Hooey from frniUi Oar honey crop ia short An exceedingly long lUp from th thort this yew, and I have already began to pat np loal to the practical wee med when that "box more flcii- oi f !"r''m"y we " i'" f " fruit urn 31 which I think re ercn more oious with wsfllesand other breakfast ckee. Thia year I have made them in a little different manner from my former practice, 1 dissolved h re lbs. of granulated auger in (offloieot water to oorer it, let it oome to a boll and eat it away nntil cold. This ia then poured over 10 lbs. of freehly gathered raspberries or atraw berries and kept in a oloeely ooverad veeoel for 24 boon. The syrup, which has eitraoted the aroma with the finer iaioea of the fruit, is then drained through a tine sieve or strainer, without preeS' are, snl boiled strain, care being taken to skim it well.

Many years have the solentillo men of all oountriee been theorising on the application of eleotrtotty to the purposes of every day III, aside from the important ones of telegraphing, lighting, eto. Above all things was it wanted (or a motor, and now it seems, suddenly, this applioation is made. The box was cent to Glas gow, to Kir Wm.

It oonsitted of four of Ksure's bat teriea charged with electricity from an ordinary drove's battery. The four batteries were en. oloeod In a wooden box, about a eunio loot in measurement, and weighed about 73 lbs. our Wm. Thomson now makes the important an nonncemeut that all that has been stated has been more than borne out by experiment. No appreciable loss could be ascertained to have occurred daring the delay from transit and until the stored energy was applied to working purposes In Ulasgow.
