New WAY OF RAISING FRUIT TREEs.-The
Patent Office is in receipt of information from Eng
land, in regard to raising fruit in what termed
orchard houses, by planting small trees in pots
The writer says thata few old sashes some pots and
Notwithstanding is all that is necessary to const
tute house for trying the experiment. Some ex-
periments were made last year under the manage
ment of Mr.. Gordon, in the rose house in the garden
of the Horticultural Society, London. A variety of
young dwarf fruit trees were placed in pots from
twelve to fourteen inches in diameter and as many
as the house would hold were collected in it. This
house is span-roofed, between fifty and sixty feet
long, has half its sashes sliding down and the others
fixed. There is additional ventilation through the
doors, which fall down in the wooden sides, but
there is no artificial heat. The success attending
this experiment was highly satisfactory. The fruit
was abundant highly favored, and Of superior
quality, among which classed Strawberries goose
berries, currants, aprcots, peaches, nectarines,
pears, plums, figs, grapes, &c.
GAgricuHural Dcision Of tho Patent Office.
Thibodaux minerva. [volume] (Thibodaux, La.) 18??-1858, 1856-01-19

TIE BLACK SEA.-Surprise has been express
ed that vessels that 60 dresct to Sevastopol take
smaller cargo than if they we're only to 60 to
Constautinople, or that they diminish their car
60 in the latter port before entering the Black
Sea. The reason is this: the density Of the
water Of different seas is more or less conside-
rable, and the vessels which sail in them sink in
the water more or less, according to that den-
sity. The density arises from the quantity Of
salt contained in the water, and consequently,
the more salt the sea is, the less the vessel en-
tiers it. AS too, the more sale vessel carries,
the deeper she enters the water, it follows that
the more the water is salt the greater is the
quantity of sail that can be carried. Now, the
Black Sea, being sixteen times less salt than the
Mediterranean, . vessel which leaves Toulon or
Marseilles for Sevastopol, must take = smaller
cargo than that which only goes to Constantine
pie, and still smaller one. if it is to enter the
Sea Of Azof. which is eighteen times less salt
than the Mediterranean. It is known that the
Mediterranean is twice as salt as the Atlantic,
once more than the Adriatic, i've times more
than the Caspian Sea, twelve time more than
the Ioniau Sea, and seventeen times more than
the Sea Of Marmora. The Dead Sea contains
NOR salt than any other sea it is asserted that
two tons Of its water yield $50 lbs. of salt and
magnesia. '"
