The copper cylinder had holes bored
IN it. so that the water had free access
inside. around the glass
The copper case containing the sealed
glass tube was sent down to depth Of
two thousand fathoms and drawn UP
again 1t was found that the cylinder
was bulged and bent inward, just as If
it had been crumpled inward by being
violently squeezed.
The glass tube itself, within its fan
mel wrapper. was reduced to a fine
powder. almost like snow. The glass
tube, it would seem. as II slowly de-
scended held out long against the pres
sure, but at last suddenly gave way,
and was crushed by the violence of the
action to fine powder.
This process, exactly che reverse of
an explosion, is termed by Sir Wyville
Thomson an imploSiOn.

"You forget" remarked her listener,
''that woman:s period of youth has
moved on a good ten years. In the

Did You See the Crowds?

We had no idea the crowds would come
with such hurrahs when we offered the sale
of standard prints. But they came, we could
not hinder them one man could not have
cut those 10000 yards of goods IN one days
hard work and as the people surged about
him we added another clerk until we had fif-
teen cutting away at standard prints like
farmers stripping cane. The goods were
gone. actually gone at 1880, and nothing re-
mains but the memory OF hail buyers we'll
suited.
The China Mattngs are here: so pieces
of them just arrived and none finer were ever
unloaded at our store. They will sell quickly
at Ioc per yard. Do you want any of them?
Lots Of other bargains too, just as great
as the mating, and almost as cheap as the
standard prints.

seventeenth century B. c. The knife
though very old-had not come into
common use as table utensil in the

in the middle ages, and was first used
upon the table by Henry III. Drink

Weeds are classed as ANIMALS, bien.
malls and perennials. Annual weeds
complete their existence in q single year.
tience when ANIMALS are prevented from
ripening their seeds upon any farm from
year to year the time must come when
tnat cass of weeds will be completely
destroyed. Persistent warfare against
them Tor single season would eradicate
them entirely were it not for the fact
that many seeds, from the nature of the
coating which contains the terminating
principle, have the power to resist decay
To such an extent thar they may remain
IN the soil aud retain their vitality for
several years. Annuais should, therefore,
rot only as far as possible be prevented
rom maturing their seeds, but those
which have been overlooked and do ma
ture should by autumn cultivation be
induced to gcrminate that they be tho
sooner destroyed.
Biennials complete the round of their
existence in two years and any method
that will prevent them from maturing
and reproducing seeds will in time de-
stroy them. Along roadsides and in
places seldom cultivated, cutting them
off frequently at the surface of the
ground will be the most effective method.
There are two classes of perennials-
those reproduced from seeds only and
those also reproduced from root stalks.
The most effective method of destroying
these pests is to smother them, by COM
pletely covering them with soil in the
period of their most active growth, or
n digging them up root and branch and
eaving them to dry and be burned.
In the Canadian provinces, weeds are
ho ught to be on the increase. and pre-,
vail to such an extent that a lengthy bull
letin OF the Ontario Experiment Station
IS wholly devoted to u description of
some OF their most troublesome weeds,
together with successful methods, some
of which are here noted, employed in
destroying them.-New York World.
