A Forest of Lightning,

The est. Elmo's Fire. or electricity
seen playing on the bayonets of march
ing armies, and around the spars and
masts of ships, comes from the presence
of charged cloud in the air, from
which the pointed objects draw the
lightning.
A splendid instance Of this same
phenomenon was witnessed in the Jura
at st. Cergues, where whole forest OF
pine trees was seen to be aglow with
light, like a phosphorescent sea in the
tropics. A thunderstorm was raging at
the time, and at every fash Of lightning
the illumination entirely disappeared,
but soon shone forth again until the
next flash came.
Before the appearance Of this st.
Elmo's fire, heavy rains had fallen and
soaked the forest, so as to render it con-
ductive of electricity, and the thunder
cloud overhead, heavily charged with
electricity, had induced an opposite
charge on the ground below, which dis
charged itself into the air by the point
ed boughs and needles Of the pine treesL

New Railroad Brake,

A railroad brake, which is instantly
applied and continuous in its action, and
which the inventor proposes to render
automatic, is described by NJ. Hospital
ier, in La Nature. 1t is worked by
means Of two of the secondary batteries
of NJ. Plsute, each of these being charged
by three Daniel cells. The action Of
the apparatus is dependent upon the ad.
hesion of an electro magnet to the axle
Of the wheels, by means of which two
chains, attached to levers carrying fric-
ton blocks, are wound upon a drum. In
some experiments upon II train Of thir.
teen carriages, travelling at the rate Of
seventy-three kilometers pei hour, the
train was brought to q standstill IN
twenty-one seconds, moving through Z
distance Of two hundred and fifteen
meters after the brake was applied.

GENERAL ROBERT TooMDs is not the
only Georgian who is entitled to the dis
tinction of not being citizen of the
United States. General Henry r. Jack
son, Of Savannah, keeps General Toombs
company in this regard. General Jack
son was Il Colonel in the United States
Army at the age of twenty-three, then n
Federal Judge, Minister to Austria, and
afterward Judge of Confederate States
Court and on that account is among
those excepted from the general amnesty
bill.
In Trinity County, Texas, little white
boy, aged about twelve years, the son of
Mr.. Dwire, was hoeing in the field in
company with two negroes, when third
boy, Bud Evans, sixteen years old, ap-
preached the parties at work, armed
with an Enfield gun, and one of the ne
groes remarked: Here's Bud. If he'd
a been the Sheriff he could rested
every one o u.s." The negro Evans re-
piled, Eyes, and here's the way I'd a
done it" raised the gun, took deliberate
aim at the innocent little white boy, and
fired, the shot passing through the
child's body, and he died from the eff
fects of the wound about three hours
afterward. The negro claims to have
done the deed by accident, and says
there was no cap on the gun, but investi-
cation proves his assertion to be false.
The negro has been arrested.

Large Crops of Corn Fodder.

Several correspondents in late issue
of the country Gcntiemdn seem to have
given fromactual weight on small patches
of their fields, pretty reliable estimates
of the amounts which We're crown per
acre, previous to the curing of the corn.
They state these weights at 2S 35, 3G,
and As tons, respectively, per acre. The
latter was sowcd in drills three feet apart,
using three bushels Of seed per acre, and
the season was perfect i'll every respect
for its growth. They do not state what
the weather was when the corn was cut,
or the time of day it was done. To be
fair in such trial, the weather ought to
be sunny two days before, and the stalks
not cut till all the morning dew was dried
off. DIR. Bailey, of Massachusetts, as
serts, that he can grow 75 tons OF corn
stalks per acre. If he does, We think he
will have to resort to the Cuzco sort, Of
Peru, which grows there % feet high or
more, and is three inchs III diameter, or
80, at the butt. This would be about as
eatable and digestible as cOrd rood, I'M
less his method of ensilage can transform
it to palatable fodder. He is now cult
waiting a mammoth ensilage corn, of which
he thinks highly. We hope when his
crop of this has been gathered and fed to
his animals, he will give not only its
yield per acre, but the value of its fod-
der to his stock i'll comparison with the
smaller sweet corn. .-RWai NeW Yorker

Travelling in Arabia.

Camels and dromedaries are amazingly
adapted for traversing the dry and
parched deserts Of Arabia; for they are
SO formed that they can throw up tho
liquid from their stomachs into their
throats, by which means they can travel
six or eight days without water. Tho
camels usually carry 800 pounds weight
upon their backs, which Is not taken of
during the whole Of the journey; for
they naturally kneel down to rest, and
in due time rise with the load. The
dromedary is q small camel, with two
punches on its back, and remarkably
swift. It is an observation among the
Arabs that wherever there are trees the
water is not far of; and, when they draw
near pool, their camels will smell at .
great distance, and set up their fast trot
until they come to it

Fort Buford and made his report. He
reached Sitting Bulls camp in the Bri-

had an interview with the principal
chiefs in a council. Sitting Bull made a
long speech, in which he claimed that he
had never made war on the United
States and had acted on the defensive.
He said he recognized that the time had
come for an understanding with the
United States, but said Maj. Walsh had
proposed to mediate, and he, Bull,
wanted to wait for Walshs return from

the Goth of the month, Sitting Bull

erton thinks their surrender can be
effected without difficulty. Sitting
Bulls followers number about 800.
