A Remarkable Hole in the Rocks.

In Ireland, near Horn Head, in
County Donegal, Ireland, there is re-
markable natural hole in the rocks of the
seacoast, which is known all over Britain
as "McSwiney's gun" 1t is believed TO
be connected with sea cavern. When
the sea "runs full" the '.gun" sends up
jets of water to height of more than one
hundred feet, each spouting being fol-
lowed and preceded by loud explosions.
The 'gun i, a perfectly smooth hole
about ten inches in diameter, and its
history can be traced back to the first set
tling of the country. No one seems to
know, however, how it got the name of
"McSwiney's gun."-Chicago Herald.

Oyster planting in Virginia waters la.
been much discouraged of late years by
the fact that private oyster beds are moi
adcqu ,tcly protected. The law OF Vir-
ginia permits any person twelve month
n resident of the State to take oysters
from natural bed, and forbids any per
son to make private property Of such
b ds. Where private beds are sot near
natural deposits they are pretty safe from

planted in open water near the natural
teds it is almost impossible to protect
them.
The awarding Of the contract for fur
niturc for schooihoue in Harrisburg,

is another striking illustration Of the en-.

furniture manufacturing centre Of tho
East, while Roanoke is over 800 miles
distant. The placing of this contract
with tho Roanoke firm implies an ad
