WHERE DOES THE Dew CONE FRoM.-To those who have never given the subject much consideration there is world of mystery con- nected with it, and We hear many erroneous opinions expressed in regard to the subject There is, however, one principle, if properly understood, will explain the whole matter. The atmosphere under certain conditions is capable of holding an immense quantity of invisible moisture. That condition is heat. The warmer the air, the more invisible moisture it contains The opposite of heat is required to bring the two gases that always exist in the atmosphere, oxygen and hydrogen, to that condition known as water, so that it may be visible to our sight. We have frequently noticed that when glass or earthen vessel is filled with cold water on a warm day, water suddenly forms upon the ves- sci. We say the vessel sweats. We have here the proper condition to form dew from the invisible moisture. So with the plant. After the suns rays cease to fall upon the earth, and night sets in, the earth radiates faster than the atmosphere !; OF in other words becomes cool before the air does, and the warm air coming in contact with the cool earth, congeals, so to speak, the two gases that form dew. But we find there are things the dew is heavier than upon others, as, Ior instance growing piant. Oho PiineiPie explains this. This plant radiates the heat faster than the earth, and hence gets an in creased quantity of moisture. So also does it explain why, in The cultivation Of crops, the ground should be kept loose and porous by fire. quent plowings, enabling it to radiate heat fast er and cool before the air does By this theory the reader will be enabled to understand why rains are apt to follow water courses why tim bered countries have more and heavier dews than do the prairie countries; and from this we shall readily understand the necessity of plant ing trees over our farms. The more substance we can collect upon the farm, that will give off heat fast, the more dew W

kfTOm tue NDftH Anerlcan.l DR.. Gould, the well-known astronomer, whose post Of observation is at Cordova, in | the Argentine Confederation, announce the appearance in the heavens of a great ! comet passing the sun northward, and which may shortly be expected to flash upon the vision of this hemisphere. This is news which will cause no small sensation among the astronomers. and their first impulse will be to question the accuracy of DIR. Gould's observations. They are not ON the outlook for any such celestial visitor as that whose advent is reported. No comet Of any importance is due this year, nor many years to come. Third and fourth rate specimens sire common enough. They are to be seen nearly every year, but as they are only sisa5ie by the aid Of strong glasses, they have no interest to the gem eral public, and their minuteness ~precludes them from serving any useful scientific purposes. The last great comet which famed above an admiring world was that Of 1861, which most of our readers will remember; but according 10 the programme arranged for 1t by the astronomers, this visitor will not return until the year 200. Donati's comet one OF the most magnificent of modern times, which Illuminated the western sky in lS5S-is not expected until some time in the thirty-eighth century-3S0s being the most probable year. The comet which suddenly appeared in proximity to the sun in February. 1913, and which passed nearer to that luminary than any other known body, traverses an orbit which cannot be completed in less than $50 years, SO that its r~eappearanee Is not nearly due. The famous comet Of HALEY, which disappeared from the telescope range on May ii. 1886, has an orbit which extends beyond the cir Gle of Neptune. 1t turned the corner, so to speak, in 1874, and is now rushing with ever increasing velocity toward the sun; but the distance to be crossed is so great that 1t will not have approached near enough TO be visable from the earth until some time In 1911.

rs Il W RfNttAA ~ AZ but my mind wanders off to one model-the aged one, who twenty-four years ago, we put away for the resur rection. About eighty years ago, and just before their marriage day, my father and mother stood up in the old meet ing house at Somerviile, N. j., and. took upon them the vows of the Chris tian. Through a long life of vicissi- tude my mother lived harmlessly and usefully, and came to her end in peace. No child of want ever came to her door and was turned empty away. No one in sorrow came to her but was comforted. No one asked her the way to be saved but she pointed him to the cross. When the angel of life came to a neighbours dwelling she was there to rejoice at the starting of another inn mortal spirit. When the angel of death came to that dwelling she was there to robe the departed for the burial. We had often heard her, when lead ing family prayers in the absence of my father, say:-ssO Lord, ] ask not for my children wealth or honor, but | do ask that they may all be the sub jects of Thy comforting graceln Her eleven children brought into the king dom of God. she had but one more wish. and that was that she might see her long-absent missionary son; and when the ship from China anchored in New York harbor, and the long
