Immense Breakwater Proposed.

As means of modifying the eli
mate of North America the sugges-
tion is now seriously made that a
breakwater be constructed across the
Straits of Belle Isle, thereby exclud-
ing the cold northern current from the
Gulf Of St. Law renee. During the
Spring months immense quantities Of
ice flow through that strait, producing
an extremely low temperature, reduc-
ing the region to sterile condition !;
and it is claimed that if this current
were diverted from its present course
this sterile region would soon be sue
ceeded by fertility, this being shown
by the fact that wherever the inAu-
ence of this current is destroyed by
the Gulf stream vegetation is abun-
dsnt. The material necessary for
euch . breakwatcr is plentiful and
readily accessible. 1t is asserted that
the climate of all North America is
capable of great modification bv sim
ply widening Behring's straits and
allowing the free access of that great
ocean current which flows from the
shores Of Japan across the Pacific.

Stories Of Animal Sagacity.
Boston Traveler.1


Colonel Rice. now of General Miles's
Fifth United States Infantry, was in
company on Tuesday last with a gen.
tleman Of our acquaintance, and the
conversation naturally turned on In
dian warfare and frontier experiences,
the day being the anniversary of the
Custer massacre. Colonel Rice, who
has seen service in Indian campaigns.
related striking anecdote concerning
the sagacity of horse which lost bis
rider in the fatal fight. Some months
after the battle a steamer having on
board portion of the Fifth Infantry
was pursuing her voyage near the
mouth of the Powder River, on the
Yellowstone. The lien on the look
out. one of whom was the famous
scout Buffalo Bill, who was securing
the surrounding country for indica.
tions of hostile Indians, saw in the
distance an object moving slowly to-
ward the boat. They anxiously scru.
tinized it as it continued to approach,
supposing that it might be the advance
of body OF hostiles. Their suspi-
cions were not lessened when they
discovered it to be a horse, which
might be that of scout watching
their movements or signaling the al
vance of the enemy in force. When
the animal came to the bank of the
river, however, it was seen to be un-
mounted and alone, and on approach.
ing the boat it neighed and pranced.
nanifesting every sign of its joyful
recognition.
The boat was stopped, and when the
horse was taken on board it was
found to bear the brand, Seventh
Cavalry The place where it was
found was seventy or eighty miles in
q bee limo from the scene of the Gus
ter fight. The animal had evidently
seen or heard the boat in the distance,
and recognized it as sign of civilizs-
ton, and being tired of its free life in
the wilderness, gladly embraced the
opportunity OF returning to its accus-
toned duties. Another kindred incl
dent showing the strength of the Sec
ond nature implanted by human com.
partnership in domestic animals, was
related by Colonel Rice. Upon one
of the steamers used in the campaign
against the Sioux, was a small dog
belonging to General Miles, which
one day fell overheard, and was given
up for lost. Six months afterwards
as the same steamer was returning,
the singular sight was witnessed of
small dog and q wolf trotting along
in friendly companionship. The dog
was recognized as the one lost over
board. The steamer was stopped and
the dog taken On board, delighted to
meet with bis old friends, while the
wolf on the approach of the vessel ran
back into the bush. The intelligent
animal bad apparently anticipated the
return of the boat, and patiently
awaited bis restoration to bis master.
