POPULAR MISCELLANY. 



Proposed Scientific Expedition around 

 tlic World. For some months Mr. James 

 0. Woodruff", of Indianapolis, has been busi- 

 ly engaged in organizing a " scientific ex- 

 pedition around the world," the object of 

 which is to visit points of general and spe- 

 cial interest, to study architecture, archcEol- 

 ogy, geology, and the fauna and flora of 

 new or little known localities, and to make 

 collections and studies in natural history 

 generally. 



It is proposed to start from New York 

 some time next fall, in a steamship of a 

 thousand tons, officered by experienced men 

 from our navy, and fitted with all the ap- 

 pliances necessary for such an expedition. 

 Ten scientific professors, selected from the 

 faculties of our leadiug universities, are to 

 go along in the capacity of teachers, giving 

 lectures and instruction in the various sub- 

 jects of study. 



The island of Marajo, at the mouth of 

 the Amazon, Valparaiso, some of the less 

 known islands of the Central Pacific, New 

 Guinea, Borneo, Ceylon, and Alexandria, 

 are a few of the more prominent points it 

 is proposed to visit; the ship returning by 

 the way of France and England. Inland 

 excursions, for the purposes of exploration 

 and the collection of .specimens, will be a 

 feature of the expedition. Eighty students 

 can be accommodated. The trip is expected 

 to consume two years, and will cost each 

 student, according to published estimates, 

 about $5,000. 



Fruit-Farming in England. The home- 

 supply of fruit in England being very in- 

 adequate to the demand, foreign fruit has to 

 be imported in enormous quantity. Hence 

 the price of fruit is very high, and the great
