The only effect noticeable to the observer when the current is turned on and the wire sprung is a slight convulsion of the water which at first was attended by the killing of myriads of perch and other small fishes. But now few are killed, the little creatures sinelling danger afar.

Whatever may be the result. of all this work—and we feel that it will be in every way beneficial to navigation—one thing is certain, and that is-that the Government have entrusted it to the proper hands. Capt. Gillis is a competent and experienced

They show a terrible state of af- fairs at Jefferson baryacks, alleging that re- cruits are treated like dogs, that men are ‘strung up by the wrisis until they swoon from weakness, and that brutal sergeants deem no cruelty toosevere. They relate ‘how ae insane man was heartlessly tortur- ed, while common soldiers are imprisoned jat the whim of their superiors. The state- ment is made that in the guard-house, where prisoners are packed into an enc!o- sure 20x40, the sanitary condition is terri- ble. ‘The prisoners are kept from sleep by ‘vermin, and their surroundings are revolt- ing in the extreme.

Who advised her pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sar- saparilla, appreciated the truth that bodily health is essential to mental vigor.

in the rocky bottom, with driils 20 to 25 fset long. By means of these instrumeuts .the rock is drilled to a depth of four or five feet, and, into these arill-hules cartridges ‘of dynamite are inserted, and the whole iblast discharged by means of an electric | kattery, operated by the head ofticer.
