Cause Of Dew.

If dew fell, Il would fall for the same
reason that rain falls; but dew does not
fall; i is simply deposit Of moisture,
always contained in the air to a greater
or less degree, and which, when there is
enough of it will always form on any cold
body exposed to the moist air, in precisely
the same way that bottle or stone taken
from cool cellar and suddenly exposed in
the shade 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 viii condense against the window
panes, when the air is cold outside, and
moist inside, the moisture slowly freezing,
while its deposits form crystals Of ice.
which We 50 often admire in winter
When the weather is cool enough, the
moisture deposited win even freeze on
plants and grass, and then we call il hoar
frost; if il does not freeze it issimply dew
The only point left % be explained is, why
does the ground be cooler than the air
above it, as to cause the latter to deposit
its moisture This was for many years
q vexed problem, till Wells first suggested
the radiation Of obscure heat, which takes
place from the surface Of the earth through
the clear atmosphere into the space above,
and 50 causes the surface to become much
cooler than the air itself He demonstrat-
cd this BY means Of thermometers placed
at different heights, and also BY the fact
that dew is only deposited on cloudless
nights When there arc clouds they re-
Feet the heat or prevent il from escaping.
The surface Of the earth thus keps from
cooling, no dew is deposited. ~ IMansyactu-
'ey and Builder.

For several hours the other day they
were visible from this city, on twenty-five
miles Of desert, five or SIX columns Of sand,
sucked up as by as many whirlwinds. All
sea these would have been waterspouts.
but upon the desert they were only what
we might call sandspouts. The columns
appeared 70 be ten feet in diameter and
one thousand feet in height. Although
they waltzed about over the plains for two
or three hours, they never came together
or lost their cylindrical form, and when
they did go down they went down at once
all falling together.
These sandspouts are well known to ali
old prospectors, and seem to indicate 4
change Of weather We have Frequently
seen in the Forty-mile desert, east Of the
lower Sink of the Carson, not less than
ten or ffteen Of these tall sand-columns
moving about over the plains at the same
time. Il isseldom that they come together,
but when they do they dart forward like
two flashes of lightning, and the two
columns Of sand q; once fall to the ground.
Those who have mot been on our great
deserts, and have never witnessed these
grand spouts or the wonderful mirages,

A CENTENARIAN.


The following history Of remarkable
man is furnished to the New York Herald
By correspondent writing from Delaware
Water Gap, Pa under date of January IS,
1873:
Taking a sleigh and driving thirteen
miles west of here yesterday into wild
unfruitful country, found in a weather
beaten farm house off the roadside the
oldest man in America, George lie Barre
who was born at Mount Bethel, North
ampton county, in this State, in the Fall
ofl15s, and is consequently approaching
his one hundred and fifteenth year.
had for companion, on the visit to this
remarkable centenarian, Mr.. Edward /.
Brodhead, gentleman belonging to one
of the oldest families in the State, aud an
authority in genealogical lore We stopped
at Sam Bush's tavern at the cross roads to
inquire che precise location of Lo Barre's
residence Sam asked, as We were about
to leave, SCOT suthin spiritool for the old
man p
"Why, no, we answered; che wouldn't
drink
Better fetch him Drop continued
Sam; che takes his nip of whiskey, and
when he chucks in two or three stiff horns
he talks like bird You've got to open
his heart and set his tongue a-goin' in this
way or he won't tell you anything worth
cent"
"Put n little water in that for him, "
added Sam as We departed with ginger
beer bottle filed with the alcoholic sesame;
sits above proof aud may bother him
summit Not much water, mind jest
enough to prevent him from coughing. y
Sans injlnctions were properly fol-
lowed, and the result was such as we were
led to anticipate. Though everybody knew
of George lie Barre it was only favored
few that appeared to enjoy his personal
acquaintance. His residence, in very
sterile section Of the county and away from
the highways and centres Of population,
kept him apart from his neighbors; and,
then, George from his youth had fancy
for solitary settlements aud an aversion to
any other comforts than his dog and gun
His habits in early life were insensibly
modelled on those Of the Indians, Of whom
he knew considerably more than Of his own
race. He was Graded in their midst, and
when the great 'Indian walk took place
IN 1868 and most Of the white settlers
asorth Of the mountains "-as the region
of country is called above the Delaware
Water Gap--wcre butchered and THEN
houses destroyed, George, his family and
their home were exempted from the gen
eral doom. George, though mere child
at the time, remembers that terrible
walk" Of the Indians and remembers,
too, how his fathers roof gave shelter to
several Of the unfortunate settlers
The youngest daughter Of Mr.. lie Barre,
lively lass Of sevcnty-six, with an eye as
bright and sharp as an otter's, opened the
door for US, aud, having stirred up the FIRE
in the old-fashioned hearth, started with
brisk step 10 tell her venerable parent that
two visitors desired 10 see him. The room
where we waited managed to embrace the
accommodations Of kitchen, reception room,

seum Of relics, consisting Of old aints,

pouches, hunting knives and all the odds
