Hot ana Cold Crystals.

Whether we watch with the micro scope a tiny crystal growing from a drop of solution or contemplate with the imagination the stages by which the fiery Iavas of past geological perl ods sank to rest and crystallized, said Professor Fl. A. Miers in an ad- dress before the geological section of the British association at Cape Town, we view the same process. It is the transformation of liquid into crystal not necessarily into a solid, for re- search shows there is no dividing line between liquid and solid. A plastic solid body may flow; a solid glass is only a super-cooled liquid. The real primary distinction is between crystal line and noncrystalline material. There are two great liquid reservoirs from which materials have crystallized-the sea with its dissolved salts and the sub terranean baths of molten glass from which the igneous rocks have been de- rived.-New York Globe.
