= scheme Tor the erection of a bridge
over the English channel is in active
consideration among French capitalists
and engineers. The projected bridge
would be twenty-five miles long, rest
ing on piers of concrete and masonry
100 feet long by 100 broad, placed at
intervals of $50 yards. The causeway
of the bridge would be 10 feet above
the sea level, to permit the passage of
ships, and would be 100 feet wide.
The estimated cost is 5000, 900, 900. 1t
appears that the channel is not so deep
as generally supposed. There are shall
lows ont from Folkestone not over
twenty feet from the surface, the depth
from these shadows to the shore on
either side varying from 100 to 100
feet.

SENSES OF ANIMALS.


At the Philosophical Institute. Edin-
burgh, Sir John Lubbock delivered a
lecture on 1.-The Sense and Senses of
Animals" In the course of his re-
marks the lecturer said that every one
would gratefully admit that the dog
was n loyal and true and affectionate
friend. But, when they came to con-
slider the nature of the animal, their
knowledge was, he said, very limited.
That arose from the fact that people
had tried rather to teach animals than
to learn from them. 1t had occurred
TO him that some such method as that
which was followed in the case of deaf
muteS might prove instructive if adapt
ed to the case of dogs. lie had tried it
with a black poodle belonging to him.
self. lie then went on to relate several
experiments lie had made with pieces
of cardboard with different words
marked on them. lie had taken two
pieces of card, ont black and the other
with the word ''food'' marked upon it.
lie had put the latter on a saucer COLI
tanning some bread and milk, and the
black card on an empty saucer. The
dog was not allowed to eat until be had
brought the proper card to him. The
experiment was repeated over again,
and in about ten days the dog began to
distinguish the card with the letters on
ii from the plain card. 1t took a long.
er time to make the dog realize the diff
ference between the different words.
In order to try and discover whether
the dog could distingui colors, he pre-
pared SIX cards, making two of them
blue, two yellow and two orange. He
put n of each OH the floor and tried tc
get the dog to bring him a card with
the same color as the one which he
showed the dog in his hand. After try.
ing this for three months lie found that
his experiment in this direction was a
failure. From experiments which he
had made he had come to the conclu-
sion that aunts hand not the power OF
addressing each other. His impression
on the whole was that bees and ants
were not deaf, but they heard sounds
so shrill that they were beyond our
hearing. There was no doubt about
insects seeing. lie then went on to re-
late several experiments he had made
with the view of discovering whether
different insects could distinguish diff.
ferent colors, and had any preference
for particular colors. The colors or OBJ.
jects must, he said, present a very diff
ferent impression upon insects than Oh
human beings.

10 PRESERVE ORANGEs.-Cuoose
fresh oranges with a firm, smooth peel,
and put them for "a night into cold wa
ter. TIE next day they are boiled in a
deep pan with much water for full half
An hour. The fruit does not sink, but
swims on the top. Therefore, Il must
be very careful, and with "a spoon turn
them often, SO that they are alike
throughout. Tie oranges are then put
INTO an earthen basin filled with cold
water until they are cold. They are
laid on a sieve or cloth during the night
IN a cold place. The next day the
oranges are divided into pieces with the
skin on, say about six or eight pieces,
according TO the divisions. and put into
tin boxes; finely powdered refined sugar
poured upon them, so that they are
quite covered, the lid soIdered on, and
boil from twenty to twenty-five min
utes. If the oranges are put into
glasses they are covered with boiled SUI
gar, which is poured away after a few
days, boiled again and poured over the
fruit until the third day, when the
glasses are corked and covered with
bladder, which is tied On. Glasses have
til' advantage, that the contents max
be- taken out by degrees; when a tin bog
Is opened 1t must be used up quickly.

SEASoNABLE SUGGEsTIONs.-Al.
though the dairymen are gradually be-
coming educated to a knowledge of
the advantages of pure-bred dairy
stock, yet many of them require train
ing in the art of making butter. To
learn to make ''gilt-edge" butter is
equivalent to learning a trade, and
millions Of dollars are annually lost to
our dairymen through imperfect know.
ledge in making butter. In Europe
schools of instruction are rapidly in
creasing, and there is a necessity for
something of the kind in this country.
The best results in modern dairying
will be secured by those who intelligen.
tly seek for better knowledge of the
art of buttermaking, especially in con-
nection with the creamery system, who
