Some interesting information comes
from France in relation to trout raised
at the agricultural station At Champ de
Fair The peculiarly OF the expert
ment was keeping the ora in complete
darkness during the time Of incubation,
which occupied 100 days, the temperar
ture OF the water being kept at 4.s de-
grees centigrade The beneficial results
Of this prolonged incubation were found
to be more vigorous young fish, and few
or no monstrosities.
NM. Dumont, two farmers at Chassart,
Belgium, have for some time been per
forming some interesting experiments
as to the transmission OF power BY cleo
tricity in direct manner, that is to
say, without the intermediary Of ac-
cumulators. BY means Of the electric
current threshing machine was
worked in the midst Of wheat without
the aid Of an engine. There was
neither fire nor steam The sheaves
went into the thresher to come out at
one end in the form OF straw, at the
other in the shape Of. corn, where il WAS
received in sacks and was ready for the
market. The source of electricity was
a dynamo placed about one thousand
yards away.
The application OF electricity as a
means Of transmitting power in factories
is rapidly on the increase. A firm Of
Iready-made clothiers in Leeds, Eng,
are building factory in which about
eight hundred sewing machines will be
employed, as well as the necessary num-
Der of cutting machines to keep these
going. All these will be operated by
electric motors. it having been found, on
calculating the relative cost, that it will
be more economical to fit up the build
I ing in this way than to furnish 1t with
shafting and all the necessary adjuncts.
There is also considerable economy in
the initial outlay, from the fact that the
fabric does not need to be so massively
constructed. The working cost will OBJ
viously be less, as in the case OF shaft
ing it would be one mans work in q con-
Germ of this magnitude to keep the
bearings fabricated and every thing in
order-Chieago,N News.

How Lean BivaIyes Are Fnttened by Deal

The big oyster on the top Of the bar

about time to give him and the other
fellows some dinner" and he poured
over the oysters a bucketful of salt and
.'Do you call that dinner?" asked the
reporter.
ssMore after the style of a lunch,n was
the reply.@s.You- see, sir, it isn't possi-
bfe for some unknown reason, to feed
oysters in Washington as they do in the
North. Up there man will buy bar
rel of lean oysters, without any flesh at
all on their bones, as you might say,
and feed them three square meals day
=of corn mealand salt waite, poured
over them, and at the end of month
they will be as fat as butter. But oys-
tiers won't take hearty grub like that
down here, and two weeks is as long as
they can be kept aliXe and in good con-
dition on salt and water plain It's a
funny thing that If one hundred bushels
of real salt oysters are put on top of one
hundred bushels of fresh oysters for
four or five days, so that the drainage
from the salt-oysters will drip down
over the fresh ones, at the end of that
time the=ffesh=e ysters-suppos them
thin at the beginning be as plump
as possible and properly salt, while the
salt oysters remain pretty much as be-
fore. OF course, salt water must have
been thrown over the whole stack daily.
But, on the other hand, if the fresh
oysters are put on top Of the salt ones,
every thing else being as in the other
case, both the salt oysters and the fresh
oysters will lose and become thin.
When you see oysters on top of pile
opening their mouths it is because they
are thirsty, the water having drained
off them. Oysters, by the way, will
keep longer and better in dry cellar
than in wet or damp one; they want
an equable temperature neither too
high nor too low; an oyster that freezes
is dead oyster Listen to those oys-
tiers in the barrel now-you can hear
their jaws go as they eat. Washington

Iron can be coppered by dipping it
into melted copper, the surface of which

was found that the plates we're intact

American hides Going Abroad.

The low point to which the price OF
hides has been forced through the
depression which has existed of late,
seems to have tempted sellers to try
to find a new market for their mer-
chandise. During the past few weeks
about $4,000 to 100000 dry western
hides have been shipped to Europe in
order to try that market. How this
new departure will turn out is at
present entirely probematical, but if
European tanners can use our hides
to advantage it will open up q new
field and tend to give a tone OF steadl-
ness to this market that has
not been felt for long time. The re-
cent shipment Of African hides to
Europe from this market, while a
new feature in itself, was not of that
Importance to trade here as this later
shipment will be if it proves successful
in opening up a new market. African
hides are well known in Europe,
where they have a general market
price, and the fact that shipments
were made from this side simply
showed that our market was lower
than the ruling prices there. These
Western hides shipped are at present
unknown in Europe, and the parties
making the venture are doing 1T on
speculation alone. and are taking
their chances Of its coming to sue
cessful issue.-Boston Advertiser.

EX-SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER.
HIS Last Hours -The Scene Mt Aia
Death.

A special dispatch from Woodstock
on the cath inst. says: Ex-senator
Riddleberger was down town for the
last time Monday before Christmas.
He was then taken sick and TOOK TO
his bed, from which he never rose.
Early in his sickness there was evl
IDENTIFY marked failure OF the brain,
and even when not entirely uncon.
scious his speech was incoherent. he
was attended by DR.. Peter Below, his
father-in-law, and DR.. Arthur Belew,
his brother-in-law, both of Edinburg,
five miles south of here. Mr.. Riddle
berger was greatly Frustrated IN the
beginning OF his sickness, and for 8
week preceding his death was entirely
unconscious.
The falling of stick of wood in the
stove Thursday morning worried MN
for o moment, and he murmured:
"Amy, Amy" being unable from e1-
haustion to articulate Emma" the
name of his wife. His family had no
idea of the serious character OF his
illness until informed Monday that
he could not live the week out. Then
they were completely Frustrated. His
daughter Leila, young woman OF
lovely character as well as person,
hung over the form Of her dying
father, caressing him aud refusing to
leave him until death came. She was
perhaps his favorite child. He rallied
a little Wednesday night. but by
noon of Thursday began failing very
rapidly. at 8 p. IN. Thursday the
use of medicines were dispensed with.
kilograms announcing the inevitable
result were hastily dispatched to dis
tant relatives. At $50 Friday morn
ing he passed quietly away. He was
q member of the Masonic fraternity,
but by the request of che family he
will be buried by the Shena ,doah

PHILADELPHIA, January 27.--Dur-
ing the confirmation services at st.
Johns Episcopal church, corner of St.
John and Brown street, this city,
Sunday evening, the congregation
was startled by the actions Of an ap-
parently demented young man, who
arose from his seat in the church. and,
pointing a revolver at Bishop Whita-
ker, who was taking part in the servi-
ces, fred a shot at him. Immedi t ~
there was great confusion, but it was
quickly seen that no harm had
resulted from the shot. An officer
was hastily summoned and the would
be murderer taken into custody. At
the station house he gave his name as
David Alexander, and his residence
No. 1889 Parrish street, Philadelphia.
The psalter had just been conclud-
ed and the congregation were still
standing when the pastor of the
church, Rev. George A. Latimer, saw
Alexander, who was in the third pew
from the chancel, raise revolver, aipo
towards the chancel and fire and ir4Z
mediately replace the weapon in his
pocket. Three or four members of
the congregation rushed forward and
seized the young man, who offered no
resistance, gave UP his revolver, and
allowed himself to re led to the vesti
bnle. he seemed perfectly collect
ed, ssand Gin response to a question
stated that he intended the
shot for the Bishop, and meant
to kill him. The would-be murderer
was handed over to an officer, who
took him to the station house near by.
The interrupted services were resun.
ed and the large congregation dismis.
sed in good order. Bishop Whitaker
heard the noise made by the shot, but
paid but little attention to it thinking
It came from outside the church, and
he was not informed of the attempt
on his life until after the conclusion
of the services The bishop was but
little disturbed by the occurrence, and
proceeded to his residence in West
Philadelphia. A search for the bullet
failed to show where II lodged.
