four miles. The portion of the canal ;
completed is upon the eastern side, and
is eleven miles in extent through a level
country mainly of clay formation, Here
is a specimen of the work done, in Mr. j
Smiths words: “One of the many
stupid expedients which the canal com
pany adopted for holding the mud was
to put up an ordinary wooden fence,
fastened with bamboo withes and stakes.
Os course, in a little while the pressure
of the half-liquid mud became too great
for the weak barrier to withstand, and
down came fence, mud and all into the
cinal again, to he once more dredged out
at an enormous expense. A yet more
curious state of things exists at places
further in shore, where other cuts have
been made by several different contra-- 1

ia these contracts as to what si,all be
done with the earth after it has been
excavated. What is the r. suit of this ! ,
emission? The contractor simply load j
it on hand-carts and mn it back a little
way in the cut which they have made . 1
and leave it there. The con sequence is ,

I kept and we made ready against a sur-

; woods and the like, and everything was
plain sailing. It was on tl.e tenth day
| out-, at abcut mid-after tiwou, that trouble
came. We were towing the schooner
i ahead against a sluggish current, in a por
j ticn of the liver split into several chan
nels by bars. I was ordered into the
; small boat, along with James Keys and
William Price, sailor men, to sound a
channel and pick out a berth for the
night. While the schooner was being
held by the yawl we forged ahead around
a bend in the river, and the thick forest
shut out the craft from our vision. It
wasn’t two minutes after we lost sight
of the schooner betore three canoes,
each holding five natives, dashed out at
us from the mouth of a creek. The
black fellows made no noise, but pad
dled full at us. This put us in a fix, you
understand. There had been no hostil
itics as vet, and it would not do to fire
upon them, though, on the other hand,
we c ouldn't understand why they were
making for us in that manner. -We
didn’t have more than four or fire min
utes to spare. I was sounding, while
Keys and Price were rowing.
Price dropped his oar and raised
a musket, but we protested, and
he laid it down again. Next moment,
we were surround d, and a dozen of the
I feliows had their hands on our boat.
1 They were armed with bows and arrows
and old British muskets. AVhilj offering
us no violence, we could plainly under
stand from their gestures that we were
I psisoners. They took the oars and
; muskets from our boat, and in the course

and social meetings of the society are
held privately. Once a mouth or once
in two weeks would lie often enough for
public meetings here. Short programs j
with one interesting paper and plenty j

toward entertaining and bringing out the j

Web-Footed Cows in Nevada.
The cows down at Empire, on Iho
Carson Hiver, feed on the numcroiu
•mall, low, flat islands at that point,
which divide the river up into many
meandering sloughs and branches. A
ihort time ago, when the river was high,
these islands were completely sub
merged, but now they are above
water again, and covered with short,
sweet grass, which the cows eagerly seek.
They are spdlsed to wading and swim,
ining from ono point to another that
Iheir feet have become broad, with i
strong thick web, like solo leather,
formed between the toes. Any one of
those cows can out-swim a rowboat or

says, “was wrung out after being dipped,,
in water. A common frying pan was'
then heated nearly red hot. The wet
| blanket was then applied over the brand
and the red-hot pan pressed hard against
I it. The steam generated scalded the
hair clean off, and the job was done. The
J same plan is adopted by horse thieves.
! Then, again, these fellows had a i
j kind of branding iron with which they
| could change a number of brands. I
once heard a Texan boast of a man in
Presidio County, Texas, who started in ,
twenty years ago with only two cows and
a branding iron and is to-day worth
SIOO,OOO. I told him that 1 knew half a

and are to-day worth SOOO,OOO. The
branding iron has made the foundation

“Is it possible,” I asked, “for a note 1
to be so split in two as to show both t
sides of it intact?”
“Oh yes, and it is »ery easily done. '
You procure a certain kind of gum, and '
paste the note face downward to a piece
of paper. Then you paste another piece J
of paper over the back of the note. By
, arcfnlly pulling the two pieces apart :
the fibre of the note will split, a„ 1 wha, '
looks like a difficult transaction is easily 1
accomplished. Nothing, however, can :
