Manned Lawmakers.

Three United States Senators lack
limb apiece. Butler and Wade Hampton,
both of South Carolina have but two
legs between them to represent the un-
derstanding of the delegation from that
State Both wear wooden limbs, though
in Buffers case you would never suspect
it. He lost his on the field of battle,
while Hampton, who fought all through
the war without receiving wound, sus-
tanned amputation on account of a kick
by mule. Berry, of Arkansas, lost a leg
in fighting for the Confederacy at the
battle of Corinth.
A few members of the House have to
get along without leg or an arm. Gen
eral Henderson, of Iowa, Boothman, OF
Ohio, and Laws, of Nebraska, are each
minus leg on the Republican side.
They, together with Lynn, of Minnesota,
who has only one arm left, are entitled
to an artificial limb every five years from
the government. On the Democratic side
General Hooker, of Mississippi, and
Oates, of Alabama, have each lost an arm
and Stone, of Kentucky, leg; but
Uncle Sam does not provide them with
any substitutes. = Washington Star.

Instruction in Road Making.

The Executive Committee of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology has ac-
cepted an offer of General Albert A.
Hope of this city to contribute such
sums of money as the institution may
need during the next five years, up to
the amount of Sc, 900, for the promotion
of an option in highway engineering con-
nected with the course in civil engin-
eering or mechanical engineering. This
sum is to be used by the institute in pre-
pairing some competent graduate, by
studies at home and abroad, for nomi-
nal instructorship on this subject in the
institute, the instructor gathering mater
ial and facts on the subject for the ben
eft of the institute, delivering a course
of lectures thereon yearly, and standing
ready for consultation by the officials Of
towns and cities not employing perma-
nent city engineers. 1t is expected that
the option will eventually lead to the es-
tablishmcnt of department on highway
engineering, most important but sadly
neglected Standardization Journal.

A Terrapin Farm.

A terrapin farm is described by the
Fernandina Fla.) News. 1t is an inclo-
sure about twenty feet square, onc-half
of it filed with loose sand and tank
occupying the rest of the space. The
tank is below the tide level, and at high
tide the salt water runs in from the
marsh to a depth of four feet. The sand
was all perforated with holes, and the
owner, digging down with his fingers,
unearthed some baby terrapins an inch
or two long. They were lively little
fellows and were restless in the daylight.
The earth was full of them only few
days old, The mud at the bottom of the
tank was also full of them. After they
are few days old they seek the water,
and, burying themselves in the mad, re-
main there until spring, when they come
out to make start in the world. All
this period spent in the mud they live
by suction. They sell for $1S dozen
in New York when fully grown. The
little fellows are from the eggs deposited
by the old females. The terrapin lay
four or five times in season, beginning
with about nine eggs at the first laying
and winding up the season with lay of
about three.
