Paris as Seen from the Clouds.

[ have made an ascent in Giffard's
balloon, and am 50 pleased with the
trip that L should like to stay up for
several days.
The outer and larger circle of people
collected around the railing surround
ing the balloon are those who are ad-
mitted into the yard at franc head
to gaze on the balloon and its ascents.
The few within are those who pay 81
each for the privilege of ascending about
1880 feet over Paris.
An eyetight and severely crack
fastened board fence has been put up in
the court Immediately adjoining the
ruins of the Tuileries, which prevents
any thing, save the globe of the balloon,
from being seen without. Entering this
yard you quickly realize that stationary
ballooning is an expensive business.
All about are steam-engines, an immense
windlass, large gas-fxtures, coils of
rope, several smaller windlasses, check
takers, ticket sellers and band of
music.

Then the citizens went back into the

Partisan Rats.

The most numerous, although Ger.
tainly not The most popular, animals in
Paris are the rats. They abound in all
the street-gutters and there is hardly a
house but what is infested with them.
As soon as night comes they come creep
ing out by the thousands from their
hiding places, and seek their subsistence
on the heaps of offal and among the
garbage before the house-doors. On
these excursions many of these animals
lose their lives, for the Parisians wage
a continual warfare with the celestial
rodents.
But in spite of all prosecutions with
fire and water, with dogs, poison, traps,
and clubs they increase so rapidly that
each animal killed is soon replaced by
several others. Well, the rat is also an
object of industrial explorations They
are not only killed by the wholesale, in
order to get their skins, but they are
also captured alive to engage in fiercer
cOmbats.
Very few people know that, as in Lon
don, rat fights take place also in Paris.
There are individuals ia Paris who feed
the captured rats, and then 90 with
few dozen of them and number Of rat
terriers TO The lovers of this sport, when
they engage in bloody eombats with the
dogs which always costs them their lives
in spite Of the most heroic defense.
These combats generally take place in
the ateliers of the animal painters, and
the impressario of the hapless four-foot-
ell troupe is richly rewarded. Boston

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR
4 879 ..
Tie Cheyenne Leader, daily and
Weekly commends itself to Western
readers for the following reasons:
1t publishes all the news of the day
from all parts of the world.
1t aims to be a faithful exponent of
the interests of the people, and of the
best sense and sentiment of local and
general politics.
1t has no narrow hobbies, and never
permits individual prejudices or fac
tious interests to warp its judgment or
to contract its powers of vision as q
watchful sentinel, who is constantly on
the alert for whatever may give enlight.
eminent, prosperity and happiness of
the general public.
1t designs to be a Newspaper. in the
broadcast and best sense of the word;
promptly and fully reporting all local
events of interest, giving all the latest
general news by telegraph and the
mails, and making its columns..a faith
full reflex of the progress and spirit of
the times at home and abroad.
The Weekly Leader is an eight page,
carefully edited genera; newspaper, for
the Office, the ranch, the workshop, the
military station and the family. 1t
contains all the news of the. week, and
gives a large variety of literary, practi-
cal, commercial and miscellaneous
reading matter. 1t is one of the best
general Weekly Newspapers in the
West, and the best and largest published
west of the Mississippi.
During 1879 we shall make The
Leader ven more attractive than it has
been heretofore. Additional editorial
talent will be employed, and no efforts
or expense will be spared to keep The
Leader in the front rank of Journal
ism. We have reason to believe that
the reading public of the great West,
appreciates an enterprising, conscien-
tious and carefully edited newspaper.
We have the most substantial eviden-
ces of the fact, and we ask nothing
better and nothing more than that the
same intelligent and appreciative pub
lie which has given The Leader its
support for so many years in the past,
will continue to do SO in the future.

ANALYSIS oF FLOUR AND WHEAT.

The importance of proper analysis of flour
and wheat can hardly be over-estimated.
Besides their scientific value they have a
practical bearing upon the art of milling
which seems to have been lost sight of by
the mllers OF the country. Impartial and
scientific tests OF both Hour and wheat have
been Of rare occurrences in the United
States, and many would be~surprised at the
few analysis that have been p.at on record,
while even these few are of a. contradictory
character.
For the purposes of the miller. an ulti-
mate analysis Of wheat and flour would
hardly be desirable. For all practical
purposes, and SO far as the character
OF the flour is concerned, the con-
stituents of flour may be regarded as com
prsing moisture, gluten and starch. The
proportion and character of these are all the
ferences as to, the real quality OF his flour
and to suggest means for improving it. 1t
was with a view TO bringing into greater
prominence this important branch OF in
quiry in its relations to the miler's art, that
we have instituted Il series OF experiments
and analyses to determine the constituents
of different varieties OF wheat, and Hours
from different sections of the country. Dur
ing the past month, among other tests we
selected three samples OF straight grade
flour made respectively, in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Minnesota; from Pennsylvania
Winter, Ohio Winter, and Minnesota Fife

Ir is to be regretted; that our farmers pay

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.

The first agricultural school was founded
by Fellenburg in Switzerland, in 1906, from
which thousands of pupils have been grad
uated, giving to- that country great and
lasting impetus tosthe progress of civiliza-
ton, ,,intelligence and wealth.. In Prussia
there is not a province but can boast its
agricultural school and model farm, and Ire
land has over two hundred farm schools.
1t is understood by political economists
abroad that any one, however ignorant, can
not be farmer, and this idea is becoming
prominent in this country. TO till the
ground effectively and profitaby, requires
fully as much technical knowledge as any
of the professions. The farmer should I'M
derstand something of chemistry, geology,
botany zoology and mechanics, in order to
conduct his calling intelgently. The agri-
cultural schools of our own country are cal
culated to raise the standard Of agricultural
knowledge here, and great results are an
ticpated through this agency. .Re7mt World.
