Englishmen on Voyage to Australia in Fourteen-Ton Vessel. A dartng trip is to be made by two Brighton (Eng.) men in a craft so small that should the elements during the time she is in mid-channel prove anything but of the best, the chances ; are that she will never again reach i land. The two voune men are Mr. A. L. Napper an J Mr. J. L. Langford, who ptart in their boat, the Brighton, for West Australia during this week. The object of the voyage is to reach the oearl fisheries at Broome, in N. W. Australia, cheaply, with a craft ready for the work there. The adventurous pair propose to travel 16,000 miles in a fourteen-ton boat. Two of the most ingenious devices to be carried aboard for the sake of safety are a dinghy and i & floating archor. both the inventions and patents of Napper himself. The dinghy has been constructed with a flat bottom to enable it to be carried standing flat on the deck, and thereby dispensing witu the cumbersome davits. The floating deep-sea anchor is constructed with a spar 15 feet long, i attached to which is a triangularshaped canvas sail weighted at the bottom with shot. This contrivance i3 made especially for outriding any j storms which may be met with in midj channel, when the water is too deep to ' allow the ordinary anchor to be low! ered. The deep sea anchor is let out i at the stern of the craft, and the action of the water on it while in this position hold6 the boat practically motionless. The route to be taken, starting from Brighton, is through the Bay ! of Biscay and the Atlantic ocean to j Capetown, and then a run of 5,000 i miles without touching land will have | to be made from the Cape to Freman| tie.?Liverpool (Eng.)

A delicious jelly, which is of high repute with English people and families of English descent in this country, is made of barberries. The barberry Is a rather seedy fruit for preserves, but it is sometimes put up. as currants are, with a pound of raisins to every five pounds of itself, and a pound of sugar to a pound of the whole. The barberry should be picked late, aftei it has been touched with the frost, and the fruit is of a deep, dark crimson. The demand for the fruit is so limited that it seldom sells for more than ten eents a quart, so it must be classed among our inexpensive preserving fruit. , <* r '> . ? ?
