A WESTERN Paper suggests, that Eng.
Iish sparrows be turned loose in the West
to eat the grasshoppers. This would
ne nice for the sparrows and the grass
hoppers, but bad for the farmers. No
sparrow will eat grasshopper or even
pick r savory mOrsel off from him unless
it has a large family starving on 90 cents
a day. The sparrow, as New YOrkels
have found to their grief, is essentially q
seed-eater, and he declines even the
tenderest bug or the sweetest grub if he
can get any vegetable relish. The spar
row would probably fling the grasshopper
in a straight GraecO- Roman wrCstle, but
neither would eat the other except In
the last stages of famine. II sparrows
are transplanted to the West they VIII
90 for wheat with an avidity that will
make the grasshoppers stand up on their
hind legs and whistle with amazement.

Something About Torpedo Boats.

The torpedo boat is a particularly Ameri-
can idea. 1t was in l776 and in New York
harbor that the first torpedo boat was launch
ed. David Bushnell, an American Captain
of Engineers, undertook to plant torpedo
under a British man .of-war, but did not
succeed. The torpedo was to be attached to
the bottom of the vessel by means of wood
en- screw, and then fired by clock-fuse. Du-
ring the following year drifting percussion
torpedo was directed against frigate lying
OF New London, and schooner that was
moored alongside was destroyed. Thirty
years afterward Robert Fulton experiment.
ed in New York harbor with four classes of
torpedoes of his own invention, and in lS43
Col. Samuel applied electricity to ignition of
submarine batteries. During the civil war
torpedoes of an American invention we're
used in the Southern waters, and nine iron
clads, eleven wooden war vessels and nine
transports and steamboats, were destroyed.
The only weapon of this kind which has
yet been used by the Russians on the Dam
ube are spar torpedoes, like the one which
Lieut.. Cushman put under the bottom of the
ram Albemarle, in Roanoke inlet. The
man who made that torpedo is the inventor
of the improved engine of war which was
exhibited recently at Cleveland, Ohio. The
Whitehead torpedo, which is regarded
abroad as a marvel of ingenuity, is propelled
by compressed air, and cannot be controlled
after it starts on its course. The Lay torpe-
do boat carries in hold its own engine and
boiler, besides its freight OF 100 pounds of
dynamite, The engine, the rudder and the
exploding fuse are under the control of the
operator on shore. There are three keys
playing on the battery on shore, and these
keys start and stop the engine or turn it to
port or larboard. The torpedo may Ne so
arranged as to explode by the operation Of
the keys or by conclusion upon striking any
hard object. When the torpedo strikes the
vessel or any other solid substance, a bell is
rung in the Office on shore, and the dynamite
may be exploded or not. The velocity which
is claimed for this torpedo seems marvellous
twelve miles an hour.

A Tragic Test.

A singular murder case, awaiting trial in
Indiana, has given rise to much legal dis
cussion as to whether the circumstances JUS
tilted the charge. A juggler, who alleged
that he possessed some power which rendered
him "bulet proof" invited the prisoners in
the case to aim at him with loaded musket
assuring him that he might do so without
the slightest fear of producing any painful
results. The prisoner accepted the kind
invitation, and with loaded musket pre-
sented to him by the juggler, Immediately
sent bullet through his head. 1t is urged
that, as there was no intention on the part
of the prisoner to kill the deceased, the
charge of murder cannot be maintained.
The juggler was thoroughly confident of his
own invulnerability, and several of his re-
lations who were to be called as witnesses
for the defence were prepared to prove that
although several times shot at before, he
was never hurt. A similar case occurred in
| England few years ago. A wizard at one
of the theatres begged one Of the audience
as favor to fire gun at him. The specta-
tor, thus invited, loaded the gun with a
charge of shot he had brought with him for
the express purpose of testing cfucially the
alleged invulnerability of the wizard. The
result was painful in the extreme-tbe wiz
ards face was peppered with the shot, aud
the spectator who fired the gun was given
into the custody of the police. Both mar
rowly escaped death--one by the gun, and
the other by the gallows.

The Redwood Forests of California.

The redwood trees of California are mar
velous to behold. Our lumbermen would
almost grow crazy over the immensity of
their size and grandeur. They are the giant
trees of the world. The cedars of Lebanon
dwarf into insignifcance as compared with
them, and even the big trees of Mariposa,
Calaveras and Tuolumce counties in this
State, which belong to the redwood family,
and which attract the eyes of the tourists on
account of their wonderful size, are not as
tall or as grand In Fresno county, has
been recently discovered new grove of
these colossal trees one of which eclipses in
circumference any of the big trees of the
Yosemite, it being few inches less than
l40 feet in circumference, In height it is
100 feet, while large portion of its top, ly-
ing on the grounds over 100 fee in length.
The tallest redwood trees are to be found in
San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties, where
they attain height of 400 feet, with cir
cumference of some 80 feet. They embrace
a vast and dense forest, forming an unbrok-
en- belt from thirty to forty miles in length,
running north and south, and from ten TO
twenty lailes in width, east and west. They
| crown the mountains of the coast range and
grow along the alluval river bottoms. Un-
der their shade are to be found the tea oak
poison oak, madrono, manzanita, buckeye,
laurel, and other trees and shrubs.
Living amid the stalwart limbs are to be
found the eagle and numerous other birds,
while they provide safe retreat for the
California lion, grizzly, wolf, wildcat, lynx,
deer and other animals. Immense quanti-
ties of these trees have been felled, yet the
lumberman's ak has scarcely made an inn
preston, and it will take years before they
are exhausted. The redwood constitutes
the principal lumber in the market, being
extensively used for building purposes. II
