THE
SCIENTIFIC BEARI56 QY
(HEAT WESTER FIRES.
THE
Now that tho tlismnv occasioned bv
the buroinr of. Cbicazo, and by tbe
great forest fires in Michigan, Wiscon
sin, ana Minnesota, is to some extent
passing away, fanciful scientific theor
ies in regard to those conflacrrationa ar
propotrnded by various newspapersjantl
tbeir correspondents in surprising num
bers. Stories of electric flames shoot-
ng through the air. "of meteor-iiKe
balls, and "various other mysterious
agencies, have been published and ser-
ousiy commented upon: while the au
thor of a letter to a prominent jonrnal
n ibis city has tho assurance to declare
it quite certain that "there is an influ
ence in the air, in all great conflagra-
ions, which has yet to be explained
and, if possible, guarded against." "We
magine that mosLor the sunerers In
tho West, if the v bad been-guarded
gainst the effects of the fire, would
have been perfectly willing to let the
ntinence referred to do its worst.
These- stories and theories are for the
most part duo to excited imaginations
intensely affected by stiring events, al
though in some few instances they may
have a move discreditable origin. The
simultaneous and concurrent action of
tbe numerous causes necessary to pro-
dace the conflagrations is in itself very
remarkable, even to us who are far
away from the scene. How much more
wonderful, therefore, must It seem to
those who witnessed its awful displays.
That in many cases both their accuracy
or perception and correctness ot ucig
ment should bo vastly influenced by the
amazement and terror which they ex
perienced was only natural.
While every hypothesis, then, wnicn
seeks to account for tho outbreak and
extent of so many forest fires by means
of any supernatural or -darkly myster
ious agency must at once te rejected, U
is apparent that the phenomena connec
ted with them are of great scientific in
terest. Their importance, indeed, is
ruucb greater than might at first be sup
posed. Excessive dryness in earth and air,
and a tornado-like wind, have been the
conditions present and precedent In the
case of every otio of Ibeso great fires.
"What causes nro productive of those
conditions, and how can their action be
reduced to a minimum T-r
The removal of timber in large quan
tities is generally thought to increase
the mean aunual temperature of a coun
try, while it decreases tho humidity of
the climate. Consequently, the exten
sivo destruction of forests is regarded
as Uuadvisable and injurious by a large
proportion of scientific meteorologists,
although a qualified dissent from this'
view has recently Deen expressed In
Germany.' Tho reduced volume of the
river Euphrates, and the lessened fer
tility of its valley, are attributed to tho
ubscuca of tho iorests which once grew
in that region. Tho drying upoi the
Scamaiider, which ranby the walls of
ancient Troy, is due to a similar cause;
and the present comparative aridity oi
portions of n ance and 5-.pa.ln ts ex-
plained in the samo way
jLUL,Aiaut viaw
well-known ncottisn meteorologist,
mentions a valley in Venezuela so shut
lu by mountains that the rivers which
water it have no outlet to the ocean, but
flow into its centre, where they form a
lake. During the last thirty years of
the eighteenth century, this lake, with
out any assignable cause, gradually
dried up. .On the breaking out of the
war of independence, however, the val
Icy in which it lay became the scene of
deadly warfare, and so continued tor
twentv-two years. The lake rose from
year to year, until at the end of the war
much land formerly cultivated was un
der water. The explanation was siin
pie. Forests in a tropical climate grow
with astonishing rapidity; and the
wholo district which before was in
great part dostitnto of trees, being tin
tccupiod by inhabitants during the
war, had becomo a vast woodland.
It is plain, however, tbat tho dryness
fa country, where no trees existed in
the past cannot be accounted for in this
maimer. There is no evidenco that tho
great prairies ol the w est were ever
wood la. ul. At the same tune, tno area
of small, rainfall and -severe drought
which, according to the observations of
the Signal Service, occur turotignotu
largo districts of the West and North
west in the tail, are properly to do nt-
tribntedto the treeless condition of the
plains as the principal cause, and not
mainly, as has been suggested by some
onrnals, to tno gradual encroaenmcnts
or our timber supply upon tho forests
of tho Xorihwcst.
One of the greatest evils conueetcd
with the lircs is their enormous con
sumption of this tree vegetation. The
extent, of woodland, which ought to
nave been increased ratner tnan oiner
wise, is thus greatly diminished, aud
the effect upon the climate is precisely
as if -the quantity of lanrfburncd over

In some instances tho proximity of the

lence. W c believe It has been noticed
in several of the Western States that
the tornadoes occurring within their
borders have increased in freoueucv
anal severity in proportion a the forests

witnessed. To remedy this, land-holder
iu every prairie State should be re

must say that I am a most excellent
man. Indeed, I commenced being good
at a very early age, and built myself op
on tbe best models. I was yet an in
fant when I read the affecting story of
tbe backing down or tno cherry tree by
ucorge Washington, ana his manly
statement to bis father that bo could
not tell a lie. 1 read tho story, and it
tilled me with a desire to surpass him
I was not goiug to allow any such boy
as George Washington, if he did after
ward get to be rresiacnt, to excel i me
in the moralities. Immediately I seized
a hatchet, and cut down the most valu
able cherry tree my father had and.
more, l dng op tbe roots and burned
tbe branches, so that by no means conld
tho variety be preserved and I went a
skating one Sunday, that I might con.
fess the two faults, and bo wept over
and forgiven on account of my extreme
truthfulness, lbe experiments were, l
regret to say, partial failures. I was
very much like George Washington
but tbe trouble was, my lamer didn't
resemble George Washington's father
to any alarming extent, which was es
sential to the success of my 6cheme

But be didn't shed. lie remarked that

weakness. They read the same story
bnt. alas I I bad no horticultural tastes,
and therefore, no garden, and as a mat
ter of course, no cherry trees about my

hankered for a cherry tree. "Where is

that be might back it down, and man

MRS. STOWE ON FREE LOVE.
In her "Pink and Whito Tyranny,"
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe gives this
calm and logical refutation of the "so
called reformers:"
Well, then, It has been very surprising
to us to sco in these our times, that
some people, who really have at heart
the interest of women, have been so
short-sighted and reckless as to clamor
for an easy dissolution ot tno marriage
contract, as a means of righting tbeir
wrongs. Is it possible that they do not
sco tbat tin 8 is a liberty which, once
granted, wonld always tell against the
weaker sex? If tbe woman who finds
she has made a mistake, and married an
unkind or uncongenial man, may, on
the discovery of it, leave bim, and seek
her fortune with another, so also may
a man. And what will become of wo
men like I.illie, when the first guilding
begins to wear off, if tbo men who
have taken them shall be at liberty to
cast them off and seek others Have
we not cuouzh now of miserable, bro
ken-winged butterflies, thai sink down,

arc woman reformers going to clamor
for bavins every woman turned out
helpless when tbe man who has married
her and niauo ner a mower, discovers
that sho has not the power to interest
him aud help bis higher spiritual de
velopment? It was because woman is
helpless and weak, and because Christ
was ber Protector, that he made tho
law of marriage irrevocable "Whoso

CROSSING WHEAT.
Having for a number of years past
been experimenting in crossing differ
ent varieties of wheat, with a view to
raising some more vigorous and hardy
varieties, suited to various soi's and
climates, I will make a few remarks on
this Important subiect.
First, then, as all parties admit, old
varieties of wheat "run out," degener
ate and become unprofitable therefore,
new varieties are absolutely necessary
Bv prematurely cutting ont the anthers
of one variety that possesses some de-
sirablo quality, but is deficient in some
other, and then applying to Its pistil
the pollen or some other variety tbat la
superior in the qualities in which it is
defective. Kvery kernel this operated
on will, tbe following year, differ in
some respects from either of its parents,
while others mav show all tbe good
qualities of both, witb greatly increased
vigor and productiveness. The change
produced lit Its winter-resisting quail
ties is so remarkable that it will have
to be seen to be believed. I have
small plot of ground within a few feet
of where I now write, with perhaps a
hundred varieties upon it all produced
by crossing two old varieties all sown
tho same day, in parts or rows six
inches apart, in the same soil, witb tbe
same cultivation and exposure every
way; yet some kinds wero killed out
almost to a plant, while other varieties
in the same and adjoining rows, re
mained nninjured giving, in my opin
Ion, proof positive of one great benefit
at least to be derived from this process
of crossing. I have frequently ex
pressed tho opinion that, with perse
verance, all the good qualities of all
kinds of wheat in existence can be com
bined in one variety by judicious cross
ing. That any one such variety will ev
er be raised to succeed equally well in
all parts of this vast continent, I do not
believe, and I have frequently thought,
when rejecting some unpromising va
rieties that are bearing grain for tbe
first time, tbat iu all probability there
is some portion of this country, either
the extreme north or south, where these
vcrv rejected varieties would succeed
beElrtban any other. The only an
noting feature that I have met with in
crossing wheat is its tendency to sport
after it is crossed, which gives it the
appearance of several kiuds of wheat
mixed, jdany varieties have been re
jected on this account.- Country Gen
tleman.

able to one Mrs. Lcary, a dairywoman.
living on De Koven 6treet, between
Canal and Jefferson streets.
According to Mistress Rumor, tbe
cow-woman was later than usual about
her milking, and to "lighten" the job
she took a keroscue lamp to the stable.
Whilo al her work, tho beast she was
draining, up with her right bind leg
and bit tbe lamp a kick, splashing tbe
btuning fluid against the wall., in an
instant the whole .stable was in flames,
and the woman bad time only to escape
with her life, leaving the klne to roast.
Another sliarhtlv varied version is that
ene milked at tne usual nonr, out in uie
evening took ber lamp and went out to
see ir all was rignt, ana lancytug tuat
the cows wanted salting, sho put tho
lamp down by the door and went back
for her salt dish. Beforo she returned

tbe barn was all ablaze.
The storv told that night, and before
anv one bad tbe least idea that a great
conflagration was in store, was caugni
np by the electric wires tne next, morn
ing, and flashed wherever telegraphy
extends. Even if it were an absurd ru
mor, forty miles wide of the truth, it
would be useless to attempt to alter
"tbe verdict of history." Mrs. Leary
baa made a sworu statement iu refuta
tion of the charge, and it is backed by
other affidavits but to little purpose.
She Is in for it, and no mistake. Fame
has seized ber, and appropriated her
name. barn. cows, aud ail. Biic nas
won, in spite of herself, what the Ephe
sian vouth panted after.
Now that our reporters have a little
leisure for matters of recondary impor
tance for thinsrs more curious than es
anntial we sent one of them to the
spot where tbe fire originated, for what
ever e'euda may shroud the cause of the
fire, the place where n oegan is quite
beyond dispute. He had the good for
tune to find the woman herself, and here
is his report of his Interview.
In the centre Ol-ine oiock bibdub b
small one story tenement. On every
aide are ashes and cinders. Not a house
or shed remains west, south, or north of
it, and a half a dozen ash piles tell tbe
passer-by where stood houses on the
east or the solitary shanty (for it is that
and nothing more.) It is past explana
tion that all the rest went and that re
mained. Especially mysterious is it,
from the fact that the barn in which the
fire originated was hardly more than a
rod off. As the wind was blowing fu
riously from the south-west, one wonld
suppose tbe southwest corner of the
block could easily have been saved.
But there is no end to the freaks of a
conflagration.
We saw a stout Irish woman, some
thirtv-fivo years of age, standing at the
rear "door of this solitary house, with a
babe in her arms, talking with one of
her own countrymen, witnous an
nouncing our errand, we fell into con
versation upon tho subject that every
body i talking and thinking abont,
gradually leading her on to the specific
point In purpose. Pne was notuiug
loth to tell her tale. The dialogue ran
substantially as follows
Keporter "Are you tne iauy oi tuu
house?" Mrs. Leary "I am, sir." 11
"Have you lived here long?" Mrs. L.
"Going on five years." It. -"Do you
own this place?" Mrs. L. "I do."
It. "Did tho firo start in your barn c
Mrs. L. "It did." It. "What was in
it?" Mrs. L. "Five cows, a horse,
and about two tons of hay in the loft."
It. "Is your husband an expressman?"
"...an m trf. ti
Mrs. L. "indado ne is not. we an
knocked our living out of those five
blessed cows, and I never had a cint
from the parish In all my life, and tne
dirtv Times had no business to say it,
bad cess to it." It. "How about that
kerosene lamp story?" Mrs. t. "There
is not a word of truth in the whole sto
ry. I always milked my cows by day
light, and never had a lamp tf any kind
or a candle about the barn. It must
have been set afire. Two neighbors at
tbe end of tbe alley saw a strange man
come np tbe alley abont half past 9 in
the evening. lie asked tneni was ine
alloy straight through. They told him
it was, and he went through. It wasn't
five minutes till they saw. tno barn on
fire. Before we had time to get the
horse or any of tbe cows out it was all
one, and tbe fire was running in every
irection. Tbe boy turned to and saved
the bouse. I hope to die if this isn't
every word of it true. If you was a
priest I wouldn't tell it any different."
All further questioning was useless.
This woman had nothing more or differ
ent to say npon the subject. Finding.
that no more was to be garnered irom
her, and feeling sorry for the poor wo
man's loss, our reporter 6omewnat
tamely and tritely remarked, "It was
pretty rough on you.any way." "Bough r
she exclaimed, -wuy, my uoa, man, it

You ask the why; tears All my eyes.
As low to you I say
I had two brother once,
Warm-hearted, bold and say -They

The other followed Sherman's march
Triumphant to tbe a.

you meet Miss Nellie (if you have never

prepared for an agreeable surprise.
You have read of the grand receptions

she is engaged to a gentleman in Cov

ALICE CART'S LOTE.
A story under the title of the "Un
known Love of Alice Cary," in the
newspapers is still traveling through
tbe length of the land. It asserts that
in her youth she was affianced to Itnfus
W. Gnswold that he was false to her
forsaking her for a woman of the
world that long after, when he returned
to .New York friendless, poor and sick.
sho forgave him (he great wrong tbat
hi bad done, and nursed bim till he
diedV.. This story, in many conflicting
pnases, .was onen, to iter great annoy,
auco told of her during her life
The fact that ltufus W. Griswold did ,'n
ms last will, bequeath to ner his perso
nal ctlects, was made much of in print
ed aud private circle?, and used as an
unanswerable proof that at one time he
nad been ber lover, w ltnm a week 1
have read, in a letter to the New York
Evening J'ont, that the will proved the
lovo.anu relationship between the two
persons beyond a doubt. Yet no less,
m its foundation, the story la false.
Referring to it once, while we two sat
aiono together, Alice said to me: "I
ten you just the truth, ir you ever
think it necessary, yon can tell it." 3

cred life, with which idle gossip is yet
too busy, to tell it now. Uereavcment
in death and in life bad made her Wes
tern borne too desolate to be borne,
These with the impulse of the brave
will that served her to tbe last, brousrht
nertoew xork to make not the life
that she would have chosen for herself,
yet a uie wormy to be lived. Iguo
ranee stood me in tbe stead of cour
age," she taid. "Had I known the
great world as I have learned it since, I
should not have dared but I didn't
Thus I came." The leading literateitr
at that time was Dr. liuftis Griswold
He had compiled the books called "Tbe
t cmale Prose mors" and "Tbe Fe
maie x'oets or America." lie was
sharply on the look out for every new
genius in literature that appeared. He
had visited the sisters in their Ohio
home, and in 1S50 obtained a publisher
lor tbeir lirst volume, and had added
both their names, with selections from
their poems, to his own "Poets of
America." He knew everything nec
essary to their success in the sphere of
iaoor wnicn tney practically knew next
to nothing. He encouraged and helped
them in many ways, and thus command
ed their gratitude. For Alico to incur
a debt of gratitude was to' pay it, even
at the cost of her life. Yet even the
good will of one type of man to a wo
man is often a mistortnne. Her soul
may be white as snow yet ho cannot
take bor innocent name upon bis L'ns
without smirching it with somewhat of
nis own viieness. llis vanity has been
flattered by idle women, till eonauest
has become not only the habit, but tho
necessity, of his morbid and miserable
soul till, where he knows he has not
won it, he yet is base enough to boast
of it. Such a man (judging by every
record eft of him) was Rufus W. Gris
wold. He was a man of poetic temper
ament, of fine scolarship, of generous
Impulses, and in certain directions of
rare gins yet no less he was a man of
fickle fancies, of violent temper, which
often fell npon his dearest friends; of
monstrous vanity and of nngoverned
passions. "I was never engaged to him

Alice Cary to me. "I could not have
loved such a man, though 1 learned bim

PROPHETIC.
The Peoria Transcript thus reminds
us of a despised prophecy published in
the Journal two days before tho great
conflagration
Wouldn't beScabed. Tho follow-
paragraph appeared a day or two be
fore the great fire, in tho Chicago Jour
nal. In connection with the events
which have since taken place, it is qnite
significant. Tbe letter alluded to is nn.
doubtcdly burned up
"A world-destroying prophet in Wis

that tho earth is drying up, preparatory
to being burnt up. We won't throw
this happy world into a panic by

On the appalling night of the great

that the world was indeed "burning

IIocsejiolji Uses of Ammonia. Am
monia, or, as it is generally called, spir
its of hartshorn, is a powerful alkali,
and dissolves dirt and grease with ease.
It has lately been recommended very
highly for many domestic purposes.
For washing paint, put a tablespoonful
in a quart of moderately hot water, din
in a flannel cloth, and witb this 6imply
wasn on tuc woodwork; no scrubbing
will be necessary. For taking grease
spots from any fabric, use the ammonia
nearly pure, then lay white blotting
paper over the spot, and iron it lightly.
in washing laces, put about twelve
drops in a pint of warm suds. To clean
silver, mix two teaspoonfuls of am
monia in a quart of hot soapsuds. Put
in your silverware and wash it, using
an old nail-brush or tootH-brush for the
purpose. For cleaning hair-brushes,
etc., simply shake the brush up and
down in a mixture of one tcaspoonfnl
of ammonia to one pint of hot water;
when they are elensed, rinse them in
in cold water, and stand tbem iu the
wind or in a hot place to dry. For
washing finger marks from looking
glasses or windows, put a few drops of
ammonia on a moist rag, and make
quick work of it. If you wish your
house-plants to flourish, put a few drops
of tbe spirits in every pint of water
used in watering. A tcaspoonfnl in a
basin of cold water will add much to
the refreshing effects of a bath. Noth-
ng is better than ammonia water for
cleaning the hair. In every, case rinse
off the ammonia with clear water. To
wbich we would only add, that, for re
moving grease spots, a mixture of
equal parts of ammonia and alcohol is
better than alcohol alone and for tak
ing out the red stains produced by
strong acids in blue and black cloths,
there is nothing better than ammonia.
Noe Bleed. There are two little
arteries which supply tbe whole face
with blood, one on each 6ide these
branch on from tho main arteries on
each side of the windpipe and running
upward toward the eye, pass over the
outside of the jaw-bone, about two
thirds of the way from the chin to the
angle of the jaw, under the ear. Each
ot tbese arteries, ot course, supplies
nst one-half the face, the nose being the
dividing line the left nostril is suppli
ed with blood from the left artery.
Now suppose your nose bleeds from the
left nostril with the end of the right
fore finger feel along tho outer edge of
tbe left jaw until you feel tbe beating
of the artery directly under your finger,
the same as the, pulse in your wrist;
then press the finger hard upon it, thus
getting the litt'e fellow iu a tight place
between your, lingers and jaw-bone the
result will be tbat not a drop of blood
goes into that side of the face while the
pressure continues hence the nose in
stantly stops bleeding for want of blood
to flow; continue the pressure for five
or ten minutes, and the ruptured ves
sels in the nose will by that time prob
ably contract so that when yon let the
blood into tbem thev will not leak.
Bleeding from a cut or wound any
where abont the face may be stopped in
the samo way. The Creator probably
placed these arteries as they are tbat
tbey might be controlled. Those to the
back of the head, arms and legs are all
arranged very conveniently for being
controlled in like manner."
