Agricultural Chemistry and Geology. onosmc root) or l’I.AN‘lS. .

In order that pleats may live and ‘grow. they require constant supplies of food. This food the obtain partly from the air and partly from the_soi , and it is of two kinds, namely, organic and mor- gsnie. The organic food which lsnt: receive from the air is cltiedy in the form n carbonic acid gas. which is a kind of air without ottlour. but having a slightly sour taste, and a peculiar smell. liextiiigiiislies tire destroys suirnul life. It is one-ball heavier than common sir, renders lime water milky sad is absorbed by its own bulk of cold water.

This gas osusus the boiling up of soda water, and the frotltiag of beer. It is composed of ear-

uud oxygen; 6 lbs of carbon and I6 lbs of oxygen forming 99 lbs of carbonic scid.—When combined with solid substances they are called carbonates. All limestone rocks. for example are carbonates. nearly one half of their weight being formed by carbonic acid gas. It readily combines with a great variety of other solid substances. To prepare this gas a little muristtc acid may be poured upon pieces of limestone in a tall covered beer glass. orin a bottle. It may also be prepared by pouring vinegar upon soda. The gas will rise and fill the glass or bottle like water. We may prove that it is composed of carbon and oxygen, by burning charcoal, which is csvboii,_in ajar of oxygen gas. When the charcoal is extinguished. it will be found that the jar contains carbonic acid gIs—forifa taper be plunged into it, it will in- stsuilv be extinguished.

5000 gallons of sir there are two gallons of Carbonic Acid Gas which plants freely drink in. Here we discover one of the wonderful adapta- tion: of thing: in nature to each other. Though Carbonic Acid Gus form: only I-2500tb part of the atmosphere. yet the plants spread out their bread and thin leaves in such great abundance and

srstively large a spsce- and each leaf being so plied with a great number of open- ing: or pores, they are enabled to take in a large quantity of this gas from the air. It is a striking fact that there are no less than l90,000of these pores, or little mouths, on a singie square inch of the common Iilsc. We may be able to form an idea of the number of these that are at work upon a large tree from the fact that upon a single oak tree seven millions of leaves have been counted.

Plants suck in Carbonic Acid Gas. only in the day-time. During the night they give ofl's quan- tity of this gas. They only retain the carbon which they receive from the air and give ofl‘the oxygen again. as may be proved by putting a few green leaves under a large glussful of fresh spring water and placing them in the sunsliiuc. when small bubbles of oxygen gas wi I be can to rise from the leaves and collect in the upper’ part of the glass.

The editor of the carbonic acid gas absorbed and retained by the plant is to hasten its growth by furnishing part 0 the material from which its stslk, stern. leaves, &c., are composed.

Besides carbonic acid gas, plants drink in, from the air a quantity of watery vapour, which serve: to moisten the leaves and stems, to fill the vessels and partly to produce the substance of the plant itsel .

It will beremembered that plants contain starch, sugar, gum. &c., as was explain in is previous communication ; and if we consider the facts that these parts of the plant consist of carbon, hydro- gen and oxygen, (the two latter gases united in such proportions as to form water) we may eerily discover how it is that the water which is absorb- ed by plants constitute a part of their substance.

Plants also derive carbon from the sail in the forms of carbonic acid, humic acid and some other substances which exist in the black vegetable Inutter of the soil. Humie acid may be formed by dissolving a little common soda in water and boiling the solution upon rich dark soil. After the solution has settled it must red ed‘ and vinegar or weak spirit of salt added to the clear brown liquid. Brown flocks will fall, which are humic acid. [Further information on this point will be given in a subsequent communication.)

Nitrogen also forms a portion of the organic food of plants and is taken itp by them from the «oil principally in the forms of ant-ironia [hatin- hortt] and nitric acid. o nitrogen has ever been discovered to enter plants from the air though it exists therein in so large a proportion.

(FrostlA¢ Rotten Transcript. Jun: 88.) A MODEL BABY.

There was only one baby among the members of the late excursion psity up the Mississippi to the Falls of St. Anthony. Thai baby was only six months old—s son of Henry Fsrnam, Esq». the engineer of the Chicago and Koch lslsnd Railroad. When the baby was first brought on board the Golden Era, sortie of the co ps y shrugged their shoulders and said “lrumplr!” One crusty old bachelor muttered.“ We may look out for squall: now;"urid s ouug man with rnoiistsches, who passed for a wit,sighed for the days of good king Herod.

The general satisfaction at the baby’: on-

rslleled behavior at length manifested itself in usuhstantial form. It was resolved to gets a lestirrionial. A subscription was put in circulation for a gold cup, to be presented as a token of the admiration and esteem of the passengers, who, when they reflected liow rune : ' might have detracted from their enjoyment, liberally opened their purses, and subscri th hsiidsomesuru of I A formal presentation of this offering was then made. Mr. Rockwell, lsta member of Congress from Connecticut. was depuied to address the baby. This he did in the presence of the assembled passengers, the baby meanwhile being held in his mother's arms, and always 'umping and chuckling at the right place in Mr. kwell's speech.

The speech, which was a capital one, and enunciated 'lt due gravity and dignity, was

Ex-President Fillmore was appointed to prepare an inscription for the gold cup: : task which he sccotnp'ishetl with his accustomed good taste; and Mr. Sockwell was appointed to purchase the co .

Thus ended one of the plesssntest little opi- sodes of the great excursion-—une that must be always remembered with pleasure by those who witnessed it, and especially by the parents of the child who so early in life won so solid : mark of the approbation of his seniors.

So addicted to it was he, and so depend- ent upon it for all the news, as to refuse intel- ligence from any other source; and to this fortn- tstu he persisted in applying personally. Nobody was sufl'ered to read its broad and stately columns in his stead or on his account. No information was acceptable, oven in that select source of light and knowledge, which did not shine through his

He could not read himself, and would not permit any one else to do it for him. As his illness happened to be of: bad kind, and as obstinate as himself, he may easily be conceived to be In a tight place. For two whole year: he was without any hint from the external world. His only mental sustenance was such so he had collected and laid up, squirrel-like, in former days. Hasu ' bears do. on his old fat, but it was getting pretty well used up, one may believe, when, though he was carefully attended by doctors—we forget of what ’opsthy. for lie age rich—he was given ovsr—ss cured, at the on of the time mentioned. No sooner was permission granted for the indulgence of his appetite for the Tiara, than he full with incredible urdor to the perusal of that sper, beginning where he had left ofl'tvro years before.

We shall not stop to relate what alternations ofjoy and sorrow, of satisfaction and chagrin, played by turns over his still psllirl countenance, as be rushed with eager curiosity, not through a fable, but the real and stirring history of his country and the world at large, during a space filled with the most agitating events that ever, perhaps. occurred in Europe, namely, the two, years preceding the downfall of Napoleon. But when he came to the battle of Waterloo, his interest grew perfectly intense. and at the victory for England and the allies. which terminated forever that battle and the struggle in which his country had been engaged so long. he was thrown into a psrnxystn of exultstion. a rose up and vociferated a hundred liiszzas with all his might. —Nothing could appease him, and a sudden loss of voice was only able to stop his clamor, and allay somewhat the violence of his excitement. It was, it may be well supposed, a trial of no small magnitude to satisfy the lonnings of his pent-tip curiosity for so long it period, and in come to the knowledge of the state ofhis corinit-y‘s tsfliiirsiri the space i I a few clays. which no person had dared to whisper to him before.

Msssust. rlsiisus.---'l'lie Commander-iii-chief of the French expedition to the East. is, in many respects. a remarkable man. His military success is one of the most striking example: of rapid advancement which has been achieved in the French army of occupation in Algeria. M. de St. Arnsud was born at Paris in ISOI. of s family not distinguished by fortune. He was young when he entered the army. During the reign olChsr|ea X.he was for: short time in the body-guard of that monarch; but he shortly after resigned his situation and returned to Eng- land, where he resided some time. Soon afici- ihe revolution of I830, he returned to France, and once more sutured the army. It was at this time, while the regiment to which he belonged was oti duty at Fort de llluue, where the Duchess ds Berri was imprisoned, that he obtained the favorable notice of Marshal Bugesud, commandant of the citadel, by his intelligence and activity. In I837.usesptsin.he went to Algiers in the foreign legion, which was chiefly composed of political refugees who had sought emplo ‘mum in the armies of ‘reuse.
