Selecting n New Town Name.

The inhabitants of Rat Portage, On tario, are very anxious to have the name of their town changed. Its growing im- portance, they think, demands for it Q more dignified and delicate name, and their pride and cultured ears are hurt by the appellation of Rat Portagers, by which they are known. Petitions for a change have been sent to the authori- ties, and the names suggested by the petitioners include Van Horn, Sylvana, Minnesobie and Sultana. The latter is much favored, but the Rat Portagers evidently do net see the danger of their staid citizens being known as Sultanas. New York Sun.

To Float Alone.

To float alone adown tho stream, When rays of moonlight silver gleam On paddle blade, and glance and play, And light path far down tho bay;
 This is pleasure fair, deem. To slip along and Idly dream On things that are and things that seem; Full ofton would steal away
 To float alopo. But when my fortunes i'll bcseem And falls on me the colder beam Of bills long due that must pay, Then must either steal away,
 Or float loan.

STRANGE NOISES.
The Booming of Cannon Heard at the
Delta on the Ganges.

Delta on the Ganges.
For many years strange noises have
been heard over half the large area of
the Ganges delta, for which no sstisfae-
tory cause has been discovered The
noises are called the Barisal guns from
the chief town of the districts to which
they are mostly confined.
The Asiatic society of Bengal has dis
cussed the sounds, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, but the learned mem
bers are no nearer a solution than when
the subject was taken up nineteen years
ago.
The sounds resemble the explosion OF
bombs or the thunder of heavy guns.
They occur at regular intervals, but
most frequently in the rainy season,
and their usual accompaniment is a
southerly wind. They are heard along
one hundred miles of the coast and up
the many branches of the delta from
fifty to one hundred miles inland, and
due north as far as CAIRO hills, about
one hundred and fifty miles from the
coast. The low lying, swampy coast
region for fifty miles inland is thinly in
habited, and, strange as it may appear,
no one ever seems to be at or near the
place where the noises originate.
The noises are variously assigned to
atmospheric electricity, to subterranean
or subaqueous agencies, to the bursting
of bamboos-which last, however, pro-
duces noise more like the crack of
musl1etry than the boom of artillery
and also to the breaking of the surf roll
lers along the northern shore of the bay
of Bengal, the sound of which, it is
urged, is borne far inland along the
river channels. The discussion showed
chiefly that the learned men were sadly
perplexed, and the only conclusion they
reached was that as yet sufficient data
had not been collected to trace the
sounds to their origin
