sage Of tho Channel, and his first essay In that
direction, although unsuccessful, gave such
earnest Of the enormous powers Of endurance
which he possessed az to encourage him and
his friends for another trial The success he
has now earned is perfectly honest and
legitimate one. He did not wait in France for
unusually fair weather. At the time appointed
he committed himself TO the double uncer-
tainty Of q tossing sea and foggy sky. and
after what wOuld seem journey OF incredible
length and difficulty, he landed safely, very
little distressed, in England.

him to put it on and be shot at. Mr.. Boyton
has done no less than this for his invention
He has twice committed himself to the waves
with it, under circumstances where any one
would certainly have persisted with any llie-
preseryer of which we have hitherto had any
account. 1t is true that much und0ubt-

age, skill, and endurance; but when
due allowance is made for this, the fact remains
that he has done something never before ac-
complished by any ore, and that he has done 1t
by means Of his own invention. 1t is possible
that it may require a good deal of time and
patience to learn to manage the Boyton aimor

none more worthy of y respectable success than
Paul Boyton. Morphy beat the world at

horses, which had been lost since Alexander's
time In the Exposition Of 1867 we opened the
eyes of the "eIfcte aristocracies" to the vir-

Mr.. BOytOn, with his own little sensation, has
done better thing than any of these. He has
advertised what seems a good invention for

Another prophet has gone away from home
and gained great honor. We suppose Capt
BOyton's life-saving apparatus was as effective,
and he was as skillful in managing it when he
padded in our own waters as when he breasted
the waves of the Channel But he won no fame
nor notoriety by bis invention on this side. His
first leap into glory was from the deck of a
steamer as he drew near TO the Irish coast. He
instantly became an object of interest to the
shipload who snw him thus challenge the At
lantic Ocean to single combat, and when
he came ashore, none the worse for
wear, his nine days of wonder were
ready for him. He attracted enough attention
to make his marine gambols an object Of
curiosity to royalty. Like Mr. Magsman's
dwarf he "astonished her Majesty" and secured
paragraph in all loyal newspapers by saying
EYES, Miss" to the Princess Beatrice. But all
this was a mere preparatory flourish of trum-
pets. The bold navigator believed enough In

RESINPIION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS ~
FR1NCE

fEJNtE.
By the new convention between the French
Government and the Bank of France il is pro-
yided that specie payments shall be resumed
by the Bank Jan. l. 1878. AZ the Outstand-
ing circulation of the Bank is only $3.50, O0O,-
600, against which 1907, 100000 in specie
are held, it is ut first sight not easy to account
for 80 long delay. We must, however, con-
slider that the French paper money is issued
by a hank, and that the object to be accom-
pshed is the resumption of payments in specie
on such a basis as to admit of all the ordinary
banking operations being carried on with ease
and without interruption. OF what is necessary
to this end in the way of preparation the man
ayers of the Bank of France must be admitted
to be the best judges.
The main obstacle to resumption in France,
in the opinion of the Bank, is the war loan
made by the Bank to the Government. The
loan was effected in this manner: ~ The
Government authorized the Bank to suspend
payments in specie and to extend its issue of
notes, not redeemable in coin, to the maxi
mum amount of $64O, OOO,O 900. ca On the
other hand, the Bank was to lend to the Govern
ment the maximum amount of $5OG,OO0,00O
at one per cent per annum. The highest
point actually reached by the issues of the Bank
was 1914, 100000 on October 81, 1873, of
which 1886, 100000 represented the amount
of the one per cent loan then due to the
Bank from the Government Since that time
the Government has reduced its Indebtedness
to $155, 900 and the Bank has reduced
its circulation to $4s9,OOO,OOO. The new
treaty provides that the Government shall pay
to the Bank $22, 100000 in 1876, $6s,OOO.-
900 in 1877 and $40, 600, 900 each in 1878

The position taken by hotel proprietors in
respect to danger from fire merits the most
severe apprehension. When the perilOus con-
ditions of these buildings, filed with occu-
pants from roof to cellar, are pointed out, the
reply is, it costs less to insure hotel with
these imperfcctions than to have them RENE
died. If fire takes place in hotel where
this plea is advanced and loss Of life ensues,
as it probably will, the proprietor ought to be
indicted for manslaughter.

Cloud and SPIRITED Tail discovered that, do

4 New Process of Making Bread

VI. Cecil, French engineer, has invented
new process of preparing the materials for
making bread, which has received the ap.
prevail of the Minister of War, and will here.
after be adopted in the French army. BY
this process an increased percentage of the
nutritive properties of grain is retained, 50
that by avoiding the usual grinding and wet.
ting the grain that would make 1l5 pounds
of bread in the ordinary way will make what
is equivalent to 40 pounds. The new pro
cess is described AS follows: The unground
grain is first stepped in water, after which il
is placed in revolving cylinders, by which it
is deprived of its outer musk, which contains
but sor per cent. OF nutrimen'. The
grains are then soitened by forming them
into a thin sponge, and keeping them for a
space of six to eight hours at temperature
of seventy-seven degrees Fahrenheit. They
are then crushed under and made into dou "a
with salt and water, as usual.

How TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL HYACINTHs IN
WiNLER.-Late in December, after our fall
stock Of bulbs was disposed of, we found a
dozen or more hyacnths OF various colorS
which had been overlooked. To keep them
from spelling they were hastily planted in
four or five large pots, and these set away in
an out'building, where they would be free
from frost and have little light There they
were leit tor three months, and nothing done
except to water them occasionally. Expect
ing little or nothing from them, they
were not noticed till leaf and flower stalk
were both perfectly developed. The light
had not been sufficient to color the flowers,
and these were al OF dirty pale green. The
pots were now brought to the sitting-room

hours each spike had assumed its natural
