SUMNER AND WINTER CLorHrSc.-Il

SUMNER AND WINTER CLorHINc.-If
several pieces of cloth, of the same size
and quality, but of different colors, black
blue, green, yellow and white, be
thrown on the surface of snow in clear
daylight, but especially in sunshine, it
will be found that the black cloth will
quickly melt the snow beneath il, and
sink downwards. The blue will do the
same. but less rapidly; the green still
less so; the yellow slightly and the
white not at all. We see, therefore,
that the warmth or GOODNESS Of clothing
depends as well on its color as its quality
A white dress, or one of light color,
will always be cooler than one of the
same quality of a dark color, and es-
pecially so in clear weather, when there
is much sunshine. A white and light
color reflects heat copiously, and absorbs
but little while a black and dark
color absorbs copiously, and reflects
little. From this we see, that expe-
rience has supplied the place of science
in directing the choice of clothing
The use of light colors always prevails
in summer, and that of dark colors in
winter

.STRAUB,S PATENT PORTABLE
CORN AND FIGURING MILL,
MANUFACTURED By JAMES TopD Il Co.,
CiActnaati, OHIO.

This mill never chokes nor clogs in the eye.
Having no driver or rind, and the stone through
which the eye passes being at rest, there is no.
thing to obstruct the passage Of the gram which
falling freely upon the lower stone, is instantly
distributed by its centrifugal motion whereas,
in all other mills, the whirling and rapid motion
OF the driver, rind and stone obstructs the pas
sage Of the grain, and piles it against the side Of
the eye, until it desccnds in a body and chokes
the mill This serious difficulty is wholly obvi-
ated by running the lower stone; nor is the grind
ing OF this mill affected by any irregularity in the
speed: it grinds uniformly well, whether driven
at slow or high speed, and will never be injured
by running empty, as the lower stone is the one
in motion, and cannot come in contact with its
fellow. It is easily understood, not liable to get
out OF order, and can be managed b. negroes, or
persons vino have but a very Sigh; knowledge
Of milling.
For further particulars address the undersigned
through the Franklin Post Office, who Will give
every Information respecting it.

QUEER ANNExATIoN.-The Bangor
Gazette makes mention of Janus like
apple, which was grown in Exeter, and
produced by the process of budding
one side of the apple is sweet, the other
sour. Two buds, one sweet, the other
sour, were united and inserted in the
same stock, and grew into one branch,
the fruit of which is this annexation
of opposites. The line of division be-
tween the two qualities is as perfect in
the apple as it would be if the haves
of two apples of the same size were
fitted together.

70 Capt. Boxer, of the Royal Horse
Artillery, has invented a very effective
lighting carcase, to be fired into the air
over an enemy's position, so as to show
his arrangements and movements in
the darkest night. II burns in the air
at great altitude At the highest
point an explosion took place similar
to the bursting of rocket in the air,
and out came parachute fully six feet
in diameter, and about three feet in
depth, suspending brilliant blue light
The apparatus floated to the southeast,
Illuminating the whole of Woolwich
common under and around it, with a
light nearly equal to that of a full moon
on a clear night
