all the plants into the warm dining room. The owner,
who is an old gardener and feeling much interested,
proposed that we should look into the bay window of the front
parlor, where plants had stood; we did so, drew up the
blinds, and were all much delighted to find the window
panes full of very beautiful and magnified ice leaves,
particularly so the upper front pane of glass. This will be
sure to be the case at innumerable other places where plants
stand or have stood, so you had better look and judge for
yourself. Their bed rooms had all large specimens of
cereals, impressions of the wheat, or rye, that had passed
through bodies, whether by breathing or exhalation.
The saloon, southeast corner of Sixtieth and State
streets, was new papered on February 1. It being a very
cold day the consequence was that at night the entire two
large front windows were covered with an uncommonly
thick layer of ice tracings of cereals, the effect of the paste
used during the day. I drew the attention of the proprietor
to it, who at once perceived the phenomenon of the
powerful emanations of the cereals of which the paste was
made, and as I was curious I called again the following
afternoon, when we both observed that mostly everywhere
the tracings of cereals lay in uniform layers, just as the
paperhanger’s brush had affixed the paste on the long
paper strips, by strokes right and left, which, however,
had been effected in the adjoining back room, but having
once been transfixed on the back of the paper, now in the
big bar room, to judge by appearance, had evidently
transmitted by vibration its influence on the large window glass
panes, perhaps accelerated by the paperhanger’s brush
when smoothing down the paper on wall and ceiling. In
the smoke rooms ice tracings of tobacco leaves were plainly
visible during several cold days.
