singular microseopical discovery, which
may prove highly important IN a sanitary.
point OF view, has been made by Thomas
Taylor, n. D., OF this city. microscopes, Of
the Department OF Agriculture. About a
year ago, while dissectius The proboscis OF
4 common househy, DR.. Taylor discovered
minute. snake-like animals moving quickly
from the proboscis. Continuing his ex-
periments from time TO time since then, he
finds that house-flics are very fr, quently
inhabited BY these animals. He has found
them generally in the proboscis OF the It's,
a!,h oush sometimes they are found in the
abdomen, and he thinks that since these
flies are carriers ofthcse minute, snakc-like
animals. they may in like manner be con.
veyers OF contagious germs. These animals
measure about S.l00 10 lilo OF an inch in
length,and about $4,000 Of IN inch in diam.
eier.; They are. classed under the Nona.
toid0, genus anquitlulG. They are much
larger than trichin;e, or so-ca!led vinegar
eels. II
DR.. TAYLOR has found as many as seven
Of these animals in the probuscis OF one ily
and three more in the abdomen, ten il all.
Sometimes noHe are discovered, sometimes
only one. But frequently four are seen.
Their presence is usually indicated BY a
rolling movement in the anterior portion
Of the proboscis. When this is observed,
ifa drop Of water is placed upon il the
animals will readily ieavethe proboscis and
take to the watar. They are frequently oh.
served passing in and GU. OF the proboscis

him about the accident. lie had Just come
from the wreck, lie said, and was awaiting
instructions from the Secretary OF War
before taking any steps toward criminal
prosecution in the matter. He said the
local Inspectors, Messrs Young and vii.
son, had charge OF the investigation. but
the law made il his duty also to ins.i.
tutc criminal proceedings il there was
reason to believe or suspect that the acci.
dent was the result OF culpable negligence
Concerning the cause Of the collision. and
where the responsibility should rest. Mr..
Fehrenbatch spoke very guardedly, a. was
proper under the circumstances. However
he plainly said there must have been gross
negligence on the part OF one or both OF the
pilots. Had the rules been observed the
accident could not have happened. Rule
states that when steamers are approach.
ins each other, the signal for passing shall
be one sound OF the steam.whis,le to keep
to the right, and two sounds OF the steam
whistle 10 keep TO the lett. These signals
are to be made frs, by the descending
steamer" Rule provides that Should
steamers be likely to pass near each other
and thesesignals should not be made and an.
swered BY the timesuch boats shall have ar
rived at the distance oieiSht hundred yards
from each other, the engine Of both boats
shall be stopped, or should these signals be
given and not properly understood, from
any cause whatever, both boats shall back
until their headway shall be fully checked.
and the engines shall no. again be started
ahead until the proper signals are made,
answered and understood ~
Had Keller, when he saw that the Lomas
WAS closer than she should have been with.
ont giving the first signal, blew the danger
signal, the accident would have been
ayerted, while had the Lomas acted in &C.
cordanoe with her last signal, and kent the

most Of thestatementsthere made were i'm.
possible, and he resolved TO see how things

that the number OF passengers on the boat
had been grossly exaggerated. He thinks It
impossible to carry FIVE orsix hundred per-
sons on the scioto. Illustrating the tendency
OF an observer 10 exaggerate the number

OUR FOOD fISflES.
An Interesting Report on the Subject
From Prof. Baird.

An Interesting Report on the Subject
From Prof. Baird. -.tt
WASHINGTON, July S.-rrojessor Baird,
OF the Smithsonian Institution, has pre-.
pared and Just presented 10 Congress a
very important special report on fisheries
and the food fishes OF the United States,
the result OF many years labor OF the
United States Commission. The very great
importance OF the Fish Commission 10 all
parts OF the. country has long been
acknowledged. Its distribution d. young
fish by many millions to stock or re.
stock our waters has borne fruit in srea,
increase Of the market supply OF fish in
almost every State OF the Union. Less Is
known OF its equally important labors in
exploring the haunts, the spawning SEA.
sons, and the habits OF deep sea fish, such
as cod, mackerel, halibut, and Others, and
thus enabling the rapid, artificial increase
OF some OF these fish, and pointing out to
our fishermen new fishing grounds. @g
III the work which Prof. Baird has now
presented 10 Congress, the rise, progress
and present condition of our iisherics aps
described with suggestions ior their fur
ther improvement, the methods and devi-
ces OF these fisheries Us developed from
time TO time, and the present actual stats.
tics OF these important industries. The
second part Of the report has special rela-
lions 10 the HABITS and characteristics
as well us the geographical distribution
OF the food fishes OF the United States, and
is accompanied by such M amount of de-
scripuve matter us will enable the various
species TO be readily identified. Ini this
part are included also drawings OF the
species described. made either from life or
recently preserved specimens. Prof. Baird
says in presenting this report:
Had the data now presented been in the
hands OF the American Commissioners a,
HALIFAX in 1877, no award oil damages
would or could have been made, and the
payment OF S:5,50O0G0 wou d have been
avoided. 1t will be borae in mind that
the twelve year treaty period expires in
1885, and that probably before that date
second commission will be detailed to con-
slider this subject anew. 1t il, therefore,
Of The utmost importance that the
fishery tables OF this report be printed
III ah!pic tllut 10 permit Oh their being
studied and utilized in the preparation Of
briefs and other documents 10 BE- used on
the occasion OF the convention in question.
The second special reason why the report
in question should be promptly printed as
desired is that it may form a part OF the
display at the International Fishery Ex DO.
sition, TO be held in London in May, 1883,
where its presentation would clearly show
that the American fisheries are Of vastly
greater importance both in extent and
valne than most OF combined Northern

MISGo, July 0, lss2.-Friday afternoon
Cap. Booth sent word to Wheeling for the
Belle Prince to assist him in raising the
scioto, which was promptly responded TO
by Capt. Billy Prince and his crew, taking
with him an immense coil oi three inch
rope and other working apparatus, arriving
at the fatal place shortly after dark, whert.
tue Annie l.. WAS also found ready ior duty.
After q consultation il was decided 10
await the light OF day before commencing
work. I
Saturday morning, shortly after six
O'Clock, MIR. J. Y. Ea.heart, OF the Cincin-
natl wrecking company. prepared himself
for an investigation OF the hull OF the
steamer, in order TO ascertain where he
could make ;astenings that would hold.
This having been accomplished, the Belle
Prince took position near the Ohio shore,
with Annie i. on the larboard side OF the
Scioto, but the wrecked boat stubbornly
refused 10 move IRON her watery grave.
At about 10 4. N. the Nail City was hailed
as she WAS passing, and tying her baryes TO
tie shore took position on the starboard
OF the Scioto, and after the lines had been
arranged, all took 4 good pull and push
together, which resulted in movin. the
wrecked steamer few feet. About din
ner time she had been moved about IS
feet, but the tirst attempt after dinner to
move her resulted in pulling on, her "bit"
TO which the Belle Prince had her line
hitched, in consequence OF which the
workmen were delayed some three hours
before another attempt could be made.
Saturday night found her about 70 feet
from the Ohio shore, laying directly across
the river. her bow 10 the shore.
Yesterday morning the river was fast
falling and > portion Of the hull was plain.
ly visible. The Welcome steamed up and
went 10 Wheeling, where, SHE procured
lumber nails, workmen, and provisions,
returning about ) P. ". with everything
Necessary 10 commence the work OF build
ing bulk head, and il the river continues
to fall the wrecked steamer will probably
be in Wheeling about Wednesday.
During Saturday there were but few pres
ent at any one time, say not over 800, ;,iost
OF whom were looking for news from
friends, and reportcrs from everywhere.
Yesterday the Little Annie took up an
excursion OF about ls2j, the C. y. Lucas
l50, and from Stcubeuvile and vicinity
there was about 600, all looking and specu.
laung on the horrible disaster. Quite q
number supposed the boat lay in the same
position there rs when the collision occur
ed, hence 1t was somewhat amusing to hear
the comments. To those who lave been
there the past week, the wonder is, what

aging, though they are not all that was
hoped Tor early in the season. There is a
considerable reduction In acreage OF wheat
in Iowa, Wisconsin and some parts OF Min
nesota, but In the lower part oi the last
named State, and In Dakota and Nebrska.
there Is large addition TO the area. The
same thing Is true OF other localities in
Iowa and Wisconsin. What wheat there
Is, ,ispromisine well. In Wisconsin the crop
will be larger than last year, but in Iowa |,
will not be SO large; the excess in
one State being about an offset
to the loss in the other. Last
year tho wheat crop OF Iowa was IS.
100000 bushels, or about half what il was
in 1850. This year it will probably be
somewhat less than il was last wear. In
Wisconsin, the crop last year was nearly
$4,000, 900, small gain over 1880, and
this year it may 90 above 10000, 900 bush.
els. In Illinois the crop last year was 20.
900 900 bushels, or nearly one.half the crop
OF 1850. This year the indications are
that the crop will exceed that OF 80, aud
may amount to 30,OO0,000 bushels, but
good deal depends on the luck OF the far.
rner in harvesting il. The wetness OF
the ground delays work and compels the
cradle TO be used instead OF the machine in
many cases. Nebraska last year produced
little less than 1900, 600 bushels OF wheat,
and this year promises TO 20 two or three
millions above that figure. The acreage is
larger and the grain is looking we'll. The
finest wheat reports come from Michigan,
The crop in that State two years ago was
over 200O0.000 bushels; this year i, prom.
ises 10 be nearly or quite equal 10 that. In
Indiana, the crop Two years ago was over
IS, ,O00, 900 bushels; last year about 81, 500.
900; this year ii will exceed the crop OF
last year, and may possibly reach fynres of
two ycars ago. In Missouri the corn is in
lair condition, and Will probably yield about
what 1t did last year; it may yield more.
Wheat ls very promising. Crop last year
was 2O,p00.000 bushels, was about two.
thirds OF that OF two years ago, and tha
crop this year may a!tAiu dimensions OF
that IN Minnesota. Crop OF las, year WAS
larger than that OF two years ago. This
year 1t will not probably vary greatly from
the 5000 900 produced in 1851. Corn in
Illinois last yrar was not much more than
half that Of 1879, and this year it is almost
certain 10 be much below last year; The
same is true Of the Iowa corn crop, and
even in Indiana, where the had weather
haa had the leas. effect the crop will not be
quite 20 lareeas las! year.
RYE, OATS AND POTATOES.
In III these places. these crops will be
large than ever before. In kansas the
wheat harvest is nearly over, and the crop
is estimated at 80, 100000 bushels, or more
than 81 PEI cent in excess OF the crop OF
