put itself exactly at right angles TO
that current Reasoning from this
phenomenon We infer that What causes
the needle 10 point always nocthward
when it is not disturbed by local cur
rent, IS the circumstance that currents
OF electricity are ali the time flowing
about the earth from east to west
The magnetic pole stands related TO
these currents as the geographical pole
does to the parallels Of latitude.
But the magnetic north, or pole,
does not correspond with that OF the
earth. Il is. therefore, probable that
the lines OF direction Of earth electric
currents are not parallel with the
equator, as are the parallels OF lati-
tude. This pole was found by Ross,
in 1880, to be in lat. 20 deg. mir. II

High License.
From Tie Haaersto,on .Me,es.

From The HdgerStolon Ne,oS.
According to the Philadelphia Ledger, the
faithful administration of the Brooks High
License Law in that city has resulted in a
wonderful decrease in drunkenness, crime
and pauperism, as we'll rs adding largely to
the public revenue. The commitments
to the county prison from June, 1888, to
May, 1889, inclusive, were nearly 10000 less
than during the corresponding periol of the
previous year; the Sunday laws were so
well observed that the commitments for Of
fences on those days were reduced from
2061 in 1886 81 to 1893 in 1887 SO and 1871 in
1888 80. The commitments of women were
similarly reduced from 2Sl to 1873 and then
to Al. Other causes may have been at work,
says the Letlger, but there can hardly be any
question that the main cause of this remark
able Improvement was the reform in the
methods of conducting the liquor business
brought about by good administration of
the Brooks law.
High license is taking hold upon public
sentiment in Maryland, and the next Legis
lature will most likely pass law similar to
that of Pennsylvania. The people are not
ready for prohibition, and il is impossible to
properly enforce Il law not supported by
the people. In every county where prohi
bition prevails, it is openly delied. People
will drink and people will sell, and where
pro hibition is attempted the spirit of def
ance is aroused. Let high license, with pro
per restraints and safeguards, be tried in
Maryland.

four miles from here, TO admire his s eek
pampcrcd blUOled stock. He has by far
the most complete stock farm in the county.
1t comprises pedisree'l stock Of horses AMI
cattle unsurpassed by the oldest Kentucky
stock farms, shelter from the summer sun
and winter storm, fine water, plcnteous
grass and spacious acreage AMI skilllul ut
tendants; and besides these requirements,
he intends building in Il short time race
track on the farm.
The Major informed us that his Gelddust
horse Kiota, whom he expected to give a
record this season before placing him in the
stud next spring, sprained his shoulder II
few days previously in the second heat after
trotting the first one in 225. But he thought
it a temporary injury, and remarked that he
hoped to be able to make his competitors
trot at Pimlico in September.
In talking of our approaching Fair, the
Major observed that he would have about
seventy-llve head Of stock on exhibition,
and informed us of Il new guide laid down
for the judges of mich cows in making
their award of premiums, viz: that the SUI

investigating the Cattle Fly-Last

IhVCpu8atAhk tuC Satthc fly.-LaSt
summer new pest was reported in cattle
in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and
Northern Virginia. The pest has again
made its appearance this summer. 1t is a
small fly half the size of house fly which
settles in great numbers around the base of
the horns and other portions of the body
where it cannot be reached by either tail or
head. 1t sucks q moderate amount of blood,
reduces the condition of the cattle and les.
sens the yield of milk by from one third to
one-half. This new pest has been investi-
gated by the Department of Agriculture
through the acting entomologist, l.. 0. How
ard, who has succeeded in tracing the entire
life history of the pest He finds that the
COW droppings, and that from the develop
ment from the egg through the maggot stage
to the perfect tiy again space of only 10
days is necessary He says this rapidity of
reproduction accounts for the wonderful
numbers in which these flies appear, and it
follows with reasonable certainty that the
insect will pass the winter in the quiescent
stage at the bottom of manure dropped late
in the fall (the approximate date to be de.
termined later) The preventive is obvi-
ously to lime the manure in the fall in the
places where the cattle preferably stand at
night. At the present time applications may
be made to mich cows and valuable ami
mails which will keep the flies away. The
