Mammoth Eagle Carved in Iron.

japanese patience is proverbisl. A
remarkable example of what it v i'll ac-
complish when combined with manual
aud artistic skill is 10 be exhibited at
the Chicago fair. 1t is a hand carved
iron eagle, the work of japanese ar
list. ShinJiro lta-o. of the province of
Xii, and it took him just five years to
make it.
1t is two feet in height and measures
from tip TO tip of the extended wings
five feet, the weight being l33 pounds.
The head is so CONSTRUCTED. that it will
swerve from side to side like live
bird
The bird has more than 5000 feath-
ers made separately by hand, the lines
on each numbering several hundred,
and many Of them Of such remarkable
fneness that in order TO preserve their
uniformity of appearance a fresh tool
had to be employed after cutting three
or four of them. This will give some
idea of the patience and care required
for the successful accomplishment of
the work.
Shinjiro Ita-o captured two eagles.
One he killed and stuffed and the other
he kept alive. He used both as models
so that while engaged on the work he
might study the bird both in repose
and in action.

Fogs, Mists, and Clouds

These are all of the same nature
They are simply particles of water or
ICE which have formed at points where
currents o. air If different tenpcra-
lures meet each other, but not IN suffi-
cient quantity To produce randrops
Clouds are formed wherever the air,
in rising, is cooled enough to condcnse
vapors. When the all is quite dry
clouds will not he formed until hi.h
point is reached. il at ali When it is
well saturated, they may be formed SO
low as to touch the earth and are
then called fogs or mists.
De'c.-Dew, like rain. fog, etc. is
caused by the cooling of the atmos-
phere. The earth during the night Ne
comes cooler than the air above it. aud
tends 70 coudense moisture from the
air Which comes in contact with it.
There is less dew on a cloudy night.
because clouds prevent the earth from
cooling They ob>iruct the rays Of heat
as these pass from the earth. and turn
them back. thus preserving an equality
of temper AZURE between the earth aud
the air.
\ strong wind prevents the ior1la-
ton of dew by keeping the air well
mixed. and leaving no part OF it in con-
tact with the ground long enough 10
become cool and deposit moisture
a slight breeze increases the amount
of dew by removing those portions Of
air which have already deposited their
moisture. and bringing other portions
successi"ely in contact with the ground.
The quantity Of water that forms up.
on the ground a. dew is much larger
than is generally Supposed. II is only a
portion of ii that appears in the morn
ing on the blades of grass. 4 large
part is absorbed into the soil.
In Great Britain, where dew. are
heavy, it Is estimated that the whole
amount deposited in year would he
equal to a depth of several inches Of
water. In some tropical regions il is
deposlte fast az to be equal TO
light rain.
Froa,--Frost is simply frozen moist
ure from the atmosphere. When the
temperature at the point where dew
would form falls below 80 dess, the
point at which water freezes, the moist
ure condensed from the air, instead Of
forming dew, forms crystals OF ice, or
frost.
When there is no dew. there can be
no frost Of this kind, and vegetation Is
not injured unless the temperature fall,
low enough, and remains low long
enough to freeze the sap within the
plant. Wnsiotc's Principles of Agri-

Clasps in its jewelled arms the slumber-
ing Earth,
| Alone | sit beside the lowly light
That like dream-fire flickers on my
hearth,
With some joy-teeming volume in my
A peopled planet opulent and grand.
1t may be Shakespeare, with his endless
train
OF sceptred thoughts-a glorious pro-
genv-
/ Borne on the whirlwind of his mighty brain
| Through vision-lands forever far and
free
His grea, mind beaming through these
| phantom crowds
Like evening sun from out a wealth OF
clouds
1t may be Milton, on his seraph wing
| Soaring to heights of grandeur vet un-

Now deep where horrid shapes Of darkness
cling,
Now lost in splendor at the feet of God /;
Grit with the terror of avenging skies,
Or wrapt in dreams of infant paradise.
1t may be Spenser, with his misty shades,
Where forms of beauty wondrous tales
rehearse;
With breezy vistas and with cool arcades
Opening forever in his antique verse.
1t NAV be Chaucer, with his drink divine,
His tabard old, and pilgrims twenty-nine.

Of glorious Greece, the morning-land of

Who barred the fearful front of Tragedy,
And scared to fame on pinions broad
and strong;
Oh watched beneath the Trojan ramparts
proud
The dim hosts gathering like thunder

No rust Of time can stain Quixotes mail;
In wonted rest his lance securely lies;
Still is the faithful Sancho stout and hale,
Forever wide his wonder-stricken eyes !;
And Rozinante, bare and spectral steed,
Still throws gaunt shadows DER their every

Still can robe me in the old delights
OF caliph splendor and of genii grim:
The star wealth of Arabia's thousand nights
Shining till every other Light grows dim;
Wander away in broad, voluptuous lands,
BY streams OF silver and through golden

Still hear the storms OF Camoen> burst and

His seas OF vengeance raging wild and

Or wander by the surging fires Of he'll
With dreaming Dante and his spirit

Loiter in Petrarch's green, melodious grove
Or hang with ,rasso DER his hopeless love
