An Ok Mill.

In Sherman, Texas, says correspond
ent, we saw for the first time an OK mill
for grinding wheat into flour. 1t wa
great novelty, and reminded us OF the
dog-churn days of boyhood, when faith
| ful Watch" the time honored house
dog, and the writer hereof used to tramp
together on the tread, to make the wheel
60 around, that the churn dashsr might
be sent up and dowa till butter was
made. That was years ago, but the
memory of, those days fingers like an nm
eventful dream. Here we found an old
brown building. In it was the machine
ry ofa grist mill complete. just out
side the main portion, but under cover,
was the motive power-seven l'lg horn
ed, subdued Texas steers, chewing their
cuds as they lazily climbed a great
wheel fifty feet across, and ground out
three thousand pounds Of supertine flour
every day Of the year.
These OK mills are quite numerous IN
the South, and are profitable institutions,
by the way. About half a dozen oxen
will keep the great wheel in motion, and
turn out as fine an article OF flour as
can be procured by water or steam pow
er. Just outside of the mill in an en-
closure were several other cattle waiting,
but in no hurry for the hour when they
were to go marching on, while their
fellows should rest. We saw the cngl-
neer of the establishments as he was wood
ing with fork full Of new mown hay,
and when we asked if his cngincs ever
blew up he gazed upon us with a look
of admiration that 4 less observant man
might have taken for disgust.

ISan Francisco Chroniclc:l
Backwoods Genius.

A caveat was recently hled III ths
Patent Office at Washington for a new
motive power, which, in the opinion o.
experienced engineers and scientific gen
tlemen, will not only supplant the pres
,ent steam engines, but largely increase
the uses to which machinery can be ap
piled. Strange to say, this invention is
the product of a boy but eighteen years
ofage, who was born and reared in the
.backwoods Of Oregon.
Frank G. Crouch is the name of the
Young genius. His father settled on
farm in Douglas county over twenty
years ago, and the only educational ad
vantases enjoyed by the young man
were those afforded by the country
school. At very early age he demon
strated a wonderful ingenuity in the
construction of wind-mills and water,
wheels. Natural philosophy and chem
istry we're his favorite studies, and not
only faithfully followed in school, but
fairly reveled in out of school hours.
Up to four years ago he had never
seen a telegraphic instrument. Cpcn
his return home he constructed an IN
strument, made battery, and IN rude
way could telegraph with it. He came
near losing his life at-this period, from
the strength of battery which he had
constructed, received. shock which lald
him up for month. In this connection
It may be stated that this young man
has perfected a system whereby mes
sases may be sent, and received on board
a train Of cars, whether standing still or
moving at the rate of fifty miles an hour.
This system render collisions lmpossl-
BILE, and greatly reduces the chances OF
accidents of all kinds. 1t has been test
ed on twelve miles Of road, and found
to work like a charm.
Another Of his inventions, from which
his friends and practical machlnlsts ex-
pect great results, is selfregulatInS
' 1water-feed to be earplied to boilers. The
great majority of explosions are caused
bv the water getting low through the
carelessness IF engineers. BY this ar.
rangemcnt tie water in the boiler will
always be KEEP at certain height, rem
dering explosions impossible, requiring
no attention from the engineer, and dis
pensing with steam gauges. !
Among all the inventions: TO which
this young man has applied his atten-
ton, the one which he was most desir-
GUS of bringing before the public was
his new steam engine.
The merit claimed for the new engine
is that by it steam is converted into a
wonderful expansive gas. by being SUI
per-heated in combination with air, thus
giving to a comparatively small engine
great power. BY this arrangement the
main obstacle which has prevented the
application of machinery to many pur-
poses will be overcome, and the steam
Carriage for common roads made practl-
cal. A great saving in fuel, as well as
weight, is also secured by the invention
of young Crouch. The engine and boil
er are combined, and an engine Of forty
horse power will not take up a space OF
six square feet.

"FouRrEEN years for stealing a horse
and five years for killing a man, is It the
schedule Of penalties in Texas" This
looks little curious at the first blush
but YOU must remember that while a
horse will cost hundred dollars IN
Texas, YOU can buy man-a member
of the Legislature, for lnstancc-tor
one-third Of the amount.
A Danbury mans highest ambi-
aion is to get money enough to buy
place in the hearts in the hearts
of his countrymen.

served to the trap. "And 1 spring

For centuries it has been known that
the precious metals which we exchange
for articles exported from Asiatic coun-
tries disappear from circulation. The
question where do they go to is answered
when we know that gold and silver or
naments arc much desired by these semi,
barbaric people. The females Of Hin
.doostan alone are said to possess $780,
100000 worth Of gold ornaments.
