Messages for Passengers.

Arrangements are being made for car
rying ont scheme proposed by Mr.. Nc
Neil, of Londonderry, for the more
efficient despatch Of telegraphic COM
municatioa between Tory Island and the
mainland, which promise to be Of great
advantage to ship owners and home
ward bound passengers. 1t is proposed
that steamers passing on either side of
Tory Island will throw overheard recep-
tacles something like small buoy, con-
tanning the messages to be sent by tele-
graph, and boats crew will be in read
mess to pick them up and convey them
to the nearest telegraph Office. By this
means it will be possible for passenger
to intimate his arrival to his friends
twenty-four hours before he could do so
now from Liverpool, and twenty hours
before he could do SO from any port on
the Clyde. The matter has been taken
up by Lloyd's committee, who under
take to forward passengers kilograms at
minimum of is. each and ship owners
advices at minimum of Cd. each. It
expected that the arrangement will soon
be carried ut.-Industries.

A Strange Potato Growth.

The West Chester, Pa. Local News
reports that Truman Forsythe, of that
village, a few days ago found in his cell
lar a potato of last years crop that had
two small ones growing inside Of it.
There were no sprouts whatever on the
outside, but the potato was burst open
at each end, and there projecting were
the ends of two well formed and healthy
looking young tubers. The larger one was
about the size of a walnut. Potatoes
often form on the outside of old ones in
cellars this time of the year, but that the
growth should take place inside is some
thing ola novelty and only one or two
persons to whom the "curio" was shown
could recall having seen the like before

Bullet Proof Armor.

In the early part of May some plate
firing took place on board the English
man-of-war Nettle, which brings up a
subject of the greatest Importance
namely, the possibility of making armor
such as will break up the splendid forged
steel projectiles which have hitherto
held together almost without exception
The result of the Nettle and other recent
tests goes to show that plates are now
made with faces so hard as to defeat
forged steel, and that it appears possible
that steel faced armor in the future may
dispose of them in the manner that
Schneider admits such plates defeat in
different projectiles.-New York Tele-

Recovering a Diamond Ring.

Tuesday a gentleman, stranger in
these parts. had occasion to cross the
Huntington bridge, and was accompan-
led by friend. When midway Of the
bridge he pulled large and valuable
diamond ring from the little finger of his
left hand to exhibit to his friend. In
handing the ring over it slipped from his
hand and fell, and striking the floor
bounded into the river. The friend stood
where the ring fell till its owner went
and secured the services of several men
to dive in after it. He found two who
upon the offer of handsome pay for their
services consented to attempt the rescue.
They went out in boat and after many
attempts secured the ring, which was in
turn handed over to its owner. He paid
the promised sum and went on his way
