City Of Mexico.

Newcomers in the city of Mexico are
surprised on finding so many of the con
venieuccs common to large cities at
home, such as the telephone, the cleo
trio light, a police force, and an excel
lent street car service. The electric
lights are ON the tops of iron rods run
ming up from the gas lamp posts. The
police are far more soldierIy than the
regular army of the country. They
wear blue flannel suit, the coat but
toned up, and their cap has covering
of white, which, with the standing linen
collar, Is always immaculate. In their
belts on one side they carry a club and
on the other large revolver. If one
wishes to see policeman he has only
to go to the nearest corner, and he will
surely find him standing there, for lie
has no beat to walk over. The speed ut
which street cars 90 is astonishing
They dash along as fast rs mules can
pull them, and as they approach cor
ucr the driver gives a loud foot on a horn
for the purpose of warning people at
the crossing to get out of the way.

A few days since the Reese River
(CaI.) ReUejUG spoke of the early days
of Big Creek, and of its failure as a min
ing camp. Lodges were there, but they
were so base that no known process
could make them prOfitab BILE, and so Big
Greek became deserted as a mining cen
tire. But the greatest failure, or rather
mystery known in the annals of mining
is the loss of the Whitlacht Union
ledge. The mine is over i'll Marshall
CANYON, not over a mile and n half
from town. In early days it was disov-
cred and opened out. just imagine a
ledge between seven and eight feet thick
of 5000 ore Yet fabulous as this seems,
the Whitlacht Union had just such
ledge. It was like mining twenty-dol-
lar pieces. A fine hosting works was
erected, many men We're employed, the
mine opened out systematically, and the
owners were preparing to sit back and
enjoy themselves in elegant ease, for
nothing like 1t had ever been heard of
before. Everything went along swim
mingly for little while, until the min
ers came to break i'll the ledge. 1t
was as good as ever up to the break, but
it suddenly stopped, and the break was
as cleall ana complete us IL Ii niu Decn
cut out with knife. Beyond and all
around was nothing but barren rock. OF
course, we can find 1t again, thought the
owners, 1t has only slipped off during
some earthquake or other commotion of
nature, and a lew days prospecting will
bring 1t to hight. run OF tins idea they

October Farm Notes.

Large weeds in meadows andpastures
are now readily seen and can be quickly
removed with chiscl blade attached to
a long handle. Grass lands to furnish
bav next wear should not be closely fed
by stock during the late autumn, but
instead be tOp-dressed with fine, well
rotted manure. Grass seed may be
sown on spots where the stand is poor,
and if narrowed over and some good Ter
tilizer added, a good growth may be eX-
pected.
1t is not too late to SOW wheat and
rye: if the soil is in good condition both
NAV do as well as early sown grain, and
are more likely to escape the raVageS OF
the Hessian Fly. A top dressing OF
manure will assist in giving the plants a
good growth before the ground freezes.
Potatoes should be dug us soon as they
are ripe, and kept for time III heaps IN
the field to dry out. Sunlight INJURIES
potatoes, and they should, therefore, be
stored in dark, frOst-proof place. All
dccayed potatoes should be assorted out,
and burned with the vines, when clear
ing up the field. Mngels and beets are
injured by frost, and should be harvested
in safety. These roots may be kept IN
| heaps near the stable, and removed by
| the load as required. 1t is important to
ventiIate the pits well to prevent heating.
Turnips will stand frosts, and continue
to grow until the season closes.
Make the necessary water-courses in
fields to relieve them Of the excess OF
| surface water during heavy storms. The
| burrows, wide and shallow, should run
diagonaIIy across slopes, with little fall.
All kinds of litter, except weeds with
ripeDed seeds, should go into the barn
yard There should be a general clean
ing up in and around the garden and
stables, to give neat appearance at the
end of the season. Now it is good
time to make the necessary repairs and
improvements for wintering the farm
animals before bringing them perma-
ucntIy into the yards and stables

apparent. Round and round in broad
sweeping circle over the grove they flew
for several minutes, until all had joined
in the common direction. Then they
began to draw closer and closer together
in a constantly narrowing circle, and the
centre of the mass was observed grad
ualIy to sink in funnel shape toward
the tree tops. Suddenly with almost
the rapidity of thought, the whole host
vanished, circling in the tree tops with
whirring of wings distinctly heard, and
soon the air was almost still, broken only
by the greeting chirps of the now late
corners, who were still struggling III IN
small groups and singly. These last
arrivals did not pause to circle about III
the air, but flew in toward the grove as
straight rs an arrow and vanished among
their settled brothers with lightning
rapidity. AS we now drew still nearer
the edge of the grove the rustllng and
chipping of the birds among the leaves
and branches as they settled themselves
in comfort for the night could be dis
timely heard.
To say that the cubic space occupied
by the birds in this nightly flying to and
fro, after all have gathered, does not
exceed 500 feet dimensions each way,
and that, compressed into this space in
their close flight, the birds would not
exceed twenty-five in each 1000 cubic
feet of space (ten feet each way is to
make estimates which all who have seen
the birds will most certainly call with
in bounds; and yet these estimates
would give total of at least 3, 125, 600
birds

Appearance of q Tornado.

AS the tornado now sweeps onward IN
its course it rises and falls with a series
of bounds, and, with a swaying motion,
describes a zigzag course, now forming
chain of loops, and again shooting off
on an obtuse angle, varying in the speed
of its forward motion, which may be
anywhere from ten to thirty miles an
hour. At the same time it is rapidly
whirling on its axis III the opposite di-
rectiOn from a screw, or the hands of a
clock, the air revolving around the vOr
tex, necessarily attaining a speed of
several hundred miles an hour. First
widening, then contracting, now bound
ing above the tree-tOps, and again de-
scending to sweep the earth bare of
every object within its reach, the aerial
monster surges onward. The largest
forest trees, mere playthings i'll its
grasp, are plucked up by the roots, or
snapped off like pipe stems; substantial
buildings are first crushed like egg
shells. then caught up in the vortex and
the debris carried sometimes for miles
before it is again thrown off by centri-
fugal force and falls by gravitation any
where, everywhere, as soon as released
from the monsters grasp.

the tornados appearance and work, even
for those who have been eye witnesses.
or who have personally passed through
the horrors its coming brings. While
accounts differ as to its appearance and
behavior, as witnessed from different
points of observation and under differ
ent circumstances, all substantially
agree that it is cone-shaped, its motion
rotary, that its apex resembles fire and
smoke, and that vivid lightning and
heavy rainfall usually accompany it. In
rare instances, electricity, in the form Of
st. Elmo's fire, will precede the vortex,
and a white, steamy cloud will follow.
1t will be observed that the form of the
tOrnado-cloud is nicely illustrated by the
"prOof- plane" used III teaching natural
philosophy. The small end of the plane
is most heavily charged with electricity,
and, the nearer it approaches to per-
feet point, the greater will be the ac-
emulation; a high tension is caused,
and the electricity must escape by some
conductor SO, i'll the tornadO-cloud,
the smaller the point or stem, the
greater the force exerted when it meets
the earth.

MILLIONS OF SWALLOWS.
A Strange sight Seen in IA small Suburban
Town.

In the little town of Westerly, r.. l.,
there has been annually occurring for
several years past a peculiar phenome-
non Of great interest. The phenomenon
consists i'll the fact that millions of swal-
lows and other birds are accustomed
during each summer season to congre-
gate every night in II certain grove i'll
the town of Westerly, making the trees
their roosting place, and their move
ments rs they come and go about this
resort afford basis for much comment
and speculation. When we first reached
the scene we noticed several swallows
lifting here and there in the air. but
about seven o'clock their number seemed
legion. One could think of nothing but
a snow storm with large black flakes.
From the plainest outlines of the lowest
flying birds to the mCreSt black specks
Of the most aspiring wanderers, the pic
turc was that Ofconstantly moving, inter
mingling millions of little winged crca-
lures
1t was sight never to be forgotten.
At times no two birds seemed to be Hy-
ing iii the same direction, though. as a
whole, the vast company would sway
lI"lll Siio 10 HNte above the grove.
Again, Il group of hundreds would take
a common direction, circling around the
inner circumference of the general COM
pany, now descending toward the tree
tops with symmetrical swoop, then
rising in the air till almost lost to view.
Then they would return to the common
crowd and resume their separate courses
as before. The individual flyers would
tilt and joust with each other, or play at
cross-tag in the air. 1t was constantly
moving kaleidoscope. All the while
new corners were still streaming in from
all quarters, and at 7I5 O'Clock the
multitude had become dense. About
this time there was Il sudden cessation of
the various flights, and a general circu-
lar motion of the whole company was

One way to cook egg plant is here
given, and cannot fail to please the cpl
cure: Cut it III slices abont an inch thick,
take off the purple rind, let the slices lie
in salt and water for two hours, then
steam them until they are 50 tender that
you can pierce them easily with a fork,
then take them from the steamer and
dip them in very fine bread crumbs, or
cracker crumbs, salted and peppcred.
These crumbs must he rolled very fine.
and it is an improvement to shake them
through coarse sieve. Fry the slices
of egg plant i'll hot lard. If the seeds
are large, after the slices are steamed
you can take a fork and poke the seeds
out.
Pop corn, with all its associations of
good time and innocent enjoyment, is
once more in season, and the children
OF young people who like to experiment
with it can try the following recipe for
crystaIlizing it: Put into IN iron kettle
one tablespoonful of butter, three table
spOonfuls of water, and one cup of white
sugar; boil until ready to candy, then
throw in three quarts nicely-pOppCd
corn; stir vigorously until the sugar Is
evenly distributed over the corn; take
the kettle from the fire and stir until if
cool3 little, and IN this way you may
have each kernel separate and all coated
with the sugar
