Air. At the freezing point, water is 770 times heavier than air; but heat ex pands air, making it lighter, so that at a temperature of 60 deg. it is 815 times lighter than water. At medium tem perature of 60 deg., with a barometric pressure of 30, every 100 cubic inches of air weigh about 31 grains, and every 13 cubic feet of it weigh a pound. The air m a room 20 feet square and 10 feet high weighs 306 pounds of avoirdupois and a 31-gallon barrel full weighs just about 5 ounces. From the freezing point (33 deg.) air expands 1-493 of its bulk for every degree of added heat shown by the thermometer. At the surface of the earth the pressure of all the air above is equal to 14 3-5 pounds upon every square Inch, or 2,105 pounds upon every sqnare foot (over a ton !) Higher up there is less pressure of Its own weight, and it becomes ex panded or rarefied, so that at the height of about 2 3-4 miles (2.7) it is only half as dense as at the earth's sur face, and it takes 27 cubic feet to weigh one pound. At the height of 5 2-5 miles it has only one-fourth of its density at the earth's surface, and 52 cubic feet weigb only a pound. The pressure of the air upon water at the earth's surface, and 52 cubic feet weigh only a pound. The pressure of the air upon water at the earth's sur face is so great that it only boils when heated up to 212 deg. But as the pres sure higher up is less, water boils at 1 deg. less of heat for about every 550 feet we ascend. At half a mile high, water boils at 107 deg.; two miles high at 193 deg.; three miles high at I*3 deg., and at this temperature the boil ing water is hardly hot enough to cook potatoes. The air grows less and less dense until at about forty-live miles high there ceases to be auy air at all.it is supposed—only vacant space. An importaut property of air is that as it becomes warmer, it absorbs water, or vapor of water, and hides it withiu it self so to speak; as it cools it gives out this water again. The air in a room 20 feet square and 10 feet high, when heated from 32 deg. to ouly the tem perature heat of 70 deg., secretes with in itself 3 i 4 piuts of water. A current of warm air when cooled by any means as by meeting a current of cold air, gives out its secreted moisture; the little water atoms giveu out become visible in the form of clouds,and when there is much water thus let loose the little drops keep uniting until so heavy as to fall down as rain. So the warm air gathers up from the earth's sur face myriads of watery particles, car ries them heavenward hidden unseen In its vast storehouse, until it chances to be cooled, and then it drops the particles back in rain- -or suow, if cold enough to freeze the drops. American Incomes. There is DO table of the average dura tion of fortuues; but the statistics of business failures in the country since 1866, show that the average yearly failures ranged from 1 in 163 in the year IS7I, to lin in 75 in 1878. How wafiy business men in a thousand fail, once or more, during their business lifetime , I cannot learn. The propor tion used to be estimated, for New England,at 97 per cent. That is proba bly too high a figure tor the business of to-day, conducted as it is upon much shorter credits than formerly. But ihe proportion or traders who fail is probably not lower than 75 per cent, of the whole number. How many of our people live upon their Invested means? J a 1860 our income tax returns showed 771,(XX) incomes of SSOO per year aud ever, and six million incomes of less than SSOO. But these were not incomes from capital; they were mostly earnings or wages. JP.obably not one in a hundred of these smaller incomes, and not over ten per cent, of the in comes over SSOO, represented the inter est upon investments. In France, tea years later, the census returned no less than two millions of people, rentiers, who live entirely upon their invested means. In 1877 seven and a half mil lions of the people—one-fifth of the population—were enrolled as rentes holders or savings-banks depositors; but it must be added that the savings banks do not often fail in France. and that sooner or later they are apt to fail with us. Most of these deposits are small ones. But no less than two mil lions of the French can say with Petra arch, Parva sed aptc mihi. "It is little enough, but it will do for me." Thus, in spite of the resources of the country, in spite of the almost universal search for wealth, and in spite ol the fact that we have a great many rich men at any given time, we 8* ill do not have a large class of permanently rich men ; we do not even have, like the French, a large class of persons who have a permanent though small competence. The rich American's wealth is extremely vola tile ; in nine cases out of ten it is "fairy gold." The old land-owners form the chief exception to the rule; especially in our large cities, where the increase of values has been great. But if our class of permanently wealthy people is small, so also is our class of destitute people. We are fortunate in having lew of the very rich or the very poor, in having no such immense and harm ful inequality of fortunes as we see in modern England. Our ill fortune i 3 this, that our class of moderate com petences is also small, that so lew of us, in spite of our opportunities and our labors, have seized the good of even a small assured competence. The land is full of people who have not, on the other hand, and who are not likely to have, any assured competence,how ever moderate, but who have nothing to expeot but labor to the end. That is, indeed, the appointed human lot for the majority in any community; but need it be, in a country of resources like this, so nearly the universal lot? Might not many of us avoid it by a greater care for a moderate compet ence, a lessened ambition for fortunes ? —About two-thirds of a pint of air is inhaled at each breath in ordinary re spiration, AGRICULTURE. How CHICKENS GET OUT OF SHELLS.— Take an egg out of a nest oil which a hen lias had her full time, carefully holding it to the ear; turning it around you will find the exact spot which the little fellow is picking on the inside of the shell; this he will do until the in side shell is perforated, and then the shell is forced outward as a small scale, leaving a hole. How, if you will take one ol the eggs in this condition from under the lien, remove it to the house or other suitable place, put It in a box or nest, keeping it warm and moist, as near the temperature of the hen as pos sible, (which may be doue by laying It between two bottles of warm water upon some cotton or wool),and lay the glass over the box for nest, thru you can sit or stand as is most convenient, and witness the true modus operandi. Now watch the little lellow work his way into the world, and you will be amused and instructed as I have often been. After he has got Ills opening he com me noes a nibbling motion with the poiut of the upper bill on the outside of the shell, always working to the right (if you have the large end of the egg from you and the hole upwards) until he has worked his way almost around, say within one-half of an Inch a per leet oirole; he then forces the cap or but end of the shell oil,and then has a clianee to straighten his neck, there by loosening his legs somew hat, and so, by their help, forcing the body from the shell. SHORT HORN CATTLE. —The short horns, if we judge by the cattle shows in the Noithwest this fall, seem to be the favorite of the laru.er. This breed of s:oek originated in the valley of trie Tees, England. If we are correct in our understanding, the breed formerly want by the name of Tees-water cattle, Subsequently they were called Durh.ims because they were extensively bred In that rioli English agricultural coun try. Originally they were excellent milkers, and always excelled in being the best beef cattle in existence. Since the Messrs. Bates and Booth perfected the different strains of the blood it is rather doubtful if the cows are as val uable for the dairy as lormeriy, but when crossed with the native cattle their uiilkmg qualities are satisfactory, the oxen of ttiis breed are favorites on the iarui. Docile, hand}*, obedient and strong, they are capable of doing a good ileal of work. SAVING ULOVEK-SKKJO. —The second crop of clover is the one lor seed. This should be cut when the majority ot the heads have turned brown and before they begin to*sheU off the little seed pods. While the quantity ol seed de pends much upon the weaihor,lhe crop is largely Increased by luoviug or teed ing off the first, or hay crop, early as possible. The harvesting of the seed crops may be effected with a machine for the purpose which simply removes the heads, or the cutting can be done the same its it is with tiie grsss crop. When thoroughly cured the crop should be taken to the threshing floor or bain and the seeds beaten out with light riails, or, better still, with a threshing machine.especiaiiy a clover huller and separator. STORING CORN FODDER — The succu lence ol green cornstalks render ihem difficult to dry thoroughly. To stow away uncured corn fodder in stacks or barns, without precautions to prevent moulding is unsafe. A good piau is to shock the bundle in a convenient place covering the top of the shock with a of straw , and binding the top lightly to exclude the rain, and leaving the shock out of ueors 'until used. A few shocks may be brought in when needed, and will be found fresh, green and in the best of order. Sweet corn fodder, with many small ears and nub bins on the stalks may be covered and kept in this manner in the best con dition. EVERY farmer's family should have all the grapes lhey can eat from i>ep tember to January. It is not necessa ry to have a large vineyard lor this; a few vines each of the best sorts, and properly treated will give a gret amount of fruit. There are hundreds of out-of-the-way places where a vine may be set, such as along a fence, or ir may be by the side of a shed or barn. With good soil and care in pruning, sa tisfactory returns may be expected. IN plowing it is never a good plan to burn up a mass of crude earth of several inches in depth never before exposed to the sunlight and air. It will, unless heavy manuring is given as a top dressing, result in loss. In deepening a soil it is better to plow up au additional iuh each year.

Since 1835 the iorest area of the western hemisphere has decreased at the yearly average rate of 7,600,000 acres, or about 11,000 square miles,and that this rate In the United States alone has advanced from I,GOO square miles in 1835 to 7,00 in 1855, and 8 ; 400 in 1877, while the last two years have scarcely been less exhaustive. Statis tics for eighty years previous to 1835 show that we have been wasting the supply of moisture to American soil at the average rate of 7 per cent, for each quarter of a century during the last one hundred and twenty-five years, and that we are now approaching the limit beyond which any further de crease will materially influence the climate of the entire continent. Many eastern regions, such as Afghanistan, Persia, India and Asia Minor,once pos sessed of a fine climate and abundant harvests, are now often see urged by pestilence and famine, and it is alto gether probable that their misfortunes began with the disappearance of their native forests. It is quite likely that we shall suffer in climate, fertility and health before a great while if we con tinue to destroy our trees as recklestly as we have done, and it behooves us to be warned in time. What has hap pened elsewhere may certainly hap pen here. Indeed there is great danger of it, for we know by experience that fertile lands have grown sterile by loss of trees, and tbat sterile lands have in turn become fertile by sys tematic planting. A certain propor tion of well wooded, as well as arable and pasture land, is essential to our material prosperity, and this propor tion can never be kept up unless reg ular tree-planting be adopted as a set off to the excessive destruction incess antly going on. For one hundred and fifty years we have been feeling the forest, and for the next one hundred and fifty we should try to restore what we have taken away. DOMESTIC. WHITE WATER-LILY. — If our readers knew how easily the white water-Illy eould be cultivated, we believe that very many of them would bo quite as proud of their lily-gardens as of any other portion of their premises. '1 he roots, having been procured In tbo fall, were kept damp during the en suing winter in flower-pots. In the spring a tub was uiade by sawing a substantial barrel In two, and this,only painted green, was set on brick, put in the garden, and one-third tilled with a mixture of gardou-soll, sand,and well rotted manure. The roots were set in this mixture, water was added in small quantities, and at intervals of a day or two, and so gently as not to disturb the earth, until the tub was filled. Very soon the handsome round leaves, four or five inches in diameter; made their appearance and tilled the tub. The loss of water by evaporation was made good from time to time, and ere long the blossoms appeared and de delighted every one with their beauty. When cold weather approached, the water was allowed to dry off almost entirely ; and when if was thus nearly gone the tub with Its contents was placed in the cellar, and watered at. in tervals through the winter. In the spring the roots were separated, and about half the increase returned to tlie same tub, in a fresh mixture of earth; and they are now brought out earlier than before, about April Ist. and blos som yet more profusely. The pure white flowers w ere as perfect as the cauielia and delightfully fragrant, closing in the night and reopening in the morning,as is ilie wont water-lilies The blooms were about two inches in diameter; not quite so largo as some of the specimens in the pond w hence these rt ots were first taken, but not less beautiful nor less fragrant. BLUB DYE FOR WOOL, FLANNEL, AC. —Dissolve One part of indigo in lour parts of concentrated sulphuric acid; to the solution add one part of dry carbonate of potass, and then dilute eight times its weight of water. The cloth inust be boiled tor an hour in a solution containing tlve parts of aluui and three of tartar, for every thirty two parts of clotii. It Is then to be thrown into a water-bath, previously prepared, containing a greater or smaller proportion of diluted sulphate of indigo,according to the shade which the cloth is Intended to receive. In this bath it must be boiled till it as acquired the wished lor color. When the cloth Is iirst taken out of the vat, it is ola green color; but it soon be comes blue. It ought to be carefully washed, to cairy off the uueombined particles. This solution of indigo Is liable to two Inconveniences; rtret, it is apt sometimes to run too last into the putrid fermentation; this may be known by the putrid vapors which it exhales, and bj' the disappearing ot the green color. In this state it would soon destroy the indigo altogether. The inconvenience is remedied by add ing more lime, which bus tlie property of checking the putrescent tendency. Secondly, sometimes the fermentation goes 011 too languidly. This defect is remedied by adding more bran or woad, in order to diminish ttie proportion ©i quick-iiuie. Father is (jetting % ell.

APPLE jelly makes a pretty dessert or tea dish at this or any time of the year. Pare and slice the apples, put them in a saucepan, with sufficient water to cover them, boil gently until very tender, then strain through a ielly bag.

A little fresh lemon peel may be boiled with the apples if desired. STRING BEAN SUCCOTASH.— Take two quarts ol beans; string; cut fine; boil two hours with water enough to cover without boiling dry ; cut the corn from six earg and boil with beans twenty minutes; season with butter, pepper and salt; just before dishing up add a tablespoonful of fljur. moistened, also half a cup of" sweet milk, and let it boil ten minutes. Those who have cream can use it instead of milk. APPLE PANCAKKS.- Make one quart of batter as for any other panoake, add one eup of finely-chopped apple. The batter must be stirred each time a spoonful is taken out in order to equal ize it.

Mr. Pytie, a member of the British Government Telegraph Department of India says some years ago I had a Langwr, which, when standing ereet, measured fully two feet six Inches. The animal was very powerful, and oould easily pull a punkha measuring eight feet in length. It wui a male, and even when young showed a dis position to be highly savage. The older it got the more savage It became. Seeing the great power this monkey had, 1 wanted to utilise it, and, there tore, intended to employ it for the purpose of pulling punkhas. The teaching I eflected In the following uiann< r, the monkey was tied by tiie waist close to a strong pole, so that it oould not move either backwards or forwards, or right or left. Both hands were tied to a rope attached to u Duukha, which was regularly pulled from the other side by a man. Thus the animal had to sit in one place, and could only move Its hands up and down with the punkha rope. In this way the monkey In a comparatively short tiuie learned to pull the punkha by itself,\nJ was so* mployeil by me for sec eral >ears. It always kept in first rate healili, enjoyed its work immensely, and did it equally well, If not better than a cooley. During the rains It suffered from fever and ultimately died. Putting now this trained mon key In the place where the man used to pull the punkha, and a new Langur in the place where the trained monkey formerly sut. 1 attempted to teach suc cessively four more monkeys, two of which were females. I succeeded per fectly In teaching the males, but was quite unsuccessful with the females." Mr. Schwendler said there is a cer tain amount ol intelligence required to do this work, since the arms in their up and down movements, have to keep time witii the swinging punkha. Mr. Schwendler mentioned some other in stances in which the display of intelli gence by monkeys had been noticed. In particular he mentioned a case in which a monkey, which had sustained a tall iroui trusting to a rotten branch while swinging on a tree, had been observed afterward to examine the branches of the tree, and to break off those which it found to be rotten. Mr. Schwendler, however, stated that lie had for a long time made the habits ot animals a study, and that lit was convinced of the fact that mon keys were possessed ot much intelli gence; and he vouched for tne authen ticity of the statements m ule in the paper read regarding the monkeys which were taught to pull a punkha.
