Leyecs Asserted III Isc WORSE fllah
Fir Siaax.s

From ihe BE: Louis Rspnbiicii:3
= II Is we'll known that dykes and emhank-
mcBts were long ago constructed afofig fiiany
miles of the lower Mississippi river to nain-
tain that division between the land and water
requisite for pleasant and profitable agricul-
turc. The tickle river was thus kept in its
bed and thousands OF acres Of rich lands
were guarded from its periodical encroacil-
ments. Since the war these leyees have not
been kept in repair, for want of interest and
means, and much loss to agriculture has been
the consequence. In view of the PROPOSE
ton before Congress contemplating the eX-
penditure of some $35, 100000 in construct
ing "leyees" from Cairo to the Gulf, on both
sides of the river, some of the southern
papers declare that the levecs are cumber-
some contrivapces at best, and Of no practi-
cal use.
In support Of this announcement they say
that the cmlankments tend only to raise the
bottom Of the river, and that the Government
might go on building them eternally to con-
stantly rising river until the highest natural
bluffs become lowlands. If experience in
lcyee-building has 80 far shown this to be a
fact, it does seem as il some other plan ought
to be adopted to effect the pltpose intended.
1t would not do to elevate the river upoti q
4
some time, and then the impetuous torrent
would have its own way in the end. It is
suggested that instead of embellishments built
with the frlIitless purpose of preventing the
natural flow of water. the natural facilities
for its passage ought to be increased. This,
it is argued, can be done by system of ca
nails, connecting the various rivers and natll-
raj intcrcourScs with the Gulf.
These would carry off the surplus waters,
and at the same time form new arteries of
commerce into the whole interior cotton re-
gions of the South. Floods would be inn
possible, and the means OF agriculture would
be infinitely increased. The diffusion Of
water surfaces thus caused would also be
great benefit to the quality and quantity Of
produce taking one year with another The
facilities of transportation would also be in
tinitcly augmented. and Caual-boats propcl-
led by steam, it is supposed, would do the
great burden of tho carrying twice as cheap
as either railroads or steamboats, are HOW
doing it. This would bc Il magnificent sys-
TEN Of canals if it could be put in operation
as proposed. and would doubtless work II
revolution in the commerce OF the MissiS-
sppi Valley, if not Of the world.

A curious and perhaps important dis
corcry has been made recently by nj. klet-
zilsky, IL Niennesc professor. Noticing that
persons sick with the smallpox were often
visited by flies, he placed near an open
window Of the hospital a saucer filled with
glycel.ine. Soon the flies gathered, and were
caught like birds with glue. In their en-
lcavors TO free themselves, all the foreign
matter which had adhered to them was left
in the glycerine, which was at once sub
mincd TO the action of microscope. 1t
was found that this substance, which was
chemically pure when offered to the flies,
was full of strange cells very like those seen
on persons attacked by the smallpox, but
never on flies. THIS discovery proves con-
clusiyely that these ftlIusticll insects arc
not only filthy, but can be very dangerous
means Of spreading contagious diseases.
The horse ears OH Atlantic and Fifth
avenues, New. York, have each been provided
with copy OF the city directory, placed on
u shelf near the door, and ssesired by small

SnontancOuS Combustion.

Some months since wcll-known druggist
of Detroit made Il nllpbrr of experiments to
test the value Of tho nlk about spontaneous
combustion, and obsaiiUd s0liic rather start
ling results. lie first took Il piece of rotton
cloth, the threadMrc rClllialit Of an old
sheet. and smeared it over with boiled lin
seed oil. An old chest was then placed i'll
the loft of storcroom back Of the drug store,
a piece of zinc put over it, another under
If. and then the chest was filled with paper
and rags. with the oiled cloth in the centre.
Although the loft was dark and the weather
cold, yet in eight days there was such 4
smell of fire about the trunk. and the
prospects of conilagration seemed so
strong, that the contents were emptled.
An examination showed that the fibre
of the oiled cloth had UNFINISHED and
shriyellcd up, and that the rag looked rs
though it had been held too near fire. In
April, when the suns rays, beating upon the
roof. had raised the temperature of the loft
an old pair of painters ovcralls. saturated
and plaStered with paint, were rolled up. Il
handful of pine shavings placed inside. and
the whole crowded in next to the rooi-boards
A week aftcrwartl, one warm afternoon. an
artisan in the next room was alarmed by i
smell of fire, and going to the loft found thu
ovel7,lls in flames; and so tinder-likc had the
cloth become that it had to be crowded into
a pail Of waller to prevent total destrlc'
ton. During the hot weather OF Au'
gust Il handful of old cotton rags, ell
tirely free FROM oil, was placed i'll d
tin box with Il couple OF matches i'll the cen
tire. The box was then hung mp in the lott
in such position that the afternoon sun
would shine through rear window directly
upon it. Toward the close OF the fourth day
the druggist examined his box, ana as he
lifted the lid the contents flew all over him
in puff of black cindcrs. Having the fear
of the insurance company before lis eyes,
the cxperimcntcr removed the doomcdtrlmk
to brick wood. house, in vacant corner 81
which he so arranged it that no contlaSratloI
could arise. He then filled the trunk with
the contents of the paper rag-hag, and having
smeared piece with benzine, threw it IN
and closed the trunk. a few days aitcrWard
on going to the shed, lie found the place va
can't, whilst the scattered ashes and the bricks
deeply stained with smoke told the story.

When there is Il long dry and hot spell of
weather, as there was in June, science tells us
that it is owing to the scarcity of trees, and
prophcsles Woful things in the future, when
the hills have been denuded of the forests
and the valleys all opened to cultivation.
viii science give us an equally satisfactory
reason for the plenteous rains of July? 1t
rains so easy 1t only needs the slightest
encouragement, seemingly, for the big black
clouds to come rolling up and for the rains
to descend. And when it does rain it pourS.

BEEcHER's New CHURCH PROJECT AT Ell
MIRA.-A remarkable Instance of the power
of church organizations is the manner in
which the funds for q new church at Elmila
have been raised, under the auspices and from
the suggestion of the Rev. Thomas Il.
Beecher. Circulars were printed, with blank
spaces to be filled by any such sums as the
giver might wish, but in such manner that
no one could know the sum subscribed by
his neighbor. These circulars were not dis
tributed, but only made accessible TO all
about a year ago last April; and when the
returns came to be examined short time
ago twas found the subscriptions actually
went beyond the amount TINT was needed.
