The Boy and the Wdtch-A Faote.-
Once upon a time there lived. across
the water, a great king who kleKeu M
little son into the sea because he spiiieo
his tea.
The poor boy was rescued from
drowning by beautiful fairy, TO whoIu
in his gratitude, he offered his services,
and if need be, his life.
And the fairy smiled and said he was
a generous little soul, and she gave
him a beautiful gold watch. studded
with rubies and diamonds and sap
phires, which she said she wanted HIM
to keep for her sake and the sake of her
aunt's sister, who had died many years
ago, but warned him to keep 1t wound
up, and never to part with 1t. so he
loved the fairy, and promised with his
life Ito keep the watch"
A nice little boy came to him and said
he was his brother, and that his aunt's
sisters were brothers and sisters to his
aunt's sisters; that he was going the
same way, and would like to have the
watch.-And the good little boy said,
mo, This is my watch. and 1t was given
me to keep
And the nice little boy said. 81 know
it is yours, but want it," Then the
good little boy said he " would not give
up his watch,n and became very angry,
and boiled with rage; but afterward
felt sorry for being SO angry. and told
the nice little fellow (whO said he was
his brOther), that if he thought he
ought to have il, he would let him call
in friends and see what they should say
about it.-And the nice little boy said,
"Well let us call fifteen of our friends;
you call seven and / will call eight. and
they will decide who shall have the
watch" And the poor child said "yes,"
and thought "what a good little boy
am IL and all the friends met together
and took the watch and looked at the
two boys and said, This a good little
boy, and tin watch will do for him."
Then they called him up and said.
"Bubby, wouldn't you like tin watch
to play With"
And Bubby cried and sucked his
thumb and said he was sorry he didn't
keep his nice gold watch which his
aunt's sister left him.
Then all the other boys laughed and
went away singing "Aliunde."
Then he felt deserted and alone. and
sought the good fairy who had given
him the watch, but all that ne could
see was a shrouded form, weeping
upon a tomb and bearing torn scroll,
on which he could dimly discern:

A House Building FiSh.-In lake Ny
assa, in the far interior of Africa, is a
kind of black fish which every year
builds what the natives call "a house -
In the mud at the bottom of the lake it
makes hole some two or three feet
broad, allowing the earth removed
from the hole TO form little wall
around it. The depth OF the hole and
the height of the wall measured to-
gether make small basin from fifteen
to eighteen inches deep. In this little
lake within lake the fish feels secure
from all enemies, and very quietly
keeps house until the eggs are laid,
when it becomes restless, and leaves
the house as a nursery for successors,
while it roams about again at will.-.St.

Effect Of Sunlight on FlOur.-It is
maintained, says The Milestone, that the
inferior quality of certain kinds of
wheat and rye flour is frequently dne
TO the action of sunlight on the flour;
even when in bags or barrels the
gluten experiences a change similar to
that occasiOned by heating in the mill.
The tendency thus impaired to it, to
becOm lumpy, and to form dough
without tOughness, is similar to that of
most grain, or of flour when it is too
fresh, or made from grain ground early,
or when adulterated with cheaper bar
ley meal. Such flour can be improved
by keeping some weeks.

SCIENTIFIC.

Iron Rast.-The great drawback in
the use of iron for many purposes as il
well known is its liability to rust by
exposure to the atmosphere or the ac-
ton of water. A Mr.. Barf has recently
given to the Royal Academy at London
a detailed account of experiments
which he has made, which go to show
that this disposition to rust can be en-
tirely overcome by coating the exposed
surface of the iron with its own mag
netic or black oxide.
Prof. Barf has discovered that if any
iron article is exposed, at high tenn
perature, to the action of superheated
steam, it will become covered with a
film of this black oxide, of a thickness
which is determined by the degree of
temperature and the length of expo
sure. The oxide is harder than the or
iginal iron, and adheres to it even
more firmly than the particles of iron
adhere to each other, so that there is a
gam not only in chemical. but also in
mechanical resistance.
The oxidation does not affect the
appearance of the surface in any other
way than by turning it black. In his
experiments Mr.. Barf has exposed ar
ticles thus coated to the open weather
for weeks without any change in the
surface Among the most valuable
and important of the probable applica
tions of the invention will be the pro-
lection of steam boilers and of the
plates of iron ships; and Mr.. Barf
hopes that by certain arrangements ii
will be possible to operate upon very
large manufactured articles without
its being necessary to provide heat
ing chamber large enough to contain
them.
The uses to which iron may be put
by the application of this new discovery
are innumerable.

Cotton waste is a singular example of
the successful application of scientific
utilization. 1t is the collected sweep
ings of the card room. which formly
had no value. Large heaps were suf-
fered to accumulate until it fermented,
and it was then spread over the land.
After that cartridge makers
bought it at SO to $40 per ton; then it
rose in price, and means were found to
bleach and tear it up, in order that it
might be respun and woven, and now
there is trade of 1900, 900 hundred
weights, giving employment to 500
dealers. The refuse is sold for engine
cleaning, and finally to the paper
maker. Jute is next, in which an immense
trade has been created. 1t is pro-
duct of Bengal, and formerly was used
only for gunny bags. to pack rags or
merchandise in it, but now it yields to
processes which fit it for weaving with
silk or cotton, or in the making of
thread, ropes, sail cloth, and with wool
in flannels and carpet, and with coco
anut fibre for mating, etc. During
twenty five years the consumption has
risen from 39l 900 hundredweights to
1,2J0,000 hundredweights, and the
value from Sf50,000 TO $500, 900, and
the refuse which goes into paper max
ing now equals the original import of
the raw material.

The C0LONEL's INvEsTMENT.-Our
friend, the old colonel, says the Chicago
Journal, is continually making invest
ments on a small scale, which disap-
point him in their results. He has a
spendthrift of a young nephew who
wrote to him from st. Louis, saying:
Dear Uncle: There is fellow down
here who offers to bet me 800 green
back that nobody will lend me that
amount of money. Now 1 have taken
the bet, and If you will write me a
letter inclosing draft for 500, saying
you lend ii to me, Twill divide with you
equally the 800 that 1 win from the
fellow. will send the $50 by the very
frs m mlil-sure."
He sent the young scapegrace the
800. We happened in his Office when
he opened the return letter, day or
two afterward inelosing $50. The
Colonel shook his fat sides, as he read
the nephew's missive, which ran thus ::
"Hurrahi We've won the fools
money, dear uncle. Here's your $50.
Much obliged. Yours, Tom"
''He's a reckless rogue, the boy is,
remarked the colonel. "But you see he
is honest. lie does rs he agrees-all
our family always do that"
But, Colonel" we remarked, "you
say you sent the boy $780,"
''Yes draft for $lO0-and here, you
see, he sends me my half as prompt as
the clock.
''And you say your nephew is honest,
and has done the fair thing"
''Certainly-dOn't you see ?"-here's
the $50"
'Yes, but where is the 800 you sent
him,'
The colonel's smiling face became
grave-he scratched his head-then
pulled his mustache-then looked at us
for a moment with mouth and eyes wide
open.
"Sure enough he muttered; 81
hadn't thought of that. He ought 10
have sent me $50. The young rascal
done me out of $50 clean as whistle!
Well, well! Pm an old fool that's
fact"
