Sixty-two years ago, on the Echoya-

Horsley and in mile or two of Mr.

"A Prehistoric Needle Factory.

Much interest has been awakened in
England by the discovery of prehis-
toric lake village near Glastonbury.
The dwellings were placed on mounds
of clay raised above the level Of the
water. The framework OF primitive
loom was found under one mound, and
the number of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in another
mound led the explorers to think that
it may have been the site of an ancient
needle factory. Very few human bones
have been discovered, butamong the in
teresting finds is blue glass bead, with
a waving dark line running around it..
One Of the mounds contains 800 tons of
clay, all of which must have been dug
from the surrounding hills and. carried

BURNING BRICK WITH OIL.
Much Cheaper Than Wood CT Coal
and Ersier to Eandle.

ana EsSser to l40nNle.
Experiments have been made recent
ly in burning brick with fuel oil instead
of wood or coal, and theresults are said
TO be economical. Fuel oil is product
left from the process Of refining pc
troleuln, and it has already found a
use for steam making and in furnaces.
The experiment of using it for brick
burning was tried in a New York state
brick yard The oil was fed to burr rs
under the arches of brick from q pipe
which ran all around the brick stack,
and it was fed into the burners by the
use of forced draught, which also en-
abled the operators to drive the heat
wherever it was needed. The supply
OF oil wos regulated by valves.
1t is asserted that the cost of burn
ing the stack of bricks was greatly re-
dueed by the use of the new fuel. The
same stack would have required the
attendance of 12 men during every "a
hours, while with the fuel oil only two
men were needed, the kiln was COM
pletely burned in six days instead of the
usual seven or eight days, and the fuel
cost but 3S cents for each 1000 bricks,
where, at five dollars cord for the
wood, that fuel would have cost 80
cents a thousand, and coal 70 cents.
The entire control which the men had
over the flame of the new fuel also en-
abled them to burn the stack more
evenly than is usually done.-N. Y. Sun.

nura.fon Of Human Life.

That the human being was intended
for greater length of life than is usual
ly attained in our artificial existence
is probable from the fact that he does
not reach his full and complete develop
ment until his twenty fifth year. The
life of most of the low animals is reck-
oned to be about five times their ma
turity in natural condition, and. al
though disturbing causes interfere with
human life in the present day, yet with
in certain limits man is subject to the
same laws as every other type OF eX-
istence in either the animal or the vege-
table kingdom.-St. Louis Republic.

VALUE, OF THE MAPLE TREE.
A sou.cc Of Great Profit to the Cana

di1ns.
There are more than sentimental rea
sons why the maple tree shouldlbe held
in regard by Canadians. AS source
Of commercial profit the value of this
treei is not sufficiently appreciated. Ac-
cording to the CENSUS of 1891, the an
nual production of maple sugar in On
tario amountsto 5,6G5,7o6 pounds, which
means, at average market prices, al
most S50O,COO. This industry is capa-
BILE of greater developments, and the
merchants Of the country should be in
terested in encouraging farmers TO
take itmp more extensively. Ihe sugar
bush at the Michigan Agricultural col
lege yields an annual return of 12 per
cent, valuing the woodland at $50 an
acre. A Simcoe county farmer esti-
mates that the yield Of ten acres Of
maple trees when the sap is converted
into sirup and sugar, gives net return
CT about $40 per acre. In addition,
there is to be considered the annual
growth cf wood suitable for fuel and
farm uses, which would amount to five
cords each year. In what industry can
the farmer obtain greater returns with
the expendit ture OF an equal amount
of labor and capital? The bulk of the
maple sugar produced in Canada is
consumed here. We have net mentioned
the usefulness of the wood of this tree
for cabinet-making purposes or for in
terror decoration. But people in. other
countries admire it and value it, if we
do not. Perhaps we are so far familiar
with it that we have ceased to considc:
its worth in this aspect. Still, this Is
another of the directions in which the
maple is of value.-Toronto Monetary

MUSIC AMONG THE NEGROES.
In Some Instance 1t Is of High
Order.


Order.
One of the chief features of every
negro gathering of social character
is the singing. A musical people they
undoubtedly are. Not few have eN-
hibited high degree of talent in this
respect; as, for example, Blind Tom,
whose performances on the piano have
delighted so many cultured audiences.
The darky fiddler, once so prominent
feature of social gatherings, is still
SOUS ght after in some communities.
The popularity of so-called Jubilee
singers and negro minstrels seems to
increase with time. Many OF the most
popular songs in this country, such as
"OId Kentucky Home" THE Fatal
Wedding" ard ''Listen to the Mocking
Bird" were composed by negroes.
For the origin of most OF their songs
we must go back to the days of slavery.
Just as the laboring classes of England
during the seventeenth century found
expression for their struggles and suf-
ferings in. the popular ballads of the
time, so the American slave gave vent
to his Affections and heartaches insong.
He sang of his griefs-and they were
many--of hardships and oppression, OF
loss of home, of separation from friends
and relatives. In these songs one can
not fail to perceive a certain p,aintive
melody that seems to breathe forth
centuries of patient suffering Bat the
songs of the negro were rotall dictated
by the tragic muse. Even in slavery
there were bright, sun-kissed openings
in the clouds of sorrow that darkened
his life; and there is no better evi
dence of the natural cheerfulress and
gaiety of his character than the comic
ard festive songs with which he was
won't to celebrate these interspaces in
his grief.-W. 7. Hewetson, in ChaU-
tauquar.
