Antarctic Regions.
A singular, and it deed fallacious, ar
gument lias been advanced by Captain
Maury in lavor ot the theory that the
Antarctic regions are occupied by a great
continent. "It seems to be a physical ne
cessity," he argues, "that land should not
be antipodal to land. Except a small nor
t ion of South America and Asia, land is
always opposite to water. Mr. Gardner
lias called attention to the fact that only
one twenty-seventh part of the land is an
tipodal to land. The belief is, that on the
polar side of 70 degrees north we have
mostly water, not land. This law of dis.
tribution, so far as it applies, is in favor of
land in Hie opposite zone." Surely
weaker argument has seldom been ad
vanced on any subject of scien title specu
lation, iiere is me synogism : vve nave
reason to believe (though wo are by no
means sure) that the Arctic regions are
occupied by water ; land is very seldom
found to be antipodal to land : therefore,
prouauiy, uie Aniarcuc regions are occu
pied by land. But it is manifest that,
apart from the weakness of the first
premise, the second has no bearing what
ever on the subject at isse, if the first be
admitted : ior we nave no oDservea met
tending to show that water is very seldom
antipodal to water, which would be the
sole law to guide us In forming an opto
ion as to the regions antipodal to the sup
posed Arctic water, un tne contrary, we
know that water is very commonly antip
odal to water. We havo only to combine
what is known respecting the relative
proportions of land and water on our
globe, with Mr. Gardner's statement that
twenty-six out of twenty-seven parts ot
the land are antipodal to water, to see
tiiat tiiis must be so. There are about 51
millions of square miles of land and about
14ti millions of square miles of ocean.
Now about 49 millions of square miles are
antipodal to water, accounting, therefore,
for onlv 49 millions out of the 140 mil
lions of square miles of ocean surface : the
remaining 97 millions of square miles of
ocean are, therefore not antipodal to land,
but one half (any we please) antipodal to
the other half. In tact, we have this rather
singular result, that the ocean surface of
the globe can be divided Into three nearly ,
equal parts, of which ono is antipodal to
mini, wmie tne otner two parts are antip
odal to each other. This obviously docs
not force upon us the conclusion that an
unknown region must be land because a
known region opposite to It is oceanic ;
and still less can such a conclusion be in

How Science Helps Tree Culture.
Up to the commencement of the nres-
ent century science was littl-i more than a
plaything. It was customary to speak oi
uie exact and the abstract sciences ; but
the abstract branches of knowledge, as
they were then called, havo oomo to be
among the most useful to humanity. Bot
any, for instance, once regarded as little
more than an accomplishment the amia
ble science, as its devotees loved to term
it has proved one of the most useful to
the practical man ; and what were once
supposed to be mere abstractions of phi
losophy, have been found of the utmost
value in founding systems of practical
tree culture.
In the nature ot bark, for Instance, we
have learned so much from botany that
we how unhesitatingly adopt methods of
irenimenr. wnicn we would not nave uone
without this knowledge, and find an linv
menso benefit therefrom. We used to re
gard a tree as having somewhat the na
ture and constitution of an animal ; and
as the skin is an Important part of animal
structure, we regarded the bark of trees
as the equivalent of the skin. Botany
has at length taught us that the outer
bark of a tree is of no more use to it than
a beard is to a man : and indeed we very
often aid and encourage the development
of the tree by assisting the tree in getting
rid of it. In fact the tree spends a good
portion of its early years in getting rid of
its Darn; and not until it nas Durst its
cortical bands, as a general thing, does it
Dounu lortn into vigorous growtn. some
trees, as the beech tree, never accomplish
this feat ; but they are provided with a
structure wnicn permits oi a iree growtn
of new cells laterally every year, and thus
expansion is provided for.
We all know how a tree looks when it
lias its rough bark. Fissures are up and
down at regular distances ; but these are
not caused, as once was supposed, by the
mere growth of the tree for if they were
they would all present nearly the same
sort of Assures, whereas they each have
their separate way of doing the tiling ; but
me nssures are made by tne development
of what are known as cork cells in the
bark, which by their growth in certain
ways give the direction to the lines as we
see them. We now know by the progress
of this branch of botany that the little or
ganisms we call cork cells have for their
great object the aiding of the plant to
make these fissures, which arc finally to
oe tne means ny widen tne plant rids it
self of its bark : and we have found, as t
consequence of these observations, that if
we also aid in this decorticating process,
we advance the vigor and growth of the
tree.
There is, therefore, no longer any dread
of scraping bark or of using washes for
the stems of trees, as there once was
The man who tells us we are In tills way

is simply laughed at, and regarded as be
ing worthy of nothing more than the ti
tle of " professor" in some college where
original observations are not taught.
This is the season of the year when we
can put these newly discovered lessons of
science into useful practice. Insect eggs
and the spores of destructive fungi
abound on the bark of trees, oftentimes
on the fresh young -urface, and always un
der the loose scaly bark. A sort of paint
made of lime, sulphur, and a little earth
to give it a dark color, put over the stems
of trees, will destroy all these injurious
elements neipmg to loosen tne baric, so
much desired by the plant, at the same

Euthanasia.
The following letter, written by Tro
fessor Newman, of England, declaring

both in that country and in this. It is

lie remarks that you seem to re irnril it as a rc-
ductio ad absurdum to his views of euthunasia
that they would rntike out Btiiciile to be sometimes
a dull. Many years ago 1 had full reason to be
lieve that a iriend of mine fa man morally and
intellectually deserving hiirh rsrpcml . in an ill
ness lingering anil hopeless, withdrew himself
from life somewhat prematurely by means of
chlorolorm. 1 have no doubt whatever it wa un
der a sense of duty. It led me to sound persons
now and then as to what they thought of thus ter
minating life, in case of hopeless disease, es
pecially insanity j nnd the prevalent reply
was to the ell'cct, "I give no opinion but there
are many who think a painful, useless, and hope
less life ought to be ended." If the present dis
cussion should lead to freer avowals, without
fear of odium, It would be valuable. I should
like to have the Commissioners who visit lunatic
asylums called on authoritatively for their sincere
opinions on the subject.
Somewhat earlier, in reading travels, perhaps
Mungo Park's travels and accounts ot North
American Indians, I was led to meditate on such
cases as that of a party forced to travel rapidly
through forest or cfesert where one of them sud
denly fails in strength. If the rest stay to carry
him, all will perish. They reluctantly leave him
behind. Sometimes he begs to be killed, lest he
fierish of slow starvation, or by vermin devour
ng him. The facts, 1 confess, led me to the con
viction that we overstrain our reluctance to short
en life. But to fear to leave a human being to
perish alone, esjtecially at hit comwand, when
else others will perish uselessly for him, seemed
to me like the case which very often occurs in
sickness, where tending the sick ruins the health
of those round him; where the strong and young
are unppicu, mat uu oiu person may miseraoiy
linger a few months longer. I, for one, look
Willi horror on allowing tender kinsfolk to sacri
fice youthful health in order to add days or weeks
to my life when worn out.
Ot coursa it is evident that irregular and
stealthy sell-destruction, against the moral opin
ion ot a community, has contingent evils far
greater than could occur if such practice were
publicly sanctioned under fixed conditions. I
take it for granted, that as marriage, adoptions,
wills are in every well-organized btate registered
under public ollicers, so if euthanasia were legal
ized, it would be with like securities against
abuse. The registrar would be required to inter
rogate the patient before witnesses, who would
attest his desire of death 1 nnd medical testi
mony be udded as to the hopelessness of recov
ery. Near kinsfolk now earnestly desire the
death of a patient, when he 't suffering agony, or
even delirium and painful delusions, without
hope. I do not understand how any one can fear
abuse, if death were legalized under deliberately
planned restrictions such as I have hinted 1

Over-Reaelilusr in Horses.
" Over-reaching" is an injury to the
heel of the fore foot. It is sometimes
merely a bruise, but more often a lace
rated wound, a small portion of skin be
ing left hanging, nearly detached from
the heel. The offending part of the hind
shoe is its inner circumference or edge, so
that the iniury must be caused by the hind
foot being in the heel, and the skin caught
as the foot is retracted. The inner edge
at the toe of a hind shoe becomes very
sharp after a few days' wear, and will cut
like a knife. As in "clacking," the indi
cation for prev ntion is to remove the of
fending edge. This cannot be thorough
ly done witli the file, but when the shoe
is hot, the edge behind the toe can be cut
out with the "fuller" so as to leave uie
shoe concave. As over-reaching is an ac
cident peculiar to the gallop, itls well al
ways to shoe Hunters so as to guard
against the occurrence. The neatest and
best hind shoe for a hunter is made, like
tne tore one, in a " cress," and presents
concave ground surface and rounded
edges.
When a heel is Injured, It is always well
to try and save theDiece of skin. It should
not be cut off until it is certain that it will
not reunite to the issues beneath. One
good fomenting on reaching the stable is
enougn ; after that use ine simplest wa
ter dressing, and under no circumstances
use poultices, which only increase the
chances of a slough and retard the heal
ing process. Should healing seem slow,
apply a mild stimulant, such as a piece of
lint wot with a mixture of carbolic acid,

A Negro Wedding.
Egbert 1'helns irlves In the Lakeside a
most amusing picture of a negro wedding
in the old-fashioned days of plantation
life, lie describes tho comical scene
tins :
The bride and groom answering to the
name of Susy and Andrew, were fleld
liniula of ntinilstiiknhlv nurc Guinea blood.
and both of them had passed the first half-
century of lite, xneir dress, nowever,
showed that thev had not vet entirely es
chewed the follies of their youth, for
though rude and cheap, as became their
condition, It was nevertheless not uncm-
belllsned witli those bits or gewgaw bhu
daring finery of bright colored ribbon
and tin In which the neero delights.
With tiie most decorous gravity tne
preacher began :
" Andrew I duz you lub dis yere wo
man ?"
'Iduzao" was tho emphatic reply.
' Will you promise to stick close to her
froo time an' 'tarnltv. rcnouncln' all od-
ders an' cleabin' on'y to her for eb' er an'
cbbor an' amen?''
" I will dat!"
" Will you lub, honor an' 'bey" .
" Hold on dar. Ole Jack I" here inter
rupted the groom, with no little show of
India-nation. " 'taint no use talkin' to dis
nigger 'bout 'beyln' de wimmin'. Can't
promise to 'ney no wimmnr iuiks on y

" Silence dar 1 you owdumptious nig-

" I spose I must say yes to dat," said
Andrew, meekly.
' ' Den 1 pronounce dese yere two coupies

hab joined togedder let no man go fur to

betokening a dilemma entirely unforseen
by old Jack, for inasmuch as no nad tor
gotten to reonire the usual vows of Susy
they insisted that however firmly Andrew
might be bound by the bonds of matri
mony, Susy was still single and tne pair
were but half married. The matter was
at last adjusted by the preacher commenc
ing the ceremony de novo, by which means
the couple were finally united to. the sat
isfaction of all.
Clacking.
Clacking, or, a3 it is sometimes called
"forging" is the name given to the sound
produced by the hind shoe striking the
foro one in progression. It is usually
heard at tho trot, and seldom noticed
adult horses. It Is most common
young horses out of condition and especi
ally noticeable when they are tired. The
noise is produced by the hind shoe strik
ing the under surface of the fore ene just
UU111IIU lliu iui' at liiv nutria. H 1JUI1
the blow has been repeated so as to leavi
an impn-ssion, the marks are found on the
inner edsro of the fore shoe. This is im
portant, as it shows us that the length of
the shoe is not at iauit, ana it suggests
the removal of the part where striking oc
curs. Removal of this edge Is equivalent
to making a shoe concave instead of flat
on the ground surface, and such a shoe is
found effectually to prevent a recurrence of
tho objectionable noise, xno oruinary
hunting shoe, especially the narrow one
made in a "cress,' is tne dcsi possioic
form. For harness horses, where more
substance is required for wear, the oru
nary shoe seated on the outside instead
the inside is usually sufficient. A case
may be met with in which this alteration
is not effective. We must then alter the
hind shoes, making them square at the
toe, with two clips one on either side
and set back a little on the foot. The
wall at the toe should not be rasped off,
but allowed to protrude a little. Too
often the hind shoes are the first to suffe
alteration, something of a very objection'
able kind ; for instance, we have seen the
toe ota hind shoe marie diamond shaped
and prominent, so as to come in contact
with the sole of tho forefoot instead of the
shoe. This is a most irrational and some-
what dangerous expedient. It leaves the
offending part of the fore shoe untouched
and favors the infliction of injury to the
foot. Even when the hind slioe is only
made short mid placed back: on tho loot
there is a risk of the horn at the toe being
unduly worn, nnd there is a shortening
of the leverage of the foot which mus
more or less affect the powers of progres
sion.
If a horse "clacks," rest contented at
first with altering the lore shoes as w
have described: improve his condition
and ride him up to the bit, but not past
his pace. k,x.

and such an island with whom they are at
war. This is agreed on, and a number of
these so-called warriors are embarked

wanted by the natives. It is but right to
state that, although it has been reported
by the missionaries on these islands that
white men have assisted in these barbar
ous practices of skull hunting, yet no sin
gle case has been fully Droved.
At one of the villages on the sea shore
01 isaoei island a most sickly and re-
Sulsive sight presented itself. Across the
oor of the chief's house were nailed
twenty-three or twentv-flve human heads
taken about three weeks, previously by
the chief and his followers from some of
his fellow Islanders. The attack had been
made from tho rear, as was evident by the
skulls ; tho flesh was still on the bouts,
the eyes protruding, jaws broken, and the
stench frightful. The bodies of all these
men had been eaten. Sidney Herald.
Lens Fires.
Dr. H. C. Bolton, of Columbia Col
lege, New York city, states that on a re
cent occasion, at 0 A. M., on entering his
laboratory lie found a wooden table on
lire, ignition having been oeeasione J by
the rays of the morning sun which fell
upon a glass spherical flask containiug wa
ter. The flask served as a lens which con
tracted the rays and set fire to tho wood.
The author also alludes to the statement
of Lactantius (A. D. 300) who mentions
the use of glass globes, filled with water,
in kindling fires; while Pliny recom
mends the use of lenses for the purpose
of cauterizing the flesh of sick persons.
As to the latter, one Mr. Barnes, of Con
necticut, took a patent in this country
some Ave years ago for the use orienses
for Uie purpose suggested by Pliny .
in respect to tins occasioned by lenses,
doubtless there are many examples. It
is well known that vessels at sea have
been set on firo by tho bullseye glasses
used to admit light between decks. These
were formerly made convex on one side,
thus forming powerful lenses. In con
sequence of the loss of property and dan
ger, their use has been discontinued, and
thick plates of glass, fiat on both sides,
have been generally substituted.
Captain Scoresby and Dr. Kane used to
astonish the natives of the polar regions
by taking blocks of clear ice, and cutting
them into the form of lenses, with which
they Instantly kindled fires. ScientiAa

Tho First Daily Newspaper.
The first daily newspaper ever published
was the Courant. It appeared in London
on tho 11 th of March, 1702. It was curi
osity, about the size of half a sheet of
foolscap-paper, printed only upon one
side, (oninlnlno- neither editorials, locals,
court news, political matter, advertise

Kind whatever. , ,
" This Courant," says the publisher, "as
the Title shows, will bo published dally,
being designed to give all the Material
News as soon as every Post arrives, and
Is confined to half the Compass to save the
Public at least half the Impertinences of
