Silver Market Firm on Strong Eastern Demand
The Engineering and Mining Journal links silver market firmness to rising eastern demand. January and February exports from London to China and the East Indies rose by about 2.5 million dollars, with China contributing nearly one million. India’s absorption also surpassed one and a half million, tied to government coinage amid famine spending. If the trend continues, London exchanges could see about 15 million more silver to China and India this year, possibly supporting prices further amid China’s industrial revival.

Government aid for education would help small states more
The argument notes that a modest grant to an established school acts as a nucleus for a fund where none exists and reinforces where funds exist. Opponents say the federal government should not interfere with citizen efforts, and the policy would equalize educational conditions across states, affecting smaller territories differently.

Effects of Falling Rain on Rock Weathering and Erosion
The rain seeping into rock cracks disintegrates surface material to form a matrix that aids vegetation growth. Plant roots act as wedges that split rock, while winter ice expands and blasts rocks apart. Weathering creates saxifrages or rock breakers as fragments become sand and erosion carries them downstream.
