s»Orossest Man in Alabama.” . “De crossest man in Alabama lives dar,” said the driver as we approached a way-side home, near Selma, Ala, to ask accommodations for the night, At supper, and after it, “mine host” soowled at every one, found fault with everything earthly, and I was wonder- Ing if he weuld not growl if the heaven. ly halo didn’t fit him, when incidental mention being made of the comet of 1882, he said : “I didn’t like its form, its tail should have been fan shaped P But, next morning, he appeared half- offended at our offering pay for his hos- pitality! My companion, however, made him acoept as a present a sample from his case of goods. Six weeks later, I drew up at the same house. The planter stepped lithely from the porch, and greeted me oor- dially, I could scarcely believe that this clear complexioned, bright-eyed, animated fellow, and the morose being of a few weeks, were the same, He in- guired after my companion of the form- er visit and regretted he was not with me.

He —which can hardly penetrate to a great- er depth than seven or eight miles —as presence of aqueous vapor is due alone to the surface and nnderground waters encountered by lava in its passage to the surface, and, while it adds greatly to their violence, it does not originate the eruptions, The coniraction of the earth from cooling, slow though it be, is sufficient to account for the foreing calenlated that five volcanic eruptions actually would shorten the earth's ra- dius only about one twenty-fiith of an inch in a century. ——— API The remarkable arrangement breathing which insects possess is thus lucidly described : If we take any mod- erately large insect, say hornet or wasp, we can see, even with the naked eye, that a series of small, spot like marks run along either side of the body. These apparent spots, which are gen- erally eighteen or twenty in namber, are, in fact, the apertures through which the air is admitted into the sys tem, and are generally formed in such s manner that no extraneous matter can by any possibility find entrance, Some- times they are furnished with a par of horny lips, which can be opened and closed at the will of the insect ; in oth- er cases they are densely [ringed with ter, which allows aur, aod air alone, to pass. But the spparatus, of whatever character it may be, is always so won- derfully perfect in its action that it has been found impossible to inject the body of a dead insect with even so sub- tle s medium as spirits of wine, although the subject was first immersed in the fluid and then placed beneath the re- ceiver of an air pump, Schroeder, in Germany, has been in- vestigating the influence upon vegeta- tion of the acid fumes which are present in a smoke-laden atmosphere, He finds that one part of sulphurous acid in 54,- 000 of air is capable of occasioning se- rious damage to plants in a short ume, They are less sensitive to hydroclorie acid. Coniferous trees are most sensi- tive to sulphurous acid, then deciduous trees, while ordinary field plants resist longest, Oaks, planes, elms, poplars and mountain ashes resist better than birches and beeches. Fruit trees are very sensitive; plums and cherries more so than pears and apples. Mr. Wolff's treatment of writer's cramp seems to be making steady pro- gress in popular estimation.
