oeing seni me ior hatching purposes
(having no hen at that time brood r
and no incubator) I determined to se"t
one of my hens on these eggs.and keep
her there by the force of mesmeric
J ower. lhe eggs were not fresh when
. received them. and to keep them with
the uncertain hope of a heu becoming
broody might have been fatal to their
uatcniog. t tuereiore went against
nature and set niT hen upon these
eggs; she was in full lay nt the time.
aud remained so throughout the three
weeks that she was sitting, laving, ac
cording to wont, two out of the three
days. 1 hose who understand oultry
win appreciate mat no lieu will do this,
having become naturally broodr. al
though for the hrst day or two after
being set ou eggs I have had heus lay
once or even twice.
Marking the eggs I set her upon, 1
was able to know and withdraw the
eggs she kept laying. The first day I
placed her on the eggs it tmk me half
an hour to bring her into a hypnotic
coudition; but. each successive day,
after having roused her to drink and
eat, I was able to sooth her to drowsv
placidity in much less time; also there
were days, for which I can get uo
reason, when I had to go to her more
than once in the day. she being in a
restless, excited slate, trying to get off
the nest. The result has beeu. much
to my own astonishment, that four out
of seven of these eggs have hatched
and are healthy, happy little chickens.
At night I can htiil influence their
mother to her maternal duties, but iu
the daytime she takes no notice of
them.

Engineer Melville with a view to avoid- ot

would have been necessary had only
two screws been used. In the latter
case 10,000 horse power would have
beeu transmitted by a single shaft,
while in the three-screw arrangement
only 6,850 horse power passes through
each shaft. As shown in the City of
Paris accident the strain on the heavy
shafting is tremendous, aud the conse
quences of a break-down are dread
ful. One other reason why Mr. Mel

was the fact that the ship had to be en

About Jonah and tbe Whale.
jocior. sain a imwnt reporter
lesieiuaj iu a city minister, "is there
not a natural explanation of the
whale s swallowiug of Jonah?"'
'Yes. In the first place there is
nothiug iu the Hebrew to show that it
was what we call a w bale. The word
translated into both the Sen.-igiiit
and the New Testament by the Greek
Katos' means simply a sea monster;
and this word was the one used by our
Lord in his reference to this account of
Jonah. (Matthew xii.. 89-41). So
far. therefore, as the Hebrew or Greek
words are concerned, the fish may
have been a whale, a shark, a sea ser
pent or any other large monster of the
deep. Hence, there is nothing incred
ible in the statement that Jonah, upon
being thrown into the sea. was quickly
overtakeu by a sea monster and swat
lowed without suffering any mutila
tion, providing the monster was large
enough. It is well known that the
waters through which a vessel in sail
ing from Joppa to any Spanish port
must pass were frequented, in early
times, by a specie of shark called sea
dog, having a throat large enough to
swallow a man whole. The French
naturalist, Lacepede, in his -Histoire
des Poissons, states that sea-dogs have
a lower jaw of nearly six feet iu semi
circular extent; which enables us to
understand how they can swallow en
tire auimals as large or larger than
ourselves. Blumenbach. tbeGerman
roologist, in his Manual of Natural
History,' is authority for the additional
facts that sea-dogs have been taken
weighing five tons, and that a horse
has been found whole in the stomach
of a sea-dog. And Pliny, 50 A. D.,
gives au account of tho skeleton of a
sea monster forty feet long, whose ribs
were higher than those of an Indian
elephaut. This skeleton. Piiny savs.
was brought from Jopo.i, a city" of
Judea. and exhibited in liorno by M.
Scaurus. "'., Luke Trilnnte.
