Necessity is the mother Of invention,
and in those parts Of orr State afflicted
with fleas, many novel and ingenious
devices have been resorted to as means
Of getting rid Of the pest. We publish
ed a few days ago that Cuthbert man
had, with partial success, tried covering
his limbs with varnish on retiring at
night and had captured AS. Another
phper now gives the experience OF z
gentleman Of its town who placed q
plate Of molasses under house where
the animals loved to congregate, drove
little stake on each side, and then
fastened q sheet of writing paper in
vertical position over the middle OF the
plate. The fleas, true to their instinct
TO make for every thing white, began TO
jump against the paper and 70 slip down
into the molasses, from which they were
unable to extricate themselves. The
scheme was success. The fleas were
thinned out. "Now," says the paper,
eff it was some enterprising Yankee
who had made this discovery, he would
apply for patent and make fortune
out Of it."-Sav0nnah (Gd.) Nescs.

The question as TO how far the varia-
ton Of the eccentricity Of the earth's
orbit may have brought about the great
changes Of climate indicated BY geologi-
cal phenomena more especially a. re-
CARDS the cause and date Of glacial
epochs--is still an absorbing theme Of
discussion among scientists. The posi-
ton Of some, in this discussion, Is, that
during the past three millions Of years
there have been three periods when the
eccentricity attained high Importance
that Is, the first Of these began about
2,630.0O0 years ago, and Terminated
some 2,460,000 years ago; the second
began about $50, 900 years ago, and ter.
minated some 100000 years ago; and
the third began some 100000 years ago,
and terminated about $1,000 years ago
II is considered that the first period wa
the glacial epoch, the second was that
Of the upper miocene period, while the
third corresponded TO the glacial epocf
OF the middle eocene period.
