These are two photographs of a "turnip," unearthed a little time ago by
a Lancashire farmer. We are indebted for the photographs to Mr. Alfred

This is a photo. of a hock bottle that was washed ashore at Lyme Regis
covered with barnacles, which look like a bunch of flowers. The
photograph has been sent to us by Mr. F. W. Shephard, photographer, Lyme

[Illustration: LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION.]
The drawing, taken from a photo., shows the curious result of a boiler
explosion which occurred some time ago at Soosmezo, in Hungary. The
explosion broke the greater part of the windows in the neighbouring
village, and the cylindrical portion of the boiler, not shown in
drawing, as well as the chimney, were hurled some two hundred yards
away.
