Everywhere upon the coasts of Eastern
New England may be found, ten feet
below the water mark, the lichen known
rs carrageen Irish moss" of com.
merce. 1t may be torn from the sunken
rocks anywhere, and yet the little sea-
port of Scituate is almost the only place
in tbe country where it is gathered and
cured. This village is the great center
oi the moss business in the country, and
the entire Union draws its supplies
from these beaches. Long rakes are
used in tilling this marine farm, and it
does not take long TO fill the many
dories that await the lichpn, torn from
its salty, rock bed. The husbands and
fathers gather tie moss from the sea,
and the wives and daughters prepare it
Tor the market. Soak Il in water, and
1t Will melt away to jelly. Boil it in
milk, and delicious white and creamy
blanc mango is the result, The annual
product is from ten to fifteen thousand
barrels, a. q it brings $50, 900 into the
town, which sum is shared by $50 fami-
lies. It's consumption in the manufao-
ture OF lager beer is very large, and the
entire beer of the country draws its sup
plies from Scituate beaches, as the inn
portation from Ireland has almost
ceased. 1t is not generally known that
tue moss, as an article of food, is called
sea moss furina."

JealOusy OF Ants.

The jealousy of ants toward intruders
is well known. Strange queens intro
duced into their nests are very often
ruthlesslY slaughtered, yet it is believed
that communities must occasionally
adopt queens. With the view of testing
how far temporary acquaintance might
assauge dislike and passion, Sir John
Lubbock introduced n queen. protected
by wire cage, into a queenless nest,
but when the cage was removed some
days after the queen was at once at
tackled. Nevertheless, Mr.. McCook has
observed the adoption by a colony of a
fertile queen. Such difference in con
durt, Sir John suggests, may be due 10
the fact that his own ants were living in
republic, for it is affirmed that bees
long withouta queen are strongly averse
to accepting another. Furthermore, il
few ants from strarge nest are put
with a queen they do not attack her,
and if other ants are by degrees added
the throne is ultimately secured.

less confidence in him; coniugal inti-
macy seems to exist between them.
She lets him tell what he feels, talk of

much as her hand. He may say any
thing; he shall do nothing. She is

A Bows Strange Pet.

Not long ago, near the Temescal tin
mines, in this county, says a paper
published in San Bernardino, Cal.
lived a man named William Jenkins
He had small boy between two and
three years old. It was observed for
some time that this child spent the
larger part of his time at play near a
pile OF rocks some distance from the
house. The father took occasion one
day TO follow his little boy soon after he
had gone to his usual place of resort.
when, to his horror, he discovered a
large rattlesnake coiled about the child,
who was feeding the poisonous reptile
from his hand. The father, almost
paralyzed with fear, secured stick.
and, watching his opportunity, threw
the serpent from the child and killed it.
The boy was overcome with grief at the
death OF his pet, and would not be com
forted for a long time. The snake was
of the red variety, and about six feet in
length.

The Electrician says that the life of a
submarine telegraph cable is from ten
to twelve years. If a cable breaks in
deep water after it is ten years old, it
cannot be lifted for repairs, as it will
break of its own weight, and cable COM
panies are compelled to put aside a large
reserve fund in order that they may be
prepared to replace their cables every
ten years. The action of the sea eats
the iron away completely, and it crum-
bles to dust, while the core of the cable
may beperfect. The breakages of cables
are very costly, and it is very difficult
matter to repair them in comparison
with a land line. A ship has to be
chartered at $500 day for two or three
week.! in fixing the locality and in
avoiding rough weather. One break in
the direct cable cost 100000.
