It's latent heat, leaving tho moisture it
contained deposited on the outside of
the glass in the shape of dew.
Tho reason why tho temperature in
nature never sinks lower than the dew
point IS plain. The air coming in con-
tact with " the cold earth and plants,
parts with its moisture. This changes
from thessvapors form into the liquid
dew, which change results in freezing
the latent heat contained in the vapor.
Dew is nothing more than heat and
moisture distracted from earth and
plants during the warmer part of the
day,,and given back when the dew point
is reached.
Care should be taken to keep the
small tube closed with a cork to prevent
the evaporation OF the ether; if on
blowing into the instrument you find
the temperature to 60 below 80 degrees
before dew is formed then certainly you
can depend on frost.
The instrument can be put on small
shelf: of one of the posts in the summer
arbor, or any out-of-the-way place,
where it can be consulted at any time,

tions for the projection of plants against

A SCHOLARS ROMANCE.
Romantic Marriage of william Grimm, t
Noted German Philoloeist.

Romantic Marriage Of william Grimm, the
Noted German Philoloeist.
William Grimm, the noted German
scholar, who died December 10, 1859, had
= somewhat romantic marriage. As
those acquainted with his history know,
he and his brother Jacob were the clos
!est OF companions, both in their work
and amusements. Their learning and
industry was only surpassed by tho
beautiful simplicity which characterized
their mutual Intercourse. They were
both we'll advanced in life when an old
aunt took it into her head to provide
them with proper partners to take care
OF them after her death. The philolo-
gtsts at first objected strenuously, but
after some time they agreed to marry,
provided that one of them should be
spared, and the wife of the other should
be obliged to look after the finances and
linen Of both. They had long discus
sion as to who should enter the matri-
monial state, and it is said that the pub
lication of one of their volumes was de-
1ayed eight days in consequence of their
failure to agree. Finally Jacob, being
tho elder, resolved to sacrifice himself.
He knew nothing about making love,
and he appeared to be making no pro-
gress with the lovely young girl of %
picked out by the aunt, when William
generously offered to come to the rescue.
Jacob gratefully accepted tho PROPOSE
ton, and the younger brother proceeded
to ingratiate himself with the lady in
question, who, it must be understood,
had no knowledge Of the compact be-
tween the brothers. The result was
that before the end of week he was her
slave and devoted admirer. Though
head over heels in love, William did not
dare to make clean breast of it to the
fair lady. His conscience smote him,
and he felt that he had played the part
Of traitor to his brother. Theold aunt
found way out of the difficulty, how
ever, by acquainting Jacob with tho
true state of affairs. Instead of being
disappointed or mad with jealousy,
Jacob declared that it was the best news
he had ever received; and, to celebrate
his escape from the meshes of matri-
mony, he took a vacation, and enjoyed
himself among the hills and dales of the
Harz. So William was married, the
union proving happy one. After, just
as before, the wedding the brothers lived
in the same house, and were as insep-
arabic as ever, until death parted them.

Best Method Of Performing The Best
limo to Insure Success.
Root-grafting, says writer in Farm
and Fireside, may he performed from
January to April with success, and I
have root-grafted as late as May. 1t is
best to have the work done by the tlrst
of March. The stocks or roots used are
grown from seed for the purpose.
Thrifty, one-year roots are better and
more easily worked that two-year roots.
Do not use crab roots except for crab
trees, for they make the large-growing
kind dwarfish in habit. The roots
should be dug and the scions cut in the
fall and should be, kept dormant,
buried in saw-dust or moss in avery cold
cellar or pit The method Of union is
known as whip-grafting, and consists
mainly in fitting the two parts so closely
together as to insure a union of inner
bark Of both graft and stock. Pieces of
the root are sometimes used to graft on,
but the whole root is much the best.
The cuts are made and put together as
shown in Fig l.
The stocks are washed to take oil the grit
that it may not dull the thin. sharn knife
