THE GREAT ..DESERT.n

"Grace Greenwood" writing to the New
York Times, speaks in the following terms
of the attempts made to cultivate crops on
the plains of the far west
agricultural enterprise is steadily pushing
its way on the plains redeeming acre after
acre from the loneliness and unfruitfulness
of ages. Very far out on the prairie the
Kansas Pacific Railroad company are trying
various important experiments in cultivating
the soil without irrigation, and with quite
satisfactory results. The dull, sad earth, SO
long subject to the hard pounding of bison
hoots, laughs out in bloom and verdure, un-
der the gentle hand of industry. Corn and
potatoes are doing well, and there are thriv-
ing nurseries of various forest trees, where
tree has never grown since the great seas SUBJ
sided and the ice drifts melted slowly away
under thousand suns. Most fl4Qrishing of
all is, greve to say, the alianthus, called in
horrible irony ''the tree Of heaven" We
encountered no buffalo on the second days
journey, but we saw immense herds of Texas
cattle-far more agreeable objects than those
tremendous and ugly brutes who used to
thunder over these vast plains in mighty bat

A Very Rare Disease.

There exists on record in medicine only
one case of enormous overgrowth of all the
bones of the body with wasting of the mus
cles. 1t was observed by Saucerotte. An
other case, however, of this kind, as described
by Prof. friedrich in Virchow's Archsu, pos
sesses peculiar interest. Saucerotte's case
was that of man aged thirty-nine years,
the weight of whose body rose, in the space
of four years, from 119 to 178 pounds, by the
increase of his bones, the muscles all the
while wasting. The head of this man was
enormous, his eyes being pushed forward to
the level of his forehead, and the lower jaw
attaining an immense thickness. Attacks Of
insensibility and difficulty of breathing char
acterized his complaint. Mr.. Friedrich has
described his patient as man of twenty six
years, being one of six children, all of healthv
habit, except the youngest exhibiting minor
form of the same affection. At eighteen he
began to find his feet and ankles growing
large and heavy, then the hands and fingers,
the lower and upper limbs becoming of enor-
NOUS size, due entirely to the growth of the
bones, the muscles being wasted standing,
walking and lying, all dif1cult the internal
organs healthy, and no disturbance of the
brain; medicines Intellectual, except some
comfort from cold baths.

The House wife Of the Future.

The New York Tribune says: We have
before mentioned with pleasure and appro-
baton the club of young ladies in Boston
which gives its winters to the weekly hearing
of wisdom from the lips of poets and philo-
sophers. Pretty is the picture of all those
fair disciples sitting at the feet of such a
Gamalel as Mr.. Emerson, but we submit that
far prettier one is that which We now get
of them in the kitchen. For there they are.
Dropping books for buns, philosophy for
the frying pan. metaphysics for mutton, art
for apple-pie, they are on the high road to
such accomplishments as the widest dreams
Of the most unmitigated old bachelor could
not have foretold. Every week each gentle
member of the club contributes something to
feast, breakfast, dinner or supper, given at
the house of one of them, and many and
merry are the rivalries in the preparation OF
that ambrosial food. So successful have
been the efforts of these charming amateur
cooks, that one of them is about to publish
the recipes embodying the most delicious re-
suits of their experiments. A Cook Book
for Girls-beautiful thought! Blessings on
the maiden who complies it! Ideas, oh,
Soyer, ledd her! Shade of Savarin attend
her! All sad housekeepers befriend her

Another Printing Press.

A correspondent of the New York World,
writing from London, says that Mr.. Hoe and
Mr. Conquest, the London manager of Mr.
Hoes works, after fifteen years endeavors,
| have succeeded in perfecting "Perfecting
Printing Machine" the last difficulty, which
was the perfect delivery of the printed sheets
from the press, having been recently sur
mounted. The inventors and constructors
| really believe that in this machine they have
attained to perfection, and some others in the
printing business appear to think so too.
The new press is claimed to be an improve
ment upon the Walter the Bullock, the Mar
ronnetti, and all other printing presses in ex-
istence. The cylinders are so wide Qong)
that each will print two copies at once, the
roll of paper being made double width, and
the paper being cut in two by very ingen-
ious device just before delivery. This must
double the numerical capacity of the machine.
The sheets are delivered perfectly, being laid
down in piles so accurately as to present the
appearance of having been put into press
and trimmed. The Walter press requires a
change of blanket every two hours. This
new press needs no such change, and the
whole force required to attend it is two men
and boy. The saving of wages between
this and the ordinary ten cylinder Hoe press
is as fifteen to eighty-four.
The first OF these presses in work is owned
by Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, and its accom-
plishment of $4,000 copies in sixty minutes
was witnessed at Lloyds paper mills at Bow,
the last day of July, by a number of expert
enced newspaper men, including the propri-
etor and engineer of the Daily Telegraph
office, and, says the correspondent, never was
there better printing.
The London Times uses the Walter press,
so do the Scotsman and New York Times.
The representatives of the Daily Telegraph,
which has ''the largest circulation in the
world" must have been enamored of the new
press, for that firm has ordered ten, at a cost
of s3,500 each, or 935, 900 total Engines
and other machinery to run these ten presses
will swell the expenses to 100000 in gold.
The ten presses can be constructed in ten
months, and within year, with all running
at once, the Daily Telegraph will be able to
run off 100000 copies in an hour. Rather
rapid work.
At present the establishment of that paper
is represented as being near perfection, never
theless new buildings in the rear of the pres
ent premises are to be erected for the new
machines, by which, Notwithstanding the
great cost, the owners expect to save $75, 900
year, in addition to the advantage of going
to press at a. M, instead of at midnight.

MONTE AND MUSCLE.
Gang of Gamblers Conquered by q
Cattle DrOver.

From the Denver Tribune.
An old drover from the far-off plains of
Texas got upon the Kansas Pacific train at
Ellsworth with the intention of going to
Kansas City. There also got on the train at
the same station two cattle Dealers one of
them a short, muscular little fellow who plays
the most prominent part in this affair. A
party of three of those pestiferous thieves
known to all Western railroads-monte gam
blers-soon made their presence known, and
in few m4ments pocketed the drover's last
twenty dollar note. 1t was at this juncture
that the above mentioned little cattle man in
terfered in the old drover's behalf, when the
monte men arrogantly told him to mind his
hint, word led to word, and words to blows.
The cattle droyer managed to put in Sc
ries of scientific sedge-hammer blows, which
soon sent the monte thief bowling and bleed
ing over the Seats The other monte men
joined in to take hand, when the other
cattle drover met them. and in short time
punished them fearfully. Finding them
selles beaten, they retreated at the muzzles
of the cattle mems revo]vers to the sleeping
car, and locked themselves up in the draw
ing-room, drew their revolvers and knives,
and bade defiance to further attack
A council of war was held in the front
Car, when it was agreed that the monte men
should be permitted to hold the sleeping car
until the train reached Salina, where Sher-
ifs posse had been telegraphed for. But
this arrangement was not satisfactory to the
brave little drover. He had resolved upon
recovering the old mans money, and ap-
peared to treat with contempt the knives and
pistols pointed at the windows of the draw
ing-room. After washing off the blood from
his face and hands, he walked boldly into
the sleeping-ca where the three gamblers,
driven to bay, stood watch within the locked
glass door. With a huge navy revolver in
each hand, the young man dashed open the
door Of the den, and pointed his cooked re-
volvers at the astonished gamblers, coolly de-
manding the old drover's lost money.
Finding that he was determined to have it,
and seeing the passengers closing in with
cooked revolvers, the gamblers gave up the
money. This did not satiyfy the drover.
he now demanded the surrender of all the
knives and pistols in their possession. After
some parleying the arms were given up and
the monte men held under guard until the
train rolled into Salina, where Sheriff's
posse awaited them with bracelets and
guard of honor. They were taken from the
train and escorted to Jail.

Sam Houston.

The romance of Senator Houston's life is
hardly known to the present generation, yet
it contained enough to furnish material for
half score of novels. His escape from his
mother, when at the age of seventeen, he fell
madly in love with the Indian maiden Too
tooloo (Sun- flash, and, following her to her
home, adopted the habits of the CherOkees,
married her, and for three years, under the
name of Oolooteka, hunted and fshed and
fought as young Indian brave and acknowl-
edged chief; his unexpected return to his
family, grown during his absence, though
still wanting six months of his legal MAJ jority,
to that heroic stature which then, dressed in
hunting shirt anu moccasins and blanket and
head-gear, and even afterward, however
clothed, made him man of mark his aban-
donment, sixteen years later in life, while
Governor of Tennessee, when his early
pranks had been forgotten in his successes
as lawyer and triumphs as politician, of
his young and accomplished bride the day
after marriage; his resignation of Office, and
winding up his business, and settlement of
affairs, with the utmost deliberation, against
the most earnest entreaties of friends and
j jeers of foes his securing by deed all his
not inconsiderable property to his mother;
his return, as an Indian chief. to the wilder
ing three years longer with his tribe; and
his sudden departure, at last, for Texas, for
the purpose of becoming herdsmen on the
prairies-all show clearly enough the large
element of savagism there was in his charac-
ter. And yet he was superbly endowed by
nature; was great soldier, lawyer, states
man; possessed an executive ability unsur-
passed, whether as Governor or Senator, was
the most popular of men and in polished
society was its ornament and delight.-Ap-

This G. O0d Globe is OF q bali of Liquid
Fire-HOW 1T Became SOlldlfied.

Prof Dana, in the American Journal of Philosophy.
1t seems now to be demonstrated by as
Economical and physical arguments-argu-
ments that are independent, it should be
noted, of direct geological observation-that
the interior of the globe is essentially solid.
The condition of the earth's interior here
recognized is, as many readers will have OBJ
served, that suggested long ag" by Professor
w. Hopkins-the author who first offered
(1839) mathematical argument in favor of
the earth's either having very thick crust
or being solid throughout. In paper on
Theories of Elevation and Earthquakes" in
1847, Professor Hopkins argues that the CEN
trail mass of the earth became solid in con-
sequence Of the pressure whenever the tenn
perature within reached a limit that permit
ted of it; that crusting at surface from cool
ing commenced afterward; and that between
the regions of interior and exterior solidif-
cation there long remained vicious layer,
which, in the progress of time was gradually
contracted by the unton of the solid nucleus
to the thickening shell.
The possibility of solidifcation at centre
from pressure, in the face of temperature
too high for consolidation from cooling, has
not been experimentally demonstrated, yet a
number of facts favor the principle. 1t has
been urged that since the sOlidificatiOn OF
rocks is attended by contraction, that is, by
increase of density, and since pressure tends
to produce that greater density, therefore
pressure may bring about the condition of
the solid. The fact that ice, which has less
density than water, changes to water under
pressure, has been appealed to in support of
the conclusion. The pressure to which the
material within the earth is subjected is so
great that experiment can never initiate it, or
directly test it's effects. Beneath only $50
miles of LIQUID rock, it would not be less
than 1000, 900 of pounds to the square inch.
Less than this may have been sufficient to
produce crystalization, and to give rigidity to
The vicious rock material, or at least so, after
the cooling the earth has undergone. The
rigidity of slowly solidifed rock is beyond
that of glass or steel-or the degree which,
according to Sir William Thompson, must
exist in order that the earth should be as COM
pletely free as it is from tidal movements in
its mass.
According to the above, the solid part of
the globe consists, as regards origin, OF three
parts:
The central mass, consolidated by pres
sure: the sOlidifcation centrifugal, or from
the centre outward. '8
The crust proper, consolidated by cooling
the solidifcation centripedal, or from the sur
face inward.
The outer crust, or superficial coatings-
the uppercrust-made chiefly by the working
over and celebrating of the material of the
surface through external agencies, aided by
the ever-acting lateral force from contrac-
ton, and including all terranes from the
Arch@n upward.
