THE HAWK BOUNTY.
How Forest Birds are Increasing
IN Colorado.

Colorado Farmer.l
The annual outlay of over 5000 by
the state, shows that over 20,000hawks
are annually destroyed, to say nothing
Of the tremendous Otfsprings of these
10000 hawks. Suppose, then, that
these hawks require one bird per day
for their subsistence, We find that it
would require 100000 birds to feed
this mammoth flock of rapacious foes
of their feathered tribe for n year.
Seven million three hundred thousand
birds destroying ten grasshoppers per
day for thirty days, in the fall OF the
year when the hoppers are fall grown,
would aggregate the destruction OF
2.lO9.0 O0. O0O, or over 100000 bushels
per annum. These grasshoppers, II
allowed to remain undisturbed, would,
by the course Of generation, produce
enough young to destroy halfthe young
cereals in the state. The above figures
are only given as approximate proba-
bilities, but all observant farmers have
noticed the appearance and mysterious
disappearance of light flights OF grass
boppers for the last two or three falls,
and the marked increase of forest
birds, who appeared in myriad num-
bers, devourlng the pestiferous insects
with manifest gusto-few or none be-
ing allowed to remain long enough to
deposit their eggs for the destruction
Of the next springs early grain, And
suppose the hawks were allowed to in-
crease without interruption, how long
would it be until all the feathered
tribe which would be left would be
hawks, owls and their kindred flesh
eating allies. The absence of forest
trees in Colorado leavesthe little song
ster wholly at the mercy of their
relentless Zoe, and unless some pro-
tecion is afforded them, they must
fall easy victims to the hawks and be-
come exterminated, leaving the coun-
try as the pioneers found it; almost
entirely destitute of forest birds; when
a nan could travel for days in the
valley without a seeing half a dozen
birds, as any of the first settlers Of the
country can testify.

A Mirage on the Uonst.

ELECTORAL RennIIeni,nna.

Worcester Mass Spy.l
Ia the presidential campaign of 1856
the electors chosen in Wisconsin we're
prevented by a severe snow storm from
mreting on the first Wednesday OF
December, but met the next day and
voted for Fremont. Objection was
made to the counting Of the vote, but
the president Of the senate decided
that the matter could only be dis.
cussed by the two houses sitting sepa
rately, aud as there was as that time
no provision for such action, the vote
was counted.
At the presidential election Of 1866
objection was made to the counting Of
the vote Of Georgia because it was not
counted on the regular day, but it was
admitted. The case Of Georgia, how
ever, is M Of pure ~cussedness, and il
she Insists on violating the constitu.
ton in this respect she ought to lose
her vote. 1t would be a good time t
insist on such action now, when i
will make no difference in the result
and then Georgia will probably docid
to comply with the requirements 0
the constitution within the next fou
years.

Remedr ior DinhtherIa.

The following is said 10 be a certain
cure for d~iphtheria: Stir a teaspoonluI
Of -four Of sulphur in a wine glass O.
water and give it to the patient to gar
gle the throat with. In ten minutes
the patient will be out Of danger. In
extreme cases, when the fungus has
grown to such an extent as to preclude
The possibility Of garglmg, blow the
sulphur down the throat with a quill
This will cause the fungus to contract
aud then G rgling should be r%esorted
to. Or take live Goals in a shovel and
sprinkle a couple of spoonfuls of the
sulphur on them, and let the patient
inhale the fumes. This will kill the
fungus. The same remedy is recon.
mended for colds and asthma.

Novel Volcanic Eruption,

The members of the academy Of
sciences listened in their pleasant
parlors at No. l. West Thirty first
street, New York, Monday night, to an
account Of a novel volcanic eruption
at Lake I%lopango, San Salvador. The
phenomenon was described by Miss
Adelina Bierck in a spirited manner.
She stated that Lake Ilopango was a
body OF water twenty miles long and
eight miles wide near San Salvador
La January last the surface of the lake
was suddenly disturbed, steam as.
cended, and then there rose above the
water small hillocks discharging lava
and water. San Salvador at the same
time suffered from a great number Of
earthquake shocks. The hillocks in
the lake seemed to coalesce into one,
and this became a peak like hill l50
feet in height. Red-hot lava poured
out Of its top, Two other promiuen-
ees OF a similar nature arose from the
depths.
The lake had been 1900 feet in
depth in some places. But now the
bottom seemed to be raised; the lake
o%verhowed, and its tiny outlet to the
ocean became a raging river, the in
luence of which could be felt in the
sea two miles from the land. The an
was filed with poisonous gases and the
water of the lake at the edges became
warm, while neal the volcanoes it wa.
very hot. All rocks and trees touched
by the water became covered witt
mineral incrustations. Miss Biercb
rowed out upon the lake and discoy
cred that the volcano first formed
consisted Of a rock resembling grnnite
while the second formed was of loos,
sand and ashes. The third volcan,
was in such an active state Of eruption
that no one dared approach it.

All new cars Of the Louisville &

gondQla cars are thirty-two feet long.
The trucks Of all are exactly alike and
perfectly interchangeable. The axels
are Of the NJ. G. B. standard, and the
wheel seats turned sufficiently far
inside the wheels to allow them to be
pressed inward for the standard guage.
II is intended eventually to have but
one pattern o. axel and oil box on the
line. The same plan is intended Ia
be carried out with reference TO all
the other parts Of passengers and
