NATURAL SODA FouNrAIN.-Mr. Spalding,
an American missionary, writing from Fort
Vancouver, beyond the Rocky Mountains, de-
scribes this phenomenon, which he passed
three days journey from Fort Hall. The
fountain has several openings, one of which is
about fifteen feet in diameter, with no discov-
cred bottom. About twelve feet below the
surface are two large globes, on either side of
this opening, whence the efiervescence seems
to rise. Astone cast in, after few minutes,
violently agitates the whole fountain. Anoth-
er Of the openings about four inches in diam
eter, is through an elevated rock, from which
the water spouts at intervals of about forty
seconds. The water, in all its properties, is
equal to any artificial fountain, and is con
stantly foaming and sparkling. 1t is STATED
to be very salubrious.

Transformation Of Oats into Rye.-Dr.
Weinsenborn represents statement of this
phenomenon to have been corroberated in the
last annual report of the Agricultural Society
of Coburg, which asserts this transformation
to take place if the oats be sown very late
tabouf Midsummer-day,) and cut f,oice as
green fodder before shooting into flower
stalks, whereupon considerable number of
the oat plants do not die in the course of the
winter, but are changed in the following
spring into rye, forming stalks which cannot
be known from those Of the finest winter-rye.
"Let any one sow the oats during the latter
half OF june, and the Transformation in ques-
lion will certainly take placei''
