North Carolina Oysters.

At the annual meeting Of the Eastern
Carolina PiscatCrial association, held al
Wilmington recently, a number Of Oys
tiers from the beds of the association
were exhibited, all Of which were found
to be in a fine growing condition, those
two years old being large enough to
market. The number Of "spats" adher,
ing to the oysters, a we'll as to shells
showed that the work of wanting was
progressing favOrablg on the grounds of
the company. The report of the presi-
dent showed that the company now has
173, $50 bushels of small oysters planet
and that all were doing well, showing
that the grounds would not only grow to
perfection the oysters planted, but would
replenish the supply by probation. Such
reports go to prove that oyster culture
with proper restrictions ami proper pro.
lection is the true solution of the vexcd
oyster question. The time will come in
the no distant future, if indeed it has not
already come, that the natural beds vii.
not be adequate TO the demands Of the
times Encourage oyster culture, but do
not let the business become a monopoly
or let the growers ruin the natural beds
by the wholesale removal Of oysters from
them to their private grounds.

4 remarkable invention is tho Gro
tier disappearing carriage and gun.
Captain Crozier is stationed at Sandy
Hook. His latsst-a 10-inch gun-is
now being tested there. The und y
lying principle of the mechanism is
founded upon the geometric theories
that, II q right line move so that two
Of its points remain upon two other
lines, making an angle with each
other, the extremity of any other
point of the moving line will describe
an ellipse. The trunnions of the gun
are mounted at the ends OF two levers.
which In turn are mounted ut their
centers on two hydraulic bufiing
cylinders, which nre placed ono on
each side OF the top of the car
riage. The other ends OF these
levers carry the counterweight, u
mass of metal weighing 81, 600 pounds,
placed in the center Of the carriage,
carrying with them the trunniors Of
the supporting levers and raising the
counterweight,w which is held in its ele-
waited position by a system of pawls and
ratchets. When the counterweight is
released it throws the rear ends of the
gun-bearing levers forward and up
ward. The buling cylinders nre
drawn forward over their stationary
pistons to the front end of the car
riage. At the same time the breech
end of the gun is carried up by steel
arms, whose upper ends are pivoted
to the gun, and whose lower ends are
pivoted to sliding blocks which move
in circular grooves, and which may
be raised or lowered to give the de-
sired elevation.
When the discharge occurs the force
of recoil throws back the upper ends
of the levers, which in turn force the
cylinders to the rear end of the car
riage and raise the counterweight to
its original position, where it is
caught and held by the pawls and
ratchets. Neither the gun nor any
part of the carriage is exposed above
the protecting parapet except for the
instant of firing. The extreme eleva-
tion is fifteen degrees; the depression,
nine degrees. 1t is calculated that
two-thirds of the force of the recoil
comes up in the hydraulic cylinders,
the other third being used in raising
the counterweight. Ten rounds were
fired from it in fourteen minutes and
ninetenths seconds, the most rapid
firing of any gun known. The shell is
575 pounds. A noncommissioned
officer and eight men can handle the
gun. A reporter for the New York
Herald saw it tested the other day.
When the bar released the ratchet the
gun rose in the air with an ease and
grace that was astonishing. The cx.
plosion was deafening and the instant
after down it came to its original po
sition with the same gentle and grace,
full motion, as II it were mere toy
being handled by Il girl.

FORCE OF CHARACTER.

Built Up Ills Empire.

Built Up His Empire.
1t is neither by his intelligence nor
his talents, says Max O'Rell in the Re-
vue de Paris, that John Bull has Gre
ated the immense British empire; it is
by force of character. To maintain
an empire of more than 400, 900, 900
scattered over the earth, to widen it
every day, without functionaries, with
a handful of soldiers, and more often
with volunteers, is wonderful, it must
be acknowledged. And, at present,
can affirm that not u single colony
causes John Bull the least apprehen-
sion. A magistrate and a dozen po-
licemen administer and hold in respect
districts larger than five or six French
departments. Justice is meted out to
the natives as impartially as to the
colonists. All these young naticuali
ties enjoy the most complete liborty,
political and social.

IN JAIL FROM CHOICE.
Queer Feature of Law Illustrated by

fiction, and we wonder that its secret
history has not been elaborated by ro-

entirely contented with his position,

mainder OF his life in Jail He was
administrator of an estate and refused
to account to the heirs for S20,00 in
cash he was proven to have had in his
hands, and when ordered by the court
to render an accounting he refused to
do 50.
He is not in Jail for stealing the
100000 but simply for disobeying the
order OF the court. Possibly he thinks
he is better off where he is, paying his
board out OF the stolen money, and
having everything else he wants, than
he would be If he rendered an ac-
count and as result was proved
guilty OF embezzlement and sentenced
to state prison and hard labor.

of court, who has not been condemned
for any crime, lives high. He pays
S15 week for his board and has his
meals brought to him. He is not con-
fined to his room, can range about the
jail at will, but he has not been out
side its walls since he was incarccratel
four years ago.

The peculiar deposit often noticed
on the upper surfaces of leaves, cs-
pecially upon those of the Eastwood

for in two ways: BY the excretion of
a species of minute insect called
aphides, and also as an exudation of
the leaves themselves. 1t may be
trnthfully said that tho cause of this
exudation, which is saccharine

an unsolved botanical mystery. Gray

Their Most Daring Foats Equalled BY

West r0int Cadets.
The principal exercises in which the
Cossacks excel reminded me very
much OF what was familiar with ut
West Point when the boys were free
to indulge their taste for gymnastics
on horseback. Our cadets, at least
large proportion Of every class, uro
quito as clever with their horses as the
average Cossack. I have seen them
stand on the horses back and gallop
in that position, vault in and out OF
the saddle while the horse is gallop-
ing, reach down and pick objects from
the ground, leap hurdles with the
horse, alighting from the animal just
before the hurdle is touched, and
vaulting into the saddle as the horse
clears the obstacle. | have also seen
our West Pointers change horses
while at full gallop, Or one take the
other bphiud him. All those exercises
have seen done not merely with the
saddle, but without; and not merely in
the riding school, but while riding
| out on country roads.
| These are the exercises in which
tho Cossack chiefly excels, writes
Poulteney Bigelow in the Century, and
1t may be acuea in parenthesis that
the horse OF the average CossaclS re-
sembles in many respects the degrSS-ar-
ate beast which the government plaaos
at the disposition of the United States
military academy. The Cossack
learns these tricks as boy when he
is allowed with his mates to ride the
horses bareback to water, and inciden-
tally is encouraged to indulge in
every manner OF sport on the way.
He is encouraged also to persevere in
exercises of this kind, and to be pre-
pared to make an exhibition of him
self when as a soldier he is garrisoned
in towns, whore such exercises sma X
of the circus rather than of the bar
rack yard. The Cossack is so often
pictured in the act of doing daring
things with his horse that it has be-
come common to think that all Cos
sacks are up to this work. As a mat
ter OF fact it is only small and select
portion that keep up these exercises,
and these are embodied in special
section of the cavalry regiment, desir-
mated "Dshigits. The Russian regu-
lations of war order the encourage
ment of these acrobatic cavalrymen,
particularly when they indulge in any
exercises which may he turned to
practical account in war, as, for in
stance, leaping over an obstacle and
firing at the same time, or compelling
the horse to stop suddenly and fail to
the ground, so that its body may b, .
breastwork behind which the trooper
may shelter himself.

Another nelI.f overtnrnea.

1t is pretty well established now
that water, so far from generating ma
laria, may really prevent its polluting
the atmosphere. The germ may grow
in soils even slightly moist, but thin
layer of water evenly distributed over
such soil may prevent tho escape of
tho germ into the atmosphere. In the
same waya thick growth of grass with
matted roots may be impervious to the
germ and keep it beneath the surface
where it can do no harm.
