The Boston Journal of Chemistry,
in an article on the chemistry of kero
sene, speaks as-follows. As an ex
planation of the causes of lamp ex
plosions, it is worth studying, that
these accidents may be avoided
As has been stated kerosene is not
explosive. A lighted taper may be
thrust into it, or flame applied in any
way, and it does not explode. On the
contrary it extinguishes flame, if ex
perimented with at the usual temper
atures of our rooms. Kerosene acci
dents occur from two causes : First,
imperfect manufacture of the article;
second, adulterations. An imperfect
ly manufactured oil is that which re
sults when the distillation has been
carried on at a too low temperature,
and a portion of the naptha remains
in it. Adulterations are largely made
by unprincipled dealers, who add 20
to 30 per cent, of naptha after it leaves
the manufacturer’s hands. The light
napthas which have been spoken of, as
known in commerce under the names
of benzine, benzoline, gasoline, etc.,
are very volatile, inflammable, and
dangerous. They, however, in them
selves, are not explosive; neither are
they capable of furnishing any gas,
when placed in lamps, which is explo
sive. Accidents of this nature are
due entirely to the facility with which
vapor is produced from them at low
temperatures. But the vapor by itself
is not explosive; to render it so, it
must be mixed with air. A lamp may
lie tilled with bad kerosene, or with
the vapor even, and in no possible way
can it detonate, or explode, unless at
mospheric air lias somewhat got mix
ed with vapor. A lamp, therefore,
full, or nearly full, of the liquid, is
safe; and also one full of pure warm
vapor is safe. Explosions generally
occur when the lamp is tirst lighted,
without being filled, and late in the
evening when the fluid is nearly ex
hausted. The reason of this will
readily he seen. In using imperfect
or adulterated kerosene, the space
above the line of oil is always tilled
with vapor; and so long as it is warm,
and rising freely, no air can reach it.
and it is safe. At bed-time when the
family retire, the light is extinguished ;
the lamp cools; a portion of the va
por is condensed ; this creates a par
tial vacuum in the space, which is
instantly filled with air. The mixture
is new more or less explosive; and
when, upon the ne*xt evening, the
lamp is 1 in ted without replenishing
with oil. as is often done an explo
sion iti liable to take place. Late in
the evening, when the oil is nearly
consumed, and the space above filled
with vapor, the lamp cannot explode
so long as it remains at rest on
table. But take it in liand ; agitate it,
carry it into a cool room, the vapor is
cooled, air passes in, and vapor be
comes explosive. A case of lamp ex
plosion came to the writer’s knowl
edge a few years since, which was
occasioned by taking a lamp from the
table to answer a ling of the door-bell.
The cool outside air which impinged
upon the lamp in the hands of the
lady, rapidly condensed the vapor, air I
passed in, explosion occurred, which j
resulted fatally. If the lamp had been S
full of fluid, this accident could not:
have occurred. Before carrying it to
the door, flame might have been thrust
into the lamp with safety ; the vapor j
would have ignited but no explosion
would have taken place.

lowing extract from a recent letter of
Mr. Henry C. Carey, is forcible :
“ At the South, nature lias provided
for the removal of all existing difficul
ties, having placed the farmer in such
a position that not only is he near
er to the great markets for his products
in their original forms, but that he
may convert his wheat and his sweet
potatoes into cotton, into pork, or

fruits above referred to, for all which

kets of the world. Seeing these things
and seeing further, that its whole up

magnificent climates of the world, can
it be doubted that the day is at hand

and one of common salt. These will

appearance to the work. If desirable
a beautiful cream color may be com

For fawn color add four pouuds urn-
ber—Turkish or American, the latter
is the cheapest—one pound Indian
red, and one pound common lamp
black. For common stone color add
four pounds raw umber and two
pounds lampblack. This wash may
be applied with a common whitewash
brush, arid will be found much supe
rior, both in appearance and durability
to common whitewash.
An Aft Illustration.—We heard
a very worthy old freedman who is be
ginning to understand the working of
the League, give his opiuion of it the
otherday as follows:
“I tell you de League and de kar-
kies, jest remind me of when old
mass r and me used to put up the fat
tening hogs. I’d take some corn and
scatter it along, and soon as the hogs
ud taste it, dey’d follow right along,
picking up de grains, and neber look-

Short Rules in Rural Economy.—
1. Paint all toolsexposed to the weath
er, and if with light colored paint,
they will not heat, warp or crack the
least in the sun.
2. Dip well seasoned shingles in lime
wash, and they will last much longer
and not become covered with moss.
3. In hitching a horse to a common
rail or worm fence, always select an
iuside corner, which will be more se
cure by its bracing position, and the
halter will not become entangled
among the projecting ends of the cor
ner.
4. Always tie a halter by making
first a single loop and thrusting the
end of the halter through this loop.
This is quickly united, and will never
become untied of itself.
Curing Hens of Setting.—A
writer in the New England Farmer
says that he cured his hens of setting by
shutting them in a tub having an inch
or two of water on the bottom. He
keeps them there during the day and
puts them on the roost at night. If not
cured the first day he treats them to
the “water cure” another day, when
they will be glad to stand on their
feet.
that this decline in price, if not very
considerable in itself, lias been estab

the chief articles of food.

Fall Ploughing Clay Lands.—
Our farmers are learning one very im
portant thing in farming our day
lands—that is, fail ploughing, if done
at the right time and well done. Al
though it does not accord with the
views of our examplers, yet experience
has taught us its great benefit. No ma
chinery yet invented can fine our clay
laud like the frost of winter. I can
convince any one if they will only look
on a piece of barley here, part fall
ploughed and part ploughed this
spring. But the benefit to the crop is
not all. We can plough for one-half
the cost in the fall. Our teams are in
good condition, and ready, with a
small expense for feed. I close, and
may say more on thesubject of plough
ing some other time, as that is a very
important part of farming.
ETERNITY NEVER ENDS.
Dr. Samuel Johnson was much at
tached to a young man—an intelligent
Italian. As the Doctor lay upon the
couch from which he never rose up,
he called his young friend to him and
tenderly and solemnly said: “There is
no one who has shown me more atten
tion than you have done; and it is now
right you should claim some attention
from me. You are a young man, and
are to struggle through life; you are in
a profession that I dare say you will
exercise with great fidelity and inno
cence; but let me exhort you always
to think of my situation which must
one day be yours—always remember
that life is short, and that eternity
never ends.”

The foreign periodicals above enumerated are
regularly repubiisbed by us in the same style and
with the same promptness as heretofore. Those
who know iheai and who have long subscribed to
them, need no reminder from us ; those whom the
civil rt ar of the last few years has deprived of their
once welcome supply of the best periodical litera
ture, will be glad to have our publications again
brought within their reach ; and those who, resid
ing lar inland, remote trom the centres of com
merce and literature, may never yet have met
with them, will assuredly be well pleased to have
the means pointed out of bringing accredited re
ports of tha progress of European science and lit
erature to their homesteads in the Western prai
ries or the Southern plantations. The Four Re
views and Blackwood, comprising the series above
described, are Republished at the following rates,
viz :
For any one of the Reviews $4 0(1 per annum.
For any two of the Reviews....? (JO “
For any three of the Reviews 10 00 “
Forall four of the Reviews 12 00 “
For Blackwood’s Magazine .... 4 00 “
For Blackwood and one Review 7 00 “
For Blackwood and any two of
the Reviews 10 00 u
For Blackwood and three of
the Beviews 13 00 “
For f’lackwood and the four
Reviews 15 00 “
Considering that the cost of printing has more
than doubled since 1"6I, these prices are extreme
ly low. The. original English Editions would
cost in U. 8. Currency more than treble these rates
