The Cow Ate q Bnse Bull.

From the Musk .gcn CMlch) Chronicle.
Several weeks ago a COW belonging to
Rolla Payne, Acorn street. began to lose
Its appetite and grow thin. There seemed
to be nothing the matter with the animal,
but IL continued to slowly starve. II ate
very little, just sufficient TO keep life with
In its body. but not enough to sustain ft
any length OF time. Mr.. Payne finally came
down town and consulted DIR. ID. W. Rose.
who sent up some medicine. but did not see
the animal
Six weeks passed, and the cow grew thin
ner and thinner. while the owner grew
more and more perpleXed. One night the
cow was seized with violent fit of cough
ing, and during this coughed up a boys
ordinary base ball. 2l inches I'm diameter,
which. during all this time had been
lodged In the animals throat.
AS soon as relieved OF the ball the bovine
began to improve, and its appetite increased
time flesh. and is none the worse for fits
unusual feast.
The animal. OF course. got the ball into
Its throat while feeding, and IL lodged
there. 1t fell to one side. and there was
just room enough to admit the passage OF
enough food to keep the animal alive. Had
the ball become permanently fixed in the
animaIs throat a dangerous operation
would have been necessary to remove IL,
as, on account OF the position in which IL
lay. the incision would have had to be
made beside the jugular vein.

An ORGAN THAT COST 100000.

Mr.. Sear1es. Who Married Mark Hop
kins' Widow, Has Bought 1t.
From the New York journal.
E. F. Searles. the millionaire, who now
lives at Methuen. Mass. is devoted to organ
music, and has just bought what is believed
to be the greatest organ in America. Mr..
Searles married the immensely wealthy
widow Of Mark Hopkins Of California.
The organ belonged to the Boston Music
Hall and originally cost $4,000. The price
Mr. Searles paid for it was 81 800. He will
erect building especially for it at Me-
thuen-
The great organ was built many years
ago by popular subscription Its speclfica-
lions were as follows: 1. manual (great),
% stops, 1.IsO pipes, 2, manual (swelD. Is
stops. 1.1I2 pipes; g. manual CHOIR, IS
stops, J2s pipes; 4, manual tsolo). IL stops,
IA pipes; pedal. % stops. go pipes: total.
81 stops. 5,414 pipes.
1t stood seventy feet high, was forty
seven feet wide, eighteen feet deep, and
weighed seventy tons. Two great central
towers stood forward fifteen feet. and were
composed of several great 32-foot pipes Of
tin. The WOODWARD is all of black walnut
richly carved The pipes, including the
mechanical accessories, numbered $500.
The organ was placed in Music Hall in 1865.
The order for building the colossal in
Strument was placed in 1858 with the firm
of Walcker, at Ludwigsburg. in GerEla n.y..
Its purchase and completion were matters
In which the pride of all music-loving Bos-
ton was centerej for years The sum which
IL was originally proposed TO spend was
S25.UO. The directors OF the Music Hall ap-
propriated s1o.UOO. and the rest was raised
by popular subscription. In spite of the
~ar the work went steadily and the
organ came over In a specially chartered
ship. which succeeded in lodging the con-
Tolerate pryateers- Before II was finally
put together it cost over 10000 The first
pubic recital given on 1t was a popular
event of the first magnitude. and for years
the organ was one of the wonders of
Boston
No man in the world probably possesses a
greater organ for his personal enjoyment
than Mr.. Searles. He has attained the
height of his ambition

the cube root Of 6. but is less than :s43 the

that the cube root of these three figures is

easily frame problems which could not be

apparently as inexhaustible row ever.

under the city of Ballarat which has over
10000 inhabitants. The subsOil of the city
is completely honeycombed with these pas
sases and large per cent of the inhaoi-
tants work in the mine. The people of
Ballarat practically live over a series OF
yawnirg tunnels, the roofs of which might
be expected to collapse at any moment. but
which nevertheless are held up by pillars
of rock. which were left when the caverls
were constructed.
The entrances to the mines are outside
of the city proper. and on the way to them
one comes upon old, silent subterranean
passages and shafts long since disused and
high piles of barren sand and rubbish lying
around everywhere like irregular dunes;
all of " hich strongly hint of the dead hopes
and wasted fortunes turned into these
valueless workings in the mad days be-
hind the early COS. In fact the country
around Ballarat is in many respects an
almost barren field: yet all of these hills

About the Cube Root.

From the New York Herald.
To find the cube root of any given num-
Der of figures on-hand seems an almost
impossible feat. but yet.it is simple enough
when one knows how to do it-so simple.
indeed. that any bright boy can learn to
do il in a few weeks.
First he must know exactly what cube
is-namely, that IL is the result of multi
plying enc number by itself, and then niuf-
tiplying the product by the original num-
Der. Thus. 3 multiplied by equals 6, and
8 multiplied by 3. the original number, pro-
duces "a. which. consequently, is the cube
OF =. The cube root Of - is the original
number =. and to find the cube root Is the
reverse OF finding the cube. The wouli-be
adept at this art should first study care
fully the following figures:

fxix4-G "a: Sxox5-125. 6xGx6-2l6.
TxIx5-:S43: 6xsxS-5l2; 9x.Bx9-1y)
A close study of these figures shows that
9 multiplied in this manner by itself results
in 8. that multiplied by itself has 2 as a
final figure. that multiplied by itself las
9 as q final figure, that Z multiplied by IT
