THE CHAMELEON.

To the Cameleon has been attributed
the singular faculty of changing the col
our Of their skin, according TO the col
our of the substance on which they are
placed, and of subsistng upon air. This
belief has arisen from the extraordinary
size of their lungs, which they are capa-
bic of distending with air TO such an e.
normous extent, as to fill nearly their
whole body, and render their skin some
what transparent.--Hence they were
said 10 feed upon air. In this state OF
distention and semi-transparency, the
skin becomes easily affected by every
change in the circulation and conse-
quently a change Of colour is produced
by the varying wants and passions of the
animal, which influence both the quanti-
ty of respiration and the tint Of the
blood.

Dear Sir-I have attentively examined the
Columbian Class Book, and am well satisfied
that the plan is judicious and well executed,
and that School Book containing such va
riety of useful information, exhibited in SO in
teresting form, will be an addition to the adj
vantages already enjoyed by American youth.
Should you proceed to publish the book, as |
hope you will, should have no doubt of its
gaining, in due time, an extensive patronage
among the instructors and friends Of the rising
generation. With the sincerest wishes 70:
your success in this effort to promote the edu-
cation of our youth, am Sir, yours very re-
spectfully, .-

have had the satisfaction of casting my
eye over the Columbian Class Book, compiled
by DR.. Lowe. The plan appears to me en-
tareLy reW, and presents course of reading
which must be highly interesting as well as
instructive. am much pleased both with
the design and execution of the work, and,
while give it my cordial appreciation, | con-
fdently recommend it to the Public as a book
calculated TO convey much useful information,
refined amusement, and important instruction.

Dear Sir-t have given your manuscript as
much attention as the time and my Interrupt
ton by company would permit. The plan, I
think, must be good. There seems to be a
variety in the articles, most of the pieces are
in themselves important, and are calculated
to attract the attention of youth, and give
them useful information. With considerations,
&c. your humble servant.

plants were not permitted to grow
within ten or twelve inches of each 9TH
er. They hoe them several times, and
take care that the ground is kept loose
about them, and free from weeds.
The farm of Mr.. William Thurlow,
situate in W. Newbury, contains about
80 acres. 1t is distinguished for hav-
ing the largest and most productive ap-
pie orchard in the county. There are
upon it $500 grated trees in bearing
condition. In some seasons they have
yielded more than 1000 barrels of sound
and fair winter apples, worth at least
1900 dollars. Mr.. Thurlow suffers
sheep only to feed in his orchard grounds.
The limbs of his trees being low, he
does not permit cattle of any descrip-
ton to go among them. He never
Ploughs the land about the trees, OF ap-
Plies any manure to them. He prunes
them more or less annually. Their
f1ourlshlng condition must be attributed
to the peculiar adoption of the soil to
their growth, and its superior natural
strength and fertility. Most of Mr..
Ihurlow's trees produce the common
RoXbury russell apple. This is vau.
able fruit, and pretty sure TO bear; hut
lately other species have come into use
much more valuable. Our farmers gen
orally appear not sufficiently attentive,
in grating their trees, TO obtain the best
kinds Of fruit. Regard, also, should be
had to the character Of the tree from
which the scions are taken that il be
thrifty, productive, and constan, in bear
ing; and that it be Of kind Of fnit
that is not on the decline, or, in the fr
ner's phrase, nearly run out. Natural
fruits, Of trees growing from the seeds,
are occasionally found of excellent quail
ities' either for cider or eating. These
should be preferred in grating.
