THE LATEST IDEA.
Fowl Caught, Killed and Plueked by EleC-
tTiGity.

Probably the most remarkable invention
of the age is the pre- duct of the brain of
Chester County poultry raiser. The machine
is nothing more than eontrivance to catch,
kill and pick chickens. 1t works like a
charm, and, singular as it may seem, is not
at all complicated. The machine is con-
cealed in an old basket. for the average
barn-yard fowl is away above the average
bird in point of suspicion ana intelligence.

Women continue to encroach on the fields

nounced that Rudolph Aronson of the New

orchestras can scarcely be called novelty

from behind the barn, and seeing nothing

eagerly pick them up. One of the grains,

Seen From Abroad.

As an evidence of the fact that
the natural resources of West Vir.
ginia are such as to attract attention
wherever they are being widely
talked of, we clip the following from
the London (England) Times oil
May Sd, 1891:
West Virginia is proved to be ii
region of untold mineral wealth,
The call to labor has proved more
potent than call to arms. The
rocky businesses are alive with
miners, delving for the coal and iron
that have lain hidden for centuries.
Mills are humming in the deep val
leys and along the watercourses,
and in the primeval forests the red
shirted woodsman is swinging his
axe and driving the bear and wolf
before him. Railroads scale the
mountain-tops and penetrate the
clouds. Oil isspurting from subter-
ranean reservoirs, natural gas pours
forth in torrents, and the glow of n
thousand furnaces lights the night.
The people are in earnest, and are
toiling to develop the riches of this
hitherto unexplorcd territory, which
is larger than all the Netherlands,
with about twelfth of their popuIa-
ton. The opening of new railways
is now looked forward to with ankle
ty by the settlers. The railroad
that has really made the western
part of the State is the West YIrgi-
Centeral and Pittsburgh, which was
the first to traverse the backbone of
the Alleghanies and penetrate to the
Appalachian coal field. Ithas push
ed its way through an unbroken
forest, and climbed along the sides
of deep 'abysses and over the sum-
nit of mountain, turning howl
ing wilderness into q center of COM
mercial activity.
