A Mechanical Horse.

The Geneva Continent says: An inge-
NOUS gentleman of Berlin, Herr Fred
erich Netzsch, has invented a horse.
The animal is made of iron, and the
motive power, instead of being its own
legs, is derived from the legs of the rider
The iron horse, as the Berlin papers call
him, showed off his PAGES the other day
in the garden of Hagen's Summer
Theater, in the presence of the leading
mechanicians and journalists of the Ger
man capital. The concern is described
as consisting of a couple of wheels, two
meters high between these " find itself :"
the horse, upon which mounts the rider
The latter moves his legs after the
English fashion of riding" (this means,
we presume, that he rises and falls in his
saddle), and the thing goes along as fast
as a quick trotting horse. The road
makes no diference-it is all the same
whether the machine goes gently over
the stones or moves swiftly on the hard,
high road-and the facility with which
the steel turned round corners excited
the admiration of all beholders. Herr
Netzsch believes that his invention will
be of great use to porters and others for
the carrying of light loads, and he has
confident hopes that it will be highly ap
preciated by the numerous classes who
are fond of saddle exercise, but are
destitute of the wherewithal to buy and
maintain horses of flesh and flood; he
contemplates too, its application to the
drawing of cabs and other carriages. L
is even conceivable that in this inven
ton we have the charger of the future
An animal that does not eat and canno

HOIE AND FARM BRETIIIE,S.

In manuring for corn, apply the fer
tilizer near the surface. This is our
practice, says the Grange Journal, and,
as we find it successful, we can offer sub
stantial reasons. The corn plant loves
warmth, and the roots grow best in the
warmest earth.
An old-style farmer had his eyes
opened to the utility of ' book farming"
lately by suggestion that even sand and
swamp muck, properly applied, would in
crease the production of his stiff clay
land from fifty to seventy-five per cent.
He was tempted to try the experiment,
and found it resulted even so.
President PARCEL, of the Union
County On. J.) Farmers Club, thinks
that cows kept fat and fed high in order
to force them to give large quantities of
milk prematurely wear out, and are
subject to attacks of milk fever, abor-
ton, garget, sterility and sudden death.
He has lost four or five in this way

A Monster California Lion.
[Hollister (Cal. } Enterprise.l


A huge male California lion has been
depredating on ranches in the vicinity of
Birds Greek for several months, and many
sheep, calf and pig have fallen victims
to his voracious appetite. He had been
frequently seen but always eluded cap
ture. He is the same one that Mr.. Sally
came suddenly upon few days ago on
his ranch. This gentleman had lost as
many as fifty hogs lately by the depre-
dations of the beast, and offered a reward
for his capture or destruction. He and
others who have stock in that region
will be glad to learn that the lions days
have been brought to an abrupt termin-
alton. Ike Lewis was aroused from his
mornings since by the loud squeals of a
pig in trouble. Fastening to the scene,
he discovered one of his shoats in the
jaws of lion, and alarmed by the dogs
the animal dropped the shoat and took to
tree. Lewis gave him a dose or two
of buckshot, which seemed to have no
other effect than to make the beast twist
and scratch little. He then stood
guard over his lionship till daylight,
when he sent for rifle and perforated
the beasts heart the first fire. On re-
ceiving the shot the lion leaped into the
air and came down a corpse. The body
was brought to town, and crowds gath.

FLYING Power of Bees,
National Repository for August.

---o-"N'I
The following experiments were made
with bees by Herr Donhoff; He took
some bees from the hive, just as they
came out of the entrance-hole, and
placed them under a glass bell at a
temperature of go Fahrenheit. First
they ran hastily up and down the sides
of the glass, and flew about the jar.
Some time after their movements became
less hasty, and finally they all set quietly
together, or moved slowly and clumsily
being unable to fly about. A few were
allowed to crawl upon a pencil, which,
on being jerked, threw them into the air
they fell down perpendicularly without
moving their wings in the least. Two
or three were killed, and their honey.
bags found to be empty. To the Others
Herr Donhoa then gave a solution OF
sugar, and after feeding for a few mo-
ments, he again threw them into the air
They no longer fell down perpendicu
larly, but little farther off, also moving
the wings. A minute afterward they
did not fall down at all, but few to the
window. On repeating the experiment
at lower temperature they lost theil
power of flying even sooner, and a Longer
period elasped before it returned after
they were fed on sugar-water. Inhighel
temperature the power returned sooner
Herr Donhoff thinks it probable that thu
bee loses the power of flying because i
does not possess the necessary strength
to be converted into muscular action
and that this strength returns to it
system because in sugar it finds tn,
necessary vital support.

MObs.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean.]

There is considerable difference be-
tween the action ofamobs in different
nations. The English mob is sullen,
sometimes noisy, but seldom blood
thirsty. When it reaches the pitch of
demonstrative lawlessness it generally
contents itself with smashing windows,
breaking open provision stores, pitching
loaves of bread into the air and catching
forks. Murders have been committed
during strikes in England, but the evils
of poverty and starvation have been
principally felt by the strikers them
selves through the remorseless tyranny
of their unions and societies. When we
cross the channel we meet a very differ
ent state of affairs. The annals of Paris
are red with blood. To sound the first
note of revolution or mob-law in Paris is
to bid adieu to peace or safety until the
mad passion of an excitable people have
spent themselves in death. When a
Partisan mob has once tasted blood, its
thirst is that of the panther. Let the
reader interested in the civic passion
take up Lamartine's Girondists," and
turn to the Reign OF Terror in Paris
He will there confont a picture the
most terrible in the history of civiliza
ton. 1t was frenzied city, and life
hung by thread. Blood flowed into
the Seine like water. Day after day
the fatal car paraded the streets on its
way to the Place de la Concorde. The
men were drunk with human blood
the women fendish as the tabled furies
1t has been our boast in the United
| States that whatever political causes may
have led to civil war our citizens
obeyed the laws; no standing army
was needed as in England to garrison oul
cities. Such minor riots as have take1
place in New York and other cities have
seldom lasted more than couple ofdays
That this terrible disease has broken ou
in our midst to-day is matter deepl.
to be deplored.
The question is, shall this be the be
ginning of innumerable scenes of a sim
liar character, or shall it be the last Wis
itation of such kind that this grea
nation will permit to scourge it?

A Little Mormon COLONY.

The Wallawala Union says that up on
the mountain side, between Mill Creek
and Russell Creek, there lives a colony
representing about seventy persons, who
are commonly called Mormons. These
are an offshoot from the Mormon Church.
Their first Prophet was one Morris, who
was killed by the old-fashioned Nor
mons years ago. The most noticeable
popularity about them is, that the men
never cut their hair, and some of them
look as though they never washed or
combed their locks. The head of the
colony is fne-looking man by the name
of w. II. Davis, who has a son now about
five years old that is claimed to be the
second Christ. But little is known of
this sect by our people, as they live in a
lot of houses built close together, and do
not neighbor" much with the settlers
around them.
