FLYING MACHINES. We really believe
that something will be done at last in the way of
flying machines. AS as men get TO navi.
eating the air, there will be some fun in the
world. Indeed, is it not in accordance with the
TACT that the land is filling mp, and that we shall
soon have no wilderness, where man may retire
to rumnate To atone for that, we may have
me great expanse above US so that most men may
be able to launch forth upon the atmosphere, land
wander free. Instead OF riding or walking out,
as now practsed, they will "tdke an airing" by
paying visit to the clouds. In bad weather in
vallds will spend day or week above the

WHERE is COLL FOUND? Notwithstanding
that gold has been the most valuable among ali
metals since the days of Midas, and supposed to
be the most scarce, it is nevertheless, TACT that
more gold deposites have been found than silver
mines, with this difference, that gold is found
generally in small parcels and silver in heavy
masses Since the discovery of extensive gold
depostes in California, the public mind in this
country and in Europe has been directed to the
subject OF this peculiar of precious metals l. is
admitted that the greatest quaGtity of gold is
found In countries OF primitive formation and the
sources from which it has been obtained are the
alluvial soils and the beds OF rivers These are
the deposites from the washings of mountains set
ting near the surface, and requiring but little
digging. California, the coast of Guinea, Next
co, Peru, the Ural mountains, Siberia, Sumatra.
ana Borneo, are the principal known sources of
supply. Considerable sperodic supplies have
been afforded from Georgia, Virginia, and North
Carolina, Hungary, Ireland and Wales; but the
most certain deposites appear to be In the Ural
mountains and Siberia, which last year produced
$4,000 900 in gold, In the mountains iii found
IN masses. One lump found in 1896, weighed 27
lbs, and in 1926 another was discovered, weigh
Ing 70 lbs; but in 1912 mass OF gold was blown
out which weighed 90 lbs In Borneo, large
Quantities OF gold dust are found. In 1872,
there were $4,000 Chinese employed on the
west side OF the Island OF Borneo, and thew raised
annually about i've millions dollars OF the article
1t is evident, however, that California is the most
prolific source yet discovered of the precious
metals, because 1t Is not confined to particular
spot, out covers an extent Of country for several
hundred miles, and consequently millions OF peo-
pie may be employed in picking up gold without
interfering with each other What effect these
gold discoveries may have on the value of coin,
remains TO be seen.-N Y. Star

SOWING GRASS SEED IN MARCH. When
the land is well prepared the previous fall March,
as soon as the ground is bare, is very favorable
time tor sowing grass seed Those farmers who
sow herdsgrass and red top late in August and
early in September, omit sowing clover till
March, as it is liable to be winter killed if sown
at the time of the other grass.
Some sow nearly all their grass seed in March,
preterring it to all other seasons. But when the
land is ready for sowing late In summer, or early
in tall, that season is preferable, the grass will
get start and yield larger crop than if sown
In March. Yet when the land is not prepared
till late in autumn the most favorable tine for
sowing is March. If the land be in good con-
ditIon, the crop will be pretty good. We have
sown seed in the middle OF March and had crop
SO large that some Of it lodged. When sown at
this season, no narrowing, brushing, or raking
in OF the seed is necessary; and these operations
on wet land would be worse than useless. The
seed falling on the wet soil is sure to vegetate
before it is warm enough to dry the surface OF
the soil.
We have been astonshed at the amount of wa
ter the seed would sustain, not only without any
injury, but with the best success. We have
sown grass seed In March, when there were pud-
dies OF water that we could not drain off, as the
ground was frozen. We sowed seed on the wa
ter, supposing that it would vegetate after the
water disappeared; and it has often vegetated the
earliest and best when sown on the water, which
shows the hardy nature of the seed as well as of
the grass.-.Neto England Farmer

LYNCH LAW IN MIDDLEsEx The Boston
Times relates the particulars OF disgracelul
scene which was recently enacted in Bedford, in
this State Mr. George Wilson having made
himself obnoxious to the citizens OF that place,
was hunted from his house at night, caught and
taken to tavern, where large number of peo-
pie had assembled, and there under threat of
being tarred and teathered, was forced to agree
TO leave town within twenty-four hours; make
satisfactory reparation TO person whom he had
injured; and treat the whole company present, to
hot supper! To these exactions he submitted
and paid $lS for the supper.
Several OF the persons engaged in the affair
were indicted, and the case was called up at the
Criminal Court in East Cambridge on Friday
The detendents pleaded guilty TO a charge of riot
and offered, in exenuation of the offence, to pro-
cure evidence of the guilt OF Wilson, and of the
morality of their intentions; but in the opinion of
the Court, this offered justification for the out
rage, and they were each fined $50 and costs.

My dear friend" answered the pro-
fessor, Eve must never amuse ourselves

rich. and YOU may give yourself a much
greater pleasure by means OF this poor

then we will hide ourselves"
