Mrs. Goodman Taylor, and four
brothers: Messrs. On in C. and S. T.
Hlacknion of .this place, Mr. W. L.

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.
