The great Wellington, "the Iron Duke," -was born May 1, 1769, at Castle, Ireland ; his father was Garrett, first Earl of Mornington, and his brother -was the Marquis Wellesley. He completed his military education in the military college of Angers, France ; entered the army in 1787 as ah ensign, and 1793 was a Lieutenant Colonel. In a brief service in the Netherlands he distinguished himself in several repulses of the French, and in 1796 went to India, where he rose rapidly, and made his first grand success at Assay e, with 4,500 men defeating the combined Mahratta forces, from 40,000 to 60,000 strong; followed by the victories of Argaum and the great fort of Gawulghur ; for these services he was made & O. B., and received the thanks of Parliament and the King. In 1805 he returned to Great Britain, obtained a seat in the House of Commons, and in April, 1807, was appointed Chief Secretary of Ireland. In the year he went to Spain in command ot an expedition to dnvo out from that peninsula the French forces, and, after aeveral affairs, defeated Juuot in the battle of Vimicira, and was thanked by the Commons. He was subsequently made Marshal General of the Portu guese army; various combats ensued, and then the victory of Talavera, where a desperate struggle took place; he was again thanked by Parliament, and was created a peer and given a pension of 2,000. His next feat was to repulse the French attacks, September, 27, 1810, at Busaco, and the year after he received the thanks of Parliament for liberating Portugal. Spain had next to bo cleared of its invaders, and this duty also fell to him. For his brilliant services at the storming of the fortress of Cindad Rod- rigo, January 19, 1812, lie was created a grandee of Spain, again thanked by Parliament, 2,000 of a further pension given him, aud he was advanced to the peerage with the title of Earl of Wellington. In April lie took Badajoz and on July 22 took Salamanca, one of his greatest military triumphs ; for these he received the Order of the Golden Fleece, and was made Generalissimo of the Spanish armies, was once more advanced in the British peerage by the title of Marquis of Wellington. Parliament thanked him again, and 100,000 were laid out in the purchase of lands to be settled on him and his heirs. Me met his enemies, the French, at Victoria, under Junot, and added another victory to his list, and was made a field marshal of Great Britain, and succeeded in driving the French out of the peninsula by the time Napoleon had been persuaded to sign his abdication. The great soldier of the British forces was created Marquis of Douro and Duke of Wellington in the British peerage, and received an additional grant of 100,000 and took his seat in the House of Lords. When Napoleon escaped from Elba, Welling ton was placed in command of the forces on the Continent, and the two great antagonists met at Waterloo, with the result know to all the world. Wellington had command of the army of occupation, ot the request of the allied sovereigns, from 1815 to 1818, during which time there were two attempts, made upon his life. The Kiug of the Netherlands created him Prince of Waterlpo, parliament voted, ,him 200,-000 more, and after various services he succeeded the DuEobf York as Com-, of the army, ivhioh he resigned shortly after, on Mr. Canning, being called to form an administratioji. to tae, it again, anl pnc more resign it, wher he was caljefl tp form an t Space" will ,tncfc . perii'it, us tip 6' afetl 1852. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Daily Swelling of Plants. With delicate means of measurement ETerr Kraus has recently proved the existence of a phenomenon in all plant organs, which is connected with their variable water content, and consists in a periodical swelling and contraction in twenty-four hours. Leaves, etc., decrease in thickness from the early morning till the afternoon, when they begin to swell again, attaining a greater size Ly night than by day (this is well seen in agave, aloe, and the like); similarly with buds, flowers, green cones, fruits, etc. , and with stems and branches. Herr Kaiser has before proved such a period in the trunks of trees, and Herr Kraus shows that both wood and bark share in it, independently or unitedly. The various experiments of Herr Kraus removal of foliage, watering, shutting out light, etc. lead to an explanation of the phenomena by the varying reciprocal action of those factors which bring water into the plant and those which carry it away. By night only the water-absorbing activity of the parts below ground operates, by day the water-consuming activity of the parts above ground besides. The water consuming activity depends mainly on the foliage and on light "(removal of leaves or of light stops contraction), and consists essentially in transpiration. Herr Kraus states that when a plant is watered these things occur : In a short time, less than an hour, the stem begins to swell ; both wood and bark take part in this, the wood always first. The swelling progresses at a pretty quick rate, upward of several meters per second. After some time, perhaps an hour, contraction gradually recurs. The contraction began at the upper part of an acacia after ten minutes, whereas the swelliug at the lower part continued fifty minutes. This shows that the contraction is duo to the activity of the foliage, aud gradually extended downward. London Times. Iron buildings often burn, yet wooden buildiugs may be made fire-proof, and frequently are so built. This statemeut is wortli careful thought by all builders. It shows that an incombustible material is not needed for a fire-proof building. A slow burning building is always better than the so-called iron buildings. One of the means by which wood may be made fire-proof or slow-burning, is the exclusion of the air from it, as by sheathing with tin or covering with mortar. For security, we should have no flues or empty connecting spaces in the walls, to carry flames where it can not be reached by water, nor its exact position known. Floors are fire-proof where the timbers are incased in mortar and the air spaces closed, or where the floor is solid. A layer of mortar between double floor boards makes a floor nearly fire-proof from below, and in a dwelling quite so from above. Is it not possible to build without making every wall a labyrinth of flues lined with tinder, aud giving the utmost protection and draft to a fire that may once start in them? The danger of double wooden walls is reduced one-half" when the air spaces are cut off from alt connection with each other. tu In a year the number of respirations is, in most persons, over 9,000,000 ; and 125,000 cubic feet of air earned through the lung?, purifies 5.010 tons of blood.
