A Japanese Bnl.of.Far

In the last number of the Revue Brit
annique is published an interesting ac-
count of a modern Japanese dinner
party, from which we extract the fol-
lowing extraordinary menu, recon-
mending it to the attention of those who
may desire to introduce some startling
novelties into the art of dining, as
practiced in these islands: Boiled ducks,
chopped pigeons. bird nest soup, roast
mutton and bamboo buds, mussels and
crabs, tea and cakes, turtle soup,
minced dog, praised rats, macaroni
soup, black rats roasted, with sweet
sauce, salt fish, roast pork with rice
patties. preserved melon-seeds, Stuffed
sea-frogs, walnuts stewed with betel
leaves, ices. and fruits. Various wines
were served during this amazing enter
tainment. The center of the table was
occupied by huge covered bowl.
containing good store of sea-ieas. set
swimming in Burgundy just before the
guests sat down to dinner. By the time
the meal was over these vivacious in
sects had become sufficiently inebriated
to exhibit an abnormal and eccentric
activity, so that, when the cover re-
straining their saltatory exercises was
removed at dessert, they afforded ex-
cellent sport to the Japanese gentlemen
present, who displayed remarkable
smartness in catching them with ivory
chop-sticks and in subsequently eating
them alive. To British approximations
this may appear somewhat revolving
repast; but, remembering that many
dishes which they and the Chinese en-
joy have ugly names that misrepresent
their real character. we should suspend
our judgment until we hear what the
dehcacies mentioned actually are.
Birds nest soup, for instance, is very
different thing from what people who
have never been in China suppose it to
be, and it is quite possible that even the
black rat may be species of ground
game unknown in this country, but not
less edible for all that. We confess.
however that the sea-frogs and sea-
fieas require good deal of explanation.

Wanted His Choice in Pie.

The death of Horace MorreI, q
wealthy and eccentric retired Califor-
mia merchant was autographed from
Philadelphia yesterday. MIR. Morrill,
boarded at the Windsor House, Oak
land. in the spring of 1877. The pro-
prietor, Mr.. Wheeler, describes him as
reserved in manner and very eccentric.
He generally ordered q dozen or SO
pies to be set upon the table before him
and then from this congregation of the
tempting but indigestible viands would
select one pie and carve out just the
sized triangle that suited his very pc
culiar idea. He might not want large
piece, but he did want the privilege Of
making selection. Other traits and
whims are mentioned which would
have won him honorary membership in
the Eccentric Club of London. SON

Seawecd and its Uses.

In tropical climates, the little air.
bladders which support the seawracks
are of great service; for the masses of
seaweed are several hundred feet long
and of considerable height. having stems
the thickness of a mans thigh, and
branches and dropping stems. which
support innumerable forms of animal
life, such as corals, crabs, worms of diff
ferent kinds, together with MOSES and
weeds of the sea, and being beside a
place of deposit for innumerable eggs
of various creatures. In Scotland the
tender parts of the seawracks known as
tangles, are used as food, and when
cooked are considered choice diet for
cattle. The stems of very hard, horny
variety of the seawracks are used as
knife-handles. They are cut in short
pieces and while still moist or green the
blade is forced in at one end. When
the stem dries it clings firmly to the
knife-blade. Being gnarled and horny
it resembles bucks horn. and when
tipped with metal and fully finished
forms neat, inexpensive knife-handle.
The rose-tangles are higher up in The
scale of vegetable life, and their deli
cate tints render them very beautiful.
OF these dulse is an important variety
to the Scotch and Irish, who, beside
using it as food, both in its raw state
and cooked in milk, find in it substi-
tute for tobacco. Carragreen moss is
another kind of rose-tangle from which
q nourishing jelly is made. The Chi
nese use one variety of rose-tangle as
a varnish for their paper lanterns, and
as chief Ingredient in other CLOSING
preparations; twenty-seven thousand
pounds are brought annually to Canton
and sold for six to eighteen pice per
pound.

The Peanut Club.

The Peanut Club has lately taken
rooms at the Cumberland, in Fifth Ay-
enue, and its members now believe that
they have established it upon firm
basis. Each member is expected to
carry a peanut about his person, and
whenever he meets another person to
take it out and show it to him. II the
latter does not forthwith produce his
peanut and show it to his challenger,
he is fined one dollar, which sum is de-
posted in the clubs treasury. When
q sufficient amount of money has accu-
mulated, grand dinner is INDUCED in.
Formerly members could carry ordinary
peanuts and most of them carried q
supply Of this nut in each pocket so that
they could produce one whenever chal-
lenged. The result was that for q
long time no banquet could be had
and it was found necessary to make q
change in the constitution and bylaws.
Zach member, according to the amend
ed rules, was required to carry only one
challenge peanut, and that of ivory,
with the owners name engraved upon
it. TheD the dollars began to pour into
the treasury. Last summer one of the
members saw about a dozen officers en-
joying a bath at Manhattan Beach.
With fiendish delight he hurried and
hired bathing suit and waded out to
them with his peanut and dozen dol
lars found their way into the treasury
consequently.-N z. Times.

Some time ago the Tribune had occa-
sion to call attention to the Ada mine
on Snake Greek, in this territory. 1t
will be remembered that mention was
made of a strange kind of rock found in
the tunnel of that mine that emitted a
bright glow, as phosphorus does, when
rubbed or hammered on with hammer
or pick. This was at the time CLASH
fed, for want of better name. as phos-
phuretic rock. The miners in the dis
trict called it - helrs fire rock" and
the tunnel is known in the neighbour
hood as Hell's Hole" Il. N. Baskin,
owner of the mine, recently forwarded
some samples of this strange rock to the
professors of chemistry at Yale College.
On careful analysis it was found to con-
tain no phosphorus, as at first surmised.
The gauge was easily determined; but
the subtle power that gave light to the
rock, baffied the sages of New Haven,
and the broad term magnetic or electric
rock was given to it. This is something
new in mining. Miners sometimes get
struck by lightning, but this is the first
well authenticated instance on record
where miner has struck lightning.
Again, in this progressive age, when
gas and coal oil begin to take back
seat, this discovery of a mountain of
ready-made electricity may become q
source of incalculable value to its own
ers. Our local telegraph Offices need
only run wire from the Ada tunnel to
their instruments to obtain permanent
supply of electricity. The trouble and
expense of replenishing batteries, re-
placing broken jars, ETC., would be en-
tirely dispensed with and sshell's hole''
homemade lightning always on hand
free of charge. The benefits to be de-
rived by this discovery can well be
imagined, but it is not necessary at this
time to point out all of them. as more
complete description of the property
and the various uses to which its strange
power can be applied will be given at
some future time, upon the organization
of the .Helrs Hole Ready Made Light
ming Company.-Sax Lake CITY TribHne.
