RULES FOR LADIES TRAVELLING
ALONE.

From time to time we read Of mishaps
meeting women travelling alone, till it
sometimes seems as if it were utterly un-
safe for woman TO travel alone. Still,
women mnst travel, and very often, alone,
and by exercise of due caution and fore
sight there is no reason why it should
not be perfectly safe for them to do SO.
There are q few rules which, if followed,
it seems, would save world of anxiety and
trouble.
1. Before starting on journey familiar
ize yourself with the route, and with names
of good hotels at the various stopping
places.
2. Never travel with just enough money,
but always carry enough to provide for any
possible emergency This will save much
anxiety.
3. Wear but little jewelry, and keep the
larger part of your money in some inside
pocket, out of sight.
4. Always look after yourself, and do not
allow stranger to procure your tickets OF
checks for your baggage.
8. Avoid, if possible, making changes in
cars by night; but, when unavoidable, go
with others Do not become separated
from the crowd.
G. Take no hacks, but go in an omni.
bus where there are other people. These
are perfectly safe.
7. If in any doubt as to changing cars,
checking baggage, ETC., inquire in advance
of the conductor The conductors on our
trains are always polite and willing to be
of service, especially to women travelling
alone.
8. Do not wait till about to make some
change in train before inquiring of the con.
ductor, for, ten to one, he will then be
hurried, and you will only half inform
yourself.
o. Under all circumstances endeavor to
retain your presence of mind. One who
can do this will have no trouble travelling
and, instead of its being unwise for womer
10 travel alone, think it an advantage fol
them to make trips alone, for there are few
people who are not at times obliged to dc
SO, and experience does away will
much Of the possible danger in travel
ing.

INSTINCT OF A CRAB.

Mr. Darwin, in his "Natural SITS voy-
age" thus describes crab which makes it's
diet of cocanuts, and which he found on
Kneeling Island, in the South Seas.
"It is common on all parts of dry land,
and grows to a monstrous size. 1t has q
a pair of front legs, terminated by strong
and heavy pincers; and the least pair of
others which are narrow and weak. 1t
would at first be thought quite impossible
for crab to open strong cocoanut COW
cred with the husk; but Mr.. Liesk assures
me he has repeatedly seen the operation
effected. The crab begins by tearing the
husk, fibre by fibre, and always from that
end under which the three eyeholes are
situated. When this is completed the
crab commences hammering with its heavy
claws on one Of these eyeholes till an OPEN
ing is made; then turning round its body
by the aid of it's narrow pair Of pincers, it
extracts the white albuminous substance.
I think this is as curious a case of instinct
as ever heard Of, and likewise of adapta-
ton in structure between two objects ap-
parently 10 remote from each other in the
scheme Of nature e. o crab and COCOA
nut"

In England, there has been a society
formed called the Mourning Reform Asso-
citation; the members adopting the broad
ground that funerals should be conducted
and mourning worn without the unmeaning
pomp, vain ostentation, and dismal pagean-
try of hat-bands, scarves, plumes, mourn
ing coaches, heavy Grape trimmings, and
the like, which involve improbable ex-
penditure, infict severe hardships upon per,
sons of limited means, and neither mitigate
grief nor manifest respect for the dead.

FUN IN COURT.

Some years ago case was on trial be-
fore the Supreme Court of Maine, in one
of the Eastern countries, in which the
plaintiff sought to recover compensation for
an alleged injury to his fishing privilege,
occasioned by the erection of milldam by
the defendants. The testimony on the
part of the plaintiff was clear and conclu-
sive, and it was supposed the case would
be submitted to the jury without the pro-
duction of any witnesses by defendants, but
after some consultation their counsel calico,
an old, rough, weather-beaten fisherman,
who was interrogated as to the habits of
the salmon, and the effect Of the dam. He
stated, among other things, that he had
known salmon to ''go up right over a
dam fifteen feet perpendicular !"
"What is that, Mr.. Witness?" said the
Judge; ''do understand you to say that
salmon will go over dam fifteen feet per-
pendicular ?"
"Why, sartin ! Your honor don't know
no more about them are fish than child.
Why, look here, your honor, I live on q
pint of land at makes eoutt into the river
SO drawing q map on the witness box),
and ye see, the salmon going up have to
go clear round this here pint. Wal, your
honor, the fish coming up the river, spite
ful-like when they get off agin my house,
leap clear across, right over my house and
barn, hundred and fifty feet at least, your
honor. I've picked up fat ones, your
honor, too heavy to fetch across, many o
time"
The court listened in mute astonishment,
but the next moment the peremptory
order:
"Mr Sheriff, put that man out of the
house." was heard above an irrepresSible
burst of laughter.

THE relative advantages of steel and
iron for boilers have been the ubiect of
much discussion and experiment, by which
the superiority of the former in respect to
strength and durability and the advantage
in weight, has been clearly established; but
its claims to superior economy-remarks
the Scientific An,eriedn-do not seem to
have been SO convincingly advocated as to
induce its substitution in any considerable
degree for iron. Most of the users of boilers
are ready to admit that the steel boiler is
more durable and less liable to fracture
and explosion because of the homogeneity
of the metal, but they are not sufficiently
assured that these advantages offset its
higher cost.

AN ingenious hydraulic cleaner for ships
bottoms has been successfully operated
with in Glasgow. The apparatus consists
of a small portable hydraulic machine and
keel catcher, and on the machine is placed
a rotating brush, which is put in motion by
a turbine, canvas hose connecting the
turbine with hand or donkey pump. The
keel catcher will travel and retain its hold on
any curved stem, or straight keel, by means
of conically shaped india rubber rollers,
which are moved either forward or aft by
means of an endless rope from the deck.
In commencing the operation, the keel
catcher is adjusted to the stem of the ves-
sci, above the water line, and lowered by
the pulling of the endless rope. The ma
chine, moved toward the keel by the rope
passing through the keel catcher, will, ow-
ing to the up-drift buoyancy, press the re-
volving brush againt the ships side, what
ever its shape, and clean it effectually.
When the machine is felt to have reached
the keel, the rope attached to its tail pulls
it upward After it has reached the water
line, the operation is repeated, the keel
catcher and pulling ropes being shifted the
length of the brush nearer the stern, SO
that fresh strip of the hull is cleaned. In
this way, the machine works up and down,
until it reaches the stern, and when one
side of the vessel is cleaned the machine is
attached to the other side and worked as
before.

IT is within only comparatively recent
period-so novel is the whole subeet-that
the existence of deep water world was
ever suspected No life, it was held, could
exist in that total darkness under a pres
sure of water SO enormous that, as it has
been expressed, man at 1000 fathoms'
depths would bear on his body a weight
equal to twenty locomotive engines, each
with long goods train loaded with pig
iron. Had the disciples of such q theory
known, likewise, that living creatures down
below would have to contend with all but
freezing cold, they would have seemed to
themselves even more justified than they
actually were in their mistake, It is diff
cult at first, to conceive this certain rule,
when it is applied to water under immense
pressure-the idea being that water, in such
case, must stiffsn or harden, unmindful that
it remains-being all but incompressible-
as liquid as ever, and that its particles, so
far as is known, slide freely over each
other at thousands of fathoms' dopth as at
the surface.

ARRANGEMENTS are being made at some
of the English iron furnaces for utilizing
the waste product of the same-or slag-in
the manufacture of some cheap varieties of
glass. 1t is asserted that while such ma
terial is untitled for the production of per-
fectly white glass owing to the amount of
iron which it contains-yet for all glass in
which a tinge of color is either desired or
not detrimental, which of course includes
a large percentage of all the glass that is
made, the Stag will be found quite well
adapted; indeed, the percentage of iron
which it contains is to be considered al
beneficial, since, being capable, as is vel
known, of replacing other fuxes, it will to
this extent lessen the amount of alkali that
would otherwise have to be employed.

favorable canal line across any portion of
the Darien Isthmus, and insists, further,
upon his oft-repeated statement, that no
route exists that could be executed for less
than about $500, ,OoO,o 900. He favors the
cutting of direct line from the Gulf of
San Bias, on the Atlantic, to the mouth of
the river Bayano, on the Pacific; this is
not more than thirty Ave miles long, and
would require ship tunnel possibly ten
miles long.

call for the State Convention as
follows:
"The Republicans Of Pennsylvania,
and all others in favor Of honest cur
rency and the faithful discharge of
National obligations, and opposed to
communism and the restoration to
power in the National Government of
the influences which procured the re-
bellion of 1861, are requested to send

than this experienced by the Coufed.
crate party, as the outcome of a three
months session.
Senator Beck, Of Ky, wants author
ity Of Congress to head committee
to investigate our revenue system and
sit during the recess. Mr.. Beck is
not the man to point out the defects
in our revenue system or make cor.
rections. He has but one idea, and
that is the Bourbonistic one of ending
all Republican legislation. What he
wants chiefly is to get a cut at our
tariff laws, not to amend but to
destroy them. After his exhibitions
of partisanship this session, his scheme
is not one to encourage the country.
1t may have been noticed that the
Grecnbackers lately have been voting
with the Republicans against the
coercive policy oftho democrats. They
are ready in fact to vote for the appro-
priations without qualification. This
change is not that they love the Repub-
licans more but democrats less. There
is breach between the democrats and
their old allies, the Greenbackers,
growing out of the shabby treatment
of the latter by the former. This
breach is growing wider and wider
not only here but in the States where
canvasses are going on this summer.
The democrats have BEEN usiNg the
Greenbackers TO promote their own
interests, and the trick has been dis
covered in time to infict much dam
age to the democratic prospects in
Maine and Ohio particularly.
