SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The people of Kansas, under the
forestry laws of that State, have planted
SO, 900 acres in trees. The cotton wood
is the most abundant, as it grows the
! most rapidly. About 5000 have been
planted in black walnut, and will make a
handsome return in eight or nine years.
The Scientific american pictures and
describes an instrument called the gas
troscope, by which it is possible to il
Illuminate the interior of the stomach,
and see the condition of it's lining men,
brane. 1t is an ingenious, delicate, and
probably very costly instrument, and is
more interesting as showing what can
be done than what is likely to be done
frequently.
Sixteen American inventions of
worldwide adoption are the cotton gin,
the planting machine, the telegraph, the
mower and reaper, the rotary printing
press, steam navigation, the hot air en-
CINE, the sewing machine, the India
rubber industry, the machine manufac-
tlre of horse-shoes, the sand blast for
carving, the gauge lathe, the grain ele-
vator, artificial ice making on a large
scale, the electric magnet, and the tele-
phone.
Another car-brake has been invent
ed, designed for braking all the cars of
a train at the same time by a single OPP
Grafton, this OBJ ect being accom- plished
by the application of the device to a
common form of brake at present in use,
which brakes cars independently of the
other. The mechanisms consists in a
number of extensible connecting rods
attached to each car, which themselves
actuate pulleys upon each car and wind
up chains which govern the brakes. By
this form of construction, the ordinary
form of brake attachment is not inter
fered with, so that either can be applied
at will. The arrangement is such that
it can be operated by the engineer or
man in.the rear car, and, by drawing
upon the rods on different sides, both
can operate it at once.
The impression that the Northeast
ern coast of the American continent is
slowly rising-the estimate of the rate
of emergence in progress being over
foot, and perhaps as much as three feet
in a century-has recently been contro-
verified by eminent scientific authorities,
among these being DR.. Mitchell of the
Coast Survey, who states that the salt
marshes are still, as they were in the
time of the early explorers, at ordinary
high water level, and that the rocks on
our coast, long notorious as dangerous
to navigation, have not risen since they
were discovered. Ancient. maps and
docum eats are cited, and the conditions
of the various rocks are considered in
detail, with the result just named. But
eastward of longitude 81 deg. - min,
and especially in Newfoundland, great
changes present themselves in the COM
parison of charts, the depth appearing
to be at some points less and at other
points greater now than formerly.

Suffering From Swallowing a Snake,

While out in the fields last summer
Mrs. David Schnauffer, of Sandlake,
took a drink of water from brook flow
ing through meadow back of the vii
lage, and when she returned home she
declared that she had swallowed snake.
Her family used every endeavor to con-
vince her that she was mistaken, and
for time, as no serious results were
experienced, Mrs. Schnauffer admitted
that perhaps she did not swallow the
reptile. Several weeks ago, however,
she began to feel a peculiar sensation in
her stomach, and was soon taken quite
i'll. She then renewed the assertion that
there was a snake in her stomach, and
to the doctors who have since attended
her she described the terrible sufferings
which she has undergone. The physi-
clans are now satisfied that the lady was
right when she claimed that she swal-
lowed the reptile, and all the known
remedies have been resorted to to relieve
her of the monster which has taken up
its abode in her stomach. The move
ments of the snake can be felt, and Mrs.
Schnauffer declares that it is growing
larger. The physicians intend to re-
move her to the Albany Hospital, where
the attempt to remove the reptile will
be made.-Ir0y { n. - Telegram.

The advantages of the American
baggage system in tracing and recover

trated on Tuesday evening. A deciple
of Izaak Walton was fishing off the
Howard street footbridge for tomcod,
with baggage check attached to his
line by way of a sinker, when, feeling a
tug at his hook, he pulled up and found
a valise securely fastened to his line.
This extraordinary luck has induced
number of down-towners to go fishing
for the key.-New London Day.

for minute the ice didn't fly SO thick,
Charley saw, just ahead, and hobbling

road! Now, SIR
| No use to ask me what I'd have done

/ can tell you what Charley did, and |
don't believe anybody could have done
any better. His heart thumped SO he
could almost hear it through all the
noise of the bells. But, quick as flash,
he put all his strength ON the right
rein, and pulled that horse with flying
jump into a big bank of snow drifted up
against the road fence. And Charley
kept right along.
He picked himself up in minute,
and looked around. The horse was
deep in the snow, standing quiet enough,
but trembling like a leaf. Charley I'M

snow, and turned the sleigh, and har-

Steve were waiting by the gate.

''Well, I'm glad of it," growled the
lawyer, and away he went. And

grandfather; for there were the May
boys and the Berry boys and Uncle
Timothy's boys, and each one of 'em
carried a broom.
Come along with you,'' said Ben
May; ''we're going to sweep the ice.
It's stopped snowing.''
So it had though we hadn't noticed.
And so we took our skates and brooms,
and went along, Hal and l; and grand
father took up his paper again. -Har-
