SPEcULATIoN.-SInce tho creation, Il is
estimated that q. .oG0. 600. .000, ,000, 900 have
lived on the earth. This sum divided by
27, S64, 900, the number Of square miles,
gives ,3l4, 522. 0s6 to q square rod, and s.
to a square foot. Suppose q square rod be
divided into IL graves. each grave would
contain 100 persons. But this Is specula-
tion, and of no benefit to the ], 900. .000, 900
people that now exist. 500. 900. 900 Of whom
are invslids, 80, ,oOo, 900 dying each year
What they most want are the facts concern
ing DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines. For
years his Golden Medical Discovery has been
the standard remedy for the cure Of allscrof-
uious, throat and lung diseases. While for
over quarter of a century. DR.. Sages Ca
tarrh Remedy has been unrivaled as . pos
itive cure for catarrh. The testimony OF
thousands of ladies has been published certi-
flying that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
positively cures the diseases aud weaknesses
peculiar to women. For full information.

A NEW THEoRY OF DEw.-Prof. Stock
bridge of the Amherst Agricultural College.
has been msking some experiments rs TO tho
origin Of dew aud has arrived at Conclusions
somewhat different from those generally ac--
cepted. It is usually held that dew is the
moisture of the air condensed through con-
tact with objects Of lower temperature, and
that it does not form till radiation has re-
duced the Temperature of the earth. Prof.
Stockbridge asserts, however, that dew is the
result of condensation by the air Of warm
vspor which rises from the soil, aud he en-
bodies the result Of his experiments in these
proposition: l. The vspor Of the soil 10 much
warmer at night than the air, and would be
condensed BY it. 2. yapor from the soil is
soou diffused aud equaliIed in tho whole st-
mospheIs, but in the largest proportion when
evaporation is taking place near the surface
of the soil, and, other things being equal.
plants nearest the earth have the most dew.
8. Dew under hay cocks. boards, and other
like objects on the ground could receive it
from no other source.
