worked are yielding beyond anticipation,
and there is scarce doubt but what the
Ontonagon section will prove to be among
the richest in minerals on the American
shore.
The valley on the river and country ad'
jacent to the mines is favorable for farm
ing, the soil rich and we'll timbered, and
the climate milder than at any other point
on Lake Superior. Potatoes, and vegeta'
bles generally yield largely. Oats and
grass do well, and corn and spring and

The SPANISH BULL CIRCUS. The
amusements in the Spanish bull circus at
Madrid, on the 25th ultimo, were Of more
than usual brutal character. The Queen
mother and her family, together with the
King, were present. The first fight was
between a wolf and several dogs; the dogs
soon finished him. Next by ena and sew
eral dogs occupied tine arena. Then huge
bear encountered no less than thirteen dogs;
the bear came off victorious The last
scene was that which attracted the crowded
audience, viz: a contest between lion and
bull:
'sThe first was one of the finest Of his
species. No sooner was he loosed into the
arena and espied the bull than he made
towards him at once, and attacked him with
fury. But he only succeeded in seizing the
tail of his horned foe, by which he clung
on with his claws. The bull, thus attacked
from behind, was unable 10 defend himself
by his horns; but presently, the lion having
bitten his tail off close 10 The rump. the hnll
turned on him, and, frantic with pain,
charged with tremendous fury, tossing the
lion, notwithstanding his size, into the air,
which so damped the pluck of the latter
that it became at once clear on which side
the victory would be declared. The lion
sat down detected and moaning with pain,
while the bull charged him several times in
succession, instiguted by the crowd outside

spectators. The lion was killed."

ApDIes for Human Food.

The Importance of apples as food, has
not hitherto been sufficiently estimated in

Of vegetable acids, abstractive substances,

ty, of refrigerents, tonics, antiseptics; and,
when freely used at the season of ripeness,
by rural laborers and others, they prevent
debility, strengthen digestion, correct the
putrefactive tendencies Of nitrogenous food,
avert scurvy, and probably maintain and
strengthen the powers of productive labor.
"The operators of Cornwall, IN England,
consider ripe apples equal 10 bread, and
better than potatoes. In the year 1901,
a year of scarcity, apples, instead Of being
converted into cider, we're sold TO the poor,
and the loborers asserted that they could
stand their work on baked apples without
meat; whereas potato diet required
either meat or fish,
The French and Germans use apples ex.
tensively; indeed it is rare that they sit
down in rural districts without them in some
shape or other, even at the best table,
The laborers and mechanics depend on
them, to very grea: extent, as articles of
food, and frequently dine on sliced apples
and bread. Stewed with rice, red cabbage,
carrots, or by themselves, with little su-
gar and milk, they make both a pleasant
and nutrious dish. If our friends will only
provide themselves with plenty of choice
fruit, we will venture to assert, that not one
man, women or child in fifty, would care
for animal flesh to eat. Who doubts, for a
moment, that many scrofulous and other
diseases are traoeable to flesh diet? 1t is

Extraordinary Murders in Austria.

A letter from Brunn, in Moravia, dated
the 23d ult gives the following account of
a trial for murder which has just taken
place there. A butcher named Smutay, of
the village OF Thoad, near Brunn, had been
for sometime the victim Of ill-weatmeHt
from his wife, who right or wrong, suspec.
ted him Of an intrigue with their servant.
One day, in her rage, she took up whip,
and struck him with it in the face. He
did not retaliate at The time, but resolved
on revenge. At night, when his wife wos
asleep, he armed himself with hatchet
and knife, and, going TO her bedside,
struck at her with the hatchet, but missed
her, and killed his youngest child, who was
lying by the side of its mother. He then
took the knife, and stabbed his wife repeat.
edy until she died. lrri,ated at having
killed one of his children by mistake, he
then resolved to destroyed the two others,
and commit suicide. Having committed
the four murders, he laid out the bodies,
lighted wax tapers, and sprinkled the bodies
with holy water. When at the point OF
destroying himself, he reflected that, by
endeavoring to evade human justice, he
should expose himself to eternal predtion,
and resolved 10 surrender himself to the
officers of the law. He fixed q crucifix on
his breast; and in the night walked to
Brunn, where he went TO magistrate and
made full confession Of his crime In
the trial his counsel attempted 10 show that
he was insane; but the attempt failed, and
he was condemned 10 DEATH GalignanTs

Flying Machine.

The New York Evening Post translates
fom the Choniqms de Paris, of August
1st., the following account Of the success
full flying machine:
The Press of Paris and the department
has been justly agita,ed by the many arti:
cles contained in an evening paper on a
new machine for navigating the air. The
explanatory letters of two different inven'
tors, NJ. Diego, of Salamanca, and M.
Thomas d'Arville, native of France,
have impaired new interest to this aston,
ishiDg invention.
All the Academies OF Science, and the
various Schools of Arts and Trades in Eu-
rope have been as vehemently moved as
the press, and pursue, at this moment,
with the gravest interest, the experiments
making both at Paris and Madrid.
Mr.. o'Arville made an experiment with
his machine, before several members Of
the Partisan press, and some dozen other
scientific gentlemen. After the company
had gathered, the account, giving the
names of the company who had gathered,
including all the leading journalists OF Pa
ris, goes on 10 saw
CAT five minutes past four, three persons
got out of cab, who proved to be N. PAr.

with the wings was placed on the top OF
the carriage in two oak wood boxes. AZ

vile proceeded to unpack his instrume ent,
The several pieces of which were adiusteded
in less than six minutes. He said to US
then, ,"Gentlemen, am about to make on

at the end of which he lad tied small
leaden weight; and in two minutes he was
three hundred feet above our heads.
Nothing could depict the astonishment,
or rather the terror, of all of US; then
shouts and braves broke forth, which were
absolutely frantic M. d'Arville, by the
aid of a speaking trumpet, then called te

more time in the descent than sheet o
paper would take, if thrown from a window

The space which M. dArville Travelled
over is compared in size to the Champ de
Mars, which is an oblong park on the south
side of the Seine, used for military reviews
and horse races. and contains more acre:

BY CHARLES p. sHIRAs.
No more we sing as they sang of old,
To the tones of the Lutte and Tyre,
For 10! we live in an Iron age
In the age of Steam and Fire!
The world is toe busy for dreaming,
And has grown too wise for War;
So, to-day, for the glory of Science,
Let US sing of the Railway Car!
The golden chariots of ancient Kings
Would dazzle the wondering eye,
And the heads Of a million slaves might bow
As the glittering toy rolled by;
But this is the CAR OF THE PEoPLE,
And before it shall bow all Kings
Be they warned when they hear the shrieking
Ofthe Dragon with iron wings!
The blood-stained Car of the Juggernaut,
Ger millions of necks hath rolled,
And itsPriests have cried, such triumph as ours
The world shall never behold
But wo! when this harnessed Dragon
Comes vomiting smoke and fire,
For the Priests with their Car and Idols,
Shall perish beneath his ire!
And wo to all who uphold the wrong
Love darkness rather than light
For Science hath opened a broad highway
For knowledge, and Truth, and Right,
And be sends forth his Car to gather b.
The people of many lands,
Until the uttermost nations
Are grasping each others hands!
And thus, when the people, as one, are Joined,
And each to his fellow is known,
Invention, and Art, and Skill shall work
At the bidding of Science alone,
And who can tell of the greatness
The world may hope for then.
For the faith that moveth mountains
Hath entered the souls of men!
Then sing no more, as they sang of old,
To the tones of the Lutte and Tyre,
But sound the praise of the Iron Age
Of the age of Steam and Fire,
And sing 10 the glory of Science
Exult in the downfall of War
And shout for the fiery Dragon,
As he flies with the Railway Car!
