On this showing I sent the plumbers honio, and coucluded to wait for wariner weather, iu tho meantimo trying to think of some more feasible process of thaming it out than the usual ono of duweonnecting at the mauin. On the 2dd of Feb- ruary sulphuric avid waa suggoated, on the Anown fact that on mizing with water, it gencrates about £09 degrees of hoat, aud that tho heat re- quired to convert ico ivto water in 140 degrees, L proceeded to try tho experiment in tho fol lowing manner: 1 fitted a cork into the open- fog of the faucet over the kitchou sink, and, then, unscrewing tho top, removed tho plug, thus securing an opening throngn tho top of tha faneot, I found tho water inthe pipo lovel with the opening in tho faitcot, but was unable to ro. move any of it. I¢hon commenced pouring in tho acid vory slowly, getting in about six ounces in ton nuigutes,—alt T had at bend, boing a chargo fora Naboock extinauisuor. There was but 6 very alight overflow, the ice tating up tho acid. Ithon procnved a quantity of tho acid, and a fow hours later pourcd « lalf-gollon into tho pipa in tho course of fifteen min- utes, without causing any ovurflow, Not thinking the {co could absorb fo largo n quantity of the acid wilbont fncronsing its bulk, L concluded it had thawed tho tee until it had reached a rupture in the pipo, and was ruoning ont of it, so I desisted from pouring in more, But the eoquel proves that L was wrong in my deolarations, for at 240 a.m. on the 21th juat. tho water began to flow again, bringing tho acid along with it, and LU have bo reason to doubt that had I continued to pour in acid until Thad usoda couple of gallons oro it would havo dono ite work inn few hours. I would ad: for the information of any who may wish to use it, that the acid is quite iuoxponsive, and that, after pouring {tin the pipe, the cork should bs re- moved, and tho fntcet put in order ard left open all tho time. As often as overy trolve hours after introducing tho acid. tho turoff-cnck should bo worked, an tho acid will have somo elfect ttpon that, and if left to stand too long it might cause soma trouble to work it.

In view of thers wzecyumecnts, and the onormous value at which tho grounda are held, proporty-eowners in tho viemity, and who are to bo tnzod for tho purchare tionoy (tho Park fund being oxtaunt- ed), demand now that un act bo passod by the Legislataro giving to the Park Commissioners power to soll and vacate tho Jands already con- demned sod purchaned, and apply the Proseads to the reduction of tho cost orto the improves miont of the northorly park of tho two, which, with its 1,20U acros of laud and drives, ty al sufliciont for at least twonty-tve coming gon- orations, leaving to posterity 1,060 or 1,600 yoars distant domothiag to do for thomaclyes.
