Ix Muaoatsx.—At a recent meeting of

"Moved by Mr. Halle, seconded by Mr.

moval by death of our late associate and
eb-laborer in the'educational work of the

a man well fitted by education and tact
for the duties of Inspector of Public
Schools, and who bad the welfare of the
teachers at heart. Being naturally genial
and benevolent as well as wall as faith-
ful in the discharge of duty, we found
him to be an amiable and efficient co-
worker ; and while we bow with sub-
mission to divine behests, we feel that
we have lost one in whose ability and in
whose judgment we reposed our highest
confidence. We oleo desire to oonvey to

Ten thousand people gathered at the

The buffoon was a hot air one and was
held over a furaaoe by ropes in the hands

epeotatore were horrified to see Milton
Redin, one of the leading young men of
the county, hanging to it rope dangling
from the balloon. Redin must have lost
his bead, for he olutohed desperately at
the rope and in a moment was over 100
feet in the air. The balloon rose rapidly
and Charles could be seen attempting go
draw Redin up. For ten minutes Redin
clung to the small line as the balloon
was whirled southward. While at the
height of a thousand feet Rodin'e hold
loosened and he was seen to fall. His
body shot downward as from a cannon
and struck the earth halt a mile sway.
When found the clothes were torn off,
every bone was broken and tate body was

The experiments in the cultivation of

whioh are in some respects confirmatory
of somewhat sielilar experiments not long
ago reported from Russia. The first and
most noticeable effect of the treatment is
an enormously increased rate of growth.
The plants which are lighted seem to
work day and night, and to "ran very
much to leaf. Vegetables shoot up very
quickly, and peas iu a few weeks are two
or three times as tall aa those planted at
the same time in daylight. In the case
of seede and fruit of any hind, however,
the results are entirely different, and the
plants which had grown slowly and by
daylight were ahead. It was observed
that in ovary instance the reproductive
powers of the plant were strongly affect-
ed, being sacrificed to mere foliage and
rapidity of increase in general size.
