Forests and Drought.

Sardinia and Sicily, once the granaries of
Italy, have suffered the penalty of their
thoughtlessness in exterminating their forests.
Two thousand years ago those lands were Gel
ebrated for their wonderful productiveness,
and were said to be the most beautiful in the
world. In 1900 Humboldt visited Venezuela,
South America, and was informed by the ma
tives living in the valley of Araguay that they
had noticed with great astonishment, that
lake which lay in the middle of the valley
decreased in volume every year. The cause
of this is clearly traced to the telling of
great number of trees which grew on the
surrounding mountains. In Hungary the
periodical droughts are universally attributed
to the annihilation of forests. In Cairo,
Lower Egypt, great many years ago, rain
fell but seldom-only once in three or four
years, but since the time of Mohammed Ali
twenty to thirty millions of trees have been
planted, and the result is now that the people
have from thirty to forty rains every year.
Surely these few of the many examples are
warnings sufficient to put US on our guard.

One Cause of FIRE.

DR.. II. c. Bolton, of Columbia College,
New York City, states that on a recent oc-
casion, at 9 4. M, on entering his laboratory
he found a wooden table on fire, ignition
having been occasioned by the rays of the
morning sun, which fell upon glass spheri
Cal flask containing water. The glass served
as lens which concentrated the rays and
set fire to the wood. He alludes to the state
mcnt of Lactanitus "a. D. 3O0), who men
tons the use Of glass globes, filled with wa
ter, to be used in kindling fires; while Pliny
recommends the use of lens for the purpose
of cauterising the flesh of sick persons. AS
to the latter, one Mr.. Barnes, of Connecticut,
took patent in this country, some five years
ago, for the purpose suggested by Pliny. In
respect to fires occasioned by lenses doubt
less there are many examples. 1t is well
known that vessels at sea have been set Oh
fire by the bu!ls-eye glasses used to admit
light to between decks. These glasses were
formerly made convex on one side, thus
forming powerful lenses. In consequence of
the loss of property and danger their use has
been discontinued, and thick plates of glass,
flat On both sides, have been generally sub
stituted. Captain Scoresby and DR.. Kane
used to astonish the natives OF the polar
regions by taking blocks of clear ice and
cutting them into the form of lenses, with
which they instantly kindlcd fires.

ABOLITION, which was once stigma of in
etfable contempt, is become the law OF the
civilized world. Brazil, which has long
mcditated the step, has at last placed herself
unequivocally in the way of the gradual
emancipation of her slaves. Not only has
the Emperor signed an act of the Legislature,
which declares that all future children of
slaves shall be free, but it is determined that
the early emancipation of adult negroes shall
take place. fund being raised to compcn-
safe the planters, some of whom have al
ready freed those whom they have held
in bondage, and given them fair start
IN the race Of free labor The humane poll
ccy in Brazil contrasts swith the refusal OF the
Spanlards to free 60O, 900 slaves in Cuba, un-
I'll the services of larger number of white
emlgrants have been secured. In Brazil
there is one slave to every five OF the free
population, and their ordinary labor OF coffee
kind.

sleeping Under the Clothes.

There is reason to believe that not few
Of the apparently unaccountable cases OF
scrofula among children proceed from the
habit of sleeping with the head under the
bed clothes, and 50 inhaling air already
breathed, which is further contaminated by
exhalations from the skin. A good nurse
will be careful to attend to this. 1t is an I'M
portant part, SO to speak, of ventilation. 1t
may be worth while to remark that when
there is any danger of bed sores, a blanket
should never be placed under the patient. 1t
retains dampness and acts like poultice.
Never use anything but light Whitney blank
cts as bed covering for the sick. The heavy,
impervious counterpane is bad, for the rea-
son that it keeps the emanations from the
sick person, while the blanket allows them
to pass through Weak patients are invaria-
bly, distressed by a great weight OF bed
clothes, which often prevents their getting
any sound sleep whatev-r.-lMiss Nightingale.

The Reputed Site of Babel.

The Rev. G. NJ. Gordon, writing in the
Church Missionary 1nteligencer, thus de-
scribes the reputed site of the Tower of
Babel
A high mound is surmounted by ruined
and unfinished tower of brick. the summit of
which is 235 feet above the plain. An ex-
animation Of the mound shows that it is COM
posed of the same elements as the mounds of
Babylon-masses of brick and rubbish, inter-
spersed with broken pottery. These bricks
are all Of them inscribed on one side with
cuneiform characters. The cuneiform is the
ancient Assyrian, and is supposed to be the
Oldest written language in the world. One
side, where excavations have been made, you
may see walls of brick ascending tier above
tier with mastery ambition. On another, all
is convulsion and disturbance-huge masses
of brick work, rent and overturned, yet, so
solid in their ruin that it is easier to pulverize
the brick than to separate it from the mortar.
One of these blocks rolled bodily to the foot
of the mound. Others are vitrified or fused
by a process which can be none other than
electricity or fire. Curiously enough the
Arabs have a tradition that it has been de-
stroyed by fire from heaven. The sides of
the mound are pierced with holes and strewn
with bones, which plainly indicate the lairs
of wild beasts. The view from the summit
at sunrise is distant and varied. The broad
sheet of the Euphrates winds for many
mile, until lost in the distance in the "sea-
like" plain. 1t is difficult to resist the con-
viction that Birs Nimrod is the Tower of
Babel, the Oldest ruin in the world. There
are those who Qike Mr.. Rich) believe it to be
the Tower of Belus, and regard it as part
of the ruin of Babylon, but prefer to hold
the older tradition. And, surely, it is, when
standing on ground like this, that the language
of the Scripture acquires vividness and
reality which rewards the toll of patient in
vestigation, and makes the privations of
travel forgotten; and a voice seems to breath
from the resting place of the prophets beside
these mighty rivers which is daily more heard
and felt, rebuking the sneer of the scoffcr
and the skeptic.

The PurlficattOn of Running Water.

Recent experiments have disproved the
long accepted notion, indorsed by DR.. Dod-
ling, DIR. Letheby, and others of equal au-
thority, that running streams, into which i'm
purities have been emptied, free themselves
of such in flowing a few miles. Locations
on several streams, where the flow was a
dozen miles or more without receiving any
sewerage additional to that of villages through
which they previously passed, were selected,
and the amount of organic matter destroyed
by oxidation was estimated. AS result of
these experiments it was shown that SO far
from sewerage. mixed with twenty times its
volume Of water, disappearing during a flow
Of ten or twelve miles, scarcely two-thirds of
it would be destroyed in flow of one hun
dred and sixty Eight miles, at the rate of one
mile per hour, or after the lapse OF week.
These results, obtained in New England
rivers, sustain the opinion of Sir Benjamin
Brodie, drawn from examination of Thames
river, that it is simply impossible that the
oxidizing power acting on sewerage, running
in mixtures with water over distance of
any length, should be sufficient toiremovc its
noyiOus quality. HiI III ii'4 o p asssf
