The Science Of Forestry.

The Boston Globe says: The science
Of forestry is coming to press more
earnestly upon public attention as our
forests disappear under the wasteful
policy which has prevailed ever since the
country was settled, and in various direc-
tions effort is made to save what is left
and to-. repair, for the sake of future
generations, the losses already sustained.
Such an effort is that of the Middlesex
Fells Association; and from the same
locality there comes the appeal of Mr..
F. Rand for the planting of rock or sugar
naples. Mr.. Rand's plan is ''to take
these trees from the forest at q suitable
age for transplanting, and set them out
on the borders of highways, a row on
each side, say n hundred feet apart, or
with space enough to allow a fair view
of our beautiful New England landscapes
from the road. Let them be arranged
SO that the trees on the two rows may
not come directly opposite each other,
but have the trees on either side alter
nate with the trees OF the other side. In
twenty Of twenty-five years the average
of these trees would be of suitable size
to tap for sap, and meanwhile they would
have answered all the other purposes of
shade trees equally well or better than
others" The rock for sugar making,
is a beautiful, hardy, clean, and valuable
shade tree, and in addition is especially
valuable. Mr.. Rand estimates that the
cost of this enterprise would be not
more than 81 a piece for. the trees,
including the frame work necessary to
protect the young trees from browsing
animals; while the profit does not end
when the trees cease to produce sap, for
the wood is valuable for various articles
of manufacture and for fuel.

CARLYLE and Newton.

"F. w. B." sends to the London
Times the following authentic version
of the burning OF the manuscript of the
first volume of MI. Carlyle'ss "French
Revolution" given by Mrs. Carlyle
many years ago: "When Mr.. Carlyle
had completed the first volume, Mr.. J..
8. Hill called on him and stated that he
had heard he was engaged in writing the
history of the French revolution, adding
that he had himself intended to write on
the subject, and that he would be glad
to see what was already done, in order
that he might Judge of the a~dvisability
of commencing the work or not. MI.
Carlyle readily lent his manuscript /; but
it happened shortly afterward that MI.
Mills cook had occasion to bake some
cakes, and finding the precious manu-
she might turn it to good account, and
accordingly, partly as fuel and partly as
lining for the cake tins, she used up the
whole of the manuscript. "Mr. Carlyle
never keeps notes" said Mrs. Carlyle,
"but gets all his materials ready, works
till he has everything in his head and
then winds it out like silk from a reel"
Mortified at the accident Mr.. Mill and
NILS. Taylor Caueu ou JIG SIoa' HiSDo-
rian. "Such a thing never happened
before" said Mr.. Mill. "Yes, though"
answered Mr.. Carlyle, "Newton and
his dog Diamond" "True, but New
ton went mad over 1t" swell, well, we
shall hardly be SO bad as that" said Car
lyle; and he soon afterward began again
at the beginning, scarcely saying a word
about his misfortune at the time, but
afterward, as the work progressed, grum-
bling about it often"

SOME curious astronomical calculations

SOME curious astronomical calculations
have been presented by Mr.. @. B. War
ring before the Poughkeepsie Society OF
Natural Science, a few of which possess
general interest. If we suppose the dis
lance between the earth and the sun
(about n~inety-two and one-third millions
Of miles) to be reduced to o dozen rods or
more, the size of the two globes to be re-
duced in the anne proportion, the dis
tance from the earth to the nearest fixed
star would still be, on the same scale,
about two thousand miles, and to tho
more distant ones it would be not less
than eighteen. millions of miles. From
those more distant stars the light must
travel for sixty centuries before it reaches
us, and yet light travels SO fast that ;
would circle round the earth more than
seven times in q single second of time.
If the sun could be reduced, in imagina-
ton, to LOO of an inch in diameter, the
earth would then be of microscopic size,
about lilo, 600 of an inch, but the dis
lance between it and the nearest star
would not be less than three miles. If
the sun were o hollow sphere and the
earth were placed at its center, with the
o revolving around it in its estab-
hshed orbit, there would still be d dis
lance of 200, 600 miles from the lunar Or
bit to the surface of the solar sphere. II
these relations of size and distance ore
in~conceivable, the forces which compel
the planets to move in their elliptical or
bits are quite as much beyond our com
~prehension. A bar of steel three inches
square will sustain a weight of $40 tons,
but a bar having a section of IA square
inches would sustain 8,640 tons, which,
upon q railroad, would require S64cars to
support it, and % locomotives to trans
port it. To defect the moon from q
straight course into its present orbit, or,
what is the same thing, to retain it in its
present course, would require the united
strength of not less than eight steel bars,
each hundred miles square, or, more
accurately, a single bar whose section is
81, 800 square miles-more than large
enough to cover the States of New York
and Ohio together. IF this force were
represented by a web of steel wires, each
one-quarter of an inch in diameter,
stretched from the earth to the moon,
they would be distributed over our earth
on the moon side only six inches apart
and If q similar web were stretched from
the earth to the sun, the force exerted be-
tN cen these two bodies would require the
wires to cover n side of the earth as
close together as blades Of grass upon 9
lawn.

THE project of a railway between the
north and south of Australasia is now
fairly under way, and will reduce the
time between England and Sydney by
thirty days. The principal section Of
the northern part is already completed.
1t is 312 miles long, and run between
Brisbane and Rome. Between the latter
point and the Bay of Carpentaria there
are yet 1877 miles to construct. The line
will connect with that between Roe
hampton and Emeraldtown. There are
still gaps to fill between Brisbane and
Sidney, and Sidney and Adelaide. The
road will link together the principal
cities and most peopled regions OF the
great island, with the exception of those
in the west. A syndicate has been en-
powered by the Legislature of Queens
land to construct all the road within its
domains, and will receive 1000 acres of
public land for each kilometer or three
eighths of q mile built.

The Story Of a Blighted Life.

There stands In Sharon (near the
Easton ine), half a mile from any dwell
ing house, and a quarter of a mile from
any road, in an old COW pasture ON the
southern slope of q hill, surrounded by a
few birch trees and scrub oaks, a littlo
shanty. One small window looks out
upon the meagre scene. The house con-
talns but one room /; an old cook stove in
n orr ; in the further end of the
room is a bunk containing some straw
and a few old ragged bedclothes (; shelf
that serves the purpose of a table, and on
1t are some pieces of crockery and tin
ware (; an old K and Ratchet leaning
against the smoke-begrimed wall, and o
well worn Bible were all the room con-
tanned, a. we one day visited it and lifted
the log that was braced against the door
and looked within.
This building has been for many years
h house and home of a r~ecluse. He is
now nearly eighty years Of age. In early
life this eccentric man conceived the idea
that he had a.call to preach the gospel (;
he, however, was never recognized as o
preacher, but was given permission to
"exhort." Like many a young man be-
fore him, he in early life fell desperately
in love with a fair and comely damsel /;
his love grew into a passion, and he
sA1died how he should woo and win her ;
but the time and place he chose to ask
her to become a partner of his joys and
sorrows were, as the sequel proved, most
unfortunate for its success. Seated OPP
posite to her at the tea-table of o clergy
Iaan, and in the presence of the family,
no offered himself to her and asked her
to become his wife. She was mad, and
showed the fury of a woman scorned.
She uspurned the offer, and from that
day to this he has avoided the society Of
women, and has always kept as far from
them as possible, and has sought society
where none intrude. For over half o
century he has lived alone, and his Bible
has been his constant ~solace, companion,
and friend. = Correspondence Boston

THE area of the Russian Empire is
1851, 004 square miles. The population,
including Poles, Firms, Caucasians, and
Asiatics, is IS, 6S5, 945. The area of Rus
STA proper is 1,SS1.2 16 miles, and the
population 65, 7O4, 559. No other coun-
try in Europe has as large a territory or
as many inhabitants. The late Gear as
cended the throne March 2, 1855, after
the battles of Balakava and Inkermann,
and in the midst of the siege of Sebasto-
pol. His reign was exactly twenty-six
years and eleven days in duration. His
father, Nicholas, reigned thirty years
Q825-1S55), and his great uncle, Alex
ander L, twenty-four years QS01-1S25).
There have been but three Czars of Rus
sia in the present century. Alexander
ILL.,, now on the throne, was thirty-six
years of age, March II, and will, unless
he meets an untimely end, live to COM
plete the century in four generations.
The last Gar of Russia who met his
death at the hands of an assassin pre-
vious to the late Emperor wa Paul, the
son of the famous Catharine Q796-1S01).
Spite of the repeated attempts upon the
lives of the rulers of Russia, the average
length of reigns in that kingdom has
been greater than in most other coun-
tries of Europe.

A Powerful Criticism.

A man, q desk, q room. The man was
in the room and his feet were on the
desk.
Nothing was wasted.
The man was al editor.
Somebody raped at the door.
"Come in," said the editor.
It was a boy.
He laid a book on the editors table
and went out.
The editor looked at it awhile, and
then took it into another room, where
there was another man with his feet on
the desk. He was writing busily; but
ceased his work as the editor came in.
!. He was a literary person.
"Give this q good notice." said the
editor.
"AIl right" said the literary person.
Then the editor went out.
The clock In the corner of the room
kept up an incessant ticking. The lit
erary person disliked this clock, but the
man who wrote the financial articles
owned the clock and would not allow it
minded him of the way bankers did
business.
After awhile the literary person fin
loIl6u Lilo I0NIOW vi q DOOh OA b1O Ou11Co
of p~rotoplasm. and stopped writing.
Presently he looked at the book which
the editor had left. He had never seen
anything like it before, but he did not
weaken. Again his pen travelled rapidly
over the paper. This is what he
wrote.
"We have received from the publish
ers q dainty work, entitled Records of
Trotting and Pacing in the United States
and Canada for $780, and we can warmly
recommend. it to our readers. While
the plot is one replete with sensational
incidents and situations, it is yet of a
character that can afford none, teaching
as it does, the lesson that true progress
is attained by honest effort. The almost
idyIlic story of Maud 8. and st. Julien
who seem to be the principle characters
in the story, is told in simple yet fin
ished manner, and one lays down the
book with a restful feeling at the heart
that should always h produced by a
Observation-Disclosures"
The next day the editor saw this in his
paper. He read it carefully and said:

Us: "You just try asking some child why

"Who made the sum-" "God."
"Where did He make it rise 2" "In

LIFE in Tennessee: 1t is related that
one hundred and fifty Tennessee clergy
men recently prayed for rain and it was
followed by a fortnight of the dryest
season ever known in that State. The
circumstance caused considerable excite
ment until a Chattanooga man dropped
into a country grocery store with the ex-
PLANTATION that he reckoned Providence
had got tired of being fooled by people
who prayed for water when what they
want all the time is whisky.
