Winds.

The great agent in causing currents Of air
or winds, on the surface Of the globe, is the
heat Of the sun. The air is not heated di.
rectly by the sun, or At least only in very
slight degree, for no transparent body will
become hot BY rays simply passing through
it. The glass Of . window remains quite
cool though transmitting the Rsrcest rays
Of the sun but il blackened on the inside,
so that the rays cannot pass through It, i'm
mediately becomes hot; similarly, the air
becomes heated principally by radiation
from the ground, and as In all fluids, whether
gaseous or liquid, the heated mass becoming
lighter by the expansion consequent on heat
ing, ascends. This method Of acquiring
heat throughout is called convection, since in
it the heated particles are conveyed from be-
low upwards. It belongs to all fluid bodies ;
for they being bad conductors Of heat would
require q great time 10 become heated
throughout, as solid bodies do by eO'tduetioH,
in which the particles Of matter do not
change their relative positiGn.
Suppose now that the sun shines on a
large tract Of land-for instance the Desert
Of Sahara; q vast volume Of air being thus
heated begins Immediately to ascend; vac
uum is consequently left; and air ffOm all
sides Immediately rushes in to fill this vacuum,
thus producing wind. This is beautifully
exempliiied In the case Of islands in the
midst Of the sea, as, for instance, the West
Indian Islands, where we find the wind every
day blowing from all sides toward the island,
thus constituting what is known as the sea-
breeze Of the day. The cause Of the wind
in such cases being directed toward the island
Is, that the heating and consequent ascent Of
the air takes place much more over land
than over water. rsf 'rE
But IL the surface Of land, receiving Q Ger
tain amount Of heat Is raised in tempera-
ture through five times as many degrees as
surface Of water Of the same extent would
be, il follows, % matter Of course, that in
losing certain amount Of heat, it falls in
temperature through Eve times as many dc.
grees as water does; there is, therefore, after
sunset, much greater condensation Of the
air over the land than there is over the
waters and the former, increasing indensity
very much In consequences, presses outward
toward tho 80 with considerable force; the
column Of dense air over the land being
lowered By thus flowing out over The sea,
hes its hight repaired in the upper regions
by air rowing in frOm the upper atnnosphers
over the sea 70 Gil the vacuum; this b con
densed, zinks down, and flows out 10 sea b
its turn; and thus We have the wind blow
ing continuously IN direction exactly ,th,

Timothy Meadows.

'11mothy grass is chiefly valuable for hay |;
and the meadows should never be pastured
yhile kept for moving. In the South and
West, timothy meadows are liable to great
injury, after the crop has been cut by expos.
Tn burning rays Of The sun 10 dry
weather; and the injury Is much increased
by allowing the aftermath to be cropt by
cattle anG Sorses; and the injury Is greater
in the climate alluded 10 than it is in the
cooler and more wet regions Of the country
where other grasses are more or less mixed
with the Timothy as natural products. The
roots of Timothy differ from the common
grasses that constitute our pastures. At the
base of each st,R,l there are numerous little
bulbs which lie near the surface Of tho
ground, which, when pastured BY stock, are
liable to be crushed beneath the animals
feet, and when the aftermath is eaten Of, the
and al, -and 20 the frosts Of winter when In
ordinary seasons the growth will not be
greater than Is required for the protection
Of the roots. All the pasturage afforded by
Tn10thy meadows Is not equal to one quar-.
tbf1he damage the succeeding hay crop sus.
tains by allowing stock 10 run over them.
Meadows that are never pastured will last
much I66eer than those that are pastured, b..
oaaSs The exposure Of the roots by cropping
the grass and poaching the surface Of the
ground not only kills out the Timothy, but
2her heing injured IN its growth and par
tally killed out, weeds and inferior grasses
come in and Increase the evil already sus-
tainod. n in Q favorable Gall the after.

General scott.

The World, in defending General Scott against
an attack made upon him by New York paper,
in which it was urged that the hero is thirty years
too old for the position he now holds, says
There could hardly be greater contrast than
that between the different styles OF conducting
the Crimean and the Mexican expeditions. Scott
landed his little army planted his batteries, and
EIGHT days aftcrward dispatched word to his gov
ernment that the FLAG of the United States iloated
in triumph over the castle of San Juan de Ulloa
the same wave girded and battle-scarred fort
rcss which in Europe, had been deemed another
Sehastopol He scaled the Cordilleras bore the
ca giles of his country in quick succession through
the streets of Jalapa, Perote and Puebla-wlth
$500 men swept through the so-called lmpract-
cable pass of Cerro Gordo, defended by l2,500
Mexicans-with the same number OF men defeat
ed $4,000 at Contreras and Cherubusco with
I. 100 men stormed Chepultepec, defended by
$1,000 with 5000 took the city OF Mexico, occu-
pied 10y 35, 900 troops lie did his work, ana ne
saved his soldiers neither of which was done by
Raglan He threw not a life away that could be
saved, and successfully used every possible means
to secure the health and comfort of his men.
Performing his campaign at the sckly season OF
the wear, penetrating into the very heart OF the
enemy's country, through crowded cities aud
over mountain activities, he yet subjected his
men to not one.enth of the suffering and lost not
one.teuth so many of them by disease as Raglan
did, though encamped all the while within six
miles of the sea- lie poured ont no blood for a
frnitless victory, like that of Alma; he onnihi-
lated no regiments of his own by a fatal order
like that of Balaklava; he invited no deadly
attack by neglect in tortfy ing his position, like
that of nkerman. He did not leave his soldiers
| to become tattered like savages. or famished like
dogs These things make difference, and 1t II
preposterous to try thunder against Scott simply
because thunder told against Raglan. We say
nothing now of the quality of the article used
the difference in the occasion for it is enough
1t is characteristic of General Scott to prepare
himself thoroughly for what he undertakes it
was because he was allowed by Secretary Marcy
to do this in his own way that the conquest ol
Mexico became a sure thing.
