SEARCHING A CELESTIAL BRIDE.

A Chinaman namei All Hing and / i;
young bride, Yu Lee, were arrested in China
town, in this city. yesterday by oficer Smith
and w. ]. Ping, Constable from Colusa
county. where, it is alleged, the doting pair
stole about $500 from brother native.
When arrested and searched, S497 was found
in the possession of Yu Lee The act of
searching her after arrival at the police sta
ton was embarrassing, as she was exceedingly
ticklish from want OF expert nee in being
officially gone through with in that way, and

results Bat rs to t'at, he had results with
Yu Lee. She stood back, balanced
on her rockers, and looked on while
her husband was being searched, and
this gave her opportunity to foresee and
contemplate her own doom in the same direc-
ton. When John had been thoroughly over
| hauled and felt OF from head to foot, the
fficer, with a blushiag air of meekness,
walked up to the BRIDE and for an instant
looked rs il ne didn't know where to De-
gin. She was daintily attiIed, her hair was

A Marine VelOcipede.-Mr. Robert
Fryer has invented new ocean steamer.
The vessel will be a kind of marine velo-
cIpede on three wheels, her hull not being
intended to touch the water. The steamer
has not been begun, but Mr.. Fryer has
completed a small model of her at Nc
Crea's yard. The vessel floats on three
spheres made of sheet steal, one forward
and two astern. Each of these is united
with fanges, which surround nearly the
whole of Its circumference and act as pad
dies, The spheres are so arranged that
they can be worked backward and forward,
or one worked backward and the others
forward simultaneously, so that the vessel
may be turned completely around in cher
own water" as sailors put it. With such
power of rapid turning, 10 rudder will be
necessary. The upper works are to rest
upon the spheres that do the propelling,
and will be as light as is consistent with
strength. There are to be three decks,
and the staterooms are to be il the after
part of the vessel, between the wheels,
on the second and third decks. The din
ing-room is to be on the third deck. The
boat is to be 210 feet long and 130 feet
deep. Her three sphere or paddle wheels
are TO be 60 feet in diameter each, the
flanges or paddles being each Is inches.
Mr.. Fryer says he expects to beat the best
ocean time by at least two days, and de-
clares that his vessel will be both safe and
comfortable. Arrangements are making
for the building of the vessel.

An automatic buoy, having ten-inch
whistle and glass globe on the top for an
electric light, has been moored IN thirteen
fathoms of water near Sandy Hook light
ship. The inventor of this buoy claims
that 1t will show an intermittent electric
light, the generation being operated by the
action of the waves. BY the motion Of
the buoy, due to ITS rise and fall on the
waves, mir is compressed in the buoy,
which acts intermittently TO drive an elec-
trio engine and to sound whistle. When
the air reaches Il certain degree of com.
pressIon the engine rotates and the carbon
IN the globe brilliantly glows; at the same
moment the whistle sounds.

Bone MEAL MANURE Last year we
gave bone manure pretty thorough trial,
and on the whole we are better satisfied
with it than any other commercial fertll-
iZer we have ever used. Its effects are not
so immed ate as those of the super-phos-
pilates and guanos, but it has staying quail
ties far beyond any of them, and when
properly applied will give satisfactory re-
suits the first season. We prepared it by
mixing one part bone with two of wood
ashes, and then wettlng the mixture, after
which it was shoveled over several times at
intervals OF four or five days, when the
bone was thoroughly reduced and incorpo-
rated in the ashes. In this shape we count
the mixture as good for hoed top dressing
as the best commercial fertilizers, and for
vines, flowers and garden vegetables it is
superior. 1t has a wonderful effect when
used in flower bed, especially IN preserv-
ing the freshness of the plants through the
season, and grape vines feed and thrive
upon it better than upon anything else we
ever gave them. We tried it upon grass
land, side by side with standard Boston
fertilizer, and got quite as good crops with
it last season, while last spring 1t showed
to much better advantage than the impor-
ted article.
