An Iowa Steam PlOW.

1t is announced that Mr.. III. C.
Wheeler, of Cherokee Co., Iowa, has
invented Il steam plow, combining
the features of the English system OF
a stationary engine and the American
system of traction engine. The
engine is run ahead 500 feet, then by
Il cable u system of ten plows is
drawn up, the engine is run on again
and 80 on to the end. Mr.. Wheeler
says. he can plow thirty acres day
ut cost of twenty-five cents an acre.
The inventor is an extensive farmer
himslf, and fully comrrehends the
invention of this kind. He has not
fully demonstrated the practicability
of the new system, but now he has
his engine at work on his farm near
Odebolt and will soon learn If his
expectations are to be realized. If
Mr.. Wheeler can plow for twenty-five
cents per acre he has settled the
problem. for, after all, the great thing
in the way of most efforts with steam
has been the expense of the opera
ton as compared with horse power.

Oscar Wilde's New Clothes.

Mr.. Oscar Wilde, having returned to
New York from the lecture tour by
which he placed $4,000 in his purse,
has intrusted an accomplished tailor of
the metropolis with commission to
construct him some clothes according to
plans and specifications which he him.
self has carefully prepared. One of
those suits is to he black, the other u
mouse color. The black suit has plain
black velvet doublet fitting tight to the
body, without any visible buttons, after
the style of France l, the lower part of
the sleeves being of embossed velvet
with embroidered ficlb-fower design
and fitting tight to the arm. The upper
part of the arm is to be in large pulls
of the same material, only of u large
pattern, and the body of plain velvet.
The sleeves are of two designs brocaded
velvet edged with delicate rufflc of
mOusselin de sole. Around the neck
is also narrow frill in three rows of the
same material as that which edges the
sleeves. The breeches are to come to the
knee and to be tight-fitting, with two
small buttons at the bottom. The stock.
ings are to be of black silk and the shoes
cut low and secured with silver buckle.
If any male creature in the republic
wishes to strut in garments of this fash.
ion, Mr.. Wilde has no patent that
would interfere with his free adoption
of these designs. Let him 90 in. The
costume would be very pretty one in
which to sell cough-drops.

Cause of the Death of Sheep.

Mr.. +. A. Paterson writes as fol-
lows to the Martin county Sentinel.
Allow me through your columns to
explain the disease which is killing
so many sheep in this county. The
disease consists in the presence OF
worms in the air passages OF lambs
and sheep. The worms are species
of strOngylus .flarid, or thread.worm,
closely akin to the fatal cape worm
in chicken (also stronghold which
DESTROYS so many young chickens. 1t
is the same species which iRhabit the
lungs and bronchial tubes Of the
sheep. The sheep seem to eat well,
but do not thrive. They gradually
grow poor and weak, and finally have
to lie down, and die in two or three
day. If the lungs are opened, worms
will be found from one to four inches
i'm length, some white, and others
with a dark line through the center.
Mr.. Stewart, who is the best authori-
ty on sheep in America, says that the
eggs are Matched out in the oviduct
of the mother, and the young worm,
one-fourth to one-half line in length,
is brought forth alive. When the
maternal worms have been expelled
from the body, the eggs may lie mae
tive for an indefinate period without
losing their vitality. The minute
worms will live in water, litter or
soil for IN entire year without further
development, but when taken in with
drink OF aliment they speedily make
l.i -, hn ntr
ing the smaller tubes first and devel-
Oping, in a course Of month, to a
length of two or even four lines. The
strange part of it is that not only do
these worms live in their embryo
condition in water, soil, etc., but
whenever introduced into the system,
they will produce themselves without
limit throughout the whole lifetime
of the sheep. One infected sheep
may stock any number of fields with
these destructive worms. Infected
sheep should be put in i close build
ing. and Il pinch or two OF the flowers
of sulphur burned on a piece Of paper
laid on an iron shovel. the sulphur
being added pinch by pinch until the
air is saturated us far as can be
brcathed without violent irritation
and coughing. Some person should
remain in the building with the sheep
and thereby avoid the risk of IN over
ouse. This should he kept up for
half AN hour, and the dose repeated
once week. Good nourishing food
should he given to the diseased sheep,
and the following ionic mixture
Equal parts of sulphate Of iron, gin
ger, genti;in and common salt-about
one teaspoonful to each sheep once
day, and the sheep taken to fresh
pasture.

Influence of Forests on Climate.

An interesting paper on the effects
upon climate resulting from the clear
ing away of large tracts of forest was
recently read beore the Geographical
Society. The facts are of universal
importance, but are specially inter-
esting to countries subject to alterna-
tiuns Of flood and drought. The pa
per related to forest destruction in
CoOrg, Southern India. This district
is composed of hills and valleys,
which were formerly covered with
forests. The lower slopes, however,
are now denuded, and the rainfall is
found to decrease with the removal of
the aboreal vegetation. AS regards
to the elevated crests of the Ghauts,
which intercept the rain bearing
winds of the southwest monsoon,
they would cause an abundant precip-
itation whether they were covered
with trees or not, but the water sup
ply and fertility Of the lower slopes
and plains to the east are seriously
diminished by the clearing of the
forests on the hills, and the result is
brought about in the following way
The natural forest acts as a check OH
the too rapid evaporation. and carry
ing off by streams, of the rainfall on
the surface OF the land. AS the rain
descends, it is gradually conveyed by
the leaves of trees to the dense under.
growth of shrubs and carpet of dead
leaves, and below this it encounters
u layer of vegetable mould, which
absorbs the water like a sponge. BY
these, aided by the roots of trees, the
moisture is transferred to the depths
of the earth, and reservoir of
springs is thus formed, which keeps
up perennial supply of water to the
lower land. But rain falling on the
bare surface of cleared lands runs off
at once by the nearest water-cOurses,
and none is retained to keep up the
flow during the dry season. Beside
which, evaporation is so much more
abundant from a surface exposed to
the sun than from land screened by Il
clothing of forest. and the flow of
surface water tends to sweep away
the clothing of soil, and render Il
district utterly barren. There is no
doubt that this is one of the main
causes, in hilly countries, OF drought
and floods. In France, for instance,
since the mountains of Auvergne and
Forey have been so denuded of for
ests, the Loire has been constantly
flooded, occasioning vast destruction
of property. The same cause as in
has caused frequent droughts
and the French government has late
ly been considering the proposition
of some scientific men to re-plant
the districts with trees.-Washington

Some Remarkable Idiots.

The Pennsylvania State Training
School for fecblc-minded children, ut
Media, has been visited by correspon-
dent. He found over three hundred
Young idiots under treatment calculated
to make them stronger in mind and body.
There are school rooms holding from
twenty to thirty pupils each. In the
more advanced classes, reading, writing,
arithmetic and geography are taught:
In kindergarten, visitors saw small
children modelling in clay. building block
houses, and weaving paper into fanciful
shapes. Cases of remarkable improve
ment were related. The great wonder
of the establishment, however, is thus
described
1.-The trite saying that blood will out
is exempliiied in the idiot savant, who
is never found among the lower orders:
A curious case of this kind is reckoned
among the pupils of this school. So 70
markable are his powers OF memory that,
after listening to a sermon or other dis
course, he is able to repeat it, verbatim,
preserving, also, the intonations OF the
speaker AS test of this singular fac.
ulty, the boy was once taken to Medis
to attend lecture upon some scientific
matter, and the next day was asked Il
repeat it. To the establishment of all hi
readily repeated the entire lecture
rendering Latin phrases and TECHNICAL
ties as glibly as the vernacular; yet il
his mentality the reflective power wa!
dull and feeble, and he was unable Il
convert into practical sense the knowl
edge he so liz Chilly acquired"

"Pegging," the new term in the stock

ready to take all that is offered, and sta
tionS broker to book the names OF the
sellers and the amount of the purchases. !"

ri Pacific are the ''pegged stocks" at
present, that is unless Jay Gould has al
ready slipped out of Western Union at
the high prices and taken up with Mu-
