Potash Mines.— 'A discovery of. muoh interest; and importance,' ' The Tiruea ' states, " has recently been male at Ascherdlebeti, ia P<ussis, m the vicinity of the ETartz Mountains. Within the laat 21) years the Govormnents ot Prussia and An halt have been deriving large proti'sfrom the working ot Buadry pica or m nea productive of p/ta^h salc^ ■ (situate! at titatfsfurth a^nd Leopolddhvli. Hiihorto these uadercaking^ have eujjyed a monop »ly, but' an ihilep3ndeuc party of explorers, aided. by the diatnoud rockboring apparatus, have suoeede i m reaching the potaah deposits at moderate depths not far from idtasafurLb, The first boring reached what is called the ' ktunit' pirtion of the potaah, layer, which was proved to have a thiokauss of 50 English feet. Ai the Prasaiaa mtuinn law enticles the discoverers, to tt concession rqaal to an area of 2, 189, 000 square metres, it is computed that ihis diacuvery iucludes about; 66,00 ',000 tons of potash, salts. But the explorers, consisting chit- fly of English capitalists, have proo>eded further, aod by means of other borings have obtained tne oommand, of an enormous area of tuis valuable deposits, which ia how going to be exteusively worked. Tho discovery is likely to be of great service to chemical industry, by providing au ample supply of oue of its staple commodities, tho want of whob theatened at one time to be rather sirious. The extrAordin iry fertility itnmrtei to the soil by the usa of popahi minure also renders the disco verca a matter of direct interest to th» a^ry ul turist. . Expez-ieuee gained m Germany and Holland shows that by the use of tke kainit and other forms of potash, land naturally poor can be made to bear extraordinary crops. This systeoa of fertilising has been found peculiarly advantageous m tha case of peat- lands and moors." Osa may got too muoh of many good , tlrioga, ' but not' of kissing (say-i the ' Kecord ')'. It is simple yet excellent. One experienced writeiv(we forget wbo) has gv<m us some capital advice as to the practi c <»f kissing. "Don't," says he, " kifß all over, as 'grasshoppers walk. Don't ki.B3 everybody, including many little doi»s, male und_ female, Doa'fc sit down to it. Stand up. You need not ba anxious to geb m a crowd; Two persons are pleufcy to comer and catct a ktfS.
