T. J. Ma all, who died at his homo in Roadie , an, on Saturday evening. was one of t e most noted inventors in the Unit- ed States, and had procured mcre patents, it is said, than any oth.r known man. He began his career asa bobbin boy, and snfl'cr- ed many privations in his early life. When a young man he made a model of the first cylinder printing machine ever produced, and from it has grown not only the present industry of wall» aper printing, but of coho co printing as we l. lie discovered the vul- canization of rubber, and was one of the lar est inventors of rubber goods and al- tie es, and has taken out over 9.00 patents in this country and over 70 in England. Among his other inventions were revolvers, guns and automatic batteries and revolving cannons, cannon shells, whose edges were sharpened like a chisel, so that they would bore throu h the armor of ships; acoii'oo hulling mac tine, which he introduced into Brazil ; printing presses, self-acting draw bridges ior railroads, and at the time of his death was at work on an electric cablc road and a pneumatic elevated railroad, which he intended to put in operation in Boston and Washington. A It is not an improbable thing that bic cl for ladies will be an accomplished act before many days, as a Washin ton cycle~ making firm has lately complete a bicycle and tandem bicycle, especially built with a view to meet demands of lady riders. The ladies’ bicycle consists of a 30-inch rear-driv~ ing wheel and a 24-inch front~steering wheel connected by a Ushaped frame with ample space between the seat and hand-bar to allow freedom to the shirts for graceful mounting and dismouuting. The seat is stationed di- mtly over the rent wheel, with the pedals immediately beneath, so that when seated the lady stands in anabsolute vertical position over the pedals. The frame to which the pedals are attached is low, near the ground, enables the machine to be worked with per. test ease and without awkwardness or dis- arran ement of skirts. The machine is geared to a 64-inch wheel if desired, or any other r that may be ordered. The tan- dem b cycle is one 32-inch driving and one 94 inch front steerin wheel, with a connect- ing frame drop ing ow to the ground and running forwa entirely beneath the feet of the front rider, thus having no gearing or frame of any kind in front of the forward rider, the handle-bars extending from the rear around to the side of the forward rider. Bath riders sit directly over the rear wheel and drive it by two sets of pedals and end- less chains. The steering and balancing is entirely under the control of the rear rider, snaking it unnecessary that the front one shall know anything about cycling. S-ve-‘ ral ladies have tried it and pronounce it a great success.

Hanover, the increasin weakness of the Kaiser and the great gri he has shown at his grandson's death make people tremble at the thought of the possible effect on him of his son’s death. Sitting alone in his palace, without a near blood relation now in his kingdom, with the Empress tottering on the brink of the grave, weighed down, too, by a dread of the atom which must bleak over Prussia after his death, and with fiowe s from his randson’s still unsodden grave as a rest for is eyes when they tire of poring over the documentarv proof that Russia postpones her attack only in deference to his age, the wonder is that he still lives: that the long suspense regarding the Crown Prince has not already crushed him. ‘ THE “’15“ TO SEE THE KAISER.

A loud crow from the decoy was soon answered by one from a cock some way off. Our bird on hearing it stood more 11 right and seemed to listen fora few sccon s before respond- ing, which he did loudly and defiantly. Again the unseen jungle cock crowed; It Was evidently approaching the decoy, whose excitement was manifest. He tugged at the cord, flipping his wings and calling angrily as he tried to free his leg. As the stranger ‘ drew near the interchange. of crows became less vigcro is, and at last he alighted on the ground With a flutter outside the ring of noeses which ware almost invisible from our ambush. With rufiled feathers and out- stretched head he manmuvred round the decoy, fiwhich stood impatiently awaiting his attack. With a shrill cry he came on, straight at the foe, thirsting for battle. Alas for his hopes l A noose tightened around his leg, and bending double with the strain the sprispy bamboo converts his charge into an ignominious sprawl and whips him back a foot with outspread wings. Pincky little cha , he is up again, and with a shake of his rmly-ent led leg makes another charge at the excl decoy with the same result. The boy beside me, who has been watching the proceedings with o en~ mouthed interest, does not seem in is ur-‘ ry to template the capture, but after a poke 1 or two from my stick springs up and seises the snared cock just as he succumbs to his fourth rush.

Resembiing a large bantam in shape, with bold, upright carriage, splendidly-varied plumage, and long spurs, he looks a game cock all over. A determin- ed fighter, he does not know when he is beaten, and I have seen a bird too exhaust- ed to use his spurs seize his opponent by the hackle and clin to it with the tenacity of a bulldog.

Thus preserved, it euflicea to immerse the meat in water before using it. Although this treatment costs a little more than preservation by salt, .account must be taken of the final result and of the loss prevented, which ofl'sets the difference in cost between the two preservative agents. Vge think that navigators might profit by t is. It resultsfrom a special report made to the French Minister of Agriculture that sugar is an excellent agent for preserving meat, and possesse some advantages over salt. In fact, salt absorbs a portion of the nut- ritive substances and of the flavor of meat. When an analysis is made of a ;solution of the salt dissolved by water contained in meat, we find albumlncid bodies, extrac- tive substances, potassa, and phosphoric acid. Salt deprives meat of these substanc~ es so much the more readily in proportion as it enters the tissues more deeply or acts for a longer time. It then results that the meat, when taken from the saline solution, has lost nutritive elements of genuine im- portance.

Finally, not to mention various other employments for eggs in the arts, they may, of course, al- most without trouble on the farmer’s part, be converted into fowls, which in any shape are profitable to the seller and welcome to the buyer. lsven egg shells are valuable, for alopath and homospath alike agree in re- lgarding them as the purest of carbonate of ime.

One thin , I think, is that my wife and I are always guessing with them when we have a littie time, and it does really seem that flowers appreciate petting. We have callus, ooleuses, fuchsias, geraniums of high and low degrees, lantanas, petunias, begonins, even to a big thrifty rex. Nearly every one of them is vigorous and hearty. We try to keep our house from getting too warm for our own health, and the flowers are not subjected to great extremes, for we keep tires day and night and the temperature does not very much. I think most houses are he I: too warm for the health of flowers, and I Requently go into houses that are so warm that the perspiration starts from every ore, and very frequently these houses, us know, are not kept warmed through the night.

I placed a thermometer among the flowers on the window shelves, an then hung it with a hanging basket about seven feet from the floor and twa feet from the ceiling, and found that the hanging basket was in a temperature over ten degrees high- er than the other flowers, and nearer the ceiling it was warmer yet. 0! course. under these circumstances, the earth in the hanging basket would dry out sooner than that in the flower pots. Again, in a good hanging basket there are more leaves to cont tly exhale moisture than there are in a dozen flower pots, and this would further exhaust the moisture in the soil.“ We .water“ a _banging ___ba_sket_: PLOIICUE'I‘IJBAL.

Tl c Air. MILLER PURVIS. Va'che Callie. There begin the Gervais Rapids, three or four miles long ; at their foot the river enters a smooth, quiet stretch of fifteen miles to the Grand Remonsâ€"the most furious cascade and the most turbulent eddy of the river : and then, after a few more miles of falls and cascades, the Seguena ends its rapid career where it meets the t do near Cnicoutimi. With the exception of a few clearings, the forest still eowrs the abrupt hills crowding upon the river. The Grand Discharge is a beautiful region; the stream is filled with an archipelago of small islands, some black bare rocks, others tree-crowned or decked with rich mosses ; it has all the virgin secln- i sinn and quiet of a lake, enclosed by a shore ‘ of bold picturesque bastiens and walls of rock, surmouhted bv stately ba‘s‘ams that rise like sentinels above the bitches, poplars, cedars, and nooks full of tender green rass. But this quietness is full of life; the is ands divide the river into a labyrinth of streams; the water runs silently and swiftly in many opposite directionsâ€"down, across, even up the general (0 irse'of the river; one is piqued, surprised, at this onqvmtry and shyness. And farther down it leaps away in the furi- ous rapids of lie Muline. The Little Dis- charge is so rapid that it destroys logs in it; falls and cascades ;the government therefore built an aqueduct, “ the Slide," for running the timber over these dangerous places. After fishing a few days for the active wan~ noniche~said to be the landlocked salmonâ€" and exploring the waters of these twin Dis- charges, I jo ned the men driving legs at the Vaohe Callie, and began my acquaintance with the voyageun. The river is probably the deepest stream in the world ; excepting in a few laces the general depth is from 60) to 900 eet; and the bottom of the Saguenay at its mouth is 1600 feet below the bottom of the St. Law- } rence. Thus a low point of rock at the shore 1 or an island is really the top of a great hill ‘springing up steeply from the bottom, and } many of the cliffs are not half out of water. 1 As the spring tides rise about eighteen feet, 1 the currents of the river are violent and ec- ‘ centric ; in some places the ebb stream runs from four to six miles an hour; the eddies falonq the shores are like those on a rapid; and the undercurrents sometimes lay hold of a vessel and turn her about or hold her still in spite of a tow~boat. Before the use of tow boats, a vessel left helpless by a calm sometimes drifted against the rocks, lodged on a ledge, and when the tide fell capsiz ed in deep water. As anchorage is Very rarely found, large iron rings were let into the rocks, and vessels even now sometimes tie up to the cliffs and await a fair wind. The tide for some unexplain- ed reason, advances with extraordinary rapidity in the Saguenay; thus, notwith- standing the fact that the ebb current very rarely ceases to flow out of the [river, yet high tide arrives at Chiooutimi only forty- five minutes later than at Tadousaoâ€"sevenâ€" by miles. On the St. Lawrence the tide ad~ vances in the same time only from Tadou- sac to Murray Bayâ€"about thirty-five miles. The source of the Sigueuay, Lake St. John, seems like a Northern sea The pale twi- light lasts far into the nightâ€"until the aurora borealis hangs its mystic veil across the sky. The beaches a mile or more wide in summer, the sharp fiwaves raised by a wind on this very shallow basin, the scream- ing gnll all make you look for a tide and for white winged ships. But only a bark canoe now and then comes along from one of the thirteen rivers descending by man ialls and cascades from the forest-cover mountains ; and the pinched-up farms scat- tered along the shores add to the arctic sentiment, felt even on a summer’s day. The Seguenay comes into being as lusty twins, the Little and the Grand Discharge â€"deep narrow channels worn in the rock. They run on separately for some miles through rapids and pools, and finally come together; at" the loot of _Alma Island, at the â€"a decrease of 1-38 per cent. As comâ€" pared with the average of the preceding ten years, the total decrease last year was 621,- 000 acres. Wheat was crown on 2,317,324 acres in Great Britain last year, this being an in- crease of 1.4 per cent. as compared with 1886, but a decline of 6 6 per cent. as com- pared with 1885. Barley was grown on 2,085,156 acres, this being the smallest re turn ever made, and 7-0 per cent. less than 1886. Oats were sown on 3,087,989 acres, or 0.2 per cent. over the area of the previous year. It is curious to note that, while bar- ley was sown on the smallest area on record, oats were sown (n the largest, file reason being that the straw oi the latter crop is greatly used for stock~feed in winter.

Touno, March 6.â€"The details of a re- markable instance of supposed death, actual burial, and resuscitation, after bein dug up to serve the ends of science on the d cting table, were made known here the other day. Charles Martindale died suddenly in this city live or six years ages: a result of a stroke of apoplexy which came upon him during a wrestling match with a companion. He was buried with the usual forms. Last night he appeeard in the flesh at the home of his parents, in the First ward, and had the fol- lowing story to tell of his experience. He knew that his parents were weeping over him, and afterward he was conscious that he was being laid out. Still he was unable to let any one know that he was alive. The most horrible sensation came over him when the coffin was lowered in the grave, and as the clods fell upon the lid he lost even what little mind he had, and everything was a blank. When next consciousness came to him he was seated tetween two men, who were riding in a light wagon. Although his eyes felt so heavy and swollen that he could not see, he heard enough to convince him that he “has in the city, but the conversation of the two men was what attracted his at- tention especially. “1 tell you," said one, in low tones, “ we’ll give old Prof a bigger scare than he hashad inmanyaday. [hooked a good suit of clothes to-day from the house, and when we get this still" fixed up he'll be stunning." “ Its might heavy." answered the other, as he pushe the body over towards Us companion. “ Good subject," said N o. l in a whisper, and then Charles began to realize that ho had leen stolen out of the coifin for a medical college. The thought was by no means cheerful, but try as he would, Charles could not get out of his semi~ unconscious state. Rather the news unset- tled him, and he again lost all consciousness. When he knew anything again he was standing bolt upri ht in a low, square, dim- ly lighted room. file could feel something on every side of him holding him up. He thought he was in a dissecting room, and realized that whatever was done must be done then or never. Necessity is a creator, and the gravity of his position seemed toin- fuso new blood into his veins. Suddenly he felt the throbbing of his heart, and then the sense of touch s‘cemed to come back to him. He could feel the warmth from the stove, while sharp pains darted through his whole body. 1'he sense of smell came next, and he almost fainted as the odors from a dozen medical componan passed into his nostrils.
