Phenomenal Ability in Spelling Long
Words backwards.

John Harrison. who resides at Deals
Island, about 20 years Of age, is possessed
of wonderful mental powers. He is
dredger, and says he only attended school
about two months altogether in his life.
This great power consists in his ability to
spell backward any word, no matter how
long or intricate, that he can spell for
ward, or that is spelled forward in his
presence, and that too with the greatest
celebrity
The American correspondent. hearing
of his wonderful power met him on Deals
Island andsrequested him to give an exhi-
bition of his strange talent, which he
readily consented to do Such words a.
incompatibility, incongruous, irreprchen-
sible, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and many
other long words were spelled in his pres
ence, which he Immediately spelled back
ward with lightning rapidity and without
the least hesitation. lie never fails, but
always spells the words correctly back
ward as they are spelled to him forward,
and if he spells the word incorrectly, no
matter how long it be, it is always the
fault of the questioner. Any word that
he is familiar with and can spell forward
he can also spell backward, and words
that he is not familiar with and cannot
spell forward he can spell backward when
they are spelled in his presence.
He does not spell the words backwards
by the sound, because in many instances
the letters make no sound. He says that
he does not even carry the word in his
mind as it is spelled forward, and cannot
explain by what means he is enabled to
do it. He says he first showed signs of
this wonderful talent while he was going
to school, the short time that he atten-
ded, by spelling backward the words pro-
pounded by his teacher, much to the
amusement OF the teacher and the other
scholars-Baltimore American,

How Many Eggs Will Hen Lay?

We often read of hens that lav 200
eggs a year, says the Farm and GdT~
den, but such statements do more harm
than good, by inducing the ineXperi-
enced to believe such to be "a fact.
ANY one who is familiar at all with
poultry knows that during the fallzall
hens undergo the process of mouiting
or shedding of feathers. This requires
usually about three months, or one
hundred days. As there are only 365
days in year. we have 265 days left
after deducting the moulting period.
If hen lays regularly an egg every
other day she will lay 1873 eggs; but
she will probably lose three months In
Matching out her broods; even if she is
a non-sitter she will take a resting
place. AS moulting is a heavy drain
on the system, but few hens lay dur.
ing that process. though there are ex-
ceptiohs, and where the number OF
eggs exceed one every two days, it ill
be found that a pondlng reduct.
ion occurs during some portion of the
year. While we admit that certain in :
dividual hens have been known to lay
as many rs $50 to even 5l75 eggs in a
year, such cases are rare; and if one
has a flock OF twenty hens or more he
should be satisfied if there is an aver
age of one hundred eggs year for the
whole flock, or rather nine dozen.
Four dozen out of the nine should re-
alize thirty cents per dozen, three doz-
en- should bring about twenty cents
per dozen, an two dozen should real
ize fifteen cents per dozen, on an aver
age of about twenty three cents. OF
course this calculation may be wrong
! but it Will convey an idea of what may
be expected.

The Wealth of Chill.

The worlds supply Of nitrate OF
soda and guano has been obtained
from the arid rainless west coast re-
gions Of South America. Along the
southern coast of Peru are series Of
rocky, desolate islands on which no
rain ever falls and only the gentlest
breezes sweep. There are AT present.
rs there have been for centuries, my
riads of sea birds along the coast. and
breed and die upon these islands.
Guano is n mixture of the eXcrement
of these seals and birds. the decom-
posed bodies Of both and the bones OF
the fishes which have been their food.
These deposits have been accum ulat-
ing for centuries and in many places
are hundreds Of feet deep. baked into
a solid mass BY the tropical sun.
These masses of guano were worked

should have enriched Peru, but it

During the Wal the Chlllans seized the

There have been no exports Of guano

making preparations u resume the
shipments, and il will probably re n
the market again next year.
