The PRAIRIE DoGs.-Every traveller
across the plains is anxious to see the 'Prai-
rie Dog" and the famous "Dog Towns,"
and every one has many opportunities to be
gratiAed in this respect. The prairie dog
is essentially squirrel; it has been called
the "Prairie Dog" from its habit OF barking.
Coming to one of the dog towns we see
large number of little mounds six inches or
foot high, and on the summit of each one
perhaps, sits dog resting on its launches
aud rather carelessly holding up its fore
legs, and not unfrequently barking. If
alarmed, it quickly pops into its hole, but
soon begins to come out again, led no doubt,
by curiosity to see what is going on. But
so tame have many of them become that
they scarcely seem disturbed by the rush.
ing train. One wonders at first how those
animals can establish themselves on the
dry plains, where it seldom rains, and where
it is long distance to spring or stream
Of water. For surely they cannot do with.
out water in some form, and it is not prob.
able that they make long journeys daily or
periodically to obtain it. We cannot sup.
pose they get the water from the dews, for
the dews are slight here, when there are any
at ALL 1t will be noticed that very many
of the large "dog towns" are in places
where low cactus grows, and it is more
than probable that the presence or abund
ance of this plant determines the situation
of the town. The cactus probably furnish
es the moisture for these curious animals.
1 have heard it said that the prairie dog
digs down until it reaches water, but sm
not aware that there is any proof of this.
Although we saw plenty Of prairie dogs
we did not see the owls and rattlesnakes
which take up their abode with them
By the way, l think it may well be doubted
that the above named animals constitute
"happy family" 1t is more than probable
that the owl and rattlesnakes are regarded
as real intruders, as indeed they are, but
are tolerated because they cannot be dis
lodged. The owl is unlike any species we
have in the eastern part Of the country, and
the same is true of the rattIesuake. 1t 10
more than probable that both owl and rat
tlesnake find double inducement to take
up their abode in prairie-dog towns; for
here they are sure to find shelter, and
young prairie dogs may form most pala-
table diet-N. Y. Evening Post.

CONCERNING COLONEL profuse
use of the title, "Colonel," elicits these
remarks from the Philadelphia Post:
"To call man Colonel is to convey
the idea that he is of mild meek and be.
nevolent disposition. 1t is also an evidence
that he never was soldier. For instance,
We may recall some of the Colonels of Phil
adelphia. There is Col Forney, Col. Nc.
Clure, Col. McMichael, Col, Scott, Col
Mann, Colonel Fitzgerald, Colonel Greene,
Colonel Phillips and Colonel Fritz. OF
what regiment? And we might mention
many more gentlemen of high standing
who have never been in the army, and
who can only be called Colonel as trib.
ute to their antipathy to blood. If every
Colonel was soldier, the standing army Of
Philadelphia would be menace to our
liberties. Their number is as great as it
was in San Francisco, to which John Pho.
uix bears witness in the following story -
The steamer was leaving the wharf, and
everybody was taking leave of friends -
all but poor John Phoenix who had moi
friends to bid him farewell. Ashamed
his loneliness, as the boat sheered off, he
called out in loud voice, 'Goodby, Colo
nell and to his great delight, every man on
the wharf took Of his hat aud shouted
Colonel, good-by p"

A NEW AND ECONOMICAL FUEL
WATER USED AS A GENERATOR
OF HEAT.

On Monday and Tuesday afternoon a
large number of citizens, by invitation, WIS.,
tied the brass foundry of Mr. w. I. Gar
rett, on Fremont street, for the purpose of
witnessing some experiments with new
fuel recently invented and patented by DR..
Ireland of Watsonvillo, in this State
They were shown into that portion of the
establishment occupied by the furnaces,
and in one cornsr found brick furnace
some eight feet long and six feet high
On the top of this was an iron tank holding
about ten gallons, which was filled with
crude petroleum from this tank pipe,
about an inch and half in diameter, led
into che side of the furnace small jet of
oil, not larger than small goose quill, was
permitted to flow out of this tube, light
is placed beneath this jet and it immediate
]y ignites; another pipe about an inch in
diameter, leads from steam boiler, station
ed some fifteen feet away. This pipe leads
a small jet of steam upon the burning oils,
and the moment the steam strikes the oil
the oxygen in the water is set free and ig-
mites with roar, generating, in a very few
huOmCuIo d uOSI luUCuoC Tlit6 ucdt. VTOIu
this small source the entire chamber of the
furnace, which is some two feet by five
feet, is filed with a fame SO brilliant and
dazzling that one cannot gaze upon it for
more than moment at time. This flame
possesses all the heat ofan oxy-hy ydrogen
fame, and beneath its fierce pow,r the hard.
est metals melt in few moments.
The inventor of the apparatus by which
the elements of heat, which sature so gen.
erously provides, can be utilized, is a very
modest man, saying that he did not want
to bring his discovery before the public
until he had fully demonstrated that it
would do all he claimed for it. He says
that the cost of his furnaces will be only a
nominal sum-thst they will be within the
reach of every one who owns a quartz
ledge, while the amount of oil consumed
in twenty hours will not exceed ten
gallons, at cost of So. The Doctor has
every confidence in his discovery, and de-
clares his ability to furnish fuel for voy-
age of one Of the Panama steamers, to and
from Panama, for the insignificant sum of
$500, while the entire quantity will not
weigh to exceed twenty-five tons. He fur
ther says that at an expense of $5 per day
he can run furnaces that will smelt one ton
of ore every thirty minutes. Ii only one.
half of what is claimed can be accomplish.
ed, the discovery will prove of incalculable
advantage to the mining interests of the
Pacific Coast, and will create a revolution
in steam travel throughout the world
