WLId animals and the TeIegraph.

Some interesting facts have been
brought out in paper by M. Q.
Nielsen, of Christiana, on the impress
sion produced upon animals by the re-
sOnance Of the vibration Of telegraph
wires. It was found that the black
and green wOodpeckers, for example,
which hunt for insects In the bark and
in the heart of decaying trees, often
peck inside the circular hole made
transversely through telegraph posts,
generally near the top. The phenome-
non is attributed to the resonance pro-
duced in the post by the vibration Of
the wire, which the bird mistakes as
the result Of the operation of worms
and insects in the interior Of the post.
Every one knows the fOndness Of bears
for honey. 1t has been noticed that in
mountainous districts they seem to mis-
take the vibratory sound of the tele-
graph wires for the grateful humming
of bees, and, rushing tO.the post. look
about for the hive. Not finding it on
the post, they scatter the stones at its
base which help to support it, and, dis
appointed in their search, give the post
a parting pat with their paw, thus show
ing their determination at least to kill
any bees that might be about it In
disputable traces of bears about pros
trate posts and scattered stones prove
that this really happens With regard
to wolves, again, M. Nielsen states that
when a vote was asked at the time for
the first great telegraph lines, q men,
Der of the Storthing said that although
his district had no diIect interest In the
line proposed, he would give his vote
in its favor, because he knew the lines
would drive the wolves from the dis
triets through which they passed. It
is well known that to keep of the raw
ages of hungry wolves in winter, the
farmers of Norway set up poles con-
nected together by line or rope. under
which the wolves would not dare to
pass. tAnd it is fact" NJ Nielsen
states, chat when, twenty or more
years ago, telegraph lines we're carried
over the mountains and along the val
Ieys, the wolves totally disappeared.
and a specimen is now a rarity.
Whether the two circumstances are cas-
uaIly connected, NJ. Nielsen does not
venture to say.

Winter Health Hints.

An old observer says: "The secret
of good health in winter lies In two
things first, In breathing through the
nose, and second in keeping the feet
warm. If these two rules are carefully
observed by anyone, he or she need not
fear the rigOrs Of winter. Above all,
never go to bed with cold feet If you
are troubled with cold feet, said the
same gentleman, swarm them before
you retire, and in the morning plunge
them into cold water until they sting.
Then rub them vigorously and put on
your stockings and shoes, and your feet
VIII keep warm probably all day. See
that your stockings are thick enough
and that you wear heavy shoes and
good, serviceable Oversh0es. A great
many young ladies in Albany are wear
ing heavy shoes this winter for the
first time. They are learning wisdom
Ladies, too are beginning to wear
heavier underwear than ever before.
They have been taught this by their
experience on tOboggan slides, and it is
a good thing. The health of boys and
girls should be better In winter than in
summer, and they should grow stronger
and heavier by outdoor exercises. The
first essential is to be warmly clothed,
and above all TO keep the feet warm

DIR. II. S. Orme. president OF the
State Board of Health, In an article on
vaccination saws: During the prevail
ence of An epidemic of smallpox
almost every one under the influence
of fear or by force of the municipal
law is sooner or later subjected TO
vaccination. and upon many OF those
previously yaccinated, the operation IS
repeated. Only the unprotected are
attacked, and the epidemic dies out
Al length for want ct fuel. A period
of rest ensues, during which certain
proportion of adults who have been
vaccinated in youth acquire renewed
susceptibility, and others have been
gradually but continuously added to
the population by birth or immigra-
tion who have never had the disease
nor been vaccinated. The fertility Of
the soil il thus renewed, ready for the
reception aud propagation of the
germs whenever accidentally intro
duced.
We, in California, have passed
through one of these periods ol rest.
Numbers have been added ID the pop
ulation of both city aud country, aud
inAsmueh as where there i canse for
alarm the duty oi vaccination Is likely
IL l,c postponed, many Of these are
now unprotected. new material avail
aDe for the discase has sprung up.
White, therefore. the necessity Of
vaceinaiion with those who have never
pren subjected to this safe aud simple
expedient Is, in times of threatened
danger, specially urgent, this neees.
sity docs not apply solely to- them.
II is a cuncedcnt fact in the history of
vaccination that, in very many cases,
the immunity it affords is only limit
ed. or for a time. Perfect while it
lasts--as perfect. il is believed rs a
previous attack of smallpox itself
the duration of tho insuseeptiblity
varies with different individuals.
Though in some instances it is un-
qnes,ionaIlly permanent through life,
il is safe To saw that revaccination
should always be tried after the ex-
piratian of eight or ten years, or.
otherwise whenever during the pre-
valence of smallpox it is desirable to
be assured of protection. By the OBJ
servance of this rule, and the genera
adoption of primary vaccination in
youth, IL is equally safe to say that
one of the most loathsome diseases
which affilct mankind may be effect
uaIly robbed of its terrors.

A sad Incident of the Blizzard.

At school house in an isolated dis
trict north of Mandan, Dakota, there
were five pupils and the teacher when
the blizzard began raging. Rather
than attempt TO brave the fury of the
storm, the teacher concluded to remain
with his pupils in the school house
over night expecting the storm would
cease before morning The storm
ragged fercer than ever next day, and
the teacher and his five little compan-
ions were found three days later frozen
in the unprotected building. The
teacher then took off his outer gar
ments and wrapped them about the
children, and had broken up the desks
and torn up the floor TO provide fuel,
but the relentless storm continued
until everything combustable was
burned, and teacher and pupils died
hudded together in the vain effort to
save their lives.

The following, which we take from

probability that three new lines of
railroad will cross Nevada within the
next three years. \ fourth is almost

we regard as least probable, Is the

Angeles road. Unless this can be
hitched on to one of the half-com-
pleted transcontinental lines, thus
forming a link in through connec-
tion TO tAe Pacific Coast II will not be
