Foghorn ExncrIments.

A series of experiments with fog horns, which will probably result in systematic investigation, have recently been made. In one of these n boat steamed directly toward a 7ightshio from 2 distance of four and ..alf miles. At two and three-fourths miles the sound of the horn became audible, and at two and one-half suddenly increased in loudness, and held the same inten- sity until the boat was within two miles of it. From one and three fourths to one and one-half the sound could scarcely be heard, but after that it at once increased and became so loud that it seemed quite close to the yes sel, Here the steamboat reversed it's course, and the fuctuation was found to be the same. Again reversing, the sound disappeared and reappeared after one and one-half miles, became entirely inaudible at half mile, reap bearing again at a quarter of mile, after which it steadily increased until the lightship was reached.

EATING MEAT RAW.
A Curious Habit Said to Be Increasing In
 London.

A Curious Habit Said to Be Increasing In
 London.
 The well-lSnown favor with which Englishmen regard undCrdone beef brings to notice curious habit which is said by the New York Advertiser to be on the increase in London, that of eating meat raw, or nearly so. The habit started from belief that it was conducive to health.
 Of late years there has been great run Ou the gravy CT juice expressed from raw beef by the latter being squeezed into pulp; but, quite apart from this, many regular customers buy the finest cuts with a special view to eating the latter raw, each customer having an earnest belief that he beue- fits in health from the practice. In most cases it is more than matter of health than of actual taste. There are two remarkable points about raw meat eating, one of them being that a great many butchers themselves constantly cut prime bits off and chew them.
 The other point is that great many people, who do not at home eat in raw state the meat that they buy, judge the quality when buying by chewing bit oi m" meat, just as they might taste of butter or cheese. A celebrated London barrister eats quantities of the best s.eaN finely minced with salad, aud in a great many other cases the meat is cut into very slim shreds and made into sandwiches, with seasoning added. Eestaurant-keepers say that the chief call Is for meat very much underdone, but there are great numbers of faddy people who eat meat absolutely raw.

Costly Chicken Diet.

Recently J. E. Thurmond, a wealthy farmer, who lives between Louisiana and Bowling Green, Mo, on removing the .sparkleF" from his shirt bosom placed it in safe keeping on the mantle, but on seeking it little while after ward the costly jewel had taken flight. No person had seen it, and diligent in- 4uiry failed to connect anyone with it's sudden disaPpearancei but it finally occurred to Mir. Thurmond that per haps a pet chicken which had the en. tree to the house was the thief, but how Co connect it with the robbery other than by resorting to the ax blade was beyond his reach. His decision was soon made up that the chicken should pay the penalty, and like many others that have taken the same route to the fowls paradise, off went the head. After careful post mortem, to the astonishment of those present, on splitting open the gizzard the gem was found firmly encysted in that organ.
