UNSTABLE QUICKSANDS.
Kxplaaailoa eg One of Natela's Mort Curl-
Oto® PhffiMOHbffißMa
Very little is known by the general pub
lie about quicksand, and that little is
usually obtained from novela Such In
formation is usually wrong, being com
posed of a pinch of truth and a handful of
fiction. The eensational novel goes even
so far aa to give to quicksand some attri
butes that belong only to living creatures.
No ordinary obayt n ■ could distinguish
quicksand from any other If it were dried,
and if he wished to restore ite fatal prop
erty artificially he would in all probability
fail Suppose he fills a bucket with wa
ter. It does not in consequence become
mobile. If be drains the water off from
the bottom, thb sand will be found wedged
firmly in place, and If the water bo meas
ured It will be found to equal 80 per cent
of the bulk of the sand, or about 20 per
cent of Ite weight. From this we may In
fer that a cubic foot of dry sand weighs
nearly 24 pounds.
This for sand Is a very light weight, for
there are other qualities of sand which
weigh as much as ITI pounds. Quicksand
when examined under a microscope will
be seen to have rounded corners like river
sand, as ffistlnguishad from angular or
“Sharp” sand, which will pack more solid
ly than the other. It to a quicksand that
to used, in the hourglass and In the small
er egg boiler, partly because of its fineness
anfi partly because it does not obscure the
inner surface of the glass by scratching.
Tbs lightness of quicksand to the quality
Which will lead us most surely to the cause
of ite reputation, ahd to illustrate this the
bwokstful of sand must be loaded with
water from below and made to overflow
vary slowly. The upward current will be
found to loosen the sand and to raise the
surface vwry slightly, separating and lubri
cating the particles So that they are easily
displaced.
The backet now contains quicksand,
and this sand from the support it receives
from the water has its weight or support
ing power reduced, lb the dry state it
weighed nearly M pounds, but if weighed
In the water it is reduced to 82 K pounds,
| and its mobility prevents any animal from
walking on it. The mixture pf sand and
water weighs quite 118 pounds per cubic
foot, or nearly twice the weight of a man,
but It is toothick to swim in, and the per
son «agulfafl would soon be too exhausted
to escape. He would probably die of suf
fopatfon if not drowned by an advance
tide, for quicksands ape found mostly
within the influences of tides. He would
not bn swallowed by the quicksand be
cause to Is so much heavier than his body.
Quicksands require in all eases an up
ward current which is not quick enough
to form what is called a spring or foun
tain. It may be formed in two ways. In
tidal rivers and on the shores of tidal seas
the rising tide may saturate a porous
Stesteni of ground below high water mark,
and when the tide falls the return current
to established through the same porous
(sandy) ground with sufficient velocity to
loosen the sand as above described. This
sand as soon as the rising tide reveries the
current ceases to be "quick.“ The other
care to that when a slow current of fresh
water finds an exit through a surface of
sand above or below water. This to a per
manent quicksand. Any sand and almost
any material might Lave the quality of
quicksand imparted to it by means of a
suitable current.
Coal is separated from shale in an up
current of water so regulated that the
coal is made to float while the shale falls
to the bottom, and heavy iron tools have
been carried to the surface by the sudden
discharge of artesian wells. Quickrende
that are encountered during the staking
of wells and foundations are all due to the
influx of water, when the work gets be
low “spring level,” or ths level-of water
in the ground. The sand, being deprived
of the rapport of the excavated pert, is
pushed from behind by the water current
flowing In from ell rides—lnvention.
