Many Use of Sand.
The sands of the sea are singularly
Useful. They are of primary impor
tance In gluxamuklng. Tbey have an
Important place In warfare, us a bank
of sand twenty Inches thick is proof
against modern rltle shots. The elec
trical propertiex of Hand show tliut It
has positive electricity, although a rod
of silica, the chief constituent of sand,
is negative.
Tbe singular drying effect which oc
curs when h stretch of wet mind is
pressed by tbe foot is due enUrely to
an alterutlou In tbe pillux of the sand
grains. Normally the grains are close
together, but abnormal piling Is
brought about by pressure of tbe foot,
the space between the edges of the
grains being enlarged and tbe water
drained away. If the pressure of tbe
foot is continued the sand becomes
wetter tbun ever, the partial vacuum
quickly bringing water from the sur
rounding sand.
Id quicksand, the moving character
Is thought to be due to tbe Imprisou
meut between the grains of gases from
organic mutter. Chicago Tribune.
