In autumn Andrusha returned to st.
Petersburg and entered the military
academy. He passed rapidly one grade
of the military career after the other,
was in 1870 promoted Captain. the
Shipka Pass affair, during which the
young artillery officer rendered signal
services, bringing him the dignity of
Colonel and the grand cross of the st.
George Order. At the same time his
name became wildly known in
scientific circles. He became editor of
one of the best military reviews of ST.
Petersburg, and It's house was the
gathering place of the best and ab'est
representatives of civil rs well as Mill

/. A MlIlionaire's Whim.

An order has just been given by 3
New York millionaire for a Turkish
lounging-room to be built at the back
of his house. The walls are to be of
some rare wood, inlaid with silver
arabasques. Running around the entire
apartment will be low divan covered
with rich silk shot" with gold and
silver threads, and the floor !. to be
one complete design in MOSAIC, made
up of thousands of pieces of stone.
Over this floor will be thrown cxpen-
sive Turkish rugs, a divan constructed
of great silk and satin covered pillows
being arranged in the center of the
apartment. Silver lattice work cover
ing the windows will admit the light,
the latter being softened at pleasure by
means of rich hangings. From niche
will issue jet of water, falling into
marble basin. The roof of the extern
sion will be partially movable. SO that
in summer tent-like arrangement of
d-apery can be fashioned above the
heads of the loungers. admitting the air
through its folds, and still keeping out
warm rays of the Chicago Times.

When death came awful near;
For nights ana nights he never slept

Il tell ye. Squire. It's worth the world
To know I'm still his wife.
The dreadful thought clings to my mind:
Perhaps the Lord of might
Will come. In wrath, to grant divorce
He only has the right;
For long ago when John an

We made the VOW in His great name
That death alone should part

The sea occupies three-fifths of the
surface of the earth. At the depth Of
about $500 feet waves are not felt.
The temperature is the same, varying
only trihe from the ice of the pole tC

mile down the water has pressure OF

six feet deep were filled with sea wa

sun, there would be two inches of salt

age depth of the ocean to be three
miles, there would be layer of pure
salt 230 feet thick on the bed of the
Atlantic. The water is colder at the
bottom than at the surface. In the

water often freezes at the bottom be.

deceptive. To look at them in q
storm one would think the water trav-
elcd. The water stays in the same
place, but the motion goes on. Some
times in storms these waves are forty
feet high, and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftcst steamer The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen
times the height, hence wave five feet
high will extend over seventy-five feet
of water. The force of the sea dash
ing on Bell Rock is said to be fifteen
tons for each square yard. Evapora-
ton is wonderful power in drawing
the water from the sea. Every year a
LAYER of the entire sea, fourteen feet
thick, is taken up into the clouds.
The wind bears their burden into the
land, and the water comes down in
rain upon the fields, to flow back at
last through rivers. The depth of the
sea presents an interesting problem. II

CULTIVATION IN DROUGHT.

Interesting Facts Reported by the Agrl-
cultural Station at Geneva, n. Y.
With the aid of scientific knowledge,
every farmer has noticed that we'll
cultivated land stands drought better
than that which is neglected. The
reason of the fact is not so generally
understood. 1t will, therefore, be q
source of satisfaction to all to be pos
sessed of additional evidence and more
exact data on the subject, and may be
of value by stimulating tillers of the
soil to additional effort at critical peri
dds. A bulletin from the agricultural
station at Geneva, N. Y. contains these
interesting facts bearing on the subject
of drought: THAT cultivation. by form
ing loose soil upon the surface, which
acts as a mulch, conserves the water to
the soil, is fact which is well estab-
lished and should be more commonly
appreciated. For the purpose of offer
ing numerical values which shall ex-
press the influence of cultivation, we
have tried the following experiment:
Oak boxes of one cubic foot capacity
were made of half-inch stuff and thor
Oughly soaked with oil. The bottoms
being removed, the frame was forced
down into the earth in the corn-feld
and the bottoms afterward put in posi-
ton. We thus had foot cube IF soil
in its natural position. The surface of
the earth in one box was left undis-
turbed, while the surfaces of two boxes
were kept cultivated. By. weighing
these boxes the gain or loss in weight
is assumed to measure the evaporation
which has taken place from each.
From July rs to August 1, six
days, the cultivated soil evaporated
Mt the rate of 9O6 gallons per acre
less than the undisturbed soil, or less
ISL gallons daily per acre. From
August to August 10, nine days, the
cultivated soil evaporated 1857 gallons
per acre less than did the undisturbed
soil. or less 263 gallons daily per acre..
During the whole period from July rs
to August 10. fifteen days, the saving
of water effected through cultivation
figured up PIP gallons daily per acre,
or. expressing these facts in another
form, the undisturbed land lost per
acre, from July 26 to August 10, 4.243
gallons, the cultivated soil 1850
gallons, In calculating our results to
the acre by multiplying the evaporation
which has taken place from square
foot of surface by 1850, the unayoid-
able errors are cOrrespondingly multi
piled. and while duplicate series can
never be expected to give precisely the
some numerical results, yet the one
fact became nnquestionable that
through cultivation we are enabled to
to the soil q large amount Of
water during drought Indeed, OBJ
through extending periods
Of drought also plainly shows the SUI
periority of fields that have been we4l
cultivated over those where cultivation
has been neglected" The advantages
Of tile drainage in wet seasons have
been shown. Thus are science and exc
periment contributing to the relief Of
agriculture against the extremes Of
both wet seasons and dry ones. The
