A Dog with q N1emorr.

The following, remarkable at all
events as feat of memory, was told me
by the owner OF an Irish water spaniel,
the only dog 1 ever knew who would
perform tricks and WIS good to shoot
over at the same time. His master was
out walking with him at the beginning
of the long frost in the year 1855,
which set in about the middle of Jan.
uary. He went on frozen mill dam,
Where the water was. of course very
deep, and accidentally dropped his snuff
box througha little round hole in the
ice. The dog was drcadfully distressed
at not being able to get it, but was
obliged to go home with its owner, who
thought no more about the matter. Two
months afterward, when the frost had
gone, he and the dog passed by the
same place. The dog paused opposite
the spot where the box had Disappeared,
seemed to tMnl intently for minute,
then plunged in, dived to the bottom,
and returned with the snuff box in his
mouth Quarterly Reoiew.

The tlreas Tomer 81 nabel.S

Inc chief among the many superb
temples OF Babylon was the ruins which
hayo been designated by modern arch
biologists as those OF the Tower of Babel.
Although not more than 140 feet high, il
seemed to be to the dweilers of the great
Assyrian plain. where there were no lofty
objects for comparison, to nearly touch
the heavens, aud it was said the tongues
of men were confused in attempting to
describe its wonders, Its actuat height
was considerably added to in effect by
the fact that it was built, like all other
important Babylonian edi6ces, upon a
high artificial terrace. Still further was
1t uplifted by second platform OF earth
6OO feet square. From this upper plat
form the tower rose, its first story, 272
feet square and twenty-six feet high,
faced with glazed brick painted black in
honor of Saturn. To Jupiter tho second
story was dedicated, and the color be-
longing to that god being orange, it was
of that tint-220 feet on side and
twenty-six feet high. The color of the
third story was red, in compliment to
Mars; each of its four sides was 1874 feet
and its height twenty-six. The fourth
story was 148 feet square and covered
with thick plates of gold, being dedicated
to the sun. White was the hue of the
fifth story, out of respect for Venus, and
it was liz feet square. The sixth story
was blue, Mercury's color, and each OF
its sides measured seventy feet. A cube
of fifteen feet formed the seventh story,
covered with plates of silver, in honor OF
the moon. These dimensions and colors
arc given all wrong, according to Pro-
lessor Haupt, in recently published
Babylonian novel called the s'Slaster of
the Magicians." He thinks that there
was on top OF the seventh story some
sort of cupola or observatory for astro.
nomical work, but this is not certain.
The tower at the fair will have to have
windows of the ordinary sort, though one
thing which psychologists of to-day
have not been able to ascertain at ali is how
the buildings of Babylon wcrc lighted.
Such, at oil events, was the Tower of
Babel, considered the greatest archt-
tcctural marvel of its age, stored inside
with golden statues and other treasures
of inestimable value. From this type of
structure the Egyptian pyramid was
originally developed by simply filling in
the slant between the stories, so as to
make each side smooth descent instead

Remarkable Feats of Engineering.

When the great brick quays guarding
the Euphrates in Babylon were construct
ed-themselves representing one of the
most astounding feats known to history
the Euphrates was naturally drained
off for the time being into an artificial
reservoir, $50 miles in circumference,
outside of the city, and the bed of the
stream was paved with bricks. Then the
river was turned back into it's course. the
reservoir being thereafter maintained for
purposes of irrigation. The streets run
ming parallel across the city opened
upon the Euphrates on each side by
twenty-five gates of brass which
were let fall at night like so
many portcullises, no one being lei
through them after sunset save by the
order of the governor or the king. In
the daytime ferry boats piled across be.
tween the gates at each end of the inter-
secting streets. Canals flowed through
Babylon in every direction as they do in
Venice.
Though containing 1000, 900 inhabit-
ants, Babylon was not closely built
up like London or Paris, but the houses
of the city were much scattered aud parts
of the town had a semi-suburban aspect.
Great areas of pasture land also were in.
cluded within the walls, SO that the city
could well-nigi support its inhabitants
by the produce of its own rich acres.
When Cyrus, King of Persia, laid siege
to the city in the sixth century before
Christ, Babylon was provisioned for
twenty years, and could undoubtedly
have held out for an indefinite period had
it not been for the carelessness or treach.

Hunting Bee Trees.

Woodmen do not practice batting
and lining bees, rs there are so many
kept along and under the bluffs facing
the Illinois River bottoms, but they
watch them in their flight toward the
river, and from long practice have be-
come adept in locating them. As they
walk or drive through the woods, they
scan the trunks of trees, aud their prac-
ticed eye soon discovers if there are bees
going OF returning to it, with the sky for
background. During the winter, when
there is snow and bees clean house, the
dead arc readily seen upon its white
surface; or bees take purifying flight,
when the trees arc leaaess, upon
mild, wa:m days. They also drink
the sap from fresh chips, and may be
traced homo among the bare trees.
Bees choose strange places for home
occasionally. In late number of the
British Bee Journal is an amusing nc.
count from correspondent in South
Africa of the result of such choice. A
Dutch farmer and his frau were getting
ready to go to n neighboring village to
attend sacrament. The farmer hurried
his frau, as it was getting late, and en-
tering the vehicle they drove off. Soon
the frau was slapping and screaming,
and the farmer and the driver beating

Although the President of the United
States is by the Constitution made Com
mander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy,
his control over both branches is not at all
uniform, as the Washington Star points
out. With the consent of the Senate he
might take fresh graduate from West
Point, or even private from the ranks,
and make him General of the Army. But
Congress, which makes the regulations
governing our land and sea forces, has
not conferred any such arbitrary power
Ilpon the Executive in relation to the
Navy. Consequently promotion in the
latter service runs almost inyaribly by
seniority. In time of war, however, the
President may virtually promote or dis
miss any officer, at will.

Clearing Of Forest Lands.

An inyention patented in New Zealand !,
It is claimed, will make the clearing of
forest lands, removal of old stumps, etc,
an easy matter. 1t consists in a compo-
sition with which trees can be poisoned
mingling itself with the sap, utterly de-
stroying the life and rendering the stand
ing tree in three months time dead and
rotten, and so highly ;nhammable that
when fired it burns away literally root and
branch. The process of incubation is
simply the boring of hole about sly
inches into tree with an inch auger,
filling with composition and afterward
plugging with cork, tough clay or other
-uitable substance. Brooklyn Citizen.

Babylon's Method Of Marriage.

According to the statements of the

bidders for wives. There was no reserve
in this matter. No father had any right
to dispose of his daughters hand 4 she
must be vended under tho hammer.
With the rich men of Babylon it was a
point of vanity to buy the most beautiful
girls offered at the periodical sales aud
to present to their friends any such lovely
chattels as they did not need for
themselves. The custom was to frat offer
for market the most beautiful maid.
ems, end after they were disposed OF the
plain virgins were fetched up and bon
uses offered with each to any one who
would buy them. And here came ii
what one must recognize as an admirable
point in this arrangement. All the mon
ey paid by the rich men for the Young
ladies they selected went to make dow
ries for the uuattractiye girls, which
were duly paid in spot cash to the poor
mon, who were thus made happy with

The United States Minister Resident,
writing from Copenhagen to the sccrc
tary of Agriculture, states that Danish
pork is preferred in other countries over
that raised in the United States, because
Danish swine are slaughtered earlier than
ours, hogs usually being fattcned and
killed at year old. In most European
countries hog weighing 200 pounds is
preferred to those of greater weight.
There is also general belief, adds the
New York World, that American pork is
: too fat, and that it would be more desir-
>eble for table use if it were otherwise.

naval officers in tie theory and applica-
