The Zone of Life.

Insignificant as is the spot we inhabit, the zone of lile-the air which not only all that live and breathe and move inhabit, but in N hich all vegetation Is contained--is still more limited. From the submarine forests in the lowest depths of the sea tO the highest altitude to which the condor soar, above per petual suow, is but twelve miles Within those scanty limits, six miles of air above us, six miles ol water beneath, everything that has vitality is confined. If the salamander lives in the central fire, the exception is 90 small as scarcely to bc worth mentioning. The air presses upon the earth with force equal Co thirty-ihree feet of water, and upon every average human body with weight of fifteen tons, which only does not quash us flat as pancakes, because the air surrounds us on all sides, including our insides, and thereby the weight is balanced. To most oi us, nature is one vast mirage, suggesting in finite delusions and even to the learned many things still remain to be cleared up by slUw-moying science in future ages. Who would imagine, ul on the face of the matter, for instance, that, in an airless world, not a sound could ever be heard On the contrary, in stil! and silent space, one would conceive that we might hesr s pin drop from the moon Hawkshee demonstrated the contrary of this in a memorable experiment before the Royal Society, lS0 years ago. He placed a clock under the pressure of an air.pump, in such [ way that the striking of the clapper woulC continue after the air hal been exhausted while the receiver was full Of air, the sount was quite audible; when it was empty al was silent. Again, when the air was intro duced, there was feeble sound, growing Il intensity as the air grew denser. At the top u Mont Blanc, the report of pistol is n louder than than that of common cracker a the level of the sea. "Above two miles, say Mir. Glsisher, who, ss every body knows, is al aeronaut of considerable experience, "all nois ceases. l never encountered silence nor complete and solemn than in the heights O the atmosphere--in those chilling solitude to which no terrestial sound reaches" Or the other hand, clouds absolutely facilitat the transmission of sound. Above grea city, to height of from l,0o0 10 1900 feet there is always noise, immense, collossal and indescribable." The whistle of a steam en zine is heard at 10000 feet, the noise of [ train at S,2O0, says M. Flammarion; but Mir Glaisher testifes 10 having heard this latte' when 22,O00 feet up in the air; the barking of dog and the report of a gun rise each t6 6,0O0 feet; the shouts of a crowd of people the growing of cock, the tolling of bell tc 5,000 and the shout of a human being tC $500 feet -lChamber's Journal.

NEWLY SET TREEs.-We offer a few sug gestions to those who may have set young trees last autumn or this spring, not as new, but because the necessary care is apt to be overlooked or forgotten. There is a critical period late in spring or early in summer, when trees often suffer severely and some times fatally, for want of little timely at- tention. As hot weather approaches, all newly transplanted trees require mulching. In most cases, mellow earth forms the best mulch; and if circle about the tree, sev- eral feet in diameter, is kept clean and well cultivated, the moisture in the soil will be retained, and fine growth will be the re- suit An additional tnulchiug will be neces- sary only on very dry soils, or in an unusu- ally dry season. Young cherry trees form an exception, and they should always be mulch cd before the hot weather of summer. After enywfsg,h ,hh9e tfeey ole ufiaer 'R6t s6iis Sev, eral inches of old straw or grass, spread timely under the tree, will save it. This mulching should never be omitted with cherry trees the first year. Watering trees should never be employed except in extreme cases. The practice destroys many more trees than It saves. If they are we'll set and the earth kept mellow, they will not need it.
 A neighbor set out thirty cherry trees and watered fifteen. Those not watered all lived 1; large number of the watered trees died, in consequence of the hard crust which the watering formed on the surface, while none reached the roots foot below. If water is ever applied to young tree the surface earth should he first sboveled away, so that it may at once reach the roots, and the mellow earth then replaced. But even here the interInit- ting supply thus given is not as good as the uniform moisture preserved by keeping mel. low bed of earth.-l Country Gentleman.
