Useless Rigging.

Two of the strongest advocates of re.
tanning sail power on vessels of the new
navy as auxiliary to steam have been
Admiral Walker and Chief Constructor
Wilson. Both have materially altered
their views since observing the experience
of the Chicago while on the squadron of
evolution. Admiral Walker found that
her sails were of no use whatever, except
to steady her in a heavy wind, and for
this purpose fore and aft rig would be
sufficient. The Admiral is of the opinion
that sail power on twin-screw vessels is
simply useless encumbrance, as the sails
are practically never used, and the rig
ging only furnishes additional resistance
to air, and is so much additional dead
weight to be carried. The only twin
screw vessels of the new navy with square
rigging are the Chicago and the New
ark, and it will probably not be long be-
fore all their rigging comes down except
the low masts, with the military tops,
and simple fore and aft rig Picayune.

A UNIQUE WELCOME.

While General Grant was President he
visited Maine, accompanied by several
members of his Cabinet, to formally open
the then American and European Rail-
road, running from Bangor to the New
Brunswick line.
Bangor has never been honored by the
presence Of "first citizen" before, and
the city was dressed in gala garb to re-
ceive him. 1t so happens that the most
imposing structure in the city is the Jail,
and it has extensive grounds and shade
trees around it.
When the procession from the railroad
station had reached the grounds the
Generals attention was called to the
crowniug feature of the decorations. A
large floral arch had been constructed at
the entrance bearing the inscription:
"Welcome."
"Ah," said the General, much pleased,
"what public building is thata"
"The JAIL" replied member of the
committee, and then for the first time
the blunder of it dawned upon them

Strange Things From the Clouds.

A phenomenon which probably has no
parallel on record was observed in Buff
falo, N. Y, the other day. At 10:30
A. NJ. Park Policeman Edward Fitz-
Gibbon was standing near the Front
House when, as he at first supposed,
heavy drops of ram began falling. He
noticed that they fell with unusual force
upon his hat and clothes, and upon ex-
animation he discovered that instead of
rain shower of small shot was falling
from the clouds. Joseph c. Green, an
other park policeman, noticed the strange
phenomenon, and these men, together
with Mrs. Buchanan, her sister and
others, were all witnesses of the leaden
shower. The shower lasted for over an
hour, and the people in the neighbor-
hood caught the shot in hats and aprons.
Reporters visited the place next day and
gathered quantity of the leaden rain.
During thunderstorm the same eve-
ming live turtles, some of them rs large
as mans hand fell on the farm of Adam
Walker, in Coal Creek township, Ind.
No trees were near and they must have
dropped from the clouds. - Chicago

Growing Lettuce by Electric Light.

It is now believed that where it is
profitable to grow lettuce under glass for
market, the electric light can be profit
ably used. VIM. Rawson, of Arlington,
Mass, has experimental for one season
and feels encouraged to 60 ON with it.
The Worcester Co. Ofass.) horticultural
Society has published an account of what
Mr.. Rawson did. One house for forcing
lettuce, 200 feet by twenty-four, was
given in charge of one arc light, active
till midnight, at cost of SIS per month.
The crop was advanced in time twenty
per cent One weeks advance in five,
is q great gain to the market man.
When the electric light was brought to
some perfection, much was hoped for it
as an aid in the artificial culture of
plants. DR.. Sieman's experiments indi-
Gated some good results, but no attempts
have been made to apply the principle to
profitable uses. 1t seems to be conceded
that plants can proceed with those
changes necessary to healthy plant
growth to great degree under electric
light, though not nearly to the extent
they can under sunlight; but the open
question is, will they do this to an extent
TO make its use profitable to the cult

How Birds Learn to Sing.

A wren built her nest in a box on a
New Jersey farm. The occupants of the
farmhouse saw the mother teaching her
young to sing. She sat in front of them
and sung her whole song very distinctly.
One of her young attempted TO initiate
her. After proceeding through few
notes It's voice broke and it lost the tune.
The mother recommended where the
young one had failed, and went very
distinctly through with the remainder.
The young bird made a second attempt,
commencing where it had ceased before,
and continuing the song as long as 1t
was able, and when the notes were again
lost, the mother began again where it
had stopped and completed it. Then
the young one resumed the tune and fin
ishcd it. This done, the mother sang
over the whole series of notes the second
time with great precision, and again a
yaung one attempted to follow her. The
wren pursued the same course with this
one as with the first, and SO with the
third and saurth, until each of the birds
became a perfect songster. Musical Mes-
senleT.
