AGRTCULTURE ON THE WING.


When buds are swelling and early fow-
ers showing their petals in March, one may
see and feel that agriculture, not less than
the world in which we live, is ever on the
wing. BY the excellence of their instru-
ments, and the wonderful exactness of
mathematics, astronomers are able to
say with great confidence that our fruitful
planet is about ninety-five million miles
from the sun that warns it, and gives ex-
istence 10 vegetable and animal life. APP
parently, nothing would have been easier,
or more natural than to fix the earth's or
bit and position in relation to the
sun in such way, as to have no winter,
spring, summer nor autumn,
but one unvarying temperature and
year. Such a world, and such a climate,
would be a sad and supplying monotony.
If half of the earth's orbit is niRety-fve
million miles in length, the whole diameter
is 100 million, and the path through which
our farms actually travel in a year, has a
roadway some three times the length of the
diametrT Of its vast race course. In other
words, If it is 100 million miles through
from ole side to its opposite of the e2rth's
orbit, il must be some $40 million miles
around 1t. Divide $40 by 365 (the days in
year, and we find that our celestial rail-
way train carries us On a free excursion
ticket, one million five huudred and sixty
one thousand miles every "a hours. 1t is
E,ore important that we realize something
OF Gods works that move all around US
AID in us, to be good farmers, than igno,
rant people believe.
Every field on a farm, in travelling over &
million and 8 half miles from one day Il
another, changes materially the angle Of its
surface to the incidence of the suns rays Of
light and heat. The sun cannot rise highe
in the heavens al each noon In the sprinl
season, without sending down on ever,
square foot of earth and water, large
quantity of that amazing force which devel
ops living germ in an apparently dea'
seed of corn, and continues its silent bu
all-pOwerful action, until this germ bear
fruit, it may be two ears, and on both
crop equal in all respects, to one THOUSAND
of the seed planted. Every farmer know
that this statement is in no sense mer
theory, but the experience of corn grower
for centuries.
If this germ be placed in the soil too ear

A PHYSICAL WONDER.
Mice and AIIigatOrs In the stomach
of q Lady.

Mice and AlIigatOrs In the stomach
of a Lady.
From the Lexington (Ky.) Press
A curious case came to our notice yester-
day, for which whe have the most reliable
authority, though at first sight it may seem
either like canard or jest, designed to i'm
pose upon some person of super credulity.
Our Informant, however, tells US the story
in all seriousness, and assured Us that he
was prepared TO vouch for its accuracy.
We have no hesitation, therefore in setting
it afoat on the ocean ofnewspaper commerce
and exchange, in order to give the curious
and reflective something upon which to ex-
ercise their mental faculties, and to fur
nish the faculty, Psychologists and men IN
terested in physical science generally, a
marvellous subject for investigation.
A certain lady residing in Frankfort has
been very sick for some time, and so very
strange were her symptoms as to utterly set
at naught the skill of the physicians. She
suffered from general debility, became
frightfully emaciated, and yet possessed a
most voraciOus appetite, and people began
to account for the latter phenomenon by the
old superstitious method OF assigning the
cause to the possession ofan seating wolf"
The mystery was solved q few days ago,
however, when, after sick spell and fit of
retching, she elected from her stomach a
mouse (dead), and shortly ufterward aliv-
ing alligator, of small dimensions. Some
of the physicians have expressed an opinion
that there are more of these animals re-
manning in the lady's stomach, and that
they are being constantly generated there.
But as to how they had ORIGIN there we have
not heard that any one has ventured to risk
an assertion or explanation. Perhaps some
parties who are investigating Huxley's pro-
toplasm and the DarWinian theory of the
origin of animal life may be able TO throw
some intelligent light on the matter. We
should be glad to receive some cOrrespon-
| dence on this subject from any of our able
students of nature and natures laws.
