Spectator Sept. 9th.

Mrs Besant. as we have recorded elsewhere,
has passed from the materialism of Charles
Bradlaugh to the theosophy of Madame Bla-
vatskv. and now believes in the power OF the
Mahatmas to "precipitate" letters from the
recesses of the Himalayas to London without
the use of any such intermediate agency as the
post. The substance on which these theoso-
pbical letters are written is thus described In
q letter from Mrs. Isabel "copper" Oakley, Eel
low of the Theosophical Society" to the Daily
Chronicle of Thursday last ;-"Permit me to
answer one query in your leader of to-day.
refer to the following lines We would
only inquire whether letters purportlng to
come from Tibet are written on paper manu-
featured in England or Madras Whether
the Mahatma who writes them uses the lmpe-
rial post or no ? The paper is not OF European
manufacture, nor of such sort as is usually seen
in Europe or India it is, 8ui generls, more
like a leaf in texture. The Mahatmas do not
ALWAYS use the imperial post l have seen
the letters since Madame Blavatsky's death.
They are the fac-similes Of those received by
her, in hand %criting, sign0tar and seal"
It is not easy to say whether the passage from
Mr.. BradIaugh's materialism to the theosophy
Of the Mahatmas, is to be regarded as progress
sive or retrogressive. 1t is progressive so far
as it c~onfesses the dreary steriity OF materla-
lism, but it may possibly be retrogr88slve II
the ostentatious spiritualism of the Mahatmas
is o spiritualism of mere intellectual caste.
We deeply regret to notice that Miss Eleanor
A. Ormerod has been compelled to resign her
office as consulting entomologist to the Royal
Agricultural Society. According to a state
ment in the Times, confirmed in great part by
a letter from Miss Ormerod herself, she has
been rather shabbily treated. She was appoint
ed some years since, being by universal consent
the first authority on the insects which destroy
crops, and since then has been of invaluable aid
to the Society. Recently, however its mana
gers permitted the newly established Board OF
Agriculture to republish her reports on the va
rious insect pests as leaflets, without either
remuneration or acknowledgement and when
Miss Ormerod complained, they argued that, as
an officer of the Society, her work belonged to
them. This claim, under threat of legal pro
ceedings, was withdrawn but Miss Ormerod
thought it better to resign. 1t is hardly posi-
bic to think of work more directly beneficial to
the human race than Miss Ormerod's and 1t is
not o little curious that her special position in
regard to agriculture should be occupied by a
woman.

According. to a telegram through Dalziel's
agency from Vancouver, the Canadian Pacific
steamer Japan, which arrived there from
Hong-Kong and Yokohama on August 80, has
reported a terrific typhoon at Kobe on the 10th
inst. All the steamers in the harbour dragged
their anchors, and many native boats were
cast ashore and their crews were drowned.
A German steamship was driven ashore and
eight of the crew were drowned, and an Indian
barque Singlas was wrecked, and all on board
were lost. Her Maiesty's gunboat TQeed sank.
Altogether among natives and foreigners 1t is
believed that $50 lives were lost. The vim
did much damage inshore. In one coast town
forty-fve persons were killed by falling
houses.-Ibid.
With reference to a recent note, we learn
from New South Wales that the Minister
for Mines and Agriculture (the Hon. Sydney
Smith has appointed Mr.. Mel Harper,
formerly q dairy farmer of excellent repute
in the South Coast District, to take charge
of the travelling dairy, which is to be sent
to the different districts of the colony under
the control of the Department of Agricul-
ture. It will be necessary for the Agricul-
tural society, or q local Committee, to pro-
vide the requirements of the dairy such as
a building suitable for its operations, and
giving accommodation SuInclenG TOT Uou puplIs'
who will be thoroughly instructed in all
dairy operations. Also for the carriage Of
the plant to and from the nearest railway
station or wharf to the scene of operations,
together with the necessary labOur to assist
in the rough work of cleaning up sc. The
Society, or Committee, will need to provide
also Insufficient supply of milk, say about
fifty gallons daily, for the operations of the
dairy, and plenty Of clean water for washing
butter and cleaning up. Each Society or
Committee, undertaking to furnish these
requirements will be entitled to nominate
at least ten pupils (either male or female)
for the full course of instruction III dairy
operations, who will afterwards be examin-
cd with a view to receiving a dairy certlh-
cate in the event of their showing a salts
factory knowledge of the course OF instruc-
ton. Of course the general public will be
admitted to see all the operations of the
dairy, which will work for ten days at each
place where set up. All district Societies
and Committees desiring to have the bene-
fit of this course of instruction for their To-
caIities should make early application to
the Director of Horticulture, from whom re-
gulations and instructions can be obtained
Is our Minister of Agriculture doing any

Went IN Bathing on Boston Common

Went IN Bathing on Boston Common
Boston. Oct. 8. - The %unwonted
spectacle OF a full grown man taking a
bath In the frog pond on the common to-
day created a lively sensation. and scores
of women received shocks which sent
them scurryiDg away with burning cheeks.
The cause of this rumpus was Glarono
Lurraro, who had Just landed from an
immigrant steamer. He was dirty and
needed a bath. lie did not know any
thing about the customs of this country,
so when he espIed the water on the com
and trousers and jumped in. He had
the deccncy to keep his underclothing on.
He evidently enjoyed the swim and vas
uumIndful of the fact that his antics
had drawn a crowd that numbered sew
eral hundred. Some boys in the crowd
tried to steal tho swimmers pants. but in
this they were unsuccessful Girls and wo-
men who had approached to see what was
the matter rushed off blushing to find
q police officer, but the minutes passed
and no blue coat put in an appearance.
FINALLY Lurrao decided 10 come ont, and
when he stood dripping on the shore in
his uodergarments the crowd wondered
what would happen next he did not
keep them long in SUSPENSE. Taking out
his bag of clothes. he took out a clean
undershirt and a pair of drawers and pro-
ceeded to substitute them for his wet
garments. While he was making the
change a police officer came along and
took the bather into custody. When
locked up at the station he said he meant
no harm and said he did only what he
thought was proper.

Secret Of Good Mountain Climbing

The secret of the climbing of tho
hunters in the Spanish Pyrenccs ia
that they trust their feet as much as
their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place.
They go steadily but slowly, and rest
often, so as to avoid climbing when
exhausted or breatLless. A tired or
winded man will tumble, slip, and be
in danger where he would pass easily
when fresh. The apprentice i'll this
particular hunt found the greatest
difficulty in passing a chaos. A chaos
is steep slope covered with blocks Of
stone ranging from a hundred pounds
TO many tons. There are ugly holes,
big and little, between them. Their
edges are generally Sharp; to the rapid
passer, as lie looks down at his fec,
they appear, without exception, very
sharp. In addition, some of them are
"wobblcrs." The duifer passed sew
eral unpleasant quarters of an hour in
following the hunter, excited by the
proximity of game, over these places,
and will always carry on his leg Il
souvenir of one of them. - [Scribncr.

A Big Spider.

In the jungles of Sumatra is found
an enormous spider, which measures
three inches across the body and sew
Ell across the legs. 1t is black in col
or, with red and yellow markings. 1t
spins geometrical web about four
feet in diameter between two trees,
which web is strong enough to knock
off pith hat. In one case the web
was extended between trees at least
twenty feet apart by system of guys
and stays, of which not one was un-
necessary or out of place; and be-
sides, was stretched in a vertical di-
rection by two good sized pieces of
wood-ax chips, in fact-slung to its
lower margin. Some of the Sumatran
spiders are of such extraordinary and
unspiderlike shape that only drawings
could give an idea of them. One spe-
cies, about the size of the garden spi-
der, has hard, shelly body, with a
pear shaped projection on each side,
which as well as the body, is covered
with spikes [Picayune.

TOughening Glassware.

A simple method of toughening any
glassware is to immerse it in a gallon
pot of cold water in which a half-cup
of salt has been dissolved. Let the
water boil thoroughly, then lift the
kettle off the fire and allow it to be-
come perfectly cold before you re-
move the glass. When the water is
perfectly cold take out tho glassware,
wash it and wipe it dry. Glass treated
in this way is protected against
changes of temperature and sudden
drafts, which, striking against a super
heated lamp chimney, are liable to
crack it.-[New York Tribune.
