C~rOWdIng the Tomato.

In The coast country of the lower
South the tomato does best under
the effect of a partial shade. A
full exposure to the rays of the sun
from morning till night tends 10
its burning out" and hence Ia
cutting short its season of bearing.
besides it often leads TO a scUrch-
ing of one side OF The fruit while
yet green. Persons sometimes
shelter their tomatoes by setting
forks and placing a thin covering
of leaIy brush over the plants some
five or six feet above. The effect
is said TO have always been good.
But the tomato will not bear
crowding by any other close aud
high-bearing crOp-lt must have
air. Corn, Okra, or pole beans
planted alongside the tomato row
invariably damages the tomatoes.
The adjacent crops should always
consist of something that grows
low. Most of The bad luck with
tomatoes IN The kitchen garden
that we hear about, comes ni
crowding them with high gTowths,
thus shutting off a free circulation
Of the air.

Why Sixty Seconds Make a Minute.
Max Muller in the Fortnight, Revue v.

Max Muller in the Fo%rtnightly Revue v.
Why Is our hour divided into
sixty minutes, each minute into
sixty seconds, etc? Simply and
solely because in Bahylonia there
existed, by the side of the decimal
system of notation, another sys.
tern, the seXagesimal, which count
ed by sixties. Why that number
should have been chosen is clear
enough, and il speaks we'll for the
practical sense of those ancient
BabylOnia merchants. There Is no
number which has so many divi-
sors as go. The BabylOnians d.
vided the suns daily journey into
lwenty-tOur parasangs, or 720 sta-
dia. Each parasang or hour was
divided into sixty minutes. A
paraSang is about a German mile,
and B%abylonian astronomers com
pared the progress made by the
sun during one hour al The Time Of
The equinox to The progress made
by a good walker during the same
time, both accomplish one para
sang The whole course of the
sun during the twenty four eQui-
noctial hours was fixed at twenty
four parasangs, or 720 stadla, or $50
degrees. The system was handed
ON to the Greeks, and Hipparchus,
The great Greek philosopher, who
lived about $50 b. O., introduced
The Babylonian hour into Europe.
Ptolemy, who wrote about $50 A.
D., and whose name still lives in
that of the PtOlemaic system OF
astronomy, gave still wider curren.
cy the Babylonian way of reckon
ing time. Ii was carried along on
the quiet stream of traditional
knowledge through the middle
ages, and, strange TO say. II sailed
down safely over the Niagara OF
The French revolution. For the
French, when revolutionizing
weights, measures. coins and dates,
and suhieciing all 10 the decimal
system of reckoning, we're induced
by some unexplained motive TO re-

Here you see again the TOnderful
conference Of The world, and how
what We call knowledge is the re-
suit of the unbroken tradition of a
teaching descending from father TO
son. No more than about a hun

the builders Of the palaces of Ba-
bylOn, and enable us to shake
