THE FOODS CRAZE.
Curious Eject Of Losing Both the Mind an,
Body ilt the Forest

curious Effect OF Losing Both the Mind and
Body ih the Forest.
The guides through the great wilder
ness of the Southern Alleghenies have
much to say of what they call the
"wood craze. F" The most expert hunter
they declare, is liable to become sud
denly bewildered in the intermiuable
forests, and once having lost his reckon

Henry Forde records the same fact in
Its relation to travellers through the

Nents OF companions; the position of

marks, fail to convince them of their
whereabouts. They simply are lost in
mind as well as in body" Old woods
men usually recover in a short time, but
men unused to the vast wilderness have
beenknown in their madness to fly at sight
OF parties sent torescue them, and to bury
themselves in the tbickets, where they
starve to death. Catlin was told by the
Indians that a man lost on the prairie
invariably travels in a circle, moving to
the left. An old hunter who lived
nearly century ago in Western Vir-
ginia, and left an autobiography behind
him, full of adventure and keen obser-
vatlons, tells us of a madness which
seizes the hunter after long pursuit of
his prey, and which he calls the "deer
fever. 81 have gone for two days and
nights through the deep snow, stripped
to my hunting shirt and absolutely with
out food" he says, "and neither felt
cold nor hunger. [ was burning in-
wardly, and, as everybody knows, man
never cares to eat when fever is upon
him, and is stronger tken than at any
other time"
These random facts are worth noting,
as they really index important truths in
the science OF the mind and its ailments.
The rancheros OF New Mexico, and the
cowboys of Arizona have some curious
traditions and customs, which are found
ed upon natdral laws that are but little
understood. One Of these is their be-
lief that isolated cattle can and do find
their way to their birthplace across the
plains if released after a journey of hun
dreds of miles upon a railroad train.
This is, after all, no more singular than
the coming back Of fish to spawn in their
native waters, q phenomenon which oc-

HOW F4ST THE BAMBOO GR0Ws.

HOW F4ST THE BAMBOO GROWS.
There are some fine old bamboos in a
neighboring grove, standing in sym
metrical order, their feathery tops
piercing the sky. The bamboo not only
gives voice in its growth, but it grows
SO rapidly that you can see it increase in
height as you look at it. One gentle
man of our party assured me that he
has bamboos growing on his place that
are increasing In height three feet in
twenty-four hours. Our host told me
that the grove we were looking at at
tanned its growth in about thirty days,
and they were at leastforty feet in height.
The first few days the growth is not SO
rapid as during the last fifteen Gays.
The bamboo never grows in diameter
after leaving the ground. There are
different species-some as delicate in
their rotundity as lady's riding whip,
while some are several inches in
diameter. At ripe old age the bamboo
flowers and dies. The grove we were
looking at was standing in the place
where had grown, blossomed and died
some of the same family. It is said that
as the twig is bent the tree is inclined.
As tine bamboo shows itself at two feet
above the ground, it remains in girth
during its life. It shows the same
appearance always. The secret of its
finely fibered exterior is thus accounted
for. The BAMBOO of to-day will be the
same until it adorns itself with it's death
chsplet. It is the very personifcation
of vigor. When it is once rooted in the
soil it is there for all time, or until every
vestige of root fiber is eradicated. 1t
extends its roots IN all directions and
grows as fast almost laterally under
ground as its shoots do above. When
the shoots make their appearance SO
rapidly do they grow that the ground is
raised and broken above them. In
China, for the punishment of certain
crimes, it is provided that the culprit
shall be bent over a growing bamboo
a terrible infiction of punishment it
must BE- because it means nothing more
nor less than implement. And yet so
tender are the young shoots that they
are eaten as vegetable, and considered
a delicacy. San Francisco Chronicle.

The cathedral of Speyer is the great
est monument of the Romanesque style
of architecture in Germany, larger than
the cathedrals of Ulm OR Strasbourg,
and therefore still larger than the build
ings of Mayence or st. Stephen of Wen
ma, and is only surpassed by the Dom Of
Cologne. Of the churches outside of
Germany, the largest throughout the
world are st. Peters at Rome, the Dom
of Milan, st. Pauls at Rome, st. So
phia's at Constantinople, the Duomes at
Florence, and st. Paul's in London. All
of these churches thus enumerated here
according to their size, are larger than
the Cologne Cathedral in its completion.
st. Peters at Rome occupies an area
three times the size of that of the Dom
of Cologne of similar size with the
Speyer cathedral is that of Antwerp,
and only next to that is the celebrated
Notre Dame of Paris. The great cathe-
dral of the Speyer is celebrated as the
place of assembly of the famous con.lave

LATIN TYPE FOR THE GERMANS.

An interesting article on German VS..
Latin type, in a recent number of the
DeUtsche Re1ldSchau, sketches the his
tory OF a struggle in Germany, which
must end at last in the triumph of
common sense over patriotic sentiment.
The Gothic type was the creation Of
the earliest German printers, who
wished to make their books as much
like contemporary manuscripts as pos
sible. The Latin type antigua - in
printers parlance-was, broadly speak
ing, the creation of Italian humanism
which chung to it as representing at
once close approximation to the char
acter of classical antiquity and rebellion
against the monks, from whose manu-
script character the Gothic type was
developed. Already in 1869 Leibnitz
urged upon his German countrymen the
abandonment of the Gothic type for the
more cosmopoliton "antiqua," and in
the following century it seemed as if
literary Germany were about to take his
advice. Toward the end of the eight
eenth century the new OF Latin type
became burning question. Goethe
was at one time on the side of change;
Kant, on the other hand, protested en-
ergeticailv against the abandonment OF
tie nallonat character. At tie present
day victory is once more inclining to
Rome against the barbarians. Forty
per cent. of all books printed in Ger
many in 1880 were printed in " "antiqua, ~
AND the proportion is steadily increas-
ing. The Latin type must finally win
in Germany as it has won elsewhere,
Prof. Kelle is persuaded; but its friends
will do we'll to let it win naturally and
gradually, without forcing it on the
country by any attempts at legislation.

came down to Mr.. Rogers with some of
Burleigh's ''copy," saying that if ne had

to pay him by the hour, because he
couldn't make his salt setting by the
thousand. Rogers Immediately wrote
Burleigh note, telling him that if he
couldn't write so that his letters could
be read, he had better either quit writ
ing or get somebody to do his writing
for him. In day or two there arrived
an envelope with Rogers signature cut
out from the letter and pasted upon it,
, and "Care Boston Journal" written be-
meath. Upon being opened it read as
follows Dear Sir-I have received a
letter which, from the printed heading,
I assume to be from the Journal office.

A Texas Goat Ranch.
From the Galveston (Texas) News. ]


 The editor of the Enalde Esperfa,a has made visit to the famous Nuecss canon, in- cluding the Angora ranch of $. J. Arnold < Brothers. Here the canon widens out for a distance of seven miles in fact it is the widest and most beautiful spot in the canon Those gentlemen own and control about 15,- 900 acres, embracing the rich valleys eff Maverick creek on the west and Ranch creek on the east, which are only miniature canons putting into the Nueces valley from either side, furnishing an abundance of grass and water the year round, and which is used as 8 summer range, while in Kinney county they have another ranch where they winter their sheep until after the lambing season, keeping the goats on the home ranch during the kid ding season. Six years ago last July these gentlemen begun with 875 goats and 400 head of sheep. Now they have 4,O00 of the former and 3, 1000 of the latter. Their losses in sheep will amount to about the same in money values as their purchases, while on the goat question they are 2,o00 ahead of their losses, besides their increase. During this period their losses from disease and otherwise have not been over two per cent. of their goats. They run seven different f1ocks which gave steady employment to seven herders, besides 8 viciero (who super intends the fiocks), as well as extra hands to attend to other work on the ranche. In the shearing, lambing and dipping seasons of course the number is greatly augmented. On this ranch the goats have been improved up by the best of thoroughbred billies, until now the grades run from one half to fifteen sixteenths. Last spring their goat clip amounted to twelve hundred pounds, which was sold in New York at an average of forty cents. We have often heard the question asked, What profit is there in goats In common goats the profit lies in the hides and tallow which always command 6 good price, and the supply of good meat in a shape that will not spoil in warm weather before it can ID os, n Arat atr can be graded up SC high that the wool is more profitable than that of sheep, while the animal itself Is hardier, more prolific and less expensive.

The Sense of Hearing In Insects

The sense of hearing in insects has been recently studied by Herr Gruber. Of air. insects he found the cockroach (Blatta Ger
 manica) very sensitive. On sounding a vio- lin note when a coekroach was running across the floor, the creature always suddenly stopped. Again, a number of these cock reaches were enclosed in glass vessel, and
 on making a strong sound there was evident agitation and excitement; some would fall down from the glass if paralyzed. A cockroach was hung by 8 thread from it's hind leg when it was quiet bow was drawn sharply over the violin strings at distance of four feet, whereupon the insect was great.
 ly excited and struggled round, getting it's
 head uppermost. Beetles also were readily affected by sounds; but grubs and ants gave
 no certain indications. Of aquatic insects,
 various kind of Corixa were tried. These
 would often remain quite quiet for several
 minutes, but on tapping the glass with 8
 tion. A disc at the end of long rod, drawn
 produced no effect but on conducting the
 sound of a struck bell into the liquid by the rod there was lively reaction; similarly, when glass bell, stroked with bow, was brought to touch the water. These creatures were also sensitive to high violin notes in air to the sound of 8 metal plate struck with 8 hammer, etc. Still more sensitive to sound were various aquatic beetles (Laccophitus, Ldcc06i1tS, NepG cinered, tfc. On the other hand, various larv@, especially of epheme rides, were unaffected; but these were sensi- tive to mechanical agitation of the water Herr Gruber considers the response the in scots made to sound an indication of true hearing, and not mere reflex action.

CAMERON AND THE LAND LEAGUE.
 The charge made by the Philadelphia Times that Bos> Cameron tried to buy the vote of the Land League in Pennsylvania is remarkable, even if it is not as preposterous as some appear to think. The letter of A. K. Mcclure, the editor of the Times, giving alleged facts in support of the charge, is very interesting document.
 Mr. Mcclure says the proposition to se- cure the Irish Land League vote in Pennsyl- van1a for General Beaver was conceived by John c. Delaney, who has long been known as dealer in Irish votes. On or about the 5th of June last, the letter says, Delaney first appeared in Washington on the mission for tho purchase of the Land League leaders. He conferred with several Irishmen who hold subordinate places in the government and are presumed to be willing to accept any method that promises to deliver the Irish votes to Cameron, whether honest or dis honest. He unreservedly declared his plan and purpose to fully half dozen men, and gave the name of Mir. Walsh of Pennsyl- vania as the man who had suggested negoti- ations with Edward O'Meagher Condon, as the Land League leader most likely to make and execute contract for the transfer of the Land League voters to Beaver. Delaney pro- posed to bring Condon and Cameron together to perfect the contract on the basis of the re-
 moval of Minister Lowell from England to
 enable Condon to mislead the Irish and the payment of a liberal amount of money to
 Condon. Delaney had a conference with Condon on or about the 5th of June. They discussed the whole plan and the details of the agreement were then made by which
 Condon and Delaney were to secure the re- moval of Minister Lowell, to give Condon 6 plea to present to the Irish Condon was to be paid iberally for his services in dsfraud. ing the Irish voters and he was to be de- tailed by Assistant Secretary New to nominal public inspection at different points in Penn sylvania, to enable him to reach the various Land League centers with an appearance of performing official duty. Delaney and Con- don called on and conferred with Cameron the day after, when the contract for the de- livery of the Land League vote to Beaver was perfected in all details, and Cameron agreed to have Assistant Secretary New as- sign Condon to ostensible duty in Pennsylva- mia.
 These facts, says Mir. Mcclure, are not given on idle rumor or loose statements of recollections. "They are in my possession as sworn facts, and they are within the knowledge of several persons with whom De- fancy conferred at the time and of several other persons to whom he detailed the whole facts substantially as I have given them to you.'' This disclosure, if it is proved to be true, will not hurt Cameron with his own crowd, but it will perhaps add somewhat to the zeal of his opponents.
