A NEW SCHEME,
Vessels 40 be Hunt With n Speed of
one lAudred and twenty Miles
an Hour for Aerial Navi-
CATION.

PIrrsBURG, PA, February lS.-Dr.
Arthur lie Bassett, president of the
Trans Continental Aerial Navigation
company tins of city, is placing a
contract for the steel vessels to he used
in navigating the air which he proposes
to build. Each OF these ships will be
654 feet long and li4 feet i'll diameter.
They will be cone shaped and made OF
steel, or, in other words, steel balloon.
The vessels will cost $3.50, 900 each, and
il is the intention TO build several of
them. DIR. DE Bassett Is the inventor
of the Aeri2plane,' as he call it. He
says it is no longer an experiment, but
II fact. and during the present year he
will start on a voyage of discovery to
the north pole and the Arctic region.
The inventor stated further that he
could easily developa speed of l2O miles
per hour. If the first voyage il sue
cessful he will ask congress to pass a
bill adopting ships for use along the
coasts for defense and lie saving pur-
poses.

IHi''i 'i't ht
Dean postutliae, Hand county, Dako.
Ia. Jan. 29.-l would like 10 call TO
yonr attention the popularity attend
ing the freezing and finding of the BODY
0l Charles Krugler, who was found
frozen to death here. When found he
was standing erect, having just taken
II stop forward. Ills right hand was
up over his right ear, shielding the ear
from the furious blast that was blow
ing. His cattle were just in front of
him, in the yoke, frozen stiff, having
evidently died NJ the same moment thai
krngler had. Now, Mr.. Editor, is it
not strange that Il human heiug and
two oxen should rrGiSh at the same
identical E:0Imeni. as their positions in
dicitCd! Ii suffOCaiiOn was the cause
ui death would not the cattle have lived
longer than the man, and gone forward
from Itin, struggled aud died after the
man had died? Does this not seem
plausible? But no, there they stood
like monuments in any estimation,
and the only plausible theory that
can see, Is that they were struck stiti.
nll at the Identical moment, by the pas
sage of terrible current OF electricity
10 substautlatc my theory, the teacher
aud scholars Al one uf the schools re-
port the cracking and swapping OF the
stove, aud sparks could frequently
be seen jumping from the stove. II
electricity was the cause of Krugler's
death, is it not possible that many OF
the others suffered death in the same
way, aud attcrward their bodies irozcY
IL may not have given others the dose
that it did kruglcr. but only enough to
render them inson>ibIe, and death
finally became master Has any other
pcr,Hn any other idea to advance in
regard to tho peculiar circumstance?
Where are all of the electricians2
Yours, very truly, ART. G.. EMERY,
Telegraph Operator.

Talking Of ~OlInIZItium,

An earnest listener uuestiOncd,

Yet we scarcely liked tins reason
For clnnRing Guidp's hN mn.

We read this thoughtful answer,
In deep emotion stirred:
This seemed no trivial reason
For changing UT To DO;
We owned its perfect fitness,
We could none sweeter know.
For music III the fullnrIs
That genius doth inspire,
Must nped~ ascend To heaven
To rightly touch its Tyre;
True poets seeking subjects
For thoughts exceeding broad,
Must find them smoothly flowing
Forth from the .hTOn8 of God,

May breathe through lesser themes -

Sparkles in many a gem,

How One Sense Sharpens Another.

Some interesting experiments on the re-
ciprocal influence OF organs of sense have
been recently made by Herr Urbanschitsch, Of
Vienna. His general conclusion is that any
sense cXcltation has for result an increase of
the acuteness Of other senses. Thus, sensa.
tions of hearing sharpen the visual percep-
tons If colored plates are placed at such a
distance that one can hardly distinguish the
cOlors, and various sounds are then produced,
the colors become generally more distinct the
higher the sounds. Similarly, one can, while
a sound affects the ear, read word0 which one
could not read before. Again the ticking Of
watch Is better heard when the ewes are
open than when they are closed. Red and
green increase auditive perceptions; but blue
and yellow weaken them. Several musicians,
however, were agreed that red, green. yellow
and blue caused an intensfcation of sound
about One-eighth, while violet had weaken
ing effect Taste, smell and touch are under
like laws. Light aud red and green color ia.
crease their decacy, while darkness blue
aud yellow diminish II. Under the influence
Of red and green, taste extends from the
anterior border of the tongue to the whole
surface. On the other hand, u strengthening
If smell, taste or touch cXalts the other sens
tive perceptions. Specially interesting is the
reciprocal influence of touch and the sense of
temperature If one tickle the skin with u
nair and plunge the hand in hot water, tine
tickling sensation ceases; on the contrary, If
the hand be placed in cold water aud a part
Of the body tickled, the temperature is felt
more wildly. Herr Urbanschitsch finds IN
this reciprocal action an explanation OF sup.
posed double consecutive sensations on eY-
citation OF one sense-AdtHre.

NJ. Pasteur and the Rabbits.

The offer OF a prize of 925, 900 By the goy-
eminent OF New South Wales TO the dlscoy-
erer of means of killing the rabbits which
are devastating the COLONY has attracted the
attention of NJ. Pasteur. lie sends letter
on the subject to the Temps, suggesting ideas
which he thinks may be found of use. Hith.
erto mineral poison has been employed to de-
stroy the animals, but they increase with
such frghtful rapldlty that poison has proved
a very insufficient means OF meeting the
plague. What is wanted, VI. Pasteur suggests,
is poison endowed, like the animals them
selves, with life, and multiplying with similar
rapidity. An attempt should, lie thinks, he
made to introduce n disease among the rab-
bits which would become epidemic. There is
such a malady, known as the hen cholera
which has been carefully studied in his labor
atOrv, This disease is common To poultry and
rabbits. Among the experiments which he
made was the following: He shut up within "a
limited space number of hens. He gave
them food tainted with the micrObc which Is
the cause of the cholera, and in short time
all of them persisted. Sometimes poultry
yards are devastated by epidemics Of this
kind, which spread doubtless through the
tanting of food by the droppngs of the first
sick fowls. The same thing he believes would
happen to rabbits which, returning TO their
burrows would spread the disease. Nothing
would be more easy than to communicate the
disease to Il few of the animals. Round a
burrow NJ. Pasteur would place a movable
fence. within which the rabbits would circu-
late in search of food. Experiments have
