hommed are full of scientific blunders. But
this freedom from such blunders affords a
strong presumptive evidence in favor. of the
divine authenticity Of the Scriptures.
Another such presumption is found in the
place which man occupies in the works Of
creation. Itwould be natural to place him al
the beginning, but both the Scriptures and
Geology place him last.
Again, that Geology illustrates several i'm.
portant doctrines Of the Bible, he regarded as
a presumption in favor OF the authenticity o.
the Bible d a m s.il t-. -,.
He concluded with an earnest and eloquent
appeal to the young gentlemen composing the
Association, based on his own personal expe-
rience, in favor of the practical study of Geol-

APPLES WITHOUT SEEDS OR CoREs.-A
correspondent of the Memphis Whig givesthe
following receipt for obtaining apples without
seeds and cores Take the ends Of the limbs
of an apple tree. where they hang low, 50 as
to reach the ground, dig small hole for each
end under the tree, bend it down and bury il
in the hole, confning it down so that it will
remain. DO this in the winter, or beginning
Of spring. The end Of the limb thus buried
will take root and put up sprouts Of sciohs,
which when they become sufficiently large
to set OUT dig up in the proper season, and
transplant them in the orchard where you wish
them to remain. When they get large enough
to bear, they will bear apples as above:

SlneWs Of Iron.

we wandered into machine shop ves,erz
day. Everywhere, up stairs, and down stairs
intelligent machines were doing he wort orce
done by thinking and toiIing men. "a one
place chuckle-heaGed affair, looking like an
elephants frontispiece, was quickly biting bars
OF cold iron in two, as if they had been 60 MANY
oaten straws.
In another place, fierce little thing, with a
sPindle-shaped weapon-a sort Of mechanical
Devils Darning Neede-was boring square
holes through solid wooden wheels, three
inches or more in thickness.
Away there, in a corner, device, about as
large and as noisy as a humming bird, was
amusing itself cutting out pieces Of steel from
solid plates, as easily as children pnncture pa
per patterns with pin.
All by itself in another place, was a ma
chine that whistled like a boatswain, and rough
boards came forth, planed, grooved, finished
ready for place in something; somewhere, for
somebody.
Everywhere these queer machines were
busy. doing all sorts of things in all sorts Of
ways boring and planning, and growing, and
mortising turning, and bending, and sharpen
ing, and saving.
Down stairs, in room by itself, as if it
would be alone, we found the grand mover of
all these machines,
In corner, some distance from the genius
we write Of, fire was burning, perhaps to
keep il just comfortable and perhaps not.
1t was very busy-the thing was-moying
an arm Of polished steel, backward and forward
over a frame equally polished and glittering
as one in thought sitting by table passes his
fingers 10 and fro along the smooth surface of

M Pauen, Bath, Me-, has invented an I'M
nrovamept 10 machines for punching clinch

in novel arrangement Of levers, by which the
upper die is punched through The ring for
forming the central hole, and the lower die Is
at the same time made to give The proper shape

The Mammoth Tree from California.

The clipper ship Messenger, which recent
ly arrived here from San Francisco, brought
on deck one of the greatest natural curiosities
that could be offered to the public. 1t is moth
ing more nor less than section Of the Cali
fornia tree the largest tree that has been dis
covered ir the modern Eldorado-the largest
in the world. This tree was Situated in the
southwesterly slope of hill, Ill soil fifteen
feet in depth. It's roots extended in all direc-
tlons for more than fifty rods upon the hillside,
and downwards TO the depth of the SOIL At
the ground its circumference was 90 feet,
feet above that it was 88 feet, and 10 feet
above 66 feet, and the tapering Of the shaft
was very gradual and symmetrical upwards
for 1926 feet to its very top. From actual es-
innate Of its diurnal layers, it is more than
300 years since this unparalleled majesty of
! cedar was sapling in its teens Then for
large space on the outer surface next to the
bark the rings Of growth are SO thin as not to
be distinguished from each other.
The outward dimensions of the main trunk
were about the same as the Bunker Hill Mon
ument. From actual measurement it contains
moro than three hundred cords of wood A
vast deal of labor was required to level such a
mountain of wood to the earth, and after almost
Incredible toiling with augers; axes, and saws
at its foot, It finally fell PROSTATE; the crash
can neither be imagined nor described the lar
of the hill was perceived for miles as if an
earthquake had passed that way.
The base having been much burned by the
fire Of the Indians, it was necessary in order
to get perfect section, TO chop the tree en-
tirely through twice. After one hundred and
fifty days incessant labor this was effected, and
the block Of ten feet in length lay severed from
the huge pile. But the next thing was to
transport such q mass, and by any available
means at hand it was apparently as impossible
as it would have been to move the hill where
it laid. 1t was finally burned through the CEN
ter, the earth was dug away from one end and
fire built underneath which was left burning
for several weeks The auger hole made a
good chimney which was gradually developed
by the action Of the fire until the men could
work inside with their axes. In this manner
it was excavated to within about two feet of
the surface. 1t was afterwards moved down
the hill with levers for more than mile, tleh
drawn eighteen miles by twenty oxen to Men
tinut and then shipped to San Francisco.
At San Francisco, only about fifty miles
from the place Of its growth, it was the great
est curiosity ever exhibited. The whole city
of men, women and children focked to see it.
One hundred men could easily stand inside the
hollow at the same time, and six foot man
rode full sized horse through it without
touching his hat to the upper surface.
This great curiosity is to be exhibited in
this city for short time before its removal to
New York and Boston.-Phil. Ledger.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING SHOT. Gen. Sir
Z, Packenham, who was killed at New Or
leans, by ball that went through the COM
mon lilac artery, had been twice shot through
the neck in early life. The first shot, which
went through high up, from right to left,
turned his head little to the right. The
second shot, from left to right, brought it
straight. My kind and excellent friend had
ever afterwards great respect and regard for
the doctors, and strong feeling for the
wounded. The recollection of that regard,
and the advantage derived from It has made
me sometimes think it might be advantageous
for the unfortunate, as well as for the doc
tors, if every general could be at least once
shot through the neck Or the body, before he
was raised to the command of an army in the
field; for there is nothing like actcal expert
ence of suffering to make men feel for their
fellow creatures in distress. ss.-LondoH Lancet.
