19I&gata's bopthse. Within the era of civlization in America hio one was able to successfully pierce through the fierce and terrible under cur rent at Niagara to the bottom until re cently the government itself thought it ne cessary in behalf of science to undertake the task. All the great scheies Imagined to be strictly scien. 1i1c were p it in operation by bunglers to obtain the depth of water beneath the falls. Bars of railroad iion, pails of stones and all uireasonable bulky and awkward instruments were attached to long lines and cast off from the railway bridge and elsewhere, but positively refused to sink. The very bulk of the instrumen's was sulliclent, no matter what their weight, to give the powerful under-current a way to buoy then up upon the surface or near it. The United States Corps of Engineers, however, with a small lead of only twelve pounds weight attached to a slender rope, or sounding cord, easily obtained the depths from the falls to the lower bridge. As your correspondent assisted i the Iydrographi cal operations the facts may be given as they present themselvep. One day we launched in a small boat not far below the falls and entered oil a m1iost exciting and perilons exploration of the canon. The old guide, long in charge of the minature ferry - situated here, accompanied the party. With great difilculty we approached within a short distance of the American falls, which (11 ted great Jets of water on us and far out into the stream. The roar was so terrible that no voice or human sound, however near we were to one another, could be heard. The leadsman cast the line which paItssed rapidly down and told us 83 feet.. This wiis quite near tle shores. Passing out of the friendly eidy which had assisted Us upl) so near t li falls N e sh< t I apidly down the stream. The next cast of the lead told off 100 feet, deepening to 192 :et at, the incined railway. The average depth to the Swift. Drift, where the river suddenly becomes narrow with a velod ity too great to be measured, wis 153 feet. Just, uideir the lower bridge the whirlpool rapids sel in land so violently are the waters moved thbat they rise like ocean waves to the h elit of twenty feet. At this point your cori elponi dent, at the time of tlie slrvey coan'puted the depth at. 210 feet which is acie *ed as aiproximiately correct. The ter ors of the gorge - low Ithis point ate known to but few. Inieed the foot of man scarcely ever trends this inferial re gion wh4O'e almost pIrl)enldiVIlaIir will Is rise onl each side of the verge of the river from 270 to :0til feet in height. lere Itlie coin tiniial erlnmblin.g of the rocks have fornied a lr'eeimlluS Ipa thway1 illaces on the ive Vr's Sdve; elewhiere onie must cling to crevices inl the rock, to jult ing crags or otherwise to g0 ailong.

"'Eternal vigilance" will be the "prileo" of sue cessfll contention with these tiny foes. Tie tent caterpillar and the canker worm prey on the foliage of apple aml cherry trees.

The only kind of 3tove with which yott can preserve a uniform heat is a gas stove; with it you can simmer a pot for an hour, or boil It at the same rate for twenty minutes, (Uood flour Is not tested by its color. White flour may not be the best. The test of good flour is by the amount of water it absorbs. In cooking a fowl, to ascertain whon it is done, put a skewer into its breast and if the breast is tender the fowl Is done. A few dried or preserved cherries I with stones out, are the very best things possible to garnish sweet dishes. I To beat the whites of eggs quiefkly put In a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs the quicker they will froth. Salt cools and freshens them. In boilling eggs hard, put them in i boiling water ten minutes and then put them in cold water. It will prevent the yolk from coloring black. To make miaccaront tender, put it in cold water and bring it to a boil. It will then be much more tender than if I put in hot water or stewed in milk. The yolk of eggs binds the crust > much better than the whites. Apply it to the edges with a brush. (Old potatoes may he freshened up by plulnging them into cold water before r cooking. i Never put a pudding which Is to be S steatned ilto anything else than a dry I mould. Never wash raising that are to be used In sweet dishes. It will make the pud ding heavy. To clean then wipe oin a dry towel. To brown sugar for sauces or pud ding, put tihe sugar in a perfectly dry sauce pan. If the pan is the least bit wet, the sugar will burn and you will -spoil your sauce pan.
