NEW LIME SAVING LADDERS. -- • They Wall Be Vsed in Buffalo avid Ake...Fire- men Are Ruby At Practice Now. Several firemen stationed at Fire Head- quartera are just now improving their spare time in getting accustomed to the use ot the new life raving apparatus, which will be used oa trucks No. 1 and No. 2. In a test whioh WAS held yesterday afternoon it was shown that the new implements are of the greatest value in Raving lives of people in burning buildings. Tine apparatus consists of two ladders about 15 feet in lengbh, a belt with a large enaphook attached, a line and and a hatchet. The ladder is made of stout hickory, and consists of a single stand- ard with short croempiects. A big, claws like hook is adjueted at the upper end of the ladder, is designed to catch upon a window sill or the eave trough of a fled roaf. With two of these ladders a firemen can scale the highest wall easily, provided it contains enough windows one above another. Ile Minim one ladder from a second story window, climbs to the top of that and, steadying himself by fastening the hook at his belt to the hook at the end of the first ladder, raises the second ladder and places it in position in the window above ; then he repeats until ha reaches the desired point. In descending, the fireman is independent of the ladder. Fixing the end of the life- line, which be has carried up with him, to any convenient object in the room or, in absence of such an object, to one of the spikes which he carries in his belt, he takes a turn of the rope throught his belt hook and descends at his •leisure. This system hat been in use in this country several years and has been adopted by the tire department of New Yerk, Claioago, St. .Louis and other places.--Bufalo News. Sonnets We Hay Net Bear. Animal's may hear sounds that are inau- dible to no. Certainly the sounds that give the keenestpleasure to many animals, cats, for example, are seldom capable of giving pleasure to us. We know, of course, that sounds may be too low or too high, that ie, the vibrations may be too slow or too rapid, to be audible to the human ear; but it does not follow tbat they are equally inaurlible to differently tuned eerie The limits of audible sound are not invariable even in the human ear; women can usually hear higher sounda than men, and the two ears are not, as a rule, equally keen. A sound may be quite luau - edible to one person and plainly heard by another. Prof. Lloyd -Morgan mentions as an instance of this, a case in which the piping of some frogs in Africa was so loud to him as almost to drown his friend's voice, but of which his friend hoard absolutely nothing. The same thin may be observed by anyone possessing the little instrument known as Galton's whistle. The sound made by this whistle can be made more and more shrill, until at last it ceases to be beard at all by most persons. Some can still hear it; but by raising the sound still higher even they cease to hear. The sound is still being made, that i, the whistle is causing the air still to vibrate, but so rapidly that our ears no longer recognize it, though the existence of these inaudible vibrations is detected by a "sensi- tive flame," as was first shown by Prof. Barrett in 1875.-01/ambers' Journal.

The eale was abso- lutely unreserved and bona dde, eis the prices paid for many of the Animals proved For the past month the menagerie hes been stationed at Cross-Bonee Yard, Union Omen Borough, a disused burial ground °nee belonging to St Xsivier's Church, and here the sale was held. There wail a large number of purchasere, prinoipally shewinen and dealers in wild beaste, including Sangenof Astley's Theatre; Jamrach, the lion tamer; E. H. Bostock, Jennieon'Creber, Putriries, 0.

The animals looked in good condition and those acomitorned to perform gave an ex- hibition of their tricks under the hand and es e of Zeeman Crouch, the keeper, hut the urinated hour made the lions and tigers growl a good deel in protesb against being disturbed so early in the day. Mr. 0. N. Sexton conducted the side, which 'began with a number of birds, cockatoos perm - quote, golden pheasants, niacaws arid other varieties. For these moderate prices were obtained, cookatoos Pelting at 10, 14, 16 and 18 shillings each. A iiplendid rod and blue macaw brought 18 etnianga. A permit from the Amazon River went tor 37 shillings, a parrot from the Amazon. fetched £3 12s, the Griffin vulture sold for £4, a Pondicherry vulture went at £3 10s, a crested pelicanat 5 guineas, a caesowary alt nearly £20, and ten Rhesus monkeys ae LI each, two oersted porcupines went at £6 5s and 27 7s, a Malayan bear, in capital condi- tion, £9 5s, a red kangaroo £17, and a lot of antelopes at good figures, one Indian one realizing £6 and a Lsucorvz antelope X20. The star of tho auction wali an Indian elephant, describer' in the catalogue as "perfectly quiet in harness; able to draw five tone thirty miles a day, if required, and so docile that a child might driveit-.-a per- fect gem." A ringwas made in the centre of the i ground, n which the elephant showed his trickle mounting tubs, rolling about. play- I ing like a kitten, eto. When he had finished the auctioneer mounted a tub, and after a lively Welding knocked " the perfect gem" down at £220 to Mr. E. M. Hogback, who has several menageries travelling about the country. Two of the camels which had evidently had a private quarrel, refused to enter the ring together, so the male, a Bactrian, a good deal off color, was led in first and sold for £25. The female then followed and cleared the ring for herself with her hind legs in a very curious fashion; she brought £45. Mr. Gennison bought a mag- nificent Syrian bear for £4, and Mr. Bus - tock bought a Polar hear for 5 guineas, a black bear for 3 guineas, a sloth bear in good condition for £5, and for the same sum a brown bear which bed performed in the high road at Windsor before the Queen. A tine young jaguar brought £30. Three leopards were then put through their per- formance, while the Windnor bear lay back in the adjoining cage and let the keeper scratch his head. The leopards were sold to Mr. Creber for £175. A leopardesa brought the Same SUM, being considered for family reasons as throe; a small, spotted hyene brought £9, and was booght by a man who accepted the auctioneer's invita- tion to " entr.r the cage arid do what you like with it." Next came a magnificent lion and tiger, taut, after a good deal of play, the tieer was eold for £105 and the lion for £160; £60 each was paid for a couple of young lions, and two lions and a lioness sold for £140 to Mr. Pallets. Five young wolves were bought by Capt. Fitzgerald tor £38 for the purpose, as the auctioneer facetiously ob- served, "of turning them oat somewhere to • improve the breed." Oue lion, a bigamist, and his two companions, who were de- scribed as of most astonishing breeding propensities, having each given birth to seven litters of cubs in three years," were bought by Mr. Bodo& for £170. These eninials SISO gave an excelleut performance, although the pater families, who was evi- dently of an uncertain temper andadornestie tyrant, given good deal of trouble when taken from the bosom of his family after the performance.

The navy has its Gbersodi, and the army will not forget Dr. Gatlingts gun. Gottschalk, the composer, and Gilmore, the band leader, may also be mentioned, while Asa Gray and Presidexit Gilman deserve a high place among the scholars of the century. In Europe one name comes quickly to the mind, that of Gladstone. France con- tributes to tbe list Gambetta, Gravy and Goblet.

It is very vexing and annoying, indeed, to have one's lips break out with cold sores, but, like the measles, it is far better to etrike out than to strike in. A drop of warm mutton suet applied to the sores at night, just before retiring, will soon cause them to disappear. This is also an excel- lent remedy for parched lips and chapped hands. It should be applied at night in the liquid state and well rubbed and heated in before a brisk fire, which often causes a smarting sensatiore but the roughest of hands, by this treatment, will often -be restored to their natural condition by one application. If everyone could but know the healing properties of so simple a thing as a little mutton suet no houeekeepar would ever be without it. Get a little from your butcher, try it out yourself, run into small oakes, and put away ready for use. For cuts and bruises it is almost indispen- sable, and where there are children there are always plenty of outs and bruises. Many a deep gash that would have fright- ened most women into sending for a physi- cian at once I have healed with no other remedies than a little mutton suet and plenty of good motile soap. A wound ehould always be kept clean and the band- ages changed every day or every other day. A drenching of warm soap suds from the purest soap that can be obtained is not only cleansing but healing; then cover the sum faoe of the wound with a bit of old white muslin clipped into melted mutton suet. Renew the drenching and the suet every time the bandages are °hanged, and you will be astonished to see how rapidly the ugliest wound will heal. One Family. The Smith family is a numerous one and is destined te become still more to, if there ere many like an Illinois branch. An Oakland despatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean, saya a remarkable family record is that of Thomas and Catharine Smith, who moved to Cole County in 1830 and settled near ilenerwille. Both of them died in February, • 1865. They left fifteen children, fourteen of whcm • are still living. Twelve of them have grand- children and three have great grand- children.

He is confined to his bed, rarely being able to assume a sitting posture for more than five or ten minutes. /le fit either quite unconscious of the pro- gress of the Panama matter or remembers the meagre information occasionally given bim and does not wish to mention the disgrace that has overtaken his family. He takes only liquid nourishment. On last Friday evening he had a sinking turn which Mme. de Lesseps feared was the beginning of the end. His physician was summoned and found hie pulse was almost gone. By the use of stimulants the old man was re- vived, and his family watched at his bed- side the rest of the night. Since then the physician has slept each night in the room next to the sick room. On Saturday and Sunday Count de Lessens spoke but twice, and then only to call his wife to his Isedidde. On Monday he rallied somewhat, and wished to be carried to his favorite window in order thathe 'night see the sunset. While the attendants were lifting him, however, he raised his hand, motioned them to stop, and sank back on the pillow. Yesterday he had another sinking turn. The Panama agitators deny the truth of all reports of ilis failing vitality, and say that an effort is being made to save him from his sentence by representing him to be much more ilt than he really is, but the reporters and friends of the family who have called at La Chesnaye recently agree that the old man ill weaker even than hie family will acknowledge. al, lam Lt01rO111 TFIE SEA. -- No Trace or Wrechage in Ike Ateepest ot the gee:sten DE11111. An extraordinary circumstance that has been noticed with interest and that always createe surprise when first learned is tit entir e ebseoceof foreign matterin the deeper part of the oceee's floor. Of all the vemela lost in midocean, of all the human beings that have beeu drowned, of all the mai ine auimele that have perished, of all the clay, sand and gravel let fall by dissolving iceberge, of Olt the various sub- stances drifted from every shore by shifties currents—nolt a trace remains, but in their place water from 1,000 to 2,500 fathoms in depth covers the uniform deposit of thick, bluish, tenacious slime, called globi- gerina ooze. A bit of this under a powerful lens is de- clared by the Cosmopolitan to be a revele- tion of beauty not readily forgotten. The ooze ie composed almost eutirely of the daintiest, moat delicately beautiful shells imaginable. All depths greater than 2,500 fathoms the bottom of the sea consiets mainly of pro- ducts • arising from exposure for alinoet incalculable periods, to the chemical action of sea water, pumice and other volcanic matters. Thie finally results in the formation of the red clay deposits that are considered characteristic of the profoundest depths of the ocean. Carbonate of lime, which in the form of the shells of foraminifers, makes up SO large a part of the globigerina ooze, is here almost entirely absent. Sea water ie very nearly a universal sol- vent, and before any shell, large or small, reaches the bottom of these tremendous abysms it is chemically eaten up, literally dissolved—a result which the enormous preseure of the water must materially hasten. One thousand fathoms the weight of the water pressing on all sides of an object im- mersed to that depth, is very nearly one ton to the square inch, or more than one hundred times that sustained at the sea level, and at the greatest depths the pressure is so in- creased that it would seem nothing could withstand it, in fact heavy metal cylinders let down with the sounding apparatus are sometimes, on being drawn up again to the surface, found bent and collapsed, while strongly -made glass vessela which the metal enclosed are shattered into fragments. Thearaehionable Towel. The fashionable towel ia still plain white, with a hemstitched border, with the initials of the owner worked by hand, in letters about an inch high, at the right-hand cor- ner. There are many beautiful fringed towels, with borders in drawn work or in the finest Fayal work, which is a species of embroidery done on drawn threads. For general uee the choice of the buyer of towels lies between damask and hucka- beck. The largest number sold are of the latter kind. The Turkish towels, though excellent at first, lose their sharpness and soon become soft ; Russian oraah is prefer- able. All rough towels ahould be waehed very rapidly, stretched into shape, and dried as quickly as possible. Gives Compositors Another Planta. John Gustafson, of Brooklyn'has in- vented a mechanical "stick" for the use of compositors which allows the free use of both hands in pioking the type out of the boxes. It consists of a funnel -shaped device into which the type IS dropped, face up. The rnechaniem turns the type in the right direction and puts it in its place in the line, It is said that by ha use and the aid of both hands in picking up type the average com- positor oan set 2,000 eme an hour with ease. 'he device has been taken up by Washing- ton capitalists, who are convinced that it is capable of performing what its inventor claims for it. Angina. The Englith language is in an eminently fluid state. Not only does slang ultimately meet with the approval of adoption, and science add monthly to the dictionary, but there is often a change in the pronunciation of familiar words A physician was cor- rected here the Other day by a pedant for his pronuneiation of "angina." The pedant insisted that) the accent ehould be given to the first synth)°, and he was strictly cor- rect.How ninny physicians of this town are thus perfect in speech ? The change in the pronunciation ot this word is of recent date. --Boston Journal. • To Prevent Belts from. Slipping.
