A Cat Crusade.

Saws the New York World: Mrs.
Swisshelm expresses wonder that any
song birds are found in the United
States, since cats are so numerous here,
and proceeds to show pretty conclusive
ly that they have done more than man
himself to extirpate some OF our most
valuable prairie fowls. This calls to
mind the statement made some years
ago by patient observer Of the habits
of these beasts of prey; he declared that
two cats upon his farm killed over three
hundred young partridges In one season.
And more recently the protest came
from Kansas that these animals were
killing off the birds that ate the grass
hoppers. This is a very bad report Tor
pussy. Now the economist pertinently
asks If the food which tho City or sixty
thousand feline providers of our city
consume were saved, whether there
would not be more left to feed some OF
the starving children; and to put the
finishing stroke upon the business, Mrs:
Swisshelm intimates very strongly that
the cat is in a measure responsible for
the grasshopper plague. After this it
will be difficult to find modern Cowper
to defend the sleek and bloated hypo-
crite that purs before the CRATE fire, and
that is only waiting for night to come,
to Danish sleep.

Milk Poisoning in England.

At meeting of the sanitary board of
St. Pancras, DR.. Thomas Stevenson,
medical officer of health, made some dis
closures which have come under his no.
tice in reference to the London milk
supply, arising out of three cases of en-
teric fever. which had been reported as
having occurred in well appointed hou-
ses in the Regents park. One circum-
stance was common to the whole OF
these houses-namely, that the milk
supply was from the same source, and
the mother of one of the patients had
complained that the milk was " dirty. !"
He at once communicated with the milk
vender, who declared that he had taken
every care with his utensils and other
wise to prevent such thing happening.
Having stated that he had the milk di-
rect from country farm, Dr. Stevenson
wrote to the medical officer of the dis
trict in which the farm is situated, and
had received reply to the effect that q
more likely place for mischief to pro-
ceed from it was difficult to imagine.
Until the last few days the COWS on the
ldrm uuu udu dCCcoo W u pOAA S0AUoAh
ing crude sewage, culvert opening di-
rectly into it. The house of the farm
was skirted with sewage pit. There
was also shallow fifteen.feet surface
well, containing only few inches OF
filthy water, and from either of these
sources came the water supply. The
dairy of this "farm," so called, was
simply an offset from the scullery OF the
house, badly ventilated. The farmer
admitted that he not only supplied the:
vender who had tho milk walk in Re-
gents park in question, but the medical
officer had ascertained that he also sup
piled one Of the largest refreshment con.
tractors in London. The members of
the sanitary board thanked DR.. Steven
son for his valuable report, which they
considered of the highest importance.
1t was resolved to request the medical
officer of health to further continue bis
Investigations and report again at the
next meeting. 's--...

Growth in Certain Fishes.

Mr.. Mitchell, in a communication to
Nature, presents some remarkable facts
in regard to the rapidity of growth of
fishes. Referring to species of carp,
called by the natives katlab, he states
that this is a species which does not
breed in fresh water, but that the natives
are in the habit of introducing the fry
into ponds, etc., where they thrive very
satisfactorily. According to his account
q tank of sixty five feet long, fifty-eight
feet broad, and thirteen feet deep, was
dug within the premises at Garden
Reach, in May. 1875, and number OF
the katlah fry, from half an inch to an
inch in length, were introduced about the
end of July. On the twenty y-second OF
September the tank was swept with nets
to catch one or two fish of the pike
species that had been accidentally intro
duced with the others. In the net were
taken several dozensof carp referred to,
one of which weighed fourteen ounces
and was eleven inches in length. Others
were only few ounces lighter. The
food supplied to these fish consisted, in
addition to the natural vegetation of the
pond, of the refuse of rice and other
substances thrown into the ponds by the
natives.

grazing upon a neighboring point. Our
descent was difficult and almost i'm
practicable and just here 1 must ac-
knowledge and do justice to that much
abused and vituperized animal, the mule.
Mounted upon horses, our journey
would have been well nigh impossible !;
but with the sure and cautious tread OF
their long-eared cousins, it was accom-
plished in safety. We had not been
long in camp before Gen. Crook and his
aide-de camp joined US, having each
killed very fine specimen of mountain
sheep. Both were bucks, and their
horns very large. From the number OF
these animals in this vicinity, the region,
mountain range and river derive their
common name" Big Horn"
The existing fora astonished me by
its extent. On the very summit OF the
snowy range I found eight or ten va
rieties of flowers, one of which, greatly
resembling the ordinary forget-me-not,
was very abundant, and usually accom-
panied by similar blossom, but red In
hue.

The Sun.

The extraordinary downpour of solar
heat this summer has set the scientific
wopdermongers to guessing anew as to
what burns to produce SO much fire and
keep it up for thousands of years with
out diminution. The difference of heat
from one summer and another has di-
rected attention of late to the earth's at
mosphere as being responsible in certain
of its states for great extremes OF heat.
The interior heat of the earth is also
being brought forward in fanciful the
ory of interaction between it and the
powerful rays of the sun. Physical phi
losophy is at present at loss as to the
source of the suns fire, but it can de-
monstrate that the heat generated in one
hour by the sun is equal to what would
flow from a combustion of layer OF
solid coal ten feet thick entirely sur
rounding that mighty orb. The theory
that the sun is hot globe, gradually
cooling or burning out, is now going out
of fa|hion, since it can be established
that no heat generating substance, not
even the most highly concentrated car
bon, would be at all competent to main
tain the suns combustion. If the sun,
whose mass and diameter are known to
us, were solid block of coal and had a
sufficient supply of oxygen to enable it
to burn at the rate necessary to produce
the effects we see, it would be complete
ly consumed in less than 5000 years.
There are several theories-that the
suns surface is fed by stream of
meteors, thick as snowfakes, such as oc-
casionally stray through our atmosphere,
and are set on fire by the friction, and
the spectroscope's revelation of magne-
SUM burning, and the theory Of tremen-
dous attraction of gravitation OF the
suns mass toward its center, producing
the immense condensation, fire and ra-
diation-all well argued.
