papers and melon growers-this is the
manufacture of syrup from the melon.
Col. Duncan insists that the melon
can be more easily and more gener-
ally raised than the sugar cane, and
as it grows above ground it is more
conveniently cultivated than the SUI
gar beet. He has experimental in
the manufacture of syrup from
melons, and finds it excellent, more
like preserves than the cane syrup, he
says, and likely to become popular
with every one who tries it. He has
made the syrup and sold it, and found
no difficulty in getting a good price
for it.

W ork of Electricity.

There are now in use in the United
States more than $3.50 central cleo
trio stations for light and power.
There are 2l0,OOOarc lights and $780,
600 incandescent lamps. There were
fifty-nine electrical railways in opera
ton in March last, and eighty-six
roads in process of construction. The
increase of capital in electrical invest
ments during 1888 was nearly 70,OOO,-
600. These are very significant fig
ures, and they point Enthusiastically to
the course of future inventions and
discoveries.

Height of Great Sea Waves.

Carefully repeated experiments
made by an experienced English nav
igator at Santander, on the north
coast of Spain, showed the crest of
the sea waves in prolonged and
heavy gale of wind to be AZ feet high;
and allowing the same for the depth
between the waves, would make a
height of 81 feet from crest to base.
The length from crest to crest was
found to be 1856 feet. Other estimates
of the waves in the South Atlantic
during great storms give height of
so feet for the crests and 400 feet for
length. In the North Sea the height
of crest seldom exceeds 10 feet and
the length $50 feet.

TWO EAGLE STORIES.
a Duel Between Two Powerful Birds-A
Gray Cats Bravery.

a Duel Between Two Powerful Bird5-A
Gray Cats Bravery.
A correspondent at Stratherick sends
an eagle story which Rod and Gun
gives in his own words: "Mr Alex
apder Shaw, farmer, Oldtown, Strath-
erick, was going his usual rounds TO
look after his sheep. While going
past a clump of birch y God among very
long heather he fancied he heard q
peculiar Autter among the bushes. lie
took little notice, but, the noise being
repeated, he went to see what was ado.
He found two golden eagles fighting,
firmly fixed in each other with beak
and talons. On his approaching one
of the birds noticed the intrusion, and
let go his hold. The other beld his
opponent fast in his talons. Mr. Shaw
then got up quite close and got hold of
one of them. He put his foot on the
other ones neck. He searched
his pockets and found a little bit of
string, just enough to tie one of the
eagles. While he was tying the one
he kept he let the other one off. The
bird was not able to take flight for a
considerable time after being set at
liberty, being much done out with the
fight The other one, which Mr.. Shaw
took home, does not seem to be any
the worse. What seems most strange
is that eagles are seldom or never
seen so low down the country. My
belief is that they must have been
fighting for a long time in the skies,
the one having been pursuing the
other till they fixed in each and
dropped. "
Another story of the same class is
from Null: Zone day recently MIR.
McMorran, farmer, Kinlochspelve, OBJ
served a large golden eagle soaring at
a considerable height above the farm
stealing, which is situated at the foot
of Craig Ben. After whirling round
for some time it swooped down toward
a patch of rough heather short dis
lance behind the farmhouse, where
Mr. McMorran observed large gray
cat, which began to defend itselt
bravely. By jumping nimbly aside, il
eluded the claws of the eagle. Witt

attempts to carry him off. Eventual.

The Law Must Be Respected.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
They were sitting at the supper
table last night when the husband
said: "The census clerk was in to-

LONDON FASHIONS.
Paris Said TO BE Yielding the Palm to
Her Anglican Rival.


n Paris dresses are growing moro
and more simple OF outline, the folds
being nodded upon the lines OF the
figure, without excrescence or unnat-
ural protuberance.
Competent judges all agree that the
London fashion bear away the palm
this spring from those of Paris. This
is an indirect flattery of our clever En-
glish milliners, who are so skillfully
adapt to English taste the ideas they
import from Paris, and add to them
subtle touches of their own which In
crease the effect.
The new tennis suits are exactly like
a mans, with starched front, high col
lar and masculine tie. They are to
be worn under the tennis jackets which
achieved such popularity during the
last two seasons. Ladies' Blazers"
they are called in some of the shops,
and they are to summer what the "la-
dies smoking jackets" are to winter.
The craze for the masculine in gar
ments appears to be increasing, but
the manly shortcut couture has disap-
peared from polite circles.
The sailor hat promises to be as
popular as ever. 1t could not be more
so than it has been during the last few
seasons, and it has much to recon-
mend it.
Wooden materials remain in favor
for dresses, though silk is to be more
worn than it was last year There is
often velvet underskirt to the wool

this so as to be visible in little
glimpses. A scarlet velvet shirt is

It was in Judge Gaslin's court
some years ago. There were three
important cases-One of a murder,
one of an embezzler and one of a
harmless looking youth accused of
stealing a pony. The evidence in
the case of murder was explicit.
There was no doubt of his guilt, but
the jury, after being out for a few
minuets, reported that there was no
cause for action. The judge looked
astOnished and digusted, but dis
missed the prisoner as in duty bound.
The next was that of the embezzler.
The evidence was equally clear IN
this, but another verdict of not guilty
was brought in. The judges disgust
deepened as he pOlled the jury and
dismissed the defendant. When the
boys case came it was shown quite
clearly that the prosecution was ma
lici0us and that there was no cause
for action, but the jury, almost with
out leaving the box, declared HIM
guilty. This capped the climax, and
the indignation Of the judge rose to
fever heat. Turning to the jury he
