A New WEATHER SIGNAL.-We see by an
exchange that it is proposed to establish, by
means of cannons and telegraphs, signals
during the harvest season to announce the
approach of storms. These signals can be
SO arranged as to declare the direction and
character of the coming storm, and to no.
tify farmers who are cutting crops. 1t is
estimated that more than one-fourth of the
grain and hay crops of this country are an
nually injured by storms during the har-
vest, and that the damage to the crops in
Europe and America during the last season,
which might have been saved at a small
cost, amounted to the enormous aggregate
Of $5OO,OO0,000. The plan proposed for the
storm signals is as simple as it is practical
BILE, and can be made available along the
coast for the benefit of commerce by warn
ing ships when to seek places of safety, ant
prepare for coming storms.

WEIGHING CoAL.-Having already call
ed the attention of the City Council to the
necessity Of passing an ordinance requir-
ing that coal shall be sold by weight, and
declaring forfeited to the purchaser all sold
In any other manner, we thought to let
the matter rest and see which one of our
Democratic members would introduce the
law so much needed to save the poor from
being defrauded. We make room however
to correspondent, a fellow-sufferer, per-
haps:
DEAR SPIvINs IL am glad you called the
attention of our Council to a subject of
much interest to all citizens, viz: The
weighing of coal. 1t is most certainly
true, as you say, we pay for thirty three
bushels, and get thirty. I will venture to
say that in nine loads out of ten sold for
thirty three bushels, they would not meas
ure or weigh thirty bushels. We don't get
the measure. Let it be weighed Why
won't the Council say by ordinance thai
all coal sold shall be weighed. There is a
statute on the subject fixing the standard
weight of coal at 80 pounds to the bushel.
Touch them again on that suhject-touch
them often, and perhaps they will hear.
Yours,
Y. S.

An Electric Safety Lock.

MN. DIVE and Lemaire, two young mechani-
clans N Paris, have invented q new kind OF
safety lock. The key opens the lock without
ringing the bells; but II a false key be iatrc-
duced, n Jimmy" or any piece Of metal, the
bells are set going as long as the piece is ap-
piled. This is affected by the disposal OF The
several 1umblers with regard TO a small lever
which completes the battery circuit when ele-
waited. When all the tumblers are lifted sim
ultaneously, as by the master-key, the lever is
not raised and no alarm is given; but if one, or
two, three be lifted, the alarm lever is raised
and the ringing takes place. II the burglar,

as the metal is attempted to be

lock can be applied TO all doors or fastenings
without distinction. The acting agent Of alarm
is feeble current Of electricity, produced by a
small battery of two elements. The pile used is

Treating Bees with Cold Water.

The American Bee Journal,sin referring TO an
instance Of the kind, where a swarm of bees
recently settled upon the head of a horse stand
ing in front of a church and the owner, who

that all the difficulty could have been obviated
by the use Of cold water.
In such cases the Journal advises q prompt
application of few gallons Of cold water
sprinkled from a common watering pot d.
rectly on the clustering bees. 1t remarks that a
little knowledge, presence of mind and calm
ness would have been serviceable here; for
nothing is more apt to rouse the i'll temper of
bees than to come in contact with q sweaty
horse; and horse Is most helpless animal
when attacked by bees.
