Davenport Iowal Democrat.

davenport iowa Dtuocrht.
In Nav, 1879, the largest meteoric
stone ever beheld in America fell on a
farm in Emmett county. The farm be-
longed 10 Mrs. Col. {. ii. Perry, of keo-
kuk. The stone lay embedded fifteen
feet deep in the ground foF ten or twelve
days, visited by hundreds of people,
each one carrying off piece of 1t. A
friend OF Mrs. Perry, residing in this
city, wrote her asking her II she would
not like TO have the meteoric stored in
the Davenport Academy of Sciences.
She replied that it would cost $50 to
Sl60 to get it cut and place it upon the
railroad train-for something would
have to he paid the tenant of the farm,
who claimed sort of partnership in
the ownership-and il the academy
would raise the amount it might have
the stone and welcome. Alas. there
wasn't dollar in the academy treasury,
and the effort TO raise the amount
failed.
Then Mr.. Berge gave Mrs. Perry
$3.50 for the stone, she supposing he in
tended il for an institution in this State
and Mr.. Berge gave the farm tenant
$50 or $50 tor the right of way across
his fields. And so Mr.. Berge got pos
session of that stone, and not long since
he sold it to the British Museum for
$500; and there it is To be placed in
glass case and preserved as celestial
wonder. Its weight when shipped for
London was 43l pounds. When Mr..
Berge was exhibiting the stone at keo-
kuk, Mrs. Perry secured couple o
pieces, and one of them she has sent to
a. rS
rvs gift are too late photographs of the
original stone. She says in her letter:
These views, with the specimen OF the
meteor, will illustrate the character OF
the great 9rolite, now so famous. The
specimen was scaled off in some way al.
ter it came to Keokuk, and weighs just
one pound. | hope there may be some
thing else | can do for that blessed acad-
envy, not only for the sake of those ! love
who are at work, but | feel greatly in
terested in il as an educational power i'll
the world. and as splendid example of
what may be accomplished by energy
and devotion to a good cause. Surely
the recognition that comes so gratefully
from abroad will start echoes at home"
Do you know what made the Emmet
county arolite so valuable? 1t was un-
like any other well authenticated rock
from heaven that ever fell upon earth.
1t was composed of earth, triolite, iron,
nickle, cobalt, phosphorus, copper. sul-
phur, lead. silver, gold, silica, magncsia,
aiumina, soda, lithia and potassium, all
distinct, yet all together like the partl-
cles of granite block. The piece in the
academy lies at the side of sample of
an prolite which fell i'm Johnson county,
in lS75-but the latter is nothing hut
stone glazed black with fire. and still
another piece of erolite, from California,
is in the case-and it is composed TO
splipts of iron.

The scientific institutions Of Kansas City,
including those of medical character, are
quite numerous aud .iirst-class. Pre'enders
in the medical or other sciences would
stand a very poor chance of making money
or living even, among such an intelligent
and educated cople as make up the great
bulk of the population, while genuine abil-
ity and real attainments are just as certain
to succeed. An institution of the latter
class is the Western Medical and Surgi-
cal Institute 50 successfully conducted by
Drs. Dickerson aud Stark, both gentlemen
Of high social standing in the city. A view

only one west of indianapolis supplied with

effort is spared in the institution to make
il an attractive home for its patrons and
one with which pleasant recollections OF
restored health will always be associated.

RECENT observations upon the habits
of the woodpecker have shown the
curious fact that the sounds made by
striking its bill against trees constitute
a performance taking the place of song
in other birds, and have no connection
with its quest for food. 1t carefully

trunks from which the most sonorous
sounds may be produced, and frequents

For several days previous to
the transaction, a "gentleman"
calling himself johnson and
protesting to be a horse trader,
was in Bayou Sara, awaiting,
as he said, the arrival of fifty
mules from Kentucky. John
son While in town made himself
generally agreeable and estab-
lished quite a reputation among
the boys for liberality from the
number of his treats to drinks,
etc, set up for their accommo-
dation. Saturday Johnson's
treasury became low and to
work he went to recllperate the
same. For this purpose he Sc

first duty of Bell was to give
an example of his talent in this

signature of Little John, a well

Sara. The next object was to
get this draft cashed. Upon
inquiry, Johnson was informed
that about the only house in
town with cash sufficient to
cash a draft Of this amount was
that of Messrs. Picard & We'll.
Then to this house Johnson re-
paired and presented the draft,
remarl1ing that he wished to
raise money to pay the passage
Of his mules which would be
down the next day Sunday
Mr.. s. We'll expressed a wiling
ness to accommodate the gen
tleman but remarked that he
would telegraph to the firm in
New Orleans, against whom the
draft was drawn, for their ac-
