The Rabbit Plague in Australia.

We have lately been told by an Anti
podean contemporary that desperate
struggle is now going on in South
Australia between man and rabbit .'for
the survival of the fittest." Every device
has been tentatively employed by the
farmer to get the better of his destruc-
tive and ubiquitous little enemy, but
.Providence"-a Napoleon was want
to say-.'favors big battalions," and the
victory remains hitherto with the swarm
ing armies of the aggressive rodent.
Ferrets, stoats and weasels have been
imported from England and turned down
among the rabbit-infested districts; but
the extraordinary and unnatural result
has been that, after short time, the
mustelid;e or weasel tribes began to
fraternize with the ''nimble, skipping
little animals, as Lord Granville once
called rabbits in the House of Lords.
For while it was hoped that poison, in
the form of stepped wheat or of phos-
phorized oats, would keep the rabbits
down; but hitherto they have triumphed
over the puny onslaughts of their human
assailants. Ithas been suggested-and
BY no one more forcibly than by Lord
Elcho-that wire-netting should be
thrown around the Australian wheat
fields to keep the rabbits out; but the ex-
pense is great, for the rabbit is a great
jumper, and can easily clear an obstacle
which is less than four feet in height.
Lord Elcho gave hint in these columns
to Australian agriculturists how to plant
their wire-netting so that the rabbits
could not burrow under it, his advice be-
ing that the bottom of the netting should
be buried underground, with an elbow
turned up two or three inches below the
surface, and running outward at right
angles to the upright stand. The rabbit,
when he begins to burrow, soon lights
upon the buried obstruction, and gives
up the attempt to scratch his way under
the upright wire-netting which protects
the crop from its hungry teeth.-London

Piute Engineering.

Yesterday afternoon bevy of Piute
squaws were at work wood-gathering on
Mill street, short distance above the
high railroad bridge that crosses over to
the grounds of the Ophir Mining com,
pany. They had secured stick OF WOOD
which was to long to be conveniently car
ried, and desired to break it in two;
Such was the problem to be solved, ana
they went about the business as follows:
The stubborn stick was placed in
slanting position against bowlder some
four feet in height. This being arrang,
ed two squaws raised a rock that wouiu
weigh about $50 pounds, and placed IL
on the head OF q third sqaw. The squaw
after properly posing the rock with her
hands, made short run, then springlng
from her feet, after the fashion OF a
fighting ram, discharged the ponderous
rock.
She missed her aim. The rock, after
describing curve of several feet in the
air, fell with a crash against the bowideI
alongside of the stick of wood.
She was evidently good deal cha
grined at the failure of the first effort.
When the rock was again poised upon
her head, she walked off some thirty
feet, and when she darted forward, it
was plainly to be seen that she meant
mischief.
Running forward some twenty feet
she suddenly bounded high in the air
and discharged the great rock. Being
but light and slender, when the heavy
rock left her head all ballast was gone
and she spun around in the air some
four or five times, finally coming down
on her feet and all right. The result OF
her effort was, however, somewhat DIS
astrous to one of her assistants. The
stick was fairly struck and broken, but
the upper end of it flew back and struck
the largest and latest squaw squarely
in the stomach, stretching her upon the
ground as one dead. A great cutlery
was raised by all the squaws and pa
pooses, a lot of bucks came tearing down
the railroad track from the neighborhood
of the lumber-yards, and for time
there was great commotion. A few
handfulls of snow finally brought the
injured squaw to her legs. and when
she got up she gazed wildly about as
though wondering to see that no one
else was injured by the explosion.-Vfr-

Yas lie Not Right!


Our esteemed contemporary, the Phil
adelphia Times, has some observations
upon the discussion concerning MIR. Til
den as possible candidate for President
in 1881; and Of these observations the
following seem to US to merit especial no
tice:
ut is not doubted that Mr.. Tilden is feeble
physically. but he is worth u dozen dead men
yet, rs hts recent letters prove. He will never
be President. mainly for the reason that when
elected he didn't become President. The men
he then allowed to cheat him out of his office
will never forgive him for the wrong they did
him, and the party that gave him more than a
quarter of a million popular majority won
fight for the man that won't fight for himself
The first thing to be said upon these
points is that if in 1880 Mr.. 1ilden had
allowed himself to be nominated, he
would in all probability have been
elected General Hancock came very
near being elected; and yet his nom
ination presented no such issue and
raised no such popular enthusiasm as
would have followed the nomination OF
Mr.. Tilden. The reason why Mr.. Til
den was not nominated was that he re-
fused; and the reason why he refused
was precisely the reason stated by him
in his letter of refusal.
We are told by the Times that "the
party which gave him more than quar-
ter of a million popular majority won t
fight for the man that won't fight for
himself" We can only understand this
as meaning that in 1867 MIR. Tilden
should have declared himself President,
and should have maintained his title to
the office by fighting.
In our judgment, this would have
been terrible mistake. The course
adopted by him seems to us altogether
wiser, more patriotic, and more lauda-
bic. In the temper of the Republican
party and the country at that time, and
with the unanimous determination OF
all the ofliceholders and of the great
mass of the Republican voters to main
tain their party in power by every
means, such fighting would doubtless
have inaugurated one of the most bitter
and sanguinary of civil wars. 1t is to
the immortal honor of Mr.. Tilden that
he shrank from this dread alternative,
preferring TO refer the question to the
tribunal of history and to the justice OF
the future. That justice has already
decided in his favor. There is no lon
ger any disinterested and well-informed
man who doubts that the installation OF
Hayes in the White House was utterly
fraudulent; and although Mr.. Tilden
has not enjoyed the opportunity of re-
forming the Government, he can al
least carry with him to the last the re-
Election that he deliberately submitted
to the EXTREMIST wrong which partisan
malignity could inHict, rather than seek
through fighting to enforce a claim
whose Justice time and the evidence Of
truth have now firmly established. N

Jelly from Ivory.

The last sale of ivory at Liverpool
was the largest which has taken place
for a long time Manufacturers who
were present tell us that the prices real
lied show an advance of from 20s. to Sos.
per cwt. All the lots were sold. There
were buyers not only from the. English
towns, but from America and the con-
tinent Ivory is very largely used in the
Sheffield trades, more especially for haft-
ing cutlery of all kinds. The demand
for billiard and bagatelle balls, as well
as for piano keys, has greatly increased
of late years. One leading cutlery house
made calculation some time ago, sug-
gested by a question put by a visitor
They estimated that to supply themselves
with the ivory they needed for the
handles of their cutlery, etc., they re-
Tquired 1880 elephants every year, and
that even on the basis that each tusk
weighed 23a pounds. In magazine the
question was recently put, ''What be-
comes Of the ivory wasteP'' There is no
ivory waste. In the cutting of the ivory
the powder which comes away is sold for
making Jelly. 1t has long been used
abroad, and is now getting pretty well
known in this country. 1t is sold at 4d.
per pound, made up into parcels, and is
regarded IS an excellent material for
making jelly, particularly in the country,
where calves feet are not always procur-
able when equired.-Enginecr.

Space and Electricity.

How far we have annihilated space
and time by means of electricity let the
following incident, related by the Times
of India, show: During the repairs
of the telegraph cable near Bombay. the
steamers Chiltern and Great Northern
were about half a mile apart, the for
mer having hold of shore cable, and so
was in Geographic communication with
Bombay; the latter having hold of q sea
end, and so was in Geographic commu-
nication with Alden. The Chiltern de-
sired the Great Northern to splice on to
the cable end held by the latter, and
pay out three7auarters Of mile Of cable,
and this was communicated by wire
from the restroom of the Chiltern pass
ing through all the coils of cables in her
held and on to Bombay, whence it was
sent on to Alden, and back from Alden
to the Great Northern. Thus, as a
speedy means of sending message half
a mile, it was forwarded by route be-
tween three and four thousand miles
long. The following morning, when the
two vessels were within quarter of a
mile of each other communications
passed between them constantly in the
same way.'' 1t is quite evident that as
railway and steamboat travelling and
telegraphing progress we shall have to
adopt some other means of measuring
distances than those we now possess.
