The Balancing of Trees.

A very interesting suggestion concern
the utility to tree of the irregular ar
rangement of its branches is made by a
correspondent Of Nature. Watching a
large plane-tree during a gale, he OBJ
served that while one great limb sway
ed in one direction, another swayed the
opposite way, and although all the
branches were plunging and bending
before the blast, they did not move in
unison, or all at once in the same direc-
ton. But for the popularity in the mo-
ton Of the branches, he thinks, the tree
could not have escaped uprooting; and
he suggests that this kind of balancing
serves in general to protect large trees,
like oaks and beeches, which have
their branches unsymmetrically placed
from being overturned by high winds.

The Bay of Fundy's Tides.

Extraordinary stories are sometimes
told of the immense tides in the Bay of
Fundy. The scientific facts In regard
to them have recently been published
by the Canadian Geological Survey.
The bay is about 145 miles long, and
gradually narrows, and becomes shall
lower, as it penetrates the land. The
upper part divides into two main
branches, and several small side bays
exist. The highest tides at the mouth
Of the main bay reach eighteen feet.
Going up the bay they increase In
height. At Digby Neck they attain p
feet, at st. John 81 feet, at Petitcodiac
River 46 feet. and at Noel River In
Cobequid Bay 90 feet, the maximum
Some branch bays are left empty al

Overhead Weather.

The experiments with kites carrying
meteorological instruments, which have
been sent to an elevation Of more than
mile from Blue Hill, near Boston,
have made known some interesting
facts about the state of the weather at
that height above the ground. Mr.. H.
H. Clayton, of the Blue Hill Observa-
tory, says that mile up in the air the
temperature is usually from Is to 20
degrees Fahrenheit colder than at the
earth's surface, and there is virtually
no daily change in temperature, the
nights being as warm as the days. The
only changes are due to the passage of
warm and cold waves. During fair
weather at this height the days are very
damp and the nights extremely dry
The average velocity of the wind is -four
times as great as at the ground, and
hurricanes of 100 miles an hour are moi
uncommon" 1t also appears that q
warm wave, as a rule, sets In first aloft

Birds strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. II. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color Of
the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At recent meeting Of
the American Ornithologists' Union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground, like a
potato, is very conspicuous when placed
a few inches above the soil and viewed
from little distance. But when the
under side is painted white, and gradu-
ally shaded into the color of the upper
part, the object disappears by blending
with the ground; the whlteness beneath
counteracts the effect of the shadow of
the body.

An OUTSIDE POCKET.

kangaroo wears an outside pocket in
his oyeraIls. 1t is a sort OF apartment ar

whole family, but this is really suggestive
as to the use of outside pockets in the
oyeralls of working men, who in machine
shops and factories are subjected to sudden
hurts and severe bruises. II bottle Of St.
Jacobs Oil we're stored away in some ofthese
outside pockets, handy and ready for use

For the worst bruises il is known TO be the

in the process of curing, the discoloration

certain fat lady of his acquaintance.
Her corpulence had so grown upon her
that she resolved to consult physician

The doctor drew up careful dietary

boiled beef, and few other things Of
the same lean SORT and In month re-
turn and report the result to the doctor.
At the end of the time the lady came,
and was SO stout that she could hardly

He Was the First Presidential candidass
to Employ . Press Agent.

General Butter originated the en-
ployment and coined the term Of press
agent at political headquarters, . re-
marked a gentleman VINO has given
many years to the consideration Of &C.
tive politics During his campaign for
the presidency ON the labor ticket he
noticed that the representatives of
the newspapers gave bat little atten-

He decided that this should not contin-

Butler spoke to him Of the neglect Of

Bailey, and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers - we call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else.
1.-THE idea was adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one Of
his press agents for couple of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
jor Hugh Coyle, who resides in this city

the first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and played it for all twas worth.
and ran the campaign ON regular circus
principles He had man three or -four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or where the club
was an insignificant affair
1.-THE clubs were organized ON the
principles and in the same way that

for theatrical or circus representations
that is, hired for the time they were
occupied in making the parade. The
uniforms, banners, flags, drums. trans
parencies and other paraphernalia Of pc
litical clubs were owned by Genera

rnl1eta Defiected by Electricitr.

At a recent rifle meeting in Switzer-
land 1t was discovered, according to a
Geneva Journals report, that the steel
iacketed bullets Of the marksmen were
swerved from their course by the infiu.
ence of telegraph and telephone wires
running alongside the range. Expert
ments were then made at Thun by plac-
ing four steel cables parallel with the
range, and about 40 yards distant from
1t, and sending a current of 5000 volts
through them. The effect, 1t is said,
was to turn the bullets SO far from
their course that the deviation amount

Il Is reported that an English bee
keeper has successfully experimental
with bees as carriers Of messages, and
he thinks that, in some respects, they
are superior to pigeons for the purpose.
The message, photographed in micro
scopic characters, is fastened between
the insects wings. 1t is the habit Of the
bee to rise In the air, and then ny
straight home. Being invisible. except
when close at hand, it is suggested that
such a bearer of dispatches in wal
would be quite safe from the bullets Of
the enemy.
