April 1, THE GItJAXTIC FI TREE OF 15D11. The majestic and mighty banyan fig tree lords it over the vegetable world of Asia. Xe other tree ever measured a tithe of five acres in the ground inclos ed by the circumference of its branches, nor affords shelter from the sun at'one time to a thousand men. Under its vast shadows one may stroll leisurely for hours along avenues and footpaths bordered by flowering shrubs and cooled by gurgling streamlets. There is a ban yan in Ceylon which measures 1500 feet around the branches more than a quar ter of a mile. Under the shade of a still larger tree on the banks of theMerbudda, in India, which measured a circuit of 2200 feet, whope large trunks number 3-54. whose small ones exceed 3000, and whose fo liage makes a home for thousands of birds and monkeys, the chief of 3'utnah used to encamp there in magnificent style. Here hewonld entertain his guests on his tiger-hunting expeditions. Sep arate tents were gorgeously fitted up as bed chambers, and each guest having one had three servants at his command. Saloons, drawing rooms, dining rooms, smoking rooms, kitchens all were per fectly appointed. Including all the an imals and servants, there were seven thousand individuals in the retinue, yet the great banyan easily sheltered them all. Here, when the glow and flush of the fierce sun has given way to the cool dews of evening, the guests of the Orien tal Frince sipped there sherbet or cham pagne, and watched the movements of the dancing girls, while the monkeys chattered and the night birds sang in the leafage above, and the pale moon shine glinted through the openings in the vast roof. "When the banyan first springs up its method of growth is normal, and during the first century of its life, indeed, it shows no disposition to do anything ec centric. But when the great branches of the tree have reached such a height iimi it, can no longer support their weight horizontals, the end beo-ins tn l.end downward, and they lower from the tips one or more roots, which entering the ground send forth rootlets, and them selves become fresh sUms. So the hor izontal branches, once in dano-pr of breaking ty their own weight, are as easily supported by the pillars as a bridge by its piers. So the process goes on for ages till the grand tree covers its acres of ground. Lateral branches shoot out from the main limbs, while the lat ter are constantly growing until they reach gigantic size. These lateral branches also put down the stems and shoot out branchlets, until it comes to i'i3a tuitb instead oi one iree, mere is a marvelous colonade of stems supporting as many natnral rafters, on which re pose dense masses of foilage. Such is the gigantic fig tree of India, truly one of the wonders of the world. GREAT SALT LAKE. The lake from which this town, says a correspondent, takes its name, is the "City of the Great Salt Lake" is a very curious and interesting body of water. It is about one hundred miles long from north to south, some twenty five to thirty-five broad, from east to west, is more than four thousand feet above the sea level, and has no outlet. Its greatest depth is sixty feet, but it is eenerally very shallow, being in many places not more than two or three feet deep. At one time it must have been vastly larger than it is now. spreading, an inland sea, for hundreds of miles. The water is transparently clear, but so sv.t it contains twenty-two per cent, of chloride of sodium as to form one of the Concentrated brines. It wa? long thought that it contain?1! no living thing, but recently a kind of shrimp and several species of insects have been found in it. Large flocks of gulls, geese and swans frequent its bor ders and islands, one of the latter An telope island being eighteen miles long. It is so buoyant thnt a man may float in at full length, his head and neck, his legs to the knees and arms to the elbow being entirely out of water. In a sitting posture, with arms extended, hi.i shoul ders will rise above the surface. But swimming is hard as the legs can hard ly be kept under water, and the brine is so strong as to nearly"strangle him who swallows it, and causes severe pain if it gets into the eyes. Nevertheless, a bath in the lake is refreshing, although fresh wate water is required, although fresh water is required afterward to remove the salt from the body. The lake was first made known to the white race nearly two hundred years ago, through Ilaron Ea Ilontan, who had learned of its existence through some Western Indians. It was former ly named Timpanagos ; was supposed to be much biggsr than it is and to have an outlet into the Pacific, Fremont was the fi-st man to navigate its waters, and he described it in 1843. The lake re minds one in many respects of the Dead sea, and the resemblance had its influ ence in deciding the Mormons to settle here, associating the neighborhood with Judea, and prompting them to name the strait connecting Salt and Utah lakes the River Jordan. They have copied va rious features of ancient Isreal, and claim to believe that they, like the old Jews are under the immediate direction of God. Potato Tickings. "What did people eat before they had potatoes ? This in quiry suggested by the fact that the an nual crop of this vegetable in America is estimated at 2W.(XX()00 bushels one eighth of which are grown in this State. The potato is a modern vegetable, the first mention being that of Pedro Cieea (15S6), who says the people of Quito eat a root which they chll popas. This city consumes and exports 25,X)0 bushels a day, and yet old Home with thrice our population did not have a potato. You cannot find mention of the article in Gibbon's 'Home," nor in Virgil's Geor gics which is and agricultural work. Few families would feel comfortable if deprived of potatoes for a week, and yet the world had to do without them for more than 5,000 years. The principal potato district, in addition to Kenssalaer .Saratoga and Washington counties, is the western part os the State bordering the Central and Erie roads. Potato va rieties are constantly changing. Some of our readers may remember the old fashioned "pink-eye" and the "early Junes," which were succeed by the "Western reds," and then came the 'peach blow." This was a high popu lar variety, but like others was transi tory, and then came the "early rose," which also soon proved unreliable. There is a dozen new varieties before the public at present, some of which put forth extraordinary claims. A'eto TorJfc Commercial. Would it not pay any farmer to give a little time just about now, to selecting some seed wheat from his mow ? We mean, select some of the fullest,' finest heads, thresh and clean them, and put away for seeding a patch from which the seed for 188; will be selected. We sim ply ask the question, and suggest that it was in some such way that Clawson wheat originated. Farm Journal.

The earliest ajjitator in the matter observed two years ago, while traveling in Sicily, that the laboring classes there lived healthily and worked well upon a vegetable diet, the staple article of which Is bread made of well ground wheat meal. Nor are the Sicilians by anv means the only people so supported. "The Aindoos of the northwestern pro vince can walk fifty or sixty miles a day with no other food than 'chappatties," made of the whole meal, with a little "ghee," or Galarn'outter," Turkish and Arab porters, capable of carrying burdens of from four hundred to six hnndred pounds, live on bread only, with the occasional addition of fruit and veg etables. The Spartans and Romans of old lived their vigorous lives on bread made of wheaten meal. In northern as well as southern climates we find the same thing. In Russia, Sweden, Scot land and elsewhere the poor live chiefly on bread, always made from some whoJe meal wheat, oats or rye and the pea santry of whatever climate so fed, al ways compare favorably with our stout English poor, who, in conditions of in digence precluding them from obtaining sufficient meat food, starve, if not to death, at least into sickness, on the white bread it is our modern English habit to prefer. White broad alone will not support animal life. Bread made of the whole grain will. The experiment has been tried in France by Magendie, Dogs were the subjects on trial, and every care was taken to equalize all the other conditions to proportion the quantity of food given in each case to the weight of the animal experimented upon and soforth. The result was suffi ciently marked. At the end of forty days the dog fed solely on white bread died. The docs fed on bread made of the whole grain remained vigorous healthy and well nourished. Whether an originally healthy human being, if fed solely on white bread for forty days, would likewise die at the end of tliat time, remains, of course, a question. The tenacity of life exhibited by Ma gendie's dogs will not evidently bear comparison with that of the scarcely yet forgotten forty days' wonder, Di. Tanner. Nor i3 it by any means asser ted tliat any given man or any given man or any given child would certainly remain in vigorous health for an indefi nite length of time if fed solely on wheat meal bread. Not a single piece of evi dence has been produced, however, to show that he would not ; and in the onI case in which the whole meal bread lias been tried with any persistency, or on any considerable scale among us to wit, jai'.s facts go to show such bread to be an excellent and wholesome substitute for more costly form3 of nutritive food. Nineteenth Century. Some Hints About Road-Making, The public roads of a country, says the Valley ifjjirit, show the spirit and enterprise of the people in the county to a certain extent, and all will admit that good public roads add to the value of the land as much, if not more, than any thing else of equal cost. A bad road means a small load with great wear and tear to a wagon and team, and bad roads is the complaint generally. An ex change, in asking "why is this V" an swers its own interrogatoiy very sensi bly by remarking : First, they are badly drained, aud not enough week done on them , there is but little thought given to making roads, and the work is often done late in the fall ; third, men scrape and plow more than; there is need of and make a narrow, poor load when they get through. It is cheaier to make a good wide road when the laid will permit, than a narrow one from the fact that in making a wide one you simply bring the dirt from the ditches upon the road bed, which should never be plowed or disturbed. A public road should be 3-" feet from the outside of ditches, high est in the centre, and curving gradually to the outsid of ditches. The road bed (that is the part between the ditches) shonld le twenty-five feet wide and one foot deep on the outsido, and deeper, if necessary, with sufficient drain to draw off the water, otherwise there will be a bad muddy road. Now, with such a road the bed is solid, and the soil scrap ed on top will soon pack and become hard. There is no danger in being tip ped over, and travel is not obliged to follow in a single rut, as it must in a a narrow road. Dry roads mean good ditches. To till up mud holes without draining, is simply putting on more dirt to make more mud. Important to IIousewivks. A cerrespondent of the Country Gentleman says: "I send you a recipe for a wash ing preparation which I have nsed in my family for some time, and find very valuable, as it saves time and labor and dies not injure the clothes in any way, but keep.s them of a clean and beautiful color. To make fifteen pounds of the soap, take seven pounds of tirra, tough soap (home made hard soap will answer) cut into thin slices, two pounds of sal soda and one pound of unslacked lime. Put the lime and soda into a dish, pour over it two gallons of boiling sott water, stir it well and let it settle, Four off the clean water into a dish containing the soap ; put it on the fire and iet it re main there until the soap is dissolved. Dissolve one ounce of alum and two ounces of borax, and put it into the soap as it is taken from the fire. Let the soap i cool a little and then add one ounce of benzine, When the soap is perfectly cool it can be cut iuto bars. Soak the clother over night. Cut one ound of this soap into seven gallons of water. put the clothes in and boil without t mb - bing. Wash them enough after bo zoning to get the soap out, and rinse thorough- Iv.

Blis ter steel is made by causing the carbon of charcoal to penetrate iron in a heated state. German steel is blister steel roll ed down into bars. Sheet steel is made by hammering blister steel. Double shear steel is made by cutting upjblister steel and putting it together and ham mering again. Crucible steel is made by melting in a hot vessel blister steel and wrought iron, or unwrought iron, and charcoal and scrap. Bessemer steel is made by blowing air through cast Iron, burning out the silicon and car bon. Open hearth steel is made by melting pig iron, and mixing wrought iron, or scrap steel, or iron ore to reduce the silicon and carbon. Exchange.
