The Mechanical Efforts OF Roots.

The true mechanical efforts of
roots are eXerted in their struggle for
progress through the soil, and examples
for illustration are many. To under
stand the magnitude of their work, we
must bear in mind that each root dis
places an amount of soil equal to its
own bulk. Take for instance crop of
mangel wurzels, and imagine what an
upheaval must have been produced in
the so by the growth Of It's enormous
mass. The whole surface of the field is
raised and its particles loosened.
In practi al questions of the farm,
this power is of value. Those who
give turnips and mangels place in
their system of rotation, do so ostensi-
bly, for their feeding value. but bevond
this their mechanical effect is also of
much Importance.
The most striking results of the m !
chanical power of roots are seen when
they come in contact with the most re-
sisting obstacles. They have been un-
earthed from compact gravellv soil,
where the struggle for room had been so
fierce that they became distorted out Of
all natural shape. 1t is not unusual to
find trees growing in the clefts of lodges
showing Enthusiastically that the expan-
son of the roots has forced the rock
apart. A case is cited, on good
authority, of root of the sugar maple
that had pushed its way under a rock
weighing nearly two tons, and by its
enlargement lifted it entirely from its
bed. Trees have been observed grow
ing on the bare rock, resting upon their
roots which ran out into the soil on
either side, and yet these roots, support
ing the enormous weight of the tree,
formed each year new growth on their
underside, and lifted the tree by the
space of its thickness until seven inches
OF wood had been formed under the
severe pressure.-Mr. W. E. Stone, in
american Aqr-iculturist.

he is thin and gaunt, and invariably

add to the impression. For instance. if
he happens to feel tired when walking
in the street he is accustomed to rest

Something About Tennis.

Although the revival OF the ancient
game of tennis, which is now generally
known as lawn tennis, is of recent
growth, the sport is simplya molitica-
ton of the pastime familiar to the
English people in the time of Shakes
poare. They, in turn, borrowed the
game from the French, There can be
little doubt that the sport arose out of
"hand- ball." or, as it was called by the
French, palm-play, so-called because
the exercise consisted in receiving the
ball and driving it back again with the
palm of the hand. In former times
they played with the naked hand, then
with a glove. Afterward it became
the fashion to bind cords and tendons
around the hands to make the ball re-
bound more forcibly. From this habit
the racquet derived its origin. During
the time of Charles !. hand tennis was
exceedingly popular in France, being
played for large sums of money. So
strong was the passion for betting
upon the game that the nobility, after
losing all they had about them, would
pledge their wearing apparel. Ac-
cording to Laboureur, a French histo-
rian, the Duke of Burgundy, "having
lost sixty francs at palm-play with the
Duke of Bourbon, Messire William de
Lyon and Messire Guy de la Tri-
meuille, and not having money enough
to pay them, gave his girdle as pledge
for the remainder. and shortly after
ward he left the same girdle with the
Count D'Eu for eighty francs which
he lost at tennis" Indeed, it was very
common in those times to negotiate
girdles instead of bonds in betting
transactions.
In the fifteenth century regular and
fixed rules were introduced in the
game for the first time, and covered
courts were erected In the sixteenth
century tennis courts were quite COM
mon in England, and the sport was
literally encouraged by the soyereigns.
In work published 10y Hoole in 1868
there is a picture of tennis court,
divided by line stretched in the mid
die. and the players standing on either
side with their racquets ready to re-
ceive and return the ball, which the
rules of the game required to be struck
over the line.-AmertcGn Queen.

An Apes Revenge.

Apes, when their anger is aroused,
are very dangerous creatures, us they
will dare almost anything in order tC
avenge their wrongs. Many of their
deeds of revenge are well known, but
the following anecdote, which comes
from Italy, is as amusing as any we
have yet heard of. II Ross0, dis
ciple of Angelo, resided in Florence in
a house overlooking garden belong.
ing to some friars. II Rosso possessed
an ape which was on friendly terms
with one of his apprentices called
Battistoni, who employed the animal
to steal the friars' grapes, letting it
down into the adjacent garden and
drawing it up again by a rope. The
grapes being missed watch was set,
and one day friar caught the ape in
the very act He tried to inhict a
thrashing but the ape got the best OF
it and escaped. IL Rosso, however
was sued, and his pet sentenced tc
wear weight on its tail. But few
days elapsed ere the culprit had an
opportunity of avenging this insult
While the friar was performing mass
at neighboring church, the ape
climbed to the part of the roof under
which the altar stood, and to use
Vasaris words, performed so lively
a dance with the weight on his tai
that there was not tile or vase left
unbroken; and on the friar's return a
torrent of lamentations was heard that
lasted three days. ."-Hayper's Young

Pat Out of Their Misery.

A recent very shocking accident,
where railway engineer was thrown
under an engine by an accident in such
Il manner that eXtrication was impos-
sible, and who lay in the agonies of
suffering, his lower limbs roasting.
while his upper part lay exposed, re-
wives some old queries as to the duty
of bystandcr whom the sufferer
should beg to "put him out of his
misery" The famous Ambrose Pare,
the sixteenth century surgical genius
who did so much toward abolishing
the preposterous methods of practice
he found prevailing, writes, when re-
lating campaign experiences: 81 en-
tered "a stable, thinking to lodge my

ly approached them and gently cut
their throats. told him he was a
wicked man. lie replied that he
prayed to God that whensoever he
should be in such case he might find
some one who would do as much for
him, that he might not miserably Ian
guish." Again, in Passages of an
Eventful Life" by private soldier,
we read "a poor fellow of the
Eighty-eighth, who had been severely
wounded and seemed to suffer eXcru-
ciating agony, begged of those who
passed him to put him out of torture.
Although from the nature Of his
wound there was no possibility Of his
surviving, yet none felt inclined to
comply with his request, until Ger
man of the Sixteenth, after hesitating
few moments, raised his rifle, and
putting the muzzle of it to the suf-
ferer's head fired the contents through
it. Whether this deed deserved praise
or blame, | leave others to determine" ;"

the ascent of Mount Popocatepetl will

some time it may prove profitable
undertaking to build an inclined rail-

like that running up Mount Washing
ton, and to establish fine hotels amid
the eternal SHOWS of the peak, which
rises over two miles above the level Of
this city and nearly three and half
miles above the sea-level.
