About Seeds.

Seeds are queer things They all

only asleep, and the moist ground will
wake them up.
They are scattered in various ways

grew. Animals carry them about, too,
in their hair, and drop them here and
there. They often stick to your own
clothes, and when you pick them of
and throw them away you help to scat
ter them, too
Some seeds have q sort Of wing to
make them fly. The seed Of the maple
is one Of these. Did you ever look at
the feathery ball OF the dandelion when
the flower is gone? Blow it and you
scatter the seed everywhere Each one
has some very fine fibers on It to help
it to fly. These send it a very great
distance. The down Of thistles has this
same seed. and . very large wing TO ny

very small. and they blow about more
easily, often lodging on the very top ol

FOB OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
At oRANDMorhER's.

The days are very short indeed
At grandmother's, 1t seems;
Things are quickly crowded in
From morn till sunset beams,
There's romping on the feather bed,
With pillows fat and light
A pugiliStc warfare, boys,
That ends in mimic fight.
We never have such fun at home,
For there we're very still;
But up here at grandmother house
We do whate'er we will
Grandmother doesn't mind at oil
Our racing up the stairs.
The boys are such nuisance-yet
She loves them, she declares.
We turn the attic upside down,
And scare the mice away:
We masquerade among the clothes,
And play tricks oil the day.
All, jolly is the life we lead
Out here upon the farm,
With not o teachers face in sight
To drive away the charm.
The days are very short indeed
At grandmcther's, it seems;
Things are SO quickly crowded In

menace to the people below, and al
last swept them to destruction. When
the construction OF such dam is pro-
posed. the first thing to be done is tc
determine the amount of water to be
controlled and the rate at which 1t will
be delivered to the reservoir under
maximum conditions Of rainfall or
snow-melting. The roper method Of
procedure is to determine, first. the
area of the drainage basin supply ing
the reservoir; second, the declivities
Of the supplying basin. The very first
thing, then, is topographic survey.
The second need is photographic
survey. The precipitation in rain ani
snow over the basin must be de
termined as an average from
year to year, and also the max
imum precipitation at the times
Of great food. This must b.
supplemented by the gauging o
streams to determine their averag,
volumes and maximum volumes. AL
, OF these factors are necessary and pre-
limiaary to the construction of a SAT-
and efficient reservoir system by max
ing mountain lakes. Before a reser
voir dam is constructed, it is of prim
Importance to determine what will b

tanned, the engineer can easily pla

however, to crawl out and save his life.

denly filled the room in which they were
at work. Carr and Case were both familiar
with their surroundings, and. although
thrown to the floor, managed to escape.
They were terribly burned, and it is feared
both inhaled the scalding steam. Boetch-
err was almost Frustrated. Instead CT
crawling out, he arose and attempted to
rush out OF the chamber OF death. The
result was that, being unfamiliar with the

When at last rescued he was nearly

and hands and having swallowed great
deal OF steam. At the hospital it was
said his chances OF recovery are slight.

FOUR WORKMEN BURNED.
Steamship Pier at New York Totally
DESTROYED.

! A fire broke out at the river end OF the
National steamship pier, No. 80 North
river, on the 18th inst. The steamship
Holland, which arrived in the morning
was docked, and gang OF men started to
clear the pier, so as to make ready for the
steamships cargo. While they were thus
working, Foreman John Dunn discovered
fire among a number OF bales OF cotton
near the end OF the pier. About twenty
five men we're at work near the spot.
Some of them remained to assist in put
ting out the flames, the Others fleeing to
the street. Those who stayed behind were
badly burned. 1t is hoped that they all
got out. At the present writing no count
has been made, and it is possible that some
OF the men were caught in the flame, and
could not escape.
All the injured were taken in ambulances
to the st. Vincent hospital. A lot OF tugs
hauled the steamship Holland out into
the stream.
At 2:30 o'clock the whole length of the
pier was burning The smoke was so dense
that scarcely anything could be seen, the
pier 10 600 feet long and the frame and
roof were built principally OF sheet iron.
1t cost $200,0 900 and was owned by the
steamship company. The compeny had
just completed improvements at cost OF
$50, 900.
Later. -Four bodies have been recovered
from the ruins. They are not identified.
The pay roll and money OF the employees
have been totally destroyed.
