Caincident Death of Piaymates.


We are informed by gentleman Of
the following peculiar circumstance
which has taken place on Munjoy Hill
in this city within the week just passed:
Three boys, living as above, ranging in age
from to years, have been bosom friends
and companions, playing in a party by
themselves, and each striving to please the
others in every way. During the fore
part of last week one of theirDumbcr died
suddenly with Group, and his death, as
may be imagined, was sadly felt by the
remaining two. At the funeral they both,
with their parents, occupied prominent
places among the circle of moumers,
showing every symptom of deep grief at
the loss of their playmate. All at once
they began to cry violently, and on being
questioned gave a somewhat ludicrou>
answer, saying they wanted ii casket
same as - has got" A few days
after their friends burial one of the TIVE
boys sickened and died with the same
terrible disease, and at the present time
the last of the three friends lies dan
gerously i'll from the same cause.

An IDteresting Esauper

A Nantucket correspondent directs at
tention to the fact that there is living in
the Alms-house of that island a paupcr
aged eighty-six, whose early life was con-
nected with events of historical interest.
His name is Robert Rateliffc. He was
born at Newcastle-on-Tyne. At the age
of twelve he was apprenticed on board
a British transport for seven years.
During his term of apprenticeship he
was i'll a number of battles that were
fought with Denmark. At the age of
twenty he was transferred to the Bellero-
phon, the frigate which carri Napoleon
to his lonely captivity OIL the rocks of st.
Helena. He was one of squad of twelve
who were selected from II company of
seven hundred men as a special guard
over Napoleon. He remembers very well
how Napoleon looked. He says the En-
peror and exile W about five feet eight
inches in height; that he was dressed in
Il green coat, close-ftting breechcs, wore
his military hat and had decoration on
his left breast. He says that Napoleon
could be seen almost any day, while on
the voyage to st. Helena, leaning against
a gun, with his hat under his arm, chat
ting with the officers of the frigate.
| When the vessel arrived at st. Helena,
Mr.. Ratclitfe was among the three hun
dred men who were sent ashore from the
frigate to build Napoleon's house al
Longwood. He says that Napoleon ap.
peared to take his fate with as much
fortitude and composure as could be ex
pected under the circumstances-whicl
is very philosophical remark for :

In the early times of Archimedes, the
great mathematician, $50 years before
Christ, wheel work was made to move
by springs and weights to impel equal
motion at equal times. From this mo-
tive power first sprung the clock for
keeping time. which was used in Europe
as early as the eleventh century, and the
invention OF which was due to the
Saracens.
A clock that would strike the hours
was known rs early as 1921. There was
a clock in Dover Castle, Eng, in 1913.
From the large public clocks sprung the
small family clocks of all kinds and
sizes. Clocks of different movements
were constructed with quite as much
ingenuity and intricacy 200 years ago as
at the present time.

it soon grew out of use for reason of its

BIG PROJECTS.
Turning the 0xuS River into the Caspian
Sea. and Connecting the Caspian aud
Black seas with Canal.

DIhNh JNhS WIN ~ NdHdls
On Sept. 9th the announcement was
made by cable that arrangements for
the expedition to Central Asia to invest
| igate the practicability of converting the
Amu-Daria and causing it to flow into
the Caspian Sea, have been completed.
The expedition has been divided into
three attachments, of which two will be
sent to Krasnovodsk and Khiva re-
spectively, and the third will examine
the river and delta. The latter has al
ready started, but the departure of the
others has been postponed until Janu-
airy in consequence of the disturbed
condition of the Turcoman steppes."
The task appears to be not so difficult
as would appear at the first glimpse.
The Russians work with marvellous en-
ergy. Only the other day the Moscow
News published letter from Tchikislar
showing the character of the work the
Russian expeditions in Central Asia are
occasionally employed in. The river
Attrak, it is therein said, has reverted
to its former channel. In former times
this river fell into the Caspian not far
from the Bay of Hassan-Kullin, about
twelve yersts from Tchikislar, but nine
years ago, in consequence of the Rus
slams having taken possession of Kras-
novodsk, the Turcoman's, with enor-
nous efforts, constructed dixie or dam
near Bent, at distance of about sixty
versts from the mouth of the Attrak,
and by this means diverted it through
the region of their winter quarters.
Some months ago, however, Gen. Las
aref sent out an exploring party under
Col. Shelkovnikof to examine the old
river channel, the result being an order
to dig through the Bent embankment
to the end that the Attrak might return
to its previous channel? About two
thousand men from Turkoman tribe,
interested also in the restoration of the
stream to its former course Tor perhaps
compelled thereto by the Russians) J,
were set to work, and in four days in
the second week of June last succeeded
in removing tie obstrncting dam. The
Russians hope that the Attrak may at
some future time even be brought to
Tchikislar; but the circumstance, at any
rate, that the river is now flowing in its
previous channel, greatly facilitates the
eastward or Merv-ward advance of the
present expeditionary force by obviat-
ing march of several days through
waterless desert"

gentleman with whom ] conversed n
few days ago assured me that he had
succeeded in making syrup in such an
amount that he is satisfied he could
make $50 gallons per acre. This was
from corn grown for selling in its green
state, and very profitable crop OF ears
was sold to the factories for canning.
The next year the factories reduced the
price paid for green corn so low that my
friend concluded not to grow any, and
his project for combining the growing
of green corn and the making Of syrup
had TO be gwen up. But whenever

important part of most condiments. All
