Pe By far the most serious difficulty in | c0 the process ox honey collecting by bees 0T; arises from the extreme minute: he quantities of nectar which each flower ! yields, and from its being diluted?in i ^ some cases so poor in saccharine matter that its sweetness is not appreciable to j re the tongue. Tho strength of the ce sugary fluid varies in different flowers, i ^ and even in the same flowers at dif- /?p x- i ce ierem i:nits. v^uuseiiiiriiwj tuc muoi< j direct way of estimating the yield of. honey is to ascertain the actual qnantity ! of sngar in each fiovrer. This can easily be done by chemical methods. j Vj If we take a large number of flowers, wash ont their nectar and determine : the sugar in the solution, we can cal-1 cnlate from the number of flowers used the average amount cf sugar in each j ^ flower with the greatest precision. j a'r Experiments conducted in this way , cr< showed each flower of the fuchsia to j s* contaiL little more than the tenth part; ^ of a grain of sugar. In monkshood the : eo amount was rather less than the tenth }0J of a grain, while in the everlasting pea aE it was found to be three-twentieths of UT a srrain for each flower. In smaller n, flowers the quantity is proportionately j gj less. Thus each flower of the little j 0? naturalized American water-blink only j wj contained six-handredthe of a grain, and ! ^ in those minute flowers which grow j as together in compact masses the am junt j m( was still smaller. A raceme, consisting j ov of twenty Cowers of the vetch, only j s^. yielded flve-hundredths of a crain, or a ; tri little over c-ne five-hundredth for each ; #0. flowrct. One bead of common red j e~a ?ir?"* ut a ; grain (exactly .1224). Now each head | to of clover contains about sixty distinct i ka flower tubes, each of which must there- i yy fore have a portion cf sugar not exceed- j ing the one five-hundredth part of a I x,c grain. Tbe probosis of the bee must | sjj rniiw.'in.-ri!? ha in.vprf.pd into five i j...: ? "" ' hundred clover tubes before one grain , nc of sugar can be obtained. There are i ^j, 7,COO grains in a pound, so that for j fc: every pound of sugar, procured in this ! way, 3,500,000 flower tubes must be | e-nptied. Honey, however, only con- j tains three-fourths of its weight of cry i sugar, so that every pound of honey is ; equivalent to more than 2,500,000 of | clover tubes sucked by bees. | fThis shows what an amazing amount | of labor they mutt perform. Their ! sei industry would appear to be indispensa- j ble to their very existence. These j el< amounts also reveal to what an extent j the visita'ion of flowers must go on in i f0 the insect world, and help us to under- j stand hc-w it is that flowers are so i dependent on insects for fertilization, j c so tha; we can well believe the forms of i . flowers to have been determined in A ?ATAft 1 them, and thai the colors of the petals ; be may serve to attract insects by "way of; advertisement, as colored bills attract; the eyes of bu>y men. This view oi' the | use of color and odor in flowers may j t seem to smack too ranch of trade and j a*' commerce, nevertheless it is the view to J ^hich scieccG now gi -vs undivided i csupport. We have bee-j . o long ac j customed to look on the L-. uuty of the ; be floral world a<s if it were exclusively for ! man's gratification, that it is difficult j for ns to believe that the delicately : Qr> perfumed and showy petals of the rose I ~ or lily should be primarily intended for i the benefit of the plant possessing j , 1 them. But it must be remembered that j DSL each organism lives for itself, has its j _ * own. laws, and does rot possess any be organ which is exclusively for the ad- j ^e vantag j^ another.?

In an interesting letter from Columbo, ' island of Ceylon in the Indian Ocean, a ; correspondent says: Adverting to j tanks, there are in Ceylon over one j thousand and two hundred large and i sruaii, scattered over the surface of the j island, mostly of veiy remote antiquity, j affording ample proofs of the skill of! the ancient population in the eollcetion j and distribution of water. Many of [ these receptacles, excavated on level j plains, were supplied by moans of dams i across rivers, or by aqueducts over deep \ ravines, and others by water-courses j around hills and over valleys. Thns were formed extensive reservoirs for i irrigation when the supply of water j from natural source? failed. A few of i these, more especially in the Southern j and Eastern provinces, have been re-1 paired by the British colonial govern- j meat, and. the cultivation of pad, ee; (rice) in their neighborhoods is apparently on the increase, though not to such j an extent as is desirable. Until this j year the cultivation -was subject to a ! severe tax on all the grain he raised, amounting from ten to fifty per cent, oi the crop, according to locality ; and this frightful impost v,as farmed out to rapacious renters, maDy of -rc-hom adopted such mischievous modes of collection as somerimes resulted in the poor goya (farmer) being mulcted of the moiety of his produce. Such a system was, of course, scarcely conducive to extensive cultivation. Under tho pre sent governor, however, a much reduced tax is imposed, and the mode of cultivation is said to preclude ali such injustice, oppression and spoliation, as the unfortunate native agriculturist is reputed to have endured for several past generations. Another great object gained by the ancients from their immense irrigation systems was the facilitating of inland navigation. Many of the large tanks were connected together and with rivers by canals in such manner that much of the interior of the island was easily reached by water craft. The rivers themselves were of considerable size?one, the Mahaville Gauge, or Great iswd river, being some one hundred and fifty miles long, and like several oilier streams, navjgaoie oj boats during most of tho year. Tliese inland water routes, more especially the canals and lakes, are now dried up, and the- river traffic is nearly abandoned, beiDg superseded by land carriage over the most excellent svstem oi cartroads in tlie world. Besides, there are the railroads, one of which penetrates the mountain zone one hundred and twenty miles, to and far beyond Kandy, which half a century since was the nearly inaccessible stronghold and capital of the native kisgs. By this route many thousand tons of coifee and numerous oilier valuable commodities, the product of European enterprise, finds its way annually to the sea coast for shipment abroad. The mountain zone, whereby the climate of Ceylon is so exquisitely modulated, abounds with lovely panoramic viev/s. Many of the elevations are very high ior so small an island. Fidtiru Tallavnlla is 8,295 feet and oveilocks Nuwera-Elgia (city of light). This is the sanatarium town, and it lies in a beautiful plain over G,700 fv-et above the sea. Kirigalpota is 7,837 feet high, Totapalakuna, 7,750 feet; Kuduhujala, 7,G07 feet, and Samanala (idurn's Peak,) 7,358 feef high. The latter overlooks the far famed gem district of Sabaragamuwa and is reputed by Buddhists to hav been the resting place of one of their deity's feet, when he stood with the other implanted on the top of another sacred mountain in Siam. They even show the footprint in the rock in corroboration of their belief. The Mohamme dans, However, declare tnau Aaam, alter being driven from Paradiso, was confined on a peak in tlio Island of Serendeb (Gey ion) and made to stand vm - v???? 11- -vuvrfq?o* ?ctrrtT?n\J^ and suffer icq- had expiated bis offense, and thus was formed the footprint. cLowever this may be, both BadrShists iind Mohammedans mako toilsome pilgrimages to the top of this rock. The summit is an elliptical level, 72x51 feet, surrounded by a live-foot vsall, and in the center of this space is the apex of the mountain, a solid rock about nino feet high on which is the so-called sacred footprint; inclosed by a frame of copper and ornamented "with rows of precious stories. A substantial building of wood, in charge of a Buddhist priest, surmounts the roc!;, secured by iron chains. There is another structure for the shelter of visitors, though natives seldom make much use of it, as they have a tradition that only Europeans and priests can pass a night on the peak with impunity, the dread consequences being death or severe sickness. Occasionally some one of the many Europeans who now visit the rock spends a night there, and Major Forbes, in his book, "Eleven Years in Ceylon," very graphically describes the sensations of his night's sojourn there, "i'our correspondent, however, made his visit during the bright light of a lovely summer day, when from the summit there was a grand view of forest clad r^nnritoiric V>?v<s rn/^lrc <vr>rl T>r<v?irv? distant valleys, into whicn tumbled bright, shining cascades and mountain torrents boiling over stony bottoms. There were also river.-! meandering through lovely vales to the far-away distant sea, which, king jVt within the line cf vision, appeared Jiiio a streak of blue ether, blending with the humid haze in which all distant objects were ! merged. Beside the Kalu ganga (Black River) j at the foot of Gamanaia lies the town :>f! Ratnapura (City of Gems,) and in this j city precious stones abound, $2,000,000 ' or 63.000,000 vorth bain/ :he probable output of all the mines yearly. These consist of rubies, sapphiies, topazes, asteria3, catseyes, alexsndeites. and a host of inferior stones. These stones are obtained by the Singhalese and Moors from beds of rivers, crevices in rocks, pits dug in the alluvial soil and from shafts sunk deep down through the bed-rock?in fact very much after the manner of auriferous mining in California. v ery good iron ore is also iounci in this neighborhood, which the natives i Lrp.eit with cbarcoal and pound out the J rocks, making a superior quality of metal, which they fashion into rude, but useful, tools' and implements. The jewelers' art is also practiced with great; success, the silver work of Ratnapura \ being celebrated here and much ad-1 anred rbroad. Amr.ng other notable objects there is i famous Buddhist temple, dedicated :o Samana, the tutelar deity of Sabagaaauwa. contiguous to the right bank of r-civ r\^?. 4 r\ "Pofnonnro i x i \.t I wycv/ k-v/ xvu?.uw^/ui i*? xuv ianding is from the water's edge by a miserable flight of steps to a mam mtrance opening into two courtyards, occupying about two ard j i-half acres, inclosed separately by srick walls.

Above the main building j s a two-storied apartment, where the paraphernalia of Sarnana is kept, to- J ;ether with a relict of Buddha, which ; s carried in procession during the July j ;r August festival of each year.

There are nonsands of monkeys, whose mischievous pranks form the theme of nacy amusing storie3. One of the best old here is about Major Borers, the f famous elephant shot, who did not cease ; enumerating his slaughters of that gigantic beast until they esceedtd two ; thousand!

Year llonv.d says : The Tunisian Arabs have. passion tor flowers, and as soon as their spring commences, even the poor ami the raggedest may be seen with a delicatelyscented blossom si;:ck above his ear, the stock resting amid tho folds o? his turban and the Sorer projecting forward over his dark cheek.

The perfumes distilled at Tunis have been famous from time immemorial, and I really think the Tunisians are right when they declare that their roses are sweeter than all others. There is one very large, rather pale rose in. particular, from which the famous attar is extracted, which exhales an odor so powerful and yet so delicate that it scarcely seems a figure of speech ; to speak of " odors of Paradise," and ! one can understand that the MohamI medan's heaven would hardly be complete without it.

The Insect Population, j In 1S49 Alexander Von Humboldt j estimated that the number or species of i insects preserved in collections at beI tween 150,000and 170,000; Europealone | being represented by more than three i iica.cc s^i iiiony ot ? -o? | phanerogamous plants. Ten years ogo 1 Dr. Geistacker estimated the number cf j speciesof insects to be 225,000, five limes j as many as the known ppecxes of all I other animals together. If we assume I that there exists in the whole world only ! three times as many insects as there are j phanerogamous plants?the latest esti| mationof which approaches 223,000?we arrive at the startling sum of about 750,000. Bewildering as this estimate appears, it is probably too low. The oak alone gives shelter and support to 450 species of insect?, and the pine to more than 200, and one moth a!ou?his thirtyfive different species of parasites ! TVithout going further in our calculation, tve may safely assert that it' the number of species of all other classes of animals should be doubled by new discoveries (which is rather improbable for some classes, and imros^ible for the vertebrates,) the number of species of insects would be more than five times that oi all other animals taken together. Electricity in Lighthouses. The annual report of the lighthouse ! board recommends the introduction of i electricity in some of the " tivst order I seacoast lights." Congress, i; is to be hoped, will enact the necessary legislatioD. The improvements ia electric lamps, burners and in all the agencies for generating electricity mako the experiment safe, (n fact, the question of the snpply and regulation of light in this way is no longer one of experiment. Electricity has supplanted every other form of artificial light in some of our largest business establishments. In j many cities aud towns it has driven out gas for the purposes of street ilhiminai tious, and will do so in New Yorli as ! scon as the necessary machinery can be arranged. The adoption of the electric light would be a very great benefit to mariners. There are acmosphcrical conditions under which it can be seen when all other lights are invisible. The government should keep up with the improvements oi the time.?New York Herald. A Lizard Under His Skin. There is a colored man in New London, Mo., who for years has claimed that he had a scorpion nnder his skin, and that it crawled from place to place j over his body. A short time since Drs. | Sprague and Rails of London, a coaple | of scientists, coaxed the man to submit i to a snrgical operation for the ; . ^va.1 i of the varmint. They distinctly t;. \;d j the animal nnder the man's skin from 1 his waist over the left shonider, and j thence back aqain to a position between ; the thiphs and knee of the right leg. i Clasping the limb above and below where the animal seemed to be, they j administered chloroform to the man, ! and making an incision in the leg took j therefrom a living reptile?not a scor- i pion, but something resembling a lizard, j It was placed in a vial of alcohol, ami j the doctors hare had several offers for ! its purchase.

Among the various prticles c ' trade j exported from New 7 ?aland perhaps the i most curious is a species of fungus which j grows on decaying trees in all parts of I the North Island, but most plentifully ; in the provincial district of Taranaki. | In slnpe this fungus resembles the ; human ear, and it is of a brown color j and semi-transparent when fresh.

The T milk w?s received from about forty ? dairies of native cows (about 400) and t put into cheese vats in the morning, j c then heated to eighty-six degrees (as the j v milk was to be mado into cheese the j c same afternoon) ; ;-ix hours afterward it j t wa^ skimmed and the cream placed in i r i paiis or cans, surrounded by water of i g ! about sixty degrees temperament, whert- j s it remained twenty-four hours, or until it (the cream) became slightly acid;; then churned in a square bos churn ; until the butter globules became about the size of a buckshot; the buttermilk : was then drawn end the butter rinsed in ; the churn with cold water, placed on ; vrorker, salted (J ounce per pound,) j i lightly worked, put away for eighteen j ; or twenty hours, then worked again and j i packed in the tubs for market. j i To Keei> Very Shaded Places Clean. Especially in the front yards of dwell| ings, both in town and country, which i are much shaded, we often see the i ground completely bare, not a living | thing being perceptible. Sometimes j there are many nearly nude, straggling I limbs ljing upon the gronnd or very j near it. which are unsightly and every j I way worthless, that ought to be cut I : away. This would give room for the I growing there of some plant or vine that | would be adapted to it, and which would | not only recover the naked spot and I ! make it a "living green," but would be ! adding very much to the general appeari ance of the premises. The best vine .'or j this purpose is undoubtedly the perij winkle. It will grow almost anywhere in th3 shade if the proper attention is given to it, but not otherwise. It is a beautiful vine and will densely cover ] the ground, producing nearly the whole ' season a very pretty blue flower. "Weeds, < however, are its deadly enemies.

A Boston reporicr, while in the office of the New York and Boston Despatch Express Company, had a conversation with Mr. B. F.Larabee, one of the directors of the c.-mpany, who gave the following personal experience: A little over a year ago I was taken sick. 1 did not know what the trouble wa?, but 1 continued to grow worse, and my complaint baffled the skill of my doctors. At last mv symptoms developed into that terrible complaint, Bright's disease, which baa been pronounced incurable by all physi- j ciaus. ilv sufferings at that time were unspeakable* i was bloated from head to foot; | my heart pained me; my pulse was irregular, and 1 was unable to breathe except in sfiort, convulsive gasps. While suffering thus I learned of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and although I had been given up to die by the prominent physicians of Boston, and triey had told my friends i could not live a week, I resolved to try this remedy as a last resoit. I am rejoiced to say it has effected a perfect cure in my case, anil with many of my friends, who have been afflicted wiih kidney troubles, either of long standing or in their acute forms, and who, under my advice, have +Hia mn?t Tcnnflftrfiil rnmiidv." Less time spent in idle dreaming and devoted to the duties of life would give ue wealth ! and contentment. Oa Thirty Days' Trial.
