NEEDLE-AND-THREAD TREE.
In Mexico Nature Supplies Women with
Sewing Material.

In Mexico Nature Supplies Women with
Sewing Material.
That there are more wonders on the
earth, in the sea, beneath the earth"
and in the sky above it than ever Hora-
ito imagined is a well known fact which
that worthys most ardent admirers will
not attempt to deny. Take, for in
stance, the famous needle-and-t thread
tree. Imagine such luxury and the
delights of going out to your tree and
plucking needle threaded all ready
for use! Odd as it may seem to us, there
is, on the Mexican plains, just such
forest growth.
The tree" may not exactly be a tree
in the true sense of the word, partaking
as it does more of the nature and char
acteristics of a gigantic species of aspar-
agns, 1t has large, thick, fieshy leaves,
such as would remind one Of the cactus,
especially of the one popularity known
as the ''prickly pear"
The needles Of the needle-and-
thread tree are set along the edges OF
these thick, feshy leaves. In order to
obtain one fully equipped for sewing it
is only necessary to push the needle
gently backward into the feshy sheath
this to loosen 1t from the tough outside
covering of the leaf, and then pull it
gently from the socket. If this opera
ton be properly carried out one hun
dred or more fine fibers adhere to the
thorn like so many spider webs By
twisting the needle" during the draw
ing operation the thread can be made
of any length desired. The action of
the air on the fbers toughens them
amazingly, thread from it not larger
than common No. 40 being capable of
sustaining weight of five pounds,
about three times the tensile strength
of common ''six-cord' spool cotton

The water Supply of India.

The British authorities in India are
advancing slowly but surely towards a
solution of the great problem of the
water supply. Only few days ago an
account was published of the opening
of the great Bombay reservoir and wa
terworks, and now the completion of a
similar enterprise at Baroda is reported.
The reservoir there is a lake with an
area of Eve square miles, containing
when full 800, 100000 cubic feet of wa
ter. The dam creating it is nearly three
miles long, was begun seven years ago,
and was finished in 1890, in time to store
the monsoon water of that year. Now
the whole supply system is finished and
properly filtered water is delivered in
abundant quantity to the entire popu-
lation. The sanitary benefits of these
engineering improvements can scarcely
be oyerestimated.

ENGLAND AS A WAR POWER.
Ben Butler Says Sho Always Hires Other
People to Do Her Fighting.

Ben Butler Says Sho Always Hires Other
People to Do Her Fighting.
Great Britain never had more than
$4,000 soldiers from her own islands be-
tween the four seas, on any battlefield,
and those were at Waterloo, while we
had in our late war more than that
number to starve or die of wounds or
sickness in single prison. Does any
one believe, asks Ben Butler in the
North American Review, that England
will ever forget that at the close of our
war we disbanded quite 1000, 900 of SOL
diers and that 10000 of them are vet
alive to take hand in any war in which
the honor of our country is assailed by
Great Britain? | have said, and per-
haps may be criticised for it, that she is
not w&rlille nation. Her government
IS continually making war on small ma
tons and hiring some one else to do the
fighting,
If thcre isanything on which England
can pride herself for prowess in war it
is her navy. But she cannot forget that
until almost within the present genera
ton that navy could only be supplied
with sailors sufficient to man it by drag
ging them from their homes by press
gangs The marquis Of Salisbury seems
to have faith in bonds in settling
difficulties between England and this
country. BE it so. England has given
this country bonds in untold millions
that she viii keep the peace ard be of
good behavior. The first gun fired in
the Bchring sea by one of her vessels
would be war as much as the first gun
fired at Fort Sumter and as the baltic
OF Gettysburg. War abrogatcs all
treaties of amity and commerce War
permits the Confiscation of all property
OF one bclligercut found on its shores
or within jurisdiction Of the other.
Every debt, demand, certificate of
stock, due from an American would be
at once forfeited and conGscatcd.
Every rood of our land owned Ivy Eng
lish syndicatcs or subjects would elost
to her. It would seem as if we could
lind the means to carry on the war by
selling her property in open market and
using the proceeds; and when we hear
the shells from her feet, if we should
do so, breaking the plato glass in Broad
way, we should be comfortably remem-
boring that great deal Of it belonged
to English people. Stopping the ex-
port of cotton for three months would
starvc Manchester and its workmen and
would be of advantage to us, as cotton
is very low in price and we could use it.

Canada's Prophet Says Mars Will

This Summer.
HeThinks the War Planet More De-

Accounts for Intense Heat and In
creased Volcanic Action OF the
Present Summer.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 8.-Dr. Wiggin,
the weather prophet and astronomer,
thinks Mars must be far more de-
sirable world to live in than our own,
because there is only small region
near the poles where any winter
exists, and it has such a dense atnos-
phere that the temperature IS not cx-
cessive even at the equator. ''As 1t is
many millions Of years older than the

babitauts must be much more intelli-
gent than we are and probably they
live for hundreds of years. [
would infer this from the fact
hat noxious vapors do not exist
In its atmosphere to cause cpl
den..cs for its volcanic agencies ceased
many millions Of years ago. As its At
traction Of the earth is now the great
est possible, our atmospheric density is
slightly increased, which accounts for
the great heat Of the present summer.

SEA SERPENTS.
Scientists Who Believe in These Marine
Monsters.

Monsters.
Prof. Agassiz was a firm believer in
the existence of sea-serpent of excep-
tional proportions, and spent neat
deal of time collecting material bear
ing on that subject, says the Philadel-
phia Press. He was especially interest
ed in anything appertaining to the sea
monster which made such stir along
the Atlantic coast in 1856. This ser
pent appeared first at Nahant, Mass,
and was followed along the coast for
miles by the excited citizens of Nahant,
Lynn and Swampscott, many Of whom
made affidavit to what they had seen.
Sir Charles Leyell, the noted geolo-
gist, thought it altogether probable that
some of the primeval monsters may
have survived until these latter days;
and, like the renowned professor above
mentioned, spent months and years col
lecting and arranging sea-serpents lore.
Prof. Busby says: 81 have with my
own eyes seen sea-serpent not less
than one hundred and eighty feet in
length flashing the waves of the bay of
Bengal. | know that / was
wide awake at the time and that the
object l saw was not kelp, marine gel
atm or any other inanimate sub
stance. I believe in sea-ser-
penis because l have been near enough
to one (the one just mentioned) to see
it's horrid teeth
