Sight Sounding.

An ingenious device by which the
depth Of a swift river above a high
fall in Ontario was ascertained is de-
sGribed by Mr.: II: w. Hixon in the
engineering and Mining Journal. It
was too dangerous to make sound
ings from a boat, so. Mr.. Hixon
planted a transit on one bank, and
from 1t carried a strong wire with a
heavy lead weight at the end, to the
opposite shore. The wire was drawn
taught and the weight was gradually
pulled across on the bottom Of the
river. At intervals a sight along
the wire from the transit to the
point where the wire dipped into the
water gave the inclination of the
straight line. The length of the
submerged wire and its angle with
the water being known, 1t was easy
to calculate the depth at the various
points.

There is a cat in a grocery store IN
Columbus avenue whose fad is TO
ride dogs. This cat, medium-sized
male, striped and wise looking, am
bushes himself behind a barrel or
box, watching for a dog. When one
comes along the cat makes a flying
leap and lands on his back. OF
course the dog is greatly alarmed,
and starts off on the dead run, usual
iy yeping as he flies along. The cat
crouches down on the dogs back,
holding on with its claws. He rides
a block or two, then jumps of and
trots back to his store. He has been
riding dogs for more than three
years, and 10 ore knows why he
does 1t. Perhaps il Is the desire Of

SWIMMING DIFFICULT.
Acquired by Man Only by Skill and
Muscular ExertiOn.

Man is not amphibious by nature
Natation is acquired only by skill
and muscular exertion. The lower
animals have much the advantage
over Us in this respect. In the first
place, the brute creation have no fear
Of water, and in the second, their
heads are exceedingly light in COM
parisOn with the rest of their bodies.
The mammalian caput contains little
brains and abounds in sinuses, so
that its relative weight is so incOn-
siderable that an animal can easily
keep its mouth and nose above the
surface and respire freely. In man,
on the contrary, the head which is
full of brains and contains no cavi-
ties, is exceedingly heavy in proper
tion to the rest of the body, and the
great difficulty he experiences in
swimming Is to counteract this spe-
cfic gravity and keep the organs OF
respiration above water. To attain
this is the perfection of swimming;
and when it has been attained man,
though possessed of natural disad-
yantages, Is superior to all animals
except fish In the natant aTt.-New

Snake Den in H. ..ow Tree.

Alexander Huston and his hired
nan while going to work on the Hus-
ton farm, near the Allegheny county
line, saw large black snake on an
oak tree. The next day the hired
man took his pistol along and seeing
the snake again, mounted the tree
and shot it and another which crawl
ed out OF the hollow trunk. Believing
that there might be more snakes in
the old tree trunk, a fire was started
below and in a short time the snakes
crawled out in such large numbers
that the man up the tree descended
IN a hurry. A vigorous fight ensued
and when the contest was over the
men had eighty-f1ve dead snakes
measuring from one and q half to
over nine feet in length.-Greens-

The VOLTS Tooth as Mascot.

A singular revival is taking place
in Paris for wearing the tooth of a
wolf or badger set in gold as a mas
cot. An old superstition connected
the wearing of such ornaments
as provocative of good fortune. The
custom of wearing a thumb ring is
also being resuscitated. and at this
present time a charming young ac-
tress on the English stage is demon
strating the vogue, partly, no doubt,
because it is in keeping with the
period in which she is living In the

fashion Paris Is patronizing.-Lon-

ODD USE FOR BREAD.
Watch Factory Uses Forty 2-Pound
L0aves a Day,

Perhaps the most novel use to
which bread is put may be seen in
the great factories Of the EIgin Ma
tionaI Watch Company at Elgin, Ill,
where more than forty loaves of
fresh bread are required each day
Supt. George Z Hunter Of the watch
factory, is quoted As saying:
There is no secret regarding the
use Of bread in this factory. and
am willing to tell all I can concern
ing 1t. From the earliest times in
the history of watch making it has
been the custom of watchmakers to
reduce fresh bread to the form Of
dough. This is done by the steam
ing and kneading. They then use
this dough for removing oil and
chips that naturally adhere, in the
course Of manufactures, to pieces as
small as a part of a watch. There
are many parts Of a watch that are
so small as 70 be barely visible to the
naked eye. The oil is absorbed by
this dough and the chips stick to it,
and there is no other known sub
stance which can be used as a wiper
without leaving some Of It's particles
attached to the thing wiped. This
accounts for the continued use OF
bread dough in the matchmaking In
dustry. The Elgin National Watch
Case Company uses something over
40 2-pound loaves a day, or about
$4,000 pounds a year.-AmericaR

French Chemical scarescrow.

According to recent experiments
by StaniIas TetTad, q widely known
French agricuIturist, wheat and 9TH
eT cereals can be protected against
the ravages of crows, which are par
ticularly fond Of the grain when its
sprouts are just pushing above the
ground, by treating the seeds before
they are sown with mixture Of coal
tar, petroleum and picnic acid. This
treatment which delays the growth
of the seeed for a day or two, but
causes no damage, imparts an odor
which is insufferable to the crows,
but which disappears after the
sprouts have obtained larger
growth, when they are no longer sub
ject to attack.-London Globe.
