BuyiEg UB Niagara.

Some of the men owning property
near Niagara Falls will be deeply
panied by the report of the commits
sioners appointed by the state Of New
York to appraise the land for an in
ternationaI park. They have aceus-
toned themselves to figuring on the
water power as part and parcel of their
estates, and as this is undoubtedly
great, and, if ever utilized, valuable.
they havs made millionaires out of
themselves in their minds eye. The
commissioners brushed aside all these
assumptions and made a wards cover
ing the actual valRe of the property
without furtaer reference to the falls
than was necessary in fix ne the value
of lands so beautifully situated. The
owners demanded s., 600, 900 for their
property. The commissioners allow
t1em about 81, 400, coo.
There is no reason to doubt that the
value of the land has been placed at
fair figure Property owners 1t that
vicinity have long made intolGra5le
Tuisances of themselves by their at
tempts to monopolize one of the great
est natural wonders of the world.
Finding some objection to this they
threatened to dispose of their interests
to manufacturing companies, thus
destroying the scenery and making
merchandise OF a water fall which
should be preserved to delight and
impress the sight-seers of all ages.
The international park enterprise
will, when carried out, do away with
the annoyance to which tourists have
long been subject and guarantee the
freedom of the river at that point
from manufacturing.

Facts About silk Worms.
Land and Water

LAM anu W dtcE
TIE ideas of the ancients upon the
subject of the origin Of silk were
rather vague, some surprising 1t to be
the entraiis of spider, which fatteI
ed for years upon paste, at length
burst, bringing forth its silken treas
ure; others that it was spun b.
hideous horned grub in hard nests of
clay-ideas which were not dispelled
till the sixth century, when the first
silk worm reached Conetantinople,
introduced and cultivated, like many
other benefits, by the wandering
monks. From thence they were soon
imported into Italy, which for long
period remained the headquarters of
the European silk trade, until Henry
", of France, seeing the mulberry
trees were as plentyful in his southern
provinces as in Italy, introduced silk
worm culture with great success.
Kirkby mentions the following in
teresting extract from the Courier de
Lyon, 1916, as showing the extraordin-
AIRY quantity ofsilk there annually con-
sumed at that period: Raw silk an
nually consumed there, 1000, 900 of
kilogrammes, equal to 2,2O5, ia
pounds English, on which the waste
IN manufacturing is 8 per cent. As

Naturalists say that the feet of the
common working bee exhibit the com
bination of a basket, a brush and
pair of pincers. The brush, the hairs
of which are arranged IN symmetri,
cal rows, are only to be seen with the
microscope. With this brush of fairy
delicacy the bee brushes its velvet
robe to remove the pollen dust with
which it becomes loaded while suck
ing up the nectar Another article,
followed like a spoon, receives all
the gleanings which the bee carries
to the hive. Finally, .by opening
them, one upon another, by means of
hinge, these two pieces become a
pair of piucers, which render the i'm
portant service in the construction of
the combs.

There is a sunken forest of white
cedar in New Jersey which has been
mined for timber over seventy years.
The industry of digging the sunken
logs is carried on by the people of
Dennisville, village which was
brought into existence through the
buried wealth of lumber in this vicin-
ity. Over the sunken forest trees Of
large size are growing. and in many
instances these are cut away to reach
the more valuable timber three or
four feet below the surface. The
sunken trees are of enormous size.
Their age is matter of curious con-
lecture tits probable they were buried
many centuries ago by the action of
an earthquake.

curately show lg the appearance of all the styles
of organs regularly made by them, with detailed
descriptions of the capacity of each; together
with quite full mention of the general modes of

which their organs have been received all over
the world; with accounts Of their triumph at all
the great comparisons of such instruments at
Worlds Industrial Exhibitions for many years;

'.Melodeons," which had not and did not deserve
much favor with musicians, enjoying very limited
sales at prices varying from $40 to Sl25. Now
$1,000 organs are made yearly in the United
States which are sold in all civilized countries at
prices from 81 to 81, $50 or more.

ONLY A PIN.
Only pin,
And 1t calmly lay
In the shining light
OF a bright MONDAY.
Only boy,
He saw that pin
And fixed on IL look intent
Till boy and pin alike were bent.
Only chair
II had no business standing there.
The boy he put on fendish grin,
And on the seat of that chair he fixed that PIN
Only man,
He sat on that chair,
And as he rose
SO old his hair
Only yell!
But an honest one;
1t lacked all elements Of fun,
And man, and boy, and pin and chair,
In wild confusion mingled there.
