the hottest part of the equatorial ocean,
tbe maximum temperature for the year
was IS deg. The greater GOODNESS of
these tropical islands was, of course, due
to the rapid evaporation of the equato-
rial seas around them, and the fact
demonstrates more palpably than even
Dr. Won Pettenkoffer' costly apparatus
..the hygienic value of evaporation for
the cooling of our body"
It is, of course, understood that the
processes of evaporation in our mid
summer, life-giving as they are, can
only be maintained by judicious out-of-
door exercise, in bodies kept Clearly
and properly clad and fed. To enable
the body to supply the moisture to the
skin requisite for such refreshing evap-
grafton, the pores of the skin must be
kept open and its tissues nourished with
good animal and vegetable food, the
latter being especially needed, with fruit,
to furnish moisture; and the clothing
must be of kind not to retard respi-
ration or to unduly check the flow of the
superfiuous heat from the skin.-PAaa-

An Old Church.

The Gloria Del, or Old Swedes'
Church, in Philadelphia, the 181st an
niversary of which was celebrated re-
Gently, is one of the most interesting
of the few pre-revolutionary structures
that have not succumbed to the icono-
elastic spirit of modern enterprise. 1t
was dedicated July 2, 100, and was
then regarded as masterpiece of ar
chitecture. Alterations since made
have not materially altered its original
design. 1t is cruciform, with shelving,
peaked roof, in which is perched q
quaint little belfry. There is a nave,
chancel and TRANSCRIPTS, and beneath the
chancel floor are several tombstones,
bearing date from 1908 to 1774. The
front is of black marble, and was made
in Sweden in 100, as were also the two
carved wooden cherubs, with fat, red
cheeks, that adorn the front of the
choir gallery.

THE NEW MOON.

o fair young crescent, traced in fame
Upon the western sky,
] meet you face to face, and claim
Your happy augrry.
Good fortune while you wax and wane,
myth of childish lore
MY heart still keeps: tonight fain
Would be child once more.
Along the gray horizons rim
Lie clouds as black as night,
While Frightening through the twilight dim
CLEANS out your arc OF light.
o A1ooni not vain methinlSs we hold
Your promise, for we know
Your Swallowed disks half ring of gold
With full orbed night shall glow.
And as, o Moon, your silent call
The great sea tides doth draw,
Life's tidal waters rise and fall
Obedient to their law,
Why should doubt and fear? One hand
Alone doth hold and guide,
And so upon the shore astrand
await the incoming tide.

EFFECT OF LIME ON THE SoIL.-Lime
decomposes organic matter and helps tie
production of the nitrous fermentation.
1t also dissolves silicates of potash AID
frees the potash from its insoluble eombi-
nations. It also provides the crops direct
ly with lime, of which nearly all of them
contain considerable quantities. It only
acts as it is held in solution in the water
in the soil, and as the colder the water the
more lime is dissolved, the fall, winter or
spring is better time to use it than the
summer. Lime is most useful to crops
that contain much silica and require pot
ash, and corn, clover, wheat, rye and
grass are chiefly benefited by an applica-
zion of it. AS lime has the effect of de-
composing heterogeneous substances and
setting free any ammonia contained in
them it should not be mixed with fresh
manure unless in compost with abundance
OF earth, in which case the nitrogen is
changed to nitric acid, which combines
with some of the lime and the potash lb-
Grated from the soil.
