A LIon Hunt on a steamshlp.

Lion hunting on board steamship is
certainly a novelty, yet the passengers
and crew of the Euphrates and Tigrls
Steam Navigation company vessel,
CITY of London, seem to have had a
most exciting and successful lion hunt
on the 18th of March last.
From the account given by cores
pondentof the Times Of India, it appears
that on the morning of that day, when
at the junction Of the two rivers Eu-
pirates and Tigris, where fhe rivers had
oyerhoWed the embankments, three full
grown lions were seen walking along
the shore IN the water about a mile
ahead of the steamer. On nearing the
beasts cne was shot dead while trying
to vim toward the ship. The launch
was manned to pick mp the carcass, and
the steamer pursued the two others,
who turned round TO charge the vessel
After many shots had been fred at
them, one was struck dead by the COM
mRnder. and the other was shortly after
ward despatched by 8 bullet from q
Snider. The steamer then approached
the bank, and the dead lions, OF rather
Honesses, for such they proved to be,
were taken on board. About ten min
utes later large male lion was observed
crouching down on q small tract OF
ground surrounded with water, and
waving his tail, perhaps as q signal OF
distress. On being fred st he gave a
tremendous roar, and with his name
standing on end, advanced 70 charge the
shin. when q fresh voliey laid him low.
BE. too, was carried on board when thor
ou9hIy dead, and his dimensions were
as follows: Length from head 70 end
Of tail, feet 6 inches length Of body,
feet Z inches; height, 3 feet 81 inches
weight, 40 pounda. The like Of this
incident, it is stated, has never occurred
before in that part Of Mesopotamia. -

Cremation in Germany.

Three scientific men of Italy have
proposed methods for burning the dead,
but none of them have seemed calcula-
ted to carry out the full idea that Gre
nation involves. The German method,
of which Prof. Reclaim, of Leipsic, is
the inventor, seems the best yet pro-
posed. The system is a somewhat com
plicated one, but it is said to do its
work we'll. The professor says that
"no other method treats the body in
such simple and pious manner. Be
fore the assembled mourners the corpse
is lowered into smoothly-walled room
where no other objects can be found.
Nothing touches it but the air, heated
to a white glow intensity, the oxygen of
which combines with the atoms of the
organic structure. Only the ashes re-
main, and these can be gathered mp IN
mixed With foreign substances. The
cost of burning body by this process
is about two dollars. @The architect,
Siemens, is engaged in constructing 8
cremation oven according to this model
in Dresden, and if the prospective tri-
ais prove satisfactory the communes
both of Dresden and Leipsic have de-
clared their readiness to adopt the

Crop Prospects.

The crop statistics sttaiRable thus
early in the season indicate that all sec
tions of the country will be blessed with
bountifui harvests. OF course such sta
tistics are very far from being absolutely
trustworthy, for the crops depend main
Iv on the future character Of the season,
and the season viii be made by the
weather, which is a by-wOrd for tickle
ness. But the fact that crop statistics
are regularly collected tends to place
the trade IN the produce of the earth on
a much securer basis than it occupied
some years ago when the grain mer-
chants ef western Europe got nothing but
Temporary sffiuence and certain ultimate
bankruptcy for their speculatiOns on the
weather, and the grain merchants Of the
Isevant by a mysterious sort Of weather
wisdom got possession Of the gfain mar
kets Of London. The old dangers and
uncertainties of grain speculations have
not by any means been removed by the
publication of such crop statistics as are
now collected, and they are not likely
to be efTectually diminished until the
international system of crop reports adj
vocated by many eminent meteoTolo-
gists shall be established. But, barring

Have thsy Any FReSt ON tAe Weather
and Harvest Ouss0okI
The current Weather Review iast
published, contains data Of last month s
weather, interesting aud useful in the
crop calculations Of the season. The
very valuable chart, showing the dis
tribution of rain proves that the pre-
clPltation IN May was IN . manner re-
markably complementary to that Of
April, the districts flooded ir the for
mer month escaping excess IN the lat
ter month. and those suffering def
cheney before were generally replen-
ished. The southern and interior dis
tricts, whose wheat crops ripen early,
had no Wetting and destructive weather
to rot the harvested grain, while the
rainfall on the seabOard has been very
nearly Just what the crops need.
The reports show that in the interior
of Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, aud In
diana the month was dry and the tenn
perature high, but that heavy dews pre-
Aailed, 50 that no detriment to the
crops Is complained of. These are IA
vorable returns from the agricultur-
list, especially when combined with the
thermometric data for the same pc
riod. The isothermal chart revesls a
decided superabundance of tempera-
ture in the interior and grain-growing
states, which, al we know, has been,
since May closed, extended over the en-
tire seaboard.
The electrical phenomena have been
peculiarly violent and frequent, and On
Pixies Peak for twelve days, ia the lat
ter half of the month, they were among
the most interesting and instructive on
record, being almost daily attended by
hail storms aud thunder storms. We
might, therefore, very properly inquire
whether the prevalence Of these violent
thunder storms in the Rocky mountains
toward the end of May does not explain
the similar phenomenon over the east
ern side of the country ? And, If so,
would not the indications from Pixies
Peak furnish an intimation to the west
ern farmers of the coming tornadoes
and hail tempests The summer wes-
terly winds, which do the work of con-
densiue the clouds and squeezing out
their vapor on the soil of the interior
and seaboard states, come largely from
the Rocky mountains. They travel, in
the high aerial regions, with twice the
velocity of an express train without
stoppages, and transport the thermal
condition eastward with marvellous =
pidity. With little study of the tri-
daily data from which these monthly
summaries are made mp we doubt not
the private citizen, the farmer and
steamboatman could gain great advan-
tages in their respective occupations.

not a clergyman who wants q new

not reject nine applicants out of ten for
