THE INFLUENCE OF MIN UPON

The influence of man npon climate has

it is now well known that, by cutting
down forests and draining the soil, men
can materially change the climate of a
country. Some recent experiments con-

sandy plain about 300 yards from the
forest. Both ObservatOries were built at
the same height from the ground.
Twelve months observation showed that
of the total rainfall within that period
10 per cent. more rain fell over the trees
than over the bare sand distant $50
yards from them. Further, the air

HORACE GREELEY'S RIRTHPLiCE
A newspaper correspondent who has

Greeley's birthplace describes the house
as brown from exposure to sun and rain,
but IN excellent repair. 1t stands with
its caves to the road half way up steep
hill, aud is like all the early farm-houses
of New England. Around the immense
chimney stack are three rooms. each
with gaping fireplace, and little hall
IN front opens into a parlor and sitting
room, with n kitchen in the rear. The
sitting room III which Horace Greeley
was born has two windows in front and
one ON the side. The huge fireplace be

long winter evenings is still standing.
The frog pond back of the farm house is
still Gnreclaimed, and the old orchard
beyond the marsh still bears the spicy

this point the tide of battle turned in
favor of the Turks, who were apparently
tireless in their feroc1ty. They began a
series of sorties, falling neck and heels
upon the enemy everywhere along the
lines. Utterly reckless of their own
life, they plunged at the Russian in
fantry, sabering them and using even
the butts of their mrlskets. AS if
drunken with the taste of blood, there
was no power that could stop their mad
onslaught, and the Russians, wearied
with fighting all day on the offensive,
were forced gradually back, fighting
courageously to the last.
As the gloom began to settle upon the
landscape the blazing fires of the cannon
died away, and the flower of the Russian
army, which had so boastfully marched

How to Regulate Light.

Statistics kept by oculists employed
in intirmaries for eye diseases have shown
that the habits of some persons in facing
window from which the light falls di-
rectly in the eye as well as on the work,
niure their eyes in the end. The best
way is to work with side light, or, if
the work needs strong illumination, SO
that it is necessary to have the working
table before the window, the lower por-
ton of the latter should be covered with
screen, 80 as to have top light alone,

the head is slightly bent over and down.

Chloroforming q Horse.

A curious operation was performed by
DR.. VIM. .Hailes, JE, at the request OF
Mr.. Newton, upon valuable trotter,
belonging to him. The horse is fine
animal, with a record of 2:30; for some
time it has been noticed that when
speeding him he labors under adifficulty
in breathing his throat appearing to be in
some manner choked up. Determined to
ascertain the cause, and, if possible,
remedy the difficulty, the owner consent
ed to an operation. It is well known
that it is very difficult thing to cause q
horse to lie down, and in order TO obvi.
ate this it was decided to a!mlnlst r
chloroform while the operation was :
ing performed. Accordingly large
q lantity of ch,orfoorn and ether mixed
in equal parts, was ministered. The
animal objected very strenuously to .he
treatment, but was finally, ahont ten
minutes after the dose had been applied,
overcome and fell to the floor. An in
cision in the vicinity of the throat
was then cut, and very careful
examination made, but nothing could be
found which would be likely to hinder
the breathing. It is supposed that the
trouble is in a membraneous thickeuing
of the tissues of the throat. for which, OF
course, nothing can be aons: --Alsa'y

Profit of Sheep Raising in California.

There is more profit on the average
in keeping sheep in this country, says
the Visalia (Cal. } Age, than in any other
country Oh the globe. With the excep-
tion of Holland and Belgium, the annual
weight in flesh of America exceeds that
of any other country. In those two
countries the average weight is sixty
pounds in America fifty-two pounds:
But owing 70 the higher price received
here for wool the annual revenue from
each sheep here is just double that
in Holland. The annual revenue here is
50. 16, on the average; Australia is next
highest, $3.50; Spain next, 81. 5. Only
five other countries exceed 81, and IN
Russia and Greece its revenue is only AZ
cents. The average weight as we'll as

A Man who. Turns Copper into Gold.

The following is clipped from the San
Francisco Bulletin: A gentleman resid-
ing in this city, who is in close cores
pondence with relatives in Santiago, the
capital OF the Republic of Chill, states
that Paraf has maintained himself, des-
pite the opposition brought against him.
He has now three establishments in op-
Grafton, and is producing wonderful re-
suits. He has organized company
with capital of SO, 900, 900, and the peo-
pie are absolutely crazy to procure stock.
Copper mines that were formerly COM
paratively valueless are now held at
exhorbitant figures, and prospecting is
active in every direction. One of the
instances of Paraf's assays is interesting
A ton of copper ore from the Caracoles
district was submitted to several of the
we'll known assayers in the presence of a
number Of citizens, Paraf also being
present. The assayers announced
the result-they had obtained four
and half per cent. of gold. There
upon Paraf suggested that there
must be more of the precious metal
in the ore. but the assayers were prevent
ed finding it on account of its being hid
den by the copper. He produced the
chemical powder, which he calls "reac.
tive" and this was submitted to those
present, and in its turn analyzed, with
out detecting the presence of gold. Scat
tering this over the pulverized mass,
and allowing about half an hour for
manipulation in order to produce thor
ough incorporation with it, he asked
the metallurgists to reassay the ore,
when the astonishing result of thirty
seven and a half per cent was reached
Paraf is reported to be on the top wave
of success. He has purchased the Quin.
ia, on the Canada, the principal street of
Santiago, the former residence of the
late Harry Meiggs, and which cost him
$500, 900, and there receives the worship
ers of the golden calf in right royal style.
Chill is beginning to believe in him as
its financial savior, and his influence is
only limited by the credulity of the peo-
pie.
