MILWAUKEE Sentinel The de
cline in the value of land in Eng
land during the past ten years is
something enormous. a writer in
the London Spectator says that the
capitalized loss on the value Of land
in that country since 1880 amounts
to over 5s3,o00,0o0 pounds sterling,
in our currency S2,915,o 1000. This
decline is due To the fall in rents
owing 10 the influence of cheap
agricultural produce from America,
Russia, Australia, India and South
America, against which the English
farmer cannot successfully compete.
In the face of these cheap supplies
the English farmer has been obliged
to demand large reduction of his
rent or TO abandon the land he
occupied,

A CHICAGO gentleman writes UNI
der recent date to the Scientific
american enquiringly as follows:
"a few days ago the writer had
occasion to drive through a section
of the hill country of Southern
Wisconsin. A wet snow had fallen
during the night and had lodged on
all sides, weighing down the branch
es of trees to a marked degree.
Along one side of the roadway
ran a barbed wire fence at the edge
of a second growth of timber
three strands, on firmly set posts,
about l ( feet apart. The snow had
ceased falling. Not a breath Of air
prevailed. Suddenly my driver ex-
claimed:
Whats the matter with that
fence? pointing toward a section
perhaps three rods in advance.
| looked, and saw that the two
upper strands of the wire We're
vibrating violently, showing play
of one to one and one-haif inches;
the motion being distinctly up and
down aud in no perceptible degree
lateral.
Reaching the point abreast of the
agitated section, "a distinct increase,
/. G., variation, in the vibration was
discernible.
We proceeded on our way, and
half a mile further on came upon
another section vibrating in like
manner, aud further on still another;
while in no case did the strands on
either side of the agitated sections
show any motion whatever.
On our return an hour or two
later, the same agitation was in
progress at the same points; and we
agreed that the cause was beyond
our know ledge, and was certainly
not a visible agent
All To whom | have spoken on the
subject are equally unable to eN-
plain the phenomenon Hence this
appeal to the Scientific 1mericlE.
Can ths cause have been metal
deposits reaching up toward 81
surface at the particular points; nd
If SO, what metal?'
To which the editor of that yalu-
able publication replies in this way:
eve should certainly attribute the
occurrence to currents Of arr, per-
haps imperceptible to you, but which
were Just right to produce the vibra-
ton Of wire of the particular size
and tension Of that which ylbrated.
Telegraph wires often sound loudly
when there is very little wind and
are mute when it blows harder"
