The new Invention is a eingulehly original coutriv- anoe or enabling trains to run, by meaue of water power, at a speed hitherto un- dreamed of.

The carriagee had no wheelie beteg Isupnerted At the content by blocks of iron of e size somewhat larger then a brick, which reeted ueen A double line of irou girders. In the middle of the line at regular intervals jetted out irregelarly shaped eil- lers, the use of which was not apparent. Havingtaken our seats, and the signal being given we glided along very gently for the armee de. few yards, when suddenly we gathered speed ; two or three tweet were felt and we were flying on at a pace of an oral - nary train, but As smoothly as a boat on a river, There wee a olieleing noise on the mile, bat this, I was axe ured, was due to a defect in the construction of the elides, and would be remedied. The abeenoe ef auy Vibration, baking, or " tail motion" was wonderful. A slight+ jerk there es at regal= intervals • but then, again, I was told:that it was dile merely to the shortness of thehourse and the inability to get up a proper path. In a hydraulic+ train travelling at fall epeed, that is to seer at the rate of of 140 to 200 kilometres, or 87 to 124 miles an hour. There would be almost no oonseimeness of motion. The journey down the length of the Esplanade only oectipied a few Boman Upon our safe return Mr. Filter, Chair- man of the company which owns the illocu- tion, gave a fall account of it. The sliding railway was invented in 1868 by en engineer named Girard, who was killed in the Franoo- German war and it hire been improved to ite present slate be one of his assistant en- gineers, M. Barre. As has already been mentioned, the hydraulic earriagee have no wheela, these being replaced by hollow slides fitting upon a flat and wide rail, and grooved on the inner surface. When it is desired to set the carriage in motion wsaer 18 forred into the slide or skate of the carriage from a reservoir by compressed air, and seeking to escalate it epreads over the under surfeit, of the slide, which it raises for about a mailis -thickness above the rail. The elides thus resting, not on the rails, but on a film of water, are en. a perfectly mobile condition ; in facie, the pressure of the forefinger is sufficient to displace a carriage thus support- ed. The propelling force is 1:applied by pillars which stand at regular intervals on the line between the rails. Running under- neath every carriage is an iron rack, about -six inches wide, -gated with pe.ddlea. Now as the foremost carriage patties in front of the pillar a tap on the latter is open- ed automatically, and a stream of water at high pressure is directed on the paddles. 'This drives the train on, and by the time the lent earth:tyre hes gone past the tap (which then closer) th9 foremost one ia in front of the next -beg, the water's action thus being continuous. The force developed is alines° incredible. There is some splashing on the rails at tho start ; but this diminishes the faster the train goes. To stop the train the small stream of water that feeds the slides is turned off, and, the latter mamba.; in contact with the mils, the resulting fraction stops the carriage instantaneously. A water train running at over 100 miles an hour could, I was told, be pulled up within thirty yards, could olitnb up gradients of six- teen melees in the yard, descend them with equal safety, and run on curves of forty-four • yards radius. This system would seem pecu- liarly adapted for elevated railways in cities, being light, noiseless, smooth, without smoke, fait, and thorongly under command. The danger of ratming off the rails is reduced to a minimum, the centre of gravity of the carriages being scarcely more than a couple of feetfrom the rails. The cost: of a metropolitan :system would only be a third ok one on the old plan'while in the open country its cost would be cioniewhat higher three the ordinary retilvvity; but M. J3erre tells me the expense would be in France an aver- age of £8,000 a mile. Where no natural 'water supply is cavellable, a propelling machine every twelve miles or so would be euffi :dent to keep trains going at full speed. The consmnption of coal per passenger would be mac - tenth only of the usual quantity. The importance of this may be realized by vonsidering the statement that the Paris - Jevons Company alone has an annual coal Ind n tut° millions sterling. Ntvertheless, twould be rash to predict the eeneral intro- duction of the water system on railways. One oliteetiou for instetree, that occurs to me 'le its apparent unenitability for goods traffic. . Persil, the manager of the "Chemins de Per bolivesit will all but do away -with the locomotive engine. With respect to England, he believes the disadvantage of the present slow method of crossing the Channel will become so apparent that all oppositim to the tunnel will vanish.

After epace beteveen the leavee so as to look put. ward, There was but one place where he could see out, and that was slightly beneath the foliage and next to the ground. He lowered his body carefully to take a glance and just as his eyes reached a level with the opeeing he liseerned an animal a few rode beyond him, and, at once reeogniz ed it as the one %lithe traoke he had natio - ed in the creek bottom. It appeared to be TLAYING, WITU 80ZIETIIIN4, and as he brought his gun to his shoelace te fire, his ouriositythused him to hesitate, and with i hie weapon n readinese he waited. The animal seemed to gambol around as a kitten, dropping down and rolling over and over, anti would then jump and spring over some object and whirl spin and come beak, and seemed perfectly delighted. It was a huge panther, and ite antics were the queerest he had ever noticed. He suspected that it might be playing with the dead body of his San and could scarcely restrain from sheen ing, though he knew it was scarcely possible to kill the animal while it was moving about so friskly. So he decided to wait a better opportunity. A moment later he saw what he at first supposed to be another animal, but behind the creek bank. He now felt certain that there were two of the animals and his son must surely be dead. Suddenly, however, the first of the animals that he had seen sprang upon the end of a large hickory log that come down to within a few feet of the creek bed, and there it lay at full length, wagging its tail as if in the very act of mak- ing a spring. Strange to say, scarcely bad it vamped on the log ere the father saw the forra of his own son step up close to the panther and seemingly toy with the animal's head and whiskers. The boy, too, stood directly between the panther and his fabhenso to that the latter dared not shoot. The father, with breathless anxiety, waited for him to move away from in front of the ani- mal but strange to relate the boy +seemed al- most entranced to the spot. xgws.

It was held in the Greet Perk, at Windsor, almeat in the shadow of the grand cattle whioh has long bema the chosen home of the British eavereigre The +tate apartcnents were thrown open to the public, and visitors to the ehow were thus allowed also to inspect the treasures of royalty. 'Phe weather was uncommonly favorable, and no incident was wanting for the triumphant success of the show. The show -yard oom, prised about one hundred and twenty-five times inclosed in a fence. The avenges spread out in lan-ehepe from the central group of buildings, of which the prinoipal one was the Q teen's preilion. This beauti ful edifice had a frontage of sixty-four feet, and a depth of fiity four feet. It was in the late Tudor style of architecture ; the inter- ior decorations were rich and appropriate, and the whole was a °entre of attraction. The entrance to the ohow-yard and all the structures on the grounds were in excellent good taste, The ehedding for live stoek, implements, rnmehluery and other purposes, mes.surtel 50,079 lineal feet, and as most of it was furnished with a double front, there were nearly twenty miles of frontage. The thew of stook and impiemente wee fully worthy of the occasion. OE stook the number of entries was as follows : Horses - 972; asses, 17; cattle. 1.637; eheep, 1,069; goats, 37; pigs, 265; poultry, 862. As near- ly every one of the entries included several animals, the total number was over 15,000. itt some of the (+lessee the show was the largest and finest ever seen in England, This was notably true of ranny dune of cattle.

At last, however, the boy turned his head slightly, and it gave the lather a chance to discern the panther's left eye, which was eagerly directeci toward the boy. Still the father did not dare to shoot, as a sudden turn of the boy's face or head might result in the latter's immediate death from the rifle ball. Finally the boy did turn aside, exposing the panther's head to full view. The father now, with his eyes riveted on the eights and on the panther, took steady aim at the panther's eye and fired. The animal ,gave a frightful scream, sprang straight in the air, and fell almost at the boy's feet, lifeless. The animal had been shot almost stone dead. But the boy was so terribly frightened that at first he ran as if to get away from his father, and screamed loudly. The latter, however, as soon as he saw that the panther was dead, harried quickly to the side of the boy almost over- joyed et the rescue. Snatching up his eon the father ran home and presented the boy to hie mother, and again the family were happy. The little lad gave quite an interest- ing a000nnt of how the "big cat" had come to him in the woods and what a splendid time they had had playing together. That panther's skin was long kept in the family and was regarded as a sacred relict. The pioneer who related the story was the grown up boy who played in the woods alone With a wild panther. Bufferinz Bettis. . , Seal fishing is one of the greatest 'indus- tries of the Newfoundland coast, their skins bringing fabulous prices as 'articles of wear- ing apparel, while the oil is useful for many purposes. The dwellers of the frczen north make clothing, boats, tents and even cooking utensils trona the skin of aeals, and use their flash for food. These animals are among the raost in- • teresting of the animals that have their homes in the waters. They have great soft brown eyes that gaze at you with the tene- ment wondering look one sem+ in the eyes of a calf, and long before commerce foued use for the seal their intelligeoce and dooilty gave them a place in the folk lore of the north. Sootland and the Scandinavian peoples gave birth to many charming legends based On the belief that seals of tvirnes transformed themselves into human shapes. They are gentle, easily domestitated and becoming vary ntuoli attached to their human friends; they are also very easily trebled, learning all the Woks that dogs perform. It is said that when distrested the seal not only gives voice to its sorrow in plaintive • cries, but that great tears will roll from its eyes. The Newfoundland seal fisheries furnish over 700,000 Akins to commerce annually, and Alaska about a third that number; and what is man's return for this revenue of of money? Seals are (cruelly killed. Off' the Newfoundland coast they are skinned before life is extinor, despite their cries end writhinge. During the past spring over 500,000 of these poor creature •vere captureciand brought bo Halifax and db. John, and all had been killed in a barbarously cruel manner. Such treatment merits the indignation of the whole civilized world, and it is a pity that the age does not still believe the old legends that would oloth the ;male with power to re- turn in other forms and to wreak vengeance on their persecutors; and yet it seems that a man who could take the skin and fat from a living animal while its moans bespeaks its anguish and ite great eyes plead for pity would not listen to any spirit or living orea- ture, or to the small VOlos within. -(Th New Orleans Ploaynne. Food Consumed on Atlantic Liner& The food consumed on one of the lars;e Bat the great improvements which mark bhe last fifty years were most emphatically shown in the departments of implements and machinery. It is mechanical invention, rather than the improvements of herds a.nd flockis that has advanced British agriculture so greatly the half century, and of this fact the Royal show was in every way a worthy exposition. ln extent and variety the dis- play was truly bewildering. Machineryand implements,from the ponderouti road -engines, steam -plows, threshers, grinding -mills, hay, end straw -presses, and other steam -driven devices; plows, harrows, reapers and other machines operated by horses, to the mast delioate appliances for the dairy, were in full force. Among them were many of Amerioan origin, especially chilled plows, reapers, mowers and grain -drilla. The great• eat novelty was the Sirewsonizer, which it virtually an improved broadcast distributor by pneumatic power. It distributes either solids in the form of fine dust, or liquids in a minute spray or mist. It is used for epreading artificial fertilizere or insecticides in liquid or solid form, upon fruit trees, ahruus or vegetables, disinfectants in solu- tion, etc. It was shown in various sizss for horse -or hand -power. Of farm and dairy produces there were 4, 203 entries, embracing products of the field, the dairy, the orchard, and the apiary. In hives and honey there were 276 retries in 22 olgsses. A notable features of the show was the model dairy in which lectures and de• monstrations of butter and cheese -snaking, apiary management, ete., were given from time to time during the week. There were else competitive exhibitions of horet-ahoe- ing. Of agrioulturahvegetable and flower -seeds, there was an imposing show. The beautiful decorations of the grouuds around the Q men's pavilion were furreshed gratuitous- ier by one firm of seedsmen, and all showed commendable enterprise not only in the taste- ful manner in which they displayed their seeds, but also by attractive shows of f ally - grown fresh vegetables, mounted epecitnens of dried -grasses and forage-plea:Itch aud other features which gave this department high value as a popular educator. The show was in every way a marvelous success. Among the thousands of spectators were a few veterans who could remember the first show. it was held at Oxford in 1839, the year betore the royal &carter was obtained; it wag then known as the English Agricul- tukal Society; £890 were offered for compe- tition, and 251 head of stook were exhibited, with 51 articles of husbandry, display.ed on 32 stands. A banquet was merved Itir the quadrangle of Worcester College, at which Damiel Webster, the Minister from the United States, was one of the orators. The royal oharter incorporating the &Dirty under its present name was obtained in 1840 The contrast between the diminutive dimen- sions of that first+ show and the magnitude of the Jubilee Show just closed, was a moat impressive indication of the agricultural pro- gress whioh has marked the reign of our present gracious sovereign. The numerous Americans who have been enthusiaetia over the great show, are atruck with admiration when they reflect that it is an exhibit of the "depressed agriculture ' of a nation with so limited an area. It is doubtless true that our inethods of farming are more cumber- some than yours in America, but where do you grow better crops than we have in good old England? And with all due regard for American genius, it will be many a year before the liatted States will have an ex- hibit to equal this fiftieth Royal Snow.

A method is described in La Samaine dee Conttructeur for preserving oast iron from liability to rust, as the same time insuring a pleasing surface. In accempliehing thio the casting is first thoroughly cleaned, wash. ad in dilute acid, and, when dry, the surface is well rubbed with a metallic brush or a file, and then painted several coats with raw pet relearn, care being taken that eaoh coat be thorouphly dry before the next is applied. On the Iaet coat beooming dry it is to be well rubbed with a stiff hair brush, the reeelb being an actractive dull politch, cepahle ofresisting a high degree of heat and not susceptible to any attack by rust. This condition may be indefinitely preserved and improved by the occasional application of a tingle coat of petroleum, followed by berthing.

The blades of the eareWo, though attached to the same Wises, were of different forms and areas, and the vessel was driven at 8, 12, 16 and 18 knots and also ab 1 ull speed. The first sorew tested had it diameter of 12 feet, arid a rneen pitch of 17 feet, 3 inchee when, with 0,975 -horse power, a speed of 19,574 knots was realized, The second screw, 13 feet 6 inches diameter mad 17 feet pitch, and with 10,011,horee power, gave a epoed of 19.921 knots. Finally, the third threw had it diameter of 12 feet 3 inches and a pitoh of 1/ feet 3 inches and gave it speed of 19 717 knots with 6,901 horses.
