Buffalo Hunting.

The hunters are making sad havoc among
the buffaloes in western Kansas, not far
from the line of Atchison, Topeka and
Sante-Fe railroad. They are found in
great numbers near fork of the Pawnee
river, and are shot down by hundreds every
day. Dodge City is the last station on
this road 1t is about three miles from
Fort Dodge; it was settled about the last
Of September, and consists of about fifty
houses-every one of which, with possibly
two or three exceptions, is store, bill
liard-saloon, rum shop or a dance-hall.
The hunters make this their headquarters.
During two months one firm received over
10000 buffalo hides, for which they paid
from s125 to $3.50 each. Another party
received in ten days ending last month
over 5000 hides. Buffalo meat is very
cheap. The hams sell from one cent to
two cents pound, and are shipped over
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Pc road
to Kansas City and to st. Louis in large
quantities. The fore-quarters cannot be
given away, but are thrown out in the
streets. One merchant had twenty-five
thousand buffalo tongues packed away in
one room waiting shipment to market.
Notwithstanding this wholesale slaughter
the hunters tell of seeing herds miles in
length and almost as countless as the sands
upon the sea shore.

Another Horse Epidemic.


The New York papers report the exist
ence in that city of new. disease Of hors-
es, or rather the development Of a disease
supposed to originate from the seeds oi
the late epizootic, which is said to be more
fatal than the original disease. The pa
pers represent that since the disappearance
Of that epidemic, horses, apparently in
good health have suddenly dropped down
often while in harness, aud died as If Of
apoplexy. Veterinary surgeons call tho
disease eerebro-spinal meningitis. The
suddenness and fatality Of the attacks, and
the paralysis accompanying it, were the
features that seemed to warrant the dag
nosis, and as that disease is almost inevi-
tably fatal, very little study has been
wasted on this new phase Of it. Inquiry
has invariably shown that the horses at.
tackled by the new disease had very severe
cases Of the former epidemic, and it Is
probable that the present trouble is due tc
their having been put TO work too soon
So far the trouble has been most noticed
in truck horses The ear companies and
other large owners Of horses will not admit
loss from it. A large number Of horse.
have died in various parts Of New York
and not few have been killed in the ear
lier stages Of the attack 10 eurtail theil
sufferings.

How Carbolic Acid is Made.

II is truly surprising to contemplate
the variety Of beautiful liquids that are
made of coal-tar. Carbolic acid is the
tar of coal oil, which is found in that
portion of coal-tar that distils over, under
heat of three or four hundred degrees
1t is colorless liquid, Of an oily look, of
a burning taste, and has something of the
smell ofsoot. Hence creosote and carbonic
acid are of the same nature in some of their
effects on wounds resemble those Of the
smoke arising from burning leather, rags,
etc. But in many places liable to accidents
and burns, as on steamboats, and railways,
and in the interior Of the country, where
neither Of them could be possibly obtained,
some old WOODEN rags, or old shoes, could
be got together, and the smoke Of them
concentrated on wounds, bruises, cuts,
crushes and burns, and beef inestimabIe
value, all having the one effect of coagula,
tion.

Pneumatic Tubes.

Mr.. Albert Brisbane, the inventor of the
pneumatic tube, has gone to work at the
construction of one of the tubes from the
Capitol to the Government Printing House,
for which Congress appropriated so, 900
at the last session. The process of opera
ting these tubes is exceedingly simple. In
stead Of a car with four wheels, sphere is
used The sphere is moved by exhausting
the air at one end of the tube, so as to Gre
ate current through it, and this air-cur-
rent pressing against the sphere, which is
two or three inches smaller than the tube,
propels it with great velocity Rapidity
and power are gained by the saving of
friction Mr.. Brisbane claims that books,
documents, and manuscripts will 60 whirl-
ing along through these tubes at the rate
Of 300 miles an hour 1t is also his firm
belief that the day is not far distant when
the pneumatic tubes will be applied to the
