case in point is afforded in the show held
by the Bath and Yves. of England Society

of the leading societies in the United

los. S3l. against S7.;l5 when last held at
the same place, in 1851. The exhibition
is open five days, the largest attendance
(j5,4}5) being on the fourth During the
intervening years between 1861 and 1874,
the exhibitions have been held ut points
less accessible to the public than Bristol,
or capable of accommodating fewer visi-
tors. and the attendance has therefore been
smaller. But if our observation is cor

How TO START A FIRE.-All house
keepers have sometimes realized the diff
Guilty Of lighting Il fire in Il still, damp
morning. when the chimney will not draw,
and vigorous blowing proves Intellectual.
Science explains the trouble as "caused by
difficulty encountered in overcoming the
inertia Of the long column of air in the
pipe or chimney. by the small column of
air that can be forced up through the in
tcrstices Of wood and coal, ut the bottom
of which the fire kindled.' This may be
remedied by first Ii hting a few bits of
shavings or paper placed upon the top;
thus. the heated air forcing itself into the
chimney and establishing there an up
ward current, the room i, kept free from
the gas OF smoke which is so apt to fill
the room, and the fire can then be light
ed from below with good success.

PORK RAIsING.-My own theory of pork
raising, based upon experience. observation,
and probably Il little philosophy of things,
if written for the benefit of others, would
be about as follows: During the hot
summer months | would feed very little
solid feed, such rs corn in the ear or I'M
cracked. l would keep hogs upon green
feed constantly, either grass. oats or rye,
and feed them ut regular intervals, once
or twice per day, upon mashed feed,
either shorts, chopped oats or rye, buck
wheat, etc, feed in troughs- When fed in
this way and at the same time allowed
access to water and shade, hogs will bear
crowding through the hot months, a very
good time if not the best, to take on flesh.
This puts them in the best of condition for
corn feeding, which should commence
about the first of September, when the new
crop is still soft and tender. Treated in
this way, hogs become probably us perfect
as any method could make them. Upon
the whole, too, | believe it the cheapest
and most economical COr. Gern1anton

Uses OF THE AoUARfAM.-Bu Of what
use, it may be asked, other than embel-
lishment. is the aquarium? The scientific
reader, knowing its value. will not require
an answer; but, to the unscientlfic, it
doubtless seems of small practical use to
spend time and money in gathering to-
gether Il few fish and plants, that their
growth and movements may be observed.
The answer is, first, its scientific value
Its influence would be to engender in the
thousands who would daily visit it a taste
for scientific knowledge and pursuits. In
seeing the objects it contained, people
would naturally find Il desire to know
something of them beyond what can be
learned by cursory observation, and thus
be led to scientific reading and scientific
education. Second it constitutes science
by itself, and therefore demands the same
encouragement that is given TO any other
one science. 1t is not vet half Il century
since Madame Jeanette Power began the
study of marine animals, by the aid OF
glass cases filled with water, in which she
confined them; still almost our entire
knowledge of aquatic zoology. having been
obtained through the aquarium, rests upon
it. \ striking result, recently obtained,
is ut least II partial settlement of the veXed
questions whether fish hear: the observa-
tons of Mr.. Henry Lee on the porpoise, i'll
the Brighton Aquarium, having determin-
ed that some fish certainly do hear.
In addition to these very cogent reasons
is the fact that the aquarium is Il never failing
source Of interest. The objects it presents
are, many of them, entirely new to human
! sight, and not u few are wonderfully beau
! titul. 50 great is the attraction of the
aquarium, that, wherever established rs ::
pccuniarv investment. it has never f;,ileC
to yield The most profitable results. Thus
the aquarium at Hamburg has proved an
immense pecuni;,ry success and that Il
Brighton. although beginning its existence
SO recently rs August, 1872, has never
thcless already made L gratifying return
to its proprictors.-From Popular Scisnc,
