Tne superintendents of the various life- saving stations of the United States, have been instructed to furnish, for scientific pur- poses, samples of the so-called ‘‘singing sands,” wherever found, These gands get their nawe from the peculiar sound, resembling the barking of a dog, which they give forth when welked upon or disiurbed in any way. This property is possessed only by dry sand found between the water line and extreme high tide marks along the sea coast and the shores of the great lakes. Already twenty- six samples of this sort of sand have been received, indicating its existence in as many different localities. Heretofore these singing beaches have only been known to exist in two places, one in America and the other io Europe.

Potato Bua Extermixator.—Mr. James A. Blair, of Weldford, Kent County, N. B., is the inventor of a Potato Bug Exterminator, which is now protected by patent right. The machine is designed to work between the rows of potatoes like a cultivator, and is so light bak portable that it oan be worked by a small boy. By ita large field of potatoes can be cleared in a very short time. As the machine progresses along between the rows, revolving wings or fans draw the tops of the potatoes over a concave box four or five feet long, at the bottom of which is a space sufficiently large to allow the bugs to pass through and be ground into chowder between two rollers revolving in opposite directions. The machine may he adjasted to suit any depth of furrow and any height of potato tops. It has been thoroughly tested by the farmers of Weldford, and Mr. Blair says tothe satisfaction of all. The invention certainly displays considerable ingenuity, and if the bugs are thick next year there will probably be a good sale for the article. Mr Clair is manutacturing one hun- dred of the machines this winter.—Moneton Times.

A Niagara Adventure. TWO LABORERS IN THE RAPIDS ESCAPE BY CLINGING TO A CAKE OF ICE.
A last Monday night's Buffalo despatch says: An interesting story of a thrilling adventure of two men in the Rapids at Niagara Falls is told by C. Crawford, an eye-witness of the narrow escape. On Sat- urday morning Tim Horn and Peter Scan- lon, who are employed by Bill & Murray, were working in the upper mill-race trying to remove the ice blockade They asked for assistance to remove some planks over the apron at the foot of the race, which was a very risky operation, By some mishap the men lost their footing and were thrown out intothe millrace a few feet away from the apron. In an in- instant they were carried out into the the “rapids just above Goat Island Bridge. Mr. Brawford at once crossed the race and started for the brink of the fall. Below the water was free from obstruction, and he thought Horn and _ Scanlon would surely be swept over the Falls. Near the point where the men were thrown into the rapids was a big cake of ice, which prevented them from being swept out into the middle of the river. There was a small channel with a curve where there was another big block of ice about eight feet square, which was fastened to the rocks. On to this they were thrown. The men clasped the ice cake with their arms and hung on until ropes were brought and they were drawn from the water. The men were in the water nearly an hour and had a narrow escape from death. They were badly frightened and severely chilled. Had they not clung to the ice cake they would have been swept iuto eternity.

Suicide of a Dog. What is generally believed to be a case of deliberate suicide on the part of a dog occurred at Warwick, N. Y., last week. The dog was a valuable and intelligent pointer, owned by Mr. Sliker, a well-known sportsman. Mr. Sliker recently purchased another dog, and as he found some difficulty in domesticating him, showed him extraor- dinary kindness and attention, The old dog manifested great disapproval of this treament, and developed a case of unmis- takable jealousy.
