POLdR EXPEDITION.

In the proposed British Polar Expedi-
ton, the plan of operations is simple, and
apparently such as will more certainly
than any other insure success. While
the German vessels ascend the eastern or
European coast of Greenland, and with
dogs or reindeers press on toward the
Pole, the English ships will ascend the
western coast Smiths Sound and press
into it, one vessel remaining as I depot
and reserve. Which it is by no means
q fact hattering to'American pride that
Americans will have no part in this latest
of the Polar expeditions, there is at least
some satisfaction in the reflection that it
is by a channel that American sagacity
and enterprise first indicated as the easi-
est pathway to the Pole that our English
brethren press their quest. 1t would 'e
easy to predict that Captain Mares eXpe-
dition will succeed Yet the Dundee
whalers are unanimous in declaring that
not alone is Davis Strait comparatively
free from ice this year, but that from
Smiths Sound there has been running Il
current 50 strong that it can only have
proceeded from an open stretch of water
hundreds Of miles in length. This would
appear to guarantee the easy progress of
the vessels to a latitude most nortierly,
when it will only be a question Of sledg-
ing to the Pole. 1t wilInot be surprising
if this expedition discovers the Pole. Ii
not, the discovery can not be long de-
layed.

CURIOUS BENEvoLENcE.

A curious and interesting form of
benevolence was recently inaugurated
in the city of London, viz: the natural"
ization in England of the oral instruct
ion of the deaf and dumb by lip read
ing and articulate speech, The ingen-
uity of man has long been. occupied in
the effort to find some rational means
of teaching the deaf and dumb. The
deaf have no natural articulate inter-
jections they have only the power of
forming the sounds, but there is every
chance, as shown by daily pracs
tice, that they may eventually learn the
meaning conveyed in articulate sounds,
and acquire the power of initiating the
motions of the lips that produces them.
George Dalgamo, Scottish scholarre
siding at Oxford, published two hun
dred years since, book upon the pos
sibility of teaching the dumb to speak
His finger alphabet has been long in
use, but his other plans were entirely
neglected until taken up by the Able
de L'Epee in the 18th century. Mira
Giles are recorded of the dumb being
suddenly gifted with speech, the blind
with sight. What constaL-y and
patience may accomplish under the
new system, 1t is hard to say. AT all
events the greatest interest among ali
classes will attend the philanthropic eff
forts to place happiness within the
reach of many afflicted men and
women.

TANNING Corn. Professor Roberts,
of the Cornell University, made some
experiments in growing corn upon the
college farm last season, the result Of
which are valuable. He planted three
plots of three. sixteenths of an acre each
with corn, and thinned the hills in one
lot to three stalks, another to four
stalks to hill the third was not thin
ned. The first plat yielded at the rate
of one hundred and sixty bushels, the
second one hundred and twenty five
bushels, and the third one hundred and
six bushels (of ears) to the acre. MIR.
Roberts states, as the result OF many
experiments prior to these, at the Iowa
Agricultural College, that the heaviest
crops of corn were made by growing
three stalks to a hill, and that two
stalks to hill will produce more than
five stalks. If every stalk produces an
ear, and corn is planted three feet apart
each way, there will be nearly one
hundred bushels of grain per acre. TO
grow maximum crops of corn, then, it
is only necessary to grow one ear upon
a stalk, and ears of such a size that a
hundred of them will make bushel of
grain. In view of this, it is strange,
that with so prolific grain as corn, a
yield of one hundred bushels to the
acre should be considered as something
almost impossible to be obtained.

Salt has frequently been proftably
used on farms. Near the sea coast,
where the air is saturated with the
salt sea breezes, it is not needed, and in
many cases is seriously injurious. But
In Englaod, surrounded by salt water,
farmers scatter salt over their farms at
the rate of two bushels per acre, and
experience favorable results in different
ways. It destroys the worms which
would be injurious, and aids in reduc.
ing vegetable matter IN the soil into
food for plants. This experiment
might also be tried on our farm.

SAaACITY OF THE PARTR1DGE.-In
stances of the sagacity Of the partridge,
woodcock and other birds have often
been related, But the most singular
illustration Of the deception practiced
by the first of these willy species to pro-
teet their young is given by Me-.
Henshaw, of the Government Survey,
west of the one hundredth meridian.
While riding through pine woods a
brood of cartridges, containing the
mother and eight or ten of about a week
old,was come upon so suddenly that the
feet of the foremost mule almost trod
upon them. The young rose, flew a
few yards, and, dropping down, were
10 an instant hid in the underbrush.
The mother meanwhile began some
very. peculiar tactics. Rising up she
fell. back again to the ground as if
perfectly helpless, and initiated the ac-
tions of wounded bird so successfully
that for moment it was thought she
really had been trodden upon. Several
of the men, completely deceived, att
tempted to catch her,! but she fut~
tered away. keeping just out of reach
of their hands until they had been en-
ticed ten or twelve yards off, when she
rose and was off like bullet. Her
tactics had successfully covered the re.
treat of her young.
