The Hawk

There was once presented to the
English Geological Society fine hawk,
caught on board the ship Exmouth, on
her passage from Bengal to London,
when in about latitude twelve degrees
north, and longitude eighty-eight
degrees, thirty minutes east, W hich
placed the ship three hundred miles
from land-the Andaman Islands.
From the birds tendency to fly away
toward the east, about the time of SUM-
rise, for some days after it was caught,
the captain of the "Exmouth" was led
to suppose that it must have been blown
off or followed It's prey till out of sight
of those islands. AT the time it was
taken, IL was In the act of devouring
the remains OF seabird on the main
topsail yard, which it had previously
been seen to pounce down upon and
take up from the sea. This is the Sec
ond instance of hawk being taken up
by the same captain ont of sight of land
and, on the former occasion, a sparrow
took refuge in the cabin; the ship was
at that time about eighty miles from
Ceylon. From these circumstances il
Is evident that hawks traverse great
spaces of the ocean, being able to feed
on the wing.

FARM AND GARDEN.

PUrTINe AWAY PorAToEs.-Every
method has been tried byfarmers tostore
and preserve their potatoes through
the winter, and we may say until po-
tatoes come again. Ii is the most val
liable of all vegetables, though here and
there we find a person and writer
who undertakes 10 tell us of its un-
wholesomeness. 1t is universally con-
sumed in all civilized countries, as
where it cannot be grown iii imported,
which can be done long distances with
out injury when ventilation Is atten-
ded to. In storing potatoes several
methods are adopted, yet they are all
practically the same, the object being
10 protect them against freezing,
whether buried in pits or stored in eel
lars. The first consideration is to keep
them in perfect darkness; the next is
the bjLs should not be too deep-not
over three feet-to produce warmth aud
cause them to sprout. When stored
in the field, straight trenches are dug,
say twenty feet in length and four or
i've wide, which are filled to the depth
of three feet with potatoes then well
covered with straw, on top of which
put eighteen or twenty inches of earth.
In a pit twenty feet long there should
be about three gas escapes or ventila-
ting openings, which should be plugged
with straw and covered with board
set at an angle to tlrn the rain. Ii In
cellars, barn or otherwise. the bins
should be covered with rugs, old car
petings or straw. Those intended tC
be kept for late spring sales should be
frequently examined and all sprout:
removed; for as soon as potato be-
gins TO sprout it loses solidity, drynes:
and quality"

The discovery was made, some time
ago, that crude ammonia water-or
gas liquor, as it is called-acts with
great promptness in extinguishing fire
in a tar distillery. 1t is now recon-
mended, as utilizing the important
fact in question, that owners of cotton
mills, of tar works, varnIsh factories,
etc., should have on their premises 4
stock of about 1000 gallons of this gas
liquor stored in a tank or old boiler
mounted upon brickwork, and at such
an altitude as to give pressure enough
for good jet service IN case of fire.
The readiness-it is urged-with which
a jet of this liquor, thrown into a burn
ing room, would act, the space being
so enclosed, when the action is so pow
erful in comparatively open space,
and with suchA q refractory substance as
burning pitch, must be obvious. 1t is
assumed, too, that the extinguishlng
power of the liquor would be increas-
edly called forth by more intensely
hot flrc-for, in this case, in all prOba-
bilitv, the ammonia would be decom-
posed, and the generated hydrogen and
nitrogen gases would help to swell the
volume of nOn-supportlng gas, dis
placing the air, and so choking out the
combustion.
