There is queer fruit in Batavia,
Japan, which has the quality of explod-
ing when under water. 1t is a dried
pod-like growth of the justicia plant,
and its explosive feature is natures pro-
vision for sowing it's seed. There are
many plants that have the same quality
but this one Is peculiar. in that contact
with water hastens the explosion. The
fruit is shaped like cigar, and Is
little less than an inch in length. 1t is
full Of seeds, and when the explosion
takes place. the water moistens
gummy substance on the outside OF the
seeds, which makes them stick where
they fall This is another provision OF
nature, by which the plant Is enabled to

KIDNAPPED BY A TARPON.
The Adventure of Small Boy Who Went
Fishing i'm Louisiana Bayou.

The little son of the agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, stationed at
Bayou des Allemands, had an adventure
the other day while fishing for the gay
and everything catfish, says New
Orleans Times-Union. The little fellow
was out in the river in fiat-bottomed
boat, and while handling his line sud-
denly became aware that something out
Of the ordinary was at the other end
of it. The line, which he was holding
rather slackly, became apparently alive,
and in a moment was whizzing through
on the hook. The boy endeavored to
stay its outward flight, but to no pur
pose, and he had the satisfaction of
seeing the end reached in quick order.
Fortunately for the remainder of the
story, the end was securely fastened to
the boat and as the line tautened out
the little craft began a series of
manoeuvres on the surface of the river,
and the boy, becoming alarmed at the
unusual occurrence, yelled for assist
ance. The craft went on with the flood;
in the one end the boy, on the other a
powerful something or another, which,
content with giving sample of its
skill as a head-on propeller, kept it's
bulk hidden beneath the water. And
still the boy kept on yelling, and the
boat a-going, until several men on the
bank of the bayou, hearing the cries,
embarked in a skiff, and armed with
steel harDoon-they had been there be-
fore-started for the boy and the boat
and the something another. still under
the water, but occasionally breaking the
surface as if ii wanted TO fly. When
the rescuers reached the flying craft
one of them seized the tautened fish
line, sententiously remarking. "Grande
Ecaille," began to shorten in, and in
about five minutes of hard work had
brought the capture alongside, where it
began cavorting and plunSing, throwing
the water in clouds. Another of the
men, seizing the harpoon, watched an
opportunity, and in a few minutes more
darted the steel into the cleaning sides
of the fish, for such it was. When the
bank was reached the capture was
taken ashore. 1t proved to be a
splendid specimen of the tarpon. and
measured over six feet in length, its
scales being larger than a silver dollar
and cleaning with a silver lustre and
flecked with multitude Of other cOlors

TIE ways of courts are past finding

curious incident of exoribitant lawyers
fees has come into notice through an
order recently issued by the supreme
court IN Brooklyn, directing the distri-
button of the damage obtained by a
little girl in a suit against a trolley
company. The girl had lost both her
feet, and obtained judgment for Sl3.-
26S.GS. The court has ordered the
company to pay the girls coun sci
S7,244S5, leaving the crippled girl
$6.023.S3 as her share. The lawyer
spent perhaps six months on the case.
The girl goes through life helpless
from the want of her feet. Yet more
than half the verdict obtained is given
to the lawyer, and that by order of a
court which is supposed to deal out
justice. There ought to be some
power somewhere that could teach that

BOILER RUST.
Best Means of Preventing This Danger
Gus Condition.

Some of the best means If preventing
the internal rusting of boilers, as lately
pointed out by a German authority on
the subject, are-while the boiler is
working-first, removing air from the
feed water before it enters the boiler;
second, removing air from the water
while in the boiler, and preventing its
accumulation in pockets, etc.; third, ad-
dition of chemicals to the feed water
before it enters; fourth, protective coat
ings applied to the inside of the shell.
While the boiler is standing idle resort
may be had to the following: First, re-
moving all moisture from the boiler.
either by blowing it off while hot, or by
producing an air current through it, or
by placing Microscopic bodies inside {:
second, direct protection Of the shells
by painting with tar, varnish, ETC., by
covering with protective paints and
such an alkaline coating as the milk Of
lime: third, protecting the shells from
the varying temperatures by keeping
the draught in the hues constant, thus
preventing moisture being alternately
deposited and evapOrated on the she'll:
and fourth, protecting the shell by COM
pletely filling the boiler with water
from which all air has been expelled. 1t
is of decided advantage that the feeding
should be complete before the with
drawal ceases for a day, in order that
the water left standing in the boiler
over night may be as free from air as
possible; an efficient circulation is also
to be considered among the means Of
preventing rusting, as 1t binders the

however. more often the cause of inter-
