perhaps, yet degree nearer to the ami

deal OF cunning, and even bravery of
a certain sort. Thus, they will not only
stalk game OF the smaller kinds, but even
the lion itself, keeping carefully to lee
ward, so that their scent shall be upper
celved, and, creeping upon their bellies
to within few yards OF him, when they
will let fly one of their tiny poisoned
rows, and the doom OF the king of the
beasts Is sealed. In hunting the ostrich,
they contrive to get sufficiently near it
under cover OF screen made of the skin
and feathers of the same bird, which
they advance by degrees, moving the
heod or neck cleverly, in imitation of
one of them feeding. And yet it seems
as if it ought not to. be so absolutely i'm

Gas-light BuOys.


That the buOys when mark channels

trials took place in August Isst at tbe
Trinity wharf, when the light lasted uu-
lnterrOptedly for twenty-eight days.
Water was pumped upon it by steam
engine. TO see what would be the effect
Of the shock and drenching, and no harm
was done. The buoy was then sent down
to the More, and there burned steadily
for twenty-fOur days. The same BUOY
has now lett London for It's appointed
place near Dundee. Provision has been
made Tor keeping it alignt without any
