Uses of the Bamboo.

The bamboo of the East are asso-
ciated In our recollections of the ger.
graphy, but it is little surprising to
read that the plant serves at least five
hundred different purposes in China,
according to the American Consul
General at Shanghai. 1t frequently
answe g for both iron and steel. The
roots are carved into images, lantern
handles, and canes the tapering culms
are used for every conceivable place
where poles and ribs can be put: the
leaves are worked into thatches, UNI
brellas and screens; cut into splints,
the wood is woven into baskets, plated
into awnings, and twisted into cables !;
the shavings stuff pillows other parts
supply chop-stieks for eating, beds for
sleeping, brooms for sweeping, pipes
for smoking, fuel for cooking, skewers
for the hair, paper for writing, rods
for whipping, tables to eat on, buckets
for water-drawing, and the tender
shoots are highly esteemed as veget-
able to be eaten. In the Chinese en-
pire south of the Yang-tze about sixty
varieties of bamboo are said to grow,
although five or six furnish the prin-
cipal materials used. At Foochow,
and Swallow, the large size grows 40
to so feet high and 6 to I inches diam
eter; on the island of Formesa it is
found even larger. The Consul sends
these particulars in the hope that so
useful plant-it might almost be
called a tree-may be naturalized in
the Southern States of this country.
The farmer who had grove of it
could resort to it whenever he had oc-
casion for small timber; he would
need only to select the right size, cut
off the required length, and it would
be ready for use, while the following
year would find its place made good
by at least two more. Roofing it is the
only difficulty, and after that is ac-
complished the plant takes care of
itself. Just before writing, the Con-
sui adds, he sent twenty boxes of BAN
boo for transplanting by a vessel
which cleared for port in Oregon.
He also sent by the same vessel, for
Eastern Oregon, where the climate is
suitable for them, sixteen Pang Sac,
or fiat peach trees, and seventy large
Shanghai pheasants, Mongolian sand
grouse, and Chefoo cartridges, the
birds to be turned loose in Oregon and
Washington.

Dreams.
heir Nature and CaHse from Scientific
Standpoint.


Dreams are night-thoughts, un-
checked by the Judgment and uncon-
trolled by the will. 1t is not true that
we do not reason In dreams, that exer-
else of the judgment is wholly sus-
pended, and that the will is entirely
powerless or ceases to act. These
faculties are not altogether in allegiance,
but they doze while the subordinate
powers of the mind-those which
play the part of picture carriers and
record finders-ransack the treasures
of memory, and mingle together in
the direst confusion old things and
new. Imagination is not active, but
it remains just enough awake TO sup
ply the connecting links which give
seeming continuity to those parts of
the phantasmagoria which we chance
to remember on recovering perfect
self-consciousness, and which, being
remembered, we call dreams" No
one remembers more than one dream,
unless he has reused from sleep more
than once. This had led to the infer
ence that dreams only occur at the
moment or in the act of awaking.
There are dreams which take place in
the process of returning to conscious
ness-for example, those instantaneous
scenes and spectacles which are sug-
gested by the sound or feeling that
rouses the dreamer; but as the result
of a long and close study of the sub
jet with view to discover the nature
of dreams and the laws of dreaming,
for medical purposes, in connection
with the treatment of sleeplessness,
1 am persuaded that dreams occur in
the course OF sleep and are wholly for
gotten.
That they do not and caanot take
place ia deep sleep is probable, be-
cause deep sleep is general sleep, and
when this state prevails the subordi-
nate faculties are sleeping, and the
pictures and records which compose
dreams are not disturbed. To under
stand dreams we must understand
sleep, and it is because the two phe-
nomena have not hitherto been studied
together that so little is generally
known about either.

Oxygen.

The highest temperatures are oh

this as the source of heat and fierce
We have here problem which is
open to discussion, namely, whether
the energy liberated by the combus-
ton waa originally contained in the
oxygen or in other substances. II
pears as if the latter assumption wa.
generally accepted; at least, state
ments are often met with, such as. for
instance, that coal contains the heat
OF the sun which GAS been stored ND

Gus state; while, on the contrary heat
must be withdrawn rom gases to con.
dense them TO liquids or solids. Oxv
gen is one of the most permanent
gases, and must therefore possess an
enormous amount of energy; while
carbon, on the other hand, being one
OF the most difficulty diffusible and
volatile bodies, can only contain q
little energy. This makes it ex.
tremely probable that the force of the
sun, taken up by the plants, is not
stored in their bodies, but in the free
oxygen of the atmo sphere. Hence the
