Niagara's Ice Bridge. Those wbo visited Niagara Fulls recently witnessed a fee tie never before known in the winter history of that great cataract. Oue of the best ice liri'lges ever known formed in the gorge immediately below the falls a a week ago, and the high winds of Monday drove the water down the lake into the river. The water began rising, and just after 1 I\ M. the deep and increasing rumbling indicated that the pressure would disrupt the great glacier. Soon the middle pori ion broke away and moved niuj< ucally down the stream for about live hundred yards, until the mass iu tho nar row part ol the gorge below brought it to a sudden stop with a crash which echoed and re-echoed from side to side of the chasm. As far as the eye could reach the vast masses of ice were be ing crushed to atoms, while here and there minature volcanos of ice and water spouted high op into the air. Jly uark the ice gorge extended from the foot of the fulls to just below the railroad suspension bridge, some two miles, antj it seemed to lie solid from the bottom of the river to a height of more than fifty feet above high-water mark. l>uring the night huge masses of ice went crashing over the cataruet and were thrown high on either shore; and about midnight some two hundred feet nf the famous inclined railroad at Prospect l'urk were carried away, while the stone observatory and dressing-rooms at the "Shadow of the I lock," between the foot of railway and the American fall were crushed to pieces. The house of John MeOloy, a ferryman, on tin; Canada side, about 7:*) ftet above the usual ice leyel, was partly overturned and the occupants bad a narrow escape. The little ferry boats were crushed in their houses, anil several of the guys of the new suspension bridge were torn from their foundations. The damage will be several thousand dollars, but the Prospect Park Company are hard at work repairing the damage to the rail way. so that tourists can go below. If all the ice bridges at this fulls dur ing the past ten years were piled on tup of each other it is said that they would hardly equal tho height and length of the one which then spanned the chasm. "How Kire Sweeps ;i Wooden •• Mouse." To the Kditnr of the Scientific American.] (hi page o2f> of Sricnti/ir American, November Is, 1882, I find an article with the above caption, and at the end of the article a remark by the "Ed. S. A." to the effect that he who suggests a plan to build frame houses so as to avoid the spread of lire will deserve well of his fellow men. Here is the plan: Let corner and center posts extend from sill to roof plate. Let plates Ixl or 4x(i timber be framed into these at, height of second lloor and at height of upper ceiling in outside wall, and for every partition. Now frame in all braces and studding of outside walls. Set the outside door ! and window frames, and weather board and cover. Next lay all lloors solid or without breaks from outside to out | side. Next frame in the partition studding, toe nailing to the floor and ito the partition plates. The second 1 floor joists will rest on first set of plates, j The upper or third floor joints will rest upon second set of plates. The weath jer boarding will be nailed to these plates outside. The plastering laths ■ and the plastering will touch them on i the inside around the top of each room. Now, let fire start between two studs 'in lower story. It will be seen that it cannot pass to second story till it burns through the weather boarding and up tin- outside or through the plastering j into a room, and then through the ceiling and second floor. Let a lire start in second story. It cannot get below till it burns through the floor. Nor can it get to the roof till it burns through the weather boarding, or through the plastering and upper i ceiling. Let it start in roof. It must burn its way through up|ter ceiling before it gets to second story, and through second floor before it touches the first ! story. This is easy, and it seems to me that with spaces between joists closed, it brings a lire in such a house about within control I live in a house so constructed. .1. C. HODOKS.

The other afternoon, nithou rh the weather was very cold, the lu ivens become obscured by a peculiar vapor, which seemed neither fog nor smoke, nor yet clouds. Though the sun could be plainly seen, it presented precisely the same appearance as when viewed through smoked glass. To the south ward this vapor appeared of an orange hue, while to the west it was blue. Some of our people, looking in that directon, called out: "Old Mouut I)a vidson has got the blues!" and real ly everything in that direction had the blues. About 4 o'clock the whole mass of vapor moved east and settled down over the valley above the Carson River. There it presented a white ap pearance, hiding all the land and low hills, but allowing the peaks of the COlllO range of mountains to bo feen Next the mass of vapor separated into several distinct stratums, and these ascended to tho regions of the upj)er clouds. While this was going on there was visible in tho eastern horizon a broad band of deep blue with above corresponding band of a deep rose red In all other directions the heavens were clear and of usual mild azure hue.— Viryinta Citj Enterprise.

The first shot missed its mark, but the second struck MeClung square iu the back of tho head.

One night recently a hunter resid ing near Ouster was aroused by an unusual none near his cabin. Taking his gun he went out to see what the trouble was, and noticed a deer at full speed with a wild cat on its back, and making a frantic effort to cut the deer's throat with its sharp teeth. The hun ter raised his gun and llrod. The wild cat instantly jumped olf the deer's buck and made for its assailant. The man reloaded his rille, and when tlie animal was within twelve or fifteen feet of lii 111 lie again fired and killed the brute. J list as he fired the last shot tint deer fell 1 load but a few paces from where tho hunter first saw it. Ilvatu ination revealed that tin; man's first shot had wounded the wild oat iu the belly, while the second hit it square ly in the head, aud that the deer had died from the effects of the biting re ceived from its strange rider.—Minne apolis Tribune.

The astronomical society which has I wen started in Brooklyn has a broad field all to itself.

Professional astrono mers seldom take pains to make pub lic the exceedingly interesting discov eries that are continually being made in the heavens, but the members of the new society aver that it is their object to popularize tho study of the stars. Besides, since so many new comets have been (locking into the solar sys tem aud threatening to plunge into the sun, timid people, whose fears have been aroused by stories of the terrible damage a comet may do the earth some of these days, may feel more at their ease when they know there is a society at hand whieh at least ought to lie able to tell all about the weight, size, speed and intentions of any comet, big or little.
