the peculiarly of the soil, climate and
general physical conditions that each pos
sessed. The Netherlands having 20 pro-

'The Boston Symphony Orchestra gave
a most charming entertainm ent last night.
It was a frst-class concert 10 every req
pect and gave universal satisfaction. The
futist, Burose, is great artist. The solo
violinist, Willis NOVEL;, ranks among the
few eminent performers now in this coun-
try. The ensemble playing was beauti-
full. Miss Crushing is possessed of fine,
smooth voice; has great range and goou
method. She presented pleasing con-
trast to singers usually accompanying
orchestral clubs, both in appearance,
talent and voice.

At the Royal Institution, Prof Ray
Lancaster accounted for the absence
of eyes in the fishes of the famous I'M
foreground Kentucky caves in the fol-
lowing way.-A great flood carries to
the bottom of the Kentucky caves,
some thirty miles below the surface, a
number of fish, am ong whose numer-
GUS offspring will be some defective in
sight, as some babies are born blind,
or without any eyes at all. The fish
who can see some faint glimmerings
of light will swim away toward that
light, while those will remain that
cannot perceive the CLEANS.
This with every succeeding genera
ton would occur, the stronger in
sight swimming away and the weaker
remaining, and as the breeding
would therefore occur between those
of the worst sight fish would be born
with weaker eyes and weaker until
born blind. The professor also ac-
counted for the white patch on rab-
bits tails He explained that as rab-
bits are gregarious animals, signal
ling is OF great advantage TO them,
and that the white patch so conspicu-
Gus against the darker fur of the rest
OF the body Is OF use as a signal.
Hares, on the other hand, being soil
tary animals, do not stand in need Of
a signal. Hence, the tall Of the hare
Is gbt conspicuous In It's colora.

A foraging party of mosquitoes hunted
us up during the night, and in the morn
ing Miss Picklebottle and the girls had
noses resembling incandescent mock
oranges, and the young men were COM
PEELED to visit the village blacksmith to
procure monkey wrenches wherewith to
superinduce themselves into their hats.
That day we spent in fixing up the tent
and playing "guess." "Guess" is played
by endeavoring TO ascertain where the
kerosene leaves off and where the coffee
begins, and in sorting the ants from the
bread, ham, sugar and condensed milk.
The previous proprietor of the tent had,
for the purposes of future Identification,
stencilled his name all over it with black,
fat ink, and when the rain got through
with it the members of the party re-
sembled travelling Kindergartens and
carried around pretty nearly all the let
tiers of the alphabet on their clothes.
This might be referred to as bad spell OF
weather if my life was insured.
OF course there wasn't sun enough to go
round, and so one of our party had to Dor
row an axe of the apostles in our neighbor-
hood, for the purpose of hewing up some
of the forest to make a fire with, and while
busily engaged in doing SO he severed his
connection with two of his largest, fattest
toes, and for the rest of the week he trav-
elled around camp with his feet attired in
boxing gloves after we had buried his
toes.
Toward the latter part of the week
camping out began to be irksome. The
storm continued to send in its latest re-
turns, and the situation became largely
and glOomily monotonous.

AOoest
The very latest fad in bong tong circles
is camping out and the girlies and boyies
are going fairly or unfairly wild over it.
The mixture necessary for n camping-out
party is two equal parts of male and fe-
male gender, the latter to be picked when
rare-ripe and the former culled when not
over fresh; two tents, or a single sixteen,
button marquee with separate compart-
ments; several or more hammocks, sew
eral or more hams that are not mock
canned meats in sufficient quantity, butt
ter. cheese, eggs, coffee, tea, sugar,
condensed milk, fish hooks, lines and
rods, one or two guns, cots, .quantum
suf," with their Entertainments and appur-
tenances, cooking utensils and an elderly
maiden, who knows thing or two as
chaperone. A blind and deaf and dumb
elderly maiden is preferable, and If it
can be arranged so that she Can miss the
train the mixture will BE found to be so
much more palatable. With these ingre-
dents the seance i ready.

IOCAIiNO The CAMP.
The woods surrounding almost every
just now. and the contagion appears to be
spreading.
Innumerable camping parties have re-
Gently started out for the Adriondacks,
the Catsldlls and other rural alpine soli-
tudes where the landlords cease from
troubling and the board bill is at rest
The shortest way in which to get to
Lake Wherewewere Is by balloon or to
miss the train. If one catches the train
one is liable to go somewhere else. Our
party consisted of six young ladies from
the neighborhood of Murray Hill, and six
of the neighbours boys.
The party came near being broken up
the first night in camp through the
monkey-business of daddy longlegs that
tried to build nest up Miss Picklebottle's
nose after she had gone to roost. The
spider had proceeded up as far as the star
board tunnel under the good lady's eye
brows when she awoke and upset the tent.
The centre pole reached over and en-
braced the female dormitory and the DOR
mitory at once sounded as II it had pain
or was turning up for Salvation Army
hallelujah meeting There were several
other tents in the rear neighborhood, and
the rumor having spread among their oc-
cupants that tramps had broken in our
mess and were numbering us the noise
spread, and girls and men in their night
clothes inundated the woods until they
resembled the scene of an Iudian german.
We were in utter darkness, and as we
couldn't locate the buttonholes of the
tent we were compelled to sit upon the
backs of chairs all night aud officiate as
tent poles while the maidenS SnOred knot
holes in the canvas.

LOOKING HOMEWARD.
This Week Will See an Exodus of
the Summerers from Nyack.
Special to the SUNDAY Morning Ne,oa.

NYAcK, August "a, 1889. Already
preparations are being made for the
return to the city by many of
those who have been making Nyack
their summer home, and an exodus of
considerable size will take place on
September /.
The La Mont House, a large and
popular boarding house, had hop on
Thursday evening which was most
enjoyable. There are about fifty guests
stopping at the La Mont, and the
season has been a merry one for them.
REGATTA AND HOP.
A rowing regatta was given early
in the week by the Nyack Rowing
Association. This was followed by a
hop at their handsome club house,
prettily located on the Hudson.
Next week the Farmers picnic at
Rockland Lake will be the all engross-
ing affair, and active preparations are
being made to carry Nyack people to
the picnic grounds. This affair is an
annual event, and has been cele-
brated for more than quarter of q
century. People from all over the
county come to the lake ON this day
and Join in the festivities. So popular
has this picnic become that, while it
formerly was attended by only the
farmers and their families, they are
now decidedly in the minority and
the ''city folk" monopolize the pleas
ures of the day.
PLEASURES AT THE TAPPAN ZEE.
The Tappan Zee Hotel has con-
tributed more than its usual amount
of pleasure to the events of the week.
An excursion up the river in the COM
modious ferryboat, which sails hourly
from Nyack to Tarrytown, and was
chartered by Mr.. Palmer, the proprie-
tor of the hotel, was q merry affair.
The party started late in the after
noon and returned by starlight.
Among the favorite ladies at the
Tappan Zee Mrs. William +. Gratten,
of this city, is probably the most pop
ular and has made many friends.
Stopping at a cottage near the hotel
Is Miss Laura Elliott, OF Jersey City,
who is favorite belle here. She is
an exceedingly pretty girl and fine
pianiste.

Jersey City are MIR. and Mrs. j. Il.
