Dew.
In a late article, we explained lome of
the fanctions oftheaqueo?s vapor ?rthe
atmosphere. We explained its office in
checking evaporation from animal and
vegetable organisms; in forming rain,
the food; and the vehicle of-the rood, of
plants; in forming snow, nature's blank?

freezing in the soil prevents compactness
and agglutination of the soil, ana so ren?

We notice (5) the function of aqueous
vapor in the formation of dew. In dis?
cussing this subject, we must strip it of
its poetical features. We are not;to con?
sider the dew-drops as the fleeting dia?
monds with which nature bedecks. even
the grass of the fields, nor as the tears
whicii pitying.augeb shed, upou tiicsox
rowing earth. The subject may be so
treated, however, that it will gain in true
dignity and 'importance. g
? Awb?dy^c?n .^akejdew at pleasure,:
and^uMas natur?ma&s lit. > when we
put ice and water into a pitcher, the
outer surface of the vessels i. covered at
once with drops of water, or dew. There
is always aqueous vapor in the atmos?
phere, and aqueous vapor is water with
a certain amount of latent beat in it.
When this heat is taken away; the vapor
becomes water again. The chilled sur?
face of. th e pitcher robbing the aqueous
vapor of its latent heat", converts the'va-*
por into water. Now, the earth. and-ali.
objects on its surface area! wayaTadiating,."'
or throwing off, heat into free space.
During the day the heat received from
the sun is greater than.; the amount lost
by radiation'. * Hence4, there is no reduc?
tion, but rather an elevation, of tempera?
ture. But when the 3ub; 3ets,. the. earth'
continues to lose heat, and receives none.
Its temperature, therefore, is reduced,
and the aqueous vapor of the atmosphere;
coming in contact with the chilled earth,
? loses its heat, and is -condensed and de?
posited as dew.
Let us notice some of the circumstances
that modify the deposit of dew.", \ , ,'y
(1) The greater the amount of aqueous
vapor in the atmosphere, the greater,
other things being equal, will be the de?
posit. . j When the atmosphere is absolure
.ly saturated with aqueous vapor, that u,
holds as much as possible for its temper?
ature, the slightest reduction of tempera*
tore is attended with the formation of
dew, aud if the redaction is considerable,
the.deposit of dew k correspondingly co?
pious. Hence, nut unfrequently, the
grass becomes wet even before .the^un
basset. Hence, also, we findthe ^grass
in the morning, when the atmosphere is
moist, perfectly drenched with dew, pro?
vided the preceding night has been
clear and still. On the other, hand,, in
drought, the grass infrequently so dry in
the early morning that we may walk in
it at will without dimming the polish of
our boots.
(2) Another modifying circumstance is
the clearness of the heavens. Clouds
reflect back the radiant heat and prevent
the necessary reduction of temperature;
The most oppressive night? in summer
are generally cloudy nights. The radian t
heat is not thrown off and lost in free
space, but is thrown back to the earth by
the clouds, and hence the sultry,, suffo?
cating feeeliog we experience on cloudy
summer nights. Take a certain weight
of wool and lay it on the brass at sunset,
and stretch three or four feet above it on
uprights a thin piece of cloth, Place
near by on the grass, but unprotected,
an equal weight of wool, and on each
parcel put a thermometer. On examina?
tion the next morning at sunrise, the
thermometer lying on the unprotected
wool will be lower and that parcel will
also weigh more than the other. Why?
One explanation covers both facts. The
unprotected wool radiated, without ob?
struction, its heat into free space. Hence
Its temperature was mo-e redoced and
the deposit of dew, increasing its weight,
was accordingly greater. Hence - the
practice of gardeners in stretching loose
matting, or even extending a hoard,
x>vex tend s vegetation when frost
is feared. Like the clouds, the con?
trivances reflect back the ridiant heat,
and less reduction of temperature is the
result.
(3) For the deposit of dew to be copious
the atmosphere must be still. Why?
Consider a meadow thickly set in
grass. The grass is radiating its
heat, as rapidly becoming chilled.
If the atmosphere be still, it
will also become chilled by contact with
the cold grass, and its vapor will be con?
densed aud deposited. But when the at:
mosphere is in motion, the same stratum
of air does not brood over the cold grass
long enough to have its temperature
sufficiently reduced to condense its vopor.
It is for these reasons, that the farmer,
particularly the tobacco grower, when
threatened by frost?which is but frozen
dew?fears the still, clear night. At the
; close .of an anxious day, his fears
;vauish if clouds appear, or. the;-wind
rises. We summarize these points
bysayii.^, that for copious deposits of
dew, the atmosphere must be humid,
still and serene.
(4) There is another matter connected
with the formation of dew, which is well
calculated to arrest attention. All ob?
jects possess different radiating powers,
and hence lose heat at night with differ?
ent rates of facility. Living vegetation
radiates heat far more freely than dead
vegetation or any form of organic matter.
Consequently when the supply of dew is
sparse, living vegetation, which needs it
gets all or nearly all; dead matter gets
none or nearly none. Hence at all is
discoverable on the gravel walks, on the
plank fences, or ricks of straw. Nature,
though prodigal of her gifts, is not the
less frugal. When the supply of dsw is
moderate, she bestows it exclusively on
objects that neod its life-giving power, aud
gives it to the objects that need it less
only when the supply is large and she
can afford to be lavish. What wonder?
ful wisdom is that which has endowed
the different, forms of ..matter with the
power of wringing water from the invisi?
ble atmosphere in exact proportion to the'r
several wants? Can it be other tbau
divine? Somebody else, besides the
undevout astronomer, is mad.
According to the foregoing, plants
must be chilled in order to obtain the de?
posit of dew. When the cold is sufficient
to freeze the dew, then we have frost and
the consequent cessation of vegetable life.
The plant, then, must be chilled to ob?
tain the dew it needs, and yet is liable to
be killed by the very cause that is neces?
sary to the deposit. To ward off tbii
d inger and to protract and invigorate veg?
etable life, another beautiful and striking
provision comes into play. Let us see.
We beat a volume of water at such a rate
that its temperatue rises, say, 10. degrees
per minute. When the temperature
reaches 212 degrees, the thermometer
placed in tbo water ceases to rise, but
becomes stationary and remains so fur
100 minutes, at the end of which time all
the water is gone,?is converted into
steam. During this 100 minutes, the
source of heat being constant, 10 degrees
entered every minute, aud yet the water
and escaping steam stood at 212. What
has become of this 1,000 degrees of beat,
which has not made the water or the
steam hotter, of which the thermometer
takes no cognizance? It has beeu em?
ployed in effecting a change of state,
converting liquid water into the vapor of
water. Urge on tbe heat as we will after
water begins to boil, it gets no hotter. I
The water is 212, the escapiug steam is
212. All this excess of beat is spent in
converting a liquid iuto its vapor, and is
called latent beat, because neither our
feelings nor the thermometer can detect
it. Now, when the vapor of water,
becomes water, this latent heat is thrown
outand causes an elevation of temperature.
Nature performs for us on a grand scale
experiments illustrative of this principle.
Wnen clouds begin to form, that is when
vopor eondempw tatQ water, ?beza &'
ways a sensible deration of the temper?
ature of the atmosphere, due to the ev?
olution of latent .beat. In winter the
e?ecfr'is moreconspicunns and noticeable
than in summer, for reasons which Vwe
cannot in this place discuss. The cold,
clear days-of-winter?who-.cannot recall
ttem I. ?ow, let', us-apply-.this doctrine
to the subject in band. . When aqueous
vapor is condensed as dew upon a plant
its latent beat is thrown o?t and warms
up the air immediately over the plant,
so that the -plant, to get dew, must
be chilled, and in - getting dew is
farmed.- ;Ig-Mbls the period
of growth and ripening is protrac?
ted to a later period in the fall than
?would - otherwise bs possible, and the
farmer' is " softly admonished of the ap?
proaching advent of.winter.
Consider the tobacco - field?tbe broad,
bending leaves ripening in the mild Sep
-tamhex, -Those leayesrto become heavy
and oily, demand dew. To get dew,
tbey must be chilled ; but if chilled too
-much, they are ruined. As dwvAh depos

Toe deposits of dew are most abundant
exactly when it is most neoded by vege?
tation. We have copious dew in April
and May, September and October, and
but little in July and August. In April
and May, the seeds are justrsprouting, or
the roots at most are bat att inch or two
below, tbe surface. A fow, hot, windy
days wrjuId dry the soilj t? tue ^ roots; and
below, and tience the young plants would
die from lack of moisture. Every night,
thenr iiature furnishes, the baby plants
with pap in the form of dew. The same
reasoning applies exactly to September
and October, when wheat aDe other veg?
etation, that are to live through tbe win?
ter, are trying - to get hold Aw become
securely Wehored before cold weather
sets in. But, in July and August, tbe
roots have struck down six, twelve, eigh?
teen inches, to tbe tbe region of perma?
nent moisture. Tbey can live and thrive
for weeks now without rain; for moisture
is stored away in tbe earth for their use
between tbe rains, and tbey -are, to a
large exteutM independent, of the dew.
They get but little dew; (bey need but
Jittle... ; cd tip LL?
The philosophy of dew-formation ex
' plains^ clearly why dew is (mostaband&qt
: exaclly when it is most needed: 31a May
or September, the days are shorter and
cooler than in July. Tbe earth at
sunset in these two months, is many de?
grees coofer than at sunset in mid^um
fmer. To sink to the dew-point, there
'fore, it has to radiate into space less heat
and has, in.the comparatively long nigbt,
more time to do it in. We have, there?
fore, the heaviest deposits of dew in the
spring and fall, when it is most needed
j because then less work is necessary to
i produce the deposit and more time is al?
lowed -in the long eights for doing the
work.
Can we, to any extent, control the de
Swit of dew? Unquestionably, we can.
/hen land is deeply plowed, the air,
striking down as far as the soil is loosen?
ed, comes into contact with earth cool
enough to condense aqueous vapor. Thus
dew may be copiously deposited deep
down among tbe rootlets of plant?, where
it is most needed, though; none may bt
seen on tbe surface of'the earth. The
earth is a very feeble conductor of heat,
and hence is much cooler, in summer,
ten or twelve inces below than a; tbe
surface. Tbe more deeply land is plowed,
therefore, the more freely is air admitted
into the deep soil, where its aqueous va
pnr is condensed among the rootlets, and
left behind in tbe form of dew.?Reli?

A KIYER OF FIRE.
-Scene* at Maano Loa, the Hawatih ? Vol?
cano, Described.
Hawaiian advices to the 9th inst. are
received by the China merchant steamer
Ho Cbnng to-day. The Gazette gives
additional particulars about the great
eruption of Mauna Loa. It says: "The
view from Hilo of that outbreak upon
Mauna.Loa has shown some remarkable
changes during tbe past week. The
flow toward Kan is diminishing. Par?
ties returned from Kilauea report that
tbe stream is flowing very slowly and,
as seen from the Valcano -House, is los?
ing its fire day by day. Kilauea, how?
ever, is exceedingly active, presenting
unusual attractions. The most active
?ow now is .that running from . near tbe
summit of Mauna Loa in a northerly
direction, or towards Mauna Kea.
Clouds for the greater portion of tbe
time have obscured tbe mountains, light*
ihg*. "however, at iritervals to reveal tbe
aul Line, fires still doing their awful work.
Saturday evening, November 20, was vero
clear, and an eruption was observed in
three distinct craters, with a great flow
of molten lava ruuning from one to
another, and one down the sides of the
mountain to the north, apparently.
Parties watching the mountain from
Hilajust at dusk noticed a sodden erup
tfou or explosion from one of these cra?
ters. An immense amount of material
was suddenly thrown several hundred
feet into tbe air. Wednesday evening,
November 4, was also very clear, and
the pyrotecuic display, which was very
magnificent, could be admired by all be?
holders. On Thursday morn;og tue mour ?
tain was clear for an hour, and revealed'
through tbe glare that tbe configuration
of the dome-like surface of Mauna Loa is
much changed. Two crater-mounds of
considerable height breaks its even frout,
lying apparently two or three miles
apart. The second is northwest of the
first. A third crater, at a little greater
distance and north of the second, was
also observed, and iu all three there
seems to be great activity. At times
during tbe uight the clouds cleared away,
revealing; columns of fire and smoke, not
only ,duuriog from the three/ great centres
of activity, DUt from tbe whole line.
Several parties have gone to the scene of
action, and those who have returned
speak of the flow as awful beyond de?
scription, rolling,;grinding, and burning
its -terrible way With irreaistrble force."
Just before the departure of the steamer
a heavy column of smoke aud flame on
the line of the advance seemed to indi?
cate that the flow is in the Hilo woods.
A correspondent from the field writes as
follows: "Lava has flowed about twenty
five miles toward Hilo, and is now in the
neighborhood of twenty miles away. It
is from a quarter to a half mile wide at
tbe upper part of its courae, and from
three-quarters to a mile wide at the
lower end. It has entered tbe woods on
one side, and as it rises high, about fifty
five feet, which is specially high at this
point, its front looks threatening, though
I did not see any portion of it in motion
at tbe lower end, but conclude that the
motion was at the centre and of rotary
nature, rolling the masses of lava ana
click stones to either side in great piles.
As it rushed along, increased activity at
the fountain head could be- plainly
detected along tbe line of tbe flow by the
increased number of steam holes and the
escaping smoke. I saw no trees burning,
though the steam had advanced iuto tbe
upper woods."
? The Dublin correspondent of the
London Times says; "A more repulsive
and terrible year has never come upon
the country. Its history may be written
in two words?'Distress and Disturbance.'
It came in with tbe begging-box, and has
gone out with the bludgeon. It will take
many years to reconstruct tbe social sys?
tem now in ruins, and few can be san?
guine enough to hope the task will be
accomplished in the present generation."
? "Go where there is tbe most sin,
sir," said the old clergyman's coachman,
when asked which of two calls the
dominie ought to accept. The good man
thought over it, and concluded that
where there was most money there would
be the most sin. So he accepted tbe cSTl

The facts concerning the origin of the

of the Oon federate "knd-f he elevation Be*
I yond occupied by the Federal line, saw a
body of troops moving towards hi<v leh
and-the Federal right; ~>He Wi* greatly
I concerned to know, but could not decide,
j what troops they were?Whether Federal'
J or Confederate. The similarity of uniform
land of colors carried by:r-the qpppsing
j armies, and the elbuds of dust, made it
I aimost impossible to decide.
I Shortly, before, this -time General,
j Beauregard had.received from the signal'
I officer, Captain Alexander, ? dispatch
sayl?fSr tBT:*r from the signal*station in the
jrerr he has sighted tbe colors of thw
j column, drooping and covered with' the
dust of journeyings, but could not tell
] whether tiiey. wore .the-s,tar*-aud stripes or
rfie'Strr^and bajs. ,:He though t, however,
I tbatTfhey were probably Patterson's troops
j arriving on the field aud reinforcing tbe
I enemy.
1 General Beauregard was momentarily
expecting help .from, the right, and the
j uncertainty and anxiety or this hour
j amounted to ajiguiah. ? Still the column
i pressed on. . Calling a staff officer, Gen
j eral Beauregard instructed him to go at
j once to General Johnston, at the Lewis
I House, and say that the enemy were re?
ceiving: heavy reinforcements, that the
j troops-on 'the' plateau were very '-much
scattered, and that.he would be compell?
ed to retire to tbe Lewis House and there
j reform?hoping that the troops ordered
j up from the right wonld arrive in time
I to enable him'toT establish and hold the
new line. - "
\ Meanwhile, the..uuknown r troops were.
preSsihg*oh. The 'day r-was^ sultry, and
only at long intervals were the're the
Slighest breeze. The colors of the mys
I terious column bung drooping on the
staff. Geueral Beauregard tried again
aud again to .decide what colors tbey
I carried. He "used bis glass repeated?
ly, and handing it to others begged them
! to look, hoping that their eyes might be
[ keener than his.
I General Beauregard was in a state of
j great anxiety, but finally determined to
I bold his ground, telying on the promised
I help from the right, knowing that if it
I arrived in time victory might be secured,
I but feeling also that if tbe rnysteriou*
I column should be Federal troops the day
[ was lost:.
I Suddenly a puff of wind spread the
I colors to the breeze. It was tbe Confed

j Early with tbe Twenty-fouth Virginia,

I was recognized Beauregard turned to bis
I staff right and- reft, saying, ' See thai
I the xlay is^oiirs V and 'ordered* an im

I Early's brigade deployed into Hue and

I not an enemy was to be seen - South ol
Boll Ron. \ ????"*
j While tm this field and snfferiog Urn
j terrible anxiety, General Beauregard de
I termiued that the Confederate soldier
must have a flag so distinct from that, of
I the enemy that no doubt should ever
I again endanger his cause ou the field of
battle. !
: Soon after the battle he; entered into
correspondence - with Colonel William
Porcher Miles,, who had- served on'-his
I staff during this day, with a view to secur
I iog his aid in the matter, and'proposing a
blue "field, red bars, crossed, and gold
Utara,
I They discussed the matter at length,
j Colonel Miles thought it was contrary
J to-tWl?w~of heraldry thatthe ground
I should be blue, the bars red,.and the stars
gold. Me - proposed that the ground
should' be red, the bars blue,and the stars'
white.
I General Beauregard approved tbe
I change, and discussed the. matter freoly
with General Johnston. Meanwhile it
became known that tbe design for a flag
was under discussion, and many designs
were'sent in. One came from Mississip?
pi ; one from J. B. Wal'.on and E. C.
Hancock, which coincided with the de?
sign of Colonel Miles. The matter was
I freely discussed at headquarters, till fi?
nally, when be arrived at Fairfax Court
House,. .Geueral Beauregard caused h is
draughtsman (a German) to make draw?
ings of all the various designs which had
I been submitted. With these designs
before them the officers at headquarters
agreed on the famous old banner?
the red field, the bluo cross, and the
white stars. The flag was then submit*
ted to the War Departmeut, and was ap
proved.
The first flags sent to tbe army wee
presented to the troops by General Beau?
regard in person, be then expressing tbe
I hope and confidence that it would become
I the emblem of honor and vic o y.
; The first three, flags, received were
made from "Ladies' dresses" by the
Misses Carey, of Baltimore and Alexan?
dria; at their residences and the resi?
dences of friends, as soon .as they could
get a description of the design adopted.
One of the Misses Carey sent tbe flag
she made to General Beauregard. Her
sister sent hers to General Van Dorn,
who was then at Fairfax Court House.
Miss Constance Carey, of Alexandria, j
sent hen to-General Joseph E. John?
ston.
I General Beauregard sent the flag bo
I received at once to New Orleans for safo
I keeping. After the fall of New Orleans
Mrs. Beauregard sent the flag by aSpan
I ish man of war, then lying in the river
I opposite New Orleans, to Cuba, where it
remained till tbe close of the war, wbeti
it was returned to General Beauregard,
who presented it for safe keeping to the
Washington Artillery, of New Orleans.

SINCE the introduction of this Spool Cot?

cess has been unprecedented. No other brand
of thread lias ever met with the same amount
of public favor in the same space of time.
The 0. N. T." manufacturers were the
first to recognize the importance of the Sew?
ing Machine and to make a six-cord cotton,
which has ever since bceu the recognized
standard lor machines.
All the improvements in machinery that
the inventive genius of the nineteenth cen?
tury has produced have been adapted by
the manufacturer of " 0. N. T."
At all the great International Fairs of the
world, O. N. T." has been awarded the
highest honors.
The " 0. N. T." factories at Newark, N.
