CURRENT NEWS.


Secretary Schurz, In recent interview,
says the disclosures Of fraud ct the Crow
Creek and other Indian agencies have been
brought about entirely through the investi-
cations Of the present Indian Bureau; that
the Irregularities In some instances are the
growth Of years, and that In no instance
where theft and peculation have been prov
en- 70 exist has the offender been spared.
The Secretary says that the humanitarian
policy Of getting the Indians togeth-
or upon reservations and making
them self-suppouing Is far as possible BY
agriculture, stock raising, ETC., Is very dim-
cult to carry out, but may be accomplished
IN time II not only the Government but
white citizens will treat the Indians fairly.
The continual conflicts between the inter-
ests OF Indians and the greed Of white peo-
pie, surrounding and crowding between
them, presents problem Of difficult solu-
ton, and no mere change in the organiza-
ton and control Of the Indian service can
dispose Of IT,

ANCIENT JEWISH SCIENCE.

DIR. Herman Adler, of London, claims
TO find in the Talmud evidence that the
ancient Jews possessed number Of what
are considered important modern discoy-
cries. Rabbi Gamaiel, about The Thrill
eth year Of the common era, bad sort oi
orrery in bis house, aud tits clear from
certain passages that the astronomers OF
those days had an instrument very closely
resembling the telescope. A passage in
the Talmud says: Rabbi Gamaliel had a
tube by means Of which he could see 2000
cubits by land and air; also 2O00 cubts
by sea. A knowledge of electricity is
revealed by the statement, one must not
plsce iron 10 poultry yard from super
slitious motive, but If II be done on nc.
count OF The thunder and lightning Il IL
permitted. There Is clear proof that
the use of an@slhetics in surgery was
practiced. The Talmnd says: They
gave him to drink potion, which cast
him into profound sleep, 50 that they
we're enabled to perform the operation Of
gastrotomy. The Talmud mentions arti.

tsins the first mention OF insurance.

Sometime ago Congress made an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to defray the ex-
penses of q Commission to investigate
the character and habits OF the locust,
that committed such fearful depredations
in the Southern and Western States
within the last few years. This is show
ing some commendablc interest IL be-
hall. of agricultural progress. The Com
mission has published its first report,
from which il appears that al area of
over 100000 of square Lilies has been
occasionally visited by these insects since
18lS-of which the last three, in 1873,
1874 and 1876, were much the most de-
structiyc, having damaged the country
to the estimated value Of $200,000 900.
The Commission thinks that the insects
come from large, hot, barren wastes, and
the prevention of their appearance may
depend upon the settlement and cutiva-
ton of the sandy plains of the West
They recommend certain measures OF
prevention to be observed by the farmers
residing in that section, which has been
condensed by the Hartford Post, as fol-
lows:
It has been nscertained that, rs n rule,
the invading swarms do not make their
appearance In the Mississippi valley an:
til the latter part of July or first of Au.
gust. BY this time wheat, barley and
oats have generally reecned perfection
and boen harvested. This fact renders
it possible to anticipate these swarms ant
prevent serious injury by relying chiefly
upon these crops when there is reason tC
fear their incursions. And if the hatch
ing grounds Of the insects be iefinitel,
asssccee::.a:ned assce: ...::ed, and tho national govern
ment, by means Of the signal servic,
corps Or otherwise, Till taSe measures tt
give notice in ADVANCE CT heavy. egg
deposits in this area, the farmers, by
planting small grains, may thus preven
any serious injury when they arrive. Il
is also advised that greater attention bt
paid to grazing. The grasshoppers dt
not do much injury to grass, and hence
stockraisers and herdsmen can look witt
comparative Indifference on these vista
tions. There are other remedies sug
gested, such as the encouragement of ami
mails and insects that feed upon the pests
the destruction of the eggs or unAedget
insects by narrowing, plowing, tramping
irrigation, burning, ETC., and several pre-
ventive measures against the mature o.
winged insects.
