Entomology in Schools.

Professor Saunders, in his address
at the recent annual meeting of the
chronological Society of Ontario, OF
which be is President, stated that on
n model farm in Guelph, Canada, the
important study of insects injurious to
agriculture, is regularly taught, with
the aid of fair collection of speci-
mems; he made the good sug-
gestion that every school should have
its museum OF natural history, where
the children can learn, with the objects
before them, the nlmes and habits OF
the common birds, insects and plants
with which they most constantly
come in contact. Such studies, he
justli thinks, would strengthen the
intellect aud cultivate the memory
and other faculties of the mind more
thoroughly than many of the abstract
studies now especially designed for
the purpose, while the practical value
Of such knowledge 10 the fortunate
possessor in after life can scarcely be
oyer-esiimated."

The new artcsian well which is be-

Richards, c. E.. at Victoria. Spain, has
now reached depth of nearly 1890
feet. The diameter of the bore is
about twenty inches. The drills are
worked by thirty-two-horse-power

THE WISCONSIN RIVER.
A Sidc.Wheel Steamers Trip up the
River Twenty Years Ago.

A Milwaukee correspondent gives the
following account of Il voyage i'll 1857
up the Wisconsin river:
The railroad had been completed to
Prairie du CHEN. but the immense
snowfall of the preceding winter had
raised the rivers to prodigious heights.
The Mississippi was higher than ever
before known, except in 1926, and the
Wisconsin river had overlooked its
banks and risen to the tops Of the low
trees covering the broad bottoms be-
tween the bluffs. OF course the new
railroad track was entirely washed
away. While affairs were III this con
ditiCn the ItdScu, the MLedukee and
the Ocean Haze had arrived at Prairie
du Chen from st. Paul, loaded with
passengers, all Fastening TO take the
railroad to Milwaukee on their way
eastward. Everybody knows what il
troublesome mob few hundred pas
sengers become when they are embar-
COED 4 few days in an out-of-the-way
place, without sufficient accommodate
tions for their comfort, ana all in n hur-
~ to go forward. Mr.. Barber had been
appointed station agent of the new road
at Prairie du Chen, and his resources
were called into requistion to open con.
nectlon with the railroad where it was
above water, some thirty miles away,
up the Wisconsin river valley. Capt.
Scott of the Occd1t IEdre, agreed to take
that boat up the Wisconsin to where
the track could be found. A pilot who
knew the river was persuaded for $50
to leave game Of poker at IL half-breed
saloon and take the wheel, and the pas
sengers were put aboard. The current
was anywhere over bottom from one
to two miles in width. A raft or two
coming down from the pinery was
knocked to pieces, and the first night
out three men were picked from tree
top, in which they had been lodged
from broken crib Of one Of the RATS,
the balance Of the RATS crew having
been lost. They worked their way up
stream till they struck the bridge at
Muscoda, the top rails Of which were
Just above water. There the disastrous
news was met that wash-ont had oc-
Cured over at Blue river, beyond
which ii would be impossible to convey
the passengers, SO necessity compelled
A return to Prairie Din CHEN, where the
money which the voyagers had paid for
tickets was refunded and they sought
other routes 70 the eastward. That was
the first and last attempt to navigate
the Wisconsin river with q sidc-wheel
steamer

4 short History Of Petroleum.

A PEN PICTURE.

A few months. or even weeks, since.
her paid countenance was the very
type of rudy health-lhe deligbtef
the school and the pride OF the
household. She was always welcome
wherever duty or pleasure led Ler.
Diligent, punctual and exemplary, in
the classroom, obedient and loving
at home, she won the hearts Of all.
But alas those flowing cheeks and
lips are now blanched by consumption.
The voice once so enchantiRga6e
laugh and song is feeble, husky and
broken by a hollow cough. Let Us
approach her couch and gently take
her bloodless hand in our own. Do
not shudder because OF its feeble
~passionless grasp. The hand once'sD
warm and plump shows its bony oat-
lines, while the cords and tortuous
veins are plainly mapped upon &
surface. The pulse that bounded
with repletion, imparting beauty,
viyacity, health and strength, to the
system, is delicate to the touch. The
~enervated heart feebly propels tAe
thin, scanty blood. Must we lose
her while yet SO young snd so fair?
No. There is relief. But something
more is required than the observance,
Of hygiene rules, for enteebled
nature calls for aid and she must
have it. Administer this pleasant
medicine. 1t is in~vigorating. It
allays the irritable cough. improves
the appetite and digestion, and sends
a healthy tingle through her whole
being. The blood is enriched, ner-
vous power increased, and the heart
bounds with a new impulse. Her
face brightens-the blood is return;
ing, her voice is clearer, and her res
quests are no longer delivered in that
peevish, fretful tone so deadening to,
sympathy. Her step is.stilllalterinss1
But strength IS RAPIDLY returning
Let us take her out in the warm, life
giving sunshine. In a few weekssLe>
will 90 without our aid and be able
to Join her companions in their
pleasant pastimes and feel her whole
being warmed and expanded into
perfect life" The change is so great
that we think she is sweeter and
nobler than ever before. And the
medicine which has wrought this
transformation, we look upon as a
blessing to humanity, for there arr
other loved ones TO be rescued from
the grasp Of the insidlous destroyer.
