Da Sttakea Catch Ffck ! A. W. C!ihh, of the United States Coast Survey, describes, in a note to th editor of the Popular Science Monthly, a contest which lie and a hrother-olllcer witnessed in 1807 on the Purissima, a small trout stream about 24 miles south of San Frpnuisco : We had boon ashing on the stream, and came to a high bank: which overlooked a transparent pool of water about ten feet iu diameter and four feet in depth. This pool was fringed witli willows, aud had on one bide a small gravel bank. Tho trout at first sight was lying in mid-water, heading up stream. It was, as afterward ascertained, fully nine inches in length a very desirable prize for an angler, While studying how to cast our Mies to secure him, a novel fisherman appeared, and so quick were his actions that we susponded our own to witness them. This new enemy of tho trout was a large water-snake of tho common variety, striped black and yellow. He swam up tho pool on the surface until over the trout, when he made a dive, and by a dexterous movement seized tho trout in such a fashion that tho jaws of the snake closed its mouth. The fight thon commenced. Tho trout had the uso of its tail and fins, and could drag the snake from the surface, when near tho bottom, however, the snako made use of its tail by winding it around every stone or root that it could reach. After securing this tail hold it could drag tho trout toward tho bank, but, on lotting go, tho trout would have a how advantage This battle was continued for full 20 minutes, when the snako managod to gut its tail out of tho water and clasped around the root of one of tho willows mentioned as overhanging tho pool. The battle wa9 then up, for tho snako gradually put coil after coil around tho root, with each one dragging the fish toward the land. When half its body wits coiled it unloosened its first h -Id and stretched tho end of its tail out in overv direction.

and, finding another root, made fust, and now, using both, dragged tho trout out on tho gravel bank. " It now had it under control, and, ttncoiling.tho snako dragged tho fish fully ten feet up on the bank, and I suppose would have gorged him. o killed the snake and replaced tho trout in tho water, as wo thought that he desorved liberty. Ho was apparently unhurt, and in a few moments darted off. That tho watersnake of our California brooks will prey upon the ycung of the trout, and aiso smaller aim less active lisiies, I nave noticed, but never have seen un attack on a fish so lariro or one more hotly contested. Plants De NeT'Pedsen the Air. Mr. Long, tho well known Ilorist of Bufl'alo, in his Home Florist says: There is a notion prevalent that thb presence or growing plants in the sleeping or living room is detrimental to a healthy atmosphero by their giving out poisonuus uHruuuiu Hum ga.s iniuunigut. inuu. l lie investigations of chemists demon slrato that growing plants do exhale an almost imperceptible quantity of car bonic acid gas, which, iu very small proportions, is necessary in tho air we breathe. Thoy also show that tho quan tity exhaled at night is but the one-six teenth part of what the same plants ao sorb from the atmosphere during the day and convert into nearly its own weight of oxygen, thus changing a poisonous eas that derives its 'origin from various sources into one of the principal elements of pure air. If carbonic acid gas is emitted from plants ia dangerous quantities, it certainly would exist largely m.tiie night atmosphero of a close green-house heated to a tropical temperature and crowded from lloor to rafter with rank vegeta tion. Yet, in my experience, I have never known the slightest ill effects to ho realized from night work in greenhouses, neither in cases that have frequently occurred of workmen making the warm green-houses their sleeping quarters for a night and oven for an en tire winter, which, to my satisfaction, affords practical proof that the notion is a fallacy; and tho fact that perhaps no healthier class of tnon can ho found than green-house operators, who work constantly in an atmosphere where plants arc growing, would prove, instead, that living plants exert a beneficial inlluence upon the air we breathe. Thoso who have heretofore dreaded to keep plants in their houses on account of their suppobud ill elleets may rest at ease, and even furnish thoir sleeping-rooms with llowers. The work of planting eucalyptus or fevor trees along the right of way of tho Central and Southern Pacific Rail ways, rocently begun, will probably occupy about two years. Thoy will bo set out in triple rows along-tho entiro length of both roads, and along the branches as for as practicable. The principal object is to securo a constant supply of tho best possi'do wood for telegraph polos and railroad sleepers, as well as an increase in the amount of rainfall. Sloonors of Mucahndm Jlostrala have been know to last over 12 years, and have heretofore been imported from Australia. Four distinct species will bo planted, congenial to as many kinus of soil. -At Fort Wayne, Intl., X.

Tke New Petreleum Fever. The excitement of the early days of the petroleum discovery in IVnn.sylvania is excoeded now through the' recent finding of oil about Bradford, Mc. Kean County, in spite of tho stubbornly held opinion of geologists aud export that oil did not exist so far north. Tliu first boliovor that oil con d bu found in tho valley was Job Moses, who had made a fortune in patent medicines m Rochoster, N. Y. He bought largo tracts of land about Limestone, M years ago, ami bored diligently, but he t.jund only indications. Ho spout all his weney iu his venture and when it was gone tried to induce speculators to invest.and was 6t enthusiastic that people called him crazy. The oil was found two years ago, and since then not loss tlnn $10,. OuO.000 have been invested within a circuit of 20 miles. Land that two years ago would have been dear at any price now sells at $1,000 an acre. Within a distance of four miles three flourishing towns have sprung into existence, and tho town of Bradford, formerly consisting of u lumbei man's lavem and a few scattered farm-houses, now has 11,600 inhabitants, and the furore has extended north into New York State. Tho oil belt is about two miles wide, and has now nearly '100 productive wells. One peculiarity is that tho oil is found at a great depth, tho average being 1,100 feet and some wells are 1,400 feet deep, and tho daily product is about 2,000 barrels. There are three pipe-lines connecting tho wells with tho Erie road, 13 tunes away, and ono is to be built CO miles long. A branch of tho Krio road that runs through tho district ami wlio.se business, a few months ago, was but $ 3,.r)00 a month, now does 35,0110 a month. Much of tho land is bought outright, but in most cases it h leased and the own u paid a bonus and royalty, one-fourth being now claimed. Capital is n,ow pouring into the valley, and owners are all dreaming of wealth, the very door-yards bointr invaded tv the

derrick and drill. ' Crazy " .Job .Moses is making .?M0 a day on royalties, hut the most noticeable case of Midden wealth is Miko McCarthy, a drunken Irish switch-tender of the Erie Kailroad. His father left him GO acres of land that Miko couldn't pay the taxo3 on and would have sold at any price. Iiut ho had a shrewd wifo who wouldn't let it go, and Miko is now selling at $1,000 an acre and is making $.500 a week on royalties. Mike .stilt wears his grea.-y switchman's clothes, but ho U having "a high old time," throwing his money around loose among the hoys, and is the modified .Johnny Steele of thU new dispensation. Grease or paint spots in clothes arc easily removed by oil of turpentine, or a hot iron pressed on tho place over coarse brown paper, after bcraping all that can be got oil' with a blunt knife. Stains may bo removed from light colored clothes, such as drabs, buffs, or whites, with fuller's earth , but this is apt to take tho color out of dark cloth?. It should be dissolved in a little boiling water, put on the snot when hot, held to tho tiro to dry, and then brushed out. Pitch is removed, first, by rubbing the place over with grease or oil, mid then taking out tho oil by the application of spirits of turpentine. Christianity is making advances in Japan. By tho last report we find that there are 13 societies at work, with 19 missionaries on tho ground, besides native helpers. There are 5)0 stati ius anil 1,004 converts, 40 native students for tho ministry, and GOO Sunday-school scholars. Tho Now Testament in Japanese will soon be ready for circulation, and parts of tho Old" Testament are in the translator's hands.
