Onu CunnU In the FscJBc It had Ions: been an accepted theory that a branch of tbo Gulf stream or waru current, which sets over from Japan toward Alaska, was flowing northward through Bebring strait in to the Arctic ocean. W. H. ball, act in assUtant of United States coast survey, in a recent report published by Congress, finds that there is no such warm current setting in that direction. The "Kuro-l-wo" according to this authority, is not marked in its approach t the American coast by sharply de lined walls of water temperature such as characterize the Gulf 6tream of the Atlantic. It is not at aU like a river flowing in its bed. There is a general Urilt which is reversible and intermit tent when opposed by storms, and which shades off from a temperatue of CSdegrees. That part of the Kuro-si wo having a temperature of 53 degrees approaches the northwest coast in the vicinity of Vancouver Ii-laud. There is a deflected arm of this current known as the Alaska current, which has a tem perature varying from 50 to 53 degrees. The shoal waters ot the Behring straits on the eastern side appear to be warm er than on the western side. But Capt. Dall says there is no proof that there is a warm current flowing up through the straits. The whole I'acific coast, however, from L'nmak in Alaska to Vancouver is bathed by a sea with a summer temperature varying from 4S degrees to 33 degrees. The winter along a coast of this temperature never can be severe. There is a great preci pitation of moisture, but only a moder ate degree of cold until the interior of the country is reached. South-eastern Alaska 'een described Dy recent ex plorers as huv!.:g more than a toler able climate. For a considerable part f the year it is pleasant and altogether agreeable. Jt is essentially that of Vancouver. The exhalations or moist air are drifted inland. Vegetation is rank, and a great deal of the land can be made very productive. It is not to be supposed that the influence or tne Kuro-i-wo is lost after passing Van couver in a southerly direction. It no doubt has come influence all along the Oregon coast, and greatly aids in the precipitation of mo'sture In Washing ton territory and northern Oregon. In California we get only fog? as a divid end, but they greatly aid vegetation. Capt. Dall does not make his deuion- I ration or a non-Cowing warm current ;n Behring straits very clear, and the fact that the water is warmer on. one bide than the other would still leave some ground for the old hypothesis. Paris Astronomical llnMum. Considerable progress has been made with the new museum now forming at the Paris Observatory. Among other objects are Mercator's globes, dating from the middle ol the sixteenth cen tury. That figuring tha earth is the first on which meridians of longituue and parallels of latitude were laid down. The great equatorial lakes of Africa, it is reported, are all to be tound upon it. The glass cases contain the first portable meridian circle cotv structed on Admiral Mouchet's plan; the pendulums of invariable dimen sions employed by Captains Fraissinet and Duperre in their voyages around the world, for the determination of the absolute value of the intensity of the cenpetal force and of gravity at dif ferent points of the earth's surface; and the apparatus used by M. Cornu, of the Institute, with a view to deter mine the velocity ol light from ohier vations made between the Observatory and the Tower of Montlhery. Another glass case, adds the Journal les IkhaU contains the standard metre of the First Republic; the toise used in in I'eru for measuring a degree at the equator; the toUe used in Laplandsome abort time afterward for measuring the polar degree, end the platinum kilogi amine made by the Republican Commission of Weights and Measures. Freshel's len, the firntever graduated, Is also deposited in the new museum, and the object-glass of the great as tronomer Cassini, which he used in successively determining the existence of Jupiter's satellites, Saturn's double ring, the abnormal flatness of Jupiter's poles, and the vast velocity of his rota tion, as well as that of Mars. In an other of the cases are to be seen the doubly refracting prisms with the help of which Arago measured the diameter (.f the great planets, Neptune excepted Slnety Mile In Ninety Minute. The Baldwin Locomotive Works, in Philadelphia, Pa., have just turned out a re markable specimen of work intended for a remarkable purpose. It is a passenger en gine constructed for the Heading road, to be run over the Bound Brook route, be tween that city and New York, in which service it is expected to eclipse anything of the kind going. It has been built chiefly f-ir speed, and if the expectations of the contracting parties are carried out, the time lietween that city and New York over the above route will be lessened about half an hour. The distance from Philadelpaia to New York is ninety miles, and the fast trains over both the Pennsylvania and Bound Brook roads have been making it in about two hours. The Heading people are aiming to make the distance in one hour and a half, and with this object in view they some tune ago contracted with the Baldwin company to build them an engine that would perform the work, or, in other words, accomplish inety miles in ninety j.-onsecutive minutes. The new engine has the largest pair of driving wheels, perhaps, of any engine in this country, the wheels being 6 J feet in diameter. The ordinary driving wheel of passenger engines has a d ameter of from 5 to 5 feet. The new cn gine is different in other respects also, hav ing bu'. one pair of driving wheels instead of two ad Utional smaller ones as is the usual custcn. It is also much heavier than the regular passenger engine ; its weight is about 64,000 pounds, while the ordinary engine weighs from 70,000 to 73,0o0 pounds. It is expected to make llic entire flistance to New York without stopping to take water. That this may be done it is supplied with a tank of about twice the capacity of engines in general. It will hold 4.000 gallons of water. The capacity of the ordinary passenger engine is from 2,000 to 2,500 galious. The new engine, which was taken out of the works a few days ago and is now at Reading, will lie put to use on the Bound Brook Route within a week or ten days. Should the attempt to thus lessen the time between Philadelphia and New York prove successful other engines will be built and put regularly cn the road. Panic and Sun Spots. A curious bear ing of science upon commerce is sug gested in reference to commercial pan ics. It is said that these have during the last half century shown a tendency to occur periodically, the interval which- eepcrates them being about ten years. The period corresponds closely to the greatest sun spot period of 11 years a fact to which attention has recently been called. , Baared Birds- Extraordinary honors were paid the goose In ancient times; and it Is till held in gieat veneration by some of the Eastern nations. The figure that oc curs so frequently on Buddlst monu ments is the Brahmanese goose. The ancient Britons, according to Ca-sar, held it impious to eat the flesh of goose. The ibis was another bird held in the greatest sauctity by the old Egyptiaus. There are still numerous pits contain ing ibis mummies in that country. The largest of them, a little to the westward of the pyramid of Aboutir, is about twenty feet deep. The floor of this pit, for probably a depth of many feet, is covered with heaps on heaps, and lay ers on layers, of coarse earthen jars, the lids cemented down, containing each the body of an ibis, preserved with bitumen and enclosed In numer ous folds of narrow cloth bandages. Some of the mummies are found in a state of great preservation black and charred, and incapable of ''being taken whole out of the bandages, but all the bones, the heads, acd ail the feathers entire. Whether these animals were thus embalmed and brought to this place of burial whenever found dead, or whether collected here only as ob jects of worship, is a question of which no ancient authority assists in the solu tion. The Mohammedans Lave a great veneration and esteem for the stork. It is almost as sacred with them as the ibis was with the Egyptiaus; and they would look upon a person as profane who should kill, or even harm one. So precious were these birds held in Thessaly, which country they are said to have cleared of serpents, that the slayer of a stork was punifhed with death. They were thought much of at Rome; for when a person, from a freak of luxury, ordered It to be placed on his dinner table, he drew upon himself the direful obloquy of the whole city. The robin is considered in several countries a sacred bird; to kill one is little les than sacrilege, and its eggs are free from the hands of the bird master. It is asserted that the respect shown to it by man is joined in by the animals of the wood. The weasel and the wild cat, it is said, will never mo lest It when killed. One cause for the veneration in which it is held may be the superstition which represents it as the medium through which mankind are wared of approaching death. Before the decease of a person, a robin is be lieved, in many Instances, to tp thrice at the wi.idow of the room In which the sick person is lying. Grimm says that the peculiar veneration with which this bird is treated has been shown by the whole German race from remote times; and be refers to the bird's color and its name as evidence that it was sacred to Thcr, the god of lightning. The swallow, too, in Ger many is everywhere tkemed a sacred Bird. Like the stork, it preserves the house on which It builds its nest from Are and lightning. The Spanish peas ants have a tradition that it was a swal low that tried to pluck the thorns out of the crowa of Christ as he bung upon the cross; hence they have a great rev erence for this bird, and will never de stroy it. In parts of France the wren is a sacred bird. To kill it or rob its nest Is deemed an atrocity which will bring down the lightning on the culp. rit's dwelling. Such an act was also regarded with horror in Scotland. The whydah bird and the water- wagtall are bell sacred by the natives of several parts of Africa. Among the Mandaii Indians the uove is held so sacred that neither man, woman, nor child will Injure It; Indeed, the Maiv dan Indians declare that even their dogs, ferocious as they are, instinctive ly respect that bird.

Vndcrgroond Cariosities, At the city of Medina, in Italy, and about four miles around it. wherever the earth Is dug, when the workmen arrive at a distance of sixty three feet, they come to a bed of chalk which they bore with an auger, five feet deep. They then draw from the pit before the auger Is removed, and upon Its ex traction the water bursts up through the aperture with great violence, and quickly fills the newly made well, which continues full aud is affected neither by rains or drought. But what s the most remarkable in this opera tion Is the layers of earth as we de scend. At the depth of fourteen feet are found the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets, houses, 11 xrs and differ ent pieces of mason work. Under this is found a soft cozy earth, made up of vegetables, and at twenty-six feet, large trees entire, such as walnut trees, with walnuts still sticking to the stem, and the leaves and branches In a per feet state of preservation. At twenty eight feet deep a soft chalk is found, mixed with a vast quantity of shells, aud the bed Is eleven feet thick. Under this, vegetables are found again. AGRICULTURE. Bitteb Hat asd Pastuhb. Anyone passing through agricultural districts, say in June when the herbage has about or nearly reached its full growth must notice bow land is only half or a quarter utilized, by allowing the un checked growth of all sorts ot weeds. A large proportion of this land is pas tured, and the way the poor cattle have to seek out the little grass from among the overwhelming weeds is a source of actual sadness. These pasture fields, too, are allowed to go on producing noxious weeds for a series of years without an effort being made to get rid of iheui by the surest mode known to the observing farmer frtqnent cultiva tion. Then, again, we see the same proportion of weeds in many fields trom which the cattle bay is to be cut and this is done year af'er year just a though cows and other cattle would eat the weeds any more rapidly dry than green. It is as apparent as the sun at noonday that to whatever extent weeds are allowed to growjust to that extent is the land wasted. Now that this can be avoided in most cases scarce ly admits of doubt. Aud what is true of the pasture fields, is the same where the herbage is left to become hay. The good clean Meld Is the exception. Not only the ox-eye daisy, but sorrel aud plantation, anil asters of various kinds, which cattle care no more for when dry than when green, constitute the bulk of what is to be hay; and it is tol erably good stuff which has but one fourth of extraneous matter. We have before suggested that our agricultural societies, which give so many and such high premiums for fast trottiug horses might at least share a little for the en couragement of the food which the noble auimal is to eat. Premiums for well-grown hay, clean bay, hay from improved grasses, aud well-managed hay-fields, would surely be objects worthy of the attention of even a "State agricultural society," and we think it will become so if the press will unite in commending the subject to general attention. Surely there is no greater eyesore than a field, looking as if it might produce thirty bushels oi wheat, seventy -five of corn, or from two to three tons ot first-class hay to an acre, allowed to be covered with masses ot noxious weeds, which can and should be destroyed. A merchant from the city w ho may pass through Jt rural sec tion, and see these myriad of ox-eyed daisy flowers, will almost invarhtb'y ask why tuey are there, and if they cannot be exterminated and good hay and grain raised instead. Shobt-hokns vor tuk Dairt. Be fore the uncertainties of tradition were supplar-ted by tlfe facts of history, the Durham cow was known and highly prized in some parts of England fer her dairy qualities. In the earlier history of this breed they were kuown as the Tees water, the.llolderness, the York shires or Durham, depending upon the location where bred aud kept. But, about a century ago, Mr. Turner, ol Hurworlh, bred the famous bull Hub back, aud from hlin and bit descendants, Foljunibe, Bolingbroke, Favorite, and Comet, were established the various families of the improve Short-horn breed of cattle. Robert and Charles Collng, taking the lead and making se lections from the Teeswaters, York shires and Durham?, established the Duchess family or Short-horns which has been sure to improve every other known breed ol cattle with w hich they Lhave been crossed. The rollings have been followed by Bates, Booth, Spen cers Ducle, aud others of England, by Morris, Thorn, Sheldon, Alexander, Groom, Wads worth, Kelley, Harrison, Butts, Samuel Campbell, aud a host of others, until the Short-horn is well known aud duly appreciated in every civilized country ot" tho world. Al though some ot the breeders named, and many others, have bred for fancy, rather than for the dairy, yet the dairy qualities are inherent In the breed, in an eminent degree, and on'y require proper management to develop it iu its original strength with absolute ter taiuty. I might give records of milk, of butter and cheese, of Short-horns, and thtir grades, but it will perhaps be suilicient lor me to say that the largest yield of milk on record was by Duchess 1st, the motner ol the Duchess family of Short-horns. The largest yield of chee.-e per cow on record was produced by a herd of grade Short-horns, owned by A. L. Fish, Esq., of Herkimer county, New York. The great value of the Short-horn over other breeds for the dairy, is in her ability to digest and assimilate the food she consumes more perfectly than any other breed, thereby enabling her on a given amount of food, to produce the most milk, the most but ter, the rnost cheese, aud the most beef for the tood consumed, of any breed of cattle we have. From experiments recently made by Mr. J. H. -Burns, it appears that the application of yeast to insects produces in them a fatal fungus, and diluted yeast is therefore recommended as de structive to the potato bet tie. it would at least be an easy thing to tiy. Cent clio of the plum stings the fruit while it is quite small. The trees should be jarred In early morning, be ginning when they are just passing out of flower, and the sluggish beetles caught on a sheet opened beneath the tree lor the purpose. Afterward tho?e caught on the sheet should be burned. There is contained in the corn robs raised In the United States from 115 to 120 million pounds of carbonate of pot ash, which Is the third roost valuable article required In agriculture. Imitation Power ol Dog. Some dogs possess an imitating power which in men is called originality, inven tion, discovery they make experiments. We had a pointer that exhibited this faculty in a curious manner. She was weakly when young, and for that reason, together with other circumstances, was never properly trained a fact that may perhaps have pre vented her "mind from congealing into the stolidity of routine. She became an outdoor pet, and lollowed at heel every where. One day some ponds were netted, and of the fish taken a few chanced to be placed in a great stone trough from which cattle drank in the yard. Sometime after wards the trough being foul, the fish tbey were roach, tench, perch, and one small jack were removed to a shallow tub, being scarcely a foot deep, though broad, they were, of course, distinctly visible, and at once became an object of the most interest to the pointer. She would not leave it, but stood watching every motion of the fish. with her head now on one side, now oo the other. There she must have remained some hours ; and was found at last in the act of removing them one by one, and lay ing them softly, quite unhurt, on toe grasi. We put them back into the water, and waited to see the result She took a good look and then plunged her nose right under the surface and half-way up the neck, com pletely submerging the head hi that position groped about on the bottom till a fish came in contact with her mouth, and was in stantly snatched out. The head must have been under water each time nearly a min ute, feeling for the fish. One by one she drew them out and placed them on the ground, until only the jack remained. He puzzled her, darting away awiu as an ar row, and seeming to anticipate the enemy. But after a time he too was captured. When the fish were returned to the tub, the pointer again commenced her fishing. Scareoly anything could be imagined ap parently more opposite to the hereditary intelligence of pointer than this; and cer tainly no one attempted to teach her, neither did she do it for food. It was an original motive of her own. To what can It be compared but mind proceeding by experiment! EGMESTIC. Brvad fob sacce for gams.

Mr. Jfukdine, the noUd conjurer of the Egyptian Hall, London' has Inven ted an apparatus to cheek the fares taken by the London omnibuses. Bear ing in mind that a separate fare is charged for each section of the distance, to accomplish this was no easy matter. Naturally, it is rather a complUated affair; it is automatic and works by clock-work, each person receiving a ticket marked for his particular dis tance and the fare. A self-register Is made by the movement of persons en tering and leaving, by their weight on the steps acting as a lever.

'I he record shows that iu the period from 1722 to 1799 auroras were observed cn 4,245 nights. The exttnsice studies of Dr. Decaisne have proven to him conclusively that immoderate smoking of tobacco pro duces in certain subjects especially in woman and children an Irregular ac tion of the heart, which quickly disap pears when the causa is removed.
