An air spring Tor reilroad cars has been in
troduced, which appears to possess great mer-
it. II consists of a cylinder, or rough cup in
an inverted position, provided with flexible
but air tight partition or diaphragm across its
under side, and against the under surface of
this a suitably rounded mass of wood is al
lowed to press. The air is compressed in the
cup by the aid of a small hand pump, and the
irregularities OF the track cause tile dia-
phragm to be bent alternately inward and out
ward, so that the whole weight is supported
on TIE cushion of air, yet without allowing
tile least possible chance for the escape of the
fluid. The diaphragm is composed Of several
thicknesses OF India rubber, stout canvas, and
leather. The cast iron cup is lined on its top
and sides with tin, to prevent the possible es.
cape Of air through It's pores Boston Post.

A MONSTER APPLE. Daniel Denny, Esq,
President of the Hamilton Bank, received last
week, via San Francisco, by Wells, Fargo &
Coz Express from his friend, A. ID. Barnard,
OF Corvallis, Oregon Territory, an apple Of
monstrous Dimensions. 1t was Is inches in
circumference, and weighed 2 pounds 10
ounces. 1t is probably one of the largest, it
not the largest, apple ever raised, The tree
from which it was taken was set out where il
iruited in lS4l, it being then two years old
from the seed.' In 1855 it bore apples. In
1886 it had 90 apples, II of which weighed
upwards OF two pounds each.--The trunk Of
the tree is only IL inches in diameter in It's
largest part, and the fruit is 0 inches, thus
making the fruit ? inches larger in diameter
than sHe tree itself The apple was pack cd in
sealed tin can, but when opened last week
u was found in a state OF partial decay, but
the form was well preserved. II was q great
curiosity. Boston TrGnscripE

HARD ScRlBBLE.-A story is going the
rounds concerning letter OF Choates, which
was mistaken by Dutch carpenter for new
tangled but impraeticable cornice PATTERN
10 any one who has had to read the "scrawl-
ing generalities" which Choate uses for writ
ing, this will not seem very incredible. The
Boston Telegraph reyives a story told about
the writing of j. W. Brooks, the great rail-
road manager of Michigan. He had written
letter to man on the Central route, notify,
ing him that he must remove a barn, which
in some manner incommoded the road, under
penalty of prosecution. The threatened in.
dividual was unable to read any part of the
letter but the signature, but took it 10 be a
free pass on the road, and used it for couple
of years, none of the conductors being able to
dispute his Interpretation of the document.

1.-The similarity in the circumstances, in
themselves so remarkable, and in the occupa-

being the only known observers of the phe-
nomenon alluded to, coincidence OF no or
binary interest. Both were surrounded by
snow md ice, and reduced to extremites for
want of food; both were laboring with an al
most unparalleled devotion and disinterested-
ness for the promotion of geographical know
ledge; and though many thousand miles
apart their separate enthusiasts were mir

A CHILD SAVED By DoG.-On Wednes
day last, a remarkable instance of the sagaci,
ty of dog took place in this town. A little
girl about seven years old, the daugher of Mr.
James Gay, was standing in the middle Of the
road, opposite his residence, when person
came driving along at rapid rate in a sleigh.
A dog belonging to tho person in the sleigh
was raining beside it, when the sagacious
animal seeing the child just in the track,
jumped forward and in an instant dragged the
child out of the way, allowing the team to
pass it without injury. The act was witness.
ed by a number Of persons in the neighbor-
hood but the owner OF the sleigh drove on,
and it is not known who he is. There is not
the slightest doubt that the dog saved the life
OF the child Guelph Canada Mercury.
