Food and Swine Disease.

Last year the crop of corn in most
parts of this country was very light, and
as a consequence the price was high.
Many farmers who had hogs to fatten
sold corn and fed their hogs on other
materials. Less was heard about the
disease or diseases that are popularly
known as hog cholera than during sew
eral previous years. The absence of the
disease in places where it had prevailed
before may not be owing to the small
amount of corn eaten by hogs, but it
furnishes an indication that such was
the case. The disease generally known
as hog cholera has not prevailed to any
alarming extentin other countries where
vegetables, fruits, and grains other than
corn are fed to hogs to a considerable
extent. A diet composed almost exclu-
sively of corn does not appear to be IA
yorable to either men or beasts. 1t does
not answer for horses, COWS, or sheep.
They will fatten on it, but will soon fall
off in condition. There can be no doubt
about the excellence of corn for fatten-
ING hogs, but observation shows that it
should be fed in moderation and in con-
nection with other kinds of food that are
more easily digested, and which tend to
the production of muscle rather than fat.
Pumpkins, squashes, apples, artichokes,
potatoes, aud roots may not of them
selves produce much fat, but they aid di-
gestion, produce muscle, prevent dis
ease, insure steady growth, and keep
up the general condition of animals.
The like is true to considerable extent
with grass and clover. The past year
has helped to show farmers what may
be done on small amount of corn. Ii
hogs have not been very fat they have
been healthy.-Chicago Times.

Young MI: Taffitalker, as her little baby
brother of five bright summers came
toddling into the parlor, ''sweet child,

lier sisters; come here, cherub, and see
what I've got for you" And when the
cherub came and spread two fat, dim

Kate McKentrick, a young Scotcs
girl, was arraigned in the Tombs polics
Court, the other day, charged with
having victimized at least sixty manu-
facturers of the class that give out sewing
to be done by seamstresses at their
homes. The detectives told Justice
Power that the methods of the gang by
which the prisoner was employed con-
sisted in sending her to the firms in
search of work. She would be intrusted
with a pair of trousers, which she would
bring back the following day so well
finished that more work was intrusted
to her. From one firm she obtained
twenty pairs of trousers, which she never
returned. Not only had she victimized
wholesale tailoring establishments, but
firms in many other branches or trade.
The detectives had a list of goods thus
obtained valued at over $4,000. Kate
was arrested, after long search, on the
top floor of 8 tenement house. She

"A colored man employed by Mahlon
Vail, at Newmarket, near Plainfield, N.
j., was severely injured a few days ago
in an encounter with young stallion,
the property of MIR Vail. The man was
leading the animal to the barn when it
suddenly sprang upon him and knocked
him down, and kneeling upon his body
began to tear his clothing and flesh.
Several bystanders came to the aid of
the victim, but were unable to drive off
the horse until basket was thrown over
his head. This bewildered him 80 that
the man was enabled to get away and
start for the barn, but the enraged
animal made another rush at him, and,
knocking him down again, endeavored
to trample upon him. The bystanders
attacked the stallion with clubs and
stones, and finally stunned him.

TIE NEW SIAMESE TWINS.

The brothers Toeci, born in Turin in
1877, are considered to be even more
curious than the famous Siamcse twins.
They have two we'll formed heads,
two pairs of arms, and two thoraces,
with all internal organs but ut the
level of the sixth rib they coaIcscc into
one body.
They have only one abdomen, one
umbiIicus, ono anus, one right and one
left leg. Their genital organs consists
of penis and Scrotum, and at the back
there is a rudimentary male genital
organ, from which urine sometimes
escapes.
1t is a curious fact that the right leg
moves only under the control of the
right twin (namcd Baptistc), while the
other is movable only by tho left twin
(named Jacob.
AS Il result, they arc unable to walk.

TIE RECENT TORNADOES AND SUN
SPOTS.

If there were not great deal Of un-
certainty and contradiction involved
in the observations hitherto made for
the purpose Of determining whether the
condition Of the sun has anything to do
with the frequency or violence of ter
restrial storms, the recent tornadoes,
and those of April, coinciding SO close
ly as they have done with the great So
lar outbursts, would possess very great
weight as affirmative evidence. AS it
is, they tend strongly to favor the at.
firmative side of the question. Men
of science differ widely in their views
as to which side possesses the prepon-
derating weight of evidence. Hardly
anybody, however, now disputes the
influence of sun spots, or the cause
which produces sun spots, upon the
earth's magnetic condition. The evil
dence to prove that influence seems to
be overwhelming, and the connection
of the great auroral display and mag
netic storm in April and the less bril-
liant auroras of the present month
with solar outbursts is conceded. On
the other hand, the evidence of the in
tluence of sun spots upon the tempera-
ture and general meteorological condi-
tions of the earth is unsatisfactory.
The trouble is not so much the difficult
ty of perceiving what at least seem to
be indications of>such an influence, as
of reconciling the contradictions that
arise. Observers in some parts of the
world have noted slight increase of
terrestrial temperature during the
maximum periods of sun spots; Others
in other parts of the world have found
slight decrease of temperature during
the same periods. Prof. Young thinks
it would be fair to say, on th. whole,
that there is q very slight balance OF
! probability in favor of the view that
years Of sun-spot maximum are de-
gree or two cooler than those of sun
SPOT minimum; hat Re adds that tbs

next Investigation may carry the bal
ance to the other side.
There is better evidence of the con-
nection of sun spots with the frequen.
cy of great storms; but here, as In the
other case, contradictions have arisen,
and the whole subject is In an unsettled
condition. One great source of the uu.
certainty that attaches to the question,
perhaps the principal one, is the frag-
mentary nature of the observations.
They are mostly merely local, and ex-
tend over too brief periods. At pres
ent there is not sufficient means of con-
Meeting such observations so that they
will show what the effect of the sun
spot maxima is upon the earth taken
as n whole. From a general point of
view, contradictory results from local
observations need not be looked upon
as conclusive evidence against the ex-
istence of the suspected influence, both
because of the comparatively small
portion of the earth's surface covered
by the observations and because the
very contradictions observed indicate
some disturbance which, like many
other forces of nature, may manifest it.
self in different forms, according to To-
cal circumstances. although, could our
view embrace the whole of the phe-
nomena, we might find the general re-
suits to be uniform.
This subject is yearly attracting more
attention, and the observations made
last year and this year may 60 far tow
ard a solution of the puzzling question.
OF course, if we could be sure that
cyclones and other great storms are
more likely to occur during periods of
sun-spot maximum, that knowledge
might be of some use in guarding
against them but it is not likely that
this study will ever be of any great
service in furnishing storm warnings.
The knowledge to be acquired is of a
much more general nature though not
the less interesting or important on
that account.
