' Tlio Earth's Great Age. * In a lecture at San Francisco , Prof. Wm. ) enton gave several striking illustrations of the earth's age. First , ho said , wo bad evidence of the earth's great ago in the , iny particles of soil beneath pur feet. The great trees of California with from UKO to 2,350 annlial rings of vegetable ; rowjh , reveal the fact that these mounrchc of the vegetable world were sailings when tfebuelmdue/zer wns born. Tlio great fal- en Monarch of the Forest has been csti- , mated to have becn,4)00 ( ) years old nudgrev- from seed propagated by older parent trees , and these in turn from grandparents , whoso crumbled dust forms a rich \ egetablo mould o nourish their younger progeny. How many Buch generations occurred no one can ell. But older than these are thr facial beds. When these ploughed their ' "yovcr the urfaee of North America Scandinavia . hey phmcd out mighty beds nud ground ind polished down the uneven surface of n "brmer age. In this remote age , the coast > f 'New England was like that of Grecn- and nt the present day. Few geologists will place the glacial period nt less than 00,000 j cars ago. Hut we could go back till further. In the tertiary strata of Cal- foruia has been found what nro called the earliest human remains ever discovered. These existed many thousand , years ago , vhcn one-half of New Jersey , one-thud Df Virginia , all of Florida , part of Tcxta ind Great Britain wcro under water. The kledilerraucnn sea wns then double ita pros' int size , and the Gulf of Mexico extended to Ohio. A largo part of California wan inder the bed .of the Pacific ocean , nnd vatcrs then extended back to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. But older than this period and formation was the underlying stratification of chalk ; still older was the Tnnssic , and older yet , .ho new red sand-slono. Older yet was the : arhoniferou3 formation. Then -further back was the old red sand-stone , such as comes to the surface in parts of Scotland. Again , still lower , the older Silurian , then the older Laurcntinu , seen nt the surface in vVestern Canada , and older yet 'than nil hcso the granite or great underlying rock , , ho parent that thrusts itself up ns the jnekhoue of continents , cutting through til others to show us on the surface what s below. What an infinity of time must aavo passed uway'iu the successive forma * ; lou of these rocky layers ! A Cure * of Pneumonia , Mr. D. IT. Barnaby , of Owego , N.

The report ? of the corn cpps grown by Vermont boys gUcn in Oeso columns recently is nn extraordinary lea- son for old farmers , nnd ono of the great est value. A few years ago it would have been received with incredulity , but the new ideas which now prcvnil In regard to corn render that surprising statement pf r- fcctly credible. What farmer after read ing the account given can doubt the possi bility of himself reaching the yield of 100 bushels of corn per acre. This record is but ono of many that have been gh cu in Ihcso columns during the past three or four ycan , nnd in each case the condlticius of success nppcar to bo the panic. This unanimity of result Is suflU'lcntto amount to n law , nud Its requirements may bo laken as including every tiling that is need ed for one to reach the same ends. These requirements nro very simple and but few In number. They nro : The selection of good seed of some established variety j good soil , well prepared ; nbumlantmanur ing or fertilizing , and the best cultivation frequently given and long continued , nnd in many cases It has been shown that level cultivation IB most cflectivc. Now t'hcso requirements are nothing new. Every farmer knows that they arc needed ibrnny wul every crop nnd that , when they are provided , the soil responds with nlncrlty and liberality , nnd the corps reach the maximum. It is simply doing the best for the soil , always generous nnd ready to re pay back with Interest what Is given to it. It 'is the true principle of economy , which Is , 1i > use the means wo have so ns to pro duce the very best results , knowing that every surplus' bushel produced by the ml- dition of fertilisers nud cultivation ndds to the piollt in n larger ratio , because the flxed charges for land , for plow Ing , for the seal , for planting , for the greater part of the ciiHUntion , for the cutting , huiidllm ; nnd hauling nro the s\nio : forvcn bushels per ncro grown on poor soil as 100 bushels per ncro giown on the richest land. Air mid water tire food for plants ; they not only contribute to their sustenance , but they issist proportionately in reduc ing organic matter to its mineral elements , nnd to a r < olublo condition , nnd to cfl'ect r. disintegrating and eohcnt action of the mineral particles of the noil. The more the surface of the soil is stirred and loosened ened the more moisture is absorbed and reaches the roots ; and nstho circulation of moisture nnd tlio changes of tcmpcraturo consequent upon It arc iicccssnrily foHow- -J by citculntion of air , both water nud air .re , thciefore , encouraged to circulate iu the ( .oil ) jy ficqueiit cultivation , nnd time the desired nud necessary ctfccls arc pro duced. One of the largest crops of corn that has been giownz. ' . , 100 bushels per ncrc , vas cultivated once a week up to the timo' when the ears were forming , and when the silk had been ft-rlMs-ed ; nnd nt thin late period n dressing of special corn fertiliser was cultivated into the soil. It is one of the points to bo aimed at that tlio growth of cars nnd grain should bo cn- counigod rather than that of stalk and leaf , excepting np to n certniu size. Jf stall : nine or ten feet in length w largo 'nough for the purpose of fodder , and if it is no' more than ono nud onv-haif inches Iu thickness ul the base it in enough. Plen- 'y of leaf growth is dcsirab'.u because the Train cnnuotbemnlurcd without this ; buf beyond the requirements of the grain , ex- icssivo leaf growth is Hot of importance. I Tow it seems to bo proved that frequent cultivation of the soil helps the plant to produce more grain , increase its sexual fer tility nnd prevents abortive cars or vacant spaces in the cars , and this is precisely wlfat wo should nim nt iu growing com , became wo can grow large enough stalks , but wo do not very often bring ony where near maturity the numerous smr.ll cars or nubbins , or till with ears the iiinny husks which appear nt the sheaths. If wo can succeed in doing this , as has been very suc cessfully nttcmptcd by Professor Blount , wo cannot tell what the limit of the pos sible product of corn may bo up to 200 or ' 300 bushels per acre. For if we cnn 'pro duce eight or ten good cars on every stalk upon au aero of ground and this has been done upon some stalks wo need not stop short of COO or 800 bushels of grain per acre. Whether wo mny ever reach the half or the quarter of this no ono can tell , butv/hen wo consider what has been done it mny not be very insh to hint at what may yet be done when wo shall have learn ed the whole secrets of corn-grow ing. The ccessity for thorough culthatlou of the -ail and the ubscnce of weeds among the jlants frequent and clean cultivation , in "bet , is the lourth new idea tnnt wo have learned in regard to corn-growing.

The weather wns good un- 1 the 17th. At or about half-post two /clock in the afternoon of that day Cap- aln Williams nnd n number of the officers , row and passengers wcro astonished by the .ppcaranco of a largo waterspout. I have ecu. this remarkable phenomena .before , ut never on such a gigantic uenlo , The jrst ono was seen uboutslx mi lea away. A stream of water seemed to riho frpm the level of the ocean , and at the same time nether stream descended from the hcnvcnr , nd depended from a dark rain-cloud like great icicle. The two btreams met abcu ( uidwny between sky nnd water , mii1 Him began to move rapidly to the eastward The boso of the waterspout appeared to be nearly a quarter of a mile wide , nnd then it tapcied townrd the middle into nn al most imperceptible line. Suddenly itbroke ud there wns a mighty heavlug nnd turn uing about of the waters in iho vicinity yVo saw twelve spouts that ufternoon dur ing some heavy rain squalls. At ono tlmi I Baw four of them at once. Thry looket like Ipfty flplres of a cathedral. Througl our glasses wo could sec that the tops ol the spouts were lost in the clouCs. It is BcieutiUo fact that the discharge of a call lion in the neighborhood will ulwayc cans thoae wntcr-columnu to break. The passeu gers insisted that the dUchargoof a piste would create Buflicicntibrutlon in the ai to destroy a spout which was n miU awnj I loaded my revolver mid llrcd twice at th spout. At the second shot it broke , don't know whether it was tlio result o the firing or not , hut the thing luippcnei just as 1 tell you , and ( it least it was a K inaiknblo coincidence. Kvery time nbpou burnt , the top part of it Bccmcd to vanis ] into vapor , but the under purl would roc ! the scft for ml lea , nnd our vessel cxperieui ed the violent clltcts. In fact , nil thn afternoon the water was disturbed Hc\ cnil times it wns thought wo would hay tochnugo our course , but the sji > uta dl uofc approach too ueur for safety.
