BOYTON IN HIS WATER DRESS.
An Exhibition by the Man who
SWAN Across the English Channel

An Exhibitor by the Man who
SWAN Across the English Channel.
A large multitude assembled on the
Cuuard wharf, in Jersey City, recently,
to see Paul Boyton plunge into the dock
On his right foot was buckled,6 copper
sandal, consisting only of heel, sole and
straps, and designed for holding the va
rious flags sported at one time and ano-
ther Of the exhibition. Having lesped
into the water, he dropped back, hori-
zontlly, bis feet folded as they came up,
and having his long, light paddle cross
wise of his body, working it first with
one arm and then with the other he
swiftly padded himself to the other end
of the long pier. He next sailed off
with a large flag stuck into hiS sandal.
A breeze seemed instantly to spring up,
and the experiment was successful. He
next opened a stationary floating can
let fy pigeon, and it h9w to the near
est root. But the second pigeon drop
ped soon, aud after another unsuccesa-
iul effort her white wings being heavy
with water, Capt Boyton chased, caught
her. and quietly perched her on his
knees.
Boyton next launched forth to get a
pile of boards, that we're tied together
and drew them along with his feet to
the desired locality. He then detached
one, and shoulderng it, padded withths
other until be reached two great black
timbers that hoated in the middle Of the
dock. Witha hammer he nailed them
together By means of the board; then
went Cor more plank, and continued to
work until be had constructed a compar-
ahyeIY comfortable raft, This presently
served as his dinner table. On finishing
his raft he jumped upon it, waved hit
| flag, and blew his horn BE next fshet
with long pole, aud on catching alively

TESTING VEGETABLE SEEDs.-Take two
thicknesscs Of wooden cloth-either
flannel or fulIed cloth will answer.
Dampen them with water and lay them
in some shallow dish, as plate or
saucer. Then sprinkle a few seeds
over them, Icing careful not to spread
the seeds SO thick that they will lie
one upon the other. Aftcrward dampcn
another piece Of cloth and lay over
the seed. Keep the plate or saucer
in q moderately warm place, and by
removing the upper cloth at will the
result can be watched. The good
seed will gradually swell and finally
sprout, while the seed that is old, OF
that is bad from any other cause, may
swell at first, but instead Of growing
like the good, will mould and rot. By
a careful test in this way it is possible
to learn the exact proportion Of good
and bad seed in the lot you submit tc
the test.
