A GlRL ON POTATO BUGS,
Cincinnati Enquirer.

a gentleman who9lives near our de-
lightful suburb. MOSnt Washington
has a very fine potato patch that is
greatly troubled with that terrible de.
stroyev, the potato bug. He has done
everything and tried everything to ex.
terminate the bugs, but all has proved
of no use. o
A few days since young lady friend
daughter Of ncighhor, visited his
house, and tis gentleman questioned
her as to how they got rid of the bugs
at her fathers. ~
Are you troubled much,' said he,
with the bugs at your place. ~
mo, not much," said she.
"Well, hoy do You got rid of them

lady.
"Will you please toll me, t!len,' said
the gentleman, somewhat netted at her
replies, why you are not bothered with
the bugs Oh your potatoes, as am ?
BY this time the young lady had got
up to 80, and Just as she tied her bonnet
strings and was going down the steps of
the porch, she turned and said
"Weli, lsuppose its because we ha,,.;t
got any potatoes" %

TIE COLOR OF THE SEA.

The changes in the color Of tie sea
have attracted the attention Of fseafaring
men from the earliest times. They
struck with wonder the Phduicans when
first they ventured out of the Mediter-
ranean into the Atlantic; they excited
the astOnishment Of Columbus and terri
fed his companions, while in search of
the far.famed Indies; and they are no
less q surprise to the modern navigator,
to whom the march Of discovery has left
few unexplored regions in store. One Of
the most remarkable ard most widely
distributed contrasts Of color is that
which is known to exist between the
intensely blue seas situated between the
tropics and the green seas of higher
latitudes. 1t appears as the result of
recent observations, and more especially
OF a series of experiments made on board
tue German frigate Gazelle, that there
IS an intimate relation between the color
of sea water and the proportion Of salt
held in solution by the latter. On com
pairing the specific gravity OF green water
with that Of blue water it was found
that the latter is always heavier than
the former, and, therefore, ut the same
time more salt, the two differently col
ored waters being supposed to have the
same temperature. In other words, the
greater or less intensity of the blue color
of sea water may be taken as direct
index OF it's satness and of it's specific
gravity, so that when we observe the
color of the water successively change
from deep blue to blush green and
dark green, we may conclude that the
water has become at the same time less
salty and less heavy,

Water Company to run Q fume down
there and give them clean water with q

and sluice back from the river to their
claim, and then sluics their claim, which
consists Of 100 acres, Il seems as though
that would be the way to get their gold.
Doubtless the sluicing Of the channel
back to the claim would pay the outlay.
Even with present facilities, II looks a.
though there was coin for the company
in their undertaking.
Two men just above the claim Of this
company washed out $270 In four weeks

they ought to get their money back and
