ExtermInatinr Rabbit. In Au,t,aI,a.

M. Pasteur's plan of exterminating the
rabbits by inoculation with transmittable
virus has not proved success in Australia.
A simple and easy method, however, has
been proposed by Mr.. Rodier, of Tambua,
Cobar, New South Wales, which is said,
after eight months trial, to have cleared
the districts where it has been put into prac-
tice. The rabbits are captured in nets or
otherwise, but, while all the females taken
are destroyed, the males are turned out
again. The consequence of the predom-
nance of males which naturally follows is
that the females, owing to excessive perse-
cution, are not only prevented from breed
ing, but often "worried to death"

HuskInx Corn br MachIner1.

An Austin inventor has devised q steel
corn husker, which, drawn by team, picks
and husks the corn at the rate of 8 to IL
acres day, according to the capacity of the
team. The team and machine move astride
the row, one horse on each side, and every
ear oi corn, large or small, is picked up.
Corn husking can now be done just as
threshing is, lasting but few days.

Peach Stones as Fuel.

The fruit growers of California, finding
that peach stones make an excellent fuel,
are now selling them at the rate of $6 a
ton. A sack of stones will weigh about 80
pounds, and is said to last as long as an
equal number of pounds of coal and give an
even greater heat. This will form a very
welcome supplement- to the income of the
fruit raisers.

Telephones for infectious wards,

1t is stated on the authority otthe Medical
Press, that it is proposed to apply tele-
phones to the infectious wards of the French
hospitals, so as to enable the sick people to
have the comfort OF hearing their relatives
voices without any risk of conveying in
fection by an interview. This is indeed en-
listing science in the cause of humanity.

An Epidemic of Scarlet Fever.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE DIsrArcH.1
CADIz, May 4.-Scarlet fever in its worst
form is raging in this place, and all schools
have been ordered to close until it has

new cases are reported daily.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-05-05

Mr.. Lorin Blodget, of Philadelphia, in a
treatise on the possibility of obtaining heat
from air without the use of much carbon
aceous fuel, says that in all cases where a
powerful blast is applied to the limited area
of melting furnace, and particularly in
the Bessemer converter, the degree of heat
is greatly in excess of the theoretical yield
of the number of pounds of coal consumed.
From this and other data, and especially
from the fact that not less than 10000 of
neat can be attained with mere initiative
of carbonaceous combustion, and main
tanned indefinitely by merely preserving
the encandescence of the surface, he argues
that we are on the verge of new revelations
in the matter of heat production, and that
the line of reasonable progress lies in the
direction of relief from dependence on the
combustion of carbon, organic or inorganic,
as the source of heat for economic purposes.

trusts again supplied what little life there was
In the market, especially during the forenoon,
when there came more feature into the rail-
road stocks from the strength in the Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and st. Louis and Lack
awanna.
The only weak point was Richmond and
West Point, in which the trading was decidedly
OF the hand-to-mouth order. Sugar was the
great feature at the opening which was made
az an advance of 2 per cent over last nights
closing price, the effect of the refusal to grant
ment of dividends recently applied for by the
receiver of the North River Refinery. The
tendency to further advance, however, was
checked by the renewed weakness in cotton
