Man as an Agriculturist.

NJ. Felix Alcan in his Conquest of the
Vegetable World, " shows mans progress
when he became an agriculturist. AT first
man was a hunter, afterward he reared
cattle and lastly cultivated the soil. If he
had been able to domcsticatc animals, that
helped him in tillagc. The want of proper
animals may have, in certain measure,
retarded the advance Of particular races or
minimizcd agricultural efforts. Agricul-
turc called on II higher degree of intelli-
gcncc when a field was plowod. There was
even requisite a new mental element, the
exercise Of patience. The man might exist
on the deer Ee killed, for at once the effort
supplied the food But when he plowed,
sowcd and garncrcd a season elapsed before
he had the reward Of his toll
''Ihc profession Of agriculture was much
more toilsumc than that of hcrdsman, ana
man, aycrsc to hard work, rccoilcd long
before the fatigue Of the task" When the
first field was plowcd then the true re-
sources Of mankind were found, and his
progress was assured. The distinguishing
race of cultiyators Of the soil were the Ar
vans, and so the name Aryan comes from
the Latin ararc, to pillow.

WEST POINTS HISTORIC CHAIN.
Once 1t Weighed $50 Tons and Was 1900
Feet Long.

Once 1t Weighed $50 Tons and Was 1900
Feet Long.
No visitor to West Point fails to notice
the few links of the iron chain that lie
around the monument up near the hotel
They are the remains of the great chain
which was stretched across tho Hudson
river during the Revolution to prevent
British warships from sailing past the
forts and landing an army or marauding
parties. Few people know that just above
the entrance to Tuxedo park, on the east
side of the railroad track, are the ruins of
the building in which that chain was
made. They are known rs the old Augusta
forge. The western gable and the south
wall are all that arc standing. 1t was
never anything but n low stone building,
a few feet square, and built by country
mason. 1t was called forge because there
iron was reduced from the ore by the old
fashioned charcoal method, and its coun-
terparts were common all over the country
within the last half century. Itwas owned
by the Sterling Iron Mine company, one
of the large iron manufacturers of the day.
Here was reduced the iron taken from
the mine, four miles west, and the links
were hammered out by hand.
hllCh ~ DCOillc dppdrClG. W UnG COuJl-
mental war department that chain was
necessary to prevent vessels going above
the neutral ground, Secretary Pickering
consulted Mr.. Townsend one of the iron
kings of the day and an owner of the mine,
and shortly after General Putnam gave an
order for the chain. In less than six weeks
the links were delivered to the army cngi-
neer ut New Winsor, just west of New
burg, ready to put together The carting
was done by the ncighboring farmers with
their OK teams. The links were 2 feet long
and "a inches square, each Weighing
about $50 pounds. When put together, the
chain had swivel at every hundred feet.
1t was about l 800 feet long and weighed
$50 tons. 1t was buoyed up by Is foot
logs, pointed ut each end, so as to offer as
little resistance to the tides as possible. II
was put in place in l77S. The part which
is preserved was fshCd up from the bottom
of the river i'll 1855, but the greater part
was sold for old iron to the West Point
foundry, years before.-Now York Press.

PATHETIC ENGLISH sPARRows.
The Earnest Efforts They Put Forth to
Release an Imprisoned Mate.

A gay company of English sparrows were
making things lively ON the corner Of
Crockett and Marshall streets. There must
have been about 40 little fellows in the
crowd, and they were fitting about the
banquctte and in the gutter, Chirping and
uhattering like magpies. Now and then
Uno or two Of them would fly up the street
us if to recOnnoitcr, for when they came
tack the others seemed eager to hear what
over report was to be made At last the
whole bevy flew down in body and began
pecking and dabbing at what seemed to be
nm empty fruit can lying on its side in the
gutter. BY and by sundry bold strokes
and concerted effort with bcaks and
claws and wings succeeded in starting the
can rolling, but the birds staid by it, fol-
lowing up their success till it was at last
well out into the street. BY this time quite
q crowd of people had collected ut the cor
ner, attracted by the unusual commotion
among the birds, and the question arose
as to the cause of the disturbance. Finally
some one discovered that the tin can was
not empty, and an investigation disclosed
the fact that there was u sparrow within
it. The top Of the tin had not been wholly
removed, but was hanging by IA half inch
DlU, WnlCn aClcu us u nlngG. III Is probable
that the adventurous little bird had gone
into the can in search of stray bits of food
and in fitting and turning about had up
set the can and closed the lid upon himself
at the same time. The evidence along this
line was pretty clear, but why had the
sparrows been anxious turcmovc their i'm
prisoncd mate from the gutter? A good
many theories were advanced by various
wiscacres in the crowd, but none seemed
quite plausible until n gang from the water
works came along and began to flush tho
cutters. The sparrows had seen the men
at work higher up the street and knew
that in the course of time they would be-
gin operations on the gutter where their
friend lay confined. Nothing but manful
and concerted action on their part would
save him, and right nobly had they rescued
him.
1t was charming to see their delight
when the top Of the can was turned back
and the little inmate set at liberty. And
in turn the little fellows gratitude seemed
unboundcd. He went about among the
flock chipping and whispering to each ono
and by and by flew away with them tho
gaycst of the crowd.-Shrevcport (La.)

FOUR HUNDRED BELOW ZERO.
Curious Effects of Such Extreme Temper
AZURE en- Iron and CoIors.

Curious Effects of Such Extreme Temper
AZURE en- Iron and CoIors.
Four hundred and twcnty-four degrees
F. below zero! lust what this means it is
almost impossible to imagine, and yet it is
ono of the temperatures which have been
reached and used in laboratory research,
and has been made the subject of some
highly interesting experiments and expla-
nations by Professor Dcwar before the
British Royal Institution.
Four hundred degrees below zero is not
an every day temperature, nor can it be
reached by more everyday means than the
expansion of liquid air, which latter Pro-
fossor Dcwar has succeeded in producing
in comparatively large quantities, and in
storing by novel and ingenious methods
to be used as required in the study of mat
ter at abnormally low temperature, exactly
as n spirit lamp or Bunscn burner is
used in studying the properties of different
bodies at the higher temperatures.
The tensile strength of iron mt 400 below
zero is just twice what it is at 60 above
1t will take strain of 60 instead of 80
tons to the square inch, and equally curl
Gus results have come out as to the clOnga-
ton of metals under these conditions. 1t
was an idea Of Faraday that the magnet
ism in permanent magnet would be in
creased at very low temperatures, and cx-
perimcnts with comparatively low temper
aturcs had rather negativcd Faraday S sug-
gestiOn, but Professor Dewar has COM
plctcly verified the opinion of the famous
savant, having shown that a mangct at
the extremely low temperature made pos
sible by the liquid air had its power in
creased by about 80 per cent.
Very low temperature was shown also to
have II remarkable effect upon the color Of
many bodies. For example, the brilliant
scarlet Of vcrmilion and mercuric iodidc is
reduced under its influence to a pale or
angc, the original color returning with
the rise of tho temperature. Blues, on the
other hand, are unaffected by cold, and
the effect is comparatively small upon or
ganic coloriuE in matters of all tints.-

Sensitive because of Her Age.

Many persons show so strange a SCnsi-
tivencss to the question of age that their
friends may well avoid the entire subject.
When Mrs. S. c. Hall was at least 10 years
old, she met at Il reception young clergy
man who was apparently delighted to see
her
Mrs. Hall, said he, II remember read
ing your books when was a child, and
that l was especially charmed by the Irish
stories"
"Thcn, sir flashed Mrs. Hall, "if you
read my books when you were child, you
ought to know better than TO say so.
The mother of Julia Kavanaugh was u
woman Of great intellectual power and I'M
usual force of character, but even when
she was so years old she was ashamed of
her age.
One day she went with her French maid
to the cemetery ut Nice to visit the tomb
she had erected to her daughter. I'hc two
were standing before the stone when the
maid innocently read the inscription. Ju-
liza kavanaugh had then been dead seven
years, and her age, 81, was of course re-
corded.
Madam must be very old" remarked
the maid.
"Oldr' exclaimed Mrs. Kavanaugh.
"Why should l be oldf What do you know
about my agc?"
"Madcmoiselle was 81 when she died, "
continued the girl, land she has been dead
some time. Therefore madam must be
very old. "
Mrs. Kavanaugh said nothing but next
day she sent n mason to the cemetery and
had the telltalo figures rcmoycd.-Youth's

Each of the three masts of all but very
small vessels consists Of number of sticks
one above another. The "hcc" of the top
mast comes a little below the head" Of
the lower mast and is secured by Il cap"
sort of iron band, and Il bar, called n
cid" Above the topmast comes the top
gallant mast, and above that the royal
mast.
The running rigging consists Of ropes
used in handling the yards and sails, and
every rope has a distinguishing name.
Halyards are ropes used to hoist yards and
sails. Braces arc ropes used to swing the
yards around by.
To the beginner the names of ropes are
apt to be very confusing. Old salts are
fond of spinning yarn about a lad who
wanted to 60 to sea until he heard that the
fore topgallant studding sail boom tricing
lining thimblc block mousing was the
name Of about the smallest bit of rope on
board ship, when he at once concluded that
such being the case he could never expect
to master the name of the largest rope and
consequently decided to become farmer.

a story is told by one Of Lord Zetland's
party, that was making inquiries into the
condition Of II distressed district in Ire
land. They were crossing Il lake. A gale
was blowing and waves were dashing over
the boat. The gentleman referred to had
been assured that an Irish peasant, if treat
ed well, will always agree with what is said
to him, rather than appear disagrceable.
1t struck the gentleman that here was a
good chance to put the assertion to the
proof "Thero is very little wind, Pat"
he said to one Of the boatmcn. The an
;wer came through the bowling of the ele-
ments, VERY little indade, yer honor, but
