March, 1830, in the isle of Ula in Argyleshire, after a heavy rain, numbers of small herrings were found scattered over the fields; they were perfectly fresh, and some not quite dead. In a town in France, some distance from Paris a violent storm took place, and when the morning of the day following broke, the streets were found strewed with fish of different sizes ; the mystery was soon solved, for it was discovered that a fish-pond in the vicinity had been blown dry, and only the larger fish left behind. Dust, ashes, frogs and other such bodies, have also been lifted into and dropped from the atmosphere at different times and in different places. What marvel, then, if the thin and delicate structures which form the life-beginnings of an animalcule or 11 fungus should be forever found floating around us, present under all circumstances, and ready, whenever opportunity offers, to drop and be devel oped into their highest activity 1 We are apt to regard the atmosphere as con sisting of only of air, forgetful of the innumerable organic particles some living, or ready to live, and some dead which float in the folds of its all enveloping mantle. Humboldt's remarks regard ing microscopic life in the air deserve extraction : 'Wheel animalcules, and a host of microscopic insects, are lifted by the winds from the evaporat- i ing waters below. Motionless, and to all appear- ; ance dead, they float upon the breeze, until the 1 dew bear-5 them back to the nourishing earth, and, . bursting the tissues which encloses their transpar ! ent rotating' bodies, instills new life and motion into all their organs. The vellow meteoric sand ur mist (dusi nablucc) often observed to fall in the i Atlantic, and not unfVequently borne in an easterly j direction as far as Northern Africa, Italy, and J Central Europe, consist, according to Ehrenberg's brilliant discovery, of agglomeration ofsiliceous- shelled microscopic organisms. Many of these ; float, perhaps for years, in the highest strata of the ! atmosphere, until they are carried down by the Ete j sian winds, or by descending currents of air, in the ; full capacity of life, and actually engaged in or-, i ganic increase by spontaneous self-division. To- gether with these developed creatures, the atmos j phere contains countless germs of future formation eggs of insects and seeds oi plants, which, by means of hairy or feathery crowds, are borne for ward on their long autumnal journey. Even the vivifying pollen scattered abroad by the blossoms is carried by winds and winged insects over sea and land to the distant and solitary plant Thus, I wheresoever the naturalist turns his eve, life, or i o i of water containing a very small proportion of or ganic matter in solution 1 It is one of the most wonderful spectacles in the world to behold, after a little lapse of time, the peopling up of this drop of fluid with living beings not to be seen in it be fore. We shall content ourselves with a short review of a few of the more remarkable phenomena which reveal to us the fact, that the realms of air are peopled with germs and seeds of animal and vege table life, which float upon every breeze, and are wafted up and down the heavens, round and about the earth. The history of the extraordinary tribe of fungi supplies many singular instances of the presence in the air of innumerable particles readv to burst into life immediately upon their alighting on a suitable matrix. Nothing, in fact, is more wonderful than the apparent omnipresence of fun- &US germS ln t gus germs m me air. a morsel oi ripe truit, a Jit tie water spilt on a crumb of bread, a drop of stale j ink, a neglected bottle of medicine, afford ample evidence of the activity of this teeming life-world . around us.

As everything relating to the treatment of the scarlet fever a disease which has baffled the skill of every department of the Medical profession, and which is as destructive and as much to be dreaded as the cholera is of great interest to the profes- sion and the public, we give place to the following article of Dr. Harvey Lindsly, of Washington Ci ty, to the editor of the " Boston Medical and Sur gical Journal." The plan proposed, has not re ceived the attention, we believe -of the medical pro fession in this country, that its importnace demands, if attended with the satisfactory results represent ed by the writer. It is certainly phiosophical and rational in tiicoryand simple and efficient in prac tice. We believe it is universally admitted that the chief burden of this disease falls upon the skin, and and hence, whatever tends to restore the deranged functions of the surface, will contribute most ma terially to alleviate and arrest the symptoms. Dr. L. does not intend, by the employment of this rem edy, to prevent the use of such other means as ex perience any sanction, as laxatives, internal and external applications to the throat, &c. Treatment of Scarlet Fever by Inunction. From the first day of the illness, and as soon as we are aware of its nature, the patient must be rubbed morning and evening over the whole body with a piece of bacon, in such a manner that, with the ex- ception of the head, a covering of fat is everywhere ( applied. In order to this rubbing somewhat eas-1 ier, it is best to take a piece of bacon the size of; the hand, choosing a parts till armed with the rind, j that we may have a firm grasp. On the soft side , or tins piece, slits are to tie made, m order to allow me oozing out ol me tat I lie rubbing must be thoroughly performed, and not too quickly, in or - der that the skin may be regularly saturated with the fat. The beneficial results of this application are soon obvious; with a rapidity bordering on mag - ic, all, even the most painful sysloms of the dis - ease are allayed; quiet, sleep, good humor, return of appetite, and there remains only the impatience to quit the sick room. The advantages of the treatment indicated may be summed up as follows: 1. The improbability, we might almost say the impossibility of the patient getting cold while the skin is thus covered with fat more important than here. -a point in no disease 2. The dry brittiness 0f the skin and the tor - menting itching, are by it, not only materially al- leviated, but generally entirely removed. Every practitioner knows how often the itching and bnrn ing of the skin in scarlet fever are unendurable to children, keeping them constantly in distressing movements, and robbing them of sleep. Hence children are generally well satisfied with this pro - cess, and often ask for its repetition long before the time is come. 3. The influence on physical functions of the skin is still more important During the coming on of the scarlet fever, the skin becomes diseased, in consequence of which it loses it vital power. During this illness, and until the covering is again prepared for the surface, the functions of the skin are very imperfectly performed, or during the des-!

BTew method of planting Potatoes. The opinion has generally prevailed, that the potato cannot pe successfully grown without the as j sistance of large applications of energetic and strong manure. My experience however, with this crop) since the prevalence of the rot has induced me to adopt a different opinion. Finding that every in stance where green, unfermented manure was ap plied and where gypsum was used as a substitute both on old lands and there recently broken up, the rot or murrian as it is denominated in Europe, prevailed ta o most fearful extent, I have, for the last two years, planted my crop on green sward turned over early and deeply in the spring, with out any other stimulus than that contained in the soil itself and with complete sucecess, so far aafe gards immunity from the rot. Plaster or gypsum I consider the very worst application that can be j made, even in dry seasons. Indeed I have nev- er known an instance of its being applied where the tubers were not most injuriously if not fatally af fected. Why it is so is a point equally as obscure to my comprehension as the cause of the disease itself. It is true that a less yield resulrs from this CUcf Om rvf trr- mnnnK!nn.

My method of planting is as follows : ' ing as efficient as the men. and much fiorror Early in the spring I break up my sward land choosnig for this purpose such portion of my mowing lands as are very rich, roll and harrow. 1 spare no pains to bring the surface to a fine and even tilth, as by so doing I in a measure obviate the necessity of manure. Having accomplished this important preliminary part of the performance I next draw my furrows three feet and a half apart, and drop my tubers, which I select from the smal - j lest or medium sized portion of the previous crop, as they produce earlier potatoes-placing them two 1 feet apart in the rows, a closer stand having a ten - dency to induce a stagnation of air, and thereby j induce disease. Before planting, I expose the seed . for a week or so on the sunny side of a fence, or ; out building, covering them carefully over at night to prevent them from being frosted, and plant them whole. I cover them with a coverer. This J is a very simple implemnt, and is made thus ; two pieces of plank, two inches thick, six wide and three and a half feet long are attached to one t end by an iron hinge so as to admit of the instru- j ment being contracted or expanded at pleasure. - At the narrownd, a portion of the wood is cut out, say from one-fourth of the distance forward. : to the extremity, leaving just enough at the point j to hold the hinge. The wide end is the forward nart and is kept expanded by a cross bar to which the horse gear handles are attached. This when drawn J longitudinally of the furrows, draws on the dirt, and the scarfed opening behind, leaves a ridge over the i potatoes, of uniform depth and width. The inner 1 sides of the main pieces ought to be protected by i thin plates of iron, extending half an inch below me edges, and running the entire length. One of .. these coverers will save its cost in a single day. Oermantown Telegrajm. Agricola. IflysicrjoiEs Poison.

The various particulars of statistical and other information relative to Dahomey, acquired by Lieut Forbes during his first mission, says the Ath enaeum, may be thus thrown together. The coun try is about 180 miles in extent from east to west, and about 200 miles from the sea cost to its in land frontier, the Kong mountains. This large country, though rich in all kinds of natural resour ces, is very thinly peopled, owing to the devasta ting war and slave hunts of which it has been the scene for more than a century. The whole popu lation does not exceed, it is supposed, 200,000 per sons of both sexes, of whom only 20,000 are free. Tjhe capital, Abomey, numbers about 30,000 in- Jbitants.
