was cumbrous and often unreliable
process, which occupied q considerable
time, and could only be performed when
the vessel was brought 10 or going at a
very moderate speed. With Sir William
rhomson's improved sounding machine
the depth can be accurately found with
little trouble and without altering the
speed of the vessel A line of soundings
san be taken with great ease and the
ships place be made known by compari-
son with the chart long before she comes
near to any dangerous position. For
steamships going at a great speed. and
especially when nearing land, the use Of
this machine is absolutely indispensable

In the Spare Chamber.

l was put to sleep in the spare room.
Or guest chamber, of country par
sOnage, where the local minister's
thrifty spouse had stored her bee
hives for the winter, choosing it,
doubtless, as a room where the tenn
perature was sure to be equally
chilly, and where nothing would dis.
turb them. They stood behind a
pretentious screen that cut off one
corner of the room, and they were
forgotten by all the family when l
was put in there to sleep Provision
had been made for warming the room,
on those rare occasions when such Il
thing was done at all, by one ofthose
things called dumb stove" be-
cause it has no opening in it, suppose,
known also as a drum" through
which the heat from the parlor stove
below passed on its way to the Chin
ney. The parlor stove had been lit to
greet the visitor, and the result was
that the bees thought spring time
had come, and was awakened from
my sleep by Il buzzing sound.
"Gracious, said to myself, "have

presently a big fellow lit on my hand.

reply. "Bees!' l shouted as loud as
l could. "Help! Help" Then div

self as we'll as could and awaited

he burst in the door, thinking that
some one was strangling me. He

bees began to gather around the
light. Not thinking of what he was
doing he brushed them away, and
was fastantly stung in about ten
places at once With a yell he drop
ped the cand lie and rushed into his
wife's room shouting: The bees!
the bees are out and are killing
Brother M. l told you not to
put them there, and now see what's

Fe had left my door open, and the
bees followed him into the hall, where
his wife had already lighted lamp.
l tell you3 there was IL lively time in
that house for an hour or so, while |
lay hiding among the blankets and
enjoyed it immensely. The only way
out of the difficulty was to open ev-
cry window and door in the house,
and the cold rush OF air quoted the
bees, which were then easily gathered
up by the family. When, with many
apologies, they came to see how

The recent increase Of insanity shown
by most countries is attributed by an
eminent French physician, DR.. GARNER,
TO excessive brainwork and alcoholism.
Cases from other causes have not become
more numerous Very curiously, the
increase is greater among females than
males. the number Of male maniacs from
alcoholic causes having doubled in fifteen
years, while that OF the female insane
from the same cause has much more than
doubled in the time.
