The value Of this new crop to southwest

in connection With the superior advantages
it 6ne climate, short dry winters and good
grssiog affords for stock raising. Up to this
time western Kansas has had = decided ad-
vantage over eastern Kansas ~ grazing
country on account of its buffalo grass and
better climate. On the other hand eastern
Kansas has had the advantage in winter feed
ing preparatory 10 turning of stock fer beef
on account Of the cheaper corn, but the cheap
ness and success with which nc. corn il now
rai-ed in the western counties places them on
an equality with the eastern counties for fat
tening stock, while its superior advantages
for grazing still remain.
Buffalo gras and rice corn in latitude
and climate like that Of southwest Kansas
will produce beef, mutton or wool at q coel
that almost de6es competition.
Every man Who thinks Of locating in these
southwest counties should come prepared to
invest in = small herd Of cattle or flock OF
sheep. These, we'll cared for, will SOON make

have crop that in the west has never failed.

The August Meteors.

node of the third comet of 1862. in the
orbit OF which they are found to travel.
are reported, says Nature, to have been
less numerous this month than in anv
most recent years. The earth arrived
IN the longitude OF the node about mid
night on the 9th ult., and in this posi-
ton is only 100000 miles, or less than
twice the moons distance from the com
cts track. Even if less frequent in sew
eral past years, a considerable number
WAS observed on August 9, 10 and IL.
and on the latter night a conspicuous
Aurora Borealis, which phenomenon has
so often accompanied meteoric displays,
was witnessed in the north of England.

the meteors We're sufficiently frequen1
and bright to attract the attention of
persons in the suburbs of London who
were not looking for them, but there
were very few later in the evening.
1t has been frequently remarked that
the August meteors, must be much
o widely distributed along the com.
etery orbit than those os the November
period-the Leonids-movinc in the
track of the first comet Of 1866. The

ing to Professor Oppolzer's investiga-
ton, about 1901 or 1902, and, not
wlthstanding the great distance of the
comet. there was a remarkable meteoric
display. Herrick reports a letter from
DIR. Joseph Priestley, describing the phe-
as he witnessed it on August
:, 1901, amongst the metecrs being ga
prodigious number of hre balls" He
compared the whole to q brilliant dis
play of fireworks.

mers should not have been able to rec.
ognize any previous appearance of the
Perseids, notwithstanding its close ap
to the esrth's orbit when the
penhelion passage takes place IN the
summer. Perhaps for many past cen
.uries the perihelion may have fallen in
he Winter, when the comet would
ave greater chance of escaping notice.

Intellect in Brutes.

Instinct apart, cases Of intelligence in
animals are very numerous, of the atiec-
tons still more numerous. Comte was
CT opinion thst the affections were even
more highly developed in animals than
in men. The dog will lay down life for
the man he loves, the horse will do SO
likewise, We have all heard of Grey
friars Robby, if that be the creatures
name. But instances crowd on the
memory. a few years back, during a
heavy gale, a sweep of the spanker
boom drove the Master of Leith and
London smack into the sea. Instantly
the ships dog bounded in after, and,
sustaining the drowning man, both
passed grandly into the ~eternities to-
gether. | have known cats who let
themselves into the dwelling house at
pleasure, and at least three dogs who
were wont to deposit the pennies given
them on the counter of some baker or
pastry-cook in return for value received.
| used to meet on the highway a dog
who rode behind his masters groom.
The hardest trot never seemed to dis
compose his seat. Even birds-not
merely trained birds-sometimes dis
play singular ~attainments. | knew q
lady who had a singing duck, but being
one day at a loss for a couple, she sacri-
feed the songstress to make up a pair.
One wishes that she had displayed a
little more humanity; as also a clergy
man not a hundred miles from where r
sit, who ordered a goose, that evinced
the warmest attachment, to be slain, by
reason OF the poor bird having followed
him on the occasion of paying a visit in
to a friends d~rawing-room. When a
boy | used to spend many a holiday at
a farmers house IN the County Armagh.
| there experienced great kindness, en-
joying myself as much as was we'll pos
sible, in the open air, the garden and
the stubble fields. Besides hun nan be-
ings, | had numerous playmates, too, in
the kline, swine, dogs, fowl, horned cat
tie and horses about the place, and in
deed was never tired in observing their
modes of living and acting. The great
house dog used often to play with Il
large hog. They alternately chased and
faced one another till the hogs chaps
would froth again actually with the
SPORT. Al first l supposed that the pig
did not ike it, but in this | was mis-
taken. One day a strange dog, an i'm
nense brute, made its appearance, and
attacked the house dog, vino was evi-
IDENTIFY getting the worst Of it, when WHO
should come ~ the rescue but the hog,
who instantly jumped on the strange
dogs back, assailing him with tooth and
hoof. Placed thus between two fires,
the stranger beat a speedy retreat, leav-
ing the friends complete masters of the

of Constances later she became the an
c~estress of the family of Lcria, cele-
brated in Rabbinical literature. Miriam,
too, vas thoroughly versed in rabbinical

GOVERNMENT OF SERyANTs.-Servants
need to be go' erned, and to feel that
they are governed. a good mistress
lets it be felt that she has Il steady hand
on the reins and means to keep her hold.
A horse knows at once if a feeble oS
hesitating hand is driving him, and takes
liberties accordingly. a child under
stands very quickly if you mean "No'
when you say it, or whether it is worth
while TO worry a little longer. The mis-
tress who is very indulgent to her SER
wants, or very hasty one minute and kind
the next, may be liked by them, but
rarely respected; whilst the mistress
who rules her servants, who knows every
detail of the household management,
and whom they know they can neither
swindle nor impose upon, will always be
respected even though she may not be
liked. A good servant, like a good SOL
der, never dreams Of rebelling against
the order and dicipline OF a well ar
ranged house.

The flash of Lightning.

The apparatus which, in our labora-
which light, moving at nearly 100000
miles per second, takes to pass over a
few feet, is required to prove to us that
lightning is not absolutely instantaneous.
Wheatstone has shown that it certainly
lasts less than a millionth part Of a
second. Take this along with Swans
datum, which | have just given you, and
you see that the apparent brightness of
the landscape, as lit up by a Lightning
flash, is less than one hundred thous-
andth part Of what it would be were
the lightning permanent. We have thus
rough materials for i%nstituting IA COM
parison between the intrinsic brightness
of lightning and of the sun. Transient
in the extreme as the phenomenon is, we
can still, in virtue OF the duration Of
visual impressions, form a tolerably ac-
curate conception of the form of a
flash ; and in recent times instantaneous
processes Of photography have given us
permanent records Of it. These, when
compared with Photographic records of
ordinary electric sparks, bear out to the
full the convictions at once forced nv
appearances on the old electricians, chat
a flash Of lightning is merely a very
large electric spark. The peculiar zig
gag form, sometimes apparently almost
doubling back on itself, the occasional
blfurcatlons, and various otherphenomena
of a lightning flash, are all shown by
the powerful sparks from an electric
machine. The ~spectroscope has recently
given US still more convincing evidence
of their identity, if any such should be
wanted. The bifurca ions of a flash can
puzzle no one who is experimentally ac-
%quainted with electricity, but the zig.
zae form is not quite so easily explained.
1t is certainly destroyed in the case of
short sparks 10y heating the air. Now,
heating in a tube of flame not only gets
rid of notes and other combustible ma
~terials, but it also remove all traces of
electritication from air. 1t is possible,
then, that the zig-zsg form Il lightning
flash may, in certain cases at least, be
due to local electriication. which would
have the same sort of effect rs heat in
r~arifying the air and making it a better
conductor. A remark is made very
commonly in thunder-storms which, if
correct, is obviously inconsistent with
what have said as to the extremely
short duration OF "A flash. The eye
could not possibly follow movement of
such extraordinary rapidity. Hence it
is clear ttet when people say they saw
a flash so upward to the clouds from the
sro.nd, or downward from the clouds to
the ground, they must be mistaken.
The origin OF the mistake seems to be a
subjective one, viz, that the central
parts OF the retira are more sensitive.
by practice, than the rest, and therefore
that the portion of the fash which is
seen directly affects the brain sooner
than the rest. Hence u spectator look.
ing toward either end of a flash very
naturally fancies that end to be its start
ing point.-Prof. TAFT, in Nature.
