How Comets Affect the Earth.

Ii is reassuring to learn from Professor
Lewis Bosss prize essay on comets, Just pub
lished. that no serious results are ever likely
to happen to our little planet from the visits
to the solar system of those celestial vaQrants
The influence of comets upon the earth, he
says, is in all probability quite insignificant.
They may, like the sun, affect the earth's
magnetic condition, and thus TO some extent,
possibly, its meteorology. No such effect
has ever been perceived. In spite of some
chance condolences between the apparitions
Of great comets and remarkable public events,
no well informed person now believes that
there is any real connection between them.
BY a liberal and credulous Interpretation Of
any frequently occurring celestial phenome-
non, similar condolences could be shown
When comet is converted into meteoric
bodies, which impinge upon the earth's at
mospbcre, there is some direct though prob
ably minute effect. Some have thought that
sensible portion of the heat which the earth
receives is generated in this way, but the
weight of scientific opinion seems to be
against that hypothesis. The impact of me-
teors upon our atmosphere must add some
matter to it, and this is probably in the form
of dust. This may be the origin of the So
called cosmic dust, which has been collected
at sea in recent times. The finer particles
Of ii may have some influence on cloud for
nations, and other meteorological phenom-
ena; but all this is merely conjecture.
more remote&ffect may be sought in the
possible fall Of mcteors and comets upon the
surface Of the sun. Owing to his vast bulk
the sun would attract an immense number Of
these bodies; but il is quite certain that their
effect upon the suns heat is insignificant. It
is now generally admitted that we must look
fer the origin Of the suns heat in constant,
though to US imperceptiblc, shrinkage of his
vast bulk. Some connection between the
frequency of sun-spots and comets has been
rather vaguely suspected. Were the search
for comets systematically pursued with equal
persistence for a long period, we might have
some data for the formation of sound
opinion. Yet ii would still be an open ques-
ton, whether comets cause the spots, or
whether greater activity Of the sun tends in
some way to render comets brighter 30 that
more will be visible-with probability in fa-
vor o the latter supposition.
Finally. it may be said, with all due re-
spect to scientific decorum, that the appear
snce of a great comet does exert one most
happy influence on the earth, in that It stim-
ulates the curiosity Of mankind, and directs
their thoughts to the more particular contem-
plation Of the glorious universe which sur
rounds them.

We doubt if there was ever Il subject
discussed, in which more lying, dcccp-
tion, sophi>try and false reasoning
were intentionally indulgcd in than
that of money and finance, by the
British school of political economists.
Reason. philosophy and argument are
not rc,ortrA to, but instead false thco-
ricS. pcrnciuuS systems ard groundIcSN
assumptions are bulldozcd into public
opinion. and then into statutes by the
most reckless and corrupt means.
The dcmonctization act of 1873 au-
thorizcd the coinage of the trade dol
lar to be- seven and onc-half grains
heavier than the standard dollar. and
making it legal tender in all sums not
exceeding five dollars in any one pay
mcnt. OF these dollars over 36, OOO,0OO
were coined and are now in circulation,
and they remained at par until they
were demonctzcd in July. 1874. The
oct dcmonctizing them reduced their
market value 10 per cent, and to that
extent il was an act Of Reputation
against the holders, their bullion value
being but 80 cents.
Congressman Smith, of Illinois. has
recently introduced II bill authorizing
the secretary to redeem these demonc-
tized silver dollars by giving standard
silver dollars at par for them. and have
them re-cOined into standard dollars,
This would increase the silver circula-
ton by the amount redeemed and re-
coined This would be the sum and
substance of the whole transaction.
But the monicd interest which is OPP
posed to all imitation OF money, except
it be their own issues of bank notes,
object to this proposition. They dare
not antagonizc on the real basis of their
objection, to-wit, expansion outside of
bank note imitation, so they attack it
on the ground of public waste and eX-
travagance.
The Times of this city says:
"Thc loss to the treasury is II matter
that ought not to be overlooked. As
bullion, the trade dollars are worth but
80 cents each. The bill requires the
treasury to pay 100 cents eachf for them,
which will entail Il loss of S3,6O0,0O0
upon the people, etc"
Does The Times imagine that the peo-
pie are stupid enough to be misled by
this nonsenseg
The treasury is required to givewhat
The Times is pleased to call an SS-cent
dollar for 90-cent dollar. The dollar
to be paid weighs but 412 1-2 grains,
while the trade dollar weighs 42O, max
ing total saving to the government by
the transaction of S720, 900, instead Of
a loss of $3,600,000. Figures won't
lie.

Farm lud Workshop.
The native Swiss cattle are mostly OF
Il dark brown color on the body, with Il
light mouse-colorcd stripe on the upper
line. They are generally above the mo
dunn size, with square and compact
bodies, heads large and coarse, thick
necks, with heavy hanging dewlaps.
With the Improvement of agriculture
in Switzerland, which has been very
great in recent years, the improvement
of stock has kept pace. Many of the
Objectionable points in these cattle have
been bred out of them by selection,
They still retain their claim as 4 supc'
rior race for the dairy, and furnish ont
of the greatest sources of revenue It
their native country. The OK, and very
often the COW, is used for doing tht
work on the farm. They receive the
kindcst treatment from their owners
and in consequence are usually docilC
in disposition. From the practice O
wearing bells, it is said, they evince ;
love for music, giving rise to the coun
try saying that dairymaid with tinC
musical voice will increase the quanti
ty of milk given by the cows in the
dairy. The cattle have fine and muscu
lar limbs, with feet apparently as hare
as iron, and well adapted to the steep
stony regions of their native land
Their milk, though not so great il
quantity, is that of the Channel Islan(
cattle-vcry rich in cheese and butter
qualities. The Swiss cheese is among
the finest made in Europe, and finds {
ready export sale. Combining these
excellent qualities with that of grea
hardness and fair becf-producing
structure, they would unquestionably
be a valuable cattle in the mountain
Gus districts of this country, especially
where but little food is grown.

The comfort of the COW has much TO
do with the quality of hcrmilk. In hot
weather the annoyance produced by
flies and excitement caused by fighting
them make the nights milk poorer
than it otherwise would be. Chemical
analysis has shown great falling off of
fat of the milk in the same COW when
chased by II dog. Any unusual eX-
citemcnt of the COW affects the fat in
her milk. In Il case where cows went
into a stream in hot weather, and stood
several hours in the water above the
knee, there was falling off of the
butter product from the same quantity
of milk. This is accounted for by the
extra food required to keep up the
animal heat in consequence of the heat
being carried off by water. When we
consider the fact that milk is secretcd
from the blood we can readily see the
effects that must be produced on the
nervous system of the COW. In Il ease
occurring in the city of Albany, New
York, where nervous COW was whip
ped by passionate man, who whip
ptd and otherwise ill-treated her at
milking, the milk was given to a child
who had been healthy, but, after using
the milk, became ill and suffered from
intestinal irritation, followed by n fever
which seemed to affect the brain and
nervous system. This illness was
traced directly to the milk of this i'll
treated COW.

Where Cordileras mar the mystic west.
There suns unhecdcd rise and rcarisc,
And in the skies
The harvest-mOon unnoticcd lives and dies.
Aud yet this cloudcd city hath no night
Volcanic light
Doth give eternal nOon-tide rcdy bright.

For rich and rare

With level look-with loving, hopeful face
Fixed upon space
Stand caryatides Of unknown race.
And lofty colonadcs are there of green,
Hard, serpcntinc,
Carved on whose shafts strange alphabCts are
seen.
And from triumphant arches, looking down
Upon the town,
IN porphyry sad unknown statesmen frown,
And there are lofty temples, rich and great
And at the gate
Carved in Obsidian the lions wait.
And there are palace homes and stately walls
And open Halls
Where fountains are with vOicccss waterfalls
The ruddy fires inccssantly illumc
Temple aud tomb,
And in their blaze the stOne-wrought blossom
bloom.
From clouds congcalCd the mercury distills
And forming rills
AdOwn the streets in double strcamlct trills
As rain from clouds that summer skies eclipse
