A Marine Curiosity

The San Diego World says: A little
girl while playing on the beach found
III small pool of water the most curl
GUS marine butterfly it has ever been
our good fortune to behold. We say
butterfly because it's hues are SO gor-
geous, although in appearance it more
resembles grub. It is about an inch
and half long, and is composed Of a
gelatinous substance. DR.. Barnes, who
examined it with us, thinks that it is a
vertebrate, but we confess that we
could see no evidence Of articulation.
Two very long antenn@ projected from
the head, and two smaller prongs erect
themselves like plumes further back on
the head when the thing is in motion.
It has two strong orange-colored prongs,
which some of the spectators were dis
posed to call it's eyes, dependent from
the head. It's back was covered with
what looks like a bright orange fringe.
Small as this creature is, these spiculse
count by the thousands and they seem
to answer as fms, as the nondescript ev.
identity propels and guides itself by
them. The body and belly of this ma.
rine curiosity is bright purple. It can
contract and expand itself at pleasure,
and is as garish as the brightest butter
fly of the field.

A MOl0ch i'm Ancient America.

In Ohio mound of novel character
has recently been cut through, in order
to make the approach Ito the Newtown
bridges near Cincinnati. It was ev-
identity the debris of huge sacrifice of
children. A space twenty-five feet in
diameter had been covered with an i'm
mense heap of wood, then it was set on
fire, and the children were probably
tossed into it one by one, as in the an
cient sacrifices to Moloch. The heat
was evidently intense and long contin-
ued, as the ground plainly showed the
effects of violent confagration. AS
soon as the sacrifice was completed and
the fire had died out, the remains of the
victims we're all raked together in the
center, and then the mound was raised
in very remarkable way. Soil was
brought, apparently by different tribes
from different localities, and each va
riety was carefully deposited by itself,
so that the differences we're clearly dis
tinguishable. The remains collected
consisted mostly of jaws and teeth of
children. A pierced tooth of rodent was
found, which had evidently been used
as an ornament. The remains will be
placed in a museum at Plainville, O.

Greasing Buggies and Wagons.

Greasing buggies and wagons is of
more Importance than some imagine
Many wheel is ruined by oiling too
plentifully. A well-made wheel will
endure constant wear from ten to twenty
years, if care is taken to use the right
kind and proper amount of oil; but if
this matter is not attended to, the wheel
will be used up in five or six years, or
it may be sooner Lard should never
be used on a wagon, for it will pene-
trate the hub, and work it's way around
the tendons of the spokes and spoil the
wheel. Castor oil is a good material
for use on iron axle; just oil enough
should be applied to a spindle to give
it "a light coating; this is better than
more, for the surplus put on will work
out at the ends, and be forced by the
shoulders and nut into the hub, around
the outside of the boxes. To oil the
axletree, first wipe the spindles clean
with a cloth wet with turpentine, if it
doesn't wipe without it. On buggy
or carriage, wipe and clean off the back
and front ends of the hubs, and then
apply a very small quantity of castor
oil, or more especially prepared lubri-
Gator, near the shoulders point.
