a New Hitching Device.

J. B. Perry, of Toronto. Canada,
has invented novel attachment for an.
choring carriage horses, doing away
entirely with hitcbing posts and tie
straps His device consists OF simple
strap buckled at one end TO the reins
and passing through between eccentric
rollers, and a slot in the bottom of the
carriage is attached at the other end to
a drag weight. When not in use the
drag is drawn up to hug tightly the bot
tom of the carriage, and to anchor the
horses a small lever is touched aad the
drag drops to the ground, holding the
horses direct from the bit as naturally
and safely as if held bv the driver.

Action of the Heart.

A curious calculation las been made
giving the work of the heart in mileage
Presenting that the blood was thrown
out of the heart at each pulsation in the
proportion of SO strokes per minute,
and at the assumed force of feet, the
mileage of the blood through the body
might be taken at 207 yards per minute,
miles per hour. los miles per day, 81,

to Bridges Oh the Sioux.
The cataclysm of water and floating
ice has somewhat suspended the run
ming of trains to Sioux City. Last
Sunday the gorge in the Missouri river
above Elk Point broke and submerged
the country between that city and JEFF
ferson. About nihe miles of the Mil
waukee track is under water, and it is
thought that about six miles of it has
been washed away. \ great many
families in the submerged districts
were forced to leave everything and fly
to higher portions of the country for
safety. No lives are reported lost, but
much stock has perished. At Elk
Point number Of houses are flooded,
and water is three inches deep on the
floor of the Milwaukee depot. At JEFF
ferson the depot is surrounded by water
and the operator goes to his work in a
boat. About three miles above Jack
son, Neb., the water has backed up and
covers fully thousand acres Of land,
from which the farmers have been driv-
Ell out. The bridge over the Big Sioux
on the line of the Milwaukee road, four
miles north of Sioux CITY, still stands.
but one end has moved nearly two feet
and trains cannot cross. The extent
of the damage to the tracks cannot yet
be told. but will be heavy. The Chi

bridge. The breaking of the bridge
sewers all connection with the Milwau-
kee line. Its freight is distributed by

Tuesday the ice in the Sioux went
out, and coming in contact with the
railroad bridges between here and
Sioux City weakened them to some ex
tent. The Fairview bridge has moved
about foot, while the bridge on the
Beloit cutoff, near this city, is not con-
sidered safe, consequently the passen-
ger train now comes down from Sioux
Falls and returns. 1t will be several
days before trains will be running reg
larly between Sioux Falls and Sioux
