Crop Statistics.

THE following is synopsis OF the lead
ing information published in the Ndtt ndt
Cr0D RI porter at indianapolis on the 18TH
Reports from correspondents dated
June 1 indicate severe drought prevail
ing in nearly all portions of the country
east of the Rocky Mountains, as far as
New England, with more or less damage
to the growing crops in most secuons'
Since the date of these reports there have
been very general rains throughout the
country, and it is thought enough to
check all damage on the score OF drought
The condition of the growing wheat in
the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kan
sas, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin was
nearly per cent. above a good average
condition. In Illinois and Missouri the
condition of the wheat was very high in
Iowa 5 per cent. above an average, ana III
tha other States below the average
The condition of oats in the same States
at The dates mentioned was 9 per cent.
below a good average, Missouri being the
only State reporting above an average
Estimates as relate to the area sown this
season in barley indicate in the States
previously mentioned an increase over
| last wear of 262 acres, and make Ihe
area this year, in round numbers, 0oo'oUU
There is an estimated falling off this
season in the rye area, averaging IA the
same States 8 per cent, or 10 acrt 5
The area this year is placed at a trile le'
than SS7 900 acres.
Special returns in relation TO the 10
bacco crop in Kentucky, Southern one
and Indiana, and in Tennessee arr

A TERRIBLE PREDICAMENT.

A Man Trapped by n Railroad Frog
Is Unable TO EHtricate Himself, and
Barely Escapes Death by Signaling
an Approaching Train.
PATRICK MACARTHUR arrived in Detroit the
other morning, fresh from the wilds of Can
ada, having walked the entire distance from
Port Huron to that city. When near the
junction of the Grand Trunk and Michigan Cen
trail Railroads, an adventure befell him ,l 90 90
came near making peiT0u - rnd1ck's ca
reer. While crossing the track where a
switch leaves the main line he got his foot
fast in q "frog," and was unable to eXtricate
it. He had on stout boot aud it fitted so
closely over the instep that he could not draw
his foot out In fact the boot was wedged
in the "frog' so closely that the mans toes
were severely pnched. He pulled this way
and that, wrenched aud twisted, but the
"frog" held the foot like wise.
He could hardly move his leg for the PAIN
and he found that he must either be run over
by the next passing train or make some one
understand his situation. He shouted for
help, but no one came. The nearest house
was half mile away, and if the farmer heard
the wild calls he gave them no attention.
After the man had been prisoner for upward
of an hour he heard the whistle of a down
freight train. 1t was yet long way of and
he had little time to think. He had match
box in his pocket, papers in his bundle, and
| the idea came TO him to signal the train.
Tearing the paper Off his bundle and getting
at number of letters, he rolled them into q
heap, and for fear that the flame would die
out too suddenly he added two flannel shirts
from the bundle. The bundle was then made
fast to the end of his walking-stek, matches
produced, and he waited until the headlight
of the locomotive appeared up the track.
1t finally greeted his vision, looking like {
bright white star as it gistened in the dis
tance. The rumble of the train grew louder
the star grew larger and brighter. He strucl
his match. The flame blazed up brightly, bu
as he moved it toward the bundle little gus
of wind blew it out. Was there time yet
Up the track he could hear the thunder of
hundred heavy wheels, and the great light o
the locomotive glared at him like the fiery ey
of some wild beast. Another match, an In
slant of fear and doubt, and then the pape
blazed up and curled over and around tn
bundle, and swayed right and left with tn
night wind. He waved the signal of fire bac
and forth, and Just when he was ready to b'
, lieve that death under the wheels was certai
. he heard the whistle for brakes.
He could hear the wheels grinding an
, groaning, the hiss of steam as the engine'
threw back his lever, and then the heavy trai
came TO a stop with the great light shinin
( down upon him, paling his dying signal. I
8 was saved, but the engine had only thirty TO
more to go to crush him, The fireman can
: forward, got crowbar and released him, al
= he was taken back to the caboose.

Prevention OF Sun'StrOke.

AS THE heated term is rapidly approach.
ing, we give the following specific for
sun-stroke, which may save from illness
or death many whose occupation compels
them to be in the field or on the street:
"About year since l saw in news
paper an account of case of sun.stroke,
written by the party himself. After suf,
fering long time from the attack, and
having to a considerable degree recov-
cred, he experienced suffering even from
the rays of the moon. This led him to
reflection that 1t was not altogether the
heat Of the sun that produced prostration.
After much research, he discovered that
the injury came from the chemical ray,
and not from the, heat ray. He was
guided to this by observing the fact that
photograph could not be taken through
a hollow glass. Accordingly, he lined
his hat with two linings-one OF orange
yellow to arrest the chemical ray, and one
of green TO arrest the heat ray. Thus
prepared he went where the rays Of the
sun were most intense with perfect i'm
punity. 1t is we'll known that the negro
is seldom sun-struck. The color of his
skin over the skull being of the orange
yellow may assist in accounting for the
fact. practiced upon this suggestion
all last summer, lined my hat with green
and orange yellow paper, and had conf
dence enough in the truth of the theory
TO neglect my umbrella, which l haC
never done before. / mentioned ii L
many, who tried it also, and in many
cases that came under my observation
they uniformly asserted that the oppress
i've heat of the sun upon the head wa
mncn relieved. ."-Syracuss IN. ~ Jour

Where Is the Antarctic Continents

IT has long been a disputed question
whether the Arctic Ocean was an open
sea, and whether at the South Pole there
was land The late Lieut.. Maury had an
ingenious theory that opposite to land we
would always find water, and hence If
there was an ocean about the North Pole
there must be a continent at the South
Pole. This theory has seemed to have
been confirmed by many discoveries OF
land in the Southern hemisphere, and
among others of a stretch Vf coast line
which has long borne the name of the
" Wilkes Antarctic Continent" which
Wilkes claimed to have seen in January,
1S40 It's existence has often been called
in question. The letter which we pub
lish from Lieut. Hynes, OF the Challenger,
to DIR. Hayes, shows that no such land
exists; that Wilkes saw, in fact, nothing
but icefelds and icebergs.
Thus we see one problem after another
solved with the greater accuracy and per-
fection OF scientific appliances but 1t is
not often that a whole continent is so
suddenly bowled down, as it were but one
of set of ninepins, on the general plan OF
progressive science. Notwithstanding
however, that the Challenger has in point
| of fact sailed over the land of Wilkes, yet
|
the vicinity of the South Pole; for other
wise, while whatever ice might be formed
upon the sea, icebergs could not be ere
| ated, inasmuch as land is necessary, the
iceberg being a fragment of the glacier
which is always of mountain origin, and
according to the best accounts, iceberg
are more numerous and larger in th'
Antarctic than in the Arctic seas. Th'
truth is, we know too little about eithe
of these dreary regions of the earth: II
the interests Of commerce neither of tn
poles are likely to prove of greater valu
than for the capture of whales, sea ele
plants and seals; but to science they ar
of infinite importance, and in the neN
awakening of geographical explsratlo,
they cannot much longer be slmpl
q myth TO the ignorant and wonder to tn
wise. "--NesO York Herald.
