The IL Is OF the Paris Sewers.

Nlagendalc needed some rats for his
studies, aid had twelve caught at Mont
fancon IN the sewer and shut up in a box.
When he opened the box at the Jardin des
Plantes, he found remaining only three,
very obese, swollen and quito rcpulsivc.
In the short journey the survivors had
eaten their nine comrades These sewer
rats arc terribly fcrocious They attack q
cat easily and kill it. But the rats are dis
appearing now from the sewers. They are
only met with in the old galleries where
the soft banks permit these rodents to bur
row. The firm cement, which they cannot
gnaw through and with which the new
sewers are lined, prevents them from dig
ging their customary habitatiOns therein.
The rats now have taken up their abodes
in the vicinity of the markets and at the
abattoirs and about private houses and
stables 1t Is curious fact that the pres
cnt race of rats invaded France in tile Sec
ond half Of the eighteenth century. Pallas
fixes the date of the entrec of the rat in
Europe; he says the little wretch pcne-
trated to Samara in the summer Of 1866
lie came from Tartary from the "stcppes"
of Karakum, driven thcrcfrom by the OK
cessive heat. Arriving IN France these
Tartar rats commenced by putting to death
and devourlng oil the domestic rats that
they encountered. They performed 80
well their work that oil the other rats dis
appeared entirely.

Carpet Gardening.

The outdoor occupation is carpet gar
dening. II consists in the laying out of
beds on lawns, of borders and strips of
earth, with shrubs or bedding plants of
varicgatatcd hues in order to match the
shades Of Persian carpets and Indian
slawls. This style of fancy gardening
commenced in France a few years ago; tho
lovely Japanese carpet in the Trocadcro
grounds during the late Exposition gave an
impulse to his mode of ornamentation. |
have seen the border Of an Indian camcl's-
hair scarf, with all its palms and intcrvcn-
ing designs, most accurately reproduced
on garden border. Neither is 1t so diff
cult to succeed in this as one at first sight
would suppose. 1t is a matter which re-
quires care and foresight chiefly. The
height of varlcgatcd shrubs and tho room
they require for spreading has to be ac-
quircd; the rest Is only case of pansl ak
ing and nlccty. The beds of French
lawns set aside for the purpose arc pre-
pared by the gardener, who makes all the
surfaces perfectly level. When they
arc ready the ladies lid on the
top paper on which the design
has been carefully pcrforatcd the paper of
course corresponds with the SIZE and shape
of the bed or border to be ornamcntcd. All
the holes are then filled with chalk finely
powdered or sand, which leaves perfect
impress On the block mould after the paper
has been carefully removed. The plants
are afterwards sunk into the different COM
partmcnts marked out for them. If the
design is very intricate it is wise to indi-
cate the color anf nature Of plants to be
bcddcd by writing their names on the pa.
per. Il plan or paper bed is usually pre-
pared indoors when the weather does not
admit Of out dool exercise. Several
gentlemen having property in the
environs pride themselves on their carpet
lawn, which is the successful attempt Of
their wives and daughters. The cost is
moderate. A tablcclolh design is usually
executed in crcam-colorcd shrubs We
have seen Il kiosk, under which meals arc
served in summer, with Il circular border
repeating cmblems OF welcome and hospi-
tality carried out in shrubs; the cmbcms

What tho PennsyIvauin Railroad IL Doins
III Philadelphia.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
is indefatigable in its efforts to improve
the carrying capacities of its road, and al
the same time accommodate the travelling
public in the best manner. All along 1t,
various lines new and commolious dcpot.
have been erected, and Mt tho same time
track facilities multiplied to supply bust
ness demands. But tho work of the great.
est magnitude and Importance on this line
has been undertaken by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in building an Elevated
Railroad from their present depot in West
Philadelphia to Fifteenth and Market streets
Phlada., thus bringing t, cir line into the
very heart OF the city and landing passengers
within Jew minutes walk of the principal
Hotels and business places of the city. This
important work which was commenced in
November last has been pushed rapidly for
ward during the Winter and Spring months
and is now In such condition as to war
rant the belief that the Line will be COM
plcted and in operation by the first of De-
cembcr of this year.
The Elevated road starts from poin,
near the Western end of the passenger
sheds at West Phila. depot and runs on q
direct line with Fllbcrt Street to the river,
crossing the Schuylkill Just north of
Market Street on a three span iron bridge,
464 feet in length, which will be built to
accommodate two passenger and one freight
track. The road is carried over the Gas
orkspropcrty and at 22d st. leaves Hilbert
and turns into the property lying between
Filbert and Jones Sts., which the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company recently pur-
chased for this purpose, thus providing
ample room for eight tracks between this
point and Fifteenth street.
The road will be constructed in the best
possible manner. From the bridge to
twenty second street it will be supported
by wrought iron pillars eighteen inches in
diameter, placed on stone foundations,
from that point to the depot the road bed
Will consist of a series OF brick arches rest
ing on solid stone foundations, there being
about twelve Of these arches to square
and the railroad being carried over ali the
intervening street crossings and being 50
constructed as not TO interfere with travel
Oh the streets.
The new depot will he built to face the
Public Buildings, and will extend back to
Sixteenth street. 1t will be made to uc-
commotatc both the passenger aud freight
business Of the Company, giving largely in
creased facilities for both.
Over one thousand men arc now en-
ploycd on this improvement, and tho force
will be still further incrc scd as the work
progresses. The cost Of building the road
ana purchasing the property required for
the purpo> G is estimated at Three Millions
OF Dollars.

Finding.

The law Of finding is this The finder
has clear title against all the world but
the owner. The proprietor Of railroad
car or shop has no right to demand the
property which may be found on his prem
iscs. Such proprietor may make rcgula-
tions in regard to lost property which will
bind their employees, but they cannot bind
the public. The law of finding was de-
clarcd by the Kings Bench one hundred
years ago in a case in which the facts were
these: IA person found wallet contain
ing sum of money on shop floor. lie
handed the wallet and contents to the shop.
keeper to be reformed to the owner. After
three years, during which the owner did
not call for the property and the finder de-
mandcd the wallet and money from tho
shopkceper. The latter refused to deliver
them up on the ground that they were
found on his premises. The finder then
sued the shopkcepcr, and it was held as
above stated, that against all the world but
the owner the title is perfect And the
finder has been held to stand in the place of
the owner, 80 that he was permitted to pre-
vail in action against a person who found
an article which the plaintiff had originally
found bat subsequently lost. The police
have no special rights in regard to articles
lost, unless those rights are conferred by
statntc. Receivers of articles found arc
trustees for the finder. They have no
power in the absence of special statute to
keep the article against the finder any moro
than the finder has to retain the article
against the owner.

Birds.

No person, be he ever SO sordid, but is III
some way sensible to the charms of Ma
turc, and among the charms Of country life
the presence Of birds, and the delights de-
rived from their cheerful songs, are among
the most popular. Hardly anyone would
care to be without them, and yet the dam
age they sometimes do is so provoking that
it is 10 wonder Mt times people grow out of
patience with them. 1t is very hard in
these cases to discuss the bird question
properly, and thus we read in various
transactions" of the most contradictory
opinions III regard to the value of birds
In some quarters people are epraying for buds
and petition the legislatures for laws to
protect ana encourage them; on the other
hand these people arc regarded as mere
sentimcntalists, and ''firc and brlmstonc"
is voted as the true deserts of what tho
other regard as fcathcrcd pets. The truth
about birds lies midway bctw cen these two
extremes. That they live for nine months
in tho year on insects is clear of birds as a
general thing. There arc few perhaps
which live wholly Oh seeds and fruits, but
none of these are among the birds which
give our agriculturists and fruit growers SO
much trouble. If it were not for the
myraids of insects which these birds dies.
troy in that time, it would be perfectly
useless to try to raise grain or fruits at all.
Now, when we look at these facts the kind
hearted arc very apt to decide that the
poor things arc entitled TO some of the
fruits which, without them, VIC could not
have at all. But the trouble is that in
many cases they take all the crop, and I'M
der these circumstances one is not apt to
care much whether they cat insects for
nine months or not. In this conflict of
facts the wise man is he who ignores none,
but adapts things TO circumstances. We
must have birds, and they should be Gu
couragcd, and to have fruits we must guard
them from birds who will take more than
their share. Agricultural writer's tell us
that in Europe, where the birds arc in
ilnitely more numerous than they arc here,
they suffer very little from insects. The
birds keep The noxious insects pretty well
down, but when the grain-tlelds arc sown,
or the fruit about to ripcn, boys arc hired
who with clappcrs walk about the fields
and keep the birds away. BY thus spend
ing q triilc for few weeks they have no
difficulty in having full crops in spite of
the great numbers of fcathcrcd tribes Our
true policy must be similar one, to en-
courage the birds and protect the crops.
There is no other rational ground to

What Trees Shall we Plnnt?

The question, "whnt trees Shal. we
plant - is frequently asked by persons who
desire either to replace the dccaying shade
trees in front Of their premises or to set
out trees in places heretofore vacant. The
lion. B q. Northrop, Secretary of the
Connecticut Board of Education, who has
done more than any other person in that
State for the Improvement Of the public
thoroughfarcs Of its cities and villages, rs
well as the country highways especially
in the matter of tree planting, says in an
swcr that choice native trees deserve the
hrst mention, namely, the elm, maple,
white ash, white oak, linden or basswood
tulip tree, hickory, and black walnut All
OF these arc admirable for the roadside
and Il majority Of tl.m arc especially
adapted for the city avenues. The tulip
tree is magnificent vegetable and worthy

taken when young, and must be set out

called the most desirable OF all shade and

therefore especially valuable for shade and

location are well adapted for the success

is much moro desirable to select native
trees for transplanting. Mr.. Northrop very
truthfully says: eff every citizen will duly

valc taste and public spirit can be enlisted,
the streets, roads, and homes may easily
be made beautiful and inviting. The good
work should go on until not dwelling or
street is left without the simple and grand
adornmcnt of shade trees, and with shrub
berry, flowers, and lawn where such atldi-
tional beauties may be added"

Tact that they encountered prcciplce after
prccipicc from 100 to 200 feet perpendicu-

ID. W. Mooney of Williams Valley TO de-
scend one of these perpendicular prccipccs,
100 feet down, that he was dashed to
sudden and rocky tomb, where he now
rests as he icll, his companions being un-
able to rescue his body from that awful and
abyssmal grave. MIR. Mooney was per-
suadcd by his companions not to attempt
such an absurd undertaking; their oppor
tunity avallcd not. lie took a small rope,
hardly half an inch in diameter, tied one
end to bank, suspended it over the brink,
then taking hold Of the rope, was soon
dangling between the bright heavens and
dark dismal gorge below. Evidently
cramps came in his arms or his mind gave
way, and he fell from almost the top to his
rocky and lonely grave below. The party
remained nearly two days, dcvising means
and plans to rescue the corpse, but with
failures, as no one cared to risk descent
upon the weak rope. The Indians informed
the party that no man Ind ever passed
through the canon, that, IN fact, passage
was only possible for the birds Of the air or
tho spirits of the dead. The party retraccd
their steps and went around Cataract creek
to the Grand canon of the Colorado. They

dicular, rs being about two miles from tho

Deepest Canyons Known.

In the early part of March, this year, n
party OF prospcctcrs, thirteen, procured the
necessary papers from Gen. Wilcox al
lowing them to visit the Indian village on
Cataract creek, in Arizona, inhabited by
the Ave Supais, a tribe OF Indians number
ing all told 200 souls The party was
known as the Bcclkman and Young pros
pccting expedition. They went from Will
hanson valley to the Bill Williams range,
and thence to Pine Spring, small watering
place surrounded by pine forest. Here
they found every indication of an old sea
bed, the gravel and rocks being round and
smooth, similar to those in the ocean bed.
From Pine Spring the party directed their
course for the Ava Supai village, which is
reached by descending from the table or
mesa land down one of the toughest trails
ever travelled by man for distance of ii
miles, dropping 5000 feet. Ntplaces along
the trail VIC were told that il is not over 20
inches wide, and winds around the pcrpcn-
dicular walls of sandstone that loom above
for hundreds of feet, while on the other
side dark, deep canons exist, hundreds up
on hundreds Of feet deep. where, by one
false step or move, man or beast would be
sent to eternity. With great care and good
luck 10 of the party succeeded in reaching
the village three of their number returning
rather than run the gauntlet in passing
down into this awful yet marvellous crcvicc
in the earth. The Ava Supais practice
pologamy, each male having about three
wives. They have l, 900 acres of farming
land, which is described rs being of yell
lowish color and mostly composed of sand;
however, 1t is said to produce good corn,
pumpkins, melons, beans, ETC., with chc
cid of irrigating water, Of which they have
ON abundance, and appropriate by means
of good ditch surrounding their farm.
They have a peach orchard of 900 trees,
which were, on tho first Of April, loaded
with small peaches about the size of acorns.
