necessary to give more than a light

LOWING WITH CANNON.

Near Blair castle stands a high.
rocky crag named Cralglebarns, which
for long time looked grim and bare
In the midst OF beauty. and its owner
thought how much prettler It would
look II only trees. shrubs. etc. could
bo planted In It's hooks and crannies.
Il was considered impossible for any
one to scale It's steep and dangerous
activities, and no other way was
thought OF TO get seed down. One day
Alexander Nasmyth. father OF the cele-
brated engineer, paid a visit TO the
grounds The crag was pointed out to
him. and. after some thought, he hit
upon a scheme. In passing the castle
he noticed two old cannon, He got n
few small tin canisters made to NJ
the bore OF the cannon and filled them
with variety Of tree. shrub and grass
seed. The cannon was loaded In the
usual way. and fired at the rock from
all sides. The little canisters on
striking the rock burst, scattering the
seeds In all directions. Many seeds
were lost, but many more fell among
the lodges or cracks where there was
little moss or earth. They soon
showed signs OF life. and in a few
years graceful trees and pretty climb
ing plants, all sown by gunpowder,
were growing and iourishing in nearly
every recess OF the formerly bare. gray
crag clothing II with verdant beauty.
At the present time the formerly I'M
slightly rock is one OF the chief beau
ties Of the estate and the story OF It's
transformation is always related TO the
visitor, and never fails 10 arouse in
terest. The novel system OF sowing
might well be followed in many parts
OF the country, and doubtless II will
be when the facts are better known
among gardeners. For lesser heights
a catapult would serve as well as a
cannon for throwing the packets OF
seed-London Mail.
