Ha1cyOn Days.

According to the ahcients, the king
fisher, called in Greek, Halcyoh, from
two words, signifying the ''sea" and
~"brooding upon," was 80 named from
Haltyone, q daughter of Eolus, and the
wife of Ceyx. The story goes that Ceyx
was drowned while on his way to Consult
the oracle, and that, in a dream that
night, Halcyone was informed of the
fate of her husband. Next morning, as
she wandered diseonsolately upon the
shore, she found his body washed up by
the wates, and overcome with grief,
threw herseH fnt5 the sea. The gods,
in admiration Of their mutdaf affection,
changed them into kingfishers.
The kingfishers were supposed, at that
time, to make their nests during the
seven days preceding the winter s~olstice
(about December 2ll and to lay their
eggs during'the seven days directly fol-
lowing it; and it was a popular supersti-
ton that the sea remained calm and
tranquil while they reared their young.
| And, therefore, these fourteen days were
called ehalcyon days." or days Of calm,
| pleasant weather. On this account the
ancients regarded the haleyon as q SYM
boil of tranquility, and because 1t lived
near the water it was consecrated to The
It's, a sea-nymph. The bird about which
stich wonderful stories were told was
probably nothing more than the common
kipgfsher of Europe (Aiccde ispida),

Preserving Forests Against Fire.

Whereverit Is possible leave the trees
standing in blocks. Between these
blocks the land should be kept under
cultivation by the pillow, or pastired SO
closely as to prevent any grass from
growing up and standing in high tufts,
for such would enable the fire to run
over the ground, and thus carry it from
one block to another, to the destruction
Of their trees. The size of these blocks
ought to be as small as possible; as a
general rule, we would limit them to
five to twenty acres, and never let one
exceed fifty acres. The cultivated di-
vision between these should vary in
breadth according to circumstances, to
be decided upon by a Government sur
generally prevalent during a dry time,
fired, the space ought to be broader
between the eastern and western lines
than the southern and northern. AS
wood and timber are cut, they should be
hauled out from the woods and piled
pn or near the center of these spaces,
and then, in Ease of fire, these atleast
would be saved from destruction.
Before commencing numbering in the
forests, or clearing for cultivation, the
tract of country subject to this ought to
be surveyed, and the spaces lined out
to be first cut over, and all the brush
cleaned up and burned before dry
weather sets in. In some instances,
these spaces could be left safely to
grow up a new. forest, but it would be
hetter to put them under cultivation or
into grass. If suitable blocks of forest
were left standing, the Trimmings of these
would go far to supply the country with
a sufficiency of lumber. As soon as a
tree here had attained a proper age and
s;ze, it might be cut down, hauled out,
and turned into lumber, as is done in
many of the European forests. This
gives the younger trees near where they
stood a chance for q better and more
rapid growth, thus keeping the blocks
up for a never failing supply of wood
and timber for the annual wants of the
country.
Forests are set on fire by so many
various ways, that neither guards nor
laws, however strict, can entirely pre-
vent them. These are mainly done by
hunters, picnic parties, brush burning,
sparks from locomotives, or depraved
people, delighting in the wanton de
struction of valuable property belong
ing to others. The preservation of suf-
| ficient areas of forest where now stand
ing, and the planting of others where
needed, are important considerations,
not only for our own United States, but
for the whole continent of North and
South America. This should now be

About Water.

A curious fact about water is that it
is the rust of the metal known as by
drogenium. When oxygen combines
with iron it forms a reddish rust, and
the metal becomes in time disintegra-
ted. In this condition it is said to be
oxidized. Now, water is simply oxi-
died hydrogenium. This metal is
present in the sun and in all the plan
cts in enormous quantities. Indeed, it
is said that the human body is COM
posed of 81 pals of water, mingled
with some lime, iron and certain salts.
Chemistry has revealed to us many
marvels, but none greater than the
composition of common water.-Dem-
