FISH MAPS. Prof. II. y. Hind has re-
ceived at the Paris Exhibition the award
OF gold medal for his very interesting
and instructive fish maps" These maps
comprehend the summer and winter fish

and halibut, over an extent of coast
stretching from Cape Cod at one eXtrem-

at the other, forming a series of six maps.
Besides these are two large sized maps
showing the marine physics of the Do
minion and Newfoundland seas; the sum-

farmers are capitalists. But without ad-
ditional capital many might, no doubt,
derive better living from the soil, if
they could be brought to realize the fact
that one acre we'll titled will yield more
than two half titled. With abundant
capital, the most sterile soil, as expert
ence has shown, may be made to blossom
as the rose. The most stubborn clay yields
to under draining; swamps are trans
formed into fertile meadows and sandy
soil, by a judicious use Of fertilizers is
made to yield a bountitu harvest. Cap

railroads and manufacturing enterprises
seems likely now to be diverted to the
development of agriculture. The war

The New York Tribune reports an in
terview with Hon. Eugene Hale lie
said that the Greenback craze in Maine
was largely aided by the hard times The
farmers also joined in the movement with
out waiting to reflect on the result of its
success. Communism also had large
share in the canvass. The result only
convinced him of the necessity of making
bold and determined fight on the hard
money basis. The financial education of
the country has been greatly neglected
the last 20 years. Mr.. Hale thought that
the other New England States were to a
large extent in the same situation as
Maine One noticeable feature in the
movement was that it did not last. The
strength of the Greenback element in
Maine this year was the greatest where it
had the least strength last year, and in
three counties where they polled the most
votes last year, they met with the least
success this year. The people have be-
come educated.

THE NILES SINGING STATUE.

A traveller with General Grant in the
East thus tells Of this giant: All that
lis left of Memnonism are the two CO.
lossal statues, the one to the north be-
ing the statue that, according to the
historians and priests, used to utter q
sound every morning when the SUN
rose. The statue is silent enough now,
and is 9 monolith about. fifty feet high.
a good part of the baseis buried in the
earth, but they loom UP over the plain
as, in fact, we did sac them--miles
and miles, away. You may have an
idea of the size when you know that
the statue measures IS feet, 3 iRGhas
across the shoulders, is feet 6 inches
from the top of the shoulders to the ell
bow, and the other partitions of the body
in due proportions. No trace can be
found of the cause of the vocal sRnrise
phenomenon. One theory is that the
priests used to climb into a recess in
the body OF the statue and perform a
juggler's trick. I do net think SCI badly
of the Egyptian priests, who, / sappose,
were good men in their way, and not
charlatans. You might find one priest
in a multitude capable of climbing into
a recess and calling upon the people to
pay pew-rent or tithes, or something Of
the kind. But this sound continued
for generations and / do not believe
you could find generations Of priests
carrying ON the deception for years and
years, so [ dismiss that theory and take
another which Brugsch explains to us.
The statue would be moist with dew
at sunrise, and the suns rays acting
upon the dew would cause it to emit a
sound like an Interrupt, ed chord Of mu-
sic just such Il sound as you hear
from a sea shell if you hold it to your
ear. AS the sun is sure to shine every
morning on these plains, you could be
certain that such a phenomenon would
occur daily [ can well imagine how a
freak of nature might be taken as the
voice Of the gods, and how humble
priests would bow down to it, and not
enter into scientific speculations. At
ter the statue had been tossed by an
earthquake and riven, the music ceas-
ed, which only confirms me in doing
justice to the poor priests.
