Nurtured by Wolves.

The ZoologiSt for March reprints an
extraordinary pamphlet entitled AN
Account Of Wolves Nurturing Children
In Their Dens.'' This pamphlet was
printed in Plymouth in 1852 and has
long been out of print. On wrapper
of copy in the Geological Library Of
the natural History Museum at South
Kensington there is the following men,
orandum in the handwriting of the
late by Colonel Hamilton Smith "Th;s
account, / am informed by friends. is
written Colonel Sleeman. of the Indian
army, the well-known officer who had
charge Of the Thugg inquiries and wh5
resided long in the forests of India. {"
The writer records q number of cases of
children who are said to have been nur-
tured by wolves in India. In one in
stance large female wolf was seen to
leave her den, followed by three whelps
and little boy. This happened near
Chandour. ten mile from Sultanpoor, in
the year IS47. The boy went on all
fours and ran as fast as the whelps
could He was caught with difficulty
and had TO be tied, as lie was very reso-
lutte and struggled hard to rush into holes
and dens. When q grown-up person
came near him he became alarmed and
tried to steal away, but when a child
came near him be rushed at it with a
fierce snarl. Ike that of dog, and tried
to bite 1t. When cooked meat was
placed near him he rejected it with dis
gust, but when raw meat was offered
he seized it with avidity, put it on the
ground under his hands like dog and
ate it with evident pleasure. He would
not let any one come near him while he
was eating, bat he made no objection
to dog coming and sharing his food
with him.
The trooper who captured the boy
LETT him in charge OF the Rajah of Hash
poor, who sent him to Captain Michel
lets, commanding the first Regiment of
the Dude Local Infantry at Sultanpoor,
and some interesting notes as to the
boys habits are given on this officers
authority. He died in August, 1860,
and after his death it was remembered
that he had never been known to laugh
or smile. He used signs when he want
ed anything and very few of them, ex-
cept when hungry. When his food was
placed at some distance from him he
would run to it on all fours like any
four-footed animal, but at other times
he would walk uprightly. He Stunned
human beings and seemed to care for
nothing but eating. If the pamphlet
can be proved TO ta perfectly trust
worthy 1t certainly deserves TO be care
fully studied by anthropologists.

Drink Some MIX Hot.

Milk heated to about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit loses for a time a degree OF
its sweetness and density. No one who,
fatigued by over-exertion OF body and
mind, has ever experienced the reviving
influence OF a tumbler of this beverage
heated as hot as can be slipped will will
ingly forego a resort to IL because of its
being rendered somsweat less accepta-
ole TO the palate. The prom2tness with
which Its cordial influence is felt is in
deed surprising. Some portion OF it
ssems TO be appropriated and digested
almost immediately and many who now
fancy that they need alcoholic stimulents
when exhausted by fatigue will find in
this simple drsught an equivalent that
will be abundantly satisfying and faI
more enduring IN its effects.

For securing steel knives, rub two
common hard bricks together, put the
dust thus obtained in q box In q hand,

Coal ashes mixed with salt and water

A simple dessert is made by lining
the sides OF mould with sponge cake

Fill the mould with stiff whipped
cream. Set it on ice until eaten.
To kill rats, fill a common ash-boiler

over the surface few handfuls of oats.
These will float on the surface, ard look

pinching OF the ends of the tops and
branches more lsterals will be thrown
out, and the limbs become stronger and
better able to support the fruit.
In cold weather, food that supplies
carbon should be taken, but less in hot
weather. During April and May, and
also in July and Auguss, but little
animal food should be eaten. A mixed
diet is best. neither drawing nourish-
ment entirely from the animal nor the
vegetable kingdom.

To Prevent Forging.

There is no driver OF q horse but that
has felt the annoyance that results from
forging or striking the forward shoes
by the hind ones, and yet this can be
prevented. The occasion OF the fore-
ing is the hind feet are thrown forward
and strike the front feet before they
can get out of the way, a result of the
action OF the horse. which can be cor
rected by using a heavy toe weight shoe
on the front feet tu make the horse
reach further. After the front shoe
has been nailed on, take q rule and
measure the distance from the coronet
to the bottom part o; the toe, observing
the slsnt of the foot. Measuring the
hind foot the same way 1t will be found
To be about an inch shorter, and il can
ne raised quicker by placing the shoe on
the hind foot so that the distance from
the coronet TO the bottom of the toe is
the same as the front foot. and then let
the shoe project we'll behind, making it
little heavy. then the foot will not be
raised so high and thrown so far for
ward, and so forging will be prevented.
This Is very simple procedure, and
one that can be ordered by any farmer
who is troubled by forging in his horses,
anu save al unnecessary annoyance.

The New Cast iron GUNS.

At the ordinance foundry OF the
South Boston Iron Works a large force
of workmen is at present engaged in
completing the third and last in the ser
les of the three II in. cast iron rifed
guns with steel tube and steel hoops.
The work of putting in the steel tube,
which is inserted at the rear of the bar
rel, extending through from the breech,
has Just been completed. after three
trials. to insure getting a perfectly tight
joint at the shoulder or casing OF the
gun. The gun was placed horizontally
over longitudinal pit, and was then
covered in with boiler snnd sheet iron.
y dIe was built under it, extending
from the breech of the gun to point in
front of the trunnions. The body OF
the gun was expanded by the heat, and
the steel tube was inserted from the
rear. a stream Of cold water was kept
circulating through the bore Of the
tube, TO keep 1t cool, during the whole
operation, which lasted about twenty
one hours. The gun was then cooled
down at the breech to make it grip TIE
tube, so that in contracting the front
emo of the tube was brought to tight
joint against the forward shoulders in
the casing or body OF the gun. An in
genious arrangement OF bolts and
screws. together with 100 ton jack,
was used in inserting the tube and hold
ing it in place until the cooing was COM
pleted. The gun will be transferred to
the lathe in few days to be finished,
bored and rided, aad will be delivered
to the government early in the fall.

MAGNETISM IN WELLs.-I read in a
paper, a short time ago, an account OF
a magnetic well, which the writer evil
deIt!y thought was something wonder
full. In reality it is very common oc-
currence to find magnetism in drilling
wells. have been engaged In the bus
iEess for eight years, and 1t Is seldom
that l penetrate the earth to any great
depth without coming in contact with
magnetic influences On Withdrawing
the auger when it is highly magnetized,
spikes or other iron substances adhere
to IL with great tenac:ty. These veins
or streaks Of magnetism occur at vari-
Gus depths, and sometimes but a few
feet Of the stratum is impregnsted
with It, and on going below its influence
is not not noticed on the auger. We
sometimes encounter magnetism two or
three times in .he same well.

Practical Turnip-Feeding.

Mr.. F. d. Curtis. to practice what he
breaches, uses turnips in feeding his hogs,
and gives his experience. He says that
the best pork ever made on the farm
was made by feeding sixteen old hogs,
twice q day. I've bushels of turnips and
bushei of rye, ground entire. Three
weeks before killing-time the rye was
increased to three pecks at each meal.
The turnips were cooked in q potafh
bushels, when boiled until soft they
were shoveled into a barrel, and the
kettle filed again they were cooked
with about half the IRE required for the
first lot. The troughs were filed with
the turnips, the meal spread on, and the
mass worked together with q hoe. The
hogs were then allowed to pitch in.
After filing themselves with this sue
culent and healthful food, they would
go out into the iield and lie down and
sleep until it was digested, and then
60 and eat the rowen. or pick up the
green leaves from the roots, and also
the little turDips left in O portion OF the
fed. They were fed only two meals .
day, and this gave them time and an
appetite 10 eat grass, leaves and raw
roots, which in their turn helped TO
make growth and a healthy condition.
These hogs were fattened with seventy
five per cent. of lean meat in them. and
the flavor IVES as near perfect as possi-
be.
The store hogs were left In the pas
ture until winter came, and hsd very
little meal. plenty Of swede leaves, car
rot tops, some apples, and all the grass
they wanted
/ have never wintered hogs cheaper
than the past year. Two-thirds OF their
entire food up 10 within a few days, has
been nothing but turnips, and the most
OF these common fiat turnips. called the
red-top. The Irnips have been fed raw
morning aud noon, with supper OF thin
slop, made OF bran and rye meal and
water, mixed up fresh.
To cap the whole experiment one OF
his young sows on very cold night,
fsrrowed q litter of eleven fine pigs.
all OF which did well. He says, IL tur-
nips are 90 or % per cent. water, they
produce wonderfully smart litters of
pigs. The average .quesking, weak
and helpless litter OF pigs would all

The Great Mines or Japan.

r. Kondo, a trustee OF the Mining
University OF Japan, who came to this
city with the japanese Minister 10 the
United States. left for Mexico Friday
for the purpose OF examining the mines
in that country. He will return 10
San Francisco about the 2S.h.
Mr.. Kondo astonished State Mineral
ogists Irelan and Superintendent Hall
recently while down in a mine at Grass
Valley. Mr.. Koudo asked how many
men were employed there.
1--WE employ about $50 men the year
round, was the reply Of Mr.. Hall.
Then Mr.. Hall asked how many men
Mr.. Rondo employed in his copper
mine.
"Well," " replied the Japanese Cr9sus
"there are about 10000 men employed
rs laborers and 5000 in the smelling
works in various capacities
The superintendent turned pale and
MineIalOgist Irelan lapsed into silence.
Mr.. Kondo stated further that the
StftNA- hAC
The common workman received 80 cents
a day, but the foremen and supeIin-
tendents received salaries higher than
is paid for similar work here. The
heads Of the various departments are
generally Europeans, and they received
from $50 a month to 6,O00 a year.
Mr.. Kondo is reputed to be the
wealthiest man in Japan outside OF the
Royal family. He operates sixteen diff
ferent mines OF gold. silver, and copper.
His principle desire is to obtain q
thorough knowledge OF the mining ma.
chinery used, and for this purpose he
will visit Arizona, Nevada, and Colora-
do in turn. After a visit to Washing
ton and the great copper mines in Mich
igan he will return home by the way
of England, Germany, and France.

to flow out in fine, steady stream.
Then off he started, and before he bad
skated long, there appeared in his rapid
track the name of the Crown Princess,
beautifully aud plainly written upon the

Filling Out Orchards.

In almost every orchard are vacant
places caused by the death of the trees
first set. If this happens the first year
or two, the vacant places may be filed,
and with little extra care the latter
set tree will be able to hold its own.
and come into bearing about as soon as
its fellows. But among Colder trees a
vacant place cannot be so easily filed.
There seems to be room enough. .but
there is not. The tops may not inmin-
gle by many yard, but close examin-
alton OF the soil shows that the roots Of
surrounding trees have interlaced
throughout the vacancy. Generally, if
young tree is get among lot of older
ones, the farmer does his best to befriend
1t. He digs deep wide hole, partly
nils 1t with manure, covers with dirt,
and sets his tree over it. Quite often
tie tree thus injRdiciously coddled dies
the first year. II it lives, 1t has a sick
ly, precarious existence. All around it
are robber trees, whose roots start for
this rich foraging as soon as it was
placed there. They establish them
selves firmly under the little tree. Per-
haps the latter, after desperate strug-
gle of few years, yields little fruit.
1t is natures effort to offset attempted
destruction by an unnatural stimulation
or the means OF reproduction. Much
the better course, IL a vacancy occur in
the orchard, is to fill the vacant place
with manure. and omit the tree plant
ing. Almost all orchards are tco
crowded, and an occasional vacancy is
really an advantage.

It will perhaps interest some readers
to know how much fuel = locomotive
burn. This Of course depends upon the
quality of fuel, work done, speed. and
character OF the road. On freight
trains an average consumption may be
taken at about 1 to 1 pounds of coal
consumed per car per mile. With pas
sepger trains, the cars which are heAv-
Ter and the speed higher, the coal con-
sumption is greater. A frsight train of
30 ears, at a speed OF 30 miller per hour,
would therefore burn from 800 TO !, $50
pounds Of coal per hour.
