The Stability Of the New Reservoir.

The controversy going TO the stability of the
embankments being constructed at the reservoir
which seriously the upper part of the city,
may be that they will be adequate to the pressure they
may have to sustain but nothing certainly, should be
left undone which would give them absolute permanence
The principles upon which such works are constructed
simple, and Of easy application.
cubic foot Of weighs ~ lbs and presses with
that weight every square foot which it rests and
every foot in depth adds that force to the pressure. If
the depth Of reservoir be IS feet every square foot of
ground its bottom susains pressure of IS times so
or 2,1sTH lbs.
Besides this vertical pressure there lateral pressure,
thrust which s equal the perpendicular line to half
the depth of the liquid column pressing against the
bankment tending to force it from its place. W says
Mr. Gynn eminent English civil engineer, "there be an
embankmept mound GOO yards 500 feet in length,
with depth OF 81 feet water against it, the whole lateral
thrust aganst at half the perpendicular PRESSURE will be
than SO 600 TONS while the lateral pressure exerted
at the foot of the embankment is equal nearly to the
whole perpendicular forcer The depth ofwater and the
length Of the mounds of the reservoir being known
IL easy to determine the lateral pressure Of the vast
quantity Of water it is TO contain.
The writer says it often occurs that alluvial soil
upon materials which permits oozng Of the water
slope in the direction Of the lateral pressure, and such
require the most scientific engineering and practical
skill As m almost invarabe rule. nothing should be
left to chance The banks mounds should have flat
slopes stout puddle walls and lining, earthwork and ma
sorry sufficiently massive To sustain the greatest possible
of thrust lateral PRESSURE and careful geolo
gical examination of the strata which they rest
% Great responsibility lies upon the man who attempts by
inefficient means 10 restrain destructive and overwhelm
ing torrent
In this view of the subject think is due to public
opinion and public safety that competent board OF eng
neers should he called together TO consider and revise
need be- the plans Of Mr. Craven the present Engineer Of
the Croton Board The Mayor in his annual message ex
presses his entire confidence in the work. and it 10 be
presumed he bases his opinion that Of scientific men,
Nevertheless IL ~ perhaps safest TO consult additional
authorities before the question is decided.

Csat7M Executive at Valencia to Escape Foreign In
fsence
The people are becoming very sad in this capital and
many are becoming clamorous, in consequence OF the
great delay in forming the new constitution which has
been committed TO the Convention now in session moro
than i've months at Valencia with tho old constitution
Of 1880 before them II may be remarked that this 10
progressive people, The constitution Of 1880 provided
that all might enjoy religion according TO the dictates of
their conscences and worship God according 10 their
own creeds, either in temples or private houses This
privilege is absolutely rejected by the new con-
stitution. A people who pretend TO be repab-
leans governed by the most arbitrary and
despotc prince in Europe--the Roman Pontf-
Republicans indeed Every country and people governed
by superstition and intolerance remains in quo whilst
the world rapidly progressing The seeds Of the nqai
snon are again sproutine In Venezuela
nonsgas will soon be welcomed back at this rate
Besdes the Secretary Of ,he Treasury has recommend
ed that the payment Of the public debt be suspended for
five years-say $4,000 0o0 The revenue in that time
would be $40 600 600 from customs alone, 10 be divided
among few officials, and the just debts Of the country
to remain unpaid. This would be reform indeed.
VIII foreign governments remain passive and submit to
such imposition and gross robberes from people who
entirely incapable Of managing their affairs and
who withhold justice from othersP
If General Paez does not arrive and exercise an
influence over this people, counter revolution inevitable;
discomfort is manifest in every cOuntenance hundreds OF
dwelling houses have been given up by their tenants,
trade suspended, laborers without employ and debts
paid by the treasury money distributed TO the people
all is retained for the officials and fayortes of those in
power.

WINTERINe BEEs.-The Painesville I'D
rsrtissr states that an experiment to winter
ing Bees, somewhat new, probably, wa,
tried the past winter by DR.. Stockton, Of
that village:
In December last, he took two swarms,
and buried them, (in the bives), two feet
under ground-leaving no air holes. To
one Of the swarms, he allowed honey snfi-
eient for their nourishment, and to the other
swarm none. On taking the hives mp a
week or so ago, be found both swarms alive,
and also found the honey nnmolested.--
Both swarms are BOW at wOrk-appareutlv
in good condition, and as active as the
bees wintered in the usual way.

RooE CRoPs.-If farmers would give more
attention to root crops, they would keep
more stock, and consequently make more
manure and raise a larger crops. Root
culture is one Of the greatest causes of
thrift in English agriculture. Now is the
time for sowing carrots, mangels, beets and
parsnips Carrots delight in depth and
openness of soil and are highly medicinal
both for horses and cattle. They should
occupy some space in every root field
MangeIs grow well on corn land but are
suited TO greater diversity of soil than
the turnip. They are not as hardy as the
ruta bags, need harvesting early, and care
mnst be taken about bruising them. Ex-
periments made in Ireland show that the
smangels, that grow on half a rood of land,
equal the oats that two acres produces,
when fed to working horses They keep
through the winter as well as potatoes. Give
them q trial.

MAYING.-The country moves. Go
abroad anywhere, even in the city of the
dead, this month, and you will discover
signs of life. Man and beast and bird
unite in selemnizing natures holy sacra-
ment Of seed-time" Dews and sunshine
shed their potent influence on the teeming
soil, and ''myrisds of vital cells above and
beneath the clods, ferment with elemental
life" May, though noun by nature, and
averb BY grammar, has, in the former case,
an unwonted potential mood Future sue
cess depends upon action now The farmer
must buckle on his harness in earnest this
month. Most Of that ploughing and plant
ing, which is necessary to the sustenance of
man and beast for a future twelve-month
must be conducted in May. Corn, pota-
toes, beans, and the various garden plants
will bear planting during this month
Planting should follow close on turning the
sod. Seeds germinate more freely in fresh
soil. Whatever is done in planting should
be done in faith and thoroughness. No af
ter labor will compensate for wrong plough
ing, planting and manuring Potatoes
should be planted and out of the way
onion may now be sown. Remember, y
says the Agrculturist, "that one acre ol
roots will go further as stock feed than
several acres of hay" In the garden there
is no time for idleness. The beet, cabbage,
caulifower, celery, carrot, parsnip, lettuce,
pea, tomato, radish, onion, bean and squash
may be planted almost any time this month,
depending on the condition of the ground. A
dry warm soil is more congenia to vegeta-
bic growth, than a cold wet one besides
vegetables are better when quickly grown.
A skillful gardener will SO arrange his
ground as to get two or three crops, from
the same soil in season. Tnrnips grow
afler early peas, cabhages after potatoes,
lettuce among cucumbers, and radishes with
beets. In the orchard, continue to graft,
rub off suckers and destroy caterpillar nests
Mulch newly planted trees, and manure old
orchards. Muck, lime, ashes and rotor
wood are the best fertilizers for orchards
