Bounding sheII.Eish.

In the course of story of day on
Peconic bay, Long Island, Frank Wilke-
son tells, in the New York Sun, this lit
tic incident: by chance we had selected
spot to lunch on in front of which was
bed of scalops that were moving. It
was curious spectacle. Shell fish that
had always supposed were anchored
firmly to the bottom of the bay by the
weight of their shells, danced up and
down in the water as q flock of bright
colored butterflies at play. The scallops
would rise rapidly, with many iutter
to the surface of the water, their varie-
gated colored shells flashing in the sun
shine. When they reached the surface
they expelled bubble of air and sank
obliquely to the bottom. The smooth
water bubbIed as though boiling fierce
". Singing out a large scallop that
had red shells, I Watched it closely. It
rose to the surface three times in five
minutes. The water was about three
feet deep. Each time it sank it did 50
obliquely. The three successive rises
and falls moved the shell fish about
eighteen inches from the position it oc-
cupied when I first saw it. This scallop
bed was several acres in area. All the
fish composing it were busiIy engaged in
this apparent play. Judged that there
must be some concert of action among
them. Talking to Edwards about it
while eating our tiny clam bake, he said;
These scallops are not playing. Their
action is the result of an intelligent pur-
pose to get into deeper water. They are
moving. They will continue to rise and
fall obliquely until they have left the
ground they now occupy. In week
from now there will not be one Of these
millions Of shell fish here. They may
be hundred yards further out in the
bay. They will continue to travel until
satisfied with the feeding ground aud
the depth Of water. When satisfied they
will probably remain there until fit for
market"

A Rabbits Good Deed.

The Rev. Colin Anderson, formerly
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, of Shasta, and also of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, of Red Bluff,
aud now a justice of the peace at AL
tubras, related to US strange incident
which had recently occurred in his life
while visiting at the latter place. The
following are the facts: Some thirty-two
years ago Mr.. Anderson was separated
from his mother, he being then but FIVE
years of age. The separation was caused
by his father having while at college in
Scotland, the land of Mr.. A. 3 birth,
secretly married poor farmers daugh-
ter, both being miners. which greatly
incensed his parents, who were members
Of the aristocracy, and finally after five
years caused their separation Mr.. A.
was always taught by his father to be-
lieve his mother was dead, aud he has
fully believed that she was dead for the
last thirty-two years, and never believed
anything to the contrary until few
days since, when he received a letter
from her from Scotland.
One evening last winter, as Mr.. An
derson was going home after dark, car
rying a lantern, rabbit ran across the
road. and followed up in front of Mr..
A., and seem to be bewildered, allowing
him to take it by the ears and carry it
home. The local papers got hold of this
little incident, and wrote it up in good
shape, and the article was quite exten-
sively copied, finally finding its way into
Canadian paper, where it came under
the eye of 9 friend of Mr.. AIS mother,
who sent the paper to her in Scotland,
and she Immediately rejoiced in the
knowledge that she had found her long,
lost boy, and at once wrote him long
letter fully explaining everything, the
date and cause Of her separation from
Mr.. A. s father, and how she had always
thought her son numbered with the
dead. Mr.. A. at once answered her letter,
and is completely overjoyed to know his
dear old mother still lives. Mr.. A. states
that he was born on May 10th, left
home on the 10th Of May, and received
the letter from his mother on May TO-

TIE CRICKETS.

When days grow short, and daisies lose
Their white caps on the hillside cold,
And by the sunny garden wall
The poppies red umbrellas fold,
The crickets their light fiddles pipe together,
A tuneful crowd in spite of autumn weather.
The old folk, musing by the hearth
Within the pleasant twilight's glow,
Smile as these airy revelers
Ring softly from the chinks below.
"Old summers, old summers" they seem to
sigh together,
The crickets and their hearts, in autumn
weather.
The children playing by the fire
Are listening, too, to each clear note,
And laugh while shafts of rosy flame
Mount the old chimney's blackened throat.
Tomorrow, tomorrow" they seem to sing
together,
The crickets and their hearts, in autumn
weather.
And out within the barren field,
Dame Nature, sitting all alone,
Talks to herself, and loves to hear
From the brown thatch their last faint
tone.
''To sleep now, to sleep now,n they seem to
sigh togc her.

weather

Carriage Bells.

A recent innovation in the means OF
communication between the occupants of
closed carriage and the driver or foot
man bids fair to come into general use.
The old-fashioned way of sticking the
head out of the window and shouting
ones self hoarse in the effort to make
the driver understand, has been dis
carded as custom of ancient times. A
speaking tube, composed of flexible ma
terial, reaching from the drivers seat to
the person inside, has been the popular
means of communication for years, but
it is now giving way before an innova-
ton which both attracts attention and
satisfies vanity.
Carriages are now constructed with
bell on the drivers seat, which is pulled
by cord running back to location in
the carriage where it can be easily
reached. The driver is communicated
with by signals which may be originally
conceived and practiced in the privacy
of the home stable. The signals consist
Of rings on the bell.
The other afternoon carriage glisten-
ing with plate glass and varnish, from
some one of the handsome residences on
Woodward avenue, dashed into side
street on the Cass farm. A silver bell,
of a soft and harmonious tone. sounded
three times. The speed of the
brightly caparisoned steeds immedi-
ately slackened, and the carriage drew
quickly up to the curb-stone. The
bell next sounded twice, and the equip
ss5S "
residence. The bell struck five times,
and two richly dressed ladies alighted
and went into the house. The carriage
drove away, returned in five minutes,
and almost at the same moment the
ladies appeared at the front door. They
got into the carriage without word
passing between them and the driver.
They rang the bell once and the car
riage drove straight ahead. At the
corner the bell struck sharply twice, and
the carriage turned to the left and dis
appeared.
There were doubtless in this instance
also signals for turning to the right, for
turning around, for trotting and walk
ing the horses, as well as the others de-
scribed. Detroit Post.

nrake's Dream 0f Fire.

Probably many Of the readers of the
Blizzard never heard Of the strange
dream Colonel E. L. Drake, the discov-
erer of oil, had when he was boy. Of
course, all boys have dreams, and per-
haps this was no more remarkable than
many another, but in view of the
dreamer's subsequent discovery it seems
stranre
When Mr.. Drake was a mere boy he
was sitting one day upon the wide old
porch that shaded the entrance to his
fathers plain abode. Tired of his play
he lay down, boy-like, upon the porch,
and the autumn breezes, heavy with the
fragrance of the fields, lulled him to
sleep, and sleeping he dreamed. With
his brother-in infancy-he raked the
dry stubbles of the wheat field. They
tugged and toiled away until they had
accumulated a great stack of straw,
nearly half mile from the house. Then
for bonfire. While his brother watched
with gleeful anticipation, Edwin touched
a match to the pile. They watched it a
few minutes in ecstacy, but their mirth
was turned to horror when, their stack
consumed, the ground continued to
blaze and burn. They exerted all
their strength to quench it, but in vain.
The devouring flames rose higher and
higher. The fire burned deeper and
wider. Itfollowed their receding foot
steps; and now, completely terrified, the
boys turned and fled to their mother.
When they reached the house, Edwin,
breathless and guilty, buried his face ia
her lap and confessed the deed. She
took him by the hand, stepped to the
door, and after watching the spreading
blaze for moment, she said, calmly and
without reprosch: My son, you have set
the world on fire.
Nearly thirty years later these words
of his mother, as he heard them in his
dream, were recalled by the burning Of
his oil tanks a few weeks after the first
well began to produce. When the tanks
burst, and the creeping flames swept
over the surface of the creek, he may
possibly have entertained momentary
suspicion that his mothers words were
about to be fulfilled. Oil City penn. }

Omaha, Neb., has finished new Jail,
built on an entirely original plan, and
the Omaha Bee says it is a novelty well
the jail, which marks it as different from
any other, is that the cells are arranged
in the form of a great iron cylinder,
which revolves about so that only one
cell is at the opening at any one time
This cylinder is three stories high, there
being ten cells on each floor. It's weight
is forty-five TONS and this ponderous
weight is hung from above, instead Of
turning on track below. The strangest
part Of the arrangement is that the great
cylinder can be turned by simple crank
with very little force, a man with bis left
hand moving it readily. When all is
complete it is the intention to have lit
tie water motor in the basement, and then
by simply moving lever the cylinder
will be set to rotating. It is suggested
that when there are prisoners who it is
feared may be trying to get out Of the
cylinder can by motor be easily kept
moving slowly all night, SO that the
prisoners do not remain long enough in
one place to do any mischief, or even to
crawl out if they make partial break.
1t seems that prisoners have little
chance for escape from this new jail. a
cage of iron bars completely surrounds
the cylinder in which the cells are. The
entrance on each floor is guarded by two
doors. The officer standing outside does
not have to unlock even the first door,
but can swing the cylinder around until
the cell appears in which is the desired
prisoner, and then by simple movement
the inner door is open and the prisoner
can step out of his cell. Then the Off
Ger can open the other door and let the
man out, but the other prisoners are way
beyond any possible reach Of the officer.
and it is impossible for them to make
any break on him while he is taking q
man out or putting one in- &c can han
die any number Of men in the same way,
and they cannot get within reach Of him
until he chooses to let them.

Martello Towers.

Travellers on the Irish and English
coasts must have noticed succession of
round towers in open and exposed por-
tons that attract good deal of atten-
ton. These are the celebrated Martello
towers that were erected toward the close
of the last century, and were deemed as
one of the chief defenses in defeating an
invasion by French forces. About cen
tury since the duke Of Richmond had
just returned from the Mediterranean.
where he had witnessed the lombard
ment of little town on the shores of
Corsica by well equipped feet. The
cannon were of heavy caliber, but the
projectiles could make no impression on
little circular fort built Of stone, which
stood triumphantly constant fire. These
were not the days of rifed cannon.
The duke made note of the cireum-
stance, and when model had to be
adopted suggested the fort which had
done such service in the siege Of Mar
tello. The town seems now tc be for
gotten, but the name Of it in corrupted
form has, at least, got . foothold in the
English language. and may puzzle an
etymologist of the future, as indeed
the towers themselves--if few should
survive the lapse Of centuries-may con
found the Pickwicks Of coming day.
It is now proposed to destroy these
buildings and erect in their places small
iron forts in the form Of a snail's shell,
that will form difficult target to the
best rifed cannon shots at even short
range. San Francisco Chronicle.

Since the death of Sir Moses Montef-

Of longevity. Tt used to be said that no
body lived to be one hundred years Of
age. 1t was claimed that those who
stated their ages to be above ninety were
probably mistaken. But Boston paper
has been looking up centenarians whose
cases have been mentioned either in CON
sequence of their death or the ceIebra-
tion of their anniversaries, and it is said
that tho list covers more than twenty
names. It is said that in New Hamp-

pie over hundred years old. It is be-
lieved that the average Of human life il
