70 EXTINCTION Prairie fires.

An inventive genius of North Dakota
has just patented device for making a
fire break to fight prairie fires with. It
is a sheet iron continuance five feet wide
and seven feet long and about two feet
high. On top Of it are three circular reser-
yoirs for holding gasoline Underneath
is arranged series of burners designed
to set fire to the grass as the machine
passes over it. The main part Of the APP
paratus Is followed by sheet iron trailer
In three sections, each five by seven feet
While the first two Of these are pass
ing over the grass it is supposed to be
well consumed, and the final trailer is
designed to extinguish every particle Of
fire. The invention is awakening much
interest among the ranchmen, many Of
whom believe the machine will prove
impracticable because 1t will not securely
conHne the fire and 1t WIN thereby cause
serious CONGREGATIONS. The inventor
claims it viii safely burn q strip i've

Green slotl,s.

The sloths at the Geological gardens
are not quite SO green as they were when
they first arrived. We do not refer to
their growing recognition of the fact
that nuts, and buns are not suitable food
for an arboreal creature which subsists
upon leaves. but to literal change Of
color. 1t is most remarkable fact that
the sloth has in the wild state green hair,
which causes it to resemble, as it clings
to q branch, an excrescence of that
branch covered with greenish gray IL
chens. Inthis way the sloth may perhaps
sometimes escape the keen eye Of ia
guar.
It is still more remarkable that the
green color is not resident in the hair it.
self, but is due to the presence Of guam
titles Of minute green plants; and this
explains how it is that in captivity the
sloth changes color; the plants, deprived
OF the damp heat Of their native forests,
die, and are not replaced, so thepeculiar
gray green which is so characteristic Of
the sloth Is changed to a brownish gray.

A storehouse 81 Eleetrlcity.s

Minnesota, not to be behindhand in
marvels, tells Of an electric well which
one Of its citizens claims to have been
discovered near Red Wing recently. Ac-
cording to the story the drillers had
drilled about $50 feet when they lost
their drill rods and diamond drill.
The whole business had dropped to mo-
where in an instant There was quite a
force of air coming out Of the hole, and
the men said there was no use going any
farther, because there wasn't any bot
tom. They concluded to fish for the
rods and drill, but as soon as the rods
were dropped into the hole they began
to shiver in queer way.
One of the men took hold of the bar
with q pair Of leather gloves, and he was
knocked down. Then Hollywell touched
the rope and got q shock, because it was
wet. There seems to be perfect natu-
