Predicting Plagues.-Numerous at
tempts have been made OF late to show
that the variations in tho number Of
spots on the suns face were the cause
OF excessive rains, poor wheat crops,
commercial panics and other terrestrial
occurrences. Now comes Mr.. Is. G.
Jenkins, Fellow CT the British Royal
Astronomical Society, who says that
cholera. the black death, and other
plaques are the effect OF planetary i'll
ilucnces, and particularly of those of
the four outer planets, Jupiter. Saturn
Uranus and Neptune. He goes back
for hundreds Of years, asserts that all
the plaques which have swept over
Europe during that period can be ac-
counted for by the movements and po-
sitions Of one or more Of these planets {;
and concludes with this ominous pre-
diction. 81 would say that within the
next seven years there will happen that
which has not happened for hundreds
OF years; all the planets at or near
their nearest pointto the sun about the
same time. 1t Is true Of the earth that
its magnetic intensity Is greatest about
the time when 1t IS near the sun; The
same is probably true Of MI the planets; :;
therefore we may expect extraordinary
magnetic phenomena during the next
seven years, and great plaques, which
will manifest themselves in all their
intensity when Jupiter Is about three
years from his pcrhellon-that Is, In

SCIENCE.

Experiments on the Structure Of Fon.--
Tho experiments made by M. Fresca,
ou the effects Of forging on the struc-
ture Of iron, are published by the for
eign journals-the fact, as shown by
him, beiug the tendency to parallelism
of all the flbres which originate In
drawing-out under the hammer, and
which are separated from the neighbOr-
ing flbrcs by cementing substance de-
rived from the incorporated cinder, fill
ing up all the void spaces between the
fibres. This matter, according to NJ.
FreSca, Is frequently of a VitreOus na-
ture, very rich In oxide Of iron, and,
when 1t Is not burned OFF or pulverizcd
ut the surface Of the piece when in the
hands Of tho smith, it follows all the
varieties of form to which the piece is
shaped In Its several parts. An Oblong
piece of iron may, says M. Frcsca, be
compared to hank of parallel threads,
which will interlock with each other
when it Is attempted to draw them out
lengthwise, but which will separate In
much less regular manner when they
are drawn IN the GRO swisc direction,
at the risk Of throwing into confusion
the regularity Of the original arrange
ment--forming knots and v0ids.
The weakening effect Of this latter Is
railing bar, in the formation Of which u
rectangular bar is transformed, in re-
spect of its transverse section, into
number of rcctangles and circles rcgu-
larly distributed, the tibres In tho cir
cular parts losing the parallclism which
Is visible in the rectangular parts-a
condition which would be critical,
were 1t not that the central part of the
enlargement Is afterwards to be bored
out. The intcrpositiOn of the friablc
silicatcs between Che tibres which are
more properly metallic, IS II serious
point.

"OCCASIONAL'S" NOTES.
About Mail Facilities Attractions Of the
Snake River vaIloy-Oiher Matters.
RAwLINs, Wyo., Jan.

RAwLINs, Wyo., Jan. 16, 1879.
TO the Editor OF The Leader:
The cold weather in Rawlins does
not interfere with business, for, as /
write there are within sight five build
ings, on which men are working,
the same as In mid summer;
except that gloves are being worn on
the hands aud some are muffed n little
to protect their ears from frost.
Charles F. Perkins is in town, having
arrived from Dixon, on the Snake river,
for the purpose of concluding a con-
tract with Minor, Peck & Co., to carry
the mail from this place to White river
agency. Mr.. Perkins has been carrying
the mail for several months. He was
the carrier prior to July, 1873. Another
party undertaking him took the route,
but after carrying 1t for a few months,
failed, and now it will again pass into
responsible hands. Nj. Perkins estab-
lished the fact during his former con-
tract that what he undertook he would
accomplish; hence the effort to get him
on the route again. There is now only
a weekly mail running, but a petition
Is being extensively signed here and by
the people along the route to have a tri-
weekly mail established. 1t is hoped
the postofice department will grant the
petition, as there are large settlements
of people who get their mail by this
route, and who have been accustomed
to better mail accommodations.
By the way, in looking we the ex-
tracts from Gov. Hoyt's report, pub
lished in the LEADER, l observed that
almost all the agricultural fields of
Wyoming have BEEN noticed, but the
Snake river valley. It is readily under
stood that in a report of that kind the
whole could not be told. l am not
finding fault, but desire simply to call
attention to this rich valley, where for
the past six or sever years grain and
vegetables of unsurpassed quality have
grown without irrigation. Along
Snake river there is quite a body OF heavy
timber, and the valley along the river
ranges from half a mile to two miles
wide for a distance of forty. to fifty
miles, will produce large crops of the
finest grade without irrigation. On the
table lands or foot hills there are thous-
ands Of acres of fertile lands, suscept-
ible Of a high state OF cultivation and
easily irrigated from Snake river.
These lands are, as yet, u~nsurveyed,

and "can be had for the taking,n with
plenty of for the selection Of
choice sites far a home. The valley.
besides being a ine location for farming,
Is bordered on both sides by as good
stock ranges Us can be found anywhere
in Wyoming. and is beautifully sup
piled with pure water from innumer-
able spiilg, flowing out Of the
hills at every turn. Another feature
in favor of Snake river valley is that it
is almost entirely free from the strong
winds so common In some parts of
Wyoming and Colorado. There is now
a settlement of upward of thirty ranch
men on the river who are building
homes and fortunes for themselves and
families, which, in the near future will
rival much older settlementsy
Our new county officer have all been
regularly installed, and matters under
the new regime Are prospecting. Some
OF the defeated die hard, and every now
and then we hear a threat Of contest;
but all ends In talk and will result in
nothing more.
The Masonic fraternity is making
preparations In earnest for a ball on
the 22d of February. No doubt it will
be the grand affair of the season.

ORDERED OUT.
Six Companies Of The Filth Cavalry Going
10 Fight the Savages.

Ever since the Cheyenne outbreak at
Fort Robinson, fears have been enter
tanned that certain bands Of the Sioux
would be induced to go upon the war
path and seek to avenge the death of
the slain C~heyennes. While 1t would
be highly improper to create needless
alarm, it must be admitted that Indian
affairs to tho northeast of us are as
summing a most serious aspect. 1t is
now understood that Little Wolf, of
the Sioux, has gone on the wal path
with some 90 or 10 lodges of his tribe,
and is now on the road between old
Red Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies,
seeking whom he may be able to devour.
Each of his lodges numbers from 10 to
15 redskins; all are well armed, well
clad, and in excellent fighting trim.
In view of the existing troubles or
ders have been issued for the troops at
Fort Russell to march at once to the
threatened region Of country. Wagons
for use in the transportation Of the
troops are to be ready to move bye
O'Clock this morning. The troops are
expected to move, Mt IL O'Clock a. m,
going to old Red Cloud agency by way
OF Fort Laramie; thence to whatever
point they may be most needed. The
available force at Fort Russell will
equal about 376 men. Following are
the companies ordered out for active
service: A, Lieut.. j. A. .Augur; b,
Capt. r. II. Montgomery; D, Lieut..
Davis; +, Lieut.. S. A. Cherry; l, Lieut..
London, and NJ, Capt. Bab.ock.
