WHAT WE CALL TERRA FIRMA. -
The rivers of the sea, apart from the
astonishment and wonder which their
stupendous proportions must arouse in
the mind of the student of nature, pre-
sent themselves to us as "a subject of
paramount interest, when We consider
the part which they have played and are
still playing in the building up of the
topmOst layer of the solid earth crust,
in the perpetual changes OF climatic
conditions, in the distribution of veCe-
table and animal life over the surface of
our planet, and last but not least, IN the
recent advance of ocean navigation, by
which the inhabitants of the most dis
tant lands have been brought into close
intercourse with each other. The ero-
Sive action of currents constantly tends
to alter the cOniiguration of the coast
lines, by taking away land in one place
and depoSiting it elsewhere. Again,
immense quantities of sediment carried
by all the rivers of the world into the
sea are taken up by the currents and
spread over the bed of the ocean. &C.
ologists tell us that nearly all. if not all,
the dry land at present existing has at
one time been at the bottom of the sea.
an assertion confirmed by the fact that
the strata which compose some of the
loftieSt mountain ranges have evidently
been deposited i'll ages long past upon
the floor of the ocean, and still retain
the remains of the animals which dis
ported themselves in the seas of former
days. What we are still in the habit ot
calling terra firma" is proved by mod
ern observations TO be in constant mo-
ton, rising and falling like the heavine
breast of some mighty monster, whose
arms stretch far beneath the waves
BY the action of the subterraneou:
forces, as yet unexplained, vast areas Of
the earth-crust are depressed below Ol

the truth of the maxim, that there i:

TAKE CARE or THE FRUIT TREES.
Fruit was tolerated, TO some extent,
by our Puritan fathers, but only with
the express understanding that it should
take care of itself IIocd crops and
sowed crops had rights which everybody
respected, They were cared for aC sta
ted times and seasons but if fruit trees
received attention il was at the last end
of Il convenient time. Convenient times
are scarce. and so fruit trees were left
pretty much on their own resources.
Fashions change, and now we hear Il
good deal abort the culture of orchards.
Let us see whit good culture means.
Some trees are starved and some are
surfeited. y soil just right for wheat
is about right for fruit. Corn is gross

Do Not SLEEP On THE Floor

The late Canon Kingsley explained the
reason for this in a simple way which
will enable plain people to understand it.
He describes what he calls 1.-THE two
breaths' and their effects. The two
are, o f course, the breath taken in.
which ''iS, or ought to be pure air,
composed on the whole of oxygen and
nitrogen, with a minute portion of car

which, lis an impure air, to which has
been added, among other matters which

mic acid" He then points out that this
carbonic acid gas, when warm, is light
er than the air and ascends. and when
at the same temperature as common air
is heavier than that air and descends.

How Trees are struck by Lightning.

NJ. ColladOn saws The lightning al
WAYS, or most always, strikes the upper
branches, especially those that are most
elevated and most exposed to the 1ain
storm. From thence it descends thro'
almost the entire mass of branches TO
the main branches, and from these to
the trunk. These large branches, and
especially the trunk, being in general
much poorer conductors than the young
branches, the passage of the electricity
produces therein heat and repellent ef-
fects which lacerate the sap wood or the
bark. and sometimes scatter the debris
to some distance $50 feet and beyond
This is "a law that have aScertained by
very numerous observations. The tree
recently struck in Rue des Glacis de
Rive presents an interesting case, in
that it confirms this law.
1t is not very common thing in
France to see trees struck by lightning
III May, when their as yet young leaves
have little consistency. The tree now
under consideration was struck essen
tially on its chief branch, the highest
one by some inches. and situated on the
southwest side. The young leaves of
this summit and those of the branches
immediately beneath were neither dried
nor withered, but they were gashed in
part and broken into small fragments
and strewn over the surrounding earth.
In fact they had suffered from the effect
! of a violent conclusion of the air, like

y CLEVER TRICK.-The Jdgdit Mdu

exhibited by a native juggler at Joshida-
bdshi. The performance takes place in
4 small room about twenty-siX feet long
by twelve feet wide, half being allotted
to the spectators, who are admitted on
payment of the moderate fee of two
cents. Inc properties consist of Il
deal table and a sword, etc. After the
usual soui-stirring flourish on a drum
and samisen. a man and woman appear
from behind Il screen the man binds
the wOm8u'S head in Il cloth. and she
then kneels down close to the table, and
sideways to the spectators. The man

PORN MAKING IN BPIEF,

This leads TO large pen, from which
they are driven into u smaller one,
