Influence of Trees on Climate.

The subject of the influence of
"foresting," or the planting of trees,
upon the climate of country, and of
"defores ting" or destroying the for
est growth, continues to excite much
interest throughout the world, as it
is now we'll established that the cli-
mate Of many localities has been ma
terially altered by one or the other
OF these processes. Systematic eff
forts have been made, in different
parts of the world, for introducing a
growth of trees where these had eli
Their disappeared or had never been
known, from which important results
have followed in many instances.
We have before referred to the effect
upon the climate Of India of planting
extensive forests of different species
and we are informed that, as the con-
sequence of u similar experiment,
Egypt, which formerly had only
about six rainy days every year,
since being replanted on a large
scale, has already attained to twenty
four. Among the enlightened meas
ures of the administration of the
French government, one which is es-
pecially noteworthy is that of plant
ing immense tracts of land in Algiers,
especially with Australian trees
namely, the Acacid molliSima and Ace
cia l0pdntha. Plantations Of these
trers, started a few years ago, have
attained height from nine TO twelve
feet, aud in their rapid grewth and
great extent have already changed
the climate very much--twice as
much rain and dew falling in the
neighborhood as before. Under the
same auspices, sixteen square miles
of the swampy, unhealthy country
along the coast Of the Bay of Biscay,
in the department Of the Landes,
was planted with millions Of trees
especially the cork oak and swamp
pine-with surprisingly beneficial re-
suits the trees having drained the
land so as to destroy the swamp fe-
vers, and to change it into healthy
country with pine forests. Bacay
law requires that for every tree cut
down two shall be planted, and it is
said to be executed with rigorous Sc
verify. Harper's Magazine FER June.

How to Raise Watermelons.

AS | am very successful raising
watermelons, thought | would send
my plan The piece of ground you
intend to plant, prepare well early in
the spring, by blowing deep the 1st
of May lay off four hills eight feet
apart each way, dig out holes two
feet deep, two feet square; in each
hole put halfpeck fhog-pen manure,
and table spoonful Of salt mix
well with hoe, adding; soil until you
get the hole full up TO three inches
from the surface, then draw on light
loose dirt until you get it level do
not elevate it, for by so doing you
cause them 30 die out when summer
comes draw your hoe around to
form furrow plant half q dozen
seeds in hill-soon as up, thin out
to four; second hoeing thin out to
two. Continue to hoe them every
four or five days, and just before the
vines start to run, side with pillow,
first one way, then the other-I
mean cross~plowiug. Ia about ton
days give another blowing and hoe
ing. Continue TO keep the ground
loose just as long as you can 60 so
without injuring the vines, for in no
case should they be moved. Drive
little sticks across the vines thus: Y
to keep the wind from blowing them.

FACTS about Butter and Milk.

Butter contains two kinds of fat.
II melted at 1902 f., an oil is obtained
nearly colorless, and which becomes
solid on cooling. If this is put into a
strong press at 600 f., a pure liquid
oil IS expressed, and there remains a
solid white fat.
Ihere are three to five pounds OF
butter in every 100 pounds of milk.
1t exists In the form of small globules
through the milk, which are envelop
ed IN oasein or curd. They are q
little lighter than the milk, and rise
to the surface, forming cream. There
Is in milk about the same proportion
in weight of casein or curd, from
which cheese is made. This is a
nitrogenous body, like the gluten of
wheel, alhumen Of the egg, animal
muscle, etc. IL is separated from
the whey Of milk by rennet. 1t is
this casein which is sometimes left in
butter, in the buttermilk, which
casein gives the rancid, offencivo odor
and taste TO the butter.
10 every 100 pounds Of milk, there
are four or five pounds Of mix sugar,
which usually goes into whey, and is
the chief nourishing property OF this
portion of the milk. In Switzerland
it is separated from the whey and
used as food
In every 100 pounds of milk, there
is about half a pound of ash, or min
eral matter, which consists largely
Of phosphate of lime, chloride Of pot
ash, common salt, etc.

Vs. Here is a novelty of architect
ure. The managers of the West
Laurel Hill Cemetery. Philadelphia,
have built a movable chapel to pro-
tect those attending funerals from
the rain during the services at the
grave. 1t will accommodate seventy
five mourners and is taken from
place to place, we suppose, upon
wheels. / will also be q protection
against excessive heat. If the idea
is an odd, it strikes us as decidedly a
sensible one. There isno reason why,
because one person has died of bad
cold, half a dozen persons should
take cold in mourning for him; and
bereavement should be made as COM
Portable as possible.

CONVICTION OF AN INcEND1ARf.

AURORA, A~ugnsttfl, 1871.
EDITOR REGIsTER,: Your readers
will remember that one James Rhodes
was arrested last May at Pine Grove,
charged with the burning ofiKeen's
| Mill at Rockl3rd. The committing
magistrate at Pine'Grove then bound
him in the sum of five thousand dol
lars to appear before the Grand Jury,
and in default of bail he was sent to
the county Jail It Aurora, where he
has remained ince. On the 18th OF
July he was indicted by the Grand
Jury of the crime of arson in the sec
ond degree, and his trial vas set by
Judge Seawell for the 9th of August.
On the appointed time, Judge Seawell
on the bench, a trial jury was impan-
neled and bis case tried. The District
Attorney, J. L.. Greedy, and Judge
Wells of Carson appeared for the pro-
secution on behalf of the State, and
Judge McClinton and Boring appear
ed for the defense on behalf of Rhodes
All the evidence on the part of the
State was circumstantial : but an all
81 tficicient, continued and unbroken
chain OF it, pointed to Rhodes, unmis-
takably and conclusively, As the per-
son guilty of the crime charged in the
Indictment. And even by Rhodes own
testimony being all the evidence that
was produced for the defense), it could
be clearly seen that he was the guilty
party. This left McCIinton and Bor-
ing "a very small foundation on which
to predicate an argument tor the de
tense, and the burden of thei
song" was to give the prisoner the
benefit OF any reasonable doubt y
that might exist in the minds OF the
Ijurvmen. But Judge Wells, having
a better foundation TO build on, soon
overturned their little super>tructure,
and reared a majestic monument oi
mastery argument i'll behalf OF the
State-So exhaustive and conclusive.
that the jury after receiving their in
structions from Judge Seaweli were
only out about fifteen minutes when
they returned with a verdict OF guilty.
The jury was dismissed twenty nm
uteS after twelve last night. Judge
Seawell will pronounce Judgment on
| Rhodes next Monday at > o'clock p.
M, SO you may expect to see Rhodes
at Carson, where he will be IA guest at
the State Boarding House tor at least
ten years. This Is the first case that
has been convicted i'll EsIneraida
