Improvement in Horses.

The time was when railroads were opposed
on the ground that horses would be thrown out
fuse. But the fact is, the horse is an adjunct
of civilization and can never be dispensed with
The supply of good horses was never yet equal
to the demand. Everybody knows that the
ability of horse is the measure of his WORTH
horse that can draw 5000 pounds is more val
nable to the drayman than horse that can sim
ply draw 1000 pounds. A horse that will go
mile in three minutes is worth more to physician
or business man than one that goes mile in
ten minutes. We like to see smart men and
smart horses. Inasmuch as the faculties of both
were given them for use, we like to see them
brought into the fullest exercise We believe
in testing the capability of matter. We know
of no agency that has done so much toward i'm
proving the breeds of horses as the exhibitions
OF these animals at the national fairs 1t may
cost time and money on the part Of those who
project and carry them forward, but if a greater
interest is awakened in the public mind for their
improvement, the object is accomplished There
is as much philanthropy in making animal matter
subserylent to mind, as there is in improving the
cell of criminal. We do not believe either in
horse racing, or gambling, but we do believe in
fast horse and handsome gait 1t gives us
pleasure, therefore, to lay before our readers the
following record of the fastest time ever made
by the best horses in America. A mile has been
run in l minute 421 seconds. The same dis
lance has been trotted in minutes 241 seconds.
and been paced in minutes III seconds. In
the way of endurance, combined with speed. we
read of 10 miles trotted in harness. in % Minutes
81 seconds; 90 miles under the saddle trotted
in 50 minutes, SIS seconds so miles, in harness,
trotted in hours SIS minutes 40I seconds; and
100 miles trotted in 8 hours, Sc minutes Sec
ond. In the way of strength, we know ofhorses
that can draw two tuns weight, that can back
as much as they can draw, and that never refuse
to pull. The best of horses are none too good
for the best of men. Neither are perfect vet.

Where does Wood come from?
OR WHAT ARE TREES MADE OF.

OR WHAT ARE TREES MADE. OF
five were to take up handful ofsoil and ex-
anime it under the microscope, we should proba-
bly, find it to contain number of fragments OF
wood, small broken pieces of the branches, or
leaves, or other parts Of the tree II we could
examine it chemically, we should find yet more
strikingly that it was nearly the same as wood
in its composition. Perhaps then, it may be
said, the young plant obtains its wood from the
earth in which it grows? The following expert
ment will show whether this conjecture is likely
to be correct or not. Two hundred pounds of
earth were dried in an oven, and afterwards put
into large earthen vessel the earth was then
moistened with rain water, and willow tree,
weighing FIVE pounds, was planted therein
During the space of five years the earth was
carefully watered with rain water or pure water.
The willow grew and fourished, and to prevent
the earth being mixed with fresh earth, being
blown upon it by the Winds it was covered with
metal plate full of very minute holes, which
would exclude everything but air from getting
access to the earth below it. After growing in
the earth for five years, the tree was removed
and, ON being weighed, was found to have gained
one hundred and sixty -four pounds And this
estimate did not include the weight of the leaves
or dead branches which in five years fell from the
tree. Now came the application of the test
Was all this obtained from the earth 1t had
not sensibly diminished; but in order to make
the experiment conclusive, it was again dried in
an oven and put in the balance. Astonishing
was the result-the earth weighed only taoo oua-
ces less than it did when the willow was first
planted in it /! yet the tree had gained one ham
bred and siaty- four pounds Manifestly, then,
the wood thus gained in this space of time was
not obtained from the earth we are therefore
compelled to repeat our question, "Where does
the wood come from ?" We are left with only
two alternatives; the water with which it was
refreshed, or the air in which it lived It can be
clearly shown that it was not due to the water
we are, consequently, unable to resist the per-
picking and wonderful conclusion, it was derived
from the AR.
Can it be? Were those great ocean spaces
of wood, which are as old as mans introduction
into Eden, and waved in their vast and solitary
luxuriance over the fertile hills and plains of
South America, were these all obtained from the
thin air ? Were the particles which unite to
form our battle-ships, Old England's walls of
wood ever borne the world about, not only on
wings of air, but actually as air themselves p
Was the firm table on which 1 write, the chair
on which rest, the solid floor on which dwell,
once in form which could not as much as Law
my finger on, or grasp in my hand ? Wonderful
truth ! all this is air--Llfe Of a Tree.
