 H. Habenicht has written an article on the causes of the cyclones of the North Atlantic The author points out that, if the globe were covered with water, the general circulation of the air would be very regular, without local Impressions and steep barometric gra- dients, and he refers to the contrast of the systems prevailing, e. &. between the South Pacific and the North Atlantic. He finds the explanation primarily in the obstruction offered to the regular courses of the winds by the great continents to the east and west of the Atlantic; and, secondly, in the con- stant barometrical maxims over the conti- nent in winter and in the neighborhood of the Arctic regions.
 It Is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Here is correspondent of the Southern Farm urging all persons who owned slaves that were freed by the late war, and the heirs of such owners who are now dead, to make list of such slaves, stating the name, age and value of each slave, to get this state- ment properly attested and file it in the clerk of the courts office. "At all events" he adds, "get the list and get 1t properly attest ed, and if you do not file it, keep it and leave it with your children If you should die before it is ever of any value. The are many reasons why this should be done. First, it is only the act of a prudent man to chronicle in detail such an event as this. Second, the older men who owned slaves before the war are fast disappearing, and when they are gone it will not be an easy matter for their children or their grandchildren to get at the facts which are as clear to their minds to-day as they were twenty years ago. Third, there is good reason to believe that we or our de. scendants will at some day get paid for the slaves which were freed by war. If such 8
 measure were passed, say ten years hence, the necessity for such attested statements is apparent to every one. for one believe that we will sometime have 8 Democratic President, and round majority in both Senate and Congress, and when that day comes will not these legislators make reparation as far as possible for the acts of their thieving predecessors. by,paying us, at least in part if not in full, for our property, of which we have been ruthlessly destroyedl This would in some measure even up for the amount of money we are now paying out for

Catching Rastlssnakes for oil.

There are places in South Georgia where men extract oil from the rattlesnske and use it to cure rheumatism. Three persons will give @ negro $1 to point out a rattlesnske to them, and then they kill it in peculiar manner. They place forked stick over the snakes head, then put chord around it and strapgie the snake. This is done to keep the snake from biting itself. The body of the reptile is then strung mp and the oil ex- tracted from it. It sells al S2 per ounce, and this industry is very profitable one. The snakes in that section are very large, aversg- ing five feet in length, and one rattler gives up @ great deal of oil. A little negro once saw two rattlers lying close together, and wanted to get the money for finding them. It was a mile to the nearest house. He was afraid the snakes would crawl of while he was gone, and so took of his coat and placed it between the two snakes. He went of, came back, and found them still cycling the coat. He had them charmed. So the snake is cultivated down there as profitable industrv

Borfng for Honey.


 A successful boring for honey has been made in North Tennessee. For many years swarms of bees have been noticed by boat men at Fox Bluff, on the Cumberland river, near Franklin, Ky. The bluff is TO feet high, and the rivers channel runs directly under it. The bees have been observed about big 6esure near the center of the bluff, and the opening could not be reached from above or below without danger of being stung to death. As the bees had never been robbed it was thought large amount of honey was stored in the cliff. Recently 6 we'll borer named Starks visited the bluff and was at once impressed with the idea that he could reach the wonderful honey storshouse with his drill. After some coaxing he persuaded 8 number of farmers to undergo the expense, and a three-inch hole was bored from the top of the bluff. At depth of eighty-fve feet the drill struck the honey. According to dispatch "barrels and tubs by the score were filled and carried to the neighboring farms, and the syndicate has sent to Louis- ville for mora receptacles n
