SERVED A PURPOSE.

Some good suburban girls OF Cincin-
natl made up two hundred yards OF red
flannel into petticoats and sent the
garments. packed in box, as gift TO
the heather OF Africa. The Gazette
says: In the pleasant month Of July,
when the mercury crawls up to 100 de-
grees in the shade, and the inhabitants
lie sleeping in the tall reeds, clothed
principally in their native blackness;
Shen it is SO hot that even the dogs are

CANADIAN TIMBER

An enormous quantity OF timber is
obtained from tue forests OF Canada.
The logs are usually dashed together to
form raft and then floated down the
river to the nearest port. Recently q
raft OF huge size was conveyed in this
WAY down the Hudson river. It was
900 feet long and thirty-four feet wide,
and contained 25i pine logs, from sew
enty to ninety-six feet in length. They
were cut during the winter in Ontario,
Canada, and then foated down to Tor
onto on Lake Oltario, from which
place they were to%ed in three
days and half across to o.
wego, where they were separated
into three RATS for convenience in
passing through the Erie canal. The
journey thus far occupied thirty-one
days. Having cleared the canal the
logs were again joined into one large
raft and foated down the river, travel.
ing only on the ebb tides. At Gowanus
bay, Brooklyn, the raft was increased by
the addition Of 1l3 logs, making it nov
1900 feet long and sixty -four feet wide.
1t was then towed to Boston. The value
Of the raft was S25, 900. and the expense
of tDwage one-third less than it would
have cost to send it by reil.

OIL
POURED on TROUBLED WATERS.

An article in the New York Herald
concerning the efficacy Of procuring oil
upon the sea to snbdue the waves
during storm brought to that paper
two interesting letters in reference to
tho subject. The first correspondent
said: "In reference to your article in
the Herald day or two since upon oil
upon the sea as q safeguard to ships in
q tempest. You will find that many ship
tempest tossed has been protected and
saved from destruction by means OF oil
cast upon the waters. The experience
OF whalemen in the North Pacific will
verify your statement. The writer we'll
remembers the quieting effect upon the
ocean when the good ship Abram H.
Rowland, in typhoon off the
coast Of Japan, was compelled to
lay to, anchored, as it were. to
an immense right-whale. The cable
was run out the hawse- hole and fastened
around the fukes OF the whale, then
payed out, as the ship drifted away
from the whale, until some fifty or sixty
fathoms had been run out, and though
the storm was terrific AROUND and on
all sides, except to the windward,
where the oil fiom the greasy monster
so smoothed the waters that We rode
out the gale in safety. The oil upon
the waters is rot theory. only, but has
has been proved by experience. Let
ship owners put aboard few barrels OF
lard oil or whale oil, as part OF the life
saving apparatus Of their ships, and
when occasion demands use the same
for the sure protection Of life and pro-
perty,"
The second letter is as follows: "In
your last weeks issue appeared an in.
teresting report concerning the use OF
oil for subduing stormy waves, and thus
facilitating the escape OF lifeboats. The
principle OF this influence OF oil on dis.
turbed water is correct. but some e1-
PLANTATION OF this curious fact may be
useful to seaiarers. The action OF oil
in this case is both chemical and me-
chanical. Being heavier than foam and
lighter than water, it works its way to
the surface OF the still element. In so
doing it diffuses through and breaks
down the swelling. This occur
renee is frequently illustrated in
the industry OF paper max
ing. Very often the pulp, while
being washed in tho besting engine,
foams and swells so heavily that it over
flows, unless the engine tender is aware
that the throwing Of few drops OF oil
subdues the rising. The violence OF
foamiug waves is practically caused by
the air inclosed in the myriads OF bub-
bles eleyating the surface OF the water
under windy pressure and breaking
with explosive effect upon boats or any
other obstacles. The molecular diifu-
sion Of oil is apractical way OF reduc'
ing the foam to watery level, but it
should be applied at certain distance
70 prevent the shock. To secure this
protection it is necessary to protect the
oil ahead Of the boat by a jet or spray
system. Many lives might be saved if
( proper arrangements were made to this
effect. The fuidity Of oil being eI-
tremely fine and subtle in floating, a
few gallons. adequately distributed,
would, in case OF emery ency, prevent
capsizing and open the way to salvage"

A scientific feat never before at
tempted with success has been accom-
plished in Cleveland, Ohio, where Rich
ard Jahr, German student In
photography. has photographed Pres
iient Gariield's tomb by moon
light. Jihr had labored for some
lime, and expended considerable money
in an attempt TO secure negative, with
no other light than that OF the moon,
and it was not until one night recently
that his efforts were crowned with
success. The camera was left in posi-
lion seven hours before the negative
was perfected. Tie value OF the dis
covery to science, and the p'ece where
II was made, surrounds it with peculiar
interest to the worll at large.
