PauperiZing Cattle.

One of the religious papers. dealing
with the sui. ect Of mission work in she
Western States and Territories. draws
an illustration from the experience of
men who know all about cattle: In
New Mexico. Colorado. and Wyoming
Territory. and all along those lines OF
longitude. millions of cattle sUbsist
through all the winter seasons on the
native grass without being led. The
cattle kings of Wyoming told me when
was labOring there that. from the Sc
verify Of some of their winters. thev lost
from three To five per cent. of their cat
tie asked why they did not keep a
supply Of hay 90 help the xezklings
through. Give them hay and thev quit
work. and their example tends to demOr-
lie the herd-cheapert TO let them die"
A friend OF mine in Nevada, who had a
stuck ranch. told me once. in the Sc
verify of \ hard wintez, he bought a
stack of hay 10 tide his weakly cattle
through n cold snap. His supply Of hay
was not n all adequate TO the length Of
the winter season. but would susiaia
life TIL the snow should pass away and
allow the cattle Access % the grass; hut.
20 his great disappointment. sll the cat
tie admitted 10 the hay-stack lav down
BY Il as soon rs they filed themselves
lhen when hunger returned they would
walk 20 the wHier-trolgh and drink. and
return TO the hay-stack and eat. Thus
they spent their days till the hay was
all devOured. and there. one by one.
they lay down and died.
The next winter was also very severe.
and my friend saw that he was likely
again CLOSE n large number of cattle,
tut haring learned lesson Of wisdom
on the distribution Of charity. he de-
termined to adopt a different method;
so he procured supply Of hav, but
kept it entirely out of sight Of the herd. |
AMI during the very severe weather. he /
had each cowboy sling two bundles |
of hay across his shoulder, and have |
them hang down fore and aft OF his |
body, 30 as 70 attract the attention OF /
the cattle. aud pass quietly among
them rs they were scattered widely !
over the plains. and when they found /
one in starving condition. Just TO Law
down Ettle hay and pass on In that
way he did not pauperize. but he did 4
vitalizc and keep his needy cattle 10
work on the line Of self-support- he
did not lose one that winter.

The ZOdiaeal Light.

The cause of the luminous phenome-
non known as the zOdiacal light has
long been the subject of speculation.
and numerous hypothesis have been
suggested 10 account for H. A CORES
pondent of Cosmos les No'ldes regards
toe entire phenomenon as one of the
reflection of light What we observe
Is nothing but the reflection Of that part
Of the earth which is illuminated shortly
before the sun rises and after il sets. In
order 10 understand this We must As
sumo that the earth Is surrounded for
n certain distance by = comparatively
dense envelope of gas. beyond which
the latter exists in state of great atien-
uatiOn- We therefore have two media
of different density which influence the
rays Of light in the well known wav.

very Obtuse angle, will be totally IT,
hected. and it IS these totally reflected
rays which we see
This explains the appearance of the
light in the shape Of Il cone whose line
is always inclined in the direction Of
the ecliptic. and whose base is toward
the sun: il also accounts for the fact that
the changes observed in its appearance
follow reverse order in the evening
from that in the morning. The reason
Why the cone Is longer in the evening
than in the morning Is that the layer Of
