The seventh annual meeting Of Wis
consin dairymen, held in Kenosha,
January 22d and 23d, was largely at
tended by both the greater and lesser
lights of the guild, which in the aggre-
gate were really a distinctive assem-
blage. Not only able speakers from
abroad, but delegates from all over the
State, radiated much practical and sci
entific light on the dairy question !;
while those who came to learn took a
lively interest in the papers read and
in the spirited discussions following
each and manifested an earnest inquiry
after the available information so
many experienced dairymen were able
to give. Those facts show in a degree
the growing Importance of the bust
ness, and the necessary and increasing
intelligence of the farmer which the
times demand, not in dairying alone,
but in ali the other branches of farm
ing, if he would become a successful
dairyman or farmer Indeed it seems
not an extravaganza thing to say, that
if the farmer will keep abreast Of the
times, live and learn and act what he
knows, that the day is not far distant,
if 1t has not already dawned, when his
skill and intelligence "shall lift up his
lead; and in sight of great men he
shall be in admiration"

A. G. Sinclair's elegant new resi-
dence on the Park, narrowly escaped
destruction by fire last Friday after
noon. Owing to good construction and
timely assistance the flames were con-
fined to the attic and little injury was
sustained by the external walls. The
interior was much damaged by water,
and much valuable furniture destroyed
by careless handling. The origin Of
the fire is as yet somewhat mysterious.
A gas filter had been called in to adj
just the metre, which was located on
the first floor and in the rear Of the
main stairway: He had been gone but
a few seconds when smoke was dis
covered issuing from the meter closet
and on opening the door the interior
was one mass Of fire, the lead connec-
tons had melted and gas from the
main was pouring in at a terrible rate,
from this the fire communicated with
the attic where in was eventually sub
dued. Various theories are advanced
as to how the fire started but the pre-
vailing opinion seems to be that the
gas filters negligence was the primary
cause.

The Physical Value of Singing.

Singing is one of the healthiest ex-
ercises in which men, women and chill
dren can engage. The Medical Wo-
che1aschr!ft, of st. Petersburg, has an
article based upon exhaustive researches
made by Prof. Monassein during the
autumn of 1878, when he examined
222 singers ranging between the ages of
9 and 81. He laid chief weight upon
the growth and absolute circumference
of the chest, upon the comparative re-
lation of the latter to the tallness of
the subject, and upon the pneumatic
metric and spirometric condition of
the singer. 1t appears to be an ascer-
tanned fact from DR.. Monassein's exper-
iments that the relative, and even the
absolute, circumference of chest is
greater among singers than among
those who do not sing, and that it in
creases with the growth and age of the
singer. The professor even says that
singing may be placed physically as the
antithesis of drinking spirituous liquors.

The Sinking of a Vessel by a Whale.

Since it has been generally conceded
that the fish which foundered Capt.
Larsen's bark Columbia in mid-ocean.
by humping big hole in her port bow
must have been whale, popular in
terest in the accident has palpably de-
creased. In truth, it was hardly more
the strange disaster itself than the pos
sibility of new and dangerous sea-
monster being concerned in it that ex-
cited attention-some mysterious, pow
erful submarine creature, it was hoped,
hitherto unknown and unexpected.
Hence the opinion of one of the crew
that whale struck the vessel was at
first secuted in favor of the more-se-
ductively indefinite statement of another
that it was "a huge something with fins
and tail" All the evidence, however,
is in favor of the whale theory. and it
is conceivable that big whale, going at
full speed, could stave in the planks of
an old craft like the Columbia. Had
the vessel been insured, some persons
might possibly have found ground for
suspecting voluntary scuttling, but
she is said not to be insured. Besides,
Capt. Larsen, who is a white-haired
mariner, with candid eyes, broken En-
gIish, and an honest smile, has inspired
general confidence in his veracity. It
is said that this is the first case on rec
ord of a vessel actually sunk by whale.
Perhaps it should rather BE called the
first case of a sunken vessel whose crew
escaped to tell the story. May not
more than one vessel that has sailed
and never been heard of have fallen
victim to this form of disaster ?-Nea0
