For Unloading Grain.

; These are the days of big ships and large cargoes, and to Oltain a fair profit on the ( huge outlay it is necessary for shipowners to get as much work as possible out of the ■ ships when built. Therefore the more quickly vessels can be unloaded and re loaded and out of dock again the better pleased are the masters. The unloading of loose grain used in the old days to afford a long job of work to several men, ib being all done by hand. As a want generally creates a supply, how ever, it is not surprising that from time to time appliances to hasten the work hare been invented. ' One such appliance consists'of hydraulic cranes, which take up a bucketful of grain between four spade-shaped scoops and re lease it at any desired spot. But an im proved method was introduced by Mr F. E. Duckham, engineer to the Millwall Docks, London. Our readers have probably often looked at a barometer, an instrument for measur ing the weight of the air, which is continu-. ally changing. But aB a sudden change shows a common change in the weather, it is important to take note of the alterations as they occur. The barometer consists of a glass tube, closed at one end, whioh is filled with mer cury, and then turned upside down in a bowl. All the mercury cannot run out of the tube on account of the pressure of the air, which tries to get in and fill up the empty space, called a vacuum, left at the top of phe tube. When the weight of the mercury in the tube equals the pressure of the aii outride, the former ceases fc« flow out. This pressure of the air is sufficient to keep a column of mercury about thirty ; inches high in the tube, but the height of the column varies with the pressure of the air.. The pneumatic elevator is constructed on somewhat the same principle. From & vacuum chamber long tubes stretch like the arms of au octopus to all parts of the loose grain in the hold of the ship. 'The pressure, of the air forces the grain up the tubes, to the vacuum chamber, from whence, after weighing itself, it can be discharged loose into barges or into sacks. The pipes stuck up every grain with, wonderful ease, and thus oargo of this kind can be discharged at the rate of 100 tons per hour.

Disii.i-TjsioNKD.--An elderly rector, who was recently appointed to a country parish in Scotland, was deeply touched and grati fied by the numerous requests he got from young ladies of the congregation, for locks ■'■ of his silvery hair. It was so pleasant to find the young people imbued with a due veneration for white hairs, and as long as the supply lasted, he was determined that none should be refused. He was just pre paring an eloquent sermon on veneration, tor the following Sunday, when an artless damzel snddenly spoiled the fond delusion, and gave the whole thing away, by writing to the good old clergyman's wife. She knew, she said, that a great many demands had been made upon her husband of late, but said sheihoped that she too might ask for a small lock of his beautilul hair, as she was particularly anxious'to finish off some fu-bi-icial lilies of the valley, which she was making for the coining bazaar. The clergyman cho.se for his text, the fol lowing Sunday, "All is vanity." Thi.

Among the medicinal preparations which have, from time to time, been placed before the public, it can be stated without fear of contradiction, that there is none too cur- • pass Evans's WITCH'S OIL. As an embro cation in cases of Rheumatics, Sciatica, or Lumbago it is absolutely unrivalled, but bhe scope of its influence extends far beyond these complaints. For example, in sudden attacks of Inflammation of the Bowels, Spasms, Cramp, or Colic the application of this mixture will afford immediate relief, and avert the serious consequences that are inevitable if the necessary pallative is not at hand. Indeed, there is no ache or pain to which the human frame is susceptible that Witch's Oil will not allay, and for this reason no household should be with mt a remedy which, may truly be de scribed as magical.
