Plague of Them Now Infestin< the
Scottish BORDERS.
Chicago Herald


Chicago Herald.
There is veritable mice plague on the
Scottish borders which has done immense
damage to pasturage. The heritage has been
totally destroyed. not a vestige of green hav-
ing been left. There is consequently no al
tentative but TO remove the greater number
of the sheep and find food for them else
where. 1t is believed that two-thrds of the
sheep on the affected farms will have to be
removed. SO that the outlook for the winter
and spring is very gloomy. Farmers unani.
mously attribute the plague to the destruc-
tion by game-keepers of the weasel, hawk,
owl. maybe and other natural enemies of
mice. and to the fact that tenants are pre-
vented from burning rough pasture in
spring, Apropos OF this mice pest Francis
substitute Of Roxburghshire, mentions
an extraordinary instance of the in-
crease OF mice which occurred a few
years ago In the new plantation
made by order of the crown in Dean Forest,
Gloucester. and in the New Forest, Hants.
Various plans were devised for the destruc-
lion OF the mice-traps were set, poison laid
and cats turned OUTPUT nothing appeared
10 reduce their numbers. Ii was at last
suggested that holes should be dug.
and so accomplish their destruction. Holes
were accordingly made. about twenty yards
apart, and in the proportion of about
twelve per acre. These holes were from Is
to 70 inches ia depth. aud two feet one way
By one and half feet the other, and were
much wider at the bottom. so that the YER
min when once In could not easily get out
again. In three or four months at least
3uOO0 mice were caught in this way. and
considering that large numbers were killed

birds OF prey. u was computed that the de-
strnction OF mice In the two forests would
probably amount 20 100000.

A French chemist. who has been giving

has devised novel stove, which In app ear
ance resembles an ordinary heating stove.
1t Is so arranged internally that the waste
heat is utilized for the generation Of cleo
tricity. This Is secured by humber Of
rectangular boxes of sheet-iron, containing
the necessary metallic elements for furnish
iug the current These elements are in
sulated by asbestos, and the cooling is
effected partly by the shape in which the
metallic alloys are cast and partly by a cir
culation OF air.
The current obtained is not great In
amounts, but the result of this attempt
seems to be favorable. Accumulators are
used for storing up the electricity, and as
the heating is required for much longer
period than for lighting, the electrical
energy, which would be lost during the
hours OF daylight, is saved. A point Of con-
siderable moment is that the heat utilized In
this way is waste heat, 30 that any portion
that can be recovered in the form OF cleo
trcity is so much gain.

lowing statement to me last evening In
reference to the mislaid letter:
II am surprised and sorry that mention
has been made of the conversation which
had on the subject. The idea which | at
tempted TO convey In reference &c the mis-
laid letter was that could not say whether
II would have affected my resignation, as
had no knowledge Of the contents OF the let
ter. In my correspondence with the Coy
ernor some time since, which has been pub
lished In the columns OF The Times. re-
aucSted that in view of the fact that he
never granted a court Of inquiry, that my
regiment be inspected by some other officer
than Colonel Stern. believing, as j expressed
II at the time. that this would be more
pleasant 10 all concerned
'When | received his reply declining my
request Undermined to resign my position
before the inspection. and | told several per-
sonal friends Of my intention. II is certain
ly mcrtifying 10 me that any other motive
should be attached to my action. as there
seems 10 be an impression, which has only
come 10 mo as a rumor, on the minds OF
some that there were unpleasant relations
between the field and stan officers. wish
20 say that | have the highest regard fer
eech member Of the field and stan who are
all personal friends Of mine, and / think
that 1t Is an injustice TO them for any one
TO drag them into an affair for which | am
