THE LAW or ADVANCE AND DECLINE IN
THE FERTILITY or SOILS.

An attempt has been made to belittle
the law Of the increase and decline Of soils
in fertility, as discovered and explained by
Henry G. Carey, by representing Mr.
Carey's doctrine to be that farming lands
at great distance from the consumers of
their products decline in fertility only be
cause the nutritive properties Of the crops
exported from them are conveyed to dis
tant parts of the world and are not re-
turned to the soils on which they were
raised Were this all, or the chief part Of
Mr. Carey's statement, there would be
abundant evidence Of the importance and
truth embodied even in this partial and
imperfect presentation Of il. Professor
Henry, the eminent Secretary Of the Smith
Sonian Institute, has estimated that
there was more wealth invested in our soil
in ferulizing matter at the moment this con-
tinent was discovered by Columbus, than
there is at present above the surface in i'm
provements and all other investments.
The fertility which ages had accumulated
upon its surface has been the capital upon
which the farmer has been drawing with
reckless prodigality from the first settle.
ment Of the country"
All are familiar with the wastefulness Of
the chief part Of Southern agriculture.
Deserted houses, standing in the midst Of
exhausted plantations, which were once
fertile, tell the story too plainly for contra
liction. But it has been customary to at
tribute this to slavery. Instead Of this,
both it and slavery itself should have been
attributed to the fact that the only industry
1ractiscd was the export Of the soil, in the .
orm of cotton, molasses and tobacco. This,
y keeping the country constantly burden
ID by an increasing poverty and debt, COM
'ellcd the enslavement Of the laborcr,

The DRIVEN WELL.-The American
tube we'll which has met with so much "a
vor abroad, especially in the Abyssinian ex-
petition, has received some notifications at
the hands of foreign inventors. Among
the latest Of these is that devised by Mr..
Clark, of Cheapside, London. and which
be describes as consisting in forming the
bottom end of tube well open instead Of
closed God in 6ttlDy into tho bottom and
opeu end of thaJ tribe which frst enjeI. The

about two feet, is formed cylindrical, SO
as to fit easily within he As't16e tube, but perfect
y close IN the lower end thereof, to pre-
vent debris passing up to the tube between
the aforesaid plug. The aforesaid plug,
which is about six feet long, is formed Ia
pering downwards from its diameter to a
sharp point, and to this plug he connects
rods as the sinking Of the tube progresses.
CALIFORNIA QUIcKsILvER.-The total
annual supply Of quicksilver from Califor-
MIA is not far from $4,000 TASKS, or about
5000, 900 pounds This is used in metal
lurgy, manufacturing, and art processes.
The largest quantity is used by the gold
miners in the amalgamating process at the
various mines. A considerable amount is
used by manufacturing chemists in prepar-
ing calomel, "blue PILL" mercurial ONT
ment, and various mercurial salts and
plasters. The Chinese make from quick
silver that beautiful pigment vermiliOn
which is 50 largely employed BY painters
and colorers in all parts Of the world. 1t is
singular that this halfcivilzed people are
able to prepare chemical compound from
quicksilver which is superior to, and which
commands a higher price than the same
salt produced in Europe and the United
States, where the arts are carried to the
highest perfection. English and American
vermilliOn, as found in the market, is far
inferior in brilliancy and quality to the
Chinese.
