fallen. The leaves and branches Of a tree near

path of some heated object. On digging about
eight feet they came upon a stone about twelve

Water was poured upon 1t, and it was appar-

BUIsLAY's LATE BALLOON AsCENsIoN.-
The San Francisco Bulletin says that after re-
peated failures and disappointments to visitors
at Woodward's Gardens, the Buislays made
another attempt, unannounced, to get their
large montgolfer balloon OFF on the 25th of Au-
gust, and were quite successful in satisfying
the spectators, and came very near permanently
satisfying the vaulting ambition of General
Buislay, who accompanied the ascent, heels
foremost, on the trapeZe. When bounding out
OF the amphitheatre, the balloon rolled against
one OF the poles erected for holding il in posi-
ton during the process of imitation, and large
rent was made in the side, from which the hot
air escaped rapidly as the balloon was rising
its night, in consequence of this accident, was
IKE that of a wounded bird, and without reach
ing very high altitude, it drifted rapidly with
the strong breeze in the direction of the bay As
1t neared the Long bridge in its descending
swoop, Buislay was enabled to calculate with
tolerable ACCURACY that by remaining on the
trapeze he would have his neck broke by being
dashed against the timbers of the bridge, or
otherwise his throat cut on the telegraph wires,
so he determined to avoid either disaster by let.
ting go, and falling about thirty feet into the
sort elastic mud up to his neck. He escaped
serious injury by this maneuyre, and fioundered
ashore In his gymnastic apparel. The balloon
brought up in the mud on the opposite side of
the bridge, and was recovered by parties in
boats, after the rising of the tide, considerably
the worse for wear and tear.

How Surgical Discovery was Acct
deniaiy Made.

The Aertzliche Hausfreund is response
bic for the following account of the cruel
misdeeds OF brutal woman leading to
the discovery of an important method Of
performing painless surgical operations
A wicked stepmother placed . net upon
the head Of her IL year old stepdaughter,
and compelled her to wear it for two
weeks continuously. On the 5th OF March,
1872, the girl suffering with headache, was
brought to the clinic Of Prof. Dr. Dittel
DR.. Dittel made a careful examination of
the head and found deep furrow plOwed
into the head, ut the bottom of which was
the elastic cord of the net, covered with
little carbuncles. The poor girl died of
inflammation cf the cerebral membrane,
and upon dissection t was found that not
only the pericranium but also even the
skull bones were cut through as if with Il
sharp saw, This proved what force is ex-
erted by elastic cords, and since then DR..
Dittle has employed them for cutting off It's
sues and removing swellings and tumors.
By this gentle means, the patien. does not
loose a drop of blood, suffers scarcely any
pain, has no lever, and soon gets well.
This method seems TO have Il great future
in store for it Many patients are 50
Mortified by the sight ofthe dreadful knife

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,


The original home of the bee was no

all animal life, was placed where the
climate and all of the surroundings
We're favorable but we will have to
suppose that the first female bee had
capacities that she had not now; that
she could build the comb cells IN which
she deposited her first eggs. This was
not impossible, for have we not the
same thing repeated every year. by the
solitary female OF the Humble bee,
(Bumbus) and by the Hornet yespa)
and by number of other species of
hymenopterous insects
The female Humble bee collects the
pollen aud honey, and constructs the
cells for the occupancy OF her first
brood IN the spring. After the first
brood, composed OF workers, comes
out, she ceases to provide for any more
brood, as the young bees do it, and
confines herself to the laying of eggs as
does the queen 81 the honey bees.
we may reasonably suppose that the
primitive honey bees did not inhabit
cavities, or hives, as IN the tropics they
are not necessary TO their existence.
Some of the existing varieties in the
Malayan Islands, as dpjS teStdced,
which IS found IN the Island OF Borneo,
build their comb on the under side of
the limbs OF lofty trees, with no other
protection than the crust Of bees that
surround il, and it is not rare for car

/ AeIcLnn isarl,

The bark True Love, Capt. Thomas
Wetherill, has just arrived tPhiladel phia
from Greenland. This vessel was built in
the year 1864, and Is consequently 100
years old. The sides tumble uwards to
the top OF the gunwale, and this makes
the vessel much broader at the water-line
than on deck, In nautical language the
sides are known as "tumbling home,1 be-
cause they fall in above the bends.
The bark was built at Philadelphia, but
it cannot be ascertained, with any degree
certainty, at what particular point The
Custom House egsster does not contain
the record, because the vessel was built
twelve years before the beginning of the
American revolution. 1t is most likely
that she was built in hensington, as 1t APP
pears from history that the first ship-yardS
on the Delaware were established in that
locality, not far from the Penu treaty
ground. The bark was built Tor parties
residing in Hull, England, and still halls
from that place, and for forty seven years
was engaged in the whaling business in
the Northern seas, and appeared to be at
home among the iceburgs Of the Arctic
regions. 1t is understood that the vessel
has never required any considerable re-
pairs. The original timbers appear to be
rs sound as the day they were erected on
the stocks in old Kensington. The bark
registers 900 tons, bnt will carry much
more.
