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

i ders them hard to digest For health's
sake put them in warm water for an
hour before cooking.
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

in the street with several other fash
lonable ladies, she net a country cler
gyman of eminene and keei wit, but
ungainly In appearance and rough In
attire. Putting her glass to- tle eye,
she watched hkii very intently.
The clergytInti was quIte equal to

"Whatl Is it possible," lie replied
"that you do not know me?"
"Indeed, I do not. Pir?"
".Nei tier do I you,'' Said the minis
