Glasgow, Scotiand's Metropolis.

Glasgow is the second city in size and
Importance in the kingdom of Great
Britain. 1t contains 800, 900 inhabit-
ants, and Is the great metropolis of
Scotland. Situated on the banks of the
Clyde, It's factories, foundries and store
houses stretch along the waters side
for miles. The streets run from east to
west, parallel with the river, with but
few crooked streets i'll the city. The
buildings are from five to seven stories
high, built of ireestone.
As an educational center It's reputa-
ton dates buck to the sixth century.
As market for American cotton and
tobacco it dates anterior to the time cot
ton claimed to be king, and before Vir-
ginia paid its clergymen's sala les in to-
bacco.
There are three public parks, the
Green, the Queens or Georges, and
the Kelvin grove. The Green Park
Coz tains 40 acres, and is the finest ono
of the three; it contains a monument
144 feet high, erected 10 the memory of
Lord Nelson.
The city is supplied with water from
the famous "Loch Katrine," thirty four
aqueduct, which supplies the city at
the rate of 100000 gallons per hour.

screwed up the gun, he introduced

and pressed his thumb vigorously on
the mouth. The gun was then "fired"
by an assistant; the thumb remained in
position, and the ball was heard to fall
back in the bore. Thereupon after re-
charging the breech and with the same
ball, he shot the latter at pine-board
about one-fourth of an inch thick, or
pane of glass, and it passed through.
The experiment, M. COLLATION. SAYS, is
without danger if the operator is sure of

more than thirty-two inches long, and if

Physiological Magnetism.

nj. Zeigler, of Geneva. has discover
ed that two magnetized bars of metal,
joined together in certain manner,
produce certain definite effects upon
animals submitted to experimentation,
which differ according to the angle of
intersection. One of these bars can he
replaced by terrestrial magnetism; and
il is concluded that the latter radiates
in the same way as light or heat and
that its rays are refracted in passing
through certain bodies, such as crystals
and iron. M. Zeigler says that the
physiological effects of magnetism can
be shown by concentrating it's rays
through lens of soft iron on the heart
of rabbit, when circulatory disturb
ances will occur. Violent peristaltic
movements are provoked by focusing in
the same way the magnetic rays on tho
intestines. The effects thus produced
on the bowels have been noticed by
other medical observers, and the dis
covery will, it is believed, lead to inn
portant results in physics, physiology
and medicine.

soluble in water, and every rain dissolves
portions of il, thus furnishing ready lime
food. The freshly-slacked lime, when in the
shape of a hydrate is also dissolved by water,
and as its effects are not only shown In the
growth of the crop but also as a chemical
agentin the soil, the advantage OF using judg-
ment and care in its preparation and apph-
cation can be seer at once. In the first place,
in Stacking the freshly-burnt lime too
much water should be guarded against Use
it sparingly, as the lime Will become inner
and contain fewer Jumps. After the lime IS
dry every bushel of it should be slited,
Jumps broken. and the whole mass brought
70 a fine, powdered condition. Applied in
such fiue condition, time will convince the
farmer that the labor expended Will be as
nothing compared to the difference between
the lime in that condition and when in
lumpy or gIavelly state.
The tendency OF lime is downwaI DIS In the
earth for the rain always takes with II more
less lime whenever II falls, and the kinds OF
or lime most subject to theactioD of moisture
are those that are in the finest possible state
of division. Hard Jumps that have reverted
10 limestone are almost useless, and theiI
application is extravaganza. 1t is admitted
that there are unseen and often unknown
agencies that work even upon the Jumps,
bat the processes are slower and less certain
than when by little care the lime is broad

Application of Lime.

Thousands of bushels Of lime are Annually
thrown away by improper methods of appli-
cation. Every farmer is a believer in the
benefits derived from lime. and even on
limestOne lands it is used with advantage.
As all plants contain more or less lime it
not only serves as an important element Of
food but in some sections its use is an absO-
lutte necessity 1t may be safely said that
all soils contain some lime. Lime in the
soil. being principally in the shape of car
boaate, slittle influenced by the action of
rams. When limestone is burnt it merely
loses Its csrbonic acid, and when we slack
it with water the lime unites with the water,
which crystallizes and forms hydrste of
lime After while, by attracting carbonic
acid from the air. the lime becomes again a
carbonate. and is then in the same condi-
ton as before bu:ning-that is, it has be-
come once more Limestone in fine c0ndi-
ton.
Lime Is often bought and Stacked, and
then placed aside until some convenient
time arrives for putting it on the land; and
as the process for Stacking is considered an
ordinary occurance it is sometimes done
carelessly. When it is ready to be broad
casted it generally goes to the field in
Jumps or in the shape of fine gravel. The
farmer who knows how to use lime is very
careful TO apply the lime, il possible, as 9
fine powder, for then the benefit from
its application is more direct; it reaches
every part, and less quantity is required
which amply repays for the labor Of
preparation. Clover peas, beans, pc
Iat0es, etc. are lime plants, andw can ac
