Key to the NIedlterranenn.

The fortress Gibraltar is in many
ways the most remarkable place of its
kind in the world. The height of the
rock is over 400 feet and this stu
pendous precipice is pierced by miles
of galleries in the solid stone port
holes for cannon placed at frequent in
tervals. The rock is absolutely i'm
pregnable to the shot of the enemy,
and, by means of the great elevation,
a plunging fire can be directed from
an enormous height on a hostile feet.
A garrison of from 5000 to 10, 900 men
is constantly maintained, with provis-
ions and ammunition for six-months'
siege. In 1779 the celebrated siege
lasted three years, the fortress being
successfully defended by 1000 Eng
lish, while being attacked by an army
of over 40, 900 men; 1000 pieces of ar
tillery, forty-seven sail, ton great float
ing batteries and large number of
small boats composed the attacking
force. For months over 6000 shells
were thrown into the tower every day.

Motive Power of the Fntnre.

Electricity as n motive power on
long distance roads is likely to be in
troduced, according to the reports,
much sooner than has been anticipat-
ed. The successful experiments of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford road, recently referred to, have
demonstrated the practicability of the
third rail system. The adoption of
that system by the Manhattan Elevated
system in New York City gave fresh
impetus to the movement, and now it
is reported that the managers of sew
eral other important railroads running
into New York City, among them the
Erie, the Pennsylvania and the Long
Island railroads, are all preparing tc
introduce the new system upon their
roads. The Long Island directors, it
ject, believing that in very short
time the public would see the intro
duction of the third rail system, or
something equally as good, over the
entire western half of the island The
Pennsylvania, it is well known, has
been experimenting with electricity on
one or more of its branch roads for
some time past, aud the Erie proposes
to equip some of its branch roads with
electricity as soon as possible There
seems to be no end to the possibilities
of electricity, and the prediction that
it would be the great motive power of
the future seems to be near its realiza.

COMMON SENSE.

OF all the gifts this side Of heaven
That ever were TO mortals given,
The best to have. the worst TO miss
The truest, sweetest source OF bliss
The one rail left of Eden's fence
Stands the pure charm OF common sense.
To earn our right to daily bread"
To not regret when time is fed,
To wisely speak and act and think,
To keep life's boat from ruins brink,
To balance every hours expense
We need the aid OF common sense.
Sometimes, no doubt, we need to view,
The lightning bolts some genius threw;
But now we need, well mixed and stirred,
With silent thought or spoken word,-
sort OF human fools defense
The wholesome aid Of common sense
Where mighty minds their power In
wrought;
But how to guard the priceless wealth
OF peace and love, Of youthful health,
And how to keep our own few pence,
Is taught alone by common senses
We pray for faith, and light, and peace
For sins remove, and loves increase.
For strength to meet the tempter's power
For dying race, for dying hour
But now, right In the present tense,
Give us, o Lordl good common sense.
To keep from useless jar and strife,
And bless the changing path Of life
To make each fountain purer still,
To take from loss its fatal chill
And bring thy own sweet recompense,
We bow to thee, blest common sense.

Caterpillars are doing great damage
to trees and shrubs in some parts of
western New York. The entomolo-
gists of Cornell University say that
they are Matched from eggs that were
deposited on the trees last July, and
that the eggs were covered with q sort
Of varnish to protect them from the
snow and rain. They are called "tent
caterpillars," aud after Matching out
they weave for themselves n kind of
tent. After attaining their growth
they form cocoons, and about the first
of July develop into moths.

volition, souls proceed into heaven
into hell. These facts have always
suggested to man the sublime creed
that the world is not the product OF
manifold power, but Of one will, OF
one mind; and that one mind is every

wavelet of the pool, active; and what
ever opposes that will is everywhere
balked and bafiied because things are
made so and not otherwise. .7-R. w.
Emerson.
