TArToOxNG CREMINALs.

"Crooked" men who are minus either
eye generally bear the nameof "Blinky,"
while those who have spotted or freckled
aces are sure to be- called "Speckled
Ed" or "Speckled Paddy" whatever
their given name may be. 1t is curl
GUS fact that SO many criminals are
marked with India ink devices, scores of
them having their names in full or their
initials tattooed on their arms, hands or
breasts. A person would suppose a
criminal to be the last person to put
marks on his body which cannot be
erased without leaving scar, and which
would always aid in theih Identification,
and yet one in every three has marks of
this character that cannot be concealed.
These designs are of every form and de-
vice from fuiLrigged ship to small
anchor. Billy Forester, the noted
burglar and so-called Nathan murderer,
of New York, has his body completely
covered with well-execmted designs in
colored inks. The detectives did not
know this in 1871, when large reward
was offered for him. At least fifty men
were arrested at various points, answer
ing to the published description of For
roster, and every officer was sure he had
the right man. Most professional thieves
are graduates of the reform schools and
brdewells, houses of correction and de-
tention, where as "kids they delight
in the pastime of tattooing all sorts Of
ink marks and designs upon one an
other. In the absence Of ink they fire.
quently use ooal-dust, which they prick
into the skin with needle. In this
simple way they provide themselves
with marks that "down" them In after
years, to their chagrin and disgust.

STEAM PLoWTNG.

The steam pillow, which has long been
in use by English farmers, is now
being introduced into Dakota. A de-
scription of one may not be uninterest-
ing. Two enormous traction engines
are placed about 800 to 500 yards apart.
Beneath each engine, and bolted to the
boiler, is steel drum about five feet in
diameter. To these drums is attached
steel cable about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter, 500 yards long, and cap
able of sustaining a weight of thirty tons,
which drags the pillow to and fro across
the field. The pillow is framework of
iron resting upon two large wheels; on
each side of this frame are firmly fixed
six plows with Golfers that cut six fur
rows sixteen inches wide each time the
machine crosses the field. On the
arrival of the pillow at the end of the
furrow the gauge changes position, and
the plows that have been in the air are
lowered and ready to start back. One
man is sufficient to guide the pillow,
and, seated over the body of the ma
chine, directs one of the two large
wheels in the furrow last turned by
means of a hand-wheel. Each engine
is about forty-horse power, and weighs
about sixteen tons. When the pillow
reaches one side of the field, the engine
on that side moves ahead eight feet, the
operation taking three and one-half
minutes only, and the pillow is started
back to the other side of the field. The
pillow will break from twenty-five to
thirty-fve acres per day, according to
the soil, location and lay of the land,
etc. Tt is also used for narrowing.
