The SUMS Heat,

An interesting computation has been
made of the amount of force impaired
to the earth by the suns heat. Accord
ing to the best Investigations that have
been made, there is received in one
minute enough heat to raise the tenn
perature of five and half cubic miles
of water one degree Centigrade. If,
now, we compare this with the work
done by q given amount of heat, as
utilized in steam engine, it will be
found that the heat sent to the earth in
the suns rays during the space of one
minute is able to do as much work as
would be done by two thousand steam
engines of one hundred horsepower
each, working continuously for the
space of four thousand years.
What becomes of this inconceivably
great amount of power is worthy of
consideration; and we begin to realize
the nature of the problems of the fu-
ture scientists when we reflect that by
far the larger part of this heat force ex-
ponds itself upon the earth in actual
work, only small portion of it being
radiated into space. OF course the re-
suit accomplished, such as the main
tenance of the temperature of the earth,
ocean, and atmosphere, the stimu-
lating of animal and vegetable life, etc.,
ETC., must be the equivalent of the
power retained by our globe.

To Catch q Canary.

AT this season of the year, when it
behooves us to scrub and re-gravel our
bird-cages, it's more than likely that
your canary will get out.
In such a case prompt and decisive
action is required. 1t is useless for
the whole family to collect and shout at
the canary and make desperate attempts
to watt Observation-Disclosures over him.
Life is too short to be wasted in this
way.
And maddened efforts to clap hats
over him generally amount to very lit
tie, especially when he is up tree.
And just here we may remark, that
there are few methods of taking exer-
else that may be relied upon to hold
out like that of following loose canary
around village, reaching out at arms
length toward him good-sized bird
cage, and endeavoring by q series of
monotonous and irrelevant chirps to
make him believe he wants to go in.
Sugar and cuttle-fsh bone, as engines
of seduction, are not to be depended
upon. The average coaxation into
cages by sugar of the ordinary canary
of North America is in the proportion
of a wheelbarrowful of the one to a
feather of the other.
We will also state in this connection
that a man with new shoes on, and a
big cage in one hand, can furnish an
interesting spectacle to over forty by
10, I l, boo b
offer why Establishments to an enfran-
chised canary.
The real way to catch loose canary,
and the only way which can be warrant
ed for term of years, is to collect al
your friends and family and post them
around the tree OF fence where the
canary is at bay. Let them all furnish
themselves with plenty of bits of kind
ling wood, sods of grass, Jumps of dirt,
hunks of brick, curry-combs, bootjacks,
porter-bottles, and other handy missiles,
and let them fire away boldly at the
canary. If the bird cowardly turns tail
and flies off, let everybody follow and
slam-bang at him with their utmost
vigor. 1t will be hard to confine this
entertainment to your immediate circle.
No boy whose heart is in the right
place and who has any legs will refrain
from the pursuit, and there are men
who would leave a dentists chair to
mingle in the fray. There are cases,
too, where o funeral would hang by q
thread, as it were, in the vicinity of q
canary hunt Even from the windows
of upper rooms, where sickness or dis.
habille may detain unfortunate en-.
thusiasts, there will come, ever and
anon, frantic wash-bowl or a whizzing
lamp-chimney to testify the university
of the public interest. Of course, il
this rapid free distribution of fre-wood
and paving material, it will not be long
before several of your relations will
wish they had brought tin umbrella
along. But considerations of mere per
sonal comfort must not be allowed tc
interfere. If you keep this up long
enough, and you all fire pretty straight
you'll be sure to get your canary. And
then you can have him stuffed. Beau
tiful glass eyes can be had for twenty
cents pair but you had better buy
your glass eyes by the dozen, for O.
course you'll soon be getting another
canary, so as not to waste the cage.

Eyesight of Animals.

Horses and cattle have excellent eye
sight, even to very advanced age.
Dogs in wild state preserve their
vision unimpaired to the extreme period
of their life limitation, while domesti-
Gated dogs see very imperfectly in the
course of ten years, if they live 50 long.
The reason seems to be owing to look
ing at fires in the house, exposed to
candle or gas lights, and being about
dwellings where the sphere of vision is
limited by the Intervention of fences,
edifces, etc. A free range always in
open air also tends to the preservation
of the vision of wild animals and birds.
Another circumstance contributes to
the preservation of the vision in wild
animals. Perpetual vigilance contrib
utes to afree circulation in the optic APP
paratus and uniform convexity of the
cornea. -
Were it not for white writing paper,
artificial light, stimulating drinks which
quicken the circulation to the engorge-
ment of minute vessels in the interior
of the organs, and passing much of our
time in the midst of rejecting lights
from surrounding objects, our eyes
would be about as good at threescore
and ten as in the early days of child

Rainfall in the United States.

The extensive work on the rainfall in
the United States, lately published by
the Smithsonian Institution, will be in
valuable to engineers and others to
whom are referred the great questions
of improving the navigation of the riv-
ers of this country. BY means of such
tables as are given in this volume a few
minutes computation enables one to
determine the area of country that
must be drained in order to secure a
water supply sufficient for any specified
purpose. The engineers of Europe
have long been sensible of the great
practical value of works of this nature,
and we have before us chart of the
rainfall of Switzerland, showing, by
carefully drawn isohyetals, the minutest
detail of the annual precipitation Cn-
Guiding the melted snow of winter.
The construction of this chart, which is
probably preliminary to far more elab-
crate exhibit, is based on the returns
during the six years 1864--1869, from
the ninety-seven stations of the Switz-
erland hydrometric commission of the
"Naturforschenden" Society. A COM
parison of the data for some of the
Swiss lakes with those for the great
lakes of America may prove of interest.
Thus we have the annual rainfall for
Lake Geneva, 1914 inches for Lake
Neuchatel, 37.4; for Lake Zurich, 46. Q;
for the Boden-See, 43. 3 inches. On the
other hand, we find from the Smith
sonian charts, for Lake Ontario, 80 for
Lake Erie, SO; for Lake Huron, 30 /;
Lake Michigan, 80; Lake Superior, %
inches; and for Salt Lake, Utah, 20
inches.
The ratio of rainfall to evaporation,
and the resulting volume of water flow
ing into the rivers, are among the most
interesting of the questions that come
before hydraulic engineers. Mr.. Ben
tell, the author of the Switzerland rain
chart, has studied hesubiect, and finds
that in the area drained by the Aar only
eighteen per cent. of the rainfall is lost
by evaporation; the remainder flows
into the river past the city of Aarau.
The neighborhood of the Grimsel, and
of Mount st. Bernard, is the region of
the heaviest rain and snow fall in all
Europe, the annual fall being measured
as 9S.4 inches. The Smithsonian rain
charts give 80 inches for the extreme
northwest coast of Washington Terri
tory, and 60 inches for Southern Flor
ida, as the points of heaviest rainfall
within the United States.

The Great summer 1nrigornnt.

The human skin is as full of holes as fine sieve.
Through these millions of orifces a considerable
portion of the waste matter of the system exudes.
But in warm summer weather, when the flow of
Precipitation is excessively eopious, something
besides the exhausted material of the body is
evaporated. Nutritive elements Of the blood, re-
quired for the sustenance and support of the living
frame, pass through the pores, and the result is
loss of strength and vigor. 1t would be dangerous
to check the leakage, for every pore is at once a
ventilation and an escape pipe, and constipation
Of the skin is detrimental to health cGnstipa
tion the bowels The wsest course is to reinforce
and vitalize the languid system with Hostetter's
Stomach Btters and thus enable it to bear without
peril or inconvenience the extraordinary drain.
The debility, lassitude and depression of spirits
general in hot weather, and which are teo often
the precursors of bilious attacks and painful affec-
lions of the bowels and the nerves, quickly disap
pear under the invigorating and regulating opera
tion of this unequaled vegetable stimulant and
Alternative. To the feeble it is article OF prime
necessity at all seasons and even the robust are
apt to wilt and languish under the devitalizing
influence of fervid temperature, the Bitters can
be conscientiously recommended as a healthful
summer tonic for all.

Civilized Indians.

The Indian Commissioners state that
nearly fve-sixths of the 100000 Indians
of the United States and Territories are
civilized or partially civilized. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs divides
them as follows Civilized, $4,000;
semi-civilized, 125,000; wholly bar
barous, $4,000. Of the civilized In
dams the Cherokees are the most ad-
vanced. They number Is, 900, and have
a reservation in the Indian Territory of
four million acres. "They have their
own written language, their national
constitution and laws, their churches,
schools, and academies, their judges
and courts. Their dwellings, consist
of 500 frame and $500 log houses. Dur
ing the year 1872 they raised 100000
bushels of corn, besides large quanti-
ties of wheat, oats, and potatoes, their
aggregate crops being greater than
those of New Mexico and Utah COM
bined. Their stock consists of 10000
horses, 75,0 900 neat cattle, 100, 900 hogs,
and $1,000 sheep. The Cherokees have
sixty schools in operation, with an ag-
gregate attendance of 2,133 scholars.
Three of these schools are maintained
for the instruction of their former negro
slaves" There are in the Indian Ter
ritory from 10000 to $4,000 Indians in
the same general condition as the
Cherokees.

Wealth of Dairying Districts.

The wealth of some of our dairying
districts is enormous. Herkimer, New
York, is said to ship annually over IT,

pounds of butter, worth $4,500,000

butter, worth in the market 81 $50, 000
The village of Wellington, Ohio, shipped
100000 pounds of cheese in 1869,
worth 100000. The products of the
dairy are sold for cash, and hence the
returns are quick. This industry en-
ables the manufacturer to reduce a large
bulk of food into small compass,

cows and manufacturing the produc-

The War in Ashantee.

There are hopes of favorable termi-
nation of the war in Ashantee, the scene
of the action of which is about twenty
six miles from the coast, whittier all
able bodied males in Cape Coast Castle
have now been called. These with the
Fantee tribes of the protectorate will
muster about $1,000 men. The Asian
tees number about -, 900, and the forces
of the protectorate form a crescent in
front of them. The Ashantees are short
of ammunition, but being very brave
will probably fight as long as there is
any hope for them. The cause of the
war was as follows: Elminah and its
territories (about six miles from Cape
Coast CASTLE were lately coded to the
English by the Dutch. Up to the time
of the ceding the Dutch Government
had paid a yearly present of $400 to the
King of Ashantee, and, besides, gave
him $40 for every man he supplied to
them for the native army recruited for
service in their other colonies. These
men were all captives taken in battle by
the king. He would have slaughtered
them had not the Dutch market been
open to him. When England became
possessed of Elminah the diplomatists
set aside these "vested rights " of the
King of Ashantee, and instead of send
ing word to him beforethe transfer took
place and offering to compromise, the
chief administrator, Mr.. Pope Hennes-
sy, in spite of the counsels of expe-
rienced men, took no notice of the
claims of the king. This was both q
slight and an injustice and festered in
his mind, and some time afterwards
when Mr.. Hennessy senta messenger to
the king, asking him to release certain
missionaries and Offering So, 900 if they
should be sent to Cape Coast Castle,
the messenger was made prisoner and
the kings answer was the descent of
$4,000 savages on the protectorate,
whereby great loss of life and property
was occasioned.

Local Option in New York.

Gov. Dix, of New York, vetoed the
Local Option Prohibition bill passed
by the Legislature. The ground of his
objections is the including of malt
liquors in the list of beverages which
may or may not be sold. He thinks
that no municipality should have the
privilege of voting on the question of
licensing whiskey-shops, because the
bill, as passed by the Legislature, shuts
up the voter to but one choice on all
liquors, including ale and beer. The
Assembly refused to pass the bill ovel
