wnat MS son Is dong ana how ne regards
his own position and work
Dick was now drawing the very hand
some salary Of seventy five pounds year,
with breakfast. lodging, washing, supper.
il he wanted IL, and his Sunday dinner. He
was, therefore, rich as clerks at three and
twenty 90 We may allow him eighteen
pence day for his dinner, or ten shilings q
week, which comes TO twenty-six pounds q
year; fifteen pounds a year for his dress,
which is not extravagsnt; ten pounds for a
fortnights holiday in the summer, and five
pounds a year for his daily omnibus There
remained the handsome sum of nineteen
pounds year. or rather more than q shil-
ling day, to cover his amusements and his
petty expenses How many young fellows
can afford a shilling a day for plessures
Dick had SO few pleasures that he must
have been saving money. He was very quiet
young man-sons of masterful fathers gen
orally are-he had taught himself to play tbs
piano little, and to draw a little, but Ian
guidly. Wien he was at home he spent
most Of the time at the old piano. which had
been his mothers When he was at the Of
fee he spent most of the time in drawing.
He had no taste for reading, he seemed to
care nothing for the things which form the
pleasure of so many young men; be never
went to the theatres or music halls; he had
no bicycle, belonged TO no athletic cub; and,
except one or two old school-fellows, he had
no friends Yet of late he had got into the
habit Of spending every evening out Where
no went, or what he did, his father did not
inquire.
A quiet young man, who seemed TO be get
ting through his youth at a regular, even
pace, turning neither to the right hand nor to
the left picking no fruits or flowers, and run
ming after no flies, caught by none Of
the Jack -o'-lanterns which lead astray so
many of the London youth-his father should
have been satisfied with such a son.
But he was not Mr.. Murridge was disap-
pointed that his son had no passion for any
thing. Dick was no fool, but he did his
work like a machine; he took no interest in
his work; he was spiritless.
Now, a young man who is not a fool can
not be, though he may appear to be, ma
chine Parents who have such sons as Dick
should remember this proverb, which is one
of the very few omitted from Solomon's
unique collection-how good it is for the
world that this king collected proverbs in
stead of old Phenician ware and prehistoric
pots! You will presently discover that Dick
was no exception to this proverb.

The Upper Air.
ILopgman's Magazine.l

The greatest difficulty which meets
every thoughtful weather student 10 his
inability to obtain any satisfactory &C
count of the conditions and motions of
the upper portion of the atmosphere. As
has been said. We live ct the bottom of
the atmospheric ocean, Of which the up
per layers are practically inaccessible to
US The air is arranged symmetrically
about the globe. and it II much denser
closer TO the earth than above It The
actual height 10 which the air extends Is
not known exactly, but at the level of
about forty miles 1t Is no longer dense
enough to be capable Of retrscting the
suns rays
At the height of about seven miles, or
81. 600 feet, believed to have been reached
by Messrs Gaiser and Coxwell. in fam
Gus balloon ascent from WolS erhampton.
September 5. 1858. the air was found 70
be so rsrefed that great difficulty was
experienced in breathing. Such height
as seven miles is quite insignificant when
compared with the diameter Of the earth.
In fact, if the earth was represented by q
twenty.four inch globe. the height Of the
atmosphere. even supposing 1t to be ten
miles. would be represented by shell
four -hundredths Of an inch thick, about
the thickness of a shilling.

The microscopic determination of the
diffe4 4ent qualities Of iron and steel Is
now regarded as one Of the most yalua-i
BILE aids In metallurgical industries
Thus the crystals Of iron are double
pyramids, in which the, proportion OF
the axes to the bases varies with the
quality Of the iron; the smallness Of the
crystals and the height Of the pyramids
composing each element are In proper
ton to the quality and density or the
metal, which are seen also in the fine:
ness Of the surface; and as the. proper
tion Of the carbon diminishes in the
steel, the pyramids have so much the
less height. In pig-iron and the lower
qualities Of hard steel the crystals ap-
proach more closely the cubic form
Forged iron has It's pyramids tlattened
and reduced to superposed parallel
leaves, whose structure constitutes what
Is called the nerve Of the steel; and the
best quality Of steel has all Its crystals
disposed in parallel lines, each crystal
filling In the interstice between the an
giles Of those adjoining. these crystals
having their axis In the direction Of the
percussion they undergo during the
working. Practically good steel has
the appearance, mlcroscopically, Of large
groups Of beautiful crystals.
