NEW INDUSTRY

100 feet of ground, and expect to
enlarge their building in a very
short time. The present capacity
of their&plant will be 60 blocks an
hour, and each block will be Tx
"a inches. These blocks will be
manufactured from cement, sand
and gravel, and ten men will be
necessary to operate the plant.
Seven carloads of cement and
quite a number of sand and gravel
have already been received at the
factory.
w. H. Noll and sons have
broken ground for the foundation
of the handsome new three-story
business building they are going
to erect on Main street. The struc-
tue will be started just as soon as
the factory can manufacture the
blocks and it will be pushed to
completion with all possible rapid
ity. The building will be of the
most modern architecture, and
when once completed will not only
be an ornament to that portion of
our progressive city, but a sub
stantial addition, also.

so the whole hog is an American-Eng-

Will make the eyeballs parallel.
Anything less will turn them in,

Toby was the baby OF the family,

II Dates Only From the Middle of
the Last Century.
Some forms OF spiritualism have Ma
fssssw-rs from remote antiquity. u
the Levitical law we find the injusc-
tjon, 'rfhou shalt not suffer witch y
live and throughout Old Testamxaf
htSfrry there are frequent referenodk
TO this subject, while demons. pytho~s
esses. sibyls. augurs and soothsayers
have their places In the secular annzts
OF mankind.
In its modern form spiritualism
dates only from the forty-eighth ys.w
of Mo last century, WREN. at tire hexans
OF a farmer of Hydesville. In the stata
OF New York, the spirit of peddlsr
wss had been murdered there sopaa

LIGHT REFLECTION.



When water is violently agitatcd
small bubbles of air are mixed up with
II. ana thus foam Is formed. and ~
Wilderness is due to the fact that VIVA
light passes from ono medium to an
sthw OF a different refrnctIve index q
Is always reflected, and this reHecsisa
may be so often repeated as to render
thu mixture impervioGs to light.
10 "a, then. this frequency of the ~
tiecticns of the limiting surfaces -
air and water that renders foam
opaque and. as each particle reflects
light in all directions. so much light b
rc9acied that the mixture appears
white.
To similar cause is due the white
ness OF transparent bodies when crusa-
ed to powder. The separate particles
transmit light freely. but the refles
tons at their surfaces are so numerous
that the resulting effect is white. Thus
glass when crushed Is white powdH
and Is opaque. but when 1t is put us-
der water 1t once more becomes trans
parent. because the water fills up tho
interstices betweeE the particles. asa
the reflections are destroyed. Salt ana
snow are also common examples q
this condition.

GLACIER MOTION.


Upon "a Place.
The motion OF glaciers has beca
scientifically defined as that of VS.
cous mass, partly sliding upon its bsa
partly sheering upon itself under the
iHH~ssee OF gravity. In other worsts
the motion resembles that OF pits
poured upon table. which spreads.
not by the expansion of the bottom q
the mass. but by the edges rolling
orr above the lower stratum, which
Is dragged by the table surface. 1t
was argued against this that ice was
a brittle substance, but Principal
Forbes was able TO show that glacier
ice differs from others in possessing Il
distinct granular structure and that
the grains, by imparting certssn
amount of motion to each other. as in
water, gave the whole Elasticity.
The rate of motion varies with
local conditions. but is sometimes -
tremeiy slow. Thus the Theodul glacisr
elected. in 1885, from Its end two skis
etons. with fragments OF clothing. sAd
tive medals. dated 1852.
orher high authorities attribute ths8
motion to other natural forces. such AS
alternate expansion aud contraction.
