«'Ar*ii of unr EXPronKW*. 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.

TUB ROWAN NENTINK*.. There was nothing in Pompeii that iuvested it with a deeper interest to me than the spot where a soldier of old Rome displayed a most heroic fidelity. That fatal day on which Vesuvius at whose feet the city stood, burst out inro an eruption which shook the earth, poured torrents of lava from its riven sides, and discharged, amidst the noise of a hundred thunders, such clouds of ashes as filled the air, pro duced a darkness deeper than midnight and struck such terror into all hearts that men thought not only that th end of the must die, DUBIOUS.

One Glass of Wine.—The Duke of Orleans, the oldest son of King Louis Philippe, was the Inheritor of what ever rights the royal family could tiansmit. He was a noble young man. physieully and intellectually noble. One morning he invited few com panions with him, as he was about to take bis departure from Paris, to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour he drank too much wine. He did not become intoxicated; he was not in any respect a disipated man. His character was lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour he drank a glass too much. He lost the balance of his body and his mind. Bidding adieu to bis companions, he entered the car riage. But for that extra glass he would have kept his seat. lie leaped from the carriage. But for that extra glass of wine he would have alighted on his fett. His head struck the pave ment.

In this connection, the fol 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 anges, or any other of the numerous fruits above referred to, for all which lie finds an outlet in the various mar kets of the world. Seeing these things and seeing further, that its whole up land country presents one of the most magnificent climates of the world, can it be doubted that the day is at hand when emigration to the South aud Southwest must take the place now occupied by emigration to the West, and when power is to pass from the poor soils of the Northeast to those richer oi.es which now offer themselves in such vast abundance in the centre— the South and the South-west?

It should be remembered, too, and one of common salt. These will toiler | cause the wash to harden, and prevent its cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable a beautiful cream color may be com municated to the above wash by add ing three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good pear! or lead color, by the ad dition of lamp, vine or ivory black. 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- in ahead ; and the fust ting dey know’d dey was in de pen and de gap up, and dare dey dey stand till we knock dem Cm de head.” 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 lished in the face of a general rise in the chief articles of food. “Legislators in the United States, who have interposed to save some of our choice varieties offish from exter mination, will find in such statements as these encouragment to preserve in their efforts.” 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.” Spontaneous Combustion.—A great deal of breath and printers’ ink has been expended in the effort to prove!
