HEATING QUALITIES OF DIFFERENT
WOODS,


WOODS.
The heavy and dense woods give the great
est heat, burn the longest and have the
Jensest charcoal. To the dense woods be-
long the oak, beech alder. hazel. birch. and
elm. to the soft. the fir, the pine of different
sorts, larch, linden, willow, and poplar;
these different woods giving out heat in pro-
portion to the relative quanttie, OF their
carbon. For fuel, the most valuable of the
common kinds of wood are the varieties of
the hickory: after that in order. the oak.
the apple tree. the white ash, the dog wood
and the beech. The woods that give out
the least heat in burning are the white pine,
the white birch and the poplar. The re-
mark is sometimes made that 1t il economy
10 burn green wood. because it is more dura-
BILE, and therefore in the end more cheap; but
this idea is erroneous. The consumption Of
green wood is less rapid than dry, but to
produce given amount Of heat far grea-
ter amount of fuel must be consumed The
evaporation of liquids, or their conversion
into steam, consumes or renders latent a
great amount Of caloric. When green wood
is added to the FIRE it abstracts from it by de-
grees sufficient amount OF heat to convert
its own sap or moisture into steam before 1t
is capable of being burned. As long as any
considerable part Of this fuid remains un-
eyoporated the combustion goes on slowly, the
fire is dull and the heat feeble.
MANAGEMENT OF Coal FIREs.--A great
many persons who attempt to burn coal in a
stove waste about as much coal as is necessa-
~ to be consumed for the obtaining Of all the
heat desirable. In making coal fire. there
fore, an observance Of the following rules
will be of much service to the inexperienced.
First, put in double handful of shavings, CT
use light kindling-wood instead Fill the
earthen cavity-if the stove has one--nearly
full of chunks of dry wood, say four OF six
inches in length On the top put dozen
humps of egg coal; light with paper from
beneath In ten minutes add about twenty
Jumps more of coal, and as soon as the wood
has burnt out fill the cavity half to two
thirds with coal. The fire will be good
one. The coal will, by these directions, be-
come thoroughly ignited
Never fill stove more than halt or two
thirds full of coal; even the coolest weather.
When the fire is low, never shake the CRATE
or disturb the ashes, but add from ten to fifteen
small Jumps of COAL and set the draught
open. When these are heated through and
somewhat ignited, add the amount necessary
for a new fire, but do not disturb the ashes;
let the draught be open half an hour, then
shake out the ashes. The coal will be tho
roughly ignited, and will keep the stove at
high heat from six to twelve hours, according
to the GOODNESS of the weather. In very cold
weather, after the fire has been made as di-
rected, add every hour about fifteen to twenty
Jumps of egg coal. The ashes made each
hour will be about in that ratio. Those who
have to buy coal, during the winter, with
ell who burn it, would obey these directions J

IN calling the attention of the public to this val

constituent is phosphoric acid, or bsne phosphate

with other GUANOS ofits kind, may be easily de-
termined by tho amount of phosphoric acid or bone

WHAT A SHARK IS LIKE.

A word or two upon the organization and
natural history of this fnny omnivore. We
wish that you could study his shape and
make, and the build of his brethren, IN our
national museum and, if Professor Owen
had room enough, we doubt not that you
would. But we have no Sale des Requins
here as they have at Padua.
Imagine, than, an oblong body, lessening
toward the tail, the back rather broad and
on it a lofty fin. The highly developed and
subarcuate .pectorals form pair OF most pow
erful oars, which, with a tail Of prodigious
activity and strength, drive the living sub
marine Internal machine through the yield
ing deep with irt esistible force and swiftness.
Though the skin is rough, it is we'll lubricat-
ed, especially about the head. which is to
meet the resistance of the surrounding me-
dunn. The axis which principally supports
all the powerful muscular development and
the soft parts, is the most mobile of grist-
ly spines, and model Of lightness and
strength. Below the upper part Of the head
lies the barathrum of a mouth, garnished, IN
full grown individuals, with six rows OF ser
rated triangular teeth whittier than ivory, not
immovably implanted in the jaw, but capa-.
BILE of erection and depression, at the Will OF
the animal, by the strong muscle in which
their base il embedded This is the deadly
apparatus of the upper jaw, and formed tor
rending. In the lower jaw the teeth are point
ed, capable of erection and depression In
similar manner, and for holding. Well may
Cuvier call this compound instrument of des-
truction, "arme terrible, qui EN- fat letroi
DIES navigateurs" The shark, like the clip
per which he follows, is all made for going
and destruction, and can with ease sport
round the ship at whatever rate she is carry
ing on. The teeth of old, and down to u late
period, were considered as amulets, and, set
in silver under the name Of serpents' teeth,
were suspended by fond mothers round the
necks of their children as help in their
teething and prophylaotic against childish
terrors. When l9vigated, these teeth were
considered to make an invaluable dentrihce,
upon the principle, we suppose. that what WAS
white in itself must produce wilderness,
Twenty-six, thirty, and even forty feet, we
are told, have been measured along white
shark from the tip of the nose to the end OF
the tail, and the size of the teeth Of such
fish is well known. But such u specimen
would be considered very remarkable in our
day; it would shrink in comparison, to COM
mon dog-6sh, when placed by the side ct one
of the largest fossil true sharks, ii we could
by chance, call up one in his habit as he liv-
ed. The relative proportions have been cal
culated as 543:2I, the two last figures repre-
sentino the bulk of the recent fish.
