The horse disease, great a ca
lamity as it has been, has had
one good effect. 1t has awakened
the energies of scientific men to
a determined effort to meet the
great necessity that exists for
some other means of operating
street cars than by horses, and
it is now stated on most reliable
authority that the problem has
been solved. The motive power
is steam but the method of ap-
plication is entirely different
from any heretofore known, and
it secures absolute safety, econo-
my, cleanliness and speed. In
stead of having an engine or
dummy" on the track with fur
mace fires and smoke stack puff
ing and belching out its volumes
of smoke and sparks along the
street, there are placed on each
hne number Of small locomo-
tives, with quiet compound en-
gines. These locomotives are
supplied with movable boilers,
capable of containing about three
hundred gallons of water This
water is heated at the beginning
of each trip, by connecting the
boilers with the stationary fur
mace at the outer depot, and it
is claimed that enough of steam
can thus be furnished to run the
car a distance of nine or ten
miles.

Instinct of Turtles.

Audubon, the naturalist, sta
ted that at certain places on the
coast of Florida, sea-turtles
those huge, stolid-looking rep
tiles ON which aldermen are fed
at the expense of the tax payers,
possess an extraordinary faculty
offinding places. Working their
way up out of the reach Of tide
water with their flippers, quite a
deep hole is excavated, in which
a batch ofeggs are deposited and
then carefully covered up. On
reaching the water they not un-
frequently swim three hundred
miles out at sea, foraging for ap-
propriate food. When another
batch of eggs are developed,
after lapse of about fourteen
days, they will return unerringly
in a direct line, even in the re-
moving Of the sand, more are
deposited and secured. Away
they go again, as before. They
instinctively know the day and
hour when the young brood, in
cubated by solar rays, will break
the shell, and are promptly at
the spot to liberate them from
their prison. AS soon as'fairly
out ofthe hole, the mother turtle
leads them down the bank to
the waves, and there ends her
parental solicitude and maternal
duties. .gsie u 4. uI

Boston and Chicago.

While the losses by the Bos-
ton fire have been SO large as to
have a perceptible effect on the
business of the whole country,
they will not fall as severely
upon Boston as the Chicago
losses fell upon Chicago. The
destroyed property at Chicago
was heavily mortgaged, and a
large proportion of the mortgages
were held in Boston; but the
property destroyed by the Bos-
ton fire was all owned in Boston.
In other words Boston owned
itself, and a part Of Chicago,
while Chicago owned only a part
of itself. Boston was q great
reservoir of accumulated wealth.
The assessed value of its real
estate for taxable purposes for
1872 was $443,283,450, and the
assessed value Of its personal
property 239,440,85O. The in
crease in the value of real estate
over the previous year was $48,-
068,5O0, and the, increase in
personal property was $21, ,992,-
250. The total real and per-
sonal property was $682, ,724,30O
which is three times as great as
the total taxable wealth of Chi
cago, although Chicago had a
considerably larger population
than Boston. There is no city
in the Union, New York not ex-
cepted, that is as able to bear
this calamity as Boston. That
it will recover from it there is nc
doubtr-not, perhaps, with the
surprising Western vigor of Chi
cago, but with a no less stead.
fast resolution and advancement
1t possesses its own peculiar and
strongly marked character as a
centre of ideas, learning, wealth
and art. 1t has impressed its
character upon half the country
indeed it has left it's mark upor
the habits and institutions of the
whole country, and it will have
the lively sympathy of the whole
country in it's great disaster.

DO Flies Spread Disease.

A writer in the Washington
Star asks: Has it never oc-
Cured to your mind that flies
have something to do with the
spread of small pox? This season
they are everywhere, in utterly
unlimited numbers, and, aided
by the wind, probably there are
no greater visitors in the world.
Clean and dirty houses are alike
filled with them. The most in
genious devices of housekeepers
fail to expel or exterminate them.
1t is hardly possible to exclude
them from the hospital or the
sick chamber, and the small pox
patient is the recipient Of their
provoking attention. Escaping
from the chamber of the sick,
they are blown about, with the
virus of this loathsome disease
upon their wings and legs, and
then perchance light on some
person constitutionally suscepti-
BILE to take the disease, and who
may accidentally have the in
cision by which it may be con-
veyed, Ifyou have a scratch or
a cut upon the face, the flies are
sure to seek it out and lightupon
it. In this wise, against all pre-
cautions of the widely-abused
board of health and Of the public,
may not the small pox be spread
by flies.
