Our Ships at Sea.


How many of us have ships at sea,
Freighted with wishes, and hopes, and fears
Tossing about on the waves, while we
Linger and wait on the shore for years,
Gazing altar through the distance dim
And sighing, will ever our ships come in
We sent them away with laughter and song,
The decks were white, and the sails were
new,
The fragrant breezes bore them along,
The sea was calm and the skies were blue,
And we thought as we watched them sail
away
OF the Joy they would bring us some future
day.
Long have we watched beside the shore
To catch the CLEAN OF coming sail,
But we only hear the breakers roar
Or the sweeping night winds dismal wall,
TIL our cheeks G. ow pale, and our eyes grow
dim,
And we sadly sign, will they ever come in ?
Oh! poor sad heart, with its burden of cares,
Its aims defeated, its worthless life
That has garnered only the thorns and the
tares,
That is scared and torn in the pitiful strife
Afar on the heavenly golden shore
Thy ships are anchored for ever more.

Rain.

Rain is the moisture of the atmos-
phere condensed into drops large enough
to fall with perceptible velocity to the
earth. The water thus precipitated is
quite pure, except in so far as it absor BIS
a slight quantity of air, carbonic acid
and ammonia from the atmosphere.
The formation of rain is in general a
continuation of the processes of the for
nation of clouds, dew and fog. The
deposition of moisture depends upon the
cooling OF the atmosphere, but concern
ing the precise process by which that
cooling is affected erroneous views have
been widely entertained. In general it
may be said that the temperature of a
given mass of warm moist air is low
cred in the ordinary course of atmos-
pheric phenomena by one or other of
the following four processes: l. By
radiation to the cold sky. 2. By radia-
tion to neighboring masses of cold air
or the cold ground. 3. By mixture
with cooler air. A. By the absorption
of heat in the expansion of ascending
air. The fourth of the above processes
is doubtless by far the most efficient Of
all in lowering the tempe Iature and
producing rain.

The Deep Sea.

Some interesting results OF recent
deep sea explorations were concisely
stated in q late lecture at the royal in
stitution, London. Four-seventh, or
nearly e-fourths of the surface of
the earth, are covered by sea. The
average depth Of the ocean is, accord
ing TO the latest calculations of Otto
Krummell; about 1877 fathoms, or
somewhat over two miles. The great
est depth known to exist was discovered
by the United States ship Tuscarora,
near The Kurile islands, in Northeast
Pacific. 1t is 4,655 fathoms, or about
five and one quarter miles. The high
est mountain existing is of about the
same height as the deepest sea is deep.
Mount Everest is 1888 tathcms in
height. So Insignificant, however, is
the total volume of land raised above
sea level in proportion to the vast cav
ity occupied by the sea, that were this
cavity emptied of its water, the whole
of the land now above sea level could
be shoveled into it twenty-five and a
half times over before it would be filled
up to the present sea level.
Nevertheless, the depth of the oceans,
great as it is, is as nothing in compare
son with the vastness of their extent of
surface. As MIR Croll has said, the
oceans in relation to their superficial
area are as shallow as q sheet of water
100 wards in diameter and only an inch
in depth. The sides of theocean basins
are not at all steep. They are mostly
so little inclined that an ordinary loco
motive engine could run up them in a
straight line with ease. Their inclina-
tion is usually not more than three or
four degrees or less. Around some
oceanic islands the slope is greater. The
steepest slope known is at Berm,lssa,
where there is an inclination ct nearly
twenty degrees from the edge of the reef
to 1000 fathoms- There are no such
things as mountains and valleys or the
deep sea bottom. Animals cannot sip
down against their will into the depths,
but must move deliberately into them,
and travel long journey to reach them.
The pressure exerted by the superin-
cumbent water at great depths is SO
great as to be almost beyond concep-
ton. It amounts roughly to a ton on a
square inch for every 1000 fathoms Of
depth, about l66 times as much as the
pressure to which people are subjected
on land. At the greatest depths the
pressure is about four tons and hal
Vast though this pressure is, it Is, how
ever, only about one-eighth of that
which Professor Abel and Captain
Noble have measured, as produced lii
their experiments on gunpowder. The
deep sea animals, being completely per-
meated by fluids, are probably no more
conscious of pressure acting upon them
than we, and, so long as they move
slowly from one depth to another, are

News from Home.

When the neart is very dreary,
Growing sadly over-weary
OF the bonds that keep it lonely
Like bird in wicker dome,
Comes messenger most CHEEKY,
Though it be letter only,
For mother wrote that " dearie,"
And it bringeth news from home.
News from home :" oh, welcome letter
Strong in power to break the letter
That encircles her who labors
Far away from all held dear.
Yet it proves the proverb truly
Tells that Joy and grief are neighbors,
For from eyes that grow unruly
Slowly wells glist'nina tear.
Present sorrows wings are taking,
Pleasant memories are waking,
And LIES sun bedecks with splendor
Her whom duty called to roam;
Yet the sympathy that's hidden
In those lines 30 sweet and tender
Makes the tears rise up unbidden
O'er the welcome " news from home"

By a comparison of these figures it
will be seen that. as flesh producer.
the potato stands first; while the sugar
beet comes last, containing rather less
than half the amount of nitrogenous
matter found in the former. AS pro-
ducers of fat, potatoes stand first, closely
followed by carrots and beets, while
turnips and mangolds are far in the
rear. 1t therefore appears that were
the nutritive qualities of roots the only
basis for our decision, potatoes would
be pre-eminently the best root food for
all classes of animals, and that next to
them stands the frequently despised
carrot. But there is an item in guiding
to the selection of the best root crop,
if possible, of far more Importance
than the amount of beef and fat
forming elements it contains, namely,
the cost of production, and hence
the market value per pound to the nu-
triment they furnish. Experience mas
fully demonstrated, that, in regard to
its yield, the ease with which it is cul-
tivated, and its freedom from disease
and insect pests, the sugar beet far sur
passes all other roots, and when it is
taken into consideration that in nutri-
tive qualities it is only surpassed by the
potato and carrot, both of which are
greatly inferior to it as producers, and
far exceed it in the cost of cultivation,
it must be conceded that the sugar beet
is, all in all, much the most profitable
root we can grow, and is suitable alike
for young growing animals, fat cattle,
horses, mich COWS; and even sheep and
swine might advants geously be treated
to an occasional meal of these palatable
and nutritious vegetables.
