Kcld says: “A pear tree which blooms, but bears no fruit, is making too much root growth, and recommends digging a trench eighteen inches deep below the circumference <>! the drat limbs, tilling it half full Of compost manure, and returning the soil on top of it. This will check root growth nnd start the tree in benrlna.” Astronomy is one ot the exact sciences. When Sir. J. llerschel was defending tbe Character of astronomical.science in view of an error ot nearly 4 million mi'os fa estimating tho sun’s distance, the correo lion was shown to apply to an error observation so small as to be equivalent to the apparent breadth ot a h inun hail at a distance of 135 loot.
