Man and Monkey.

The wonderful resemblance of some of
the larger apes 10 human creatures is
especially remarkable when they are suf-
ferlng from illness, or from what, so great
is their intelligence, we must acknowl.
edge to be sorrow. An ape of no common
merit having lately died in the Geological
Gardens at Dresden an account has been
published of its last moments, which give
an extraordinary idea of the almost human
dignity and pathos of its behavior on the
occasion. A few weeks of the destroying
malady, says a sorrowing friend, had been
sufficient to change this being, so full of
life, strength, courage-this magnificent
prototype of all quadrummana-into n
spectacle of misery. The most complete
apathy had taken the place of exuberant
freshness and vfvacity. Mafuka, as this
interesting creature was called, appeared
to suffer under a dim consciousness that
she could expect no relief, but only the
alienation of her pains, from those about
her. This state of things lasted until
within few hours of her DEATH Then as
Director Schopf (he director of the gar
dens) leaned over his favorite, the ape
drew him toward her, placed her arm
around the neck of her kind friend, and
looked at him for some time with clear
and tranquil eyes; she then kissed him
three times, with short intervals between
each salute, motioned To be laid upon her
couch, gave her hand to Schopf--a
though bidding farewell to companion
OF many happy years-and slept never to
wake again. Thus died the quasi human
Mafuka, fortified not indeed by the rites
OF the church, but by those common to the
wider brotherhood of trusting and afec-
tionate hearts.-Lond0n Echo.

Profitable Management for Bees.

An English writer, J. w. Dagden, of
Sussex, has published book relating
how he made $3.50 from bees, commenc-
ing almost without capital. He says:
9 Four years ago RECOMMENDED keeping
bees, and without any other outlay than
three dollars, excepting what has been
produced from the sale OF honey, L have
now nearly 100 stocks, remarkably strong
and vigorous, Independent of consider
able balance of money in their favor.
"In almost all bee gardens you will no.
tice that the hives of bees are ranged close
under south wall this have found to be
the worst situation possible, the heat some
times being so great that all work is en-
tirely suspended for some OF the most
valuable hours of the day, and, moreover,
they are exposed TO all the storms of wind
and rain which prevail from that quarter
| have made trial of almost every point
OF the compass, and find east, or ii point
north or south of this, to be the best. A
straw hive will last three times as long in
this rs in the first named position.

How the Fast Trains Are Run Be-
tween New York and Philadelphia.

This division of the Pennsylvania Road
is now run on the block system" The
whole line is divided into sections OF two
or three miles, each supplied with tele-
graph operator and signalman on con-
slant duty. A frame for displaying q sig
nal target, or light, is placed ut the COM
mencement of each division. When the
road is entirely clear white signal is
shown. When passenger-train enters
any block or section red one il substi-
tuted. While this is the case, no other
train is allowed TO go upon it. The en-
gineer of the next following train, If he
secs red signal, must wait until it disap-
pears and the white one goes up. If the
white light is already shown, he goes on
over that block without stopping. From
four TO eight minutes are consumed in
traversing block, according to the speed
of the train, and different fast-trains can
follow each other at intervals of this
length, which would not be possible under
other circumstances. The moment train
passes off of any section the fact is tele-
graphed back to the next preceding tele-
graph station, SO that the white light may
be shown and the block declared to be
clear. Thus there is constant pclsation
of intelligence all along the line between
the two cities, of which the passengers on
the train are totally unconscious. They
do not realize, as they sweep on with the
speed of the wind, that their every move
ment Is recorded by the finger of electrici-
ty, shooting back and forth with the We
locity of light. Beside the numerous pas
senger trains, there is great number of
freight trains constantly in motion. These
have to make their way, as best they can,
out of the way of passenger trains.
When freight train is running
on any block green signal
Is shown, which indicates that suc-
ceeding trains may follow with caution.
If the next train carries passengers, it Is
the business of the freight to get out of
the way; if it is also a freight train it will
probably not CycrlaEe its predecessor.
Some of the principal side-tracks have
telegraph stations at both ends, SO that no
time need be lost by the train-hands.
There are more than fifty telegraph offices
along the ninety miles of road. The ar
engagements usually work so perfectly that
it is seldom necessary for any train to halt
before entering a block. At the Superin-
tendent's office in Jersey City large chart
is kept, upon which is marked perfect
record of the progress of each train upon
the road as recorded by telegraph. If a
train is minute behind at any station the
fact is instantly known at headquarters.
The passenger. conductors usually make
one round trip per day. The active work
is thus about six hours, but additional
time is needed TO make returns and settle
up with the agents. There are three con-
ductors and three tiremen TO every two en-
gines in daily use, so that each set of men
works two days out of three. Running a
passenger engine for fast train is very
exhausting. ReUieo.

Extraordinary Case Of Mesmerism In
Scotland.

Much excitement and not little indig-
nation were occaSioned in Govan on
Wednesday afternoon by the cOn6uct of a
mesmerist, and there is some talk of a
civil action being raised against him for
injuries inflicted on respectable young
married man residing IN Burndyke street,
who was allowed to lie on the cold, damp
ground in Napier street Tor about twenty
minutes in state of mesmcrisn, and had
to be conveyed on a barrow to the police
office and the services of medical man
obtained before he was brought to his
senses. The mesmerist gave an entertain
ment In the burg on the previous evening,
and the young man, who is a filter in one
of the ship-building yareis, was mesmer-
lied along with several others, and, while
In that state, the mesmerist commanded
him TO come to the corner of the above
street at quarter to two O'Clock m the
following day and share with him the
half of his dinner. The filter went 10 his
work in the morning all right, but, just
as he was in the act OF taking his dinner,
he suddenly left the table, carrying lit
tie jug full of broth, and made his way
down Govan road in an excited manner TO
the place where the professor was to
meet him. A large crowd soon collected
round the poor fellow, who was as if
pinned to the wall, holding on tenaciously
10 his little jug containing the broth. He
eventually slid down upon the cold
ground, and lay there for about twenty
minutes. the excited crowd expected the
mesmerist to keep his appointment and
relieve the poor fellow from his position,
but he did not put in an appearance. The
police arrived on the scene, and the man
was conveyed TO The Office on a barrow.
His limbs were by this time perfectly
stiff, and, with the exception of a slight
movement of the heart and pulse, the
body showed very little signs of life. DIR.
Barras was sent for, and, after consider
able difficulty, succeeded in bringing the
young fellow out of his mcsmeric sleep,
after his wife and brothers, who had come
10 the Office, had been greatly alarmed
about his condition. The mans health
must have suffered considerably by the
exposure, as he shivered like an aspen
leaf on awakening, and had to be taken
home in cab.-North British HaH.

Dangers OF Diving.

1t appears that the people on board a
ship which sunk on the northeastern coast
of Ireland. says Frank auckland in his
LOG Book" had tried 10 escape, having
first filled their shirt-slceves with dollars /;
but in getting up the rocks many of them
had fallen back and met with an untimely
end, as the weight of the dollars had kept
their heads under water. No one had
ever disturbed the wreck since the vessel
went down, SO Mr.. Wood, a famous diver,
and his friends set to work TO find out
where she was. They put on their dlvin g
dresses, and for two or three days walked
about to and fro at the bottom of the sea
in about forty feet of water, searching for
the treasure. This they did by clearing
away the weeds and turning over the
stones with crowbars and feeling for The
dollals with their hands, as the water was
too thick TO see. The wood part of the
wreck itself had nearly persisted through
lapse of time and ravages of seaworms
After u long and careful search at last they
came upon the dollars; they were mostly
spread about among the stones, but many
had slipped down among heap OF iron
ore which had formed the ballast of the
ship. Many of the dollars were worn
thin by the action of the water.
When hunting among the wreck for the
dollars Mr.. Wood had some curious un-
der water adventures. One of the divers
complained that he was annoyed by lob
ster and couldn't work. Mr.. Wood learned
the whereabouts of the lobster and went
down after him. He soon discovered Mr..
Lobster sitting under a rock looking as
savage as lobster can look. His feelers
were pointed well forward and he held out
his two great claws wide open in threat
ening attitude. Wood, knowing the hab-
its of Holsters, offered this fellow his crow
bar, which he Immediately nipped with
his claws. Then, watching his oppor-
tunity, he passed his signal-line over the
Holsters tail, made it fast, and signaled to
the men above TO "haul away This
they did and away flew MIR. Lobster, fly
ing up through the water into the air
above, with his claws still expanded and
as scared as a lobster could be. A great
conger-eel also paid the diver visit. He
was an immense fellow and kept swim
ming around Wood, but would not come
near him. Wood was afraid of his hand
being bitten, as conger- cells bite is very
bad. He once knew a diver whose finger
was seized by conger. This brute took
all the flesh clean off the mans finger. A
conger is very dangerous animal to
man when diving in the water. However,
this conger kept swimming round about
Wood, so he took his clasp knife out and
tried to stab him; but the conger would
not come near enough to be "knifed."
1t wasa long time before the conger would
go away; and even after he had gone
away Wood could not go on working, be-
cause he was not sure that the brute was
really gone for good and he might have
come out of some corner at any minute
and nipped his fingers.

American Institute PrOceedings-FOr.
est Culture

The following paper on Forests" Of
fered through the Forest Committee, was
recently read before the American Insti-
tute in New York:
Our cooperative relations with foreign
countries on forest interests are likely to
be intimate. The incorporation of the
following memorial in this series of pa
pers, together with the direct applicability
of much of it to us, therefore seems not
inappropriate. When in the Orient, on
the work of the Oriental Typographical
Corps, we addressed it, at the request of
eminent scientists resident in the Turkish
dominions, TO the Governor of Palestine
through the Prussian Consul at Jerusa-
lem, and through a Scotch physician of
Cairo to the Khedive of Egypt. The
memorial is as follows:
"That is beautiful story of dream
of follower of your prophet, who desired
to know if he truly loved God, and learned
in the dream that he who proved by the
acts of his life that he loved his fellow
man might be sure he loved God. In
this land none of the temporal gifts of
God seem more needed by our fellow-men
than trees. These will give not only the
fruit they bear on their branches and
cool shade on the ground, but, also,
health in the air, rain from the clouds
and beauty to the land. We can give our
y
planting them, and we can plant ten tree
seeds easier than we can dig up one small
tree and plant it. In the fatherland of
our German brethren there is a pleasant
custom of every newly married pair plant
ing two trees. The scientific organiza-
ton which l represent is trying to form
the habit among its members and friends
who travel or live in Oriental countries
of planting in them the seeds of the fruits
we eat here. If this habit could become
general among the people, and also
the habit or custom of protecting
the young trees by keeping men and ami
mails from injuring them, the good would
soon come to the people, and the wealth to
your Government would be very great.
We find beetle-holes, crevices behind
large stones in the shade, and damp places
by water courses good places to plant the
seeds; and seeds having firm cases (such
as the oak, peach, plum and apricoD good
ones to plant. We believe that in many
desert places the yellow pine, which
grows in sandy portions of the Southern
States of North America, also the seeds
of nut bearing trees, of special value to
YOUR country. If these words seem good
to YOU please add such other words to
them as in your wisdom shall seem best,
and send them to the Sheiks of your land.
have thus planted thousands of tree
seeds in the Turkish dominions myself,
and hope to plant thousands more. You
NAV think il we'll to offer a prize to the
Sheik who plants and protects the greatest
number of trees within alfhOur's travel
from his village. With great respect l
beg to subscribe myself your American
friend. GEO. MAY POWELL"

Our National Air.

The Washington correspondent of the
boston Jour1saL is trying TO prove that
Yankee Doodle is our national air. and
he quotes this anecdote related by John
Quincy Adams to sustain him: "Afier
the ministers plenipotentiary of Great
Britain and the United States had nearly
concluded their pacific labors at Client.
the burghcrs of that quaint old Dutch CITY
determined to give an entertainment in
sheir honor, and desired TO have the ma
tIonal airs of the two treaty-making DOW
ers performed as part of the programme
80 the musical director was directed to call
upon the American ministers and obtain
music of the national air of the United
States. No one knew exactly what TO give
ana consultation cnsued, at which Bav
| ard and Gallatin favored Hail Columbia t,
while Clay, Russell and Adams were de-
cidetlly in favor of Yankee Doodle The
musical director was called in and informed
| of the decision. lie then asked if any of
the gentlemen had the music, and, receiv-
ing negative reply, suggested that per-
haps one OF them could sing or whistle
the air. can't said Mr. Clay; | never
whlstled or sang tune in my life Per
haps MIR. Bayard cam Neither can l.
replied MIR. Bayard. Perhaps Mr. Rus
sell can MIR. Russell, Mr.. Gallatin and
MIR. Adams in turn confessed their lack of
ability. have it, exclaimed Mr.. CLAW.
and ringing the bell he summoned his
colored body servant. John said Mr..
Clay, whistle - Yankee Doodie,' for This
gentleman John did so, the chief must
clan noted down the air, and at the enter
tlinment the Client burghers' band played
the national air of the United States with
variations in grand stJ le."
WENDELL PHILLIPS once said: A." II paint
