Removal of the Wheat ReIt.
Grain Cleaner.l

The removal Of the wheat belt" westward
says the Buffalo Courier, Is strikingly exhib-
tied by the trade Of Cleveland. Only thirty
five years ago she shipped more wheat than
any other port on the great lakes, Buffalo
known in the wheat trade, was the chief point
OF original receipt, and received larger
amount Of wheat than any other port of Che
world from the actual producers. Now both
CLEVELAND and Massilon draw large pro-
portion OF their breadstuff3 from the north
west. Westward the wheat producing region
takes its way, but this condition OF affairs
although it will last for many years, will not
be permanent. With improved agriculture
wheat will again be, grown in large Quantities
Where 1t IS now neglected; and the increased
point is reached, provide consumers nearer
the places Of production in that region.

CARNATIONS. Since the time of jackson and
that is about as far back as my political recol-
lection reaches each new President, with one
exception, has entered office with a majority
in the House Of his own political faith, and
each OF these Presidents has had the fortune
good or bad to have the opposition get con-
troll OF the lower house at the beginning Of
the second Congress. In the case of Mr.,
Lincoln, his party friends had control of the
second Congress, but the conditions were ex
ceptional, for, at that time, you will rernern-
Der, two thirds Of his political enemies were
not admitted to representation in Congress at
all. Grants administration was really the
only exception within the period I have
named to the general rule. In his first term
the second Congress was organized by the
election OF a Republican Speaker. In his
second election, although he carried more
than tWo-thirds of all the electoral votes. he
saw the democrats Of the Forty-fourth Con
gress take possession by an immense majori-

Some interesting experiments have recently
been made by the medical faculty of Mich-
gan University, In order to determine the
seat OF hunger and thirst in the animal sys-
tenn. A dog was choroformed after having
been fed hearty meal and, while the mus
culO-membraneOus reservoir for food was
largely distended, an incision was made
through the abdomen, over the large curva-
ture OF the stomach, into that organ then q
silver tube quarter of an inch in diameter
and an inch and half long was inserted in
the cut, the other end of which was then
corked up. The tube has half-inch hanges at
both ends; the inner hange serving to keep
the tube in place while the outer fiange close
ly. shuts the exterior The dog still lives
with. his stomach permanently on tap;
in fact the operation in no way
affects the health Of the mastiff, al
though, in undergoing the severe ordeal
interest of science, hunger compeIs him to eat
about six times as much as formerly. The re-
suit OF the experiment proves that the seat of
hunger Is not in the stomach, neither is the
seat of thirst the throat, but that they both
reside In the system at large. The dog was
permitted to eat a hearty meal which was
Immediately taken from him via the tube. In
few minutes, after recovering from his
fright he would eat an equally large quan-
tlty OF food, and 50 on to any extent. Again,
he has not been permitted to have anything
to eat for, say, twenty-four hours. Food
would then be injected into his stomach
through the tube. Notwithstanding his
stomach was already full the animal would
at once gul . down more food but, If sufficient
time was given for the injected food to enter
the system, he would then refuse all that was
set before him. The conclusions arrived at
from these experiments find confirmation in
the fact, which has often been observed, that
persons suffering from thirst, although the
parching sensation is apparently limited to
the throat, find immediate relief upon enter
ing bath, or even from immersing the feet
in water.
