Utilizing Sewage.

Various attempts have been made to
extract from sewage the organic matter
it contains. Among these, that which
is known as the method by phosphates
appears to have been successfully APP
piled at Tottenham and Leicester, in
England. The phosphate in question
is prepared by the action of dilute ny
drochloric or sulphuric acid on a pull
verified phosphate of alumina, found in
the West Indies. The soluble phos-
phate thus formed is powerful anti
septic and disinfectant, and on being
properly diluted and added to the sew.
age water in reservoirs where it can be
perfectly tranquil, slowly precipitates
all the solid organic matter held in
suspension. At the same time it com.
pletely deodorizes the water, purifying
1t so perfectly that, according to Prof
Letheby, fishes can live in it. and it will
stand through the hot summer weather
without putrefying or emitting a disa
greeable odor.

A freak of an oil well, near Titusville,
Penn, is thus recorded in recent
number of the Titusville Courier: The
we'll had been sunk for about 20 days,
but continually poured forth such
volume of gas that it was found impos-
sible to pump it, as the valves would not
work. The tubing was pulled and the
we'll was cased, in order TO let the gas
blow off. SO that it might be pumped.
After the casing was put in, the sand
pump was lowered for the purpose of
agitating the well, when the gas raised
column of water, throwing a solid
stream into the air hundred feet. The
noise was terrific, and could be heard
for a distance of more than two miles.
The noise was something like the loud
roar of thunder, and when the column
burst at the top it threw the water each
way for ID rods from the well. The
water was exhausted in about % min
utes, and then column of gas followed,
rising With tremendous force so feet
above the derrick. The outpouring of
the gas makes roaring noise that can
be distinctly heard for two miles from
the well. No tools can be put into the
we'll AS soon as the attempt is made,
with such force does the gas come out
that the tools are carried into the air.
The stream of gas shows no signs of
diminishing, and its loud and continu-
GUS roar can be heard for miles around.

The Horse Race-When Did it Come
to America

Correspondence of the Louisville Courier.
have recently made trip to Rock
castle river, on the Lebanon Branch
railroad, to see reported horse-tracks in
a solid rock, made millions of years ago,
and sure enough there they were both
grown and colt tracks, as we'll defined,
from the frog TO the center OF the hoof,
as if recently made in the soft earth.
That this rock, like all rocks in which
toads, trees and other objects are found
inclosed, was once soft, cannot be
doubted, for in some of these tracks the
slip of the foot is perfect, and where
this is the case the margin is ele-
waited. by the showing up of a pliable
material, as might be expected. This
rock is of the most compact sandstone
and glazed over with iron, is some ten
feet square, three feet thick, and rests
at dip from north TO south of say 20
degrees. 1t is known by the natives as
the Horse rock and is to be found in
the bed of creek two miles up Rock
castle river from Livington's Station.
1t is too heavy to be moved and too
hard to cut, or the writer would, las he had
hoped 10 do, have brought 1t 10 the
library in Louisville, where everybody
might see for themselves. This curl
osity is reported for the benefit of geol.
ogists besides, it is startling fact in
the face of biologists and historians
who have asserted that no horse ever
existed in America till imported from
Europe

Female Beauty.

In Peru the longest ears are consid-
cred the handsomest, and as a great
mark of beauty in females. Some PEG.
pie stain their teeth black and some
red, and in Ba que the women do not
consider themselves fit to be brides un.
til they have shaved their heads close
to the skin.
The Mexican women rejoice in low
foreheads and very thick heads of hair,
the blacker the better, and the coarser
it is the higher the appreciation, while
the Italians venerate red, golden and
light hair The Spaniards fancy slight,
slender figures in their women the
Italians, on the contrary, are fond of full
developments of limb and figure. The
Orientals and Westerns are also at com.
plete antipodes as to the manner in
which they interpret beauty and what
relates To it. The Eastern women use
yellow cosmetics, while the French and
English dread that tinge in their com.
plexion. The Asiatic, whether of China
or Siam, is delighted with the olive skin
and high cheek bones of the Mongo-
liam women.-HaLPS journal of Health.

How Mr.. Seward Did Not Draw Re-
yOlyer on TOOmbs.

Not long ago gentleman was telling
me a Senatorial anecdote of and dating
back to the ante-bellum days. Mr.. Sew.
ard had made speech something
about the telegraph J, when Mr.. Toombs,
of Georgia, arose TO reply, and made a
speech full of personal abuse of Seward.
He wrought himself up into a rage, and
dashed about in the most aggressive
manner he finished and took his seat
AS Mr.. Seward rose from his chair
every eye was bent upon him with the
greatest anxiety.
With calm, measured steps he walked
toward Mr.. Toombs. 1t was noticed
that his right hand was Underneath the
rear pocket of his coat. There was APP.
prehension that he was concealing a
pistol, and Mr. Toombs friends crowded
around him. When Mr.. Seward reached
him he drew out his hand, and opening
his snuff. box politely invited his adver
sary to take a pinch of snuff My
God J" said Mr.. 1oombs, Mr.. Seward,
have you no feelings ?'' "Take pinch
of snuff; it will soothe your agitation"
He then returned to his seat, and, with.
out any allusion to Mr.. Toombs or his
speech, made an able argument in favor
OF his measure, which carried, as cool.
ness and selfpossession will always win
the victory over hot temper and passion.

her parental solicitude and maternal
Remarkable Phenomenon.

The Titusvile Courier of the 9th ult
gives the following interesting particu
lars of the Newton well. six miles north
of that city: 1t has been down about
twenty days, and has continuously
poured forth such a volume OF gas that
it was found mp )ssible 10 pump 1t, as
the valves would not work. The tubing
was pulled Wednesday and the we'll was
cased in order To let the gas blow of,
so that it might be pumped. After the
casing was put in, the sand pump was
lowered for the purpose of agitating the
well, and the ga raised column of
water, throwing solid stream into the
air hundred feet. The noise was ter.
rife, and could be heard for a distance
of more than two miles. The noise
was something like the loud roar of
thunder, and when the column burst at
the top it threw the water each way for
fftee rods from the well. The water
was exhausted in about twenty-five
minutes, and then a column of gas fol
lowed, rising with tremendous force
fifty feet above the derrick. The out
pouring of the gas makes roaring
noise that can be distinctly heard for
two miles from the well. The noise
around sounds like the rushing of a
whirlwind. The column can be seen a
mile from the well. No tools can be
put into the well. AS soon as the at
tempt is made, with such force does the
gas come out that the tools are carried
into the air. From descriptions of eye
witnesses this is probably the greatest
gas well ever struck in the oil region.
Up to last evening the gas showed no
signs of being exhausted. The people
in that vicinity are very much alarmed,
and the cattle run about the fields per-
fectly wild with fright.

Nor few people there are who fancy

his residence Cheltenham,A England.
IT is stated, in letter from Prague,
that the damage done by the floods in
Bohemia is estimated at nearly 10000
600 of forms, one of the most fertile
districts in the country having been de-

that the people. most of whom were in
their beds, had no time to escape, and
about 700 persisted. Hundreds ofhouses,
too, were carried away, and railway
bridges and embankments destroyed.
WE have not forgotten the famous
case of Count Chorinski, son of the Gov
ernor of Vienna, and Julia Ebergenyi,
who were condemned for having pois-

Count died few months ago In an in.
sane hospital, where he had been inn

turn, Just been conveyed to mad
house. She had feigned insanity for a
long time, but the news of the death of
the Count made her insanity real.

Germany,s War Speculation.

The war expenses of the German
Empire, in its recent "raid " into
France, were S277, 100000, while its
cash indemnity from France amounts
to 81 ,244, 200, 900, or, including tax-pay-
ing value of Alsace and Lorraine, to
81 100000. This leaves net cash
profit to Germany on the war of 81 ,l62,.
10000, or nearly five millions of dollars
day for every day of the war. The
utmost that had ever before been done
was to make war pay its expenses out
of the enemy. But since the incursions
of the hardy and vigorous Goths and
Vandals into decrepit and demoralized
Rome, there has been no such mag
nificent return even from wars Of con-
quest. The Franco-German war being
war of self.defense on the part OF
Germany, and of aggression on that of
France, the net result is all the more
astounding.

The Earth Opens and Swallows up a
Team Of Horses.

The community in the neighborhood
Of Joseph Doors, in Snake Spring Val.
ley, Bedford county, Pa, was thrown
into fever of excitement on Friday
by a report that the earth had suddenly
opened and swallowed two horses be.
longing to Mr.. Boor. Several of the
neighbors repaired to the spot, only to
find the story too true. 1t seems that
two sons of Mr.. Boor were engaged in
hauling rails from piece of woodland,
and as they were driving along at a Ger
tain spot, without any warning, the
ground suddenly gave way under one
of the horses and he disappeared, drag
ging the other animal after him.
The boys were terribly frightened and
gave the alarm. Ropes were provided
and several gentlemen descended into
the cavern. One horse was found lodged
about twenty feet from the surface,
where the cavity changed direction,
and the other about thirty feet under
ground. The extent OF the opening
has not been ascertained, but from the
indications it seems almost bottomless
