With the aisistano. of Mitnael, Colgate
waa quickly and aeenrely bound, much to
bin horror and snrpriae.
“Can yon carry him, Hannel ?” asked
Thornton, aa he pat oat the light and
raiaad the lodge oorer.
“Tee; bat yon moat watch me.”
“CertAlnly.”
Manual busted himself for a short time
preparing aome atraps, with which he
faatened the prisoner to his back, and
then on hands and knees be orawled out,
followed by the Captain.
“Keep eloae behind me, Captain, with
yonr men, and do not rise till I give the
rigHil.” V
“All right, Uannel, keep on.”
Ont through the darkneea, in the direc
tion where Valdez and his friends were
waiting, the part; orawled cautiously,
■topping now and then, by mutual con
sent, to aioertain if the breaking of the
dry twigs under their feet was attracting
attention. They bad gone over half the
distanee unobserved, when anddenly an
Indian nprose in their path and demanded
in a load voice,
“Who oomes this wsy ?"
The response wss a stunning blow from
one of the sailors, which served to qniet
the Indian; bnt it ronsed the oamp, for it
warned the moment the one warrior
tonohed the earth a hnndred sprang up
around him.
“Biae and fun, Captain !”
Manuel, suiting the notion to the word,
and apparently nnmindfni of the' burden
which he bore, started off at a rapid run
in the direotion where Valdez was oon-
cealed. In leas time than it takas to write
it the Indian camp was a scene of the
wildest commotion, and the warrion like
demons dashed down on the escaping
party.
Thornton, whose limbs were still stiff
and sore from his recent bonds, could not
keep np with the fleet-footed Manuel, nor
did that burdened individual atop to seo
the result to bis friend., but kept on till
breathless, he threw his load on the
ground, and explained the situation to
Valdez.
“I hear them fighting! Now or never,
my men f Forward!”
The Spaniards answered with a cheer,
aid charged to the reseue of the hard
pressed Thornton. W bile this was going
on on the hill, the man in the earth-work
hear the village opened a rattling fire; so
that the distracted Kosuo could not iin-
Sgine which was the point of most danger.
The Indians gave way before the im-
petsons onset, and Thornton, who was
staggering from the blow of a war club,
heard bis name called, and the next mo
ment he was in the arms of his friend.
Valdez, now thoroughly aroused, would
have kept on, bnt Thornton, knowing ihe.
odds be would have to contend with, ad
viced him to fall back to bis former posi
tion, which be did very reluctantly.
“We can take the gag ont of this fel
low's month now,' I think," said. Thorn,
ton, as they stood beside the prostrate pi
rate.
“Yet. Yelling will do him no good now;
bnt take my advice about it—make abort
work and little trouble of him. Let a
half dosen of yonr men load their inns-
kete and tie done with him. The bluck
flend hae forfeited his life ten thousand
times;”
“True, Captain; bat if we can carry
him through, try bim fairly, and punish
him according to law, all the better.”
“I w—py— so, Thornton ; but you cold
blooded Englishmen can be more deliber
ate for the eake of a judicial ceremony
than we of bolter blood. If men forfeit
their lives, I believe the first honest man
they have wronged should take the for
feit.”
“Yae; bnt if we can taka him through,
all the better," I have a reason for it,"
(‘Very well,Thornton ; I agree to what
ever yon any,”
Valdez - theiMjflejailefi the plan he had
adoptfed with the^aid of Kennel, and con-
ataded :' “From what Manual baa learned,
I am satisfied your sister and this Indian
girl are eomi place in the lake ■ no donbt
at this much dreedfd gacred Island. If
my council weighs with you, I should say
I there with all oat Iowa at onoe.
We have at our disposal every cnnoo be
longing to the Mikasaukees.”
“Your judgment is sound and your ad
vice clear. I have nothing to gain by
Btaying to fight the Indiana, and if Julia
were only in my keeping, I could return
happy at once.”
Captain Valdez had seen Julia's childish
portrait, and the young Spaniard, with a
knightly gallantry peonliar to Lis nation
and that age, longed to be the chniupion
who would free the beautiful gill, and in
hia dreams he saw himself blessed with
her love, and holding her hand as they
stood before an altar and a white-rolied
priest.
The preliminaries were soon arranged,
and the fleet of oanoea filled-with the boI-
diers and sailors, while the oanocs that
oonld not be used were cautiously out
adrift.
'I will keep in the advance, and if she
be on the Sacred Isle, you must land to
ascertain; I cannot.”
“Why not, Manuel?” asked Thornton.
“I would die. There was never a Mika-
saukeo tonohed those shores and lived.”'
“Very well, Manuel. We like yon too
much to endanger your life, and respect
yonr faith too uracil to ask you to violate
it. Onide us to the Sacred Isle, and we
will attend to the rest.”
At a signal given by Thornton the fleet
of canoes moved, and Manuel, guided l>y
the stars, led the way.
Colgate lay in the bottom of the great
war oanoe, unbound, but too weak and
disheartened to escape, and too oowardly
to carry into exeention what he often
thought of—that is, self-destruotion
many years ago, our young men found a
canoe on tlm shore, and in it lay ' a white
mau, nearly naked, suffering with wounds,
and ns bo himself supposed dying.”
“I remember that,” whispered the white
man, in a okoking voice.
“I do not recall it to elioit a repetition
of the gratitude that has ever stirred
your heart. You were the strangor that
fate threw on our shoreB. We did not
hold a oounoil to deoide what should te
done; but at once took you to our homes
and our hearts, and nursed you baek to
life. The wisdom yon brought front the
great unknown wurld was lo us so great a
blessing that onr people believed you a
messenger from the better world. We never
questioned you, nor asked a pledge, but
that you should make our people your
people nud our Clod yonr God. One day,
ub you nnd I sailed .'on the lake, you told
me the story of your life. Can you se-
oall it now ?”
“Yes, it is before me an ever oxisting
reality. Day by day it is in my thoughts,
night utter night in my dreams.”
“I would not pain you by reoalling it,
but it is ueceBsary to what I have to say,"
said Arlztah, in a soothing tone, then he
' went on, “You told me about your beau
tiful homo in the land you called Wales,
of your young wife and her death, whioh
came not till she had left you two chil
dren, a hoy and a girl. I know not tba
feeling one has for children of the flesh,
but if it be like tbs love I entertain for
my spiritual children, they mnst have
been neur to your heart. You sailed for
a far off land, master of a groat
oanoe, like a floating nation, and your
The Mikasaukees saw the oanoea moving! I daughter accompanied yoii. You crussed
away, bnt they were powerless to resist,
and Btill more at a loss to divine the ob
ject of their foes. The pirates remaining
with them did not regret what they con
sidered their osptain’s death ; but, with
out a leader, they had neither courage nor
object, and so stood bewildered among the
Indians.
While Thornton and hiB friends are
moving toward the Saored Island, and
Kosno and his Mikasaukees are wonder
ing at the remarkable series of events
transpiring about them, let us take a
glance at our friend Costillo, the faithful
first officer of the Julia.
After Captain Thornton left, Costillo set
himself to work to repair the damage the
Julia bad sustained in the fight with the
Heroules. This was soarcely done, when
Senor Valdez, the oommandant of Tam
pa, sent for him. .
“I have just heard from the Hercules,
Lieutenant Costillo.’’
“Indeed! What of her, Senor Com
mandants ?”
“She is now in Charlotte Harbor, nearly
denuded of her crew. My informant,
who is a most intelligent half breod scout,
says that Morton is in command of the
ship, and that he does not think there aro
forty men aboard fit for duty.”
“Where is Colgate ?”
“Gone to take Okeechopee, with all (ho
rest of his men.”
“Would it be safe for me to attack the
Hercules ?”
“I think bo; slid I can snpplcmout
.your crew by fifty inuro men, if neces
sary.”
Costillo held down his head. Were he
chief officer, bo would not hesitate a mo
ment ; but being only second in com
mand, he feared to risk what might ho a
failure, and so told Senor Valdez.
“Failure! There can he none; and to
show yon how confident I am of success,
I will accompany you. What say you ?”
“Tis a bnrgainexolaimed Costillo,
shaking heartily the proffered hand; then
asking:
“When will yon be ready ?”
“In au hour, if the Julia can be got
ready for uoa.”
“She is ready now. I will go on board
tQ prepare.”
Costillo hastened on board, and the mo
ment it became known the Julia was to
attack the Hercules, the men sprang to
their work with cheers.
Provisions and ammunition were sent
on board, and before the hour was up the
commandantc came ou board with his com
pany. aiul iho men were assigned their
posts.
“To have the Hercules here when they
return—why, it would be an achievement
most grand !” exclaimed the old soldier,
as the Julia sailed out the bay.
“Yes; and if we do not succeed, it will
not be our fault. The Senorita is brave
to remain behind.”
“Yes,” said the commandant; she is in
command of the fort.”
. r*„ CHAPTER XXV.
TUB OLD PBIEHTT STORY.
Arlztah, as he sat down beside the
white mao, reached out his hand, and
taking np the golden locket, which the old
man had dropped on his knee, he opened
the lids and looked at the beautiful girl
face within. The priest’s baud trembled,
and an ashy hue overspread his bronzed
face. : < m
“What, affects ray friend? He seems
not well," said the. White man.
• “Yes, perfectly well now; but I have
beeu startled.by this face. I have seen it
in the flesh. ”
“Seen it in the flesh!” exclaimed the
white man.
“Yea; bat be calm. I promised to
tell yon a story. Will yon listen—nor
importune me to-day more, when I tell
you I have finished ?’*
“You have ever been to wise and good
that it would ill become me to ask for
aught you did no} deem it proper to tell."
“Then listen.” The old Priest laid his
hand on the white man’s knee and con
tinued, “Yon know the story of my peo
ple, bow many generations ago they fled
from the for off land of the Azteo and
■•tiled on this island ?”
“Yoo, I know all that.”
“And yon know that for long genera
tions onr island was sealed to the world,
till only the prieata knew a world existed
beyond the waters that wash the shores of
onr boantifnl home. We deairod this, for
being happy among ourselves, wo had no
daal— to look boyond. Ono day, not
tko grout world of waters, aud at length
foil iu with a bad man—a sea robber—
whose force, compared with yours, was as
two to one ; but you fought him, and he
conquered. Some of your men who sur
vived joined the sea robbers, aud others
preferred to follow their commander, who
was condemed to death. Ah ! I remem
ber how my heart bled at the thought of
man’s cruelty when you toUl*meof how
tiny bound you hau«l and foot, and
placed you over the Rkip’HsiJe on tbe end
of a pi.ink, Dil l hurlfd their miariks of
death at you as you fell iulo (he sea. But
the God who dwei’s iu the kuj—tho God
of tho white mau oud red—watched over
you. Tbe missiles of death did uo harm,
and you rose to tho surface, bound though
you were, and looking to tho sun you bo-
catuo as safe on the surface of tho great
wat« rs as a child in its mother’s arms.
The ship stiled ou, aud soon your bouud
feet struck a reef that gave support, and
you cluug there till tho sun—tho home of
onr God—was soUiug. Then came Indians
from the laud iu their cuioes, aud they
found you and severed your cords, and
carried you to the laud. Is not this as
you told it?”
“Yes, Arlztah, even as it was.”
“The Indians rescued you from one
death to doom you to auother. They kept
you for a few days, and their wise men
decided you should die, but again the
Great Father saw your distress and you
escaped. You passed through tbe jungles
uud came lo the shores of a great lake.
Here you found a cauoe aud entered it,
aud you drifted, starving uud wounded,
till your reason left you, aud in that cauoe
my people found you ou tho shores of our
Sacred Island.”
“True, Arlztah.”
“You have often spoken to me about
your daughter. She fell iuto the bauds
of tho robbors of tbe Hoa
“Sbo did. ’ ,
Tbo w hite man dropped bis bond upon
his bunds, nnd through his furrowed
cheeks the crystal tears fell as he spoke,
aud his voico was ehokod with sobs.
“She fell iuto the h mds of the robbors,
but she remained not there. Listen to
me, my frioud. What I tell you, is os if
I spoke in u d' oam.”
The white man straightened up, and
looked into th9 face of his friend. “I am
listening, Arlztah. Speak, that my heart
can be eased.”
“I dreamt,” said tho old priest, “that
your daughter was pent by tho chief of
the robbers of tho sea to be cared for by
a tribe of Indians known as.tbe Mikasau
kees till Colgate, the head man, should
come to claim her as bis wife ; And in my
dreams I saw this girl growing up to
beautiful womanhood, loved and honored
for her purity, yet ever dreading tho ad
vent of the murderer of her father—the
man who cluimed her as the right of a
husband. In my dreams—for they must
be dreams—I saw her escapiug from this
tribe when tho time came for Colgate to
claim her. I saw her floeiug with an In
dian girl, her friend, and seeking our isle
for safety; arid us jou first came, so I
saw her drifting to our home. I
dreamt, in this dream of which I speak,
that last night a cunoe came to our island
containing two women—the one bright
aud beautiful, and white os the blossoms
of the magnolia; the other complexioned
like the sunset—dark, ruddy, aud black-
eyed as when the sun sets. And my young
men found them iu a canoe, as they found
you long years ago.”
“Ych, yes, Arlztah; bnt this was a
dream.”
“We will cull it a dream ! I saw in the
dream the face of this girl, more mature
and more beautiful even than this picture
shows it.”
Tbe white man openod the looket and
glanced at the picture, and drew a long
sigh as he did so.
“Would that your dream were a reali
ty,” he exclaimed ns he let tho golden
locket drop from his clasp.
“8oppo»iug it were real; supposing
that my dream were a reality, and what I
tell you as a dream were a faot, what
then ?’’
“Yon mean what woujd I think if my
daughter were hero in tho flesh ?”
“Yea, that is what I mean.”
“Then, Arlztah, I would say let me see
her ouce again ! Let me hold her in my
arms and clasp her to my heart; and
pressing my lips to her cheek, let me call
her daughter and die. 1 could do bo,
knowing the would be safe in yonr
bands.”
The white man looked np earnestly aud
glanced about him, as if his } nycro won d
bring his daughter to his side.
Listen ! What I said was not a
dream—twas real. This morning the
oauoe came to our shores. It contained
the white girl'ami tho Indian. My sons
brought them to tho heart of the island,
and I hoard their story. Tho ono is your
daughter—the other is the daughter cf
Kosuo, an Iiuiiau chief. Will you remain
on the island if she be henceforth with
you
“Yes, yes! I can die her* in bliss if
Julia be by my side.”
When the white tuan ceased speakiug,
tho priest waved his hand, aud soon Julia,
followed by her Indian friend, entered
the plaza, aud the white man, glanoiug at
them, fell prostrate to the e irth.

Going by tbo Thermometer.
Some people are so Killy as to suppose
that the uir of a room should be kept at a
certain temperature. For iustance, we
hang up a thermometer iu tho living
room, Aud when a guest begins to fidget
in his corner furthest from the “register,”
mopping his forehead, rubbing bis eyes,
talking of going, niul may be calls it
“warmtusido tho house this evening,” we
can shut him up directly by referring to
the thermometer—“only 70 deg., that’s
summer heat you know.” But if we will
think of it, we shall see that a thermome
ter is uo measure of the vivifying quality
of the air. Suppose wo do keep our rooms
at “summer heat” to a nicety? That
warmth is better for tbe Heeds of typhus
than it is for us, if our apartments aro
not regnlurly purified by sunlight and
blusts of wind. A house cauuot bo heated
by a furnace with economy of health,
however it may bo of fuel, uuless you let
tho wind in often, at doors and windows,
blowing Out every crevice. We were never
made to exist iu a perfectly regular toui-
peruture, and when wo have shut our
selves in it, und with nil our arts have got
oontrol of a little oubo of God’s earth and
air—providiug we thumb dampers and
registeis at the nick of time, mid have n
dolieate nostril for carbonic acid—how
uufit are we to stand things as they re
main in the bulauce of the world ? Ah
scieutiflo experiments, those fiddling trials
by thermometer are all very well. They
will servo a good turn, if to convince us
at lust that there is uo possibility of so-
questering auy real good to ourselves.
Wo may crawl into sung quartern over
night, but our best life consists in being
reudy to take the brunt of the world us it
happens to turn up in the moruing.

A ShAkspeiirinn Somnambulist.
A somnambulist, having been for boiuo
days deep in Shukspoaro, cauio down
stairs tho other night at half-past eleven
(an hour after he had retired) iu extreme
dishabille, his eyes “iu a lino freuzy roll
ing,” and brandishing iu bis hand a boot
jack, while the following explosion burst
from bis excited lips: “Is this it dagger
that I boo before me? No, it is a rut
without a tail, one who has lovod not
wisely, but too well, in childishness and
mere oblivion. My father—mothiuks I
see my father—a motley fool, a miserable
Varlet, with spectacles ou nose ami pouch
on side, creeping like snail unwillingly to
school, and soekiug the bubble reputation
even at the cauuou’s mouth. Como ou,
Macduff! Now is the winter of our dis

What! wouldsfc thpu slander her and tor

fill all thy boues with aches, make thee

very witching time of night. How many

term to walk the n : ght, Nans teeth, huh

to this victim of somuambulism.

Fultz Wheat.—Mr. John A. Parker, of
Tappahannock, Va, says ho finds that
sowing oue-half bushel of this wheat to
the aero is amply sufficient. It branches
better than any other kind he ban yet
seen, and nt Iho time of writing (January
18) ahowa much better than any fields of
other kinds on which ono and a half bush
els per acre were aown. “Tho little par
cel sent by the Department three years
ago has caused a revolution in wheat rais
ing here.’’
Wafer Gingerbread.— Half a pound of
flour, half a pound of the courses! brown
sugar, quarter of a pound of butter, one
doshcrt spoonful of allspice, two dessert
spoonfuls of ground ginger, the peel of
half a lemon grated, and the whole of the
juice. Mix all these ingredients together,
adding about half a pound of treacle, so
as to make a paste sufficiently thin to
spread upon sheet tins; beat it well, but
ter the tins, aud spread the paste thinly
over them. Bake it in rather a slow oven,
and watch it till it is done. Withdraw
the tins, cut it in squares with a knife the
usual size of water biscuitp, aud roll each
round.tho fingers as it is raised from the
tin.
nr MRS. 8. V. CHANDLER.
A friend relates that in “tho olden
times” there was nn Indian doctor named
Jacob, tall aud stately, that used to couie
to her house, aud was thoroduriug tho to
tal eclipse of the suu iu 18111. She asked
him “if ho had ever seen the like be
fore?” “Yes, when ho was a little boy,
liviug iu Florida, it wus ro dark tho little
birds wefit to roost iu the trees.” “Did
he know what caused it ?” “Yes, tho sun
aud moon golug so,” and he put up his
bauds aud made one pass in frout of thti
other.
On another oooaBion lie was thero when
she had a cough, aud said, “Me wish I
know you siek ; me bring you pretty lit
tle flowers, make tea, sweat, and you get
well right away.” “Can you cure big
siek, Jacob?" “Yea. Last week ino at
ono country house ; stage stop full of peo
ple; one white mnu in much trouble;
face so sad ; thinks his little boy won’t
live till morning ; fever; skin burn band;
hot. I ask him 'he want my inedicino.’
He say ‘yes.’ I go*fit woods, find pretty
little flower, make ten, give little boy, ho
go to sleep. Next morning little boy dot
dead; go away with white mau, woll.
White man so glad; no more much trou
ble. Jacob glad too; heart beat light.”
On another occasion lie promised to
come, and did not. When sho saw him
agaiu she asked, “Jacob, why didu’fc you
come?” “Mo no come, Miss Put soy; mo
big drunk.”
Wo liuvo recently interviewed oue of
Judge Colquitt’s old servants on Indian
matters. Says she lived near the Oconee,
whon tho Oconoo was tho boundary !.ue,
which no whito was to cross to settle, and
that sho has run from the Indians so oftcu
it has nearly killed her; it made her heart
hurt ro. She was about seven or eight
years old when the luilian war, that be
gan in 1812, ended, and her youug mas
ter, Mr. Dine, was killed fighting in the
Iudian Territory.
Chilly McIntosh and his two sisters went
to school in Monticello with her Miss
Nancy, and General McIntosh used to
ride about the country on borsebuok, fol
lowed by bis two carriages, nn Indiau wife
in each carriage, and was a very likely
man.
When Jim Henry was takeu prisoner
Judge Colquitt said he should not bo hung,
because he was the bravest man aud the
best warrior in the State of Georgia ; that
he came one night to surprise Columbus,
and hid two hundred warriors on tho Ala
barna Hide of the river. He disguised
himself iu woman's clothes, and, with n
pitcher in liis hand, wont into tho Ogle
thorpe to sec and hear what was going on.
He hoard the women aud children crying
so, and the men trj ing to quiet thorn—
telliug them not to be seared of Jim
Heffry; that they would protect them
that tho fears and terrors of tho women
and children touched his heart, made him
feel bad, and so ho went away, and took
his two hundred warriors and went and
burnt ltoauoke. Said lie: “Judge, if it
had not been for tho crying of the women
nnd children, your town had been slayed
that night.”
Jim Henry was such a terror tho womon
used to quiet their babies by telliug them
“Jim Henry was coining.”
He told her‘master that ho hud buile<
great quantities of silver aud silverware
in twelve places, which he had marked so
le could get them again. Her niHste
asked if he w air not going to tell any ono
whore tho silver was. lie said “uo, not
tiuless he came back to get it himself.'
'That the Indians liked a dog bettor
than they did a nigger, and looked stern
when they met h nigger in the street;
that they said God made tho red mnu
first, then tho whito man, next tho dog,
and last ho mudo tho nigger.
N. B.—While they looked upon tho ne
gro as au inferior, it did not provont tlioir
owning slaves, being kind musters, und
sometimes even having negro wivos.
8ho said Faddy Carr had the prettiest
darkeys sho ever saw in her life. They
were nearly all half breeds, black nnd In
dian, and they bad the prettiest smooth
skins, and the glossiest, prettiest hair, she
evor saw ; hair straight like the Indian’s,
and tho l Tightest black eyes. 'They all
smiled, and looked so happy.
A lady of Columbus had brought two
beautiful half breod girls from Milledge-
ville when small children, and had raised
thorn till they wore grown. 8ho was very
anxious to keep them, and it broke their
hearts to go. 8ays aunt Violet: “I did
lovo them girls; they wero so nice and
pretty, nnd used to come to Miss Nancy’s
often ; but when the law went forth that
all must go, and i.one oonld stay, they
came to toll Miss Nunc, good byo. They
sat on their two fi-e Indian ponies as
straight as arrows, droHsei mighty nice,
with two or three skirts all braided and
scolloped with different kinds of bruids.
Miss Nanny asked them to sing for her
before they went. One of them took out
a large jews-harp, as large as her band,
and played mighty sweet, and tho other
sang pretty just like a bird—only mourn
ful like a dove. 8ko a mg a great many
verses about goiug away, and the end of
ull of ’em was—
It was such acts of violence and wrong
to tho poor Indian that brought upon our
beautiful Southern luml—our beloved
Dixie—that dire punishment of Heaven,
that has so appalled the hcarta of all na-
tions and peoples.
Wlion the Indian did love the white,
the uffeotion wua like that of DAmon to
Pythias, showing what nn element of
pleasure und strength they might have
boon made if we had treated them fairly,
nnd nevor learned them tho use of the
fire-wator, which was the Iudian’s great
est enemy.

—Skin diseases are now aucoesafully
treated* by electricity alone.
Fill glass tubes with fine dry Baud,
close at both ends, and they will bend
easily after heating.
—A rapid drying ink is made by tritu
rating carmine with some solution of
water-glass iu a porcelain mortar, and di
luting with water-glass solution until it
flows readily.
A scientific expedition will, according
to the Kt. Petersburg correspondent of
the Timea, shortly start for the Amou Da
ria. The Grand Duke Nieholia Coustan-
tinovitch will aooompuny it.
—The Italian section of the Vienna Ex
hibition c nituiued a table top composed
of portions of human muscles, fat, sinews
and glands—nil petrified into a single
block by Mazzini's process, and polished
until its surface resembled marble.
—According to the Alaska Herald,
seven vessels were ongaged throughout tho
summer of lK7fi in the capture of cod
fish on the coast of AlaskA, with a total
yield of 58.-1,(HK) fish, or an average of
83,285 per vcssol.
—The French Academy of Sciences has
oluctod Mr. 8. Newcomb, of Washington,
nud Mr. Huggins, of London, correspond
ents to fill tho places left vacant in the
section of astronomy by tbe deAth of M.
Petit, of Toulouse, aud M. Volz, of Mar

To Remove Grease Spots.—Place
thick piece of good blotting paper under
neath the stain and nuother piece above
it, after thoroughly saturating the spot
with benzine. The hot flat iron is now
applied to the upper piece of paper aud
pressed on it for some time. The result
is tho complete uheorption of tho grease
by tho blotting paper.
To Protect Drawings.—Drawings in
chalk or pencil, such as are easily injured,
if rightly handled, can bo protected by
giving thorn a cout of collodion. Collo
dion, it is well known, is a solution of
gun cotton in a mixture of alcohol and
ether The collodion m»»y he mixed with
pni ufi'me, stuarino, castor oil, eto. Pencil
Hkctches of thiH treatment are rendered
clearer, and may therefoio bo copioduiore
easily.
Giant Powder.—About 000,000 pounds
of giant powder wore made on the Pacific
•Slope in 1878, and all sold iu California
and tho adjacent Territories. The Coin-
stook Mine alone u.ed 100,000 pounds.
No. 1 soils for 75 cents, %nd No. 2 for 50
cents per pound. Tbe sales show an in
crease of 30 per cent, over those of 1872.
There are several fuse factories in Cali-
forniu, ono of which made 7,000 000 feet,
or over 1,800 < dies, iu 1873.
—A now elootrio whistle for locomotives
is now coming iuto use iu Franco. It is
intended to take tho place of sw itch sig
nals ; opening t^e switch causes a copper
plate, a short distuuce oil iu the roadway,
to become ' electrified. A metallic brush
on the engine transfers the current to tbe
whistle, which is opened, and remains
open until steam is shut off by the en
gineer. If the engineer is neglecting his
duty, the fact is at once made kuowa by
tho continuous sound of tho whistle.
Electrical Phenomena in Plants.—
Dr. Burdon Sanderson has communicated
norno very remarkable investigations to
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science on iho irritability uml
contraction of the well known plant, the
Venus Flytrap. By a remarkable series
of experiments, made with tho aid of 8ir
William Thompson's galvanometer, be has
shown that in certain organs of this and
other sensitive plauts thero exists a cor
respondence of function between them
aud tho motor organs of animals to n re-
markable degree. He especially investi
gated the question ns to whether these
contractile actions are Accompanied by the
same electrical changes as those that oc
cur in the contraction of tho muscles of
animals.
—Iu view of thegroat economical value
of the fur seals of Alaska, nnd of tbe iro-
t >ortauce of a thorough knowledge of their
mbits and moveim nts, with reference to
ih i command of the market of tbo world,
it is proposed by the United States Treas
ury Department lo send some oue to tbe
North Pacific Ocean for the purpose of
obtaining materials for. An exhaustive re-
f iurt on the subject. It will be remem-
ierod that Huso seals, almost to tho num
ber of millions, v.sit tho fit. George and
Ht. Paul Inlands, of tho Pribylov group,
overy summer season for the purpose of
hriuging forth their youug, aud that ou
this occasion a company chartered by tbe
United States is allowed to cax>tnrcKM),000
annually.
Whut becomes of these seals after they
leave the islands is entirely unknown, al
though congregated there in such num
bers for several months. A few are taken
iu the spring nnd fall as they puns along
the coast of Bntish Columbia aud Wash
ington Territory, but whether these are
related to tho Pribylov army or not is un
certain. *Tho same species ii found to a
limited extent on the Atlantic side of tbe
oceau, but uo voiy extensive captures arc
made.
Should this commis ion be appointed,
it is to be hoped that some of these prob
lems nny be solved, and that wo may not
remain longer iu ignorance of the general
natural history of so important au animal,
which furnishes a revenue to tho United
States of about $800,000 a year, while a
profit almost of millions is made by the
company which has charge of the interest.
—We regret to loaru that the salmon
eggs whi li were shipped from London in
Janunry last to Australia,and which reached
their destination in tho course of five or
six months, almost ull perished before be
ing planted iu their now quarters, os out
of 120,000 eggs only about C50 young fry
wero placed in the water.
