Cementing OuickSandS,

The well known German engineer,
Neukirch, in paper on making foun-
dations il quicksand, urges that the
sand Oh which the foundation is to rest
be converted into solid concrete by
blowing into it, by air pressure, pow
dered dry hydraulic cement, using q 4
inch pipe drawn to a point at its
lower end and having three OF more
three-eighth inch holes. In practice this
pipe is joined at its upper end by rub

nected to source of compressed air and
is fed with dry cement, the sinking OF
the pipe to the depth required being
facilitated by blowing air through it
during its descent and setting it in mo-
ton, a depth reaching to 10 feet being
thus quickly accomplished. After this
the cement is fed i'll and carried into
the sand by the air, which, being forced
up through the former, insures a thor

whole area to bc treated is divided into
a number of small areas of about a
square foot each, and the tube being

Of the squares it is found that the mix

A Musical Legend of the Chinese.

The Chinese have some extraordinary
superstitions relating to music Accord
ing to their queer notions, the Creator
of the universe hid eight sounds i'll the
earth for the express purpose of COM
pelling man to find them out. On the
same principle, it is presumed, Jupiter,
according to Virgil, hides fire i'll fiints
and honey il trees in order to whet the
ardor of mans industry to persevere in
his efforts to rediscover the hidden treas
ures.
According to the Celestial idea, the
eight primitive sounds are hidden in
stones, silks, woods of various kinds, the
bamboo plant, pumpkins, in the skins
of animals, in certain earths and i'll the
air itself. Any ole who has ever had the
pleasure u OF seeing and listening to
Chinese orchestra will remember that
their musical intruments were made OF
all these materials except the last, and
that the combined efforts of the other
seven seemed better calculated to drive
the ethereal sound away than to coax it
from the air, which is really the object
of all Chinese musical efforts. When the
bands plays, the naive credulity of the
people, both old and young, hears in
the thuds Of the gOngs and the whistling
of the pipes the tones of the eternal
sounds Of nature that were originally
deposited i'll the various animate and in
animate objects by the all wise Father.

THE BORROW OF IT-What is at the
bottom of the anarchy that exists in
the United States? Unrestricted i'm
migration is at the bottom OF it. What
is at the bottom of unrestricted immi
grafton? The policy of a protective
tariff, which has over stimulated Ger
tain industries and induced capital to
bring foreign labor into the country,
so that profits may be increased. The
unnatural stimulation Of an" industry
is curse. The unnatural importa-
ton of Any socialistic Or anarchistir
foreign element into population Is a
curse. There is just as much harm In
permitting the free flow of foreigners
into the United States as there is in
permitting the landing of men infected
with cholera or yellow fever. There
should be just as strict quarantine
against one as against the other An
archists have no more right to live in a
civilized community than mad cog
has. and those who encourage them
and cater to their crazy notions are
just as bad as those who would advO-
cate the free circulation of rabid dogs
in the streets or poisonous snakes in
the garden The time has come when
all of the civilized nations of the earth
should join in graduating anarchy and
those who profess or tolerate its prIncl-
pies from the face of the earth. The
disease needs drastic treatment. The
United States should not only abso-
lutely prohibit the immigration of
these people, but it should take radi-
cal measures Immediately to drive
them out of the country. = Norfolk

AWHILE WE HAVE TIME"

The peaceful hour of summer dusk is nigh;
Swift swallows hawk beneath an opal sky;
Along the west faint bars OF crimson die;
Under the low proved porch your chair is set
Amid sweet scents of musk and mgnonette;
You muse Of things you sometimes half forget
Can you forgive her then?
Or when, within some sacred, ancient fane,
Where holy rest and peace forever reign,
As falls the tinted sunlight from the pane,
Unto your ear the solemn words are given:
while we have time" forgive and be for
given"
The angels wait to take your prayers to heaven
Do you forgive her then?
while we have time!- The years are not oul
own:
The clock ticks on with calm, unaltered tone,
Until our little span Of life has flown;
A sad bell tollinG in narrow glen,
A quiet aisle astir with tramp of men;
She would not know if you forgave her-then

Learning to Swim.

A useful device has been designed for
learning the motions of swimming. Ii
consists of wire stretched tightly across
the swimming bath. Two grooved pull
legs run along the wire, and a rope is
passed through the lower pulley reach
ing to the surface of the water. A belt
of special make is worn by the pupil,
which, by means of swivels and rings,
allows the wearer to lie in any desired
position. AS soon as the swimmer &c
quires' the proper motions, the wheel
moves along the wire. This makes the
lesson interesting and much less. fati-
guing than the old method of pole and
rope.-Engineering.

Cooked Rations for Hogs.

By Our Agricultural Editor
The farmer who endeavors to raise a
full supply of bacon and lard, should
have large boiler, conveniently
placed, for cooking the rations for his
hogs. Cooked feed is better and more
nutritious for them, and many sorts of
vegetables that would not be eaten by
hogs in the raw state will be greedily
devoured when cooked. Thus the farm
err may turn all the resources of the
gardens and truck patches to use in
growing meat for the family consump-
ton. All the refuse stuff, not fit for
any other service, can be cooked for
the hogs.
Daily, at this season. should the fire
be started. and a large lot of vegetables
cooked up for the hogs. Almost every
thing can be utilized in this way. even
the potato tops, before they get old
and woody, onion tops, beets, carrots,
turnips, green c0rn-everything that
comes from the garden.
Stale or spoiled meats. fish, birds or
game that may be shot at this season.
can be boiled along with the rest; also
bones, old bacon hooks, and the like,
to impart flavor to the food. Use red
pepper literally in all the cooked ia
tions. And occasionally throw in a
quantity of condition powders, or
quinine or magnesia.
The daily allowance of corn that is
given the hogs may likewise be added
to che general mess, and cooked with
it, making it more palatable and easily
digested Add salt to every ration
enough to flavor it. Allow the hogs
free range in an enclosure of their own,
and run in the orchards, to get the
winCfals. Or else boil the apples for
them. Give the hogs at least one cook
ed mess daily.-IHdeG AppeaI.

Cavalry and Cold Steel.

If you will allow a cavalry soldier
to forget the value of cold steel and rely
on fire action, you destroy the dash and
elan which make him formidable and
should be his characteristic. Therefore
Frederick 1870 years ago ordered his
troopers always to attack, and while he
discountenanced the use of carbines gave
them the necessary support which fire
lends by organizing light artillery tC
attend their movements
Napoleon has told US that cavalry
cannot reply to fire and Gail only fight
with the STEEL" and fully recognizing
where lay the weakness of his h0rsemen
he gave them an auxiliary in the shape
Of horse artillery, which, 50 far from
hampering their movements, added tc
their boldness and enterprise when act
ing independently ahead of his vast
armies. The cooperation of the two
arms was also then found to work
i'll another direction to the benefit
Of both, for while projectilas loosen
compact formations and render the at
tack OF squadrons more dangerous the
cavalry force the scattering units to
draw together and present an easier tar
get for the guns. Especially was this
noticeable during the pursuit of beaten
foe. A battery, bold and well placed,
may deny whole road to the retreating
columns, and long lengths of train
may have to be abandoned on the inroad
