Snow Shoe Exercise by Soldiers.

There are now being made in certain
corps of the German Army some very
interesting experiments relative to the
introduction of snow shoes, to permit of
marching and service on campaign in
the severest weather.
The snow shoes used by the German
soldiers are the same us those that have
been employed for centuries in the coun-
tries of the north Of Europe Norway,
Lapland, etc. They consist, Us may be
seen from our engraving, OF thin strip
OF wood about yard in length, u little
wider than the foot, turned under and
curved ut the extremity and shod with
iron. Every one uses them in Norway,
and the results obtained arc truly won
der;ul. During the deepest SHOWS the
rural postman owes to them the possibil-
ity of continuing his service, not only
without delay, but with amazing rapid
ity. The hunters of the country. pro-
vided with snow shoes, pursue the hare
aud dispatch it with single blow of
the cane. The Norwegian soldiers, it
Is unnecessary to say, could not remain
strangers to this National sport. So.
since the middle of the last century, there
has existed In their country companies
OF light infantry broken in to marching
gu snow shoes and cah ble of rendering
the greatest services in case of u winter
campaign. AT present all the Norwegian
corps of infantry annually perform
maneuvers upon the snow with the aid
OF these shoes, and, in their canton
ments, even get up racing matches ON
snow shoes.
The foot soldiers OF tho Dutch Army
are exercised in the same way upon the
frozen canals that abound in their coun-
try.
Finally, in the Russian Army, certain
corps Cthe sharpshootcrs of the Imperia,
family and the Finnish sharpshooters)
are provided with analogous snow shoes.

A Great Desert North of Chicago.

Within hundred miles of Che .ro
begius a tract of z, 900, 900 acres of land
absolutely worthless in its present con-
dition. 1t extends across Michigan from
Grand Rapids to Saginaw, but in the
great desert of sand there is occasionally
an oasis covered with hardwood timber.
Lumbermcn have cleared the vast tract
of its growth of pine and now nothing
but stumps remain to show that the soil
has ever been able to produce vegets
ton.
Men who owned the land before it had
oeen cleared of its timbers have refused
to pay the taxes its ownership imposes,
and now the title to the property Is held
by the State subject to transfer to any.
one willing to pay the accrued taxes.
Representative A. II. Lindernan, of
Whitehall, Mich, who was recently at
tne Palmer House, claims that he knows
system of cultivation by which these
lands can be made fertile. "While this
tract Of land is, in its present condition,
practically worthless, said Mr.. Under
man, sit is burden to the people who
pay annually large sums of money to
clerks who transcribe the delinquent tax
lists. Under the present arrangement
this work must necessarily be carried on
indefinitely. Now the bill propose to
introduce will by its enactment stop this.
The lands will be offered for sale by
board of commissioners. Under the
provisions of the bill the money realized
will be used for the establishment and
maintenance OF an experimental station
to educate the holders of these lands in
its cultivation. 1t has been proved by
tests that the land can be titled by a SIM
pie method that can be explained to the
purchasers very briefly aud through the
experimental station higher cultivation
can be obtained. 1 fully believe that in
this way this hitherto useless land can
be made productive and valuable. -
