While in the last named land, the
explorers observed many wild geese
and other waterfowl flying south
ward. Some of the geese stopped at
the place where the ship lay and sew
eral were killed by members of the
crew. In the crops of some of these
geese he remembers to have seen, and
marveled at seeing, a considerable
quantity Of grain such as the new &C.
real of Surprise Valley is said to be.
As 10 such grain is known in the
temperate zone, and as we have no
account Of a grain of the kind being
found in any known region of the
world, he is Of the opinion that the
geese obtained it IN a region lying
about the open polar sea.
He says no man has yet gone SO
far north but he has found wild geese
and other water fowl flying still fur
Their to the northward. As these
geese are undoubtedly vending their
way to we'll known stopping place
far to the north, there must be some
thing for them to feed upon at the
point where they stop. AS wild
geese no more live on fish than do
tame ones, there must be, i'll the coun-
try to which they go, grass and 9TH
er vegetation similar to that found
in temperate zones. The wild geese
that halt on the Pacific coast make
the grain field their feeding place,
and it is not likely that in the land
about the Pole their nature is so
changed that they feed on MOSES or
fish.

Vinegar Bees.

An experiment doubly worth max
ing, because Of the continuing amuse-
ment which it affords, and because of
its practical value, in that of making
vinegar in a glass jar set in a warm
window. About two large table
spoontuls of molasses or brown sugar
is put into the jar, with a little yeast,
and is then filed UP with warm water,
and by the next day an active eyolu-
ton of gas will set in; and in warm
summer weather the fermentation
will close, and thoroughly good vine
gar be made in less than week. In
the winter even in a warm room, cool

or four weeks. The am --.-ss or
the operation arise from the move
ments of the feculous matter or sedl-
ment. Bubbles Of the gas adhere to
crumbs of it, and carry them up to
the surface, where the gas escapes
leaving the crumbs to decend, ard
the liquid is continually full of these
ascending and descending bees,
which seem as active as if endowed
with lite. They have so nearly the
same specific gravity as the sweeteped
water that very small adherent
bubble of gas sufficies to raise them,
and their speed is often accelerated
bv an increase of the volume of the
bubble during their ascent Indeed,
so rapidly is the gas given off under
warm sunshine, that volleys Of bright
bubbles shoot up, often throwing the
feculn upward like stones from a
volcano.
These crumbs Of feculous matter
are rounded and washed by their
passage through the liquid. as pebbles
are in stream, and thus they get
the figure of an insect, which, com
bined with the alert motion, imposes
upon some good housewives SO far az
to make them insist that they are
living creatures. They form the best
yeast for propagating the ferment

A Novel Brick Kiln.

Stories are common enough Of ma
chimes which receive live pig at one
end and deliver him in the shape Of
sausages and salt pork at the other
in incredibly short time, but to be-
lieve that car of moist bricks can
be pushed into a kiln, and in four or
five hours be drawn out at the other
end perfectly baked and cool enough
to handle, requires an effort. Yet it
is said that at Normanton, England,
Mr.. Foster has such kiln, and that
it works perfectly. The kiln is lit
tie more than one hundred feet long
.andi only eight feet broad. A track
is laid through this kiln, on which
travel iron cars, whose iron work is
protected from the fire by burned
clay, by the current of fresh air which
is drawn under them by the draught,
and by not being fully exposed to its
fury, in that the cars are on a lower
level than it. This fire is in the mid
ole Of the kiln, on either side Of the
track, and as the chimney flue is at
the entrance end, the fire is drawn to
meet the entering car, with its load
Of 5000 raw bricks, and thus gives
them preliminary drying and bak-
ing before they are exposed to the
full heat of the fire, and also allows
them to begin to cool off as soon as
they have passed the middle The
kiln will contain nine cars-or, in
other words, $4,000 bricks-and as
the bricks are unloaded from the cars
directly into wagons, the progress
OF the line of cars is slow enough to
allow the bricks to cool thoroughly
. after passing the fire. There seemed
to be very little heat wasted, for the
cars are just the width Of the open
ing Of the kiln, and their load OF
bricks reaches quite to the top of the
arched passage. At any rate, as the
cost of burning 1000 brick is said to
be less than six cents, the process
cannot be called an expensive one.

the like of which he had never before

The Gold that Wears.

AHS NVAN tuat WChEbs
We parted one eve at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And promised my love to come back 10 hei
Ere the pleasant autumn weather.
That we twain might wed
When the leaves we're red,
Andlive and love together.
She cut me tress from her nut-brown hair
As l kissed her lips Of cherry,
And gave her ring OF the old-time gold
With stone like the mountain berry
As clear and blue
As her eyes were true
Sweet eyes, so bright and merry!
"The wealth Of my love is all have
To give you, she said, in turning;
The gold that wears-like the radiant stars
In yonder blue vault burningp
And took the trust,
As a mortal must,
Whose soul for love is yearning.
Fate kept us apart for many years,
And the blue sea rolled between us,
Though kissed each day the nut. brown tress
And made fresh VOWS to Venus
Till I sought my bride,
And Fate defed,
That had failed from love to wean US.
found my love at the garden gate
When the dew was on the heather,
And we twain we're wed at the little kirk
In the pleasant autumn weather,
And the gold that wears
Now soothes my cares,
As we live and love together.

A Tight Rope Walkers Fall.

Prof. Bond, tight-rope walker, re-
Gently announced that he would walk
across rope, fifty feet from the ground,
at Catasauqua, Pa. Tt was noticed that
Bond was drinking considerable in the
afternoon, and toward evening was slight
intoxicated. He was advised not to at
tempt the perilous feat, but he was de-
termined to fulfill his announcement,
and said that if he fell off the rope and
broke his neck it would be his own neck
that he broke. He made the ascension
from one of the American Hotel windows,
and successfully walked overto the other
end. Then he began to walk backward,
and when within about ten feet of the
American Hotel-the starting point--he
slipped, Lost his balance, and, amid a
shout of horror from the assembled
spe ectators, fell to the pavement below.
In the fall he struck the outer branches
of trees, which was standing at the side
of the pavement under the rope. His
head came first and struck the curbstone,
fracturing his skull. One of his legs
was also broken at the knee. His en-
tire body was badly bruised, and his in
ternal injuries were of the most serious
character. He was unconscious and
bleeding badly, and was taken into the
American. A physician was summoned,
who pronounced the injuries of such q
nature that the unfortunate man would
not be able to live any length Of time
Intense excitement prevailed.

Words Of Wisdom.

You cannot dream yourself into a
character you must hammer and forge
yourself one.
Beware of judging hastily it is bet
ter to suspend an opinion than to retract
an assertion.
Alas if the principles are not with
us, the height of station and worldly
grandeur will as soon add cubic to a
mans stature as to his happiness.
What is even poverty itself, that a
man should murmur under it? 1t is
but as the pain Of piercing maiden's
ear, and you hang precious. jewels in the
wound,
We cannot study our hearts too fire.
quently or too closely. Every day a
new lesson is to be learned, and one
which may surprise if not confound us.
No man ever prospered in the world
who did not know something of the
human heart. 1t is knowledge neces-
sary to, and added to perseverance and
industry, is the key to success in life.

EDISON OUTDoING HIMSELF.
= Trumpet with which the Human
Voice Way be Heard Two Miles
s.Ynv
[From the New York Sun.

The Telescopopohone is the name of
Mr.. Edison's latest invention. 1t is sim
ply marvellous ear trumpet. upon the
construction of which Mr. Edison has
been working for several months. Mr..
Edisons attention was attracted to the sub
ject by his own deafness. He is enabled
to hear only when the speaker enunciates
in loud tone. Mr.. Edison is 10th to de-
scribe the teleseopopohone except gener-
ally, as 1t is not completed, and is to be
patented. The implement is about five
and half feet long, and has an internal
arrangement by which sound is concen-
trated and made louder. A sound which
to the unaidcd ear is inaudible, becomes
distinct by the use of the telescopopohone.
Concerning it Mr.. Edison said:
The telescopopohone is assure1ly sue
ces full. | have demonstrated that by its
use not only can those partly deaf hear
but persons can talk while mile OF two
apart
Bat do not other sounds commingle-
sounds intervening between the speaker
and the hearer?'
q Certainly they do to limited extent,
and more SO if the instruments are not
straight.
. How do you remedy that?'
Why, YOU must point EN- straight.
The same objection could be made to a
telescope. If you do not point it straight
You see other objects than the one intend
Ell. But, when the teleseopopohone is
pointed directly at the distant speaker with
t,loscopic exacness, the voice of the speak
er is the chief thing heard
. Does it increase the volume Of sound?
81 have whispered in one OF these things
in very low tone, and the sound in my
ear was so loud AS to b. absolutely painful.
Mr.. Edison expressed the fullest conf
dance that he would perfect the telescope
pohone so that by its aid partly deaf per
sons may hear every whisper ON the stag
of the largest theater.
gentleman who heard experiments
with the telescopopohone said that Mr.
Edison heard distintly the ticking of s
teleSraphic instrument a thousand feet
away, and even the noise Of the chowinE
and biting Of grass by COW nearly twC
thousand feet distant.
One of the party then stood six hundred
feet away, and his whisper was distinctly
heard, although Mi, Bachelor standing
only fifteen feet from him, without the aid
Of the telescopopohonc could not hear d
word
Tlen the party tried more striking ex-
pertinent. Two OF them went at least q
mile OF, and talked 10 each other in an
ordinary tone of voice. Even at that dis
tance ordinary conversation was distinctly
heard without a speaking tube, without
any wire or electrical apparatus, but simply
by the aid Of the new ear trumptet or tel
escopop0hone.
But even this was surpassed by the next
experiment, which was at distance esti-
mated at two miles. From that point the
ordinary tone Of voice could NOT be heard
and shouting was necessary, yet the new
ear trumpet did its work, and the hearing
was repeated as before.
Now, MI. Edison. what NEXT"
"Oh," said Mr.. Edison with enc of those
hearty bursts Of laughter that he so often
tndulSeS in, I've not got to the end yet. -
