ORCHARDs IN GRAss.-H a man de-
sires fruit for himself and family only.
and is Indifferent as to the time he gets
it, and Indifferent about the quality ard
quantity, then he may plant his trees in
grass ground and keep them in that con-
dition; but if he intends to make the
business of fruit-growing a dependence
for a livelihood, he would hardly be
satisfied to wait from twelve to fifteen
years for results that might be OBJ
tanned by good culture in seven or eight
years nor would he be likely to be
pleased with the moderate returns from
common or inferior fruit while his
neighbor was receiving high prices for
a superior article grown on the ground
where fruit was the only crop.
It is true that there are soils so rich
that culture would give trees an Excess
i've growth, and not only postpone
fruitfulness, but make them liable to
he injured by the severe winters. An
| experienced horticulturist would not
choose such a soil for an orchard.
One great advantage of having the
| round under culture is that it enables
he orchardist to give his trees a more
uniform growth, without regard to con-
lition or unfavorable seasons. If his
trees are loaded with fruit or the season
unusually dry, more frequent stir
ring of the surface will generally keep
mp the desired vigor, but if the trees
IRE in grass aud the season very dry, he
IS powerless to help the case and can
only watch and worry to see his trees
almost cease to grow, and the leaves
turn brown and the fruit drop for want
Of sustenance, and perhaps gets very
little consolation as he listens to his
neighbours merry whistle while follow
ing his cultivator or h rrow through his
orchard, unconcerned about theweathel
and wicked enough perhaps to wish that
everybody else believed in the "grass
iheory," so that he will be able to get
! m extra price for his extra fruit.

THE WEIGHT OF AR.-Little as we
realizethewight of gaseous bodies, it is
meteorologically certain that one
cubic mile of atmostphereric air weighs
over five millions six hundred thousand
tons, and one cubic mile of pure by
drogen, the lightest known substance,
weighs no less than three hundred and
eighty-nine thousand tons. 1t will,
therefore, appear somewhat startling to
those who laugh at the terrors of our
forefathers, comets, to learn that such a
gaseous body has an enormous weight,
aud its mass is not less than that of an
asteroid. 1t would have, if reduced to
the density of the earth, a diameter
somewhere between thirty-two and two
hundred and thirty-seven miles; and
if reduced to the density of sphere of
lead, would have a diameter which may
approximately be put at least as high
as fifty miles.

THE CHEMISTS IN A MIDDLE. There
cent discovery of a French chemist
that hydrogen is not an element,
but compound of still lighter
substance now known as abaron. has
considerably startled scientific investi
gators. Indeed, the discovery. it is
thought, may lead to another complete
revolution in the nomenclature of
chemistry ; and one much greater than
the last, the distinctive feature of which
is the possible composition of atoms in
an elemental molecule. At the first
blush it might seem that the number of
the ultimate elements would be indefi-
nitely multiplied by further discoveries
in the same direction, and that, instead
of "a, we may have several hundreds.
But the reverse of this would most pro-
badly be the truth and the result nav
be even to realize the theory that
the number of attainable elements
is very small, while they, in turn, are
distinguished from each other simply
by difference in the molecular group
ings of atoms, each of which has pre-
cisely the same magnitude, and volume,
and potential function, with every other
that exists in any and every part of the
vast material universe.

TIE TASus SToSE.-The Smithsonian
institution has been advised of the
shipment, on the part of the khedive of
Egypt, of a fine copy in plaster of the
celebrated tanis stone. This stone, as
it may be remembered, was found some
years ago near one of the mouths of the
Nile, and contains a long priestly histo-
ny carved on its three faces, in hero
glyphic, Greek, and Egyptian respec-
lively; the Greek thus furnishing an in
depreciation to the other two. This
answers the same purpose as the rosetta
stone, in supplying key for decipher-
ing the ancient Egyptian characters,
and is in some respects superior to that,
as having n more extensive vocabulary.
With the tanis stone have also been
shipped to the institution over one
hundred Impressions in paper, or
"squeezes," of bas-reliefs taken from
various monuments in Egypt, many of
which have a very great interest.

PETROLEUM REFINING. The cheap
ness of labor in Europe, and also the
lower cost of chemicals, give not only
the English, but the French and Ger
mans, great advantages over us in the
business of refining. The acids used in
the process cost here fully twice as
much as in Europe, and the wages of
still tenders and other laborers are
about SO week, against $40 in New
York and at the wells. Our crude pc
troleum can be taken across the water,
refined, and returned here and sold in
competition with our manufacturers.
1t appears possible then, and even pro-
bable, that this vast industry will soon
pass out of our hands entirely. The
foreign exporters are building vessels
to carry the oil in bulk, thus avoiding
the loss on barrels, which has hitherto
been considerable. The value to the
country of this refining industry is
stated to be as high as $50, OOO, 900, an
item of income of no mean Importance

THE HUGHES CAsE.-We last week
alluded to the case ofa Mr.. Hughes.
charged by the West Liberty Enter
prise Of treating an idiotic daughter
most inhumanly. Mr.. Hughes Wis
tied us Monday, with the unfor tunate
idiot girl and her elder sister, who
with her father has had sole charge Of
her for six years. The following We
quote from the Muscatine Journal,
(where Mr.. Hughes has also been) ~
being about the fair thing to give the
public under the circumstances
1.-THE facts in the case. "a he (Mr. H.
gave them to US, are these: The girl,
who 10 fifteen years Of age, has been
subject to epileptic fits since she was
two weeks Of age. The trouble IL cup
posed to have been caused by unav0id-
able injury at tho time Of her birth.
She requires constant watching, II left
ct large, to prevent her from falling
into the firs or otherwise doing her.
self injury. Her mother died six
years ago. The family now consists
Of ak children, two Of them older
than the unfortunate girl. One Of
these, the oldest sister, has had charge
OF her. In order to keep her with
greater security to herself. she was
placed the past summer In . partially
open building near the dwelling. It
was found that it would not do to per.
NIT her to be at liberty in a room
with = window, ~ she would break
out the glass. A few months ago, the
father went to Kansas, making a. he
says ample provision for his family
and leaving . prominent citizen Of
West Liberty In general oversight Of
his affairs. During his absence COM
plant was made that the apartment
Of the girl was IN disgustinyiy filthy
condition--thst she was half starved
that she was cruelty beaten by her
fAther-and, In short, that her death
by slow and torturing processes was
the object Of her keepers. Her physi.
clan says there are no marks Of vio-
lence on her body and no injuries Of
any sort except burns on one Of her
hands caused by falling on q hot stove
while In fit. Her father aud sister
state that they have been unremitting
In their care Of the unfortunate crea-
ture, and have sought for her own
sake place for her in some asylum
but have been refused by both the
Superintendent Of the Mt. Pleasant
and Independence institutions. ~ our
laws forbid the admission of idiots.
It is bad enough to have an afl1ic-
ton Of this kind in . family, and 1t IL
to be regretted II In this case the dis
tress has been aggravated by unjust
representations Of meddlesome per-
sons. We would not shield any one
who Is even negligent OF duty in q
matter Of this kind. and trust that
such q thorough investigation will be
made in this case as is necessarily in
volved in the line of policy adopted by
Mr.. Hughes to defend the character Of
himself and family from what he pro-
nounces wicked and malicious SIAN
ders."
