Education and tl,e Fair.

Speaking of one feature of the Column
bian exhibition, a Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otic americans take keener pride than
the schools, academies and colleges. The
great common school spstem is our coun-
try's unique glory. TO make display
Of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would be
shortsighted and absurd. At the ex-
press and repeated invitation Of the di-
rectors Of the Worlds fair the educa-
tional authorities in the several states.
aided by appropriations. set to work to
prepare suitable exhibits of the work Of
the schools and colleges. Large sums Of
money Lave already been expended, with
q promise Of the most satisfactory re-
suits, and the exhibition space asked for
is likely to be too small rather than too
large

IOWA BUILDING.

Julian Dubuque, besides doing little
trading with the Indians. worked the
lead mines, of the existence of which he
was informed by the aborigines, and it
is therefore but natural that this product
and relics in connection with it should
form an important feature of the Iowa
exhibit, although great deal Of space
will be given up to agriculture, for it is
a fact that Iowa contains less waste land
than any state in the Union. All the
rare plants of the state will also be on
exhibit and many interesting relics Of
early days and Indian tribes.

Industries of the state. The exhibit will
show in separate groups the products Of
all sections from the mountains and
rivers to the Big Sioux basin. There will
be views showing a1'tesian creeks and
lakes and few of the most wonderful
artesian wells known, some having flow
of over 1000 gallons per minute and a
pressure of $50 pounds to the square inch.
There are no other artesian wells of such

Tho Hydrophone.

A valuable apparatus for coast defense
and also for the defense of ironclads has
been brought into practical use in England.
Its object is to give warning Of the approach
Of hostile torpedo boat or battleship dur
ing the night or in fog. It consists Of an
instrument resembling q microphone. This
instrument Is placed inside an iron diving
bell and suspended In the water at q conven
lent depth. The electric wires from the in
strument are led to stations on the coast or
on board the battleship, and variations In
the current can be indicated In suitable
way. When ship approaches within tho
range Of mile Of the instrument, the vibra-
tions Of its engines and the motion Of the
propellers produce q corresponding vibra-
ton in the diaphragm. This vibration In
the diaphragm Is used to produce varia-
ton in the electric current, which In its
turn indicates the vibrations on the station.
The Industrial World thinks thst the ap-
plicability of this instrument Is very wide,
and 1t will prove useful in the merchant
service for the object Of informing the coast
guard Of the approach Of steamer to tho
rocks during the fog.

Aswill be seen from the sketch the COCO de
mer has a very different method of growth
from that adopted by the general run of
vegetation. The huge double fruits, IA
inches or so in length, require a good deal
of coaxing to induce them to send out
shoot. This shoot, too, is very capricious
and must be carefully tempted to attach
itself to the soil, which it does at some
distance, often as much as two or three
feet. The shoot then sprouts up like an
ordinary well behaved plant, and the
leaves commence to develop. The whole
process is shown in the sketch, where the
fruit is seen placed in the small pan Of
damp moss and sending forth shoot to
another pot The large fbrous fruits.

unknown to naturalists. Among others
the sailors of the Malay peninsula aver that
the fruit grows on tree deep down in the
unfathomable depths Of the ocean.

Our Household Pets,

The custom of having household pets
among the lower animals is as old as
the human race or the domestic ami
mails themselves. They serve as in
teresting studies in natural history;
they are good object lessons for child
rem in thoughtful kindness and pa
tience, and are safety valves for super
abundant affection. The dog ranks
first, probably because of his naturally
demonstrative nature rather than his
superior intelligence to some other
animals, and some birds. The dog not
only becomes an actual member Of the
family, but too frequently he becomes
its autocrat, governing it with rod of
iron, making his own tastes and con-
veniences so paramount to other con-
siderationS that he becomes nuisance
to all but his doting mistress. The cat
is far less obtrllsive in it's manners,
and. the student Of animals declares,
no whit less intelligent or affectionate.
1t is quiet, self-contained little beast
with shrewd lack of confidence in
the intentions of it's human sponsors,
which reminds one of the business
mans maxim: Believe everybody a
liar till he has proved himself other
wise" Integrity of motive can scarce
ly be proved to the permanent salts
faction of a cat, but while there is no
attempt at departure from the usual
routine of life, it will display a super
fetal truthfulness and affection really
quite touching.-Philadelph Press.

The March of Color.

In the early months of summer white
flowers predominant in the northern
field and garden. In July yellow flow
ers begin to prevail and their reign
seems to eliminate in August, which
is the month par excellence of golden
hues. In September and October the
ascendancy passes to blue and purple
blossoms One cannot help noticing
that this march of color among the
flowers, carrying them from white in
the spring to blue in the autumn, re-
calls the supposed progression of age
among the stars as indicated by their
colors. 1t has generally been thought,
although the fact has not yet been
finally demonstrated, that the white
stars are the youngest, that the yellow
stars represent the mid-season of solar
life. and that the deeply colored stars,
red. purple and blue, are those which
are fast passing into decadence. If this
is true, then in the heavens also we
NAV say white is the color of spring
time and purple the badge of the sea-
son of decay.
