A Remarkable Potato.

Andrew Maxwell, a we'll known
merchant in Glasgow, was in the
island of Arran some years ago with
his mother and sisters. The weather
was unusually warm, and his venor-
able mother suffered so much from
the heat that her hands became
swollen, and as her marriage ring
was fretting her finger one of her
daughters, after no little coaxing,
persuaded her to allow it's removal
To the dismay of the daughter the
ring was lost, but she procured an
other so like the old one that the
change was not noticed when it was
placed on her finger.
Next year the family went back
to the same house, and in the au-
tumn, when the farm servant in a
neighboring building, having boiled
potatoes for the pigs, was crushing
potato in her hand, she felt some
thing hard, and, on looking at this
thing inside the potato, she ex-
claimed to one of the Maxwell serv-
ants who was beside her, Here's a
ring in the potato, and showed a
thin, worn marriage hoop. Il be-
ileve, said the other, lit is my
mistress ring, and we can find that
out because her initials were inside
the hoop. On examining it there
were tho initials, and the lost ring
was identified. 1t had evidently been
swept out among the ashes, the ash.
es thrown upon the ash pit, the con,
fonts of the ash pit on the potato
field, and tho ring absorbed by the
potato inside of which it was found
year after it had been lost Good

This Is u Snake Story,

In the month of July some four or
hve years ago | was out shooting
horican with a friend Of mine in
Guzerat. We had had fairly good
luck, and as wo were making our
way to tho railway station to catch
the early train back to Ahmedabad
l noticed my friend, who was shoot
ing in line on my left, point his gun
atsomething on the ground and fire,
and on asking what it was he said
it was large black cobra, and that
he had shot it in two pieces, the
head portion disappearing down a
hole. AS we were in a hurry to
catch the train we went on, but very
soon heard one of the heaters calling
out, and looking back saw him run
ing toward us with the head portion
of the snake following him with the
hood expanded. 1t appeared that he
had remained behind trying to dig
out the cobra, and tho result was
that it came out of the hole and
went for him. Of course the snake
could not get much pace on and was
quickly killed.-Journal of the Bonn.

Power of Water In Mining.

The effect of tho hydraulic motor,
which is now used for the purpose
or removing masses of earth, we'll
nigh passes belief. A stream of wa
ter issuing from pipe six inches in
diameter, with fall behind it of
375 feet, will carry away a solid
rock weighing ton or more to a
distance of SO or 100 feet. The yeloo-
lty or the stream is terrific, and the
column OF water projected is so SOL
1d that II n crowbar or other heavy
object be thrust against it the i'm
pinging object will be hurled a con-
siderable distance.
BY this stream of water a man
would BIO instantly killed if he came
into contact with it, even at a dis.
tanoe of 200 feet. At 200 feet from
the nozzle a six inch stream, with
S76 feet fall, projected momentarily
against the trunk of a tree, will in
Q second denude it of tho heaviest
bark as clearly rs if it had been cut
with an AK. Whenever such stream
is turned against bank, it cuts and
burrows it in every direction, hol.
lowing out great caves and causing
tons of earth to melt and fall and
be washed away in the sluices.

Silk From Spidern.

In an exhaustive paper on Re
searches on Silk Fiber" Mr.. Wardle
says in the course of his report:
Il believe, if it can be obtained in
quantity, it might be packed in bales
and sent to England, where it would
readily find market for being card
ed and spun into silk threads for
sewing or weaving purposes. 1t is
difficult to estimate its market value.
1 dare say it would, at any rate, real
ize 1 shilling to ? shillings a pound.
1t is rather dirty, and this would to
some extent detract from its value
as compared with silk waste"
The spider to which this silken
mass was referable is Nephilengys
(Epeira) malabarensis, Walck., a
species of very wido tropical distri.
button and apparently in great
abundance where it occurs. There
seems to be no reason why almost
any amount of this silk should not
be obtainable from the low plants
and scrub on which the spiders spin
their snares, and with a little care
in gathering much less intermixed
with dirt and other adventitious mat.
tor than the sample above alluded
to. In fact, we may easily conceive
that it would be possible, with lit.
tie trouble, to form a kind of spider
farm for the purpose of producing
this silk in the greatest possible per.
lection and abundance. From Mr..
Wardle's analysis and treatment OF
this silk it may be seen that it pos.
sesses some very valuable and Gu.
rious characteristics Nature

EXTINCTION OF THE BISON.

In wild state the American BIZ
son, or buffalo, is practically, though
not quite wholly, extinct. AT the
present moment there are about 200
wild buffaloes alive and on foot in tho
United States. To obtain these high
figures we include the $50 individ-
uals that tho white head hunters and
red meat hunters have thus far left
alive in tho Yellowstone park, whore
tho buffalocs are fondly supposed TO
be protected from slaughter. Besides
these there arc only two other
bunohos-one of abouS3O head in
Lost park, Colorado, protected by
state laws, and another containing
between 80 and 40 head in Val Verde
county, Tex, between Devils river
and the Rio Grando.
Four years ago there were over
300 head in tho Yellowstone park,

hoped the species would oN on yet be

Tho poaChors have been hard at
work, and rs a result our park herd
has recently decreased more than
one-half in number. 1t is brutal,

StructiOn.
Besides the places mentioned there
is only ono other spot in all North
America that contains wild buffa-
loeS.
Immediately southwestward of
Great Slave lake there lies vast
of swamps and stunted
pines into which no white man has
ever penetrated far, and where the
red man still reigns supreme. 1t is
bounded on the north by the Lizard
and Mackenzie rivers, on the east by
the Slave river, on the south by the
Peace river and on the west by the
Rocky mountains. Mr.. Warburton
Pike says it is now the greatest
beaver country in the world, and
that it also contains few bands of
the so called wood buffalo.
Sometimes they are heard of at
Fort Smith and Vermillion, some
times at Fort ST. John, on tho Peace
river, and occasionally at Fort Mel
son, on the Lizard, but it is impos-
sible to say anything about their
numbers. AT all events, in Febru-
airy, 1890, Mr.. Pike found eight buff
faloes only four days travel from
Fort Resolution, on Great Slave
lake, aud succeeded in killing one.
The Canadian authorities estimate
