Corn in England.

The N. Y. Tribune contains the fol-
lowing: It would be strange indeed if
we should be indebted to England for a
variety of corn hardy enough to resist
severe frosts. A statement is, however,
published in the English papers that
IS Cobbett's thousand-fold acclimated
Indian corn " has been successfully
adapted to the cool and variable climate
of Englsnd, in which heretofore our
corn could not be grown or ripened.
William Cobbett will be remembered as
the English Liberal agitator who for
some time had his residence upon Long
Island. His son, William Cobbett, has
long been endeavoring to introduce the
growth of corn into England, and now
it seems he claims to have succeeded.
We learn that upwards of three acres of
this acclimated corn is now growing at
Hounslow, near London, and that it
has successfully withstood some severe
frosts with great hardihood, and is now
very promising. IF our neighbors in
the East have really produced a frost
proof corn so prolific as it is made to
appear by the sounding title given to it,
and which we have quoted, it will go TO
shake our faith in our permanent de-
pendence upon Europe as market for
our surplus crop of this cereal, and, on
the contrary, cause us to look thlther
for supply of seed of so valuable q
plant. But we are somewhat doubtful
as to the truth of this statement.

The Largest Vaulted Roof in the
World.

The largest vaulted roof in the world
is claimed by Vienna-that belonging
to the great Exposition building. It is
dome of st. Paul's, in London eight
times the area of the dome of st.
Peters, and seven times that of st.
Sophia, at Constantinople. This miracle
of architectural skill is 36O feet in
diameter, 1,O89 feet round, and stands
on a ring of thirty columns 36 feet
apart around the circumference. With
in the ring of columns there is no sup
port. The upper dome, 100 feet in
diameter, admits light by series of
windows 40 feet high and 10 feet wide,
between thirty columns which carry the
upper dome. The slope of the cone is
80 deg, and the length of the slope on
all sides is 200 feet. The roof is formed
of $50 iron plates, tapering uniformly
upward from the circumference to the
apex OF the cone. They are riveted like
the plates of a ship.

A Farmers Boy.

Over fifty years ago youth working
on farm asked his father to give him
money enough to buy gun. The old
man could not spare it; but the boy,
nothing daunted, found an old piece of
iron about the place, and in the course
of time contrived to make a gun-barrel
out of it, with the very meager facilities
afforded by country blacksmith s shop.
He had not the materials to make lock
and stock, so he walked to the nearest
town and traded for the necessary at
tachments, and was encouraged by the
smith for having made so good shooter.
This gave him the ambition to make
another; so he went to cutting out
grindstones from the native rock to
raise the money for gun materials, and
in short time there was a considerable
demand for guns of his make. During
the French war with Prussia he was
called upon to furnish guns for the
army, and in less than eight months he
made and delivered to the government
of France rifles of particular pattern,
costing IS, 900, 900, which amount was
duly paid. The same man furnishes
rifles now for the United States, South
America, Rome, Spain, Egypt, and
Japan. The farmers boy who wanted
a gun is Eliphalet Remington, of lion,
n. Y. His mandatory covers four
acres of ground, and he employs !, 200
men. Not satisfied with this achieve
ment, he has recently completed sew
ing machine, which is reported to rep
resent the latest and most perfect ad-
vance in the improvement of this i'm
portant adjunct of domestic economy.
This is the type of a boy who, when
there is not way, makes way for
himself

consisting of thousands of men who had
solemn1y sworn to stand by each other
and avenge their wrongs. He men
toned several mysterious assassinations
which had recently taken place, and
declared that they had fallen by the
hand OF the avenger; and that the
brotherhood had dagger for every
man who harmed one of its members,
He said he would not threaten, but he
would say, in all kindness, to his
Majesty and his Ministers, that, if he
suffered, their fate would assuredly be
the same as those he had mentioned.
AS he said this, he was looking di-
rectly at the King, and, noticing that
he was affected, he proceeded to say:
"But, if your Majesty would spare
the lives of few men, you might
oblige the hearts of many and your
Majesty viii find that those who are so
bold and daring in mischief can, if par
doned and received into favor, perform
eminent service for the state"
The weak monarch was frightened at
Blood's revelations, though they were,
in all probability, false; and the fear
of violence, and the hope of gaining the
favor of the powerful faction Blood was
supposed to control, induced him to deal
very leniently with the criminal. True.
he was returned to prison; but COM
Portable quarters were assigned him,
and his restrictions gradually removed,
until finally he was fully released, all
proceedings against him dismissed, and
he was even granted large estates in
Ireland. His influence with the King
became very great, and he soon took up
his residence in London, and was ad-
mitted to the best society, where he was
courted and fattered because of his IN
duence with the Crown.
He died in 1890, leaving property
valued at $3.50, 900. All his accom-
plices in the great crime suffered death.

BIG HoME-STRETcH.-" I conversed, I"
says a writer, ''with a racist to-day.
He told me how he won race in New
Haven. For four weeks he mixed soft
rubber with the horses oats, and every
day he hitched that horse to post and
opened a blue cotton umbrella in his
face, making him pull pack, stretching
his neck awfully. Then when he shut
his umbrella the horse would stop pull
ing, and his neck would resume its
original length. He got the horses
neck very elastic, and on the day of the
race, as his and other horses were on
the home-stretch, side by side, just at
the finish, the driver struck this mans
horse blow behind his ears, and his
neck shot out almost rod, winning the
race by a neck. It is said to be the
biggest home stretch on record"

Beautiful Incident.

A gentleman relates that many years
ago he was on a visit to the Isle of
Man, and during his walks he strolled
into the churchyard, where repose the
bodies of many faithful and humble
Christians. Near grave in a corner
of the churchyard he noticed lady
with little girl (the latter about II
years of age) to whom she was relating
the story of the Dairyman's Daugh-
ter" whose remains lay. beneath their
feet. AS the lady proceeded with the
narrative he observed the little girl lift
up her eyes filed with tears, and heard
her say that she would try and be as
good as the dairyman's daughter. At
ter planting a beautiful lily on the
grave they walked away. The gentle
man, upon making inquiry, found that
the lady was the Duchess of Kent and
the little girl her daughter. The latte
is now Queen of England.

The Warmth of Clothing.

The London Medical Record says
that DR.. Won Pettenkofer, in a careful
study of this subject recently published,
has pointed out that the permeability
of stuffs to air is a condition of their
warmth. Of equal surfaces of the fol-
lowing materials, he found that they
were permeated by the following relative
quantities of air, the most porous flannel,
such as is used ordinarily FOR clothing,
being taxed at 100; flannel, 100; linen
of medium fneness, So; silk, 40 buck
skin, So; tanned leather, L chamois
leather, 81. Hence, if the warmth of
which it keeps out the air from our
bodies, then glove-kid must be 100
times warmer than flannel, which every
one knows is not the fact The whole
question, then, is resolved into that of
ventilation. IF several layers Fof the
same material be placed together, and
the air be allowed to permeate through
them, the ventilation through the Sec
ond layer is not much less than through
the first, since the meshes of the two
form system of continuous tubes of
uniform diameter, and the rapidity of
the movement of the air through these
is affected merely by the resulting fric-
tion. Through our clothing, then, there
passes SGr0am OF air, the amount OF
which, as in ventilation, depends upon
the size of the meshes, upon the differ
ence of temperature between the exter-
nal and internal atmosphere, and upon
the velocity of the surrounding air.
Our clothing, then, is required not to
prevent the admission of the air, but to
regulate the same SO that our nervous
system shall be sensible of no move
ment in the air. Further, our clothes,
at the same time, regulate the tempera-
ture of the contained air, as it passes
through them, SO that the temperature
of the air between the clothing and the
surface of our body averages 81 deg. to
Sc deg. Fahrenheit. The Microscopic
property of different material used for
clothing essentially modifies their func-
tions. This property varies with the
different materials; wool, for instance,
takes up more water than linen, while
the latter takes up and gives off its wa
terry contents more rapidly than the
former. The more the air is displaced
by water from the clothes, the less will
be their power of retaining the heat !;
in other words, they will conduct the
heat more rapidly, and hence we are
quickly chilled by wet garments.
