 subjects than on any others. The feeling is general 

 that n grope earlier, and if possible hardier than 

 the Itabslla is needed, and at least of as good quali- 

 iv. Hellers of vim's, like the publishers, aro over- 

 pruiMiig their wares, and there is danger that 

 many will be induced to plant sorts far inferior to 

 our old well-tried kinds. Of course the ffand- 

 Ifook will give valuable information on this point 

 We open at page 89, and there we find the com- 

 mencement of the chapter on grapes, which consists 

 of only three pages, and that an old and unsatisfac- 

 tory article from 1 "nn/> <-'■■■ SI mn-h.rri/ Book, pub- 

 lished in 1854, in which only the Otttauba, GHnton, 

 Otana and Itabella are mentioned, even by name. 

 Not a word of the newer sorts, or an iota of kuowl- 

 ege added since ls.vi. What u valuable document 

 for the unMous inquirer after knowledge!

 learn from some other source. All that is said of

 particle is incessantly changing its place, this new 

 i-.n'iMif iiuition is also ince— unlly changing its 

 place, causing, as before shown, the rotation of the 

 machine around the stand, (see tig. 1, in second 

 article,) with a velocity of, say 4 feet per second. 



Now, wc will increase the velocity of the wheel, 

 say four times, or to 64j< feet per second. The 

 particle C, will no longer be at rest, but will be

 wheel around its oxis, the nearer will this 

 center of motion be brought in proximity to I ; and 

 the rotation of the machine around the stand, will 

 no longer be 4 feet persecond, but less than 4; and, 

 indeed, if the velocity of the wheel, could be 

 creased to infinity, i.e., so that 16 1-1 '2 ft. persecond 

 would be as nothing to the velocity given, (which 

 might prove to be a dangerous experiment, ai 

 as a difficult one,) the machine would not rot 

 oil around the stand, but while revolving

SPEED OF RAILROAD CARS. 



i\- of the accidents which happen to persons 

 altcmping to cross railroads are the results of 

 gnorance of the velocity of the iron horse When 

 fairly underway. A writer in the Haitlm-l i'»ir 

 ant gives some interesting facts which it may be 

 well to bear in mind: 



"It seems almost incredible that, ns we glide 

 smoothly along, the eleganlly furnished car moves 

 nearly twice its length in asecond of time — about 

 74 feet. At this velocity wc find that the locomo- 

 tive driving wheels, six feet iu diameter, make 

 four revolutions per second. It is uo idle piston- 

 rod that traverses the cylinder eight times per 

 second. 



If a man with a horse nnd carriage should ap- 

 proueh and cross the track at a speed of six miles 

 per hour, which would be crossing rapidly. 





the 



,„,M 



Ired and fifty-seven feet while he 

 was in the act of crossing a distance barely suffi- 

 cient to clear the horse and vehicle. If the bone 

 was moviog no faster thau a walk, as the track is 

 usually crossed, the train would move towards 

 him, while in the act of crossing, more than five 

 hundred feet. This fact accounts for the many 

 accidents at such points. The- perr-on drHdRj 

 1 1, ink-, he may cross because the train is a few rods 



How compares the highest speed with the velo- 

 city of sound? When the whistle is opened at the 

 eighty rod whistle post, the train will ndvance 

 nearly one hundred feet before the sound troi 

 the distance to, and is heard at, the erossin 

 The velocity exceeds the llight of birds. The late 

 Dr. J. L. Comstock. the well-kuuwu author of 

 t-ral philosophical works, informed the writer 

 he was recently passing through Western ] 

 York when the train actually ran down and killed 

 B common bawk, The train was stopped, and the 

 game so rarely- captured was secured." 



■Dr. eox is reported 

 have said, in a College address; — " I am glad that 

 Li nir.a had a good digestion as well us a great 

 son), for the reformation would have beco dclu> cl 

 bad he been a dyspeptic." The Reverend Doctor 

 has been a martyr himself to throat-all, arising
