Bad News for Water Driukers.

The age of the earth is placed by some Mt five
hundred millions of years; and still others, of
later time, among then the Duke Of Argyll, place
it at ten millions None place il lower than ten
millions, knowing what processes have been
gone through. Other planets 20 through the
same process. The reason that other planets
differ 50 much from the earth is that they are in
a so much earlier or later stage of existence.
The earth must become old. Newton surmised,
although he could give no reason for it. that the
earth would at one time lose all its water and
become perfectly dry. Since then it has been
found that Newton was correct.
As the earth keeps cooling, it will become
porous, and great cavities will be formed i'm the
interior, which will take in the water. 1t is es-
timated that the process is now in progress, so
far that the water diminishes at about the rate
of the thickness of sheet Of writing paper each
year. At this rate, in G. 00O, 900 years the water
will have SINK mile, ard in l., ,O09 years
every trace Of water will have disappeared from
the face of the globe. The nitrogen and oxygen
in the atmosphere are also diminishing ali the
time. 1t is in an inappreciable degree, hut the
time will come when the air will be 50 thin that
no creatures we know could breathe il and live /;
the time will come when the world cannot sup
port life. That will be the period of old age,
and then will come death.

RAIN ON THE ROOF.
ny COATES KINNEY.

When the humid shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps In rainy tears,
lis q joy tn press the pillow
Of o cottage-chambcr bed,
And to listen to the patter
Of the soft rain overhead.
Every tinkle ON the shingles
Has an echo i'm my heart;
And Thousand dreamy flncies
Into busy being start
And q Thousand recollectIOns
Weave their bright hues into wool,
As listen To the patter
OF the rain upon the rOof.
Now in fancy comes my mother,
As she used IN. years asone,
To survey her darling ,lrramers,
Ere she left them for the dawn
oh l see her bending DER me,
As list TO this refrain
Which il played upon the shingles
by the patter Of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister.
With her wings and waving hair,

A serene, angelic pair =
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reprO"f,
As listen 10 the mnrnur
or the soft rain ON the rOOf.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And forget ], gazing On her.
That her heart was all untrue:
remember but To love her
With a rapture kin to pain,
And my heart : quick pulses vibraie
To the pattrr Of the rain.
There is naught in Art bravuras
That can work with such a spell
In the spirits pure, deep fountains.
Where the holy passions well,
As that melody IL NATURE,
That subduesl, subduiDg strain
Which is played upon the shingles

ToNATnEs.-A successful grower::of tomatoes
sown in a hot-bed in March, in rows three inches
apart, and with four or five seeds to the inch
When two inches high the plants were removed
to a later hot-bed, and set ont in rows five
inches apart and three inches in the row. This
gave them that stout, thick form denominated
'stocky.' second transplanting was made into
pots, which were then sunk in the hot-bed level
with the surface of the pots, and plenty of air
given to prepare them for open ground They
were set out in open ground late i'm MAY, three
moderately rich. 4 tablespoonful of superphos-
plate was put into each hole before receiving
the plant, and mixed well with the soil The
usual practice was of course observed to soak
the soil well in the pots with water before tax

How NOT To DROwN.-Men are drowned by
raising their arms above water, the unbuoying
weight of which depresses the head. Other ami
mails have neither motion nor ability to act in a
similar manner, and therefore swim naturally.
When man falls into deep water, he will rise
to the surface and will continue there if he does
not elevate his hands, If he moves his hands
under the water in any way he pleases, his head
will rise 80 high as 10 allow him free liberty to
breathe; and if he will use his legs in the act of
walking Tor rather walking up stairs, his shoul-
ders will rise above the water, 80 that he may
use less exertions with his hands, OF apply them
to other purposes. These plain directions are
recommended to the recollection of those who
have not learned to swim in their youth, as they
may be found highly advantageous in preserving

PLANETARY INFLUENCE.
Foolish Fears Of Faint Hearted Pceple-Tke
State Of the Case.

A statement has been going the rounds that
several of the planets would he at perihelOn, or
at point in their orbits where they are nearest
the sun, just about the present time, and people
have been led to believe that some catastrophe
must attend such Il condition of the solar sys-
ten. The statement, taken with the prophecy
of Professor GrimmeT, published in the Sunday
Herald, has had more effect the minds of SUI
perstitions aud timid people than is generally
supposed. In conversation with Prof. Swift
yesterday, a reporter of this journal learned
that the Professor had been visited by a number
of people, who were anxious To know whether
there was any truth in the prophecy, and VIII. tn
er the planets, if all were at perihelion ut once
would cause any dire results. lie informs them
that no such man Grimmer ever existed; that
ms prophecy was of no account, and further,
that no conjunction of the planets could have
any effect on the earth. In the whole history of
astronomy, no case was recorded where any ap-
preciable effect had been noticed from the con-
junction of planets, whether at aphelion or peri
helion. 1t is fact, that a number of the plan
cts ut periheliOn at very near the same time
as follows: Mars, May %, ISL; Jupiter, Sep
TENDER -, iSSO; Saturn, August, 1855; Uranus,
May -, 1s52; Neptune, October %, lsa2, and
the earth, January !, of each year. At present,
Saturn and Jupiter are in conjunction, and
Mars, Venus, and Neptune, are on the same side
of the sun, but instead of the nearest point in
their orbits, they are at the fartbest. They ap-
pear TO he near each Other but the appearance
is due to the fact that they are nearly in u
straight line, and the proximity is one in ap-
pearance only. Professor Swift is now engaged
in looking for the comet of 1872 which is ex-
pected to be in view before long. With his Gus
tomary enterprise the Professor proposes, if pos
sible, to be the first to catch glimpse of it.
The comet discovered by him last year, and
which bears his name, has excited a great deal
of interest in the astronomical world, il being a
noteworthy addition to the list of periodical
comets. The Science Observer. a journal devoted
principally tn astronomy, and published in Bos-
ton, in n late editorial on the comet, gives the
date an observations at which il was last seen.
Prof Swift last saw it January 2. At other OBJ
seryatOries the comet was seen follows: Ro-
man College Observatory, January 81; Stras-
burg and Geneva, January q; Padua, February
J. The comet will return TO perhelon in May,
lsS6, but, unfortunately, ut that time the condi-
tons will he unfavorable for observation, except
with the largest refraetors. In 1s91, it will
again return, and then be easily seen aud stud
led. The Warner Observatory is progressing
finely, and Rochester's astronomer will soon be
enabled to work in better quarters, and with
better Acknowledgment Herald.

INDOOR SAFETY IN TnUNDERsToRM.-Mr.
Latimer Clark, the eminent electrician, gives
the following useful hints rs to the safest posi-
tion people can occupy during q Thunderstorm:
A person reclining q sofa or bed at distance
from all the walls of the room could scarcely
suffer injury, even in a house struck by light
ming, but most absolute security is obtained by
lying an iron or brass bedstead of the form
known the Arabian bedstead, in which the
head is sumOuuted by iron erection supporting
curtains. A person lying or sleeping within
such bedstead could not possibly receive any
direct injury from lightning, even if the house
were to he demolished as his bedstead forms the
most complete lightning protector which could
well he devised. 4 wooden bedstead, placed
against the wall, does not afford any special Sc
curity. 1t may flash, the danger is past, the
crash of the thunder, however terrific il may
appear, being perfectly harmless.

SURPRISING THE MosQUITO.-PrOfessOr Fon-
tame gives some hints for abatins the mosquito
pest which is sure to come with tine advent of
sunny days. First, he says, mosquitoes require
water for the deposit of their eggs and the rear
ing of their larva or wiggle-tails Therefore,
all cisterns should be made close and covered
with close woven brass wire-netting to prevent
their laying in them. No old tubs, barrels, or
receptacles of water ought to he permitted, and
no stagnant pools left undrained within a mile
of any dwelling. Then they can be killed by
the cheapest and most abundant of all alkalies,
common lime. Therefore this ought TO be pourd
into every cesspOOl and spring. A pound of
strong line to every 100 gallons of sta,nant water
is sufficient. But even pound to 900 gallons
of n cistern of drinking water will kill them, al
though it will probably give the water an I'M
pleasant flavor and make it too "hard" for most
domestic uses.

RED CCRRANT JELLY.-Put your currants in
bell-metal kettle and scald them well when
cool press them through a sieve, getting ont all
the juice, but be careful not to allow any skin
or seeds to pass through the sieve; measure the
juice and put it hack again in the kettle and let
il boil hard for five or six minutes, skimming it
well then add, while ON the fire boiling, one
pound of sifted loaf sugar to every pint of jnice
stir till dissolved, and then it is done and ready
to put into the tumblers. 1t has the flavor of
the fruit, and is beautiful light color. II will

How To KEEP CoOL--'Durng the terrible
hot nights of the first weeks of july" said
gentleman who had spent several years in South
America, 81 slept comfortably and kept cool by
practieed in the torrid climate of South America
Just before retiring take cool bath, not vio-
lent but cooling, after which don your night
shirt without drying the body and lie down.
The result is astonishing-it is much like that
evening. The water absorbs the heat, and as
it evaporates throws the heat off with it, leaving
the body dry and cool. If the bath is not CON
venient, sprinkle the bed with water. If both
can be done, it is better. In South America the
beds are all sprinkled just before retiring, 9th
erwise il would be about impossible to obtain
any sleep. The receipt is one that is infallible,
rs know from long experience, and there is no
danger in il. "-IMilWdHkee Ne,rs.
