Ice has the property—peculiar to bodies which expand on freezing—of liquefying under pressure and solidify ing again when the pressure has been removed. Consequently tb e weight of any body moving upon a sheet of ice causes the formation of a thin layer of water which separates it from the Ice, and thus, by reducing the friction to a minimum, enables It to move smoothly over the surface—1. e., makes the ice more ‘‘slippery.” On glass, on the contrary, this liquid medium is want ing, so that the two aolM and unyield ing bodies come into actual physical contact, causing a friction which, In spite of the smoothness of the glass, considerably retards the motion of the body. If two smooth sheets of glass be taken and a few drops of water sprinkled over the one and the other placed above it. a tftln layer of water will be formed, and until this layer has been pressed out the~«pper glass will move on the other as smoothly'as if oa ice. This peculiar property of ice is due to the effect of pressure in lower ing the freezing point of water, so that whenever ice is subjected to great pres sure it partially melts. JACKSON 1.1MI1I.ESS COTTOW. Committee Report ot the Interstate Cotton Grower#’ Association on the Jackson African Limbless Cotton, That Met In Atlanta, Ga.. Doc. 14, 1897. We, the undersigned Committee, appointed by the Interstate Cotton Growers’ Association, held Is Atlanta, Ga., December Mth, 1897. to Investigate and report on the Jackson Limbless Cotton, beg leave to submit the following rsport: After a thorough and careful examination and InvestlgaUon made of the cotton in the field, which we visited in person, and carefully looking Into the matter, we unhesitatingly pronounce it the best variety of cotton ever grown in the South. From what the Committee learned from a conversation with Mr. Jackson. It seem# that the cotton, with careful cultivation, will yield throe bales per acre easily, aud tae evidence of such fact has presented itself to us after said investigation. The cotton itself is absolutely without limbs, the bolls maturing on little prongs two or three Inches long, known as "fruit spur,” with no other limbs: there being from two to five bollson each spur. Tho stalks in the field, examined by us, are from four to ten feet tall, according to the fertility of the soil, as fruited from the groundup. Ws found on a groat many stalks, bolls which contain live sr.d six pods, which we consider very unusual, the size of the bolls beiu > very fins average; the lint andstaple being due and silky, an average of one to me and a half inches It is the opinion of your Com mittee that no cotton of this variety has ever b--en grown in the South before, and is of supe rior quality to anything we have over aee’n grown. The land upon which the cotton examln ed was grown, is ordinary red gravelly upland, well manured. WM.i’ Cai.H0CN.( hnlrman.Ga. Kichakd CSeatham, Committee, anus.

Examiner is ■nggestire: “Three successivs failures of the tobacco crop, a long time ago, made Kentucky the blue-grass country, and the leading blood-stock region of America. The blight of frost which de stroyed all of Florida’s uevr oranges iu 18U4 aud killed many of the grand old trees, turned theattentioa of thousands of her land-owners to tobacco, aud she is rapidly winning a place among the largest and best producers on the conti- nsut These gladsome outcomes of ‘calamity’ almost incline one to wish that old Dame Nature would apply the goad to our i>oople, as farmers travel well-beaten paths and seldom revolu tionize their industries or reinforce them, dxcept under a stress of neces sity. “Iowa a few j ears ago seemed enter ing ii|)on an area of decadence, incident to the universality of wheat culture under conditions of failing so 1 and steadily declining priede.
