Why They Dock Nose In.

Some persons have thought it curious
that the big Transatlantic liners should
always moor to their piers with bow in
shore. To the uninitiated itappears more
natural for them to back into their slips
and moor with their stern inshore, and,
as a matter of fact, nearly all of the
smaller class of steamships do this. But
there are reasons, including certain
dock regulation, why the larger vessels
adopt the opposite method OF getting
alongside their wharvcs.
One is that their great draught com
pels them to regulate the hour OF sailing
bv the tide. 1t is generally running q
food tide when they back out from their
niers. The current sweeps the stern up
the river, so that there is little difficulty
experienced i'll getting the ships head
pointed down the bay.
Another reason is that the majority OF
the big passenger vessels have prelim-
inary dock trial of their engines before
they cast off their moorlngs. 10 make
sure that the machinery Is IN perfect
order the trial generally lasts for three
or four hours. If moored with stern in
shore, the backwater from the Propelier,s
would be apt to stir up quantity OF Ill
smelling mud, besides doing damage TO
the dock itself.
The coasting vessels are not 80 partlo-
ular, and only turn the propellers over a
faw times before casting off their lines.

Queen Victoria's Dogs.

Her Majesty, as is well known, is fond
of dogs, and Mr. &. B. krehl, in sup
plement to the Stock keeper, gives some
interesting particulars, ascertnlnod on
visit to the kennels ut Windsor, respect
ing the royal canine pet. 1t goes Wlth-
out saying that the animals receive every
attention and are admirably housed.
Their sleeping apartments are carefully
ventilated, and hot-water pipes run
through the length of the building.
In tho kennels are dogs Of nearl y every
breed For colIies the Queen has al
ways shown o preference, and this &C
counts for the number kept at Windsor.
The Princess Beatrice's fancy lies
in the direction of fox terriers, which arc
also well represented. We are glad to
note, by the way, that the fox terriers in
the roval kennels are not locked. 1t
would be good thing if the royal ex-
ample in this respect were generally toll
lowed. How any one Gun imagine that
mutilating dog adds to its beauty, we
fail to understand.
Some of The royal fox-tcrrers are GER
tainly game enough. One OF them-Jock
by name-who when store was recently
cleared out had chance of distinguish
ing himself, killed twenty-five rats i'll a
quarter of an hour Her Majesty, it
should be said, frequently inspects the
kennels, "inquiring into everything at
footing the health und comfort of tho IN
mates and giving each animal caress,
ing pat and kindly word of recognition.
When the royal dogs die they are laid
TO rest beneath the turf where they
gambolled as puppies and were exercised
when they grew up. Each little grave is
marked by stone tablet about foot
long and eight inches across, wherein
few words are engraved, giving the name
ana date of DEATH Among the inscrlp-
tons on the tombstones of the dogs are
the following: Maurice, favourite Mount

A Solid Fog.

The doeterious influence of fogs may
be estimated from some results obtained
from examination and analysis last month
at Kew Gardens, London, England. The
director speaks of the leaves as being
covered with substance like brown
paint "tarry hydrocarbon'-which can
only be scraped off with knife. On
analysis this shows over fifty-one per
cent of carbon and ahydrocarbon, with
forty -one per cent ot metallic lron'
magnetic oxide of iron' and mineral wa
tor. Any one at oil acquainted with the
physiology of plants and animals Gun
apprehend in a moment how such mix
ture must affect both the lungs of man
and the leaves which are the lungs
plants, as regards respiration: Strangely
enough, the deposit appeared TO be more mo-
marked at Kew than at Chelsea. The

Winter Houses of the EskimOs.

The igloos, or winter stone huts, were
not far from the summer tupiks. They
were built upon the hillside, a portion OF
which is dug out to form the interior.
The domed roofs were made of large
pieces of fiat sandstone, carefully ar
ranged and held in place by pieces of
bone. These protruded somewhat into
the hut, and were utilized as hooks upon
which hung harpoon lines, pouches OF
seal and bird skin, skin drinking-c cups,
bonedrills, etc At the back of the hut
was platform raised about foot from
the floor Opposite this, which served
as the bed, was the opening OF tunnel
six or eight feet long through which the
family must crawl to enter their abode;
and here the dogs find shelter during the
storms of winter. The tunnel slopes
down from the floor, so that water from
the melting SHOWS of spring may not run
into the house. Over the inner entrance
of the tunnel, about four feet square, is
another opening Of about the same di-
mansions, which allows light to enter the
dwelling. This hole is closed in winter
bv having stretched thin and soaked in
oil. At Herbert Island, several OF the
igloos were double, that is, two igloos
were built close together, each with sep
arate tunnel, but the dividing, inside,
partition was left Incomplete ILScribner.

PEARL MAKING.
How to Produce Real Pearls by Arti-
fetal Means.

A European writer is responsible for
the statement that an ingenious Amer
lean has applied for patent for making
real pearls by artificial means. The ma
terial Of which the oyster makes its pearl
is certainly cheap and plentiful enough.
If you take tho shell of pearl oyster
and scrapc or grind off the outer coat
you find sheet Of about one eighth of
an inch in thickness of the precise sub
stance which the oyster deposits around
any foreign body, rs grain OF sand,
etc, which gets caught under its mantle,
thus producing the pearl of commerce.
Why not, says the xperimcntnIist, take
this sheet of nacre, dissolve it in acid,
and then redeposit the pearl in layers
about shot or pea suspended i'll tho
solution, thus copying the process of
nature: The idea seems to open up vast
possibilities, for in this way pearls Of
any size or shape might be procured at
the fancy Of the operator. There would
be no difficulty in turning them out as
large as billiard balls, or as footballs
even, for the matter of that. The
trouble is that concretions thus obtained
are nero Jumps Of carbonate of lime,
which entirely lack the iridesccncc which
in the pearl is due to structure. This
little difficulty has always stood i'll the
way of the successful imitation of tho
oysters production; but this latest in
ventor claims that he has entirely over
come it, so Us to be able not only to
manufacture pearls, but also to coat
articles with the material, Just Us spoons
and forks are plated with silver. Whether
the claim will or will not be made good
in practice remains to be proved.
A possibly easier and certain mode OF
pearl production is Indicated by an ex-
traordinary treasure which was lately
shown at the Smithsonian Institute. This
was O pearl, the size of Il pigeon egg, OF
all exquisite rose color, and the receptacle
| containing it was the original resh-water
mussel in which it had been formed. The
nucleus of this gem beyond compare was
nothing more nor less than an oval lump
of beeswax, which had been placed few
| wears ago between the valves OF the mol
| luce, which, to protect itself from the IT.
ritation caused by the presence OF for
| eign body, at once proceeded laborlously
10 coat IL Will tuc plllh HuSio IL SoSlo'"n
for lining its shell. The mussel was kept
in an aquarium while engaged in its
lengthy task. 1t belongs to species
common in American rivers, and it is
suggested that the success of the exper'
iment opens to every body the possibility
of establishing small pearl factory for
himself by keeping tankful of tame
mussels and humburging them into max
ing great pink pearls for him. Only
the intending experimentalist is warned
against avarice; the nucleus must be
well introduced under the mantle of the
creature, or it will not irritate sufficiently
and, above all, it must not be too large
A great surface takes long time tc
cover, and multiples the risk always at
tendant on artificial culture. If one will
be satisfied with pearls the size of peas

here, except to those unable to retire

Armed Against Starvation.

that while Lord Randolph Churchill was

of providing himself and his party with
somebody's Essence Of Lite" This
substance warranted to sustain an adult
for one month" was taken in order to
lessen the chances of starvation through
being lost in the bush. 1t resembles a
small cake Of soap, and one is supposed
to lick t-as mule ticks rock salt-three
times day. Lord Randolph himself
with characteristic sagacity, carries three
cakes. This "essence' is the secret pre-
paration of a professional faster; and al
though it does not appear to be very I'LL

ably.
