A curious observation concerning
some of the Australian acacias (Acacid
dealbata) acclimatized in India Is recor-
ded by DR.. Brands, director of the In
dia Forest Department. These trees
were probably introduced on the Nil
girls several years before 1S45. They
were known to flower in 1845 in Octo-
Der, the month of their Australian
towering time; bat in 1860 they flower
ed in September; in 1870, in August, in
1873, In July; and in 1892 they began to
flower in June-the spring month in
India, corresponding to October IN Aus.
tralia' 1t is remarkable that it should
have taken the trees nearly forty years
after removal to regain their habit OF
lowering in spring.

A Singular Motor for Vessels.

A 1OO-foot boat with a singular
motive power is building in a Brooklyn
ship-yard, the design of Mr.. Townsend,
foreman Of the yard. A little ten
horsepower steel engine will be placed
in her hull and used to compress air,
%5OOpounds to the square inch, which
will then be stored in a vessel similar
to those used In soda-water fountains.
1t will then be mixed with vaporized
crude petroleum, which forms an OK
plosive to be fired by an electric spark
through cylinders leading to holes in
the side of the vessel. This causes a
powerful conclusion on the water and
gives the motive power. There are
two holes on either side, twelve feet
from the stern, which run almost par
allel with the sides. These are used
for forward propulsion. Two more,
line feet further forward, at right
angles with the sides, will stop the
boat by a simultaneous discharge or
turn her by a single discharge. BY
experiments already tried it has been
demonstrated that seventy explo-
sions a minute can be obtained, each
one with force enough to blow an or
binary fagstone eighty or ninety feet.
1t is said that any kind Of vessel aloat,
either sailing or steam, can be altered
in a very short time and the necessary
engines put in. The boat when launch
ed will be rugged as a schooner and
the trial will then take place.

"The Japanese have proved them
selves such apt learners" a y the st.
James Gazette, "that they are already
beginning to improve on the methods
of their instructors. To people of
their artistic temperament the old Eu-
'ropean plan of christening a ship by
breaking a bottle of wine against her
sides is distasteful; and so, when late
y a name was given to H. I. Ms
ship Katsuragi. an imperial princess
gently broke a fragile cage against the
steel plates and by so doing liberated
q pair Of doves. At first sight the
metaphor seems rather mixed; but
possibly an explanation may be found
for it in the fact that in the popular
Chino-Japanese mythology doves are
occasionally metamorphosed into
hawks; and the emblem may there
tore have been intended to signify that,
though in piping times of peace the
E~ats"rogi would be as harmless as a
dove, she yet contained within herself
the potentially Of a hawk"

A Woman's S arch for Gold.

Mrs. Mallen lives all alone in a little
cabin on the top Of a mountain in Col
orado. The house is 10000 feet above
the level of the sea and over 5000
feet above the nearest town of Buena
Vista. They call the mountain Gold
Hill because there are veins of gold in
it, and Mrs. Mallen works with pick
and shovel to get the gold out. She
blu 1t the house herself, cut the timber
with her own brown hands and made
the furniture from designs Of her own.
Two soap-boxes cut into the shape Of
chairs serve as a seat; the bed is made
of a swinging interlacing of pine
branches. Mrs. Mallen has lived all
alone in this cabin for two years, and
fiercely resents any intrusion on her
privacy. She carries water from q
spring nearly a nn.n away, and on
Saturdays carries up the steep noun
tain path a load of supplies that would
stagge- the strongest man. Sho sup
ports herself by doing odd jobs about
the village, and when she has earned
enough to live for a week she goes
back to her cabin and makes sallies
from there, pick in han'l, to search for
gold. Mrs. Mallen is Il robust. but not
particularly handsome woman.-ctn-

aside only the city Of Brooklyn. This

Bavaria leaves out Of account that de-

from the main body Of the country by
100 miles and lying On the Rhine. The
