Hatsl,,nc of FISHES.


Artificial Matching is likely 10 become an extensive
branch of business The Matching of chickens By steam
is one OF the trumphs of utiIitafian philosophy
The Matching of fish by artificial methods is likely to
be added TO the discoveries in our day and generation.
At one OF the late sessions of the Paris Academy of
Sciences, Mr.. Coste took occasion to remark TO the
society that he had succeeded in Matching salmon and
trout from eggs brought from distance. He exhibit.
ed glass globe, half filled with water, with bed of
sand at the bottom. multitude of redsh, half-trans
parent creatures, darling with extreme vivaeity
from one side OF the bowl to the other. Each one
was about as big as grain of hemp seed Two al
most lmpercepbe black points seemed 10 be the eyes,
and slight, though remarkably active excrescence,
the tail
The eggs from which these embryo salmon were
produced were sent to the College de France from Null
hansen, where they packed, if the expression
may be allowed by the engineers of the Rhone Canal
They were placed in tin box, wrapped up in mass
OF moist aquatic plants, and sent by diligence. M.
Cose received them forty hours after they taken
from the waters of the Rhone. and immediate placed
them in basin, through which he caused steady
current of water to flow. A few days after their i'm
merslon they gave birth to numerous hearty young
salmon their health good as 10 enable them
to pay visit to the Academy very early period of
their existence. The success OF the experiment seems
10 renderlt probable that salmon may be acclmated,
and learn 10 live in reservoirs of fresh water.

Annexation of the Sandwich IsIands


A late Washington letter to the Journal of CON-
says:
1t has been thought possible that difficulty would
arise between the United States and France in refer
ence to the Sandwich Islands. Should France persist
in the demands she made on those Islands. and en-.
force them she has threatened 10 d. it will create,
of course, question of very serious importance be-
tween that government and this
Last July, Executive Government notified the
French Government, in special dispatch, that this
Government would not permit without interference,
any attempt on the part of France to take possession
OF the Sandwich Islands, or to establish her power
them. The message of the President of the Uni
ted States, al the commencement of the late session,
also shows that is the fixed and sary policy of
this country 10 preserve the independence Of the Sand
witch Islands,
We also learn from late and authentic sources that
government has given assurances 10 the author-
ties of the Sandwich Islands that their Independence
shall be preserved.
learn from naval officers who have visited the Is
lands very often. and have had opportunities io notice
their present condition in comparison with what it was
ten twenty years ago. that The native population OF
the Island is fast and steadily decreasing
The result must be the final extinction of the abo-
rgnal race, and the substitution for it of the Anglo
American The settlement of the Pacific coast
by Americans, and the more frequent commercial in.
ercourse with Asia, which is TO result from it, will
pede the settlement of the Sandwich Islands by ouI
people. A line of steamers is already established oil
projected between San Francisco and these Islands.
Ii is well known that the authorities of the Islands
wish to make the people of the United States thei
heirs and and that their sovereign has
invested with power to place the Islands under the
protection of the United States in of any emer
gency.
Under these circumstances, it appears certain thai
the Sandwich Islands must ultimately, and at dis
tant day, become inhabited by people OF the United
States, and be possessed and governed by them,
be under the protection OF the United States Govern
ment.
That they will also be politically connected in some
form with the u s. is very probable as their disancs
from San Frnncisco is only twenty hundred miles
and as they in the track of trade TO Asia, ant
on the route of our whaling vessels.
Whether France will undertake to expedite this re
suit by enforcing her threats in regard these islands
! is an interesting question.

WATER MELON SUGAR.-The Chicago Tribune, in
acknowledging the receipt of small quantity of gen
uine saccharine matter extracted from the water mel
on, says:
eve have seen and used sugar made from cane,
maple corn and beets, but we have any so
pure and deciously sweet this. To our mind it is
equal to the best quality of honey. The water melon
possesses a great amount of sacrharine matter in a
very pure sate and we do not see why making sugar
from it could not be made profitable business in
climate adapted 10 IL"
If the climate of Illinois will perfect the melon, SO
to- make melon sugar profitable, what will eli
do where the melon grows in its greatest album
dance and perfection? We last season tried the expe
rment of making syrup from water melons. and sue
ceeded in making better article than saw
brought from the Yves Indies or New Orleans. Twelve
to fourteen gallons of juice will make gallon of pure
keeping syrup. None of our small farmers need &C
without the luxury of saceetening when the are
within the reach of every preparing his own su
and syrup. Select dead ripe melons, cut them in
two, and scrape the inside into boiler MASKING al
the pulp; when the boiler is full start the fire. and as
the mass begins to boil, skim out the seeds and resi-
due OF pulp; boil until the juice becomes of prope
consistency for keeping, when it may be cooled ant
put away in kegs casks for use We should hk'
some of our readers TO try the experiment. how much
syrup can be made from an acre of melons. We be
eve that it will pay better than Corn or Cotton.

WALKING SIXTY Consecutive HouRs-The extra
ordinary, and we believe, unparalleled feat of walk
ing sixty hours without sleep rest, has been
complished successfully by Capt. Thompson, who fin
ished the last hour at o'clock, p. NJ, on Tuesday
last. Capt. I. began to walk on Saturday morning
last at o'clock and continued patiently and perse
veringy in the performance of this prodigous feat
until it was completed Towards the close OF his
undertaking, fatigue aud exhaustion began to tell
fearfully upon him. He staggered to and fro like
drunken man, and could hardly lift one leg after
other. Still with indomitable perseverance, he con-
tnued to walk, until the firing of the o'clock gun
on Jackson Square, announced the termination of his
gigantic efforts when the tension of his overwrought
frame gave way at once, and he fell utterly proStra
ed in the arms of his attendants. We understand
that Capt. T. is suffering fever-no unexpected re-
suit of so terrible violation of the laws of nature.
