Tomato plants should not bo grown too r pldly,and if they begin to run should bo transplanted, so to induce stocky growth Bams gardeners tako pains to pot them, bu this Is not generally done, as it is expensive and troublusome t repeated checking by transplanting induces early maturity and early fruiting. Why will not grass grow under our trees I Mr. Paul Bert has shown that green light hinders tha development of plants- Plants enclosed in a green glass frame wither and die as though they were darkness.

As & top ilresalng to almost any garden crop, it will be found beneficial. Matthew Crawford states in an ex. change that the destruction of tomato plants by His cut-worm may bo avoided by mak ing a compact mound of earth about the plant, as large as an inverted teacup, the cut-worm being untile to climb. Another way, which wo hays long practised, Is to wraparound the stein ,if the cut-worm is fear- si, a few Inches of par or a large green leaf of any kind, before drawing the earth around It.

Many persons have an in distinct idea of what causes the 6oundof thunder. Prof. Tait attempts to explain is as follows : "The origin of the sound, is in all cases, to be looked for in the instantaneous and voi lent dilatation of the air along tho track of the lightning-flash partly, no doubt, due to the disruptive effects of electricity of which I havo already spoken, but mainly due to the excessive rise of temperature which renders the air for a moment so brilliantly incan descent. There is thus an extremely sudden compression of the air all round the track of the spark, and a less sudden, but still rapid, rush of the air into the partial vacuum which it produces. Thus the sound wave produced must at first be of the nature of a bore or breaker. But as such a state of motion is unstable, niter proceeding a moderate dis tance the sound becomes ana logous to other loud but less violent sounds, such as those of the discharge of guns, "Were there few clouds, were the air is of nearly uniform density, and the flash a short one, this would completely describe the phenomenon, and we should have a thunder crash or a tiiuncier clap, ac cording to the greater or less proximity of tho seat of dis charge. But, as has long been well known, not merely clouds but surfaces of separa tion of masses of air of differ ent density, such as constant ly occur in thunder-storms, reflect vibrationspn the air ; and thus we may have many successive echoes, prolonging the original sound. But there is another cause, often more efficient than these. When the flash is a long one, all its parts being nearly equidistant Irom the observer, he hears the sound from all these parts simultaneously ; but it its parts be at very different distances from him he hears successively the sounds Irom portions further and further distant from him. If the flash be much zig-zag- ged, long portions of its counc may run at one and the same distance from him, and the sounds from these arrhc simultaneously at his ear. The extreme distance at which thunder is heard is not great, when we consider the fre quent great intensity of the sound. No trustworthy ob servation gives m general more than 9 or 10 miles, rough there are cases in which it is possible that it may have been heard 1'4 miles off. But the discharge of a single cannon is olten ncaru at oU miles, and the noise of a siege or naval -engagement has cer tainly been heard at a distance of much more than 100 miles." "When a member of the Legislature, in the course of a long-winded speech, called for a glass ol water, a member sitting near exclaimed to his "This is all con neighbor trary to tho laws of mechanics a windmill running by water."
