Dimensions of the Globe.

It's size has been determined, / have
no doubt, to within very few miles, in
what appears to us now very simple
manner. In the first place, every sec
ton of the earth Is bounded approx
mately byra circle, and mathematicians
divide all circles into 800 degrees.
Hence, if we can measure accurately the
1850 part of this great circle, and Il,
when We have got that measure out into
miles, we multiply it by 800, we get the
circumference of the earth, that is to say,
the whole distance around II. Then by
dividing this result by something q little
over 3(31416, the ratio of the circum-
ference of the circle to it's diameter) we
find out how far it is from one side of the
earth to the other. This gives us the
diameter Of the earth. As a result Of
long series of observations, It has been
found that degree measures 40 near as
possible on the average 1924 miles. 1t
can be stated in inchos, but it il near
enough for me to give as q first state
ment of result that it is about 694 miles;
and if you take the trouble to multiply
6sa miles, the average length Of one de-
gree, by $50 degrees, the number Of de-
grees that there are all around the earth,
You will find chat the circumference il
something Like $4,000 miles, and there
fore that the diameter Of the earth il
something like 5000 miles, Mark well
the words ION the average" In truth,
the earth ID fattened at the poles, 90 that
the length Of the degrees varies from the
pole to the equator; and hence the dia,
meter in the equatorial plane il in exr
cess Of the diameter from pole TO pole.
These two diameters, expressed in feet,
are as ollows; Equatorial, 4l,84s, $50;
polar, 4l,708,7l0.

The Consumption of Timber.


Lum berman's Gazette.
w ave now about 10000 miles of
Iailroad; the annual consumption for
ties or sleepers alone Is 100000, or
thirty years growth Of $4,000 acres. To
fence these roads would require at least
10000 miles of fence, which would cost
Sac, 000, 600 to build, and take at least
$l5, 200, 900 annually to keep in repair,
We have 10000 miles of wire, which re-
quires in its putting up 100000 trees,
while the annual repairs must take 300,-
900 more. The little insignificant lucifer
match consumes annually in its manu-
facture 300, 900 cubic feet Of the finest
pine. The bricks that are annually baked
re quire 1000. 900 cords OF wood, which
would sweep the timber clean from
30, 900, 900 acres. Shoe pegs are quite as
important an article as matches or bricks,
and to make the required annual supply
consumes 100000 cords Of fine timber,
while the manufacture of lasts and boot
trees takes SOC, 900 cords of maple, beech
and birch and about the sameamount is
required for plane stocks and the handles
of tools. The packing boxes made In
the United States in 1874 amounted TO
$l2, 900, 900, while the timber manufac.
tured into agricultural implements, wsg-
ous, ETC., is more than 100000. The
farm and rural fences Of the country
consume an immense amount OF lumber
and timber annually, but as we grow
older as nation this consumption may,
and probably will, be reduced By the
more general use Of live fences and
hedges. Our consumption Of timber is
not only daily on the increase, but our
expectation Of timber il also rapidly ins
ereasing. Our slaves 30 by the million
to France annually; walnut, oak, maple
and pine to England, and spars and dock

Horse Physiognomy.
Epglisb ART pfapaz;ne.

1 EpBubn ATT ltagazfne.
His wellSshaped, delicate ears are
capable Of being moved separately in
every direction, and every movement is
full Of meaning and in sympathy with
the eye. The eye is prominent, full and
large, and placed lateraIly, so that he
can see behind him without turning his
head, his heels being his principal wea-
pons Of defense; his nostrils are large,
open and flexible, and his lips Heshy,
though thin and exquisitely mobile and
sensitive. The large, open nostriI is es.
sential to him, as horse breathes solely
and entirely through it, being physically
incapable Of breathing through his mouth
as valve in the throat actually pre-
cludes him from SO doing; hence the
mouth of horse, without bride in it
is opened only for purposes of eating or
biting, but never from excitement
or from exhaustion, like that of
most other quadrupeds, except the
deer species The lips are, per-
haps, even more characteristic; they are
his hands as well as part of his mouth,
and the horse and Others of his family
alone use them in this way. The OK, the
sheep, the goat, the giraffe above all,
and, in fact, we believe all graminivor-
GUS animals except the horse, either bite
their food directly with the teeth or grasp
and gather in with the tongue, which is
prehensile, and gifted with more or less
power Of prolongation; but the horses
tongue has no such functions, and, there
tore, no such powers, as the . services are
all performed in his case by his lips, and
no horseman who has let..a fayorite horse
pick up small articles of food from the
the palm of his hand can have failed to
be struck with the extreme mobility and
also the sensibility and delicacy of touch
with which the lips are endowed. Now,
all these physical characteristics are
patent without any knowledge of ana
tony TO any one who applies intelligent
observation to an animal which he sees
daily; but in pictures, both by medieval
and modern painters, what wonderful
libels on horse-nature do we perpetually
see! He is commonly represented as an
animal either with human or else with
small, piggy eyes, with blunt, solid
nose, with two small round holes for
nostrils, with an open, foolish mouth,
with long body like q bolster, straight
shoulders and round, shapeless legs, and
this not only in the case of the old Italian
masters, who seem to have lost, with the
loss of Crock tradition, all sympathy
with and appreciation of the horse, but
also in the case of English painters OF
eminence OF the present day in this horse
loving country, Let the reader, for in
stance, turn to heslsrge illustrated edi-
ion Of Tennyson's poems, and to other
books illustrated by leading artists, whom
it would be ipyidious to mention, and
then let him say whether the above des-
cription is an exaggeration of what ne
generally finds.
