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 ?

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.

Destruction of limber Lands.
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.

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

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

We smile at the savage who cuts
down the tree in order to reach its

interest; and the consequence is that
he linds the tone of liis feelings im
paired, his self-respeet diminished, his
health of mind and body destroyed, and
life reduced to its very dregs, at a time
when, humanly speaking, the greatest
portion of its comforts should be still
before him.
