sugar-Its Microscopic Wonders.

Last night we saw the hidden wonders oil
raw sugar as they were revealed to US by a
microscope of uncommon power and great
detective ability, which will forever set US
against all sweets in that form with an inten-
sity of horror, such as no man can conceive
who has not been behind the scenes. We
saw the living hell itself in less than IA quar-
ter of an ounce of raw sugar. There were
nyriads, apparently, of horrible insests as
large as beetles, and having the appearance
of crabs. Four dreadful legs with claw
pincers at the end of them, jointed in four
parts as with armor, and bristling with
sharp-pointed spears, were in front of the
monster, and his head was long pyramidal
form in two JOINTS with finger tips at the
terminus where the mouth ought to have
been. The body was oval shaped, and
marked almost exactly like that Of crab,
only uppn the rims of an inner circle upon
the back there were twelve more of those
long sharp spears, with two at the tail. and
four snake.like tentacula, exceedingly fine
in articulation, and no doubt intended like
puss's whiskers TO be feelers, to warn the
hinder end parts of contiguous danger. The
reverse side showed the ugliness of the beast
even more than the diverse, butt also show
ed the wondrous mechanical genius of the
maker of it. Each limb was padded by a
mass of muscle at the base, which gave the
impression of immense (relative) power, and
over the muscle there was a Case OF armor
through which it showed.
Talk about lively beasts, and lively they
were. Eager, restless, ravenous; always
falling foul Of each other, or alta ;king great
joints of sugar, as large in reality a math
en,atical point With the pincers attached
to the end of the proboscs, they caught
bold of one another, and tore one another,
repeating in their small way the enormous
tragedies of TennysOn's primal monsters.
The way these marves came to light was
this: A spoonful of raw, coarse sugar was
dissolved 10 about three times the quantity
of water, when, as the conjuror's rod, the
animalcues sprang to the surface and floated
there, swimming about and up and down
like the beasts that wigsle in soft water tubs,
and finally turn into flies resembling mos
quitoes, but harmless These sugar animal
cules, or dcdrus SacchGri, as the scientific
men call them, were then gathered up in
spoon and put under a glass magniGying
about 200 times. They could be seen, how
ever, with the naked eye to begin with, but
not in their entire hdeousness until the
object glass brought it out. Ii has been
proved that IN every pound OF unrefned, raw
sugar, there are 100, 900 Of these acari. In
fifteen grains weight. DR.. Hassali, of London
found 100 of these insects; and DR.. Barker
of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland
found |, 400 in forty-fve grains weight, o
2jS 900 in a pound. Worse still, as mat.
ter of aesthetics, this is the very same insect
that bores into the skin of its victims in
Scotch beds, and treats them to a taste of the
- Scotch fiddle" alias the itch.-N Y. San.

SHOULD ORCHARDS BE PLoEED?-The most
plausible argument that can be advanced
against the practice of blowing the ground
around fruit trees OF any kind, is the fact
that query tree will send out system of
coronal roots just beneath the surface of the
SOIL, which will again throw out branch root
let's IN horizontal direction, all of which
will continue to multiply until the entire
surface OF the ground is completely occupied
with open mouths of hungry rootlets, ready
to drink in the first supply of nourishment
that is dissolved by the falling showers. II
is as much a legitimate habit of a fruit tree
to provide close network of roots, near the
surface of the ground, as it is to send other
roots downward into the earth. Every fruit
tree, most decIdlous, ornamental and timber
trees, as well as esergreens of all kinds.
when growing on dry upland, will send down
a long taproot, for the purpose of reaching
moisture, to supply the growing branches
during dry period in the growing season.
Let the taproo: be removed, and the tree will
make bat slow growth, because its habits
have been interiered with. The same is
true touching the upper system of coronal
or secondary roots. near the surfacee of the
ground. These are what are properly called
the feeders of the parent stem. They should
not be mutiated nor removed, as they usually
are cut off and torn away by the plw. All
vegetation should be kept down around fruit
trees as far from the body as the extremity
OF the longest branches, by hoeing the sur
iace over frequently, or by the application of
lew inches in depth of mulch. Fruit trees
may Dear well when every coronal root has
oeen removed with the plow, but if those
iuo'S h" uao not BEEN removed, the crop would
have been more abundant.

\ WONDER OF NATURE.-Colonel A.
S Evans, writing from Treasure City 10Th
instant, to the Alta, tells the following:
From John NJ. Murphy, Esq, Recorder
Of the Patterson District, [ obtain some
very interesting facts in regard to the rival
of kentucky's great natural wonder, the
Mammoth Cave of Nevada This cave is
situated in spur of the Buckskin or White
Mountain Range, and about twenty miles
this side OF Patterson, or fifty miles from
Treasury City. The entrance is on the
south side of an isolated butte or hiacacho
and near its base The opening is so low
that man must stoop TO enter it, but
twenty feet in the vault in the limestone,
it wldens rapidly, turning towards the east,
aud you pass through chamber after cham
Der of immense proportions, some of them
of such vast hight that the light of the
torches fails to show any sign of roof
Mr.. Murphy, with party, penetrated 5000
feet from the entrance-nearly mile
and found no end. They saw many cham
bers in which immense tongues of lime
stone hung from the roof, in places almost
touching the floor, and in others stalactites
and stalagmites abounded, as in the Nam
moth Cave of Kentucky. They found
traces of burnt sage brush, showing that
the Indians had been there as far as they
went; and the guileless sons of the soil
told them that they had penetrated five
days journey into the cavern, found lake
full of fish, and yet saw no end to the
succession of lofty chambers stretching out
before them. Lo was always very poor
Indian and given to lying. Mr.. Murphy
party got out of material for torches, lost
their way and were glad enough to grope
their way back as best they might, not
caring to make second attempt to fathom
the mysteries deep hidden in the bosom Of
the mountains. A hotel is to be built
there, and it is thought that the cave will,
in time, become great place of resort.
