four divisions, and the bees, which are of
iron, are moved by two magnets, car
ried just under the membrane, by the
clock-work inside the tamborine.-Ar-

Not long ago the floors and other
woodwork in the house of John Wilson,

The farmer of India uses a pillow made

inch wide and half an inch thick, which
is sharpened at the lower end and fixed
in triangular piece Of wood attached to
the yoke on the necks of the bullocks by
a rope of MANILA grass. This plow tears
up the ground like harrow, and by
hard work can be made to go over nearly
an acre of ground in a day. The opera

killing Fish I'm tho Canary Isles.

One day when we were on the beach
peering about among the pools at low
tide. we saw three men come to the edge
and gaze intently into the water, point
ing at something therein with great
earnestness. A couple of them i'm
mediately stripped to their trousers and
waded to an outlying rock. Standing
thereon for moment and shading their
eyes with their hands they again care
fully peered into the water. Then saw
one of them throw something into the
sea- 1t was a small cartridge of dyna-
mite, which in second exploded, cast
ing up the water violently. The cart
ridge had ,use which was lighted from
one of their cigarettes-for all were
smoking. Apparently every one smokes
all the time. Instantly after the ex-
plosion the men sprang into the waves
and swan energetically thither. Then
we saw that they had flung the torpedo
into the midst of a school of fish, and
that it had stunned many of them, who
were floating helplessly on the surface
One man carried a cord, on which he
strung them through the gills as fast as
they were picked up; and thus they bag
ged in few minutes fourteen nice fish
of five or six pounds weight each. The
men seemed as much at home in the
water as ducks.-Canary Isles Cor. De-

The Tree-Kilier of the Isthmus.

One of the forest curiosities of the 18TH
mus of Darien and lower Central Amer
lea is the tree-killer (matapalo) This
starts in life as a climber upon the trunks
of large forest trees, and, owing to its
marvelously rapid growth soon reaches
the lower branches. 1t then begins to
throw out many shoots. which entwine
themselves all around the trunk and
branches, and also aerial tendrils, which
as soon as they reach the ground take
root. In few years this gigantic para
site will completely envelop the trunk of
the tree which has upheld it, and kill it.
The whole of the inner dead tree will
then rot away, leaving the hollow mata-
palo standing alone and fiourishing.-
