ALL A MATTER OF THEOHY Scientists Admit They Can Give No Positive Explanation for the Action of Quicksand. Many inquirers, hearing or reading of the dangerous and mysterious qualities of quicksand, havo sought ia vain to find the difference between these and ordinary expanses of sand. Why do they ingulf tlie unwary? An answer to this question is difficult to obtain and is generally unsatisfactory when found. It is thought by some that tho difference between quicksand and other sand is accidental rather than fundamental. A certain amount of unnocessary mystery seems to surround this matter. The grains of quicksand appear to be iti no way extraordinary. Nevertheless, the fact remains that sand in certain localities upon coasts steadily gives way under a load. Instances are recorded where a cart driven over a wet shore has rapidly disappeared below the surface. Tho general opinion seems to be tiiat this is due to a sort of underlying layer of clay or mud, which ho doubt in some instances is the true explanation. One authority, however, points out that another factor may be the imprisoning of gas between the grains, due to decomposition of organic matter. It must also be borne in mind that any surface in so good a contact with wet sand that I lie a.r is excluded will be held fast by atteosphi ric pressure, and. forth r. I at an object so situated and tilled this way and that will rapidly become imbedded and swallowed up. It is by this simple process that the Goodwin sands have claimed so many vietims. A large percentage of the vessels stranded upon them, however. iloat safely off on the rising tide, hut now and then one is caught and doomed, in the pa i they have been responsible for m >\ ;i shipping tragedy, and there is a pathetic interest attaching to the act that ribs and Other remains of ships long lost and forgotten sonietinn . reappear tor a time above the surface. Since tho advent of strata it is happily a raro occurrence for a vr/. 1 to he lost upon a find hank. Fewer Suicides in Paris Sui< ides hi i'ari have dropped to about two a week, as compared with an average of fifteen to twenty in ordinary times. People wlio always want to know the why and the wherefore of everything have endeavored to get at the reason of this. A wag, who is perhaps, not so far off the truth as some might imagine, sug gests that every one is so anxious to see how tiio war will end that they cannot hear to shuHle olf this mortal coil until victors c owns the day. It is Just possible that suicides are fewer now because, so many favorite means of going to one's long aeeount are not readily available. For instance, from the. first moment that war was declared all gunsmith shops were closed up, and neither arms nor inunitirns of any kind can lie bought. No one is allowed on any part of the great puhrte monuments, so that jumping off bridges or the Are de Tromphe is 110 longer possible. Also the solo of intoxicating liipiorn is restricted. tfMER OLLEGE, ROC tors United States will give series* Columbia University.
