INTERNATIONAL CODE OF S1aNALs.-The United States Treasury Department is considering the propriety of urging upon Congress at it's next session the importance of some general enactment in regard to the adoption by the merchants marine of the international code of signals now used by she merchant vessels of most foreign nations. This code is being publish 6 l by the Navy Department for use in the navy, and when completed will be on sale at it's cost ot publication, which will be less than $8 per volume. The system is very com- plete, and by the use of the books com munioation can be established as we'll be- tween vessels of nations speaking different languages as between those of the same nation. At present communication be- tween American vessels is very different. owing to several systems being in use, and it is almost impracticable for an American merchant vessel to communicate with & vessel of a nation speaking foreign lan- guage, or with vessels of the United States Navy, by which the new code has been adopted.

An Essential of Loveliness.-To be entirely beautiful the hair should be abundant and ustrous. This Is absolutely essential to complete lovelness The most regular features. the most bri liant com pexion and pearliest teeth fail of their due effect the hair be thin dry. or harsh. On the contrary the plainest face if it be but surmounted by luxu riant and slken tresses, is apt to impress the be- holder with a sense of actual beauty. That crown. ing ornament of her is happily within the reach of lovely woman and being discriminating as she Is lovely she long ago discovered that LYoNs kATH APRON was the sure means of securing 1t. No prepa ration for the Hair ever enjoyed the of its popu larlty, and wonder. since 1t reduces such grat flying results Applied to the waste and barren places of the scalp it fructifes and enriches them with 8 new and ample growth It Is not of course pIetended that it will do this if the capacity for production is extinct but long 1t remains that wonderful rehabltant will assnredly propagate the germ of the hair into life and activity.-(Com.)

To OBTAIN WATER FROM GREA.

To OBTAIN WATER FROM GREAT DEPTHS. apparatus has been recent Iy devised in Germanyior obtaining spec- linens of water at any desired depth of the ocean. A strong, heavy vessel. en. tirely closed and empty, has valve through which water may be admitted, but which IS only put in motion by means of powerful electro.magnets con- nected herewith. These magnets are also connected with wire which accom- panies the rope, by means of which the apparatus Is lowered from the hip. When the empty vessel, winch is in fact a piummst, has reached ihs required depth, an electric current is sent from the battery oE shipboard to the Coils be- low ; the magnetism thus generate cd opens the valves, and the vessel is filled and ready to be drawn up,

NOVEL METHOD OF PRoPELLING STREET CARs.-The latest novelty in the way of street car motive power IS now in operation in New Orleans. On a four wheel truck about half the length of an ordinary passenger car are boiler, a tank, and doublc-cylmder engine of seven inches stroke. The tank is filled with about three hundred gallons of water This water is heated at the depot in stationary and discharged into the tank at the beginning of each tr,p. In this manner enough steam IS provided to propel the car nine miles, and have sur- plus of power left at the end of the trip. One man performs the duties of engineer, brakeman, and conductor. There is no escape of steam, nor any noise beyond that ordinarily caused in running passenger car and trial of nearly three months has shown this new motor to be not only practicable, but much cheaper than horse power. The actual running expenses have been $l 4S per day.

POISONOUS EXPLANATIONS OF TREEs.- II. karstens, in communication to a German J ,urnal, "On the influence of the SO called Poisonous Shadows" states that during long residence in tropical America, he became we'll acquainted with the euphor5iaceous tree, Hippo mane Manzanilla L., and with the fact that the natives consider it so poisonous as to avoid going near it, asserting that merely resting under it's deep shade will produce serious sicknes, and in very sus- ctptlble persons even death. The pois- onous influences of this tree having been denled by various naturalists, es- pecially Jacquin, the author gathered some of the juice on the sea coast of Venezuela, near Laguayra. In short time he was seized with sensation of heat and swelling all over his body, es- pecially about the face. The next morn ing he Was unable to open his eyes, and their irritation was so great as to force him to pass several days of great pain iD dark room. On the third day the swelling began to diminish and the cuti- cle to scale of The hippomane has then juice which, ill dry atmosphere, evaporates from the moist bark and acts as an irritant poison to the skin and mucous membrane. It is stated by Jac- quin that he remained many hours in dose proximity to the tree without in- jury. but it was during Q storm, and doubtless the wind and water carried of the noxious vapor. Karste believes that the poisonous principle emanating from this species of spurge is nitrogen ous, and, probably, is substitution product o1 ammonia, analogous to trimethylamine.

THAT KNrFE.-" They say" that Wilkie Collins jackknife has now been found by Fort Wayne man. This knife has a history. Collins bought it and had his name engraved on it. He lost it al Tours, France. The finder committed murder with it. Collins chanced to be in attendance at tho trial, and recovered his knife. He lost it again at Bath, Eng land, and the finder committed suicide with it. Collins again recovered the knife, but lost it the third time. This time it has been found in Fort Wayne.
 The gentleman who picked it up is great admirer of the novelist, and wrote to him, receiving in reply letter detail
 ing the above cheerful facts. Probably when the knife has been lost and found q couple of times more, Collins will write novel founded on it's adventures.

TEA.-A good deal of misdirected ef- fort has been expended in endeavoring to introduce the ten culture in the Unl- ted States. The tea plant sa! good authority is very closely allied to the camelia, or iaponica, which thrives in the open air in the Southern States, and there is no reason why it shouli not do equally well there. But it would be i'm. possible to raise and prepare tea for the market here 80 as to compete with the imported article, on account of the scarcity and high price of labor Be. sides, there is great loss of land in tea culture until the plants attain their growth, which takes from three to five years. When the leaves are ready for picking this must be done by hand labor, and in China it requires eight days work of fifteen skillful hands to pick enough leaves to produce three hundred pounds of the dried tea. If the tea plant grew wild in profusion, it would be cheaper to buy the China product than to undertake to gather it here.

THE ARIZONA DIAMOND FIELD Ds.-We have information from an ind pendent source, SD particular and explicit as hardly to leave doubt of the true loca- tion of the diamond fields which have created SO much excitement in this city for the last few days. The diamond mines are situated in the southeast cor ner of Arizona Territory, south of lati tude 32 degrees east at point near to the boundaries of New Mexico and Sonora. Any one by taking map of recent date, can readily find the point where boundary lines of Arizona and New Mexico lntersect Mexico on the south. The country has several silver mines laid down, and Apaches are desig- mated as occupying the same district. The country is not surveyed. It is situ- ated at no great distance from the old southern trail cro sing the coun ry from Fort Yuma to Fl Paso. It is pretty certain that one or more parties are in this city who have brought up specimens of rlbi from that region, and whose operations are independent of the dia- mond adventurers who first brought in diamonds. We give this information as we have received it. We have not much reason to doubt but the true locality has been substantially given in this parA- graph. If that is the diamond territory, we do not think half dozen men will he able to gobble it up, or to keep every body else ont of it. But we advise no body to go there. The diamond hunters of South Africa had hard luck. Hardly more than a dozen gained anything at Ill adequate as compensation fer the risks and sufferings encountered. 1fany extensive diamond fields are discovered it will be very difficult to prevent as free competition as was established in South Africa. There is not sufficient evidence within reach to warrant any one in run, ming off b.indlv to this distant and in. hospitable territory. Diamonds are used for cutting diamonds, aud just now very sharp men are disposed to try the cutting of diamonds on the public. Francisco Bulletin.

THE SPANISH KNa.-The Madrid correspondent of the Independent Beige states tbat when Admiral Topete got in- formation relative to the intended attack on King Amadeus, he at once communi- cated with the Ministry, and Ruiz For fila; the Premier begged the King not to go to the garden fete. The King sald he would not, but subsequently, took it into his head that this alleged plot only existed in the nervous minds of his ad- visors and decided that he would go. Tue Queen said that if he went she went On leaving the gardens the King was again warned of danger. and begged to return by another route, but he 0bstin- ately refused. Ans we'll that ends well, and probably his defiance of danger has done him some service, but it IS idle to attempt to take care of such man. Probably King Amadeus agrees with poor Lord Mayo, who contended that precautions were utterly unavaillng when the would be assassin cared not tor his own life; those Spauiards the other day certainly seemed indifferent as to theirs.

How CHEAP BUTTER IS MANUFAC- TURED.-Those who cat butter, ought. in justice to themselves and their tami- lies, to read Q letter which appears III the Manchester Guardian from "Oue experienced in butter," giving some i teresting details ill regard to that article.

The two generous miners who discovered this new Golcon- da, instead of keeping their knowledge to themselves and picking up bu>hel or two of gems whenever they were in want of money, preferred to tell the tale of their discoveries to certain speculative persons, and permit them first to pre- empt this diamond region, and next to form u stock company.
