Norwegian Hay Harvesting

Judge Gator, i'm his new book, "a
summer in Norway" thus describes the
Norwegian hay harvest as seen by him
i'm the vicinity of ofTrondhiem (about lati-
tude 63 degrees or 81 degrees north:
Already in the Arctic Circle / have
been struck with the manner of curing
their lfay. This is no doubt rendered
necessary by reason of the frequent
showers to which the grass is exposed.
and the little heat received from the suns
rays by reason of their striking the earth
so obliquely, which is not compensated
by their perpetual action.
The hay is not cured upon the ground
where il is cut, but instead is hung up
to dry. Strong stakes are set into the
ground about six feet high and perhaps
fifteen feet apart; these are supported
by braces set in the ground and leaning
against their tops. Into these posts pins
are inserted about foot or fifteen in
ches apart, on which long slender poles
are laid. On these poles the newly mown
grass is spread, hanging down ON either
side, the lowest pole being first covered
and then the other, and so on up, till the
whole is completed; that on lower pole
being always overlapped by that on the
one next above it. In this position ii
really sheds the rain and is exposed to
the utmost action of the sun and wind,
so that no matter how succulent the
grass may be, it is rapidly dried to the
condition of hay. These hayracks, which
at little distance look like green he'd
ges stuck about the meadows, were TO
me an interesting feature.
With single exception lin which an
American moving machine was seen at
work all the hay saw was cut with
the scythe. This implement is shorter
than with us, but similarly shaped, and

Speaking of these strange, and by
some considered fabulous creatures of
the sea, the Hartford Times saws obsti-
nate incredulity of the newspapers and
the public in regard TO the existence of
creatures called sea serpents, begins to
weaken before the steadily accumulating
proofs of the fact. During the last
twenty years the testimony to this fact
has come from hundred disinterested
witnesses, who have had no possible
motive to lie about it; sea captains, men
of integrity, whose word on any other
subject would be accepted without
question. Their descriptions generally
tally. There are proofs that i'm past
times, and in various parts of the world,
the appearance of the marine monsters
here spoken of has been about as fire.
quent and as well attested, too. as i'm the
present day; but such things then
rarely got into books or newspapers.
One singularly favorite region which
these creatures love to haunt seems to
be that part of the Atlantic on the New
England coast between Cape Ann and
Cape Elizabeth. 1t was in that quarter,
at a point close by the Isles of Shoals,
ten miles off Portsmouth, New Hamp-
shire, that the first recorded appearance
of one of these creatures occurred On
our shores. That was more than fifty
years ago; then men who saw it 1.-TWO
of the rude residents of the island) were
out fishing in a small boat, when the
monster lifted his frightful head and
neck to height of apparently dozen
feet, so close to the boat that the men
could have struck him with an oar-but
they were so paralyzed by fright as to
he unable to lift a hand or move
muscle. OF late years more than twenty
different appearances of these creatures
have been noted between that point and
Cape Elizabeth. Two years ago such
creature was reported as having been
seen and attacked with missiles hurled
by a crowd on bridge, at some point
in the bay or harbor of Portland. Some
times they are seen in winter. During
the present summer two or three ac-
counts have been published of the ap-
pearance of so-called 'sea-serpents' off
the coast of Maine."

Curi0us Facts.

Fishes swallow their food whole.
They have no dental machinery fur
nished for them.
Frogs, toads and serpents never take
any food but that which they are salts
fled is alive.
If a bee, wasp, or hornet stings, it is
nearly always at the expense of its life.
Serpents are so tenacious of their life
that they will live for six months with
out food.
Turtles dig holes in the sand by the
seashore, and bury their eggs, leaving
them to be Matched by the sun.
Lobsters are very pugnaci0us, and
another grows out.
Naturalists say that single swallow
will deyour 5000 flies i'm day.
The tarantula of Texas is nothing but
an enormous spider.
A single Goldfish produces more than
million eggs i'm one season.
A whale suckles its young, and there
fore is not fish. The mothers affec-
ton is remarkable.
Toads become torpid in winter and
hide themselves, taking no food for five
or six months.
Serpents of all species shed their skins
annually, like sea-crabs and Holsters.
Turtles and tortoises have their skele-
tons partly outside of, instead of within
the body.
1t is believed that crocodiles live TO be
hundreds of years old. The ancient
Egyptians embalmed them.
In South America there is prolific
honey bee that has not been furnished
with sting.
In the darkest nights fishes pursue
their usual movements, the same as by
daylight.
Serpents never feed on anything but
animal food, which they themselves put
to death or swallow alive.
Seals are As intelligent as dogs, and
may be made to perform many tricks
like them.
The head of the rattlesnakc has been
known to inf1ict fatal wound after
being separated from the body.
If the eye of newt is put out, another
perfect eye is soon supplied by rapid
growth.
Fishes have no eyelids, and necessarily
sleep with their eyes open.
Alligators fall into a lethargic sleep
during the winter, like toad.
There are agricultural ants in Texas,
that actually plant grain, and reap be-
fore the harvest.

is attached to a straight handle instead
of crooked snath as in this country.
With US both handles are placed on the
upper side Of the crooked snath, inclin-
ing well forward. There, with the
straight snath, the lower handle is placed
on the lower side, and inclined back
wards. This constrains the worknen to
keep his left arm always bent. In some
places / saw them moving grass which
did not seem to be more than three in
ches high, but the tool seemed to be very
sharp, and they shaved II to the very
ground.
Everywhere, l saw more women at
work in the hay-fields than men; in a
few instances only were they moving,
when they seemed to keep up their swa-
thes with the men without trouble. III

They were generally engaged in raking
up the hay and placing it on racks to
dry, or hauling it away; generally with
a single pony on a sort of cart.

The HOrtieulturist gives an account OF
two novelties among flowers, which ii
is almost tempted to treat as fables until
their verify is established by personal
inspection. The following is the de-
scription of them: ''One Is a black Hly
in Santa Clara, California, with three
large blossoms, each nine inches long,
and perfectly black outside of the green
petals. The other is to he seen at Con-
stantinople, aud is described by an eye
witness as belonging to the narcissus
genus of bulbs. The flower represents
a perfect humming- bird. The breast,
of a perfect emerald green, is a com
plete copy of this bird, and the throat,
head, beak, and eyes are a perfect imi-
tatiOn. The hinder part of the body
and the two outstreched wings are of a
bright rose color. one might almost say
flesh colored. These wondrous bulbs
should have been sent 10 the Vienna
Exhibition. They will be in abundance
by the time of our Centennial celebra-
ton in 1876. And yet they can hardly
he greater curiosities than the strange
and mysterious '.SdRctd .SPiritu' flower
from South America, with its life-like
representation of doves"

4 Shake.penrean Mxsserx.

Grace Greenwood writes from Eng
land to the New York Times a deserip-
ton of a visit she paid recently to
Stratford-on-Avon, in the course of
which occurs the following paragraph
relating to some mysterious manuscripts
which are to be seen at the Shakespeare
house:
"Among the odd curiosities is a whole
bookcase filled with handsomcly-bound
manuscripts on Shakespeare and his
plays-all the work of am English gen.
tleman, a profound Shakespearean
scholar, who has given them to tha
committee having charge of the Shakes
peare house, on the awsome condition
that they shall not be examined till
after the writer's death. This snaeks
of stratagem-perllaps treason. What
if these gentlemen are housing in those
mysterious documents the supplement
to Miss Bacon's insane and blasphemous
work, aimed at the overthrow of the
demigod of Stratford and the idol of the
world? If so, there will probably come
off, some misty night, a private little
bonfire in Shake.peare's back yard, sur
rounded, perhaps, by ring of dancing
Governors and managers, while a sacri-
fetal smell of burnt paper shall pervade
the sacred air.

Spiters-

In a late number of the Go=efte refer
ence is made to what is called the spider
sign, and the fact that recently, in the
mornings, the grass and hedges Were
often largely covered with spiders
webs, with the remark that the action
of the spider is regarded as a sure sign
of dry weather. Spiders are trappers,
and spread their trappings to catch
game, each spider watching his own
traps to secure his game, and ''out Of his
seif-drd,cR ,rebs'' to repair and enlarge
his nets. This increase of webs may be
the result of an increase of spiders. But
spiders webs are oftentimes not visible
until covered with heavy dews. This
suggests that this apparent increase of
spiders webs was the result of eopious
dews, which brought these webs into
view. The vapOr which has thus fallen
in the form of dew, will not be con-
densed into rains, hence we may infer
that we will have less rain,

Deny ing the Deluge.

Persians and the great mass of the
Magians deny the deluge altogether
they believe that the rulership (of the
world) has remained with them without
any interruption ever since Gayomarks
(Gilshey), who was, according to them,
the first man. In denying the deluge
the Indians, Chinese and the various
nations of the east concur with them.
Some of the Persians, however, admit
the fact of the deluge, but account for it
in another way, as it is described in the
books Of the prophets. They say par
tial deluge occurred in Syria, and the
west in the time of Tahmurash, but that
did not extend over the whole of the
civilized world, and only few nations
were submerged in it. 1t did not extend
beyond the peak of HOlwan, and did not
reach the countries Of the east. a..

A Prerentiue for Siyiiag accidents
There are no accidents more common
in large manufactures, and few more
fatal, than those caused by the engage
ment of some portion of workman s
garments with a swiftly rotating shaft.
The loose dresses of female operatives
are especially liable to become entan-
geled in cOuntershafts placed near the
floor, or in the revolving shafting of
the machines which they may be at
tending. There is a very simple way
of rendering these casualties impOssi-
BILE. and this without necessitating the
usual plan of constructing a railing or
fender about the moving piece. 1t is
simply to cover the shaft with loose
sleeve along its whole length. The
sleeve may be- of tin or zinc and made
so as to be removable if desired. The
friction between il and the shaft would
be sufficient to cause its rotation with
the latter, but of course, in event of a
fabric becoming wrapped around it, it
would quickly stop. and allow of the
easy extrication of the Eame. The
sleeve should be lined with leather both
within and ut the ends in order to pre-
vent noise.
The same idea in the shape of loose
covers might readily be applied to cog
wheels or pulleys, and thus prove a
valuable safeguard against loss of life
or limb.

To Groas Larye Nelons.-When mel

The melon will soon drink up the wa

said that they will thus soon consume a
quart or more per day. and will eventu-
ally grow to an enormous size. They
will not, however, possess the sweetness
of those grown In the natural way,

my source of information is such that l
place full reliance in the plan. Perhaps
by sweetening the water and adding
some spices, any desired flavor could be
impaired. Who will test the matter by

Bees.-It is not safe to remove hives
Of bees from April TO December any
distance short of a mile, as many are
liable TO return to their old location and
are lost. A good hive of bees should
be filled about three-fourths full of
bees, as they are packed between the
combs, and should have i'm April not
less than ten pounds Of honey to render
their prosperity sure. The combs and
bee-bread in hive often weigh ten or
fifteen pounds, so that must be taken
into account in the gross weight of the
hive.
