ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Koran .—Mobiunod wivh born about the year 
570. His first teachings were against Arabic 
idolatry and wluit ho believed to bo errors in the 
Christian religion. It does not appear that ho 
had any idea at first of founding a now one, but 
liko Luther, at a later day, desired only the puri¬ 
fication of oxisting ones. 
Engineer.—The total length of the bridge be¬ 
tween Brooklyn and Now York, including the ap¬ 
proaches, is to be 5,908 feet, and the width Ke 
feet. The distance between the towers is 1.595 
feet. 
Rubber Paint .—Intending to build a house m 
the spring, I am considering whether to use the 
above paint or not. The manufacturers claim 
many good qualities for it, but 1 wish to know if 
it is so much better than white lead and oil as to 
justify me in paying the difference in coat.—Can - 
ton. Asm—N ever having hail occasiou to use 
“ Rubber Taint," wo cannot speak from personal 
experience in regard to its durable i|Ualitiea or 
cheapness; but some of our correspondents, who 
have tried it, extol it highly. 
O. li. C ,—\Vo cannot tell why your pippin 
apples fait off before maturity, but suspect that 
either the codling moth or applo ouvcuuo is at 
work among them. Kxamioe the treo and fruit 
closely, when the apples appear this spring, and 
see if you do not find some ltiud of insect at 
work. 
II. A. B .—The earth was first circumnavigated 
by the ship Han Vittoria, which sailed from Spain 
in August, 1519, under command of Magellan, 
who discovered and passed through the Straits 
still bearing his name. Ho was killed at the 
Ladroue Islands, and the command of the ship 
devolved upon ono of his lieutenants, d Lloauo, 
who continued to sail west, doubled the Cape of 
Good Hope, and arrived in Spain in Sept., 1522. 
Law Book for Farmer*.—‘Will you inform me, 
through the RuiUi., whether there is any Law 
book published in ono volume, that contains 
forms of deeds, contracts, and Other legal infor¬ 
mation that would be useful for a farmer ? If 
there is, please state price and where I can ob¬ 
tain it.—8. 8. T. Ass.—Wo submitted your 
question to a legal friend, and ho replied that 
Wells' “Every Man His Own Lawyer," was the 
very host book of the kind in the market, but 
that it bad oansed more lawsuits than any other 
law book over published.
