WHEAT ON Oar STUBBLE.-An expert

wheat after oats, by adopting the following
mode of rotation in crops: Manure corn

seeds Of noxious weeds. If the seeds oI
weeds get in with the manure by putting il

From the Scientific American
Natural Curiosities in New Zealand,

Natural CuriositIes in New Zealand,
One of the uust remarkable features ol
the island of New ZeaIani-situated in the
South Pacific, and the property Of Great
Bri.ain-is the numerous warm and no.
springs and lakes, geysers.&c. which exist
there, in CONNECTION with the volcano oi
Tungeriro. in the central part Of the northern
division of the Island. In The neighborhood
of this volcano is Lake Tanpo, thirty-six
miles long, On the shores of which are hume.
rous hot boiling springs and ponds of water,
which the natives enjoy for bathing purposes.
The temperature in them ranges from 90 c
to i25 Fsh. Ire water of the lake itself
stesms in the neighborhood of the shore.
One or two inches .belaw The surface the
thermometer is often ITO Fab. but lower
down sinks to 60 .. Close to the hot springs
there are very strong cold saline ones. This
large sssembIage of springs covers an area
of about IL. square miles, aud the entire area
seems to be oaly thin crust over subtor-
raneous and volcanic caverss. This crust
is about foot in thickness; below is grey,
soft, and generally hot mud. Ii often hap
pens that this crust breaks in and dreadful
scaldings not unfrequently occur. Here
may be seen the process of decomposition
of volcsnic rocks going on. and the sepera-
tion of the aluminous earth or Cay. by
means of the subterranean vapor aud hot
water.
The natives make peculiar use of some
Of the warm springs which abound in this
region. They surround them with stones,
and these form basin in which thev are
continually sitting. They make new ap-
plicatiun of the seat or hip bath, by using it
in the place OF fire, jumping in as often os
they feel coid.- The practice does no. seem
to hurt them. they being remarkably healthy
in appearance.
