Its choice Literature, its superior Music, its large amount of valuable information on miscellaneous subjects, its practical and reliable information in regard to the fashions, and artistic illustrations, give it a just claim to its well-earned title, "The Model Magasine of America." About Fresh Air What we Ilreathe. From the Scientifie American. We have al heard of the IJlack Hole of Calcutta. It was a room eighteen feet square. In this room one hundred and. forty-six persons were confiued. It had but one window, and that a small one. Dr. Dungilson', in his " Elements of Hygiene," says,: ' In less than an hour many of the prisoners were attack ed with extreme difficulty in breathing, several were delirious, and the place l was filled with incoherent ravings, in which the cry for water was predomi nant. This was handed to them by the sentinels, but without the effect of allayiug their thirst. In less than four hours many were suffocated, or died iu violent delirium. Iu five hours, the survivors, except those at the grate, were frantic and outrageous. At length most of them became insensible. Eleven hours after they were imprisoned, twenty-three only of the one hundred and forty-six came out alive, aud those were in highly putrid fover." There are many black holes" like this used for sleeping rooms, says the London Co-operator ; the difference between them and the one at Calcutta is that they are not cram me I quite so full i of humau beings. Iu a word, then, we may say a sleeping apartment should be large, lofty and airy. It is poor economy for health to have large and spacious parlors, aud small, ill ven tilated bedrooms.- Fashion, however, is a reigning deity in this respect, and will, no doubt, continue to bear sway, notwithstanding our protest against her dominion. You will scarcely drink after another person from the same glass, yet you will treat h over and over the same air, charged with the filth and poison of a hundred human bodies around you. You cannot bear to touch a dead body, because it is poisonous and poluting, but you can take .right into' your lungs, 4ind consequently right into your body and system those poisonous particles ' .and noxious exhalations which the bodies around you have refused, and which have been cast into the atmos. phere ; bv their lungs, because the health oi their bodies required them to Jae thrown off. If the timorously nice creatures who jean scarcely set a foot upon the ground, jw ho are so delicate that they run dts tracted aMhe crawling of a worm, fly- "ing of a bat, or squeaking of a mouse, .could see what they oreatne at the mia niffht carousal, the very polite ball, and the bright theatre, they would never be xaugbt to such company again, nay, u thev could see what they breathe in 1 their own dwellings, after the doors and windows had besn closed a little while, ihev would soon be keepmc open houses. s More sickness is caused by vitiated air than can be named. It is one of the most prominent causes of scrotula, which is but another name lor half the diseases that attack the human body. It vitiates and destroys the whole xountain ot me the blood. In the sick room it often augments the disease, or renders it incurable. If the yhysiciun comes in and opens the window, or a door stands ajar lor a mo ment, tho good nurse or the tender niO' ther, or tho kind wife, or the loving sister will tip and close it, as though the life of the sick were cXstake. All this ia well -meant kindness, but really cruel. If you would have health, breathe fresh air, throw o, en your win dows every morning, and often during the day ; leave off your muiHers for the chin. For twenty years I was accus tomed to never going without u hand kerchief tied closely around the mouth, and for nearly that period have left it off. I have had fewer colds, aud suf fered far less from changes of climate than previously. Let air into your bed rooms; you cannot have too much of it, provided it does not blow directly upon you. i Many students are injured by vitiat ed air in their studies. These are small, and when the doors and windows are closed, the atmosphere soon becomes loaded with noxious vapors. The man is inteut upon his subject; he scarcely knows whether he breathes or not, much less does he think of what he breathes. Many also are seriously in jured by the manner of heating their studies. All closed stoves should be avoided. The good old-fashioned, open, largo chimney, with a fireplace BufficU eotly capacious to receive the wood with but little chopping, is much pre ferable to the stoves and grates, and the whole paraphernalia of modem fuel-saving inventions which have rack ed the brains and tortured the intellect of many laymen, and some clergymen. APPARENT imilfxMOXS OF THE SUN ANI MOON. We are so accustomed to the near equality of the sun aud moon as rejects their apparent size, that we aro apt to overlook the fact that this apparent equality must be regarded rather iu the light of a fortunate accident than as in any way an essential attribute of the orbs whieh rule the day and the night. In the whole range of the solar system there is no other instance of so remark able an association. In Mercury, Ve nus and Mars, of course, no eclipses of any sort can occur, because these plan ets have no moons. Hut even in Jupi ter, notwithstanding the grandeur of his system i of satellites, and though total solar eclipses recur at interval which must be measured by hours rather than by months, as with u, yet such solar., eclipses as we see can never take place ; for not one of his moons 14 CJpaple of just hiding the Sun's disc and a very; narrow border all round, while beond that border the colored prominences, and beyond the promi nences the glory of the corooa, are left in view. . It we fry to conceive the cir cumstance of an cc'ipsQ, of the sun by one of Jupiter's nearest moons, we have to imagine a dark dfsc capable of obht crating a sun more than thirty times larger than that which is actually seen from Jupiter; and even the furthest of Jupiter s moons covers twice as great a space as the sun. It is easily seen that when a total eclipse is just beginning or just ending. under these circumstances, only small part of the matter outside the sun cau.be visible, and nothing resembling that complete ring of such matter, visi ble to ourselves when the moon obliter ates from view the nearly equal solar disc. So also in Saturn whence the sun must appear as a mere dot of bright light and in Uranus and Neptune, whence he appears yet smaller, there can be no such eclipses we inhabitants of earth are favored with. Hence it may not j unreasonably be concluded that terrestrial astronomers alone have any knowledge of the colored solar pro minences and of the corona. It is worth mentioning, also, that in teresting as are tho discoveries which have been recently made during solar eclipses, there are other discoveries due also j to the observation of tota eclipses, though in very ancient times, which are as full of interest, it sounds incredible, but is nevertheless strictly true, that, owing to comparatively rougn observations oi , ancient eclipses modern astronomers have learned that the moon is gradually drawing nearer to the earth, and further, that the rate of the earth's rotation on her axis is slowly but surely diminishing inso much that at some far distant epoch the day will last as long as a lunar month. Nor do- the facts that the ap proach of the moon will in time be changed! into recession, and that the lengthening of the day takes place so slowly that millions of centuries must elapse before it is completed, dimin ish the interest which attaches to these tokens of mutability in relations which had once been regarded as altogether ( unchangeable, Cornhill Magazine. Scientific and Theological the Hog. From tho Scientific American. A writer in the Chicago Post thus expatiates on the hog : The hog has been in disrepute a long time, at least ever since he began to play his part m the ancient religions, It s fashionable to ridicule and do nounce htm, to call htm a filthy brute, and-to, insist thathe is the dire author ofleprosynsnu.pttou, caneer,.scrofu. la, and the most disgusting diMeases that afflict humanity, i his is the teach- mg oi prejuuice, nor. oi science. ultimate expression of Lapland.

Still is the iccking roast pig tho sacrifice of many a dinner table, and still is the rural ceiling festooned with the savory sausage, and the -smoke-house fragrant with ham. We deal with facts, mt sentiment.- J he hog is a true cosrao polite a citizen of the world, llo in- creases and multiplies, and inhabits every part of the habitable globe. He is as ubiquitous as the bat.

This animal has been under the ba'n of many religions. The Mohammedans learned from the Jews, as the Jews had learned from the Egyptians, to 'hate him, because he perversely declined to chew the cud ; but he still manages to masticate and digest consilerable pottasre in the course of a year. The hog is the product of nature's most economical thought. There is no part that cannot be utilized. His fle-di, fat, bristles, hair, hoofs and bones are all turned to account. 44 The divisions of his unctuous body," mays Apacius, 'are as familiar as the divisions of the earth. His ears and feet go to souse ; his brains are a choice dish for the epi cure. His tail has for ages been claim ed by successive generations ot chil dren as their particular property. Tra dition points out how to appropriate it; roast on the coals, take in the fingers and oat without salt."
