1t Is recognized by physicists that our
earth is gradually parting with its heat.
AS it cools it contracts. Now, If this pro-
cess of contraction took place uniformly,
no subterranean action would result. But,
if the interior contracts more quickly than
the crust, the latter must in some way or
other force its way down TO the retreating
nucleus. Mr.. Mallet shows that the hotter
internal portion must contract faster than
relatively cool crust and then he show,
that the shrinkage of the crust is compe-
tent to occasion all the known phenomena
of volcanic action. In the distant ages,
when the earth was still fashioning, the
shrinkago produced the irregularities of
level which we recognize in the elevation
of the land and the depression of the ocean
bed Then came the period when, as the
crust shrank, it formed corrugdHons; in
other words, whom the foldings and eleva-
tions of the somewhat thickened crust gave
rise to the mountan-rauges of the earth.
Lastly, as the globe gradually lost its ex-
tremely high temperature, the continuance
of the same process of shrinkage led no
longer to the formation of ridges and table,
land but to local crushing down and dislo-
cation. This process is still going on, and
Mr.. Mallet not only recognizes here the
origin of earthquakes, and of the changes
OF level now in progress, but the true cause
of volcanic heat. The modern theory of heat
as form of motion here comes into play.
As the solid crust closes in upon the shrink
ing nucleus, the work expended in crush
ing down and dislocatipg the parts Of the
crust is transformed into heat, by which,
at the places whore the process goes on
with greatest energy, 'the material of the
rock so crushed and of that adjacent to It
are heated even to fusion. The access Of
water to such points determines volcanic
eruption"
Now, all this is not mere theorizng.
Mr.. Mallet does not come before the scen-
tihc world with an ingenious speculation,
which may or not be confirmed by obser-
walton aud experiment. He measured and
weighed the forces OF which he speaks. He
is able to tell precisely what proportion OF
the actual energy which must be develop cd
as the earth contracts 10 necessary for the

PROPORTIO.v OF CREAM.

Few persons are aware, probabl y, OF the
extent to which the percentage of cream is
Influenced by the conditions of the COW.
1t is curious fact that any excitement to
which the animal is subjected causes very
large loss Of cream on the milk. At the
Barre meeting of the Massachusetts Slate
Board. DIR. Sturevant of So. Framingham,
said, "Under the same circumstances, the
same COW gave, one day nine and half
per cent of cream and another day eight
cen per cent of cream" Thereupon Mr..
Lewis. an old and experienced dairy man,
said II can tell bigger story than that.
have taken a good deal of pains to test
the value of my milk that | have worked
into cheese. | have graduated glasses for
the purpose, AMI have found COW whose
uniform percentage of cream was eighteen
per cent reduced to six in twelve hours
not from any change of food, but from
little excitement. You gentlemen who
make butter be careful to adopt my adj
vice and always treat your cow kindly and
gently-never get her excited, because ev-
cry ounce of excitement will take from her
milk one per cent of cream. have known
a COW abused by furious, brutal mixer,
and the percentage of her cream went down
one-half. 1t is astonishing what an effect
excitement has on the percentage of cream
in the milk that a COW produces. You will
be astonisbed if you will make the test,
and make it carefully. I have known a
COW, excited from natural causes, to drop
in her percentage of cream in her milk
from fourteen to six per cent in II hours.
So would again repeat, whoever abuses
his COW knocks out of his milk a large per-
centage of the cream
| 1t will readily be seen how important it is
to keep the COW quiet and from fright and
all excitement. The worry by dogs, the
hurrying and halloing of boys when driv-
ing the cows home from pasture, the kick
ing and pounding of an angry mixer, or
any similar cause of excitement will be
sure to reduce the quality of the milk to
the extent of several per cent of cream.
This fact is too we'll attested by many care
full and experienced dairymen to admit OF
a doubt, and the first object of concern with
the butter dairymen, especially, should he
to see that his cows are treated with the ut
most gentleness all the time. The boys
who drive the cows home will make a note
of this, and when the spring comes and
cows 90 out, just mark what we say Mass

land, or on wet aud naturally swampy

pies on low, ayey ground; the red maple

look and study for himself 1t is not often
advisable to attempt TO plant the swamps,
though their edges may be planted with
success and without loss but the swamps
usually hold beneath them treasures of ma
nure, muck or marsh mud, which few
farmers in New England can afford to COW
err or forget. They are filed, often to the
depth of many feet, with the accumulations
of vegetable and animal substances that
have passed through decay, additions to
which have, for thousands of years, been
annually brought down from the surround
ing declvities and hills. TO those lands
they should be carried back wherever the
land is devoted to cultivation. Geo. B..

ly has a separate house or apartment. Those
who join the community contribute all
their property to the common stock, and If
they become dissatisfied they receive back
just what they put in, without interest or
wages, and leave. SO property cannot well
become bone of contention, and no one
can regard himself prisoner when he Is

This Is what they have done in sixteen
years They found wild lands. and began
their work Just where Nature left Off hers.
They have brdged the river, made good
roads, planted hedges of white willow, built
II canal nine miles in length, nearly paral
lei with the river, TO supply their needed
water-power several Touring mills, wool
en- factories, machine shops, starch, sugar
and vinegar manufactures, all fitted out
with fine machinery made by their own
machnists. They have built five villages
on the ract, and two Of them are stations
for the Rock Island and Pacific Railroad,
which comes to their doors. They have good
school houses, and plain churches, and two
| grain elevators at the railroad stations, each
Of a capacity for storing about $4,000 BUSH
els of grain. The children are kept at
school until they are fourteen then they
are taught trade or agriculture, and their
education is continued in night schools.
English is taught, but German is the me-
dunn of communication in business and So
cial life. Their religious services are very
simple, consisting principally of reading
the Scriptures, prayer aud singing, aud
they have some good voices for the latter.
The women assist in light cut door work,
especially in the vineyards. Early mar
rages are discouraged and men are not
considered of suitable age for wedlock un-
til they attain the maturity of So years.
There is a great deal of intelligence in this
community, but no brlliancy of any kind.

what vile abomination
Is this awful vaccination
Half the arms Of half creation
Must be scarifed and sore.
Mine is itching, swelling, aching,
Totires new forever making,
And I wonder-'Ts II taking9"
And I murmur "what bore!"
Not word or sign of pity
Can l find in all the city.
Every fool who would be witty
Makes remarks about my arm.
Some, with hearts than icebergs colder,
In their malice growing holder,
Seize me roughly by the shoulder,
Just to laugh at my alarm.
Every mortal is my foeman;
sympathy win from no man;
But with courage truly Roman,
Bear my misery alone.
Every one who cometh nigh me
Finds some way to tease and try me;
Poking, rubbing, jostling by me,
Wondering how cross I've grown.

Had your arm 80 ached and smarted,
Less severe and softer hearted
You'd have been in life below.
Had you known this pain distressing
Which the world is all confessing,
You'd have left some milder blessing
With a little less OF woe.
Life becomes but void and frightful;
Horrid visions fill my night full;
Even SMALLPOX seems delightful,
Matched against this little sore.
