A French smuSS.er's Dogs.

The smuggler trains his dogs one by one
and always at night. In the day time he
walks across the frontier, accompanied by
one of his pupils, and goes to visit his accom-
plice, in whose house be leaves the dog 1t is
detained till after dark, when it receives q
sufficiently smart beating to make it glad to
scamper home to its master, who welcomes 1t
to an excellent supper This routine is re-
peated several times, till the dog can find its
way home on the darkest night without hest
tation. 1t is then promoted to carry a small
light pack containing articles Of trifiug
value, but by degrees the weight is increased
till the dog is accustomed to carry many
pounds When each dog knows its duties thor
oughly it is taught to work in company with
others, the most intelligent in each pack being
exempt from carrier service and taught to
act as scouts, to ascertain the whereabouts Of
possible foes, and to enable the main body to
avoid the danger of falling into ambush.
The method of training the customs dogs
is, of course, quite different From their
earliest puppyhood they are taught to play
hide and seek with pieces Of tobacco and
small bags of coffee or rolls of lace When G
or months old, their education in these mat
tiers is taken seriously in hand, and they are
taught to sit quietly in ambush, never bark
ing, but merely giving low growl or cock
ing their ears to attract the attention Of their
master whenever they detect any unusual
sound. Should they be guilty of barking,
they are, of course, punished, but a wise dog
is rewarded with Jumps of sugar After some
practice a well trained excise dog will scent
out even one solitary smG9gler dog at a, dis

Tho Man "who Had the Idea"

topic, say Of the photograph, and you find he
had the idea long before Mr. Edison was
heard Of II you press him, and ask hun why
ever he did not bring his discovery forward,
he tells you that it was too much trouble. IL
some great composer astonishes the world by
setting Paradise Lost" as a comic opera,
you find it is no new notion to him; he had
the idea loaG ago, and had often thought OF
suggesting it TO that very composer. Should
an r. A. come before the world with q start

the idea OF that very subject for painting,
and now rejoices to See his idea carried out.

an eminent physician for seasickness, say

Description of q waterspout.

Eye witnesses describe the waterspout as
presenting a most impressive and sublime
spectacle. It formed about half way be-
tween Point Clear and Battles wharf, and
proceeded slowly toward the shore, roaring
at first with a very loud noise. 1t struck
Battles wharf near the shore end, and cut
it off as neatly as if it had been sawed off.
The spout sucked up & great deal Of splin-
tered wood and went dashing inland, carry
ing with it a mass of whirling debris, in the
midst of which hundreds of fish were min
gled The waterspout proceeded up the land,
tore OF tho corner of barn, and then fell
to the ground with a loud noise, depositing
the load of broken wood and fish.
Capt. L. Il. kennerly gives a graphic ac-
count Of the phenomenon He says that he
watched the waterspout from beginning to
the end. There was a very heavy black
cloud in the sky off the point, and all the
clouds in the nelghborhood were seen
moving toward the center of the black cloud
he then knew that a waterspout was form,
ing, and called attention to the atmospheric
distur banoe Presently the water of the bay,
about lOO yards of the end Of long wharf,
began to boil and whirl around with a loud
noise This whirlpool was directly beneath
formed in funnel shape and let down point,
revolving in a direction contrary to the
whirlpool below Soon the two bodies Of
water joined in forming a column about
fifty feet in diameter in the middle and reach
ing up about mile in the air
As soon as the junction was formed the
greater part of the rushing water ceased.
The column stood apparently motionless for
about fifteen minutes, and had angle with
the horizon OF about sixty degrees. The fun
mel at the top was dead black, but the body
of the waterspout was slate color. At the bot
tom. where the spout spread out into pyra
mid, the water was green and white 1t was q
magnificent sight. Then the whole mass be-
gan moving toward Battles, and came ma
jestically along, bending more and more as 1t
advanced. When it reached the shore, Just
where the wharf joins the shore, the spout
bent in the middle, and a report of electric
discharge and fash of lightning announced
that the spout was broken.
The greater part of the water was sucked
up in the heavens as the spout parted in the
middle and the remainder fell with a great
noise, enveoping the wharf and breaking ii
down for a distance of perhaps fifty feet,
reaching from the shore to a small house
situated ON the wharf. The effects Of the
spout were felt on land slightly 1t was only
a remnant of the gyrating water that hit tbs
house on land and the damage resulting was

New Works Death siachiaes

The electrical apparatus for the ex- ecu,ion of the death sentence upon persons convicted of murder in New York State, has been bought, and will be erected in each of the three State prisons--Auburn, Clinton and Sing Sing,-in a few days. Gen. Austin Lathrop, Superintendent of State Prisons, closed the trade with Harold ?. Brown, the electrlelan, of New Yerk at Albany last week. The cost will be about Ss,0o0, s2o00 less than the State appropriated. Mr. Brown sold to the State three Westinghouse dynamos. These produce what is known as the alternating current, in contradistinctlon 10 the "centinous' and "pulsating" currents. They are dynamos which were made fer electric lighting, and have each pressure of 1000 volts" It ha. been demon strated that the alternating current will kill at 145 volts. In addition to a Westinghouse dynamo, each prison will require an 'exclter, to be used as an auxiliary to the dynamo; a strong oaken char, in which the con- vict IS to sit and be killed, an electrical cap and electrical shoes. The elec- trlcal cap is made of metal, covered with sponge, which Is saturated with salt water before being put on the convict's head When it is on 1t is called an "electrode, and the other "electrode' 10 be put on the cenvlct's feet is a heavy pair of tightly laced shoes with sponge inside.
