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. WM. L H. SEARCY, JR., Counsellor at Law, GRIFFIN, GA.
