A Oa f?r OalatlM lh? 8m Dtitof
WeaUwr.
Tho subject has at last been taken up
in good earnaat, and it la to a citisen of
Perth, Mr. John Shield*, thai is due
the honor of taking the initiative In a
movement which, il fully oerried out,
must prove of inoaleulable benefit to
our ueafaring population. Five years
?go, SB he stood beside a mill-pond on a
windv day, he oboerred that the waters,
whiott had been considerably ruffled,
suddenly beoame smooth. On exsmi na
tion, he found that this arose from oil
having been accidentally spilled from
some machijery, and instantly forming
such a 01m on the surface of the pond
as to offer no resistance to the wind.
Happily, it at onoe occurred to him
that it iuight be possible to apply oil in
such a systematic manner as to oalm
the entrauce to a harbor in stormy
woatber. Tho idea having once sug
I gested itself, ho never reetod till ho
' hud thought it out and devised means
J of t xecuting it. The plan he hit upon
was that of laying iron and lead pipes
from tho beach right out across tho
harbor to tho open sea, terminating in
I tho deep water '200 feet beyond the bar,
: and then, by means of a force pump on
I tho Bhoro, to pump oil into the tubes
j and eject it at tho bottom of the gea
i outside the harbor, so that as it rose to
i the surface it might bo drivon inward
and prevent tho formation of breakers
on tho b-r. The pipe9 are fitted with
thieo conical valves fixed seventy-fivo
! feet apart at tho sea-end of the pipe.
I Theso aro forood openjiy tho stream of
j oil as it flows out nnfl fhstantly closo
when the pressure is removed. Mr.
Shields fired upon Peterhead, in Aber
deenshire (tho easternmost headland of
Scotland, and consequently a spot ox
posed to tho full forco of every gale
that swoops tho oast ooast, ) as the most
suitablo spot for his tost experiments.
Here, then, ho proceeded to submorgo
1,200 foet of lead and iron piping. A
large barrel containing about a hundred
gallons of oil was plaoed in a shed on
tho beach in connection with tho forco
pump. Toward tho ond of February
last fcomo preliminary experiments were
tried on a 6inall Bcaie, but the amount
i of oil expended was very trifling, and
tho effect woh disappointing. One of
the fishers standing by romarkod that
he could not understand it, as his own
lifo had once boon saved by hanging
pieces of whale's blubber ovorboanl,
and ho was ccrtaiu that tho same means
systematically applied must produce
tho desired cffoct. Ou tho first of Match
wo may soy that tho apparatus was fully
and practically tested for tho first time,
ond with puch success as to leave no
doubt that it must shorlly be a recog
nized necessity in all harbors dangeroui
of access. On tho day in question a
galo was blowing from tho southeast,
accompanied by a heavy sea. Hugo
billows from ten to twenty feet in
height, c Med in white crests as thoy
n eared the hurbor mouth, and broke in
mod surf above the bar. No boat could
have dared to face tlioso breakers, and
any luckless vessel wrecked upon that
rock-bound, inhospitable coast must
hava been abandoned to her fate. No
Letter dav could have been selocted to
test the soothing powor of oil. If any
perceptible difference could bo pro
duced cn thoso raging, tumultuous wa
ters, it was evident that the gaining of
14 'Complete mastery over them became
merely .\ quos fion of how much oil was
to bo expended". In the present instance
ihe big 100-galion cask was filled. The
forcing pump was sot in action, and a
lirgo quauti.y of oil was drivon through
tho pipos, wlionco it was ojeetod at tho
bottom of the Bea, at somo distance
boyond the impassablo barrior of mighty
breakers. Tho jil immediately roso to
tho surface, and formed a thin film on
tho water extending right across tho
barbor^moutli* Straightway the dan
? gerouu^fhito greats disappeared, and,
though tho fitrong tide still swopt in
ward in hugh swelling billows, they
were shorn of tlioir terror, and became
perfectly smooth rollers on which any
veseol or boot might havo ridden into
dock. Owing to tho strength of tho
tide aud tho severity of tho galo the oil
*as swopt bhoreward so rapidly as to
render continuous pumping necossary.
But as long as tho oil supply was kept
up tho ourf was kept down, and there
remained no reasonable doubt in tho
minds of tho spectators that henceforth
the raging of tho wators could be sub
dued at will, and that ships might bo
enabled to make tho port in safety, no
matter how wild tho tompost, ? [Nine

The Lafayette (Iud.) Courier ha?
this carious story : A strange
and wonderful phenomenon has been
brought to our offioe in this
person of little Willie Lester, whose
lather is a well-to-do farmer on the Wea
Plains. Willie is only about ten years
old, unusually bright and intelligent
for his sge, aud has always boon re
markable in his neighborhood for his
wonderful ears. His right one is per
fectly immense, being, we should judge,
as large as a palm-leaf fan, while the
other is no bigger than the ear of an
ordinary -sized wax doll. Until quite
reoontly nothing unusual had ovor been
noticed in his hearing, but lately ho
has developed wonderful powors in that
direotion. With his small ear he can
hear tho faintest buzzing of the small
est bugs ond insects, and can evon de
teot sounds uttered by tho minutest
animalcuko - so small that thoy aro not
uvon visible to the nakod ovo, A fly
running along a window-pano, a cater
pillar crawling across u bheet of paper,
makes sufllcient noiso to attract his at
tention, ovfn when his back is turnod.
Tho Renso of hoaring is??o acuto in this
ear that it is absolutely painful to him,
and ho is compelled to wear a cork in
it at all tirnos. Tho right and largo j
ear is quite the reverse of its little com-'!
panion in both its powers and proper- !
ties. To it those minuto aud near
sounds bo plainly discernible to tho (
other are lost, but distant noisos ore
readily heard. Although rosidiug fif
teen and a quartor miles from any rail
road? Lifayette being tho nearest
point ? yet Willio can distinctly hear
tn? trains and mills blowing thoir whis
tles, and can easily distinguish botween
tho engine bells and tho city bolls.
When the Wabash roandhonso blew up
somo weeks since, Willio felt tho shock
as soverely as though he had been in
the building itsolf. Ho had been unwell
for somo days and was sleeping later
than usual that morning, and when the
explosion occurred ho Bprang from tho
bod with a friglitoned scream, and,
holding his oar with both hands, stood
for some timo trembling in tho middlo
of tho room. On clear days ho has oft
en hoard Sheriff Taylor summoning
witnesses from the court-houso window.
Be distinctly heard tho noise of the
mob at Kokomo on Monday night,
which was a vory clear night. Although
unable to mako out what they wero
doing, vet ho heard tho shouts "Ropo's
down I "Time's tip!" and heard poor
Long eing "Seo That My Grave is
Kept Green," the tuno of which Willie
at onoe recognized, and in a low, sweet
voice sang tho accompaniment, it boing
quite familiar to him. He can hear the
coming of a storm loui; beforo there
aro any signs of it in the air, and even
long bofore the weather bureau gives
notice of its approach. At tho sugges
tion of a no'ghbor, Mr. Lestor bad a
yire-ganze lid with a tin rim made to
fit ovor Willie's ear. It consists of two
thicknef ass of gauze, the outer one be
iug of larger mesh than tho inner oue ;
betweon tho two thero is an intervening
thickness of loose flannel to soften
sounds. Willio wears it continually,
and this with the onrk In the small ear
has the effect of reducing his hearing
to a normal condition, Willio is a hand
some, fair-faced, golden-haired little
man, oxceediogly shy uud timid, and
any notice taken of him seems to l>o
quite painful to tho little fellow.
J lie Art of Ilcnuty in Washington.
The first principlo of beauty, as ptuc

to become beautiful."
The wife of au army officer accom
panied her husband many years ugo to
Ilia post in a diataht frontier town.
Among the acquaintances eiio formod
there was a lady, who, it remarkablo at
all, was noted for being exceedingly
homely, awkward and common-placo.
She had a waist like a barrel, shoulders
pitched forward, a rough, thick skin,
ooarse, black linir, large, bold eyes,
great foot, afid besidos all these physi
cal defeots, eho was droaJ fully demon

After a timo tho fortunes of war retired

family in Washington. In tho mean
while the lover of politics had lifted
tho husband of tho honioly. lady into

not bolieve her eyos, bu great was tho

Boft auburn hair; a oomplexion smooth

darkly-fringed oyolids, with a faint

eyes a marked expression of shyness
and languor. Her mannor was fall of
roposo and strikingly graceful; lior foot
tho perfection of symmetry, in Fronoh
boots; tho hands had tho refinement of
pink nails and tapor fingers, and evon
her voico had ohauged and dropped
into those sweetly modnlatod tones
which pass ourrent for thorough breed
ing in good society. Poor, mystified
i Mrs. Mars looked and wondored, pon
dering on all this, asking lioi self and
others, "How did slio do it? How in
the world did sho accomplish suoh a
metamorphose?'' How? How does tho

Do Fishes Sleep?
Formerly it was the reoeivod opinion
that u fish novor slept, but lately thin
opinion has been changed, in conso
quenco of snoh facta as tho following:
In one division of tho Berlin Aqua
rium woro about a dozen oarp, that ,
commonojd in October toaot onriously. f
F/om time to time tho majority of the
fish, occasionally all of thom, would
aspumo a orooked position and remain
so for bourn, or until they wore di?
turbed. When worms or other food
wore thrown into the water thoy would
spring up to seizo it, and immediately
rosume their old position. Theao fish
woro often very particular in ohoosing
their resting-places. Home would ex
amine carefully with their heads tho
surrounding rooks and slonos; thon
slowly turn themsolvoa ovor on tho
right or left side, and either remain
quiot or swim av?ay to soek some other
placo.
Other fish would 116 on tho gravel,
routing on their heads and taila, in tho
form < f a bow. Ono carp always stood
! on his head, with his body ereot In the
1 water ? a veritable wonder of balanoingi
that showod tho oapabilitios of its fins.
It wan easy to arouse most of tho fish, ,
by moans of food or of a noise; bnt1
somo of thom slept so soundly that it1
?.va? only possiblo to diAnrb tho uvlry
hitting or shaking thom repoatodly.
Tho lidless, always open ero of tho
fish makos it difficult to distinguish ita
sloop from its periods of ordinary roat,
but this last experiment was oonolusivo.
Tho suggestion that this behavior Is
tho result of illness Is answorod by
stating that this habit of sleep was ob
sorvnd nearly overy day for more than
six months, and during all that timo
tbo fish ato regularly, and wero froo
i from any appoaranoo of sioknoss.
A Minister's Happy Thought.
Tho late Itov. I)r. J. B. Wakeloy re
latod to mo, with great gloe, how he
extrioatod himself once from a most
awkward dilemma. Preaching in a
Hudson river town on a warm summer
afternoon to a congregation of farmers
mainly from tho text, "If any man drnw j
back, my soul hath no plonsuro in
him," ho inadvertently observed "My j
hrothron, shooo nover fight." Those
who were awako lookod up at him, nnd
showed, by their interest, that the
minister had nover seen two old rams
trying to butt oach other's brains out. I
Tho dootor discovered hia mistake as |
soon as thoy did, but not seoing his way |
out of it ho repeated tho statement with I
greater ompha<us. Thoso of tho audl?
enon who wero awako nqdgod their
sleeping brethren, who, on opening
their eyos, looked to aee what had hap
Sonod. This greatly embarrassed tho
ootor, and ho waa now sadly puzzled.
Ho ventured with still greater emphasis,
to repeat the statement. "My brethren,
sheep never fight," when labkilv he naw
hia wayont, aftd doubling hie fist,,
atruck it Into the paTni of tho other jjj
hand, adding,* tflth getmttie nnetio/, j ?

The Floating Homes off Bangkok.
Boats are tho universal means of
conveyance and communication, and a
boat thus becomes a necessary adjunot
to erery person's household. To its
dexterous use orcry child is trained.
Hen, women and children are equally
aocastomed. Perhaps tho most oom
mon form is a Btout skill about twenty
five feet long, turniug up very sharply |
and high behind, liko a Venetian gon
dola. It is broad in the beam, and two
thirds of its length is housed over,
leaving n littlo flat deck in front and a
still smaller one behind. Behind ]
stands the husbaud and ecuiIa; in front |
stands the wifo lowing and using a i
boat hook to help thoir way through j
tho crowds Tho front of the Ijpat is \
used for business, passengers or cargo, |
Tho roar third is given up to family '
aud domestic furniture; for, incredible
as it may teem, wo scon see that each
boat is the homo of a family ? father,
mother, girls and boy*>, who are born j
there, livo thoro and dio there. In the
daytime tho children and tho furniture j
aro crowded into a *paco not ovor four I
feet square; at night they can spread
over greater surface. I looked into
thoso homes with attention, and. never
oould enough wonder and udmiro how j
closely ull was packed without seemir.g
to jostle or painfully crowd. Also,
that tho ehildien lived so happily
aud contentedly in :> space no greater
than a large siz-jd bura'oga trunk, it
is probal.y a fact that there tiro many
ten-year-old children in Bangkok river
who novor walked over twenty foet in a
straight lino ? in short, who have never,
been on land. But then, when they
como in proximity to boats whose littlo
inmates they know, they would ? boys
and girls from five to tw> l\*o ? jump
out of thei." boat-house aud dive and
swim u>vay tj vinit and gambol around
together; now free in tho water, now
hanging tol tho boat's Bide or sitting
astride of tho scull oar. And a friend
tolls mo that ho has seen thom in their
visits tuko with them baby, to whoso
shoulders mother has prudently at
tached a light gourd or other light
float, to insure its s.\fety.
In n minor excumon up a eido canal
I found m.jpolf at the city residence of
the Prince Minister, whose name I have
not now time to write out in foil. I
ran my boat all round through his
pleasure grounds, and wondered
whother tho old gentleman considered
that ho was living on laud or in the
river. In one part of his aquatic ely
sium I. saw mignitlcout specimens of
tho Victoria Kcgi.i, whoso leaves, round
liko a platter, were over two yards in
diame'or. Their rim was sharply
turned up in a lo-Jgo an iuch high, aad
on tho raft tl.n* formed were settle.',
quite at home like, a family of frogs.
They, too, ssemed to fall in with the
humors of the count ry. ? JHoohestcr

Chinese Lotteries,
Thore ?h hardly a town on the coast
in which Chinese lotteries do not exist,
either aa a local Affair ov as one of the
agencies of large lotteries of tho kind
in Ban Fraueisco. Tho ticketa are
squaro clips of paper, on which aro
printed oighty letters, th",so letters be
ing the last in this Ohinoao first reader,
or "Gin Qee Clio," as it is called. Those
tickets are for t>alo at all the Chinese
stores, and can bo purchased for any
price from ton cents to two dollars, tho
amount of tho prize drawn depending
upon the price, j aid for tho tioko\
When the ticket i.s bought the purchaser
chooses ten letters upon it, bv marking
them out with a pen, abd upon these
ten his chances depend. Tho drawing
id conducted as follows : Eighty square
flips of paper, each bearing one of the
letters on tlio tickets, aro pasted by one
corner upon a Urgo board used for the
purpose. After being thus pasted and
found to bo correct, they are next put
into a pan and thoroughly mixed. From
pnu they nro transferred to four
porcelain, twenty in each bowl. Four
slips of paper, marked respectively one,
two, throe and four, aro next placed in
the bowl and one drawn out, which in
dicates tho bowl of tickets to bo used
in the drawing. After determining this
the twenty tickets in tho bowl indicated
aro taken out ono by ono and repastcd
upon tho largo board, a caller announc
ing each letter as it is drawn, and the
clerks recording it. Out of tho twenty
lettors drawn, if tho holder is lucky
enough to havo marked off ton upon his
ticket, ho sooures a large prize, ranging
from ono thousand to three thousand
dollars, and even ten thousand dollars,
according to the money invested in the
ticket. The drawings are mado twico
A day, and the dealers of tho game, if
at all fortunate, mako a largo amount of
money from it. Tho chancos a' very
great in favor of tho game, but dom
ovor threo or four spots being won upon
? "ticket, and over sevon is a rarity.
XJndor four spots scored tho tiokots lose,
and ovor this, to as high as oight, tho
prizes are nominal, varying from twen
ity-flyo cents to fifty dollars. This
Bpeoios of gambling is very popular
^mong tho Chinese, and there is hardly
odo but holds tickets for each drawing.
I Mechanical Music.
I Tho Black Forest is famous for theso
jneohanieal organs-orohestrions, as they
Are oalled? and in some Instances they
are brought to great prefeotion. Thero
is a shop close to tho exhibition, bear
ing the namo of Lamy Sohne, fnll of
Olooks and singing-birds ami orches
trions, where you may pasB half an hour
in a fairyland of surprises and all kinds
o' meohanical musio. Ono morning I
iont in with an old lady and gentleman
-?the latter a grave dignitary of tho
(hureh--okJKngland. "A very tirinx
t ing," said the old lady; "all up and
d>wn hill; tho only fault I find with
tie Black Forest. Couldn't they level
it\ my dear?"? to her husband? "or
hfilld viaducts or somothing? Or at tho
viry least, couldn't they organize i ony
chalfies all over tho country? liko those
you know, that wo found so useful at
y?ar ?" "Tnkft a ohair,
m^ l0T(v*Baid tho old gentleman, sym
pathetically, without committing him
self to an opinion. And ho plnecd ono
f>r her, while tho young man in tho
ftiop (whoso jolly, good-natured faco
aid broad grin delighted one to behold)
vonnd up tho orchestrion. Tho old
lidy sat down somowhat heavily from
s)eor exhaustion, and immediately tho
riair struck up tho lively air of "Tho
Vatoh on the itbine," with a decidedly
r^trtial infi aoneo upon its occupant.. I
fbo sprang from her sout ns if it hp.d
ifeen a gridiron, nnd asked her husband
?proaohfnlly if he wasnmusing tiimself
it her expense, and whether her ago
!s not Aufilcinnt to secure her from I
netieal joking. "Dear mo I" cried ho,
amazement, looking at tho offending j
air as though !:?< expected if. to walk '
