Life PreserNer for Miners.

An English invention consists Of an
apparatus for ascertaining the contig-
uity of water or gas workings ia
mines, and for passing food to impris.
oned miners and for rescuing them.
The apparatus for ascertaining the
state of a mine as regards approaching
danger consists of a chamber fitted
with a slide valve, which can be- open.
ed and closed at pleasure. Through a
stufiing box in the chamber on the
working side passes "a boring tool, with
which the miner drills n hole in the
coal Ia the distance inwards to which
lac intends To work. Assuming this
to be, say, eight feet, when he has
reached that distance he withdraws
the boring tool. and If neither gas nor
water has made lis appearance, he
knows that he a safely 20 in so far.

kuockea Out Their papa.

John b. Jelfery had an experience
with his two bright little boys that is
one more illustration Of how juvenile
cuteness will often disarm anger. One
evening when the bedtime for the lit
tie folks had arrived they seemed to be
in a state of great hilarity. Mrs. jeff
cry minated 10 them that il was time
foe them To g., but in their high glee
the boys did not obey with their usual
alacrity. NJ. Jeffery then spoke TO
them, ana a Glance at papa" told them
he meant b Isiness, SO they started off,
with i'll concealed reluctance. Once
ous of 81 At of their parents, a new
idea seizeu the boys, and instead of 20
ing directly to bed they went up into
a room At the top Of the house fitted
up As "a gymnasium.
Here the two urchins put on boxing
gloves and began sparring like two
little Sullivans. They were none too
quiet, ana the noise they made was
heard down in the sitting room, Mr..
Jeffrey donned his everest frown aud
marched up stairs. Opening the door
of his gymnasium lac saw his boys go
ing foreach other like Trojans. They
saw him at the same moment. and both
at the same time dropped down ON
their knees, threw up their hands. still
burdened with the boxing gloves, as
though they were at prayer, and said
in mock earncstness: Now | lay me
down to sleep" The act knocked Mr..
Jeffrey out completely, and he could
not utter a cross word. He shook his
finger at them in playful sternness and
ordered them to bed. This time the
little fellows went, bit they knew they
had taken the wind out of papa's sails.

Too MANY porpoises.

The French fishermen are troubled
by the Expectations Of porpoises. for
which they have not succeeded in find
ing a remedy. An attempt was made
10 catch them in seine nets. but they
jumped out of the snares. They were
scared away by guns and ~torpedoes,
but the fish were frightened and disap-
peared with them. They are too nu-
mcrous to be shot one by one in an eff
fectiye manner. The only thing TO be
done seems to be for the fishermen 10
unite and drive them away in crowds;
but this will have to be often repeated.
