ONE of the most interesting of tho many forms of out-door amusoments with which the Germans enjoy life in the summertime is the "masch." It boars n strong resemblance to tho Americau county fair, but has points of differ ] enco which ronder it peculiarly inter esting to tho student of national amusements. The word "masch" means, more nearly than anything else, ft mixture, and a mixture a German masch certainly is. It is held, as a : rule, at the time of the annual "3cliut- I zenfest" and as near as possible to the I shooting garden. All the fakirs, and what we would call in the America side | show attractions, make a business of traveling about from one masch to an other, so that their attendance has grown into o regular trade. It is especially a "volks" gathering, and tho masses enjoy it to the utmost. Several days before the fest begins caravans which are composed ol wagons strongly resembling the or dinary freight car on wheels, except that they all have curtained windows, may be seen on every road approach ing the city in which the masch is to be held. They take possession of the nearest open spaco to tho shooting garden, and from the cavernous depths of tho metamorphosed freight cars are taken first a larger or smaller tent, a3 the case may be, and a bewildering array of "properties" needed in the forthcoming show. In ft night the vacant place is trans formed into a small city of tents, each the temporary business place of some fakir, the wagons being drawn up con veniently near, as they are the dwell ing-places of tho showmen. The tented town is laid off into streets which on both sides are lined with the boots, the merry-go rounds, the tin typo galleries, the miniature circuses, and in short everything in which the heart of the small boy and diminutive maiden is supposed to rejoice. One masch is typical of all. You enter the entrance street with out being expected to pay any fee and find yourself in a wide lane with con fectionery and bakery booths on each side. The candy is rather doubtful except to tho German small boy, who has but this annual chance, as a gen eral thing, for tasting sweets, and to whom it is a very heaven of saccharine delight; the cakes are excellent, how ever, as they are all over Germany. Chief among them is a sort of huge "pop-over," light as a feather. It is called "eirkranz," and is made only at the time of the masch. It must be eaten hot and is devoured in vast quan tities. The first street at right ftngles from the entrance lane is the street of the tin-type and shooting gallery fiend. Ihe tin-type man does not differ es sentially from his brother at our own county fair, though he takes better pictures; but the shooting gallery is far ahead of its American cousin. Be hind a counter on which numerous j air-guns are laid, stand a half dozen pretty girls attired in fantastic cos tumes, aud oach seeks to attract men who may be victims to her modern .bow. That the Dianas are pretty suc cessful in their unceasing importuni ties is evinced by the constant pop, popping, which one hears on every side. A large canvas is stretched about fifteen feet behind the maidens, aud upon it are displayed every con ceivable form of target, every one of which it is almost impossible to miss, for the vanity of the customer must be cultivated if continued patronage is to be assured. Every one of these targets gives forth a beating of drums or a ringing of bells when struck, so the din may be imagined. Near the shooting booths fire the cftnvfts palaces inhabited by the fat woman; tho genuine African Zulu, who speaks when caught unawares with a strong German accent; the museum of wnx images of living and dead celebrities; the stsreopticon views of famous events, and other shows of the kind which a country boy in America is familiar with at the fair in his own county, for none of the usual attractions aro missing. The entrance fee is ten or twenty pfen nings. Perhaps tho most popular thing on the grouud is the merry-go round. There are a dozen forms of it. Some are in tho form of real rockiug ships propelled in a circle by machin ery, but most of them are the ordi nsry hobby horses of our childhood fixed on a circular platform which is made to revolve by horse power. There aro patent springs also which are adjused to small boats in such a way that the boats hanging from ropes are swung to and fro in the air like huge pendulums. These are called "American air chariots," aud attract a great deal of custom —for anything coming from America is supposed to bo not only novel, but the best of its kind. Of course in, about and around nil these amusements is heard the blare of the brass baud. Your good German would not believe he was having a good time unless he was hearing music, no matter what else he might j be doing, aud therefore the band is very much in evidence. But here is another starting poiut of difference from our county fairs. The band is almost always a very good one, and the music well worth listening to. Nearly every German is more or less of a musician, and while he will tol erate a good deal of persinal discom fort he will not submit to having poor music blared in his ears. In the centre of tho temporary town there is erected an immense tent, with open sides, which will hold '2500 people. Small tables abound, aud there are seats for the number men tioned. <>u a platform at one end is an admirable baud, which plays both popular aud classical music, which in 1 Germany iH popular in another sense, | all day ami all evening. Numerous , "niadeheus" in picturesque national peasant c istnmoH serve AH waiters. At i a table sits a delegation of students from the city Polyteahnicuru, or technical school, who start a chorus wlr iiever the bind plays a studcut ' oug, which, t i please them, for their , putrounge i-, valuable, the proprietor frcqnon'ly orders. They nil sing well, and as other people who arn not students, but who sing even better, catch the infection and speedily join in, the effect is very pretty indeed. All this time the fun goes rompin ' r on all over the grounds as well as m tho pavilion, bat seldom or never is there an angry word exchanged, and the few policemen who are scattered about consequently havo little to do except onjoy themselves. It is long pnst midnight when the crowd finally makes up its mind togo home, and this for a people that is usually in bed by 10 o'clock measures a fearful amount of dissipation. As the orderly but merry groups tread the leafy streets numerous snatches of song are heard, eloquent testimony of tho thoroughness with which th« singer, be it man or maid, has enjoyed tho day's or evening's outing at tho "masch."—New York Tribune. SCIENTIFIC AM) INDUSTRIAL. Sulphuric acid will removo groaso spots from wall paper. The mean annual temperaturo of the Arctic regions is below thirty de grees Fahrenheit. The starfish has no nose, but the whole of its underside is endowed with the sense of smell. Tho sassafras is the only survivor of a race of trees which at a former pe riod was common over both hemi spheres.

Measured by our time standard, there are forty years of constant day light, followed by forty years of un broken night, around the polos of Uranus. And the sun rises in the west and sets in the east there. That cats will occasionally hunt for butterflies has been affirmed by a British periodical, and recently ob served by Dr. Jentick, of Holland. They have also been seen jumping after, catching and eating grasshop pers apparently with a relish. Sir William Thomson is forced to conclude that the hitherto supposed connection between terrestrial mag netic storms and sun spots has no ex istence, aud that the seeming agree ment between the periods is a mere coincidence and nothing more. A scientist has recently published the result of his studies of the rela tions between many mites and certain ants in whose nests they are boarders. A strange case is that of a species which lives habitually in a spider's web in harmonious relations with tho otherwise ferocious host. London has an anuual average rain fall of but twenty-five inches; Paris, twenty-two inches; Manchester, thir ty-six inches, and Edinburgh, thirty eight inches, while Boston shows forty-six inches; New York, forty-five inches ; Philadelphia, forty-one inches and Chicago, thirty-six inches. A scientist, discussing the canals of Mars, is disposed to accept the view that only the middle of tho canals i3 water, and that the great width of the visible dark lines is probably due to a fringe of vegetation. Indeed, he sug gests the possibility that ono ravine may carry two rivers flowing in oppo site directions. Recent experiments by Mr. Kunz prove that the diamond emits light when rubbed on wood, cloth or metal. Tho fact that it becomes luminous by rubbing on metal shows that the phe nomenon is not electric. As imitation diamonds and other hard stones do not exhibit this phenomenon, tho property will be valuable as an easy test of the genuineness of the dia mond. Shooting stars aro small cosmic bodies generally weighing only a few grammes, often much less, and com posed mainty of iron and carbon. They travel in swarms through space, aud, like comets, move around the sun in very elongated ellipses. When these cross the path of the earth, shooting stars become visible. They are not luminous in themselves. Their brill iancy is the result of the transforma tion of their rapid motion into heat. WISE WORDS. Old age is youth magnified. Never trust a woman half way.

There is no rest for the man who does nothing to make himself tired. A wise man is one who knows when his prejudices are loading him astray.

I|£ Tail Docking Prohibited. The Legislature of Massachusetts lias passed a stringent law against the practice of docking horses, says the Springfield Republican. It was ap proved by Governor Greenhalge. The important sections are as follows : Section 1. Whoever cuts the bone of the tail of any horse for the purpose of docking the tail, or whoever causes or knowingly permits it to be done upon the premises of which he is owner, lessee, proprietor, or user, or whoever assists in or is present at such cutting, shall be punished by im prisonment in the jail not exceeding one year or by fine of not less than SIOO nor more than S3OO. Sec. 2. If a horse is found with its tail so cut and with the wound re suiting from such cutting unhealed upon the premises of any person, such facts shall be prima facie evidence that the person who occupies or has the use of the premises on which sucb horse is so found has committed th« offense described in section 1. Sec. 3. If a horse is found with his tail so cut, with the wound resulting from such cutting unhealed, in the charge or custody of any person, such facts shall bo prima facie evidence that the person having the charge oi custody of such horse has committee the offense charged in section 1. This ought to make it difficult tc dock a horse within the borders ot the State, but it cannot restore muti lated horses to their original condi tion, nor will it prevent the taking of horses outside of the State to be docked. But it is something to have Massachusetts declare against this barbarism and to insist that it cannot be perpetrated within her borders. The German kindergarten, A kindergarten in Germany has al ways a plot of ground, however small, where the children plant seeds and tend their own plants until the seeds are stored in the autumn. This is made a very delightful ond useful feature in all parts of that country, but the plan is practiced at the Pesta lozzi-Froebel House, in Berlin, on a specially line and large scale. The work of this ktndergarten is under the patronage of Empress Frederika, and it has the immediate supervision of Frau Henrietta Breyman Scbrader, a niece of Froebel's. The three-story house, which is in the heart of the city, is built with an inner court, which contains a playground and a garden.

She is under the impression each child had a separate garden of flowers. There were rose bushes and lilacs, and with the flowering shrubs, currant bushes and gooseberries, and other small fruits, all skilfully ar ranged with most beautiful eflect. A vine covered the high brick partition dividing this ground from the neigh boring enclosures in a way to add beauty to the whole scene. Back of the garden is a chicken yard, with a wire screen between, where the chil dren could watch the mother hens with their young broods, getting many lessons from this observation.—New York Advertiser.

He was traveling with a party of good fellows on the Canadian Pacific Railway. On that road the passengers are supplied with a most interesting little book giving the name of every town through which they pass, with nice little bits of informa tion as to what may be seen there and for what the town and surrounding country are noteworthy. The Morton party observed after the name of a station where the train was to stop the statement, "Here bear may be found."
