FACTS FEOM THE CENSUS. ' Mr. J. C. G. Kennedy, Superintendeaf of the Census, Jias made an able though too long Report from his Bureau, for the infor mation of the present Congress.' Many of the particulars therein emboditd tvere long since submitted to our reader, and we shall not attempt to print the document, hut glean from it the most interesting facts as fol fol-lowsr - lowsr fol-lowsr - - ' - The Populatiott of the United States has increased 337 f er cent, during the last fifty )"eare. '' In yiat; same period the population of trance 'lias increased - but about' 30 per cent; The population of the Ujiited Sfales ia how increasing at the rate of about three percent, per annum, While thatbf all Europe ( we inter trom the secretary s partial statis statistics) - tics) statistics) is increasing at about the rate" of One per cent, per annum. ; "'V ' .'." -Immiffration ms not swelled onf popula tion to- any sucb eXtCnl 1 as has generally been supposed 1 he census returns indi cate that, of our twenty-four millions of peo- pie, only two "millions and a quarter, or less than ten per cent., were born in Europe or, in round numbers, one million in Ireland, half a : million in Germany, a quarter of a million hi .hngiand,' one hundred thousand in Scotland and ' Wales, ! half' as many in France, one hundred and fifty thousand in Canada, and One hundred thousand in all other countries.

When it is set on the side of the fire to boil. ' ' , . Q. Why docs a kettle sing more when it i a set on the side of the fire, than, when it is set in the midstof the fire? A.

Why does a kettle sing when the boiling water begin to cool again? 1 - A. Because the upper burlace cools first; and the steam (which rjsca from the locr part of the kettle! is again entangled, and escapes by fits and starts. Q. W hy does boiling water, swell? A.

Q. Why does the water of a kettle run out of the spout when it boils? - I : . A. .

' p$( . What causes the rattling noise oof-j ten made by the lid of a saucepan or bmler? i A- The steam (seeking to escape) forces up the lid of the boiler, and the weight of the lid carries it back again; this beinr done frequently produces a rattling noise. ' u. it tlie steam couid not hit uo the hd of the boiler, how would it escape? ! . .A. it tne lid ntted so tu'luly, that the steam could not raise it up, the boiler would burst into trarmeuts. and the consequences mijrht be fatal. ','"" """" : Q. ' When steam pours out from the spout of a kettle, tha steam begins apparently half, an inch: oil' tlie spout; why does it not begin close to the spout?, , A.
