CURIOUS FACTS.

A tree bearing thirty bushels of apples
is really sustaining half ton of wat, r,
for water constitutes about eighty-fve
per cent. Of apples.
A brick of gold measuring twelve by
seven by four inches is worth al out
$4,000. Such brick represents one
months product Of one of the hydraulic
mines of California.
The rings noticed in the wood Of a
tree cut across have been considered an
index OF the age OF the tree counting
one ring for each year, but this does
not hold in all species. A tree eighteen
years old has shown, when cut, thirty
six distinct rings.
Nerve impulses are conducted along
the nerves very slowly in comparison to
the speed of electricity along copper
wire. The latter travels sixteen million
times as fast as a nerve impulse, and yet
the nerve impulse travels with the speed
of the fastest railroad train.
There is no tide perceptible in the Mis-
slsslppl river after you have passed up
about thirty miles from its mouth, and
the tide only rises from one and a half
to two feet at Balize. The number of
tributaries (the Ohio, Missouri and so
onl which help to food the Mississippi
and swell its volume of water, gives it
that downward current which over
comes every resisting influence, even
the tidal.
Catgut, it is stated, was used in the

found to be tackled on the garments with

pleased. "There being no means of

Died While Laughing.

A singular and fatal accident occurred
at Jackson, Miss, recently. Mr.. w.
Bailey, chancery clerk of Madison
county, in company with Mr.. L. Wharton,
of Jackson, was eating dinner at arestau-
rant. During the meal, while engaged
in friendly and sociable conversation,
allusion was made to the strange and
sad fate that befel the late Walter
Brooks, of Vicksburg, who was choked
to death by eating an oyster. Mr.. Whar-
ton said something further, which dis
tracted Mr.. Bailey's attention and
caused him to laugh, and, few second
after, it was noticed that the latter gen.
tleman appeared very sick, and was
gasping for breath. Mr.. Wharton and
others Immediately attempted to relieve
him by carrying him to the door and
slapping him on the back, but without
avail. Physicians We're sent for, but
before they arrived Mr.. Bailey was dead,
and it was beyond the power of medical
skill to revive him. He had inadvert-
emily swallowed a piece of beef, which
became lodged in his throat and choked
him to death

Bungs.

The bung is homely device, lacking
altogether the symmetry of an obelisk
and having little even of the grace
which corks often possess. But wher-
ever liquids are contained in casks or
barrels there must the bung be also.
1t is almost impossible to estimate
the quantity of bungs made and used
annually, but the number is well up in
the millions. They are made of wood
well-seasoned, and are cut by machinery
which is patented. In no country are
so many bungs made as in the United
States, for nowhere else are the woods
which are used so plentiful. Oak, hick-
ory, spruce and pine are among the
varieties utilized, and the bung facto-
ries are scattered about the country in
the neighborhoods where the woods
used are found. BY cutting the bungs
before shipping the cost of transporting
the waste material is saved. A great
many bungs for beer casks are sent both
to Germany and England from this
country, not because they are better,
but because they are cheaper than those
made abroad. Bungs are cut by pecu.
liar and ingenious machinery, which
works against the grain of the wood,
tapering the bung with the grain. In
many cases the taper is made but slight
in the cutting, and then the bung il
submitted to powerful compression tc
increase the taper

A Dwarf Who Wears a Mans Hat.

John Mcconnell is the name of the
smallest man in the coal region and one
of the smallest men in the world. Un-
like many other small men, he is only
noticeably small in the matter of height.
His head, the breadth of chest and size of
waist are those of fully developed man.
To see Mr.. Mcconnell take a seat on an
ordinary chair would bring smile to
bronze statue of grief. He climbs upon
it like three-year-old, and when once
seated his feet dangle six inches from
the floor. He has pleasant and intelli-
gent-looking face, which he keeps closely
shaved. He will be thirty-two years of
age on the twenty-fourth of June, and
stopped growing good many years ago.
He was born in Vermont, and came to
the coal regions of Pennsylvania nine
years ago. He wears 71-S hat and
measures thirty-six inches around the
chest. His arm measures sixteen inchea
from the shoulder to the tip of his
middle finger. His legs measure eight
teen inches in length. He wears a No
boot. He stands three feet eleven and
half inches with his boots on and
weighs eighty-six pounds. PottScille
