ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
Two Adventurous Navigators Make tn.
Voyage In Rowboat.


London, Aug. Full details Of the
adventurous voyage Of Harvo and
Samuelson in rowboat which reached
Scilly last Saturday are published.
Haryo says they left New York, june
9, at 8 2. M. Owing to strong winds
they were driven northward to the
banks of Newfoundland, and July
they spoke the schooner Leader, and re-
quested the master to report them all
well.
July z, they encountered heavy
gale from the west, and had great diff
Guilty in keeping ON board, keeping one
of them bailing. The gale continued
with more or less force until p. M,
July 10, when a heavy sea struck and
capsized the boat, throwing them into
the water. After few minutes they
succeeded in righting her and getting
on board, and bailing her out All
their provisions, anchor, cooking uten-
sils. signal lights and several other ar
tioles which were not lashed to the
boat were lost. After the accident
they suffered severely from the cold,
having to remain in their wet clothing.
Shortly after the weather moderated
and the wind continuing, they proceed
cd eastward. July 10 they boarded
the Norwegian bark Cito, from Quebec
for Pembroke, and were supplied with
water and provisions, and again when
about 400 miles west of Scilly, July "a,
hey spoke the Norwegian bark Eugen,

Growing Melons.

1t is natural at planting time to put
some composted stable manure in
melon hills. The soil is then rather
damp and too cool for the melons. The
manure dries and warns 1t, which
gives the seed an earlier start than
1t could get without the manure. But
about this time the man who has mel
ons with manure in the hill wishes he
had not put any there. No matter how
we'll composted the manure, 1t will not
hold Its moisture into midsummer
heats. The best way to water these
melon hills is to make deep holes down
below the manure in the hills, and then
slowly fill and refill them with water
until the ground Is well saturated.
Then II the holes are filled with loose
soil, and the surface is kept mellow to
prevent evaporation, the melons will
not suffer for lack of moisture In even
the dryest times.

the mother of the fact, but she said
there was no danger, as the lion would
not hurt anything. The child crawled
within reach and the animal seized
the infant by the head and shook ii as

less of danger, rushed to the rescue of
her babe, and might have been torn to
pieces but for the quick presence of

lion with whip. The lion let go of
the child, but was a corpse, its head
being crushed out of all semblance to
