SAVED HIS BURNING SNIP.

An American Captnin's Novel Plan
for Saving Vessel and Cargo.
One of the most brilliant pieces of
ocean wrecking %scamansrip on record,
whereby the vessel, faro t on thu At
lantic with her cargo OH fire, was saved
and bought safely TO port, was per-
formed on board the American ship
John Jay. commanded by Capt. Samuel
Jackson, says Harper; Young People.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The captain
determined upon his course of acton.
He had the carpenter lowered over the
rail and instructed him to bore several
holes low down by the water line.
The vessel was then put on the other
tack so that she would be healed over
on the side where the holes had been
made. The water shot through these
openings. and after the vessel hod been
allowed to sink almost to the level OF
the deck she was put around on the
other tack again, SO that the holes
came within two or three feet of the
top of the water. Several of the sail
0rs, with lines made fast under their
aIuDs end holding long wooden pegs
and hammers. slid down along the
side, steady,ng themselves by ropes
that had been passed under the vessel
and hauled taut, so that they came
alongside of the holes. The tapering
pins We're thrust into the openings and
knocked tight, then the vessel was put
before the wind to get on an even keel.

SEED sowED WITH ARTILLERY
How Gunpowder Was Used to Plant
Trees on a Rocky CraE.

Trees on n Rocky CraE.
Alexander Nasymth, the landscape
painter. was Il man fruitful in expedi-
ents. To his mind the fact that a thing
could not be done in the ordinary man.
ner was no reason why IL should not
be given up. His son relates. in Lon
don Answers. the following interesting
example of his ingenuity: The Duke OF
Athol, says he, consulted him as to
some Improvements which he desired
to make in his woodland scenery near
Dunkeld. Among other things. a GER
tain rocky crag needed to be planted
with trees. to relieve the grim barren
ness of it's appearance. The question
was how to do it. as it was impossible
for any man to climb the crag, in order
to set seed or plants in the clefts of
the rocks. A happy idea struck my
father. Having observed in front OF
the castle Il pair Of small cannon. used
for firing s:.lutes on great days, 1t oc-
Cured to him to turn them to account.
A tinsmith in the village was ordered
to make il number Of canisters with
covers. The canisters were filled with
all sorts OF suitable tree seeds. The
cannon was loaded and the canisters
were fired up against the high face OF
the rock. They burst and scattered
the seed in all directions. Some years
after, when my father revisited the
place, lie wis delighted to find that his
scheme Of planting by artillery had
proved successful. The trees were
flourishing in all the recesses OF the

A Fly to the Reacue.

There Is 4 large black and white hor.
net that makes it his business to catch
flies. He has a hard time to get hold
of one, and when he does he carries
It with his front legs to- some convenient
spot, and proceeds to pull off the fiy's
wings, head and legs before taking
him to his nest. A hornet had sue.
cecded in catching n fly, and had settled
on the cdge. of n open door. He com.
mrnccd amputa:ing with q great deal
of trouble, standing on his hind legs
and working with his front ones. He
was about half way Though his work
when another fly, a relative of the vic,
tim, perhaps, arrived on the scene
and commenced wheeling around and
around the hornet, seeming to be in
great distress.
The fly suddenly few off to a distance
and returned with lightning speed
straight as an arrow, toward the tot.
tering hornet, ramming him with I'LL
his strength. This was repeated until
the hornet was completely dislodged
and forced to retire. The fly had Ger.
tainly done its best to ave its com
panion's life.

the Mink and the Duck.

Thomas Hennessy. of W~hitneyville,
while recently haying in the meadow,
heard a fluttering in the brook, and up
on investigation found Il mink holding
a duck under water neal some over
hanging alders. He made Il splash ON
the water and the mink abandoned the
duck. which came to the surface and
feebly tried to swim. The fowl which
was easily caught, soon expired from a
wound in the neck. Mr.. Hennessy
placed the duck upon the grass with
in a few feet of his work, and while
meditating upon the prospects Of a
rich stew from his unexpected capture
his attention vas again called by the
agitation Of the water. He turned in
season to see the mink in full pos.
session of the bird. The thief was
hotly pursued. but he hung to his prey
and dexterously evaded every effort
at capture, and finally mystcriously
disappeared from view.-Kennebec
