Imnrnred Window Sash.

A simple mechanical contrivance is
being adopted by English builders by
which window sashes may be given
two movements, the one upward or
downward, and the other inward.
Practically, only one action is required
to effect the change from an ordinary
sash to a easement window. BY drop
ping a catch at one side of the sash the
cord is secured, the window frame be-
ing released from the sash and slip
ping into pivot hinges, when it can
be opened as easement and
keys itself in 80 doing; when clos
ing, the sash again engages with
the cord, which runs in a groove in
the pulley slide and serves as one of
the guides to keep it in its place when
working up and down as sash. In
this arrangement the beading, which
is generally used to guide and sepa.
rate the sashes, is entirely dispensed
with, the sashes being guided by suit
able tongues working in grooves on
the right or hinge side. On the leh
side the sash, when closed for use as q
lifting window, engages with a metat
block attached to the end of the weight
cord, which serves to guide it on the
frame, the sash being also so arranged
that it cannot possibly come of the
hinGs2 except when closed.

depth the water of the ocean is intense
~ cold, remaining both winter and
summer at point only slightly above
'reezlng. Life in the vast waste of
water called the Pacific is either near
tne service or at the bottom. The
aoyssal fishes cannot live except under

The ocean bed across which the
cable will lie is fairly well populated
with living species, most of which are
vet unknown to science. This remark
applies particularly to the larger fishes
which cannot be brought up with the
trawl. The total length of the lines
surveyed by the Albatross and Thetis,
between California and Hawaii, was
6,7S5 miles. In the sounding opera
tions 179, IA: feet of piano wire was

The work of the government is
about completed. The object has
been merely to discover the practical
bility of laying a cable and to deter
mine the best route. A private COM
pany must do the rest toward carrying
out the scheme. This is the first step
toward cable running all the way
across the Pacific to Japan, China or
Australia. Such cable is desira BILE
and necessary. The circuit world
would then be complete with connect
ing wires, and message could be
sent round the globe a dozen times or
more in the space of a minute. The
lines of the Eastern Submarine Tele-
graph company extend to India by
way of the Mediterranean and SueZ,
and the lines of the Eastern Subma-
rine Extension company enter under
the seas of China, Japan, Australia

the fact that he understood the weak
points of the Egyptians as well as
their virtues. 1t is not the enthusl-
asst who believes that all in his country
is perfect who is the best patriot. To
saw that such a man as this--a man
who has a better knowledge of many
different governments than half OF the
English cabinet have of their own
and who wishes the best for his khe-
dive and his country-needs the ad-
vice or support of an English resi-
dent minister is as absurd as to say that
the French cabinet should govern
themselves by the manifestoes OF the
Comte de Paris. These men are not
barbarians or despots; they have not
gained their place in the world by in
heritance. Their homes are as rich in
treasures of art and history and liter
ature as are the homes of Lord Rose
berry or Sir Henry Drummond Wolff,
and if they care for their country and
the authority of their khedive it is
certainly hard that they may not have
the right of serving both undisturoed.

Hatching Out Alligators.

Alligators' nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
4 feet in height and about feet in
diameter, and are constructed OF
grasses and herbage. First the mother
gator DEPOSITS one layer OF eggs on a
mortar-like floor, and, having covered
this with a stratum of mud and herb
age about eight inches thick, lays
another set of eggs upon that, AND SO
on to the top, there being commonly
from 100 to zoo eggs in a nest. With
their tails the parents then beat down
the tall grass and weeds to prevent
the approach of unseen enemies. The
female watches her egg: until they
are hatched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing
for their subsistence.
