of warm. As it issues through the Nar-
rows of Beraini its temperature is 89°. But
after it has ran over a thousand mile,- o the

liar Britannic majesty'E hk., The Nile in
May, 1861, sailed from the harbor of Hal-

ander Milne, that officer as he entered the
Gulf Stream., found the water at the stern of
kis vessel at a temp. of 40°, while before her
bows the thermometor in the Stream stood
at 70 ° . The heat actually set free in a win-
ter's day by the Gulf Stream is enough to
warm up the whole column of atmosphere

would be easy to show that the thermal

other, "sufficient, if utilized, to keep in con-

sending forth a stream of molten iron as

iest river" When the southwards winds
take up the vesicles of vapor in which these
treasures are stored, and waft them to Eng-
land, the amount of latent heat set free by
precipitation overhead in orte day is com-
puted to equal that created by the corabus-

• The following anecdotes are related of
the Rev. Mr. Rodger, at one time minister
of Galston;_ in Ayrshire. - Mr. Rodger was
a 'somevrbat peculiar man. His complexion
was very dark. How he first became ac-
quainted with the lady whom be *married
is not recorded, but matters having advan-
ced some stages, he rode to her father,s
house with the view of completing them.
The door was opened to him by the lady's
-
father himself, for whose welfare Rodger in-
quired kindly, receiving for answer a com-
mon rejoinder of a canny Scot, that he was
'very weel, thank ye, but dinna ken Who
was asking for him.' Rodger's reply was
chatacterestic. am an ambassador of the
Lori Jesus Christ from Galston,' 'Ineeed,
sir !' said the old gentleman 'maybe sae, but
gin ye had said ye war ae ambassador O' the
black King o' Moroco,Twould hae tliocht

point, and married the lady; and his ad-
dress to her on bringing her home to the
manse was noteworthy. 'Now,' `madam, you
•must take off your shoes and put on your

aeffcted in his later years was the
having of roasted eggs for breakfast.

• ITITDERGROURP. FLowns.—A vegetable
curiosity, met with in /few Zealand, has been
&scribed by Mr, Taylor, says the Scien,,tific
Review, in whose honor it has been named
Daetylantiras Taylori. Ire describes the
plant as a parasite, which attaches itself to
the roots (and not like others to the branch-
es) of trees. It has no leaves, but the stalk
is covered with brown scales, the petals of
the flowers are slightly tinged with pink in
the centre, but, in genetal, they are of a
dirty white or brown colour, and transpa-
rent ; the stamens are white ; the flowers
have a strong smell, partly fragrant, though
earthy and unpleasant. This plant forms a
• large excrescence on the root of the Tataka
pittosporum, which is covered with worts;
these increase and become buds. A dozen
or more flowers are often on one stem. He
first met with it in the mountains near Hi-
kurangi. Mr, Nairn found a similar para-
site in the forest at the base of Mount Ta-
ranaki ; ..this was also attached to the root
of a tree, and had a, number of flowers on it
of a light -blue colour. Mr. Williamson af-
terwards gave Mr. Taylor another specimen,
which he found in clearing some ground.
The whole plant and flow-ers were entirely
covered with vegetable mould; the stem
between the bracts were of a rusty brown;
there were twenty-five flowers open at once.
Another excresence had eighteen. He
states that the odour of one plant was some-
thing like that of a ripe melon, whilst, the
other bad also a disagreeable earthly smell.

Dr. Strong•lived near the bridge, near the
-commencement of the afternoon service he
saw hi's- people flocking across the river to
the ether church. He readily understood
that they feared they should have the same
young man in the aftertoon. Gathering
up his wits, which generally came at his
bidding, be said to the young Minister
"My brother across the river is rather feeb-
le,. and I know he will take it kindly to
have you preach to his ,people, and if you
will do so, I will give you a note to 'him,
and will be as much obliged to you as if I
would have you preach for me; and I want
to have. you preach the same sermon that
you preached to my people this morning."
The young minister, supposing this to be a
commendation of his sermon, started in
good spirits, delivered his note, and was in -L
vited to preach 'nest cordially. He saw be-
• fore him one-half of Dr. Strong's people, and
they had to listen for one hour and a half
to the same dull humdrum sermon that they
heard in the 'morning., They understood
the jcke, however, and said they never
would undertake to run away from Strong
again.

THE WASTE LANDSA. i.—great work is
abaut to be undertaken by the Government
of Ontario, Last Session the Legislature
appropriated $60,000 for the purpose of ex-
plorations, anx1 we understand it is intend-
ed shortly to begin the work by surveying a
portion of the immense tract lying between
Lake Nipissing and Lake Neepigong, a
stretch of about five hundred miles, and
•containing ten millions of acres. The part
of this tract to be surveyed first, is to ex-
tend one hundred miles inland to the, cen-
tral line. Two exploring parties will lie set
to work, each comprising s.-,wenty men, and
the cost, it is said, will be about 812,000.
The undertaking is one of great importance
and it is to be hoped it will be'proceecied
with to,completion, now that a beginning
is being Made. It is not a little singular
that the work of exploring the tract alluded
to has been -delayed so long. Here we have
anillions of acres lying waste within easy
•reach, and 'just in the rear of us. • Soine
may say that it is almost valueless, but un-
til it is surveyed no one can say whatsort
of land it is. • A stretch of five hundred
miles between the two lakes referred to,
must certainly contain some good land; at
all events it is well to ascertain its charact-
er; and the government have taken tbe right
plan of doll% it. We do not often ap-
• prove of the actions of the Provincial Gov-
ernment, but we can do so with reference to
the proposed exploration of the waste lands
which ought to babrought under settlement
at the earliest time possible. • We really
.know nothing of the vast extent and quality
of the land lying north of Lake,Superior.—
