Many Uses of Sand.

The sands of the sea are singulariy useful. They are of primary impor. tance in glassmaking They have an important place in warfare, as a bank of sand twenty inches thick is proof against modern rife shots. The cleo trical properties of sand show that 1t has positive electricity, although rod of silica, the chief constituent of sand is negative.
 The singular drying effect which oc. CUTS when stretch of wet sand Is pressed by the foot is due entirely to an alteration in the piling of the sand grains. Normally the grains are close together, but abnormal piling Is brought about by pressure of the foot, the space between the edges of the grains being enlarged and the water drained away. If the pressure of the foot is continued the sand becomes wetter than ever, the partial vacuum quickly bringing water from the sur rounding sand.
 In quicksand the moving character Is thought to be due to the imprison- ment between the grains of gases from organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.
