The SANITARY FAIR.-The halls OF the
building to be occupied by the Sanitary
Fair are rapidly approaching completion,
and there is now no doubt but that they
will all be ready by Tuesday next, the day
appointed for the opening Of the Fair. -
We yesterday afternoon dropped into
the building, and were pleased to see that
the call for young ladies and gentlemen to
trim the halls had been SO nobly responded
to. The hall allotted to church booths was
filled with fair specimens Of Young Ameri.

pairing for the decoration. e
The press generally speak in glowing
terms of the Fair, and we shall not be sur
prised to see the city filled with strangers
next week. Ample prepsrations' are being
made by our hotel keepers, and no person
need stay away through apprehensions of
not obtaining accommodations.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT WATER.

The extent to which water mingles with
bodies apparently the most solid is very
wonderful. The glittering opal, which
beauty wears az an ornament is only flint
and water. OF every 1900 tons cf earth
which lanhholder has in his estate, 400
are water. The snow capped SUBMITS Of
Snowdon and Ben Nevis have many nil
lion tons of water in soliiifi,d form. In
every plaster-of Paris statue which an
Italian carries through our streets for salr
ihesc is one POUND of water to every four
pounds Of chalk.
The air We breathe contains five grains
"fwater to each cubic foot of its bulk. The
potatoes and the turnips which are boiled
FOR our dinner, have, in their raw state,
the cne IS per cent, the other 90 Der cent.
of water. If man weighing ten stone
were squeezed fat in a hydraulic press.
seven aud a half stone of water would run
out, and only two and half of dry residue
remain. A man is. chemically speaking
forty-6ve pounds Of carbon and nitrogen
diffussed through i've and half pailsful Of
water.
In piaLts We find water thus mingling no
less wonderfully. A suLAowcr evaportes
one and quarter pints Of water a day,
and cabbage about the same quantity
A wheat plant exhales in 172 days, about
lOO., 90 grains of water An acre oi
growing wheat. on this calculation. draws
and passes out about ten tons of water per
DAY. The cap of plants is the medium
through which that mass uf fluid is con-
veyed. 1t forms delicate pump, up
which the watery particles run with the
rapidity of swift stream. By the action
OF the sap. various properties may be con,-
municated to the growing plant. Timber
in France is. for Instance. dyed by various
eolors being mixed with water. and poured
ever by the root of the tree. Dahlias are
also colored by similar process.
