Fish Dying by tho Wholesale al
Lake WinnebagO.

During the month of July there was a
remarkable mortality among the fish in
Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin. The follow
ing fragment of letter from B. S. Heath,
OF Menasha, dated the last of July, gives
the details:
For the last four or FIVE weeks, there has
been accumulating in Lake Winnebago i'm
mense, innumerable and incompatible num-
bers of small particles of something, that to
the naked eye resemble small bits of grass,
moss or seaweed. These particles are of
greenish color and very uniform in size and
appearance. The water of the lake and
outlets, whenever agitated by wind or steam
boats, or falling over the dams, would froth
and foam like soap suds, and emit very
disagreeable odor.
This Singular appearance of the water,
and the disagreeable odor, seemed to be at
its maximum on Friday, the Goth, about
noon of which day innumerable quantities
OF small fish of every variety, tadpoles, liz
ards and crabs, were seen rising to the sur
face of the water in perpendicular position,
apparently gasping for life, and in a moment
would roll upon their sides, dead. Bynight
the shores were lined with these small inhab-
itants of the water. Saturday morning, and
during the day Saturday, the smell from the
water was almost uncomfortable, and fish of a
larger size began to follow in the footsteps
of their smaller neighbors.
Before night, the workmen on the water
power were compelled to shut up their shops
and leave. All hands went to work to re-
move the dead fish, which were accumula-
ting rapidly on the surface of the river and
canal, and probably not less than two or
three hundred wagon loads were locked
through into the lake below. Tue shores of
the outlet, from the lake to the lock town,
are literary lined with dead fish now. 1t is
impossible to compute the numbers. We
can only estimate them by the acre, or the
thousands of wagon loads. Sunday, the
dead fish did not accumulate and the water
had lost its disagreeable odor, aud assumed
nearly its original purity.
Drs. Fay and Bates made an analysis of
quantity of the water, and the little par
ticles before mentioned were found to be a
kind of parasite, having distinct organiza-
tions, though of a low order; and Shiny,
gelatinous consistency, which may have
given the water its soapy appearance.

JOHN G. FREMONT has just completed the
most extensive works ever known in this
country for mining purposes; and few
days since completed railroad four miles in
length, to bring bis quartz from his mine to
bis crushing mills. He has eighty-eight
stampers running night and day, crushing
ninety tons of rock in twenty-four hours,
which pays him about 1925 per ton. leaving
him a net profit of about $4,000. No man
in California has ever shown such indomita-
bic energy and perseverance,.

Mr.. Whitney, in his paper on the "Origin of
the Praries," read before the Scientific Con.
gress, shows that the real cause of the absence
Of aborescent vegetation on the prairies lies in
mechanical conditions of the soil, and in its ex
treme fineness.
Professor Hall, of this city. 10 his inter.
estiog volumes relating TO the geological
survey of Iowa, not only reiuted the COM
mon opinion which attributes the absence
of trees on the prairies to fires that sweep
over them, but advanced ard explained very
fully the theory which Mr.. Whitney now
presents, and showed that the elements OF
the soil, and particularly the fineness Of the
composition, were the causes OF this phe
