DESTROYING Yellow Fever.

1t is we'll known that the germs OF yell
low fever are destroyed by frost. Act
ing on this hint, DR.. Rushrod W. James
suggests, in the Philadelphia Ledger,
fighting the scoulge with machines for
producing artificial cold. He says: "Let
every quarantine station have q ward or
room capable of holding several patients,
mere or less. as the exigencies may de-
mand, so arranged that ventilation can
be maintained exclusively through ven-
tilators and by means of small ante.
rooms with spring-closing doors, and
then have no mode of entrance or exit
to the ward except through the ante
room. The ante-room should be kept
at the same low temperature, or even
lower than that in the ward, so that the
temperature in the latter may not be
raised by the opening and closing Of the
doors by the attendants, nor any of the
dlsease-producing germs escape before
they are thoroughly subjected to the
low temperature and destroyed. The
ward and ante-room must be kept at q
temperature not higher than twenty five
degrees Fahrenheit. Keep the patients
comfortable by sufficient amount of
bed-clothing; and everything that goes
from the room, such as clothing, excre-
tions, all emanations, ETC., must be ex-
posed sufficient length of time to the
cold. This will kill the poisonous germs,
or reproducing cause, and prevent, as
far as the cases under treatment are con-
oerned, any risk of the disease spreading.
If patients cannot bear SO much cold
during treatment, an adjoining warmer
room can be made, with no mode of
access or ventilation except through the
cold room, and everything going out of
the warmer room must be allowed to re-
main sufficient length of time to get
rid of the contagion. If no attendant
occupies the ante-room the degree of
cold can be kept near zero. in order the
more quickly to destroy all the disease
producing agencies"

Cunning Bees,

In Judge Horace Jones' garden, on
the Summit, there is a profusion of the
flowers commonly called snap-dragons.
These flowers are closed, having mouth,
tongue and palate. The mouth is tight
ly closed, but on pressing the flower it
opens, and the reason for the flower
being named "snap-dragon" becomes
apparent. Numerous bumble-bees visit
this garden and sip honey from the
flowers, and it is said to be both anus
ing and wonderful to see how they man
age the snap-dragons. They first light
on the top of the flower, and bracing
themselves with their hind feet, pull its
mouth open with their fore feet until
there is space for the insertion of their
heads, and the head once in, they
squeeze the rest of the body in without
much difficulty. The flower closes over
them, and they remain inside until they
have gathered what honey they want.
and then they push their way out, the
exit being much easier of accomplish
ment than was the entrances Bees and
mules know as much as men sometimes
that is, some men,-Austin (Nev. J

CONSUMPTION of Timber,

In pleading for the protection and
perpetuation of forests, The Lumber
mans Gazette gives some interesting
particulars of the amount of timber con-
sumed every year in this country. "We
have now," it says, "about 80, 200 miles
of railroad; the annual consumption for
ties or sleepers alone is 10000, 900, or
thirty years growth of rs, 600 acres. To
fence these roads would require at least
130, 900 miles of fence, which would cost
$45, 900, 600 to build, and take at least
$15, 900, 900 annually to keep in repair.
We have rs, 600 miles of wire, which re.
quires in its putting up 100000 trees,
while the annual repairs must take
300, 900 more. The little, insignificant
lucifer match consumes annually in it's
manufacture 300, 900 cubic feet of the
finest pine. The bricks that are annu-
ally baked require 1000, 900 cords of
wood, which would sweep the timber
clean from 30, 900 acres. Shoe-pegs are
quite as important an article as matches
or bricks, and to make the required an
nual supply consumes 100, 900 cords of
fine timber, while the manufacture of
lasts and boot-trees make 500, 900 cords
of marble, beech and birch, and about
the same amount is required for plane
stocks and the handles of TOOLS The
packing-boxes made in the United
States in 1874 amounted to $12, 900, 900,
while the timber manufactured into ag-
ricultural implements, wagons, etc., is
more than 800, 900, 900. The farm and
rural fences of the country consume an
immense amount of lumber and timber
annually, but as we grow older as a ma
ton, this consumption may, and prob
ably will, be reduced by the more gen.
eral use OF live fences or hedges. Our
consumption of timber is not only daily
on the increase, but our expectation Of
timber is also rapidly increasing. Our
slaves go by the million to France an
nually; walnut, oak, maple and pine to
England, and spars and docking timber
to China and Japan"

The correspondent of San Francisco
paper claims to have discovered new
lake. 1t is larger than Great Salt Lake
and more beautiful than Lake Tahoe. 1t
is in Nevada, and is called Pyramid
Lake, from the pyramidal masses of
mari and limestone which abound in it.
Most of them are worn into fanciful
shapes by the water, and the highest,
Fremont's, less than 500 feet, has boil
ing spring issuing from it fifteen feet
below the surface. There is an island in
the lake 600 feet high and /, 200 acres in
extent, inhabited by rattle snakes and
goats, who live on the alfilaree and the
punches of grass in the crevices, for the
island is simply mass of rock. The
lake has no outlet, and it's bottom has
never been reached by sounding. The
water is very clear and slightly brackish,
and evaporates about as fast as it flows
in. There are innumerable trout in it.
The shores are bleak and barren,

Oh, mule

What sudden and precipitate extremes;

To bust keg of nails, kick down q fence, or

Thou vast not always thus insoluble,
Insensate to kindly touch or word?
Not always have thy accents, loud and voluble,
Mans fearful heart with dreadful terror
stirred.
Has your harsh rule
Always impelled him, with emotions fleet
To fly the fondling Of thy later feet?
Say, gentle mule
Speak, mule;
Why didst thou, with intense vitality
Lift through the hingeess roof Of yonder
shed
man; an earth born child of immortality,
Because he passed thee with incautious tread?

him,

To-Day.

Creeds live and die faith follows faith,
Deeds prove but mockeries Of the will
And dreams that were to-morrow's are
To-morrow's still.
Subtly, in all our good the thread
OF i'll is wrought; our fairest fair
Is dragged to earth in being ours,
And traileth there
Light follows light, and each grows dim |
The present will be as the past;
Wave breaks on wave, and each is strong
As each is last
Life leans on faith, and pressed hard
Faith cries to God, and only stands
When, bearing life upon our breast,
She clasps Gods hands.
The distant hills are darkness; but
The morrow brings the morrow's light
This much is ours-to-day to do
The present right.
This much is ours, aud things beyond
In loves own wisdom hidden lie
But this lies close at hand-to do
His will, and die.

"People who go into business by the
side of men who have large business
built up by constant advertising, and
never advertise a dollar, but depend

When Admiral Hay landed in Cyprus
he sent fifty marines on TO Larnaca, the
capital of the island, and as the weather
was extremely hot, gave them mules to
ride on, thus organizing veritable
corps of horse, or rather mule, marines.
The mules suffered from the heat as
much as their riders, and after brief
and solemn deliberation determined to
kick their unskillful riders eff. There
was sudden and unanimous elevation
of heels, and fifty marines lay PROSTATE
in the dust. This was comical enough,
but the story has serious end. The
mules ran away, and ten of the marines,
compelled to walk, were sunstruck.

MARK TWAIN, IN MARCH ATLANTIC.

It was we'll along id the forenoon
of bitter winters day. The town
OF Eastport, in the State Of Maine,
lay buried under a deep snow that
\ was newly fallen. The customary
4 hustle on the street was wanting.
One could look long distances down
them, and seeing nothing but dead
white emptiness, with silence to
1tJ 0l lscoNreA y do not mean
st61S you could see The silence--no,
you could only hear it. The side
walks were merely long, deep bitches,
with steep snow walls on either side.
Here and there you might hear the
faint, far scrap of a wooden shovel,
and if you were quick enough you
might catch a glimpse OF a distant
black figure STOPPING and disappear
ing in one of those bitches, and re-
appearing the next moment with q
motion which you would know meant
the heaving out of a. shovelful of
snow. But you needed to be quick,
for that black figure would not lin
ger, but would soon drop that shovel
and scul for the house, thrashing
itself with its arms to warm them.
Yes, it was too venomously cold for
snow shovelers or anybody else to
stay out long.
Presently the sky darkened; then
the wind rose and began to blow in
ftful, vigorous gusts, which sent
clouds of powdery snow aloft, and
straight ahead, and everywhere.
Under the impulse of one of these
gusts, great white drifts banked
themselves like graves across the
streets; moment later, another
gust shifted them around the other
way, driving fine spray of snow
. from their sharp crests, rs the gale
drives the spume flakes from wave
crests at sea; third gust swept that
place as clean rs your hand, If it saw
fit. This was fooling, this was play;
but each aud all of the gusts dumped
some snow into the sidewalk bitches,
for that was business.

The CHEYENNE LEADER.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR
4 ..
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.
Itaims 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 a
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 ut 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 1870 we shall make The
Leader even 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 i'll the future.
