Sailed OF In a wooden shoe;
Sailed on q river of misty light
Into sea of dew
Where are you going and what do you with
The old moon asked the three.
I'VE have come TO fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have We"
Said Wynken.
Blynken,

The old moon laughed and sung q song.
As they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves Of dew:
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea;
NOW cast your nets wherever you wish
But never afear~i are we;'
So cried the stars to the fishermen threa
Wynken,
Blynken,

All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinkling foam;
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all SO pretty sail it seemed
As If it could not be;
And some folk thought twas q dream the,

OF sailing that beautiful sea;
But shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
And Nod is little head.
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
is wee ones trundle bed;

OF wonderful sights that be-
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three

In California the saw has largely
supplanted the axe in bringing down
redwoods, but the change is severe
upon the woodsmen. After being
sawed partly through, a tree is forced
over by inserting number of steel
wedges in the kerf, which are driven
in with steel sledges They are set in
as close together as possible. and the
driving of the wedges frequently re-
quires three hours or more. The con-
slant contact of the steel sledges with
the steel wedges results in chipping
off fragments which fly with great
force, and in numerous instances be-
come imbedded in the flesh of the
workmen, requiring surgical opera
tons to remove them Many eyes
have been lost in this way. while arm
and shoulder wounds are frequent
Some means of protection against the
sharp missile is needed Northwestern

To Bridge the English Channel

Some years ago plans for tunnel
under the British channel were put
before the public and the vast project
would doubtless have been executed
but for the caution of the govern
ment authorities, who feared the dan
gers of an invasion through such a
roadway. Now comes a project. which
seems to be well reckoned, for bridge
about % miles long from Cape Grisnez
to Folkestone. The estimated cost for
bridge 100 feet wide. with four lines
of rail and carriage way. is $72, 900
600. Even if the cost should be sew
eral times this amount, it is likely the
traffic would Justify the expenditure.

An Interesting Clock.

A clock recently patented in France
is an imitation of a tambourine, on
the parchment head of which is
painted a circle of flowers correspond
ing to the hour figures of ordinary
dials. On examination two bees, one
large and the other small, are discov-
cred crawling among the flowers. The
small bee runs rapidly from one
flower to another. completing the cir
cult in an hour, while the large one
takes twelve hours to complete the
circuit. The parchment surface is un-
broken, and the bees simply laid on
it, but two magnets connected with
the clock work inside the tambourine
move just under the membrane, and
the insects, which are of iron, follow
them.-Frank Leslie's Newspaper.
