RAIN-There is one remarkable fact
connec cted with the fall of rain, which has
never yet received satisfactory explana-
,ion. Over any given spot more rain
falls at tho surface of the earth than a.
bove it. Heberden made some expert;
ments to ascertain this fact, in the follow
ing manner:-He fixed rain guage on
the square part of the roof of Westninis-
ter Abbey. away from the western tow!
ers, which might obstruct the clouds, an
other on the roof of a neishboring house.
and third on the ground Id the garden.
Of the same. The number Of inches Of
rain caught on the Abbey roof was IL,
on the hoTse-top IS, and in the garden
90. The i'llGstrious French astronomer.
Arago, has for many years noticed the fall
of'Fain, at different heights. at the obServ-
atory at Paris. and bis results with which
hundreds Of others agree, are like those
of Heberden. 1t is we'll known that the.
quantity Of rain which falls a: the foot Of
a mountain is considerably larger than
that deposited on it's summit. Many OK.
plantations have been offered Of this curl
Gus fact, but none to which the scientifl6
have given sanction. s

PGTAToEs.-The New York EUening
Post says that the Germans have recent
ly taken particular fancy to raising po-
tatoes. The followingis is the method a
dopted by them. We give it as mat
ter of general interest Its advantages
can easily be tested: ..... .
"The potatoe is planted ,whole without any
preparation, only allowing a little more space than
usual When the plants have attained the height
of the hand. they are also cleaned and hoed as
usual When, however, the time for drawing up
the earth around them has arrived. the following
process is adopted. The green stalks are divided
and laid down by the hand on the fiat soil in The
form Of the spokes of wheel, and covered with
the neighboring earth; the operation being read
lily performed by placing the foot on the plant
Some weeks later the leaves begin to push thro'
the soil when they are again laid down and COW
cred with four inches OF earth; this is all the la
Dor required. and occupies about the same time
as the ordinary hoeing process, but produces six
times more fruit. The subterranean stalks are
covered with potatoes in the form Of wreath or

that when the metal has attained high
