Daring Plunge OF a Steamboat.

The development of the great North
west is sometimes attended with peri
lous incidents. In running steam
boats from Rainy Lake river to Rainy
Lake recently steam boat was COM
PEELED to plunge over falls ten feet
high.
AT the last moment the engineer
deemed prudence the better part of
valor, and decided not to make the
perilous trip. So the captain fixed
wire running from the pilot house to
the engine-room and attached it to the
steam throttle so he could shut off
steam when he disired. Then casting
off lines and pulling the throttle wide
open, with full head of steam on, he
steered into the current leading to the
rapids above the falls, which is con-
fined in a narrow gorge, and where
the water runs with a fearful current.
With the force of the current and
tue full head of steam the steambo
shot ahead with the speed of an ar
row, and as the brow of the falls was
reached the captain pulled the wire
to shut off steam, the steamboat shot
out of the water full length, exposing
the. whole bottom, keel, wheel and
rudder, aud then dropped into the
boiling, swirling water below the falls.
The current was swift, strong and tor
tuous, hut luckily he guided her safely
into quiet water, when steam was ap-

binding one of them. Perkins shot
the cat through the heart as soon as
he was able to single ii out from the
dogs.
Perkins had no sooner done this
than second cat, smaller than the
first, attacked the blind dog, lacerating
it SO that 1t had to be killed. Perkins
succeeded in shooting this cat as we'll.

ringlets. Investigation has proved
that these girls have to work particu-
larly hard on the days preceding the
balls. They make their own dresses,
do their own housework, etc. The
anticipation of pleasure may also have
something to do with increasing their

The microscope does not explain
the last mentioned phenomena; it
shows, however, the nature of the
cause that make the hair appear white
as the consequence OF fear, distress,
or any strong mental excitement. As
already stated, the sensation is APP
parently due to degeneration OF the
pigment matter. According to my
own Investigations it is occasioned by
air bubbles arising in the shaft of the
hair, and completely covering the
color particles. How this process
comes about science has not yet dis
covered. 1t is an open question
