In tropical climates the little air blad
ders which support the seawracks are of
great service; for the masses of seaWeed
are several hundred feet long and of con-
siderable height, having stems the thick
ness of mans thigh, and branches and
dropping stems which support innumera-
bic forms of animal life such as corals,
crabs, worms of different kinds, together
with moses and weeds Of the sea, and
being beside place of deposit for innu-
mcrable eggs of various creatures. In
Scotland the tender parts of the sea-
wracks, known as tanglcs, are used as
food. and when cooked are considered
choice diet for cattle The stems of a
very hard, horny variety OF the sea
wracks are used as knife handles. They
are cut in short pieces, and while moist
or green the blade is forced in at one
end. When the stem dries it clings
firmly to the knife-bladc. Being gnarled
and horny it resembles bucks horn. and
when tipped with metal and full finished,
forms neat, inexpensive knife handle.
The rose-tangles are higher up in the
scale Of vegetable life, and their delicate
tlnts renders them very beautiful. Of
these, pulse is an important variety to
the Scotch and Irish, who, beside using
it as food, both in lis raw state and
cooked in milk, find it a substitute for
tobacco. Carrageen moss is another
kind of rose-tangie from which a nour-
ishing Jelly is made. The Chinese use one
variety Of e-tanglc as a chief ingredient
in other CLOSING preparations; twenty
seven Thousand pounds are brought an
nually to Canton and sold at from six to
eighteen nice pcr mound

How Doglish Destroy Mackerel.

Captain Joseph Smith, OF Gloucester,
Mass, says that while oil Wood Island,
Maine, he observed what he supposed to
be at first moderate sized school of
mackeral at the surface of the water.
ON closer inspection, however, he found
that only a small number were mackerel,
probably not exceeding more than half
or three quarters of barrel, and these
were completely surrounded by an i'm
mense school of dOgtish. The body of
dogtiSh was formed in such a manner as
to inclose the mackerel on all sides and
underneath, completely preventing their
escape. Captain Smith had an oppor-
tunily of observing the mackerel closely,
and says that many Of them, he noticed,
were bitten by the dogish, some being
deprived of their tails, and others hay
ing wounds on their sides. lie is of the
opinion that every one Of the mackerel
was ultimately eaten by the dogish. 1t
is probable he thinks, that at first
much larger body of mackels was sur
rounded. The school of dogtsh lac es-
timated to contain at least enough for
one hundred barrels. Another school
of dogfsh surrounding small body of
mackerel was seen on the same day.

man may cut down his trees without the

that wood Is tbs staple fuel of the country.

Co1D WEATHER. February, 1885, stands as second on the record forsevera weather among the Februaries of the present cen tury. The first place is accorded to the terrible winter of 1856, which, accord ing to statistics, was the hardest since 1779-SO. The first snow fell OH November 22d, and remained all winter with frequent ad !itions, keeping it at depth of three feet, burying roads aud fences. There was no dripping at the caves, even on the south side of buildings al winter, and the thermometer at 9 o'clock on Il sunny morn ing, in the full face of the sun, marked 25 des r. es bel Zero.

 Some of the New York city democratic officials who have been comparing the sal aries pad by the government with those pad by the city have wisely concluded not to seek change. They find that the further they get away from the city treas ury the worse off they will be. Thus the register, county clerk and sheriff are each paid more than the president of the United States, while the judges of the common pleas, superior and supreme courts are paid half as much again as the chief jus tice of the United States. The corpora tion counsel receives half as much again salary as the attorney general, while there are numerous officials, such as heads of departments, police justices and aqueduct commissioners, who are paid salaries equal aud in some cases greater than cabinet off, cers. This inequality runs all through the service, an assistant district-attorney receiving $l, 300 year more salary than the solicitor-general of the United States.

 A VALUABLE MINUTE.-The Pennsylva- nia railroad as is well known, runs truly ''limited" train between New York and Chicago, and pledges itself to land it's pas sengers within two hours of schedule time or else to return to each of them five dol lars. And the road lives up to it's prom ise. The only way that it escapes the pay ment is by avoiding the offense. Of course, there are various interesting ex- periences involved in the daily history of the trains, one of which runs each way ev- cry day. Recently the "limited" from Chicago reached Philadelphia two hours and ten minutes late. Schedule time on the division between Philadelphia and New York is about as fast as most trains can run ; but the engineer was reminded of the advisabilty of pushing things, and he put his engine to it's speed Suddenly he met danger signal and had to stop. The taack was temporarily blocked. That was quickly cleared away, and faster time than before was made, and fnelly the engineer had the satisfaction of stopping hls train at the end of the route only one hour and fifty-nine minutes late. That one minute saved was worth $250 to the Pennsylvania Railroad company
