NCNnEH OF AN1MAlS IN EXIsrENcE.- The
number Of ycrtchratcd animals is estimated at
10000: about 100 species Of mammals are
pretty precisely known, aud the number may
probably lie camied to about 1000. The
number Of birds well known is about 1000
or Geo species, and the probable number is
about 5000. The reptiles number about the
same as the mammals / 500 described spc-
ces-and they will probably reach the num-
Der of 1000, The fishes are more numerous:
there are from 5000 10 5000 species in the
museums OF Europe, and the number NAV
probably amount to 5000 or l0,CG0. There
arc collections Of marine shells, biytdoc and
unlyaIve, which amount TO 5 QUO or uO0.
and collections or land and ilaventilc shells
which count us 1000. The tota number OF
molinsks would, therefore, probably exceed
10000 species. Among the a,ticulAted ami
MATS 1t IS difficult to estimate the number of
species There are collgoptcrous insects
which number 20 COO to Is, UU0 species and
it is quite probable that, by uniting the prin-
ciple collections Of insects, G0COO or so, 600
species might now be counted; for the whole
department Of articuIata, comprising the crus-
tacla, cirrh1peda, thc insects, the rcd boodcd
worms, the intestinal worms, and the infuso-
ria, as they belong 10 this department., the
number would already amount to 100 900 :
and 1t IS believed that the probable number
OF species actually existing may be estimated
at double that sum. Add to all these about
10000 for radiat, eyhni, starlishes, mcdusxc
and rOlypi, and we have about 100000 spe-
cies OF lYlnS animals; and surprising the
number OF fossil species to equal them, we

Cons MEAL-CoURsE or FINE.-fieo f.
Dinsmoor Of Elk, Warren County. Penn, is
satisfied from experiments that corn meal
ground very fine for pigs Is 7ery ,n,7ch supc-
ripr to coalse meal lie thinks the hog msht
as well be left to grind his own corn, in his
own way, toll free, if it is only to be ground
Of the same fnenss in the Mill.
We think Mr.. Dinsmoor is right For
human food, corn is spoiled by grinding fine,
unless it is Immediately consumed, and even.
then it is not so good in -four as 1t is in course
meal, or hominy. The miller says if ground
very fine g it kills the life of the corn Tho
statement is true, though not in scientific
terms. Grinding corn to an impalpable
power, like wheat flour, grinds mp and difiu-
ses the oil. which exists in corn in abundance,
and makes it so valuable a grain for fattcnng
purposes to such an extent tia. fine com
meal Will not make light bread without All
addition ola good deal Of staff to make it
appear light. In fact, the meal appears SOIL
den, as it really is, from the diffusion of tho
OIL, and an exposure Of a few days to the air
will make that oily mass turn rancid and
unfit for the human stomach. But not SO for
the strong digestion Of swine. III fact, it is
just lit for their use. The oil is in state
more ready to be assimiatcd and converted
into fat-the glory of the hog and his owner.
rs q rule, then, for grinding corn, let this
fact be borne in mind-,hat for folks and
fowls it cannot be ground too coarse. but for
either pigs or porkers, you cannot grind your
corn too fine, and the meal will be much bet
ter cooked than raw.

TIN order to oil a harness properly, I'M
buckle and separate every strap then wash
it in warm soap-suds. The warmth may
little exceed that of new milk-if approach
ing hot, it will injure the leather The Soap
suds should be used rapidly, and only form
cd on the harness by dust settling on the
previous oins. If the application is longer
continued it will abstract too much oil from
the leather. Carriage harness, to look we'll,
should then be blackencd, and afterw ards the
oil applied. A correspondent of the New
England Farmer, recommends the following
as the best backing he has tried One ounce
o! extract Of logwood, twelve grains of BIZ
chromate ofpotash, both pounded fine, and
then two quarts Of hot water added and stir
rcd till all IS dissolved. it is kept in bottle.
This he says is much better than copcras,
which cuts into leather. He first applies
neats foot oil, and afterwards the same with
one third castor OIL which enables the leath-
er to withstand the effects Of rain and expo
sure longer than otherwise. 1t should not be
forgotten that such parts of the harness az
| are worn and used most, should have the
most oil, which may be siSen by second
application.

so as to be able to SOW them about the 25tfs
of this month. BY sowing thus early, should
the plants be cut of by flies, or fees, there
will be time enough left to resow. Yt1c GER
eral practice has been to sow ;srnips on tho

event of the plants being destroyed by insects

THE BOTTOM OF THE ATLANTIC 1T has
now been satisfactorily ascertainrd by Lieut..
Maury that the bottom Of the Atlantic Ocean
is long trough, separating the Old World
from the New, and extending probably from
pole to pole. From the top Of Chimborazc
to the bottom of the ocean, at the deepest
place reached by the plummet in tile Northern
Atlantic, the distance on vertical line is
nine miles The deepest part of the North
Atlantic is probably somewhere betwee the
Bermndas and the Grand Banks. The waters
of the Gulfof Mexico are held in basin

There is at the bottom Of The sea between

than ten Thousand Hc. deep.

DRILLING WnEAT.-.A correspondent saws
that drilling wheat renders it less liable to be
winter killed, as the plants have more GER
tain foothold in the soil, and the ridges left
by the drill between the rows of wheat will
be gradually clumbled down by the frost, and
thus keep the plants from being heaved ont.
He says, on rolling land the drills should be-
run up and down the grades, to carry off the
water
