On Sublttrancout and Ominoui Sounds.-iT
Jolm ilersohell has lately-considered this subject,
and conjectures that the noises of INucoos m Arn-
bis miiy be owing to"rtigBiibTc r ra neous p rtiduc I ion
ol steam, by the generation and condensation ol
which, under certain circumrlauces Bounds are
well known to be produced. " (
lie also remarks, that wherever extensive sub
terraneous caverns exist, communicating with each
other, or with the atmosphere, by means of small
orifices, cpnside.rablo
ma v occasion currents of air to pass through these
apertures, withnrufficteTnToeTly for producing so
norous vibrations. The sounds described by Hum
boldt, as heard at sunrise by those who sleep on
cerfar6granite r6cks7"on :ihe banks of the OrtnocoT
may be explained 00 this principle. r '
The sounds produced at sunrise by the statue of
Memiion, and Ihe twang, like the breaking ol a
string, heard by the French naturalists to proceed
from, a granite mountain at Carnac, are viewed by
him as referable toadifIerentcaue,viz: 'fopyo
metric expansions and contractions of Ihe helero-
, g wiwius.ui ate rial, tf wbicLlhe stilu-and.mouotaiu
coiisistji. Similar sw'ifld and from the same cause,
are emitted, when heat is applied to any connected
piece of machinery ; and Ihe snapping often heard
in the bars of a grate aflords a familiar example of
th is phenomenon.-
The following amusing account of an ominous
sound is given by Gardner, in his book on the 4 Mu
sic of Nature :' 44 n one of the baronial castles of
the Worth, which has been uninhabited for years,
there were heard at times such extraordinary noises
as to confirm the opinion among the country 10-
plo that the place was haunted. An old story was
current, that an heir apparent had been murdered
by an uncle that he might possess the estate. This
wicked nran,- however, after erijfijrng'it for a'time
was so annoyed bj, the ouids in the castle, that he
retired with an uneasy conscience from the domum
and died in Fiance. T
4 Not many years a 23, the property descended to
branch of the female line (one of the heroes of
Waterloo) who, nothing daunted, was determined
to make thiscastlo his place of residence. As the
noises were a subject of real terror to his tenantry
e formed the resolution of sleeping in the castle

the Corridor, and died awav. This was followed
by one of a higher key, which directed his footsteps
with more certainty to Ihe spot. Pursuing the
sound, he found himself m the hall of his ancestors,
and, vaulting upon the large oaken table, set down
his lump, and, fulding his cloak about him, deter

For successful tflorls in pursuit of theso desira

rules. .- . '.. : ,': '.' . '" "
- First. Cultivate loss ground. We have a!m. t
universally w itncsseu in our estimation, a com :
eraUe curtailment of clear prvfiWfcoccastoucJ ty .
over cropiug t so that 4be performance of the hi-
bor could neither ix1 "'' mil tior so timcii executed,
both of which wo consider very 'essential to the far

Secondly. What yoj undertnke, do 'well :
44 What is wfitti doing at all, Is worth doing well."
Our farmers loo generally sutler quite .nous los
ses, by perfuming their work in a slovenly mainii r.
Thirdly. Cultivate more extensively Root crops,
and Artificial Grasses. It is next toun iuipoi!i,!f

these auxiliaries, or a heavy ; tat upon b nh In

Foutthly. Observe tlie rtrictc:;t .economy, it
collecliiig and preserving inanures, and .applying
them to tho soil, so as to obtain the gre.iti st p,-'-bo
beiii I'nt. We generally see this prime .source,
'of Wealth most shamefully ueVl. tejj and yet Ih'wi
who iiiost neglect Iheir mainne, are the very t vr
