A DiverN Ailreiituro.
I dove once in Mobile bay, whore I
put over three hundred chain nmler an
ironclad. Tlie greatest annoyanco that
we had there v.a slmrks. They didn't
hardly d.ire tackle us because with our
armor we Io!cod more like scare-crows
than anything else. They would come
sailing alon?;. ami gradually swim up
towards us with their jrreat bi; mouth
wide ojien, but when within a few feet
of us they would stop and lay there
llappin' the r fins and looking, it seem
ed to me, like the very devil himself.
Finally we devised a way to scare them
olT that never failed to frighten them
so that th:y would stay away an hour
or longer before they dare to come
back. The armor that we wear is air
tight, you know. Our jacket sleeves
were fastened around our wrists with
an elastie, so that the air could not es
cape. L'y running my linger under the
f,!r.?vc of mv iacket I could let the air
; out, and as it rushed into the water it
j would make a sort of hissing noise, and
a volume ot bubbles would shoot up
So, whenever those infernal sharks
would come prowling around me I
would let a lot of air out and send a
fclivam of bubbles into the shark's face
with a hissing noise like steam from a
gauge-cock. '1 he way that those sharks
would go scooting oil was funny to be
hold. The Ihinihi? Table.
On IJonaparte's first nomination to
the army of Italy, says Lord IIol and,
theDirectory is said to have been unable
or unwilling to supply him the money
necessary for a journey of hiniselt and
his aid-de camp to the spot, and their
suitsib'e appearance at the headquarters
of a considerable force. In this emer
gency, after collecting all that his re
sources, the contributions of his friends
and his credit cou'd muster, he is re
pored to have applied to Junot.a young
officer w hom he knew to be in the habit
of frequenting the framing-tables, and
confiding to him ail the money he had
been able to raise, no great sum, to have
dire, ted him tilher to lose the whole or
increase it to a considerable amount be
fore moi- ing, sis on his success that
right at -play depended the possibility
of hii taking the command of the army,
and appointing Junot aid-de-canip.
Junot. after succeeding beyond his ex
pectations in w inning to an amount in
his judgment equal to the exigencies
of his employer, hastened to inform
den. Lonnpurlc, but he was not satis
fi d; and, resolved to try his fortune to
the iduiost, bade his friend r turn, risk
all he had gained, and not to quit the
table tib he had lost the last penny, or
doubled the sum he had brought back
to him. In this, also, after some fluc
tuation, the chances favored him, anil
Napoleon set out to his head quarters,
furnished with su'liu nt to take up the
command with no litthj personal splen
dor and eclat. '1 he ; bove anecdote

Electric l.ilit.
The New York Tribune looking to
ward the application of the electric light
iu this country, says: It appears to be
difficult to arrive at the cost of using
the electric light, figures of estimates in
different experiments varying consider
ably. In many manufacturing estab
lishments the cost of the power to drive
a magneto-electric machine would
scarcely ie n -t, as oniy two or uiree
horse-power, at the most, would be re
quired. The cost of the carbons is said
t be less than live cents per hour per
lamp, i n the Jab'ochoff plan; another
estimate is about twice as much, but
perhaps refers to two lamps instead of
one. An electric light which does not.
according to accounts, appear to be
constructed on the Jablochoff plan,
tested in practical service at LaCha-
palle, France, cos', including motive
power for the machine, about 12 cents
per lamp per hour. Machines capable
of running three lamps, cost less than
SoOO, and perha s that sum cou'd be
made to cover all the first outlay. The
wear and tear of the machine is not es
timated. A careful study of the figures
thus far furnished by electricity, in
France, at about two-fifths the cost of
gas; and as the price ot gas in most
American cities exceeds the price in
Europe, it seems protmble that a similar
estimate of the comparative cost of
electric illumination for this country
would fairly apply.
Cause of .Mill 1 ires.
A correspondent of the London, Eng.,
Miller wri es as follows concerning tires
in Hour mills: "1 have been for more
than 30 years connected with the trade,
and iu that time it has been my misfor-
.unetobe once burned out of a situa
tion. I have a'so seen and known many
mill fires, the majority of which have
t ken place in the night, ami most of
those after tire mill had shut down sev
eral hours, in ny of them breaking out
of a Sunday morning, and even as late
as the evening, or alter midnight in
other w.-rus, on Monday morning. The
cause of the long interval I attribute to
the sin. ddcring of dust around some
hot bearing till it became a body of fire
andcharred wood, when aslightdraught
has produced a flame, and before being
noticed was spread too far to be stopped
till the mill and its contents have been
reduced to a heap of ruins. In most
cases this might have been prevented
by it being matte the duty of one man
to go round and look to all bearings be
fore locking up the place for the night."
Flint Cnce Was Sponsre.
You never would think it, would you"?
bnt I'm told that I'int really is nothing
more nor less than sponge turned to
stone. Once the sponge grew at the
bottom of the sea, as other sponges
grow now;-but that was ages and ages
ago, and since then the sponge, turned
to Hint, has lain covered by rocks and
earth of many kinds piled thick above
it. Seen with a microscope, Hint shows
the make o sponge in its fibers; and
sometimes vou can see, bedded in- it,
the shelr of the tiny creature son which
the sponge had fed. Now and then, in
side a flint, will be found biti of the
sponge not yet changed.
That last proof settles it: but I must
say it's hard to believe; hard as the flint,
almoiit. -'?. AtV.oica.
Three Spiders.
Another enemy to my friends the
birds! This time it's a spider. He
lives near the Amazon lliver, they tell
me, builds a strong web across a deep
hole in a tree, and waits at the back of
the hole until a bird or lizard is caught
in the meshes. Then' out he pounces,
and kills his prey by poison. And yet
this dieadful erea'nre has a body only
an inch and a half in length!
Then there's a spider named Kara
Kurt, who lives in Tuike-tan; and
tho igh he i no bigger than a finger
nail, he can jump several feet. 116
hides in the grass, ami his bite is poi
sonous; but I'm glad to say he doesn't
kill birds.
In the same country is a long-legged
spider, who hvs long hair and a body as
big as a hen's egg. When he wa ks he
Seems as large as a man's double fists.
What a fellow to meet on a narrow
pathway! 1 think most people would
be polite enough to 1 t him have the
whole of the walk. Little Miss Muffet
would have been scared out of her
senses if such a hiue spider had "sat
down beside her." HI. Xicl.oLis.
Overloading the Slor.iflcSi.
"Youth is the time," remarks an em
inent physician, "when gluttonous hab
its are acquired."' And though he
thinks that it is not always wise to em
ploy ridicule in educating young peo
ple, yet he would use it to make glut
tony appear as disgraceful as it really
R Kxcess in eating is, however, no
laughing matter, for it is a vice.
Among the Jews, gluttony was classed
with drunkenness: and the son who be
came an habitual glutton, or drunkard,
was stoned to death. The Israelites
were punished when they became glut
tons on the occasion of the miraculous
fall of quails. "Ihe Lord smote the
people with a very great plague." The
place where the dead were buried was
called, as if to mark the punishment of
sin against natural law, Kibroth-lla aa
vah "the graves of the gre dy."'
Hoys and girls who gorge themselves,
lay the foundation for indigestion and
dyspepsia in alter years. And, what is
a greater cause than these physical evils,
they form the habit of self indulgence.
The young sh uld be taught that, while
overloading the stomach is a physical
sin, which nature will punish, temper
ance in eating enha ces the enjoyment
of food.
Suicidal Stut sties.
There were reported to the Health
li.tard of the city of New York 1 iSsu
ieidi s for 177 in that city. The report
con,' imii some interesting facts, far
the larger number of p"rsns who took
their lives were in the prime of man
hood or womanhood, between the ages
-f 20 and 4o. Only two persons under
20 welcomed self-destruction; the peri
od between "0 and 40 was the most pro
lifle of suicides.
In opposition to the renerally re
ceived opinion that suicide is more
common among females than males, the
statist cs show tint although the popu
lation of the city is nearly equally male
and female; yet 15 males and only 25
females commi ted suicide a ratio of
live to one.
As to the modes of self destruction,
males resorted to shooting or cutting
but only 2 females. Among the pois
oned the males were 30, the females 11;
among the drowned the males we. e 0,
t! e females 4; and among those who
plunged from heights the males were I,
the females 4, showing that the disposi
tion to leap from the troubles of life in
to the unknown se zed upon women in
far g. eater proportion than upon men.
A Skeleton in Every Hense.
The origin or the above is briehy
this. A young student of Naples be
lieving himself dying, and fearing the
news of Ids tie -t It would break the heart
of his widowed mother, who passion
ately loved him alter much reflection,
adopted the following device: lie
wrote to his mother, telling her he was
ill, and that a soothsayer had foretold
tie could not recover, until he won a
shirt made by a woman who had no
t ouble in fact, who was perfectly
happy and contented. The w dow, in
her simplicity, thought that attaining
such a garment wa-t an easy task; but
after making inquiries from her friends,
found that each had a seer, t care. At
last she heard, from several sources, of
a lady surrounded by every comfort,
and possessing a husband who seemed
to think of nothing but making her
happy. The old lady hastened to tier,
and made known Iter wish; the lady
made no reply, but took her visitor into
an adjoining closet, where she was
horror-struck at beholding a skeleton
suspended from a beam. "For twenty
years have I been married," said the
lady. "1 was forced to inarry my hus
band while loving another; shortly
after our wedd ng, my former lover
came one evening to Lid me farewell
forever; my husband surprised us while
together and instantly stabbed him
whom he unjustly suspected to the
heart; lie then caused his skeleton to
be preserved, and every day he makes
me visit it. ihe wi low concluded
that no one was without trouble, and
as her son had desired, she became re
conciled to the idea of his loss. Every
one has his troubles there is a skeleton
in every house.
A few days ago a teacher in one of the
primary schools was instructing nei
lowest class in natural hist ry. Her
subject was th cat and its habits, and
as she proceeded with her remarks she
was charmed with the rapt attention of
her diminutive auditors. After her
talk was over she proceeded to ques ion
her scholars, in order to see how much
they knew of the subject under consid
eration, and many were the answers
showing that she had not wasted her
effort that she r ceived. At last she
said to the smallest of her boys, a litt'e
mite with chubby cheeks and glistening
eyes: "Johnny, what does your mother
keep a cat for?" "To lay kittens," was
the reply. The question, for that session
came to an abrupt end.
At all times regularity in feeding
horses is necessary, as disease will often
accrue from suffering the animal to go
too long without his small stomach,
which soon becomes empty, being idled.
Staggers often arise from this irregu
larity, which causes V e animal to dis
tend his stomach beyond ordinary, from
the avidity and vo: achy with which he
eats his food not allowing time to chew
it
A rich story is told of a member of
the New Ilamphshire State Hoard of
Agriculture, who when visiting Uoston
hal his attention attracted to a card in
a window marked "Free lunch for pa
trons here." Heing an enthusiastic
member of the Order of "Patrons of
Husbandry," and thinking that a ienny
saved was as good as a penny earned,
he thought he would avail himself of
the hospitality so generously offered by
soir unknown "brother." Entering
the room, rMch contained a suspicious
arrij of black bottles, he marched up
to the counter and said to the toddy
mixer, "I am a Tatron, and I'll take a
lunch, if j'ou please." "A patron of
what?" asked the bar-keeper. "A Pa
tron of Husbandry," replied our worthy
member of the Agricultural lioard and
the Grange. "Patron of Husbandry be
d d!" said the bar-keeper, "this is a
rum shop, and we only furnish free
lunch to thosj who buy their drinks
here. What'll you have, sir?"' Our as
tonished and now disgusted member
turned on his heel and walked out, w ith
new ideas of this order of "Patrons."
Racing: W'itk the Cirls.
The Kirghiz Tartars have horseraces,
from twenty to thirty miles in length.
The w inner, who accomplices the dis
tance at the rate of eighteen or twenty
miles an hour, sometimes receives eight
or nine horses as a prize. Occasionally,
when there is aholid iy, the girls mount
the swiftest horses they can borrow,
and challenge the men to a race.
A girl gallo; s across the steppe -prairie,
we would call it, pursued by a
.horseman- who strives to place his hand
round her waist, she doing her best to
prevent him by hitting him across the
head with a whip. If the man does not
succeed, he is still more unfortunate.
For she gailops round him, and so bela
bors him that not unirequently he falls
from his horse, and is saluted by the
hootings a-;d laughter of the crowd,
lint if he places his hand round her
waist, she surrenders at once, and they
ride off together.
Among the Turkomans the question
as to which is to marry the prettiest
girl is often decided in a similar man
ner. The youi'g lady, mounted on the
swiftest horse, and al oweda good start,
is followed by her admirers. She avoids
those whom she disl kes, and manages
to throw herself in the way of the fa
vored lover. The moment she is caught,
she becomes the wife of the captor, and
goes with hiin to his tent.
How Fast foral (.rows.
A remarkable piece of coral, taken off
the submarine cable near Fort Darwin,
is spoken of iu a Melbourne paper. It
is of the ordinary species, about five
inches in height, six inches in diameter
at the top and about two inches at the
base. It is perfectly formed, and the
base bears the distinct impression of the
cable and a few fibres of the coil rope
used as a sheath for the telegraphic
wire st ill adhering to it. As the cable
has been laid only tour years, it is evi
dent that this specimen must have
grown to its present height in that time,
which seems to prove that the growth
of coral is much more rapid than has
been supposed.
This is very interesting, as showing
the age of coral reefs, and even of some
islands, by ; c'-ual measurement. Five
years ago, Capt. McGregor, of the
steamer Kalauea. foun li ew coral, over
four inches long, on a buoy anchor
which h.d been sunk only two years.
If the coral reefs l row more than eight
een feet in a century, the enormous age
claimed for them by some geologists
mu.st be more fancy than fact.
5; ii dicatrs.
The word siudictitc is so often used in
the newspapers that it may be interest
ing to our readers to know something'
of its history. S nd-'c is of Greek ori
gin, and means an ag. . nt, manager or
director, ecordiug to Worcester, it Is
applied particularly to the manager of
a corporal L n. The use of the tern
P!,ni(l;ro!r in i:s original sense of a coun
cil, was id ways uncommon, and has
long been discontinued.
"W hen the v. ord reappeared in com
mon speech after a great many years of
disuse, it had acquired a new meaning,
which it has since retained, in the
most gener 1 sense, it signified simply
an association t f any sort and for any
purpose. At one time it threatened to
b come slang. When three or four edi
tors from di.T, rent parts of the country
met togeth r to agree upon a concerted
moveim n m politics, they were called,
by some writers, a syndicate. Tho
Washington correspondtnts used to
form syndicates, so-cal ed, for various
purposes. llie word has now been
dropped as a slang term, however.
Although it is not a necessary word.
if is a useful one, ami has come to have
a special meaning in connection with
financial operations. When financial
writers speak of "the syndicate," they
refer to an assoc ation not of persons,
but of banking firms, who have a joint
contr. cf with the Treasury Department,
which gives them exclusive rights in
the purchase and sale of our new gov
ernment bonds.
These firms do business both in the
Uni ed Mates and in Europe. Each
filming the right to buy the new bonds
from the Secre ary of the Treasury at a
specified price. All other poisons must
buy from one of these firms. It is not
known what is the inn r organization
of the syndicate, or what rules are ob
served between t':e firm composing it.
So far as the irovenrnent is connected
wi'hit the o l'y m-ftter of importance
is. that Ui ' ass ici u;,l bankers shall sell
the bonds, for there is no chance of lo;is

A novel plan foi freeing grain from
vermin is recommended in a foreign
journal. It advises putting a living
crau into me gram neap so that it can
not get out. The worms attack the
crab and enter the shell. In twenty
four hours, the body may be taken out
and the shell will be found to contain
worms instead of crabs' meat. The
entire crab is thrown into the tire and a
fresh one put in the grain until the ver
min are eradicated.
