THE agricultural returns sent in to the Register General of Ireland for 1882, show melancholy state of affairs. Eighty thousand acres have relapsed in- to bog. The acreage under crops de- creased by ll4,000. The decrease under fax cultivation is 34,O00 acres, while the decrease of the potato crop is enormous. A radical reformation must take place in Ireland soon, or a very large portion of the peasantry will die Of starvation. The government, without doubt, has made good beginning by the passage of the Land Act, which IS recognized by the people. But the condition of affairs in Ireland continue to grow worse in spite of all that has been done, and 1t is hard to tell when Q change for the bet ter will take place. The dispsir of the people was vilvidly set forth by Bishop Morsirity who stated that ''if an army Of Chinese were to land in Ireland the invaders would be welcomed The hatred 5f English rule IS so bitter that they can see nothing in it to approve. There is no doubt but they have great canse for compliant, but they should not lose sight of their own duty in their bitter hatred of tue English. A brighter day will surely dawn; they have already forced n compromise of the differences; If they will now go to work in good faith and profit by what they have gain ed they may expect other concessions before long. The peasantry of England feel the injustice of the landlord system ani will act with Ireland in securing further legislation for the improvement of the laws il the people of Ireland would only let them. Their interests are identical and there Is no good reason why they should not act together.

IMPRISONED BY A BEAR.

Last Tuesday, says the Ogden CUtah)
Pilot. an old gentleman who has.been
engaged in hunting for some time past,
met with an adventure so thrilling and
interesting that he became for some
time deranged. He was hunting near
Bingham's mill, in Ogden canon, when
n deer sprang up and started to run.
Being a good shot, the hunter soon
rolled it over and proceeded to skin it..
He had progressed but little when q
large bear came rushing toward him.
Again he levelled his rifle and sent a
bullet crashing through the thick hide
of bruih. Instead of killing the bear,
IL only eDraged him, and after O mo,
ment's delay, more furiously than ev.

Seeing..that his only hope for safety
lay in fight, the hunter at once drop

The Best Door to Stop Fire.

a number of experiments have
been made in this country to test
the value Of different materials for
doors that may be exposed to fire,
from which it appears that perhaps
the best door yet devised IS one
made of wood and covered with tin.
The door is formed of solid planks,
or boards matched and fastened to-
gether and crossing at right angles,
OF at 45o. There should not be less
than two thicknesses in any door,
and as many more should be used
as the size of the opening to be
closed demands. This solid wooden
door is to then be completely COW
cred on every side with timed sheet
iron, all the joints being soldered as
in making tin roofs. The timed
door is supported by hangers
moving on an inclined rail or track
over the doorway. so that when
free to move it will close
by its own weight. AT the
door jamb, opposite the door,
when it is open. should be a
wooden casing covered on every
side with tin, and into which the
door will tit tightly when it closes,
by moving on its track, the inside
Of the casing being wedge-shaped.
The casing on the opposite side
must fit the door closely 80 as to
leave no cracks at the sides of the
door. To keep the door open a
small bolt is placed on the inside Of
the door jamb, the pressure of the
door keeping the bolt in position.
On the underside of the arch or top
of the door is a wire having a joint
or link III the center, this link being
soldered with fusible metal that will
melt at 1902 Fair. Just above the
bolt that holds the door open is a
weight supported by a wire con-
nected with the wire holding the
fusible link. This weight moves
in guides and isWedge-shaped below.
The threshold of the door should
be a brick or stone to list fire, and
high enough to keep out water in
case the room is flooded. From the
reports and experiments it appears
that such door is thoroughly re-
liable, the soft metal link parting
even in the heat of a fire in build
ing on the opposite side of the
street, and allowing the weight to
fall, pushing the bolt one side and
permitting the door to close. Such
wooden Uncovered doors and win
dow shutters are reported to stand
unharmed through severe trials
when iron doors have failed, melted
or warped under less exposure to
fire. The door and the automatic
device for closing it are officially
recommended by some of the lead
ing fire insurance companies of this
country.-Firena93'S Journal.
