weighing 5000. 800 pounds. How much
is that? More than 1000 tons. or al
most the weight Of 10000 fun grown
persons. or about equal to 1000 ladened
coal cars of four tons each, which. If
strung out one behind the other. would
occupy a mile and a half of track.
On the very top of the dome the al

in air. The pressure of this dome and
figure upon the piers and pillars is
14.411 pounds to the square foot. 1t
would, however. require a pressure of
100, 2S6 pounds to the square foot to
crush the supports of the dome. The
cost of this immense dome was little

Iceland. Hot Sprtnx.

The hot springs in Reykjadal. though
not the most magnificent. are perhaps
the most curious among the numerous
phenomena of this sort in Iceland. On
entering the valley you see columns of
vapor ascending from different parts
of it, There are Il number of apertures
in sort of platform of rock. The wa
ter is 212 degrees f.. and it rises two
or three feet into the air. A river
flows through the valley. in the midst
of which jet of boiling water issues
with violence from a rock raised but q
few feet above the ice cold water OF
the river.
Not far from this is the grotto OF
cave of Surt. which is so large that nc
one mas penetrated to its inner end.

A Problem About Corn.

Here is puzzle in geometry 1t
does not require a skilled Aathema-
tician. however. to solve it.
1t is required to demonstrate tgeo-

can be grown on an acre of level
ground than on an acre of slanting
ground. The stalks of corn are sup
posed to grow perpendicularly in both
cases. and all other particulars. such as
fertility of the soil and the like. to be
the same.
The ingenious reader will probably
