 The plateau being somewhat 'ited toward the west, this spot on which we had paused commanded a wide prospect on either hand Before Us, over the treetops, W. 5eheld the Cape of the Woods fringed with surf; De- hind, we not only looked down upon the anchorage and Skeleton Island, but saw clear across the spit and the eastern low lsnds-a great field of open sea upon the east Sheer above us rose the Spy-glass, here dotted with single pines, there black with precipceS. There was no sound but that of the distant breakers, mounting from all around, and the ehirp of countless insects in the brush. Not man, not sail upon the sea the very largeness of the view increased the sense of solitude.
 Silver, as he sat, took certain bearings with his compass.

 Ever since they had found the skeleton and got upon this train of thought they had spoken lower and lower, and they had al most got to whispering by now, so that the sound of their talk hardly interrupted their silence of the wood. All of a sudden, out of the middle of the trees in front of us, thin, high, trembling voice struck up the we'll known air and words:
 Fifteen men on the dead mans chest'-
 "Yo-ho-ho and bottle of rumF
 I never have seen men more dreadfully affected than the pirates. The color went from their six faces like enchantnent; some leaped to their feet some clawed hold or others; Morgan groyeled on the ground.

But the poor patient keeps right on coughing up chunks of his throat all the same. and has had to have hole cut in his windpipe to breathe through.

Hair Spring of a watch.

The making of the hair spring is really
the most delicate operation about the
manufacture of the watch. The wire Is
received in spools, and Is nothing more
than a round thread. This is run between
hardened steel rollers and fattened, and,
being wound on the roll, is then drawn
between diamond dies, which give the re-
Quired thickness and width. The spring
must be of exactly the same width and
thickness, and before being used is tested
on register which marks down to one
two hundred and fifty thousandths of an
inch.
To show to what fineness this meas
ures, a hair placed between the jaws
marked 40Oo, and moved forward half
an inch registered 1863.
OF course, every one knows that q hair
varies in thickness, but that it should be
SO exactly measured is surprise; and
when it is remembered that the hair
spring Of watch cannot vary even so
mnch as the variance in g hair from the
human head, the delicacy Of the operation
will be emphasized in the imagination.
The wire is received in lengths OF 500
yards, and in this entire length must not
vary 80. or one-thirtieth of what q hair
varies in half an inch. The spring is then
cut into lengths of twelve inches, and
these are wound, four at a time, and very
quickly, the tool resembling q large pen
holder, and turning from the end, into
the shape of a spring and of seventeen
coils. The wire is hardened, but winds
very easily, and is removed from the
winder in copper boxes. Demo

1t seems likely that carrier pigeons will
play an important part in the next great
European war. The French minister Of
war has just given orders for the organi-
zation of the many carrier pigeon stations
throughout the country upon a more sat
isfactory footing, and considerable i'm
portance is attached to the perfecting of
these arrangements. In addition to fifteen
of these stations, there are in various
parts of France 800 pigeon flying societies,
owning among them $50, 900 ''homers !"
Each OF these societies has a military or
ganization, and in case of war all the
pigeons belonging to them would be at
the service Of the intelligence depart
ment
Germany possesses abou. the same
number of carrier pigeon stations, and
there are $50 societies, with 90, 900 pigeons.
In Italy pigeons are actually in use for

The president of large bank note COM
pany in this city recently said to the
writer that it was Absolutely impossible
for any of his subordInates to steal any
thing without being detected at once.
Every imaginable safeguard is used to
prevent the company's suffering through
the dishonesty of its employees. In print
ing bank notes, or stamps, or bonds, or
tickets the paper to be used is carefully
measured beforehand by one of the higher
officials. Only enough to make the num-
ber ordered is given to the workmen, and
they are held responsible for 1t thereafter.
II single stamp or ticket is lost the doors
are locked and nobody is allowed to leave
the workshop until it Is found or salts
factoriiy accounted for.
With bank notes and bonds extra pre-
cautions are used, and they are counted
after going through each process. II q
mistake occurs all have to be done over,
and the first batch is destroyed. II one
is lost and cannot be recovered all are de-
stroyed, and q new series printed In en-
tirely different colors.
An instance of this kind occurred sew
eral years ago. A bank note company in
this city printed some bonds on contract
for the Virginia government One pack
age was stolen while they were being
transported to the treasurer. Of courss
none of them had been signed, and they
were therefore not valid; but all the rest
were at once destroyed, and new set in
different colors were ordered.-New York

Australian Mound Builders.

In Australia and the neighboring ISL

earth, which were formerly supposed to
be the tombs of departed natives. These
remarkable Misunderstanding as much as
fifteen feet in perpendicular height and
sixty feet in circumference at the base

are now known to be the incubators built
by the jungle fowl and other species Of
the small family of Megapodidae, or great
footed birds Each of these great piles
consists of fallen leaves, grasses, etc.,
which the birds deposit in place by
throwing backward with one foot. Though
the mounds are usually in dense shade,
the. decaying vegetable matter has been
found to raise the temperature at the cen
ter rs high as 95 degs. The eggs are
carefully placed with the larger end up,

The Ants and the Cyclone,

1t is stated that about century since
there appeared on the island of Grenada
numberless colonies of ants. No one
knew whence they came, but they SO
multiplied that they became fatal to the
sugar cane, and as that was the prin-
cipal industry the gravest results were
apprehended. All expedients failed to
dislodge them, and the government, in
ITS, offered a reward OF 800, 600 for any
invention to destroy them. In 1850 nature
came to their relief in the way of a terrible
cyclone and rainfall, which blew down
what cane was standing drowned out the
ants, and new prosperity followed
