About Leaves Botanical Terms.

To many persons the terms used
by botanists, horticulturists and
gardeners, are unintelligible the fol-
lowing will Explain the meaning of
those expressions in general use:
Declduous means falling off, and is
applied to trees that lose their leaves
every fall, or more properly TO the
leaves. Evergreens do not lose their
foliage, and are not deciduous.
In botany, parasite is plant that
grows on another plant. To be more
particular, plant without the means
of providing nutriment for itself,
which obtains nourishmenr from
other plants to which 1t attaches
itself. An epiphyte is plant that
grows on other plants, but does not
penetrate their substances, or absorb
their juices, as moss, etc. In ento.
mology (the science which treats of
insects), parasites are insects which
eat the bodies or eggs of other in
sects. In zoology the term is APP
piled to animals which live on the
bodies of other animals-lice, etc.
Cryptogams are fowerless plants !;
dehiscent means bursting open; mar
ticula:e, applied to plants, etc, means
not iointed; epidermis is the outside
skin OF bark; corticle means belong
ing to the bark; cambium is the soft

place where anything is generated
or formed; monllitorm is with alter
nate swellings and contractions; pull
lulation means budding; pustule is
the cavity that contains seeds or
fruit; spores the seed or reproduc-
tive bodies of fiowerless plants; sto.
mates are little mouths or openings
on the under side OF leaves; tricho-
famous - branches divided into
threes; tubular is like tube; vesi.
Giles are hollow sacks resembling
bladders, zoospores are vitalized cells
OF seeds armed with filaments, and
having the power of independent
motion.
Ovate means egg-shaped. The
notchings in the leaves are termed
serratures. The leaves of the grape
are termed lobed, as the deep angles
make divisions, and they are round
lobed, acute pointed lobed, three
lobed, five lobed, etc., etc.

them. According to Boussingault,
some experiments made by M. eau
FAC Of Dagny gave the produce per
acre OF seed at Is cwts., qrs., IA lbs;
tie oil per acre, 275 lbs, being Is
per cent, and the cake 80 Der cent.
Next to poppy-seed oil, sunfower
oil burns longest of any in equal
quantities. The seeds vary in color,
being either white, grey, striped. or
black. From them is expressed a
palatable, clear, and flavorless oil, the
demand tor which in Russia is very
great. 1t is exported from st.
Petersburg at about los. Sd. the cwt.,
and is said 20 be extensively used,
like cotton-seed oil, after purifying,
for adulterating olive or salad oil.
In Russia a considerable quantity
is grown tor oil pressing. The plant
is largely cultivated in Kiels, and
Podola, eastward on the black soil
lands; the stalks are used tor fuel.
The manufacture of the oil, which
was formerly confined to the govern
ment Of Voroneje. has recently been
carried on in that of Saratov, and in
the town of that name there were in
1867 at least 30 oil presses. MIR.
Alexander Knobloch, OF Sarepta, has
one worked by steam power. The
seed is supplied by the peasants Of
the neighborhood. The production
in Russia in 1867 Including a few
other miscellaneous oil-seeds) was Of
ficially stated at $4,000 cwts. At
Voroneje 5000 to 5000 pools (of Sc
pounds) Of seeds are produced. In
Russia the seeds sell at about 40 CO.
pecks the pood, ORR roubles 60 CO.
pecks the chetwert; the oil at 81 to
4 roubles the pood. The following
practical instructions may be given
to produce the plant in perfection.
There is required light rich soil, as
unshadoWed by trees as possible.
TIE earlier the seed can be got in the
ground the better, say the end Of
September or the beginning Of DC.
to6er, as the crop will be ready to
harvest the latter part OF February,
which will be OF the greatest impor-
lance to growers. The necessary
quantity OF seed required for an acre
depends on the condition Of the soil,
and varies from 4 to 5 pounds; but
OF course it Is advisable to SOW lit
tie more than is actually wanted, to
provide against accidents. The seeds
should be drilled into the ground !;
the distance from row to row Is
inches; the plants to be thinned out
to 30 inches from plant to plant; and
the number OF plants at this distance
would be about 1000 per acre; at
Is inches from plant to plant 5000
per acre and at II inches from plant
TO plant $4,000. The produce varies
considerable, according to the state OF
the soil, the climate, and the cultiva-
tion that is employed but the aver
age quantity OF seed may be taken at
81 bushels per acre, and the yield OF
oil at a gallon per bushel.
Tie seed varies in relation of husk
to kernal from Al and 80 per cent. OF
the former to ~ to SO Of the latter,
and the percentage OF oil between
l64 and IS per cent On the aver
age, however, about Is per cent. OF
oil may be obtained by expression.

The Falk LAWS.

There are ominous signs in Germany
of renewed struggle over ecclesias6.
cal questions, and the storm, il IL breaks
ont ut all, will, a. . mater OF course.
be most violent in the Prussian Chan
Der Of Deputies. During the past Eve
or six years. since the Falk laws came
into operation, great changes have %.
Cured in the relations OF the Church
to the State in that country. In The
first place. Pope Plus TX. is dead, and
has been replaced by Pontif who il,
to say the least OF it, more ready and
willing to act in q conciliatory spirit
toward the Empire and it's rulers.
Second, the conduct OF the National
Church has not been such as to justify
those charges which were brought
against it so successfully shortly after
the French war. It has become some
what absurd to impute to the ultra
montana priesthood want of patriot
ism. and pablo opinion has long ago
declared against tho application Of che
Falk laws in their utmost rigor. An
other circumstance which should not
be forgotten is the practical failure Of
the attempt to raise o rival to the Papal
party in the creation OF an old Catholic
Church. These are all cogent reasons
for relaxation of the system establish
ed iu 1873, and for an abandonment Of
that policy toward the Prussian clergy
which was nearly allied to persecution
and was regarded in no other light BY
the champions and advocates of ultra
montanism. There has accordingly
prevailed among oil parties in the
kingdom An expectation that the Fslk
laws would be greatly modified. while
the members who sit in the Center Of
the House have been affecting to be-
lieve in total repeal of them. The
latest announcements of government
policy seem, however, to contradict
these sauguine anticipations, while, on
the other hand, . meeting OF the ultra
montanes has declared that nothing
will satisfy them exc, pt the complete
emancipation Of the Church from State
control. Prince Bismarck, for his
part. denounced the conduct OF tho
ultramontane party in his late skirmish
with the Reichstag very strongly, and
he is little inclined to stretch a point
in favor of concessions. So the session
begins with signs Of evil augury, -ei
threatens to produce once more v,'he-
ment struggle over the Falk laws q is
possible that it may even yet be- ave. s,d;
but the attitude assumed by the Ohal-
cellor is not encouraging for the cleri-
cal or church party. London Globe.

" Ticket, Ma'am!"

Tia melancholy man would pass an
hour or two at railway depot, he
would find in the eccentricities Of pas
sengers, specific for his malady. Sup
pose, for instance, he had witnessed
tho following scene, would ne not have
gone home with smiling face
A corpulent old lady was at the Lon
don Bridge Station, going down into
Sussex; she had a big bag and a small
one, and was busting through the gate
to reach the train, when the ticket col
lector called OUT
Ticket, ma'am! can't pass here till
l see your ticket"
" naint time," she replied.
Cant pass, can't pass
Il will pass"
Cant ma'am. The rules are very
strict"
"You will make me miss tho train
she shouted.
" Plenty of time, ma'am; train does
not go Tor fifteen minutes yet
She backed out, put down her bags,
aud after long hunt, she found the
key and opened the big one.
Article after article was taken ont
and lail aside, but she could not find
the ticket. The smaller one was sub
mitted to the same treatment, the old
lady all the while growing to herself;
and when ten minutes had slipped
away, she looked up and inquired,
What ticket do you want?"
"Your railway ticket, of course he
replied.
why, l had that in my hand all the
time, you impudent fellow" she ex-
claimed, as she hustled the things into
the bugs.
Then why didn't you show it,
ma'am?"
"Then why didn't you say railway
ticket. sir? You want to understand
that there are hundred different kinds
of tickets, sir; and if you ever stop me
again, I'll go to The head man Of the

There's Nothing New Under the
Sun.

The Popular Science Monthly for June
publishes extracts from the address of
Chief Justice DAILY, before the Geo.
graphical Society, in which he says:
From one of these books. compiled after
the manner of our modern encyclope-
dias, and the compilation of which is
shown to have been made more than
two hundred years B. G., it has been
ascertained, what has long been sup
posed, that Chaldea was the parent land
OF astronomy; for it is found. from this
compilation and from other bricks, that
the Babylonians catalogued the stars,
and distinguished and named the con-
stellations; that they arranged the
twelve consultations that form our
present zodiac to show the course of the
suns path in the heavens; divided time
into weeks, months and years; that
they divided the week, as we now have
it, into seven days, six being days of
labor, and the seventh q day of rest, to
which they gave name from which
we have derived our word Sabbath, -
and which day, as day OF rest from all
labor OF every kind, they observed as
vigorously as the Jew or the Puritan.
The motion OF the heavenly bodies and
the phenomena of the weather were
noted down, and connection, as have
before stated, detected, as NJ. de Per-
Vile claims 10 have discovered, be-
tween the weather and the changes OF
the moon. They invented heavenly
bodies, the water clock to measure
time, and they speak in this work OF
the spots on the sun, II fac. they could
only have known by the aid of tele-
scopes, which it is supposed they pos
sessed, from observations that they
have noted down on the rising of Venus
and the fact that Layard foucd a crystal
lens in tho ruins of Nineveh. These
"bricks" contain an account of the
deluge, substantially the same as the
narrative in the Bible, except that the
names are different. They disclose that
houses and lands were then sold, leased
and mortgaged, that money was loaned
at interest, and that the market garden

The present generation is certainly
an actively progressive one in projects
of material Improvement. In addition
t. the great enterprises that have been
made facts accomplished, we may note
the progress on this continent of the
suspension bridge which is to connect
New Notk and Brooklyn. and of the
tunnel which is to unite New York and
New Jersey. AID the inception of not
one alone, but of two canal projects
across the Isthmus of Panama. On
the other side Of tho ocean, the present
vast undertaking is tunnel under the
Straits of Dover, which shall do away
with the Calais packet passage so
famous for sea-sickness, and put Eng
land in new and immediate railroad
connection with the Continent. The
preliminary workings have had the
most satisfactory results, the construct
ors have sunk their shaft to the sta
i'll which they propose to bore, and
promise that in three or four years they
will complete the task. Probably ten
years would be nearer right, but what
an accomplishment it will be if oven in
that period the Londoner shall be en-.
abled to take through palace-car for
Paris, Berlin, st. Petersburg or Con-
stantinople. What would an English
man of the reign of good Queen Bess
or even of George the Third have said
to u prophecy like that? Truly the
world moves.
