How To SEE UNDER WATER
We lately described a way of re-
fleeing light to the bottom of a
shaded well. TO examine the
bottom of mill pond or uthtr
open water, a mirror is not neceS-
sary. The Indians Of the West
do this in the winter by cutting n
hole in the ice and then covering
themselves with blanket in such
a way as to shut of the glare OF
the sun from their eyes. They
can see fish at Il great depth. To
examine deep water in summer
time, it will be necessary to make
a float out of pine planking sulEi-
GENTLY large to buoy yourself up.
Through the center of this float
cut a hole as through the ice.
Then, covering yourself with a
blanket, you can look down
through the still and shaded surface
Of the water and see FOOLS or other
lost objects az the bottom. BY
means of observatories in the bot
toms of ships, with glazed windows,
powerful artificial beams for ilIu-
imitation, and submarine telescopes
piercing the hull, it is possible
that the bottom of the sea might
be made visible at considerable
depths. Hearth and Home.

DRESSING MUTToN.-Every-
body knows that the oil which
Jubricates wool is disagreeable
40 both taste and smell. In
Sitting and taking Of the pelt,
it is difficult to prevent a con-
tact Of the wool with tho flesh
along the lines where the skin
is fist severed, preparatory to
being stripped off. The accom-
plished butcher wishes to pre-
vent this contact, and he there
fore very thoroughly scrubs the
parts exposed with salaratus,
dissolved in cold water, which
wholly removes the disagreeable
odor and flavor. The farmers
for a long time were not aware
of the necessity Of such purga-
ton, which should be applied at
once, as soon as the peit, by tho
greatest activity, can be re-
moved. This done, the meat is
rs free from the faint of wool
old as the meat Of any other ami
NAL.

A correspondent of the o6,o,-
try Gentleman describes the rs
suit Of an experiment, which
has been tried for several years,
for the purpose Of ascertaining
the difference between allowing
fruit trees to stand in grass, and
keeping the ground mellow by
cultivation. : 4 dwarf pear-tree
was planted in a. large flower
bed, where the soil was % con-
stantly mellow, and another a
short distance Of, in sod. The
tree in cultivated soil, ar the
end Of ve.years, was four times
as large asthe one inthc grass;
and 4 standard pear-tree un-
der similar treatment, was cigh-
teen times larger than the one
not cultivated. -.-'s - =,

A Dog Worth Having ,

The Portland papers says: A. B. New
man, assistant lght-keeper at p, Mount
Desert, is the owner of fine Newfound-
land dog, of whom we are told the follow
ing anecdote: On Sunday, the 10th ult., Mr..
Newman's little boy, nine years old, strayed
away and was missing for about two hours.
The mother went out of doors and called
for him, when the dog, in response, ran up
from the shore with the boys wet cap in
his mouth, and signified by his actions that
he desired her to follow him. The mother,
alarmed, called the father, who was Sleep
ing in the house, and they followed the
dog as quickly as possible. Down by the
shore, on rock, the little boy was lying
insensible, his clothes, wet, as if he had
been dragged from the water. After long
efforts, in which the dog rendered all the
ASST stance he could inn his mute way, the
boy was resuscitated, and afterwards told
the story. He was on the beach gathering
| shells when large wave came in and car
ried him off in the undertow. Tho dog
jumped in after him, but the wave prevent

trowsers and tried to drag him ashore, but
the cloth tore in his teeth; and the boy
said he had an indistinct recollection
Of the dog coming down below the surface

he was conscious of. 1t seems that the dog
had dragged the child up on the rock out
of the reach of the waves and had tried to
restore him. When he heared the mothers
call he took the cap to inform her, as we'll
as he could, of the affair, and hasten as
sistance.
