're,,,

Last season, ending in January, 1873,
the exports Of green teas from China to
the United States aggregated about 49,
00O, 1000 pounds, while this season, just
closed, it will not exceed $4,000 900
pounds; IL reduction in quantity OF
about three per cent. On the first Of
January the stock of Shanghai, accord
ing to the mail adviccs, was only % 900
half chest, of 60 pounds weight each or
,420. 900 pounds, and these have since,
according to the cable advises, been
! bought up, so the Shanghai market Is
now closed. The short crop has
already advanced three per cent, and
further advances on the present mar
ket prices are indicated by all the large
importers of tea. The quantity Of Con-
gou teas exported this season from
China to the United States was less
than ZOO, 900 pounds as against 2,0OO,-
600 pounds last season. The cause of
the short crop arises from the policy of
the Chinese to lessen the product ion.
Tea importers say that the Chinese are
shrcwd and longhcadcd, no matter what
others may say about them. They
found that large sales did not always
produce corresponding profits, and
that the cheap prices ut which tea had
been sold in former seasons had not
paid for the cultivation. They there
fore apparently resolved to lessen the
amount produced, and pay more at
tcntion to the quality. The result has
been large decrease in the supply but
he fine chops are said to be better and
the quality far superior to that of for
her seasons. The unexpected short
supply has caused many Of the tea buy
efs in China to find the market closed
without having secured the quantity Of
tea required by them. The supply of
Japans, although larger this season
than the last, will not compensate for
the reduction OF the crop from China,
Statistics recently received show that
the crop exported this year amounts to
about "a 900 900 pounds as compared to
20,000,O0O pounds received last season
AT the last mail advice the stock on
hand at Yokohama was very small and
good medium to fine has advanced
from three to five cents per pound ut
port. There has been general adj
vance on the best kinds Of Japan tea of
from II to l5 per cent, and Il CORES
ponding advance may be expected, and
has partially taken place in the mar
kets. The mixing Of teas has already
been adopted by some of the import
ers, and JapanS have been mixed
with China teas to take the place Of the
shortened crop. Tie fact will help 10
keep up the prices Of the Japans, even
if the increased importations had no,

reduced supply. 1t is asserted that

Spider EnEineerlng,

On going round the garden, per-
ceived what seemed small piece of
cheese apparently floating L.. .hc air
straight before me. On coming up to
1t, found that 1t was suspended from
a. SPIDERS web, which was spun right
across tho path. The first hasty
thought was that this spider had found
piece. Of cheese below, and, taking u
fancy to 1t, was then drawing it up into
its web to eat 1t. Further examination
however, showed that the substance
was not cheese, but small pebble
much resembling that edible, evidently
taken from the gravel walk beneath.
There was nothing for the spider to at
tach his web to on the walk, so he had
selected suitable stone to balance
his web being attached to trees on eth
CT side Of the walk, and weighted be-
low by the stone, so as to be IN nearly

Hare and Hounds,

The hunt of hare and hounds ls thus dcs-
cribcd by an American patron of the sport:
GA place of rendezvous having been agreed
upon, the members assemble for 'thc
meet a couple are selected as 'the
harcs, the rest of the club form 'thc pack
of hounds. a start is allowed the harcs IN
advance of the pack-in a 'slow hunt of
10 minutes; in a fast hunt, of 80 minutes.
'Thc lIares' carry with them bags contain
ing pieces of white paper. At certain
distance from the meet is the throw off, ,
Upon arriving here, 'thc hares' begin
throwing out pieces of paper, which is
the scent The time having elapsed, the
pack start under the lead of the master of
the hunt, who is likewise, the pace max
er.' Upon finding the scent the Tally
ho!' is given, the pack carrying hunting
horns sung over their shoulders. Then
the chase cnsucs across meadows, ploughed
fields, through woods, over hills, bitches,
brooks, stone walls, and fences, after the
flying harcs, who drop 'thc scent at each
100 yards a certain number of hours are
fixed, at the expiration of which, if 'thc
harcs' are not run down, the hunt is
brought to an end. In slow hunt the en-
tire pack keep together under the lead of
the pace maker This ia the most popu-
lar, as IL gives the poorest runner chance
until 'the finish, when break is made,
and hard race cnsucs for the honor of be-
ing first at 'the death In Il fast hunt a
racing pace is maintained throughout, and
the slow men arc soon left miles behind" >"
This description is merely brief outline;
and, in referring to it, Bells Life COM
mcnts on the commission of all mention of
"falses,' and says Americans will find the
hunting horns rather in the way. "The
Westchestcr uniform Of Il scarlet jacket and
black jockey cap, velvet leggings, and the
black velvet collars and cuffs, and cap with
gold tasscl of the master of the hunt will
also hardly be suitable for bad weather and
ploughcd fields, unless, indeed, the compc-
titors put on fresh uniforms each time, and
we think that after while they will have
to come down to the more scrvicnhlc rough
jersey and ordinary university drawers in
vogue with our packs"

Il perpendicular position. The stone
was connected with the web by three
fold cord, the strands Of which were at
tached to different parts of the stone.
| visited the web two or three hours af-
ter the spider had finished it, and
found that his ingenuity had been re-
wardcd, as the web contained, besides
II large fly, of which he was dining,
more small flies than | have ever be-
fore seen in Il web. Neither myself,
nor those Of my friends to whom j
showed the web, have ever seen any
thing of the kind before. Perhaps
your readers will be Interested in such
an example of high instinct in Il spider
and those who are more verscd In nat
ural history than myself may be able
to remember other examples Of the
same kind. That the stability of the
web depended upon the weight Of the
stone was shown when | put my hand
under the latter. The result was that
as | raised my hand the lower part Of
the web gradually collapsed, but when
tile stone was again suffered to fall
gently the web resumed its proper
shape. The web was about five feet
from the ground. Spider engineering
Is most interesting subject, and one
that l lave spent hours in studying. |
have worked out most Of the problems
In connection with it, but the weight
dodge have not as yet been able to ex-
plain. Some spiders will use ties; but
others, Of exactly the same species,
will use weight, although the cir
cumstances under which both built are
apparently similar. But how does the
spider raise the weight? This | could
never explain to my satisfaction, as
some of the weights are 80 large that
1t Is scercely possible they could lift
them by a dead lift Besides, they
will put on one, two or more weights
in few hours before wind, to fix their
structures. The industry and ingenui-
ty of the spider passes belief to all
those who have seen them at work, but
no more profitable day can be spent by
young engineer than day after a
storm In path through the gorse
watching spider rcconstrucling it's
web. This is the legitimate way Of see
ing The work done, but there are other
dodges, such as breaking down the
webs, and Watching the poor devils re-
construct them
