A Water Telescope.

ACCORDING to Land and Water the
Norwegian fishermen always carry
with them on their expeditions kind Of
telescope called water telescope. This
is tube three or four feet long, with an
eye piece at one end. The other end,
which is open, is placed in the water
over the edge of the boat, and q little
practice easily enables the observer to
distinguish objects at depth of from
ten to fifteen fathoms. The fishermen
are thus enabled to discover shoals
which would otherwise 60 unnoticed.
They then give the signal, their COM
rades surround them with seines, and
they frequently make wonderful hauls
in places and under circumstances that
would never have been suspected but
for the use Of the telescope. Mr.. Frank
auckland recommends the instrument
to the English and Scotch herring fishers.

JENERAL 11ANCOCh Has WTlGL6u d lcC-
ter in reply to one from Mr.. Theodore Cook,
of Cincinnati, in reference to Southern
war claims.'' 1t was published by the As
ISOLATED Press on the 25th. In it he takes the
ground that all such claims are necessarily in
valid, and says that If he were President
he swould veto all legislation which might
come before me providing for the considera-
ton or payment Of claims of any kind for
losses or damage by persons who were in re-
bellion, whether pardoned or not"
A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Times at Dublin says: "The murder of
Lord Mountmorris has excited feelings Of
alarm little short of panic among the re-
spectacle classes. Party differences are for
the time discarded in the presence of a
common and imminent danger. The
scene Of the last murder is in dis
trict which is the very center Of the
land agitation, and is the result of commu
nistic conspiracy Of the worst type. The
country is fast drifting into anarchy. The
arm Of authority seems paralyzed, and the
executive utterly helpless. Although at
present the panic is felt most keenly by land
owners, it is shared by the employers of
labor, who see the growth Of q refractory
spirit among the subordinate class. Peacea-
BILE and well-disposed people are now
alarmed and anxiously look for some action
on the part Of the Government"

THE DAIRY.

A GENTLEMAN being asked what was
the great point in cheesemaking, an
swered: "hnowing when to dip" By
what he meant to say:" Knowing when
to salt" There is another point equal
ly essential, and that is to get the whey
out of the curds and also out of the
cheese. The first can be done by fine
cutting and few other close points;
the second by proper hopping and press
ing, both of which are much neglected.
AN establishment in New York State
has commenced canning butter. The
butter is bought unsalted from the
farmers in the neighborhood. This is
as vet an experiment., but If it succeeds
we may expect to have butter-canning
factories spring up all over the West.
The butter is made very salt at the fac
tory and is packed in cans holding from
one to forty-eight pounds. The endeav-
or is to seal the cans so that the air is
entirely excluded. .....
DIFFICULT CHURNING.-When milk
or cream is permitted to become sour
until whey separates, the butter is hard
to churn. for the reason that the fat is
made into an emulsion by mixture with
the Tactic acid and some alcohol which
exists in the milk. The cream then
foams in the churn or the small butter
will not gather. The best thing to do
then is to put into the churn quart of
ice-cold water with a teaspoonful of
soda dissolved in it. But it is better to
prevent this by keeping the milk and
cream cold, churning before the cream
is too sour, or by adding little soda or
salt to the cream and stirring it.
SINCE the increase of creameries in
New York State occasioned q largely
augmented and regular supply of milk
the profit derived from milch cows has
correspondingly grown, and the same
results are promised in Pennsylvania.
Forty years ago an average yield of
three hundred pounds of cheese per an
mum for each COW of q herd, at q profit
of $15 per head, was considered very
satisfactory now, however, q much
heavier yield and largely increased
profit are obtained. A herd Of Rerki-
mer County COWS short time ago
yielded as much as 635 pounds of cheese
each, and produced an average annual
profit of $S1. IS per rhead.-Germanto,On
Telegraph. . ...
CONSIDERABLE more white cheese is
being made in New York State this year
than ever before, for the reason that
it has usually been in good demand and
brought a slightly better price than col
ored. But the fact is that white cheese
must be very perfect in order to fetch
the best price. If it is at all faulty, it
will not be worth as much by one to
two cents per pound as colored cheese
of the same grade. The market to
which white cheese goes is very crit
ical one. and the slightest timperfections
are noticed and have a serious bearing
upon price. London and Manchester
are the two principal markets for the
sale of white cheese, and shippers say
that there is surplus this year which
can not be used in those cities. This
makes them more critical than ever,
and places the makers of white stock
at great disadvantage unless their
cheese is of the very choicest quality.

The President of the London An
thropological Institute has attempted
the solution of the long-standing and
perplexing question of the means en-
ployed by ancient people to lift the
huge stones which now stand as mono
liths or in groups as tombs and tenn
Piles. Some of the hill tribes still erect
big stones as memorials, and it is re-
ported that the members of one of these
tribes recently carried stone weighing
twenty tons up high hill in the course
of few days. The ponderous block
was inclosed in a large wooden frame
work, so arranged that large number
of men could lift at the same time, and
in this simple way it was borne to the
hilltop, q height of 1000 feet. 1t is
easy to believe that the ancients NAV
have practiced this primitive engineer
ing.

Prof. TAFT, of Edinburgh, contends
that people must be mistaken in suppos-
ing they see lightning flash ascend or
descend. The duration of a ahghtning
flash is less than the millionth part of q
second, and the eye can not possibly fol-
low movements of such extraordinary
rapidity. He thinks that the origin of
the mistake may be found in the fact
that the central parts of the retina are
more sensitive, by practice, than the
others, and therefore that the portion of
the dash which is seen directly affects
fash very naturally fancies that end to
be its starting point.

belonging to family in which there is
smallpox to pick up the disease and
