Tho Rotary Snow Pillow Is a
Complete Success.

| ComQt0te SuCCeSS.
The Truckee Republican contains
the following: To see exactly what
the rotary snow shovel was capable
Of doing has been the desire of the
railroad officials for some time past.
The work of the new plew at Cas-
cade, on the main line, while
very successful, was not considered
fair test of capabilities, as there
the snow was not allowded to ac-
cumulate over two feet at any time.
1t was desired to see what it could
do in a really deep snow.
Last Monday a severe test was
given in the presence of the follow
ing officials: Colonel Fred Croker,
Director Alexander, Superintendent
Fillmore, Division Superintendent
Wright and assistant Burckaalter.
The party came up, the Summit and
then came down on the pillow to
Lakeview siding, few miles east
of the Summit. Here the side
track for a quarter Of mile is out
side of the sheds and all the snow
of the season had piled up. On
the upper side of the track the
snow was sixteen feet four inches
deep and on the lower side it was
ten feet four inches.
The pillow sailed into this mass,
which was packed quite hard, and
in forty minutes it was cleared in
fine style. The rotating fans cut
into to the snow at a great rate
and forced it out of q pipe in a
solid stream, throwing it down the
hill to q distance of about two hum
dred feet. 1t was pronounced a
great success, and it is probable
that number of the shovels will
be ordered at once. In fact, one is
now nearly completed, which will
be little larger and heavier than
the one now in use, and will have |
several improvements. AS soon as
this arrives it bewill stationed at Cas-
cade and the one now in use will be |
sent nut on the Salt Lake division.
BY next winter there will be half |
/ dozen of the machines stationed |
1t various places in the mountains.
This means that no new snowsheds
will be built, but that as fast as the
present structures decay they will
De torn down. When the nearly
orty miles between Truckee and

In a recent article IN the Youths

during the severe cold weather of

almost certain to be contracted.

Hunting with Tame Leopards in India.

The following account OF hunting with
tame leopards, of the species called the
cheetah, at Dhar, in Central India, Is con-
tributed to the Illustrated London NeleS :
we were staying with the Maharajah of
Dhar and one day he said we should see
a cheetah- hunt; so we started on horse
back about o'clock in the afternoon.
The cheetahs looked lovely and seemed
quite tame, following the shikaris like
dogs. We went about five miles over
very bad ground, and it was exceedingly
hot. At last. to our delight, we saw a
herd of deer about mile Oft, and we at
once stopped, while the shlkarl went for
ward with two cheetahs. Presently one
of the cheetahs stood still, peered about
and lay down slowly whisking his tail
from side to side The men said he has
seen the deer Soon he got up again
and went after his companion, and seemed
to communicate to him that deer were IN
sight Then they both lay down at once.
After a little time they got up and began
stalking the deer through the grass. 1t
was very difficult to distinguish the chez
tabs, as they were much the same color
as the ground. Presently the deer be-
came aware something was up and stopped
and looked about; then suddenly they
all got together and began trotting off,
followed at once by the cheetahs, who,
although far behind, gained ground at
every stride, and we could see they had
each singled out black buck, taking no
notice Of the rest Of the herd tearing off
in all directions. Luckily, they came to-
ward us and we see one cheetah give
high spring, about fifteen yards, and
seize his buck by the throat and roll it
over. We did not look any more; we
knew nothing would induce the Cheetah
to leave its prey till the bucks throat was
cut, and the animal enticed away with a
ladleful of blood. The other cheetah
having missed when it sprang gave up the
chase and came straight back to his mas
ter with his tail between his legs. We
were very lucky to see the hunt, for find
many old Anglo-Indians have never had
the good fortune to witness one, and the
Maharaiah seldom allows his cheetahs to
indulge in this sport"

Chinese Floating Gardens.

In the month of April bamboo raft,
ten to twelve feet long and about half as
broad, is prepared, says the CHINA Re
cieac. The poles are dashed together with
interstices of an inch between each.
Over this a layer of straw an inch thick
is spread, and then coating two inches
thick of adhesive mud, taken from the
bottom of a canal or pond, which receives
the seed. The raft is moored to the bank
in still water, and requires no further at
tentiOn. The straw soon gives way and
the soil also, the roots drawing support
from the water alone In about twenty
days the raft becomes covered with the
creeper GpOmea reptams), and its stems
and roots are gathered for cooking. In
autumn its small white petals and yellow
stamens, nesting among the round
leaves, present very pretty appearance.
In some places marshy land is probably
cultivated in this manner. Besides these
floating vegetable gardens there are also
floating rice fields. Upon RATS construc-
ted as above weeds and adherent mud
were placed as a flooring, and when the
rice shoots were ready for transplanting
they were placed in the floating soil,
which, being adhesive and held in place
by weed roots, the plants were maintained
in position throughout the season. The
rice thus planted ripened in from sixty
to seventy in place of one hundred days.
The RATS are cabled to the shore, float
ing on lakes, pools or sluggish streams.
These floating fields served to avert
famines, whether by drought or flood.
When other fields were SUBMERGED and
their crops sodden or rotten, these foated
and flourished, and when a drought pre-
vailed they subsidized with the falling
water and while the soil around was arid
advanced to maturit". Agricultural
treatises contain plates representing rows
of extensive rice fields mOOred to sturdy
trees on the banks of rivers or lakes
which existed formerly in the lacustrine
regions of the lower Yangstse and Yellow
River.

Turkish Oppression.

The large number of Turks who are

World correspondent, cannot enter the
army if they would, but they have never
theless to pay an exemption tax amount,
ing to 81, so year per male person. and
this tax is levied on the baby boy year
old as well as on the cid man of seventy
FIVE. When a poor Armenian, Greek or
Hebrew happens to have family Of SIX
or eight boys his expenses are materially
increased, and the number of these for
eigners in Turkey is so large that TINS
species of tax income amounts to q 2fs"'
deal Scattered about the hills Of On
stantinople are barracks which look IKE
palaces and which are probably QUIZ

The Wife of the French President.

Nine. Carnot, the wife of the Pres

is an extremely handsome as we'll as an
extremely agreeable and talented woman.
I saw her in public the other night with

rounded by many young and beautiful
women, she did not suffer by contrast.
Nine. Carnot assists in her husbands
policy of propitiating almost every one
she meets, and she has been especially
gracious to American women who have
visited Paris this year. Nine. Carnot is
not much given to pomp or show, but she
has nevertheless conducted those social
entertainments that the Parisians insist
that their President shall furnish with a
tact and ability that has increased her
husbands popularity as we'll as her own.
Now and then it is a dinner that is to be
given, periodically a reception and on
stated occasions there are grand balls,
and on all these occasions heretofore
both the President and his wife have so
acquitted themselves that even Paris has
found no reason to complain

IN THE PARKWAY.

Never a word is said,
But it trembles in the air.
And the truant voice has sped
To vibrate everywhere;
And perhaps far off in eternal years
The echo may ring upon our ears.
Never are kind acts done
To wipe the weeping eyes,
But, like flashes of the sun,
They signal to the skies;
And up above the angels read
How we have helped the sorer need.
Never day Is given
But it tones the after years,
And it carries up to heaven
It's sunshine or its tears;
While the to-morrows stand and wait
The silent mutes by the outer gate.
There is no end to the sky,
And the stars are everywhere,
And the time is eternity,
And the here is over there;
For the common deeds of the common day
Are ringing bells in the Far-Aawy.
