CURIoslTIEs OF THE EARTH.-At
the city of Modena, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, when
ever the earth is dug, when the
workmen arrive at a distance OF
about sixty feet they come to a bed
of chalk, which they bore with an
auger five feet deep. They then
withdraw from the pit before the
auger is removed, and, upon the
extraction, the water bursts up
through the aperture with great
violence, and quickly fills the new
ly made well, which continues full,
and is affected neither by rain nor
drought.
But what is most remarkable in
this operation is the layers of earth
as we descend. At depth of four
teen feet are found the ruins of an
ancient city-paved streets, houses,
floors, and different pieces of mosa.
ic work. Under this is found q soft,
oozy earth, made up of vegetables;
and at twenty'six feet, largo trees
entire, such as walnut trees, with
the walnuts still sticking on the
stem, and the leaves and branches
in perfect state Of preservation.
AT twenty-eight feet deep soft
chalk is found, mixed with vast
quantity of shells, and bed is eleven
feet thick. Under this, vegetation
is found.

A FoRTUNATUS' CAp.-Somewhere
about the year 1880, SO runs the
tale, a travelling millwright, in
those days the kings of mechanics;
footsore, and with the broadcast
northern Doric accent, stopped at
Soho, a locality once indicative of
field sports, but then the engine
factory of Boulton & Watt, and
asked for work. His aspect was
little better than that of 'beggary
and poor looks" and Mr.. Boulton
bado him God speed to some other
workshop, when, as he was turning
away sorrowfully, Mr.. Boulton sud-
denly called him back. "What
kind Of hats yon ye have on your
head my man?' It's just thinner,
sir" Climber, my man, let's look
at it. Where did you get it?" "I
just made it, sir,my ainsel !" GLOW
did you make it?' 81 just turned
it on the althie." 'But it's oval,
mani and lathe turns things
?" "Awoel, 1 just gard the
lathe gang anithor gate to please
me. I'd a long journey aforc me,
an L thocht I'd have a hat to keep
out water, and | had ma muckle sill
Ter to spare, and | just made ane."
BY this inborn mechanism the man
had invented the oval lathe, and
made his hat, and the hat made
his fortune. Mr.. Boulton was not
the man to lose so valuable a help,
CT, at least in those days when good
men were scarce, and so the after
famous William Murdoch took suit
and serve under Boulton g. Watt,
and 1884 made the first wheeled vc-
hiclo lmpeIled by steam in this
England Of ours-made it with the
very hands and brain cunning that
had before produced the "timmer
hat" Out of that seed, after 73
years of sowing aad reaping its
produce, a goodly crop has sprung
mp, that, like the grain Of mustard
seed, roplenishes the civilized earth,
and will yet civilize the uncivili,
