KASMERRIKS-SPKCIES.
Ed. Fahmeii : Thoro are some ten
or twelve species of tho raspborry. I
will, however, notlco only somo
three or four.
Jiubus Strigosus or Wild lied
'""spberry. "
Jiubus Occidcntalis or Blnck Rasp
berry. litibtts Jdaeus European Rasp
berry. Thcro is also another, known, all
over tho western portion of Oregon,
as tho Salmonberry. This species is
classified as
Hub us Macropelalus. Thcro aro
two varieties, the red or blue, and
tho white. I do not know whether
tho salmonberry has been cultivated
to any extent or not. I tried to grow
them on our red, basaltic hills, but
thoy do poorly, feccming to require
damp laud, and Mich as is found
along creek bottoms, or laud in
which humus abounds. I hopo some
ono along tho Willamette nnd Co
lumbia bottoms will try growing
them from seed. Valuablo varieties
might thus be obtained, and, being
natives, would suit our climate. So
nj'iflliyfbr llubus Jfacropctalus.
I lov for tlioso species which liavo
Ittou cultivated and greatly improv
ed: Jiubus Strigosus. Tho varieties of
this wild red raspberry aro numer
ous, and some of them quite good, as
Allen's Red Prolific, Allen's Ant
werp, Scarlet, Pearl Raspberry, Kirt
land. Tho best of theso aro tho
Kirtland and tho Scarlet.
Jiubus Jdaeus. This Is a foreign
raspberry, and Its varieties aro very
numerous ; and many of our best
and largest aro from this specios.
Somo of tho best aro : Hello do Fon
tcnay, Clarke, Col. Wilder, Down
ing, Franconia, Naomi, Antwerp.
Theso aro all splendid raspberries.
Every ono who owns a rood of land
should havo them. Thoy aro valu
nblo for market, and especially for
homo consumption. They aro very
healthy ; very good for pics, and to
cat with a littlo bugar. I llko them
In milk. But they aro llko tho dar
koy's rabbit, good any way.
Tito last species wo shall notice,
for tho present, is
Jiubus Occidcntalis. In this spe
cies aro Included tho lllack Rasp
berries, Black Caps. Tlieio aro very
hardy, great bearers, and flno for
mnrkot. I am partial to this species,
becauso of the iutonso flavor and
natural richness of tho berries, as
well as their splendid qualities for
culinary purposes. Among tho best
of theso aro : Davison's Thornless,
Doolittlo's Black Cap, Miami Dlack
Cap, American Black. This last I
havo had in cultivation many years.
It Is found growing wild nil over
this country. I havo not tried to Im
provo it by growing it from seeds,
for it suits mo well enough as it is;
though, like all of tho raspborry fain
lfo it can bo improved, I havo no
doubt.
Wliy raspberries aro not grown
moro than thoy aro, scorns strange.
They aro easily grown, and rcqulro
but littlo extra caro ; but thoy must
have tho richest kind of laud to
cpmo to perfection.
To succeed, tho raspberry must
havo deep, rich, very rich, land
must bo kept from growing too thick
in tho row; must bo highly manured
every year, and tho old ones remov
ed. They aro delicious, rich, heal
thy, and within tho reach of all.

Win. Davidson, Esq. Dear Sir:
Herewith pleaso find copies of the
Country Qcntlcman, published at Al
bany, New York, containing my cor
respondence concerning your State.
I am also writing articles for Tllton's
Journal of Jforticalturc, published at
Doston, wh Ich will give yout ho details
of my observations on thcfrultsof Ore
gon, and will send you the numbers as
issued. Doing a monthly, It will re
quire somo time to publish all my let
ters on tho subject.
Knowing tho adaptation of the cli
mate and soil of your State to the pro
duction of all kinds of fruits. I foci it a
duty to call tho attention of those de
siring to engage In the buslncsn, as well
as others, to its superior advantages.
At no very distant day will It bccoiuo
an important branch of industry, and
a source of great wealth to individuals
and the State.
Thanking you kindly far attentions
received, 1 am yours, very respectfully,
J. A. Donaldson.

Another Achievement of the Spectro
scope. A now and another most wonder
ful achievement of that remarkable
instrument, tho spectroscope, lias
Just been announced by a German
astronomer, ir. vogci, wno nas suc
cessfully applied this instrument to
tho measurement of the sun's rota
tion. Tho form of Instrument used
by him was that known as a rever
sion spcetroM'ope. As originally con
structed, it consisted of two direct
vision prNms, with their refracting
angles facing opposite ways, llcuce
a beam of light falling upon thorn
produces two spectra, ono of which
has tho colors above tho other, and
In nn inverse, order. Tho object
glass being divided horizontally,
mid cadi half being movablo micro
metically. it is possible not only to
Juxtapoo, but oven to superposo tho
spectra, and to measure tno dis
tances of tho lines with great accu
racy. Tho instrument was doviscd for
tho purpose of measuring the direc
tion and velocity of astronomical mo
tions, ono of the problems proposed
by tho inventor being tho very ono
now solved by Dr. Vogcl. If tho two
spectra in tho instrument represent,
as they may be made to do, different
and opposite limbs of tho sun, then,
slncoouu is npproaching us nnd the
other is receding from us, thcro
ought to bo a dlflurcnco in tno posi
tion of certain spectrum lines. Tho
difference in velocity is about a mllo
per second ; an amount which Zoll
uer says ought to chango the posi
tion of tho sodium lines by a quan
tity equal to 1-SOth of the distance
between them.
With his instrument as originally
constructed, ho was nnablo lo ob
serve any displacement; but with a
iiiuiu funuuui lu.iiruiuuiu, vuuaisi-
liiir of a circular train of ilvo hlcrhlv
dlsporslvo prisms thus arranged,
wnicn no lurmsncu at kioi, lit. vo
gcl lias been ablo to detect a dli
placoment of the flue lino F of tho
solar spectrum, by nn amount which
gives a velocity of rotation of two
miles por second. Subsequent ob
servations, mado with moro caro
and with a highor dlsporslvo power,
havo reduced this number to 1.62
miles per second. This is only 0.28
mild' moro than tho velocity given
by Carrington's observations on the
spots, which was 1.21 miles per sec
ond; an approximation which is re
markable. Rain. In a lecture at Norwich ro
ccntlv, Mr. James Olaishcr. F. S. R.,
wild : Tho whole of tho rain had its
oriirln and fall 600 feet from the earth.
Desiring to discover tho inilucuco of
the moon on tho elements, ho took
observations, and discovered, after a
long scries of observations, that on
tho ninth day of the moon thcro was
the most rain, and that on tho first
and last week of tho moon there was
the least amount. lie had taken ac
count from 1615 to 18G9 of every day
on which thcro had been nn Inch of
rainfall, nnd ho had found that on
July 20, 1807, tho rainfall amounted
to U 7-10th Ins tho largest amount
that had fallen in ono day at tho Roy
al Observatory. From careful olser
vations ho had mado, ho had no doubt
that tho moon did exercise an influ
ence upon tho rain. Another inves
tigation that ho made was as to tho
time of day that rain fell most, and
ho had found that tho largest quant l
ty.of rain fell at about -1 o'clock in tho
afternoon.
The Fossil Plants ok Canada.
Dr. J. W. Dawson, of tho Geologi
cal Survey of Canada, has Just pub
lished his report on the fossil land
plant of tho Devonian and Upper Sil
urian formations of Canada. In this
report, he has catalogued or describ
ed more than 120 species of land
plants found In formations older than
tho carboniferous in Canada, thus
placing tho knowledge of this old flo
ra In advance of that of any other
portioirortno world.

Volcanic Eruptions. Archdea
con Pratt, by discussing tho amount
of precession In a globo with a mol
ten nucleus, ilnds conclusive evi
dence of Sir Win. Thompson's opin-1
ion that the earth is solid, nnd that,
therefore, volcanic eruptions aro at-'
tribtitablo to somo other cause than
the ono popularly assigned. Hisviow I
is confirmed by numerous recent ob
servations, which indicate that the
increase of temperature, below tho
earth's surface, soon reaches a limit.
A Ni:w Bueud ok Fowls. Some
genius out West has been playing
" pranks" on tho Judges of poultry
at tho Muskingum (Iowa) County
Fair lately. An exchange gives tho
following particulars of tho "sell" :
A deformed chicken of common
breed, tho deformity resulting from
a broken back, was entered at tho
Muskingum County Fair as a lluii-
fnirlan cock of tho "Slav! Magyar
treed," Just imported, and tho Jud
ges, after Inspecting it, awarded it
tho first premium over one of the
finest poultry shows ever seen in tho
country."
