If the dew fell, it would failfsr tie
same re4son that rain falls; but dew
does not fall, IL is simply a derest Of
moisture, always contained in tic air
to a greater or lesser degree. and
which, wien there is enough If it, will
always form on any cold baby exposed
to the moist air, in precisely the same
way that cold bottle or stone, taken
from o cold cellar. and suddenly cx-
posed in the shape to the moist, warm,
summer air, will become wet this is
not sweating, nor does this moisture
come out of the bottle or stone, as
many people believe, but from the air.
1t is for the same reason that moisture
will condcnse against the window pancs
when the air is cold outside aud moist
inside, the moisture slowly freezing
while its deposits form crystals Of ice.
which we 50 often admire in winter.
" hen the weather is cold enough, the
moisture deposited will even freeze on
plants and grass, and then we call it
hoar frost if it does not freeze, it is
simply dew. The only point left to be
explained i. why does tue. ground BE-
come 30 cool during the night; 50 much
cooler than the air above it, - to
cause the latter to deposit its moisture?
This was for many years a vexed prob
lem, till Wells first suggested the rad
iation Of obscure heat, which takes
place from the su, face Of the earth
through the clear atmosphere into the
space above, and 40 causes the surface
to become much cooler than the air
itself. He demonstrated this by means
Of the thermometers placed at different
heights, and also by the fact that dew
is only deposited on cloudl, IS nights.
When there are clouds, they reflect the
heat. or prevent it from escaping. The
surface Of the earth thus being kept
from cooling, no dew is deposited. ..-H

That GraVe.-The Corpse Pro-
duced.

nav OAoN hO OOA P5o ~
duced.
Mr.. JAMES WYcKoFF has pro
duced the corpse which occu-
pied the grave under his form
er residence. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. W. at first
denied all knowledge Of the
matter, but on last Friday he
told that the corpse was at his
house and that it was a child,
about year old, Of Mrs. Ellis
worth, as she styles herself,
better known as Miss Cunning
ham. We publish a communi-
cation elsewhere which pur-
ports to give an account of the
child's death, which, as to dates
at least, we presume is correct.
1t was re-buried last Monday
in the graveyard just east Of
town. quite a number of per-
sons attending. The coffin was
opened but nothing remained
but the skeleton. Before the
burial Mr.. Wyckoff applied to
Squire Payne to have an in
quest held, hut not considering
it case of emergency, he de-
clined to act as Coroner,
We regard the facts as TO the
death of the child as still
shrouded in mystery. The sto-
ry as told by Mr.. Wyckoff and
Miss Cunningham is coupled
with matters, stated as facts,
which our own senses as well
as the evidence of disinterested
citizens, pronounce untrue.
Possibly the child was not
criminally made way with, but
the air of injured innocence
makes us take all their evil
dence with a very liberal al
lowance.
The most probable story is
that told by Mr.. WIS little
daughter. II Is to the effect
that the dead child had entire
ly recovered from her illness in
cident to the broken leg, and
one day while playing fell off
the back porch the porch al
luded to is twelve feet high)
and broke her neck. The con-
dition of the remains seems to
confirm this version; tor the
skull was disengaged from the
other parts ofthe skeleton, had
rolled to the foot of the coffin
and lad two holes broken In
the top of it. But ii this be true,
still we have the mystery OF
the burial. Why was the child
buried under the houseG Re
garding the parties as innocent,
we can see no satisfactory ex
planat'on.
