aInterinIs in their Invisible state. \.

If a piece of silver be put into nitric
acid clear and colorless liquid, it is
rapidly dissolved and vanishes from the
sight The solution of silver may be mixed
with water, and to appearance no effect
whatever is produced. Thus, in pail of
water we may dissolve and render invisi-
BILE more than ten pounds worth of silver,
lead and iron; but every other metal can
be treated in the same way, with similar
results. When charcoal is burned, when
candles are burned, when paper is burned,
these substances all disappear and become
invisible Matter which, in one condition,
is perfectly Opaque, and will not admit the
least ray of light to pass through it, WILL
in another form, become quite transparent.
The cause of this wonderful effect of the
condition of matter is utterly inexplain-
able.
Philosophers do not even broach theories
upon the subject, much less do they en-
deavor to explain it. The substances dis
solved in water or burned in the air are
not, however, destroyed or lost. By certain
well-known means they can be recovered
and again be rendered visible; some ex-
actly in the same state as they were before
their invisibility others, though not in the
same state, can be shown in their element
airy condition; and thus it can be proved
that, having once existed, it never ceases
to exist, although it can change its condi-
ton like the caterpillar, which becomes a
chrysalis, and then gorgeous butterfly.
If a pailful of solution of silver be cast
into the stream, it is apparently lost by its
dispersion in the water; but it nevertheless
continues to exist. So, when a bushel of
charcoal is burned in stove, it disappears,
in consequence of the gas produced being
mixed with the vast atmosphere; but yet
the charcoal is still in the air. On the
brightest and sunniest day, when every
object can be distinctly seen above the
horizon, hundreds of tuns Of charcoal, in
an invisible condition, pervade the air.
Glass is beautiful illustration of the
transparency of compound, which, in
truth, is nothing but mixture of the rust
of three metals This power of matter to
change its conditions from solid opacity to
hmpid transparency, causes some rather
puzzling phenomena. Substances increase
in weight without any apparent cause; for
instance, q plant goes on increasing in
weight hundred fold for every atom that
is missing from the earth in which it is
growing. Now, the simple explanation of
this is, that leaves of plants have the
power of Withdrawing the invisible char
coal from the atmosphere, and restoring it
to its visible state, in some shape or other.
The lungs of animals and q smokeless
furnace change matter from its visible TO
invisible state. The gills of fishes and the
leaves Of plants reverse this operation,
rendering invisible or gaseous matter visi-
Bile. Thus the balance in nature is main
tanned, although the continual change has
been going on long prior to the creation of
the "extinct animals,

EXPERIMENT IN GROWING CoTToN AT PHILA-
DELPHIA.- The Philadelphia Inquirer de-
scribes the experiments of H. Barton Jenks
of that city, in the cultivation of cotton,
On the 23d of March last two thousand FIVE
hundred pots (three-inch earthen flower
pots) were prepared and filled with com.
post consisting of three parts of vegetable
mould and one part of woodland leaf mould.
Three cotton seeds were then placed in each
pot, in the ordinary method of potting. On
the 26th of the month they were ranged in
steps in hot house, and subjected to mean
temperature of probably seventy.fi five de-
grees. The first evidences of termination
appeared on the 3lst of the month, since
which time the progress has, in every respect,
been highly satisfactory.
On Saturday, the llth Of May, second
planting took place, and some of the stems
have already reached hight of three inches,
while the leaves are round and thriving.
An acre of open ground will be ploughed
and the seedlings transplanted, under the
careful supervision of Mr. Jenks's chief
gradener, Mr.. McHale, who has taken an
abiding interest in the novel enterprise.
The experiment of Mr.. jerks 1--WE can
scarcely call it an experiment now, after
what has been accomplished has demon
strated that we can, in all probability, raise
our own cotton, as the Investigations of Low
ering and others have shown that we can
grow our own sugar, even in the temperate
latitude of Pennsylvania. Surely such a
demonstration should at least awaken the at
tention Of our agricultural societies.

Anecdote Of tho Late Dr. Murray.
A writer in tho New York Observsr re-
iates the following Of the late DR.. Murray,
alias "Kirwan;" ..ttE
DR.. Murray pursued his collegiate course
at Williamstown, during the presidency. Of
that acute and accomplished critic, Rev.
DR.. Griffin In his fourth year he was
brought into more Immediate contact with
the venerable President whose duty was
to examine and criicise the written exer-'
cises Of the graduating class. DR.. Murray,
when a young man, and even down to the
day Of his last illness, wrote q free, round
and beautiful hand-and his exercise at
this time, which was to undergo the
scrutiny Of his venerable preceptor, had
been prepared with uncommon neatness
and accuracy. DR.. Griffin was accustomed
to use quill pen, With very broad nib.
Introduced into his august presence,
young Murray, with becoming difidence,
presented his elegantly written piece for
the ordeal. The discerning eye of the
President passed quickly over the first
sentence, and with a benignant look, he
turned to his pupil, and said in his peculiar
way:
dMurroy-what do you mean by this
first sentence p ....
Murray answered blushingly, II mean
so and so, SIR
"Then say so, Murray, and at the
same time drew his heavy Pen through liue
after line striking out about one-third Of
it.
Having carefully read the next sentence,
the venerable critic inquired;
"Murray-what do you mean by this?"
He tremblingly replied, "Doctor, l mean
so and so.n
"Please just to say so" again striking
out one half Of the beautifully written
page.
In this way, with broad nib, which
made no mean mark, he proceeded to de-
face the nice clean paper of the young col
legian, so that at the close of the exercises,
the erasures nearly equaled all that re-
mained of the carefully-prepared manu-
script.
This trying scene was not lost upon
! young Murray. He considered it one OF
the important events Of his college course.
| 1t taught him to think and write concisely;
and when he had any thing to say, to say
it in o simple, direct and intelligent man.
ner.
Indeed, much that distinguished him as
one of our most vigorous and pointed
writers, may be attributed to that early
lesson, "Say so, Murray"

A OBce. Famous Beauty Her "Eceen-
IricIIfeso -


An Eastern editor observes;
Lady Bessington is better known in this
country than almost any other woman Of
title in the old country. She died, at Paris,
at the somewhat mature age of sixty-two,
Yet is generally supposed, by those who only
krOw her by description, to have been then,
and always, in the bloom of youth and
Ssanty. The last time we saw her was in
one Of the boxes Of Her Msjesty's Theater,
in London, when Jennie Lind was playing
Amina," in La SORnam6ula. A country
cousin, WEo was with us asked; who is
that stout, highly -rouged, and oVer-dressed
old lady2H AS there were very many in
the house 10 whom this too-truthful descrip-
tion was applicable, we we're unable to
reply. But our fair inquirer spotted her by
adding "There next the pillar. That fat
old dOWager with the enormous turban, and,
it is 80 odd, brides of fine lace, just like
Nhiskers, hanging down by the side Of her
vibrating cheeks
The saucy young lady paused for reply,
like 'sBFutusp in the play, and was very
much astoDished when she learned that the
object Of her curiosity was--Lady Blessing
toni She had lived like other people, in the
delnsl0n that the Countess OF Biessington

SINGULAR ExPERIMENT.-Take round
piece of pGsteboard and insert it in
quill open at both ends, and lay this on an
other piece of pasteboard of the same
shape, in which is stuck pin, so that the
pin will enter the quill. Blow through
the quill as hard as you may, but the
lower piece can not be blown off.
A common spool, such as is used for sew
ing cotton, forms a suitable apparatus for
trying this wonderful experiment. Take
bit of smooth writing paper little larger
than the head of the spool, and run pin
through the paper and into the bore of the
spool. Now, by blowing down it will be
found impossible to blow the paper off.
By observing closely, it will be seen that
the paper does not quite touch the head of
the spool. 1t is of course, necessary to
hold the paper up with the hand until you
begin to blow. ..-
The explanation is this: When currents
of air are established, radiating from the
central tube horizontally between the disk
and the paper, the greater area Of the disk
as compared with that Of the tube causes
the air above the paper to be rari6ed, when
the pressure of the air below, not being
counterbalanced, holds the paper up. The
pin acts as an anchor to prevent the paper
from being blown away horizontally.

NATURE AND ART.-Henry Ward Beecher
has this illustrator; have seen exposed in
a jewelers. window presents which were
given by princes to their fayorites neck
laces glittering with exquisite pearls;
wristlets glowing with the strange shooting
fires of the opal, surrounded by diamonds
as sentinel witnesses of its splendor rings
in great profusion; various ornaments for
the hair; and nameless other articles of the
toilef-which were registered with incredi-
BILE value.
But after all, The poorest man that walks
in the sunlight, is a casket carrying jew
els Of more variety and more value, ten
million times over, than the most prineely
casket ever contained, or than regal mu-
nifcence ever squandered on a worthless
favorite. Call men mere animals, look at
them simply as beasts, and there is not a
man living who does not carry in him that
which is more wonderful than anything
that mortals ever produced. The human
frame, all its economies, its many relations
to health and activity and usefulness; these,
though not as important as mans soul, and
its connections with moral laws and duties,
nevertheless not unimportant, ought not to
be thought of lightly, and can not belet go
in any true determination"
