ly still, scarcely even breathing. Be care
full to assume natural and easy position,
for before you have been still minute your
nose will begin to itch, or your ear tickle,
or your leg to be cramped. You will want
to move in the worst wav, simply because
YOU have to keep still. Before very long
YOU will hear a chatter" "chatter," fol-
lowed by hoarse bark, and soon the Gu
riosity OF the little beast will cause him to
peep around the trunk to find out what you
are doing. Watch him, and soon he will
come right out, either to go along the bough
to Jump to another tree, or to climb higher
mp the tree he is in.
WAITING FOR THE SQUIRREL.
If after waiting, he appears inclined to
sulk, and will not come out, it is good
plan to fire at random into the tree with one
barrel, and when he jumps, as he is pretty
certain to do, catch him on the move with
the contents of the other barrel. If there
are two hunters, one should stand still and
let his mate 90 slowly round the tree. This
will give the one on guard shot. In shoot
ing in a patch of woods, glance at the
foot of an oak, or hickory nut tree will
show on what they are working" /. e.
feeding, as there will be number of shells
and half chewed nuts at the foot, and where
ever the workings" are, in those trees will
be found the most squirrels.
The peculiar drum or bark of squirrel
is very difficult to locate unless one is in
good practice, for it seems to come from all
directions. 1t will help locate the sound to
stop the left ear with the finger. The two
great principles Of success in squirrel shoot
ing are first, singleness and quiekness of
movement. Do not move even a finger
until intending to fire, and then with one
motion, pull up the gun and shoot If not
q good shot, take an unloaded gun and prac-
tice getting the hang of it; walk around,
suddenly fix your eyes upon an object, pull
the gun up quickly, with both eyes open.
and it will be found that the muzzle will
fairly cover the object.
Small as these animals are, it must be re-
membered that they have to be hard hit to
kill them, and that light charge is of no
earthly use. In a twelve-bore gun, at least

New treatment Of Coal.

An invention which is likely to be Of con-
siderable Importance, from sanitary point
of view. has been tested in England with
satisfactory results. 1t consists in the ap-
plication of preparation to coal, by which
the constituents are said to be concentrated
and hardened. In practice the coal is
steeped in the solution, and the fuel can be
used either wet or dry. Two large fires
were shown at the demo astration, one being
made with coal in its normal condition ano
the other with the treated coal. The differ
ence was manifest, the chemicalized coal
giving off very trihing amount OF smoke.
while good blazing fire was maintained.
The treatment OF the coal is said to cost IL
cents per ton, every expense included. 1t
is proposed that the coal shall be treated in
coal merchants yards, ready for delivery to
the consumers.

Copper and Nickel Deposits.

Among the papers read before the Ameri-
can Institute of Mining Engineers at Ottawa
was one by DR.. E. D. Peters, Jr., on the
mines Of the Canadian Copper Company at
Sudbury. These ore deposits possess a
peculiar interest for variety Of reasons:
In the first place they are deep within the
borders OF the Huronian rocks, and are con-
sequently among the oldest deposits known,
unless, indeed. the ores were deposited at a
much later period than the country rock.
Again, they carry nickel in unusual pro-
portions, and lastly, they are unique in con-
tanning small amount OF platinum, although
arsenic is not present. The rocks of this
system are tilted TO about 700, so that the
whole country may be said to be standing
on end. A general feature is that the ore
bodies are In close proximity to extensive
dikes or tilted beds OF diorite. The ore
usually occurs at the point of contact be-
tween the diorite and graywicke. The matter
from these mines contains an average Of q
per cent copper and 10 to IS per cent nickel.
It is shipped to Swansea to be refined. The

Elastic Tile.

A useful building invention is the elastic
tile of Sir E. J. Hartland, Of Belfast, which
is made BY mixing mixture Of India rub
Der, or India rubber compound, sulphur and
pigment. to heat in mold, in the ordinary
way OF making vulcanized India rubber, or
the mixture can be vulcanized in sheets,
and the sheets cut into tiles.
These can then be affixed to the floor or
other surface to be covered in various ways,
but the inventor prefers cement composed
Of two parts of gutta percha, one part OF
resin and one part of Stockholm tar. Being
soft and elastic, these tiles afford very firm
and comfortable foothold. and they are par
ticularly useful on board ships, and being
impervious 10 wet are always clean.

Native Zinc.

In the laboratory of the State Mining
Bureau of San Francisco an extremely il
teresting discovery was recently made. In
working a specimen of sulphide or blonde
ore sent from a mine in Shasta county, CAL,
a small piece of native metallic zinc was
secured. This is the first piece Of the char
acter named ever known to have been Sc
cured in this country. Late works on me-
tallurgy note the existence in the mines of
Victoria, Australia, of the only metallic
zinc known. The Mining Bureau proposes,
ii possible, to secure other specimens from
Shasta county.

Fireproof Wood.

The recent discovery by New England
chemist of a cheap method of dissolvlng zinc
BY combining it with hydrogen is regarded
as most valuable one. The product is a
solution called zinc water, and has the prop.
erty of making wood to which it has been
applied absolutely freproof, and at a very
low cost. This discovery is likely to revolu-
tionize fire insurance, as well as to i'm
mensely decrease the loss by fire.

saecharin Inimical 20 Beer.

It is somewhat singular that beet, which,
during the last few years, has virtually de-
stroyed the sugar cane industry in the West
Indies, should now in its turn be threatened
with destruction by the chemical product
saccharin. In Germany, it is stated, so
much saccharin has already been made as to
render 5000 tons of beet sugar superfuous.
II is principally employed in the prepara-
tion of fruits and the production OF sweet
liquors. 1t has, however, been condemned
by eminent medical authorities as directly
prejudicial to health, and France, Italy and
Portugal are already contemplating impos-
ing tax upon it.

A Yiaorous Present.

In this age when so much interest is taken
in athletics, dress re orm and physical cul-
ture, it is not amiss to suggest what stimu-
lants should be used. Pure air and plenty
OF exercise will achieve good results, but
only the periection of health can be attained
by the use of the best stimulants. Queen
Victoria is living example of this, having
been presented with barrel of Prince Re-
gent whisky 30 years ago. This brand can
be obtained only at the old reliable Half
Century Liquor House, 523 Liberty ST., at
the foot of Fifth avenue.

During the discussion before the British
Association on heredity, Mr.. E. R. Poul-
ton, E. R. S., defined what he meant by the
term acquired character" as that which
was produced by the incidence of external
forces upon the individual body, as opposed
to the mere development of inherited ten
denotes in the individual. MIR. Poulton
then proceeded to deal with the evidence
which had been put forward in support OF
the hereditary transmission of acquired
character. Such proof would be afforded
by the transmission of mutilations or any
other characters undoubtedly impressed on
the individual by external influences.
Among the direct proofs, however, many
supposed cases of transmitted mutilations
had been refuted by Prof. Weisman, who
had shown that this evidence must always
be received with the gravest suspicion. He
could not explain variation without the
transmission OF the effect of environment on
the ancestors. But the effect of environ
ment on the germ-cells through the parental
cells, would not imply such transmission.
unless the offspring showed the same
effects as those wrought on the
parents, and this had never been
proved. The facts known about identical
twins were quoted by Gallon and Weisman
as showing that the peculiarities of the indi-
vidual were almost exclusively predeter-
r,air had

Now, as to cooking a squirrel. Old hun
ters unhesitatingly declare them to be fine
eating, but the average dweller in cities
who has been favored with "mess O.
squir'ls" will declare them tough and good
for nothing. So they are If not properly
cooked. The squirrel should be skinned,
cleaned, and well washed, and then placed
in a steamer for at least an hour, and ter
ward roasted or broiled in the ordinary way,
when it will be found delicious. Ii, how
ever the hunter would like to try true
squirrel-hunter's cooking. let him take his
squirrel as soon as shot and bleed him by
opening the throat. When ready for cook
ing, let a large fire of small twigs be built,
so as to get lot of ashes. SINCE all the
hair of the body, open it. wash and clean it,
then sew it or skewer up the stomach with
thorns, and roll il in a big ball of earth
paste, nade of clay and water. Put this in
the middle of the fire and rake the hot
ashes over it. In an hours time, rake it
out, open it carefully, when the skin will
peel of and the flesh will be feast that is a
revelation.

THE ARCH-CoNsPIRAToR.

Mr.. Sullivan has turbulent and event
full history. Like other antique heroes.
there is dispute about his birthplace. He
has ALWAYS claimed to have been born at the
city of Waterville, Me-, but couple of
gentlemen friends of his own, and who
know him intimately, assured me beyond
question that he was born at Amherstburg,
Ontario. His father was a British soldier,
who arrived in Canada in the '40's. When
very young Alec came to Detroit, and OBJ
tsined position in small shoe store, and
aiterward became clerk in retail estab-
iishm.nt of tie same line. 1t was not great
while before be had business of his own.
His stock was burned, and the insurance
company suspected it was the work of an
incendiarv, and he was charged with arson.
An investigation followed, but failed to
fasten any guilt upon him. An alibi was
proven by his fancee. now his wife, and
then Miss Buchanan, OF that city. After
the fire he moved to New Mexico, and took
a position on paper at Santa Fe. His in
dustfy and marked ability brought him to
the front, and in the latter part of 1867 he
was appointed postmaster of this ancient
and historic city.
In 1868 he returned to Michigan and took
the stump for General Grant, who was run
