Long Branch Beach.

Col. James Sherwood, the proprietor
of Long Branch resort in Waikiki, says
that in IS years he has not noticed
such a disappearance of sand from the
seas edge as during the past month.
At Long Branch where it was neces-
sary some weeks ago to sweep sand
from the door before closing up at
night, the water is now under the door.
A bath house and a new building that
were several yards from the shore line
now have water under them even at
low tide. Colonel Sherwood is not
alarmed, however. believing that beach
will make" again. The Long Branch
owner contemplates considerably i'm
proving his place in the event of abili-
ty to secure a license for the sale of
light liquors. Otherwise he will make
no changes.

A Polite Driver.

There were two rather incensed Ia
dies on Fort street early yesterday aft
ernoon. They had gotten into one of
the tram cars and, upon arrival on
Fort street, decided to get off. Just at
about this time, a girl with a wheel
hailed the car. 1t seems that her ma
chine was out of order and she told
the driver so. That individual fastened
his brake and proceeded to fix" the
wheel on the back platform, the opera
ton requiring nearly five minutes. In
the meantime, the ladies left the car
and got their dresses covered with mud
by the wheel of the bicycle which stood
out from the platform.

What we should do when we were men
And past the age of playing.

Said he would cut or Tommy's arm
When he became a doctor.
And Harry Stone would drive dray;
Dick Brown would be parson;

And emulate Kit Carson
And one would toll and onewould teach
And one would go a-cruising
On board some stately ship. Thus each

II is a matter of general knowledge
that the mountain parrot of New Yea
land. the kea. has acquired the very
destructive habit of piercing the backs
of sheep with its sharp beak in order
to feed on the kidney fat of the very
unfortunate animals attacked. II was
Mt one time believed that the bird had
learned this habit from procuring fat.
" particles from the skins of sheep
which had been slaughtered; but now
a more likely solution Of the problem
has been suggested by a correspondent
of the Zoologist. This gentleman. who
writes from Melbourne. tells us that in
the billy districts of the middle island
Of New Zealand there grows in great
quantity a white lichen which bears a
strong resemblance to sleeps wool.
Beneath this lichen are to be found
small white fatty substances, which
some suppose to be the seeds Of the
plant. and Others describe as maggots
which infest 81: but. whatever they
be. they form a favorite food Of the
kea. Il is suggested that the bird. mis-
led by the resemblance Of the sleeps
rool. digs down into the flesh in the
hope Of finding this white substance
Il which II is so fond. and that in this
way the new habit has been originated.
In the first place. probably the birds
are misled by installing dead sheep for
masses Of the iichen under which they
had been accustomed to frd their IA
vorife food.-Chambers Journal.

A Curious Experiment,

In Vienna q condemned criminal
vas kept in complete darkness for
several hours previous to his execu-
ton as a preliminary to an experiment
that was to be tried upon him for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the retina of the human eye is of
sufficient constituencies to hold the
image of the object to which it had
last been exposed for any length of
time. He was instructed to fix his
gaze intently on a building facing the
place of execution, on which a very
bright light fell. When the black
cap was pulled over his head, the eye
was prevented from accepting any
fresh,image or picture; the execution
followedimmediately and the examina-
ton held on the eyes within g few
minutes thereafter resulted in finding
the building as an outlined object on
the retina. The details, however,
were wanting, and the picture faded
rapidly.

The TeaSle.

No machine has yet taken the place
of natures teasle in finishing various
grace of WOODEN cloths. In this coun-
try they have grown only in Onon-
daga County, in New York State,
though a few have been raised in Ore
gon. Teasles require a soil OF clay and
lime in certain proportions, so that
their tips shall be sharper than steel.
Such soil is found in Marcellus and
S~kaneateles, where they have been a
staple production for fifty years.
Teasles are also grown in England and
France. The American product is
sitter than the English, softer than
the French. When the foreign crop
fails the American is drawn On. This
year the European crop is small, the

kNEADs AND FORMS A LOAF.
A Bread-Maklng Machine That Does the
Work of Eight Men.

A machine, about as high and not
so broad as a man, is doing the work
of eight men at q bakery in Indianapo-
lis. Half of its height is taken up by
its legs, SO that the working part OF
the machine is compact.
At the top is q trap door, opening
downward. The dough falls on this
door and passes through four sets OF
two rollers each placed at different
distances apart. When the dough
leaves the last pair it is one-eighth Of
al inch thick aud has been thoroughly
kneaded. It falls on q piece of cam
vas attached to two rollers. The roll
lers come together, forming q pocket
with the canvas, which forms the
dough loaf-shape, and when the roll
~lers separate again the dough is
thrown out upon q table. The oper-
ator. however, usually grasps the
dough as the rollers open, and places
it in the pans On Ae table ready for
the oven.
Running at eaf speed, the machine
e3ill knead and mold thirty-four
loaS . minute. The dough is fed
into the machine-b by a chair carrier, on
which tin cups as large as a saucer,
but deeper, are fixed every two or
three inches. Each cup holds enough
dough for one loaf OF bread. Just as
the cup reaches the trap door it turns
over q pulley to so back to the dough

The Alpine Goodnight.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys of Switzerland the AL
pine horn has another use besides
that of sounding the far-famed "Ranz
DIES Vaches," or COW song; and this is
Of g very solemn and impressive ma
ture.
When the sun has set in the valley,
and the snowy SUBMITS Of the noun
tains igleam with golden light, the
herdsman who dwells on the highest
habitable spot takes his horn and pro-
nounces clearly and loudly through
it, as through a speaking trumpet,
"Praise the Lord God!" AS soon as
the sound is heard by the neighboring
herdsmen they issue from their huts,
take their Alpine horns and repeat
the same words.
This frequently lasts o quarter of
an hour, and the call resounds from
all the mountains and rocky cliffs
around. When silence again reigns
the herdsmen kneel and pray with
uncovered heads. Meantime it has
become quite dark. "Good night"
at last calls the highest herdsman
through his horn. The words re-
sound from all the mountains, the
horns of the herdsmen and the cliffs
and the m%ountaineers then retire to
their MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

A Candle 12O Feet High.

One hundred and twenty feet high
a white candle once lowered. It's di.
ameter was twenty feet. That means
that it was as wide as the ordinary
city house and that it shot about four
times as high as the usual dwelling.
It gave a light that illuminated
everything for miles around. The
light was, Of course, an electric search
light. The candle was q shaft of steel
and of staff. staff is the material that
made the Worlds Fair a "white city"
The candle was erected ct an expo
sition in Stockholm as a sort of tri-
butte to the candle using habit of the
people Of Sweden. Gas and electricity
have not weaned them from candles.
