EIeetrieitr ON the Farm.

An interesting example of electricity
- applied to farm work Is now IN
~peration at Scotch farm. The whole
,f che usual farm machinery, such as
threshing, sowing, corn threshing and
the like, are here driven by an electric
motor. The electricity is generated
by water power, the turbine wheel
which drives the dynamo being about
1000 yards from the farm. The electric
current is conveyed by underground
wires to the house and farm, in each
of which storage battery is placed.
These supply the electric current tor
lighting and motive purposes when ne
the machinery is not working. Ihe
whole of the mansion is Illuminated
by electric light, and an electric motor
is provided for pumping the water Tor
domestic purposes. New York World.

THE WHEAT SAVED.
Parasites Save the Commissioners
Lot of Trouble.

Professor Otto Lugger, Minnesota State
entomologist, who was sent to investigate
threatened ravages of the army worm, said
that the worm swooped dewn upon
kittson County, prepared to devour
everything in sight. and would undoubtedly
have done SO but tor parasite. He went to
a field where the worms had already COM
menced operations, and in digging up lit
tie piece of earth less than foot square,
found at least 100 of these pests.
He submitted number of specimens to
microscopic examinations. Upon nearly
every one of the worms a small parasite. SO
small that it could not be distinguished
with the naked eye, had fastened itself
and was slowly eating out the worms
life. Professor Lugser went to the County
Commissioners. who We're in session
prepared to do what they could to pre-
vent the rayages of the pest and told them
they need give themselves no further trou-
bic. Nature had taken the matter out of
their hands. They were incredulous, es-
pecially when he told them that inside of
three days there would not be live army
worm in the whole Northwest.
Such has proved the case. The next day
he made another examination and found at
least fifty per cent. of the worms had al
ready succumbed to the inevitable, and next
afternoon forty-f1ve per cent. more died.
Now not one of them is to be found alive.

Co-RDUCATIoN prevails with a
vengeance at the Wesleyan College of
Delaware, o., where hazing has been
reduced to a fine art among the
female as we'll as the male students,
says the Baltimore Evening NeW
One evening last week, while the
young ladies of a class fraternity
were holding private meeting .
number of their classmates broke in
upon them. With a solution of
nitrate of silver, the invading party
painted pictures upon the naked
breasts and arms of their victims.
A reception was to have been held
the following evening, aud the "caus
tic pisturss' could only be concealed
under long sleeves and high nscked
dresses. On the night of this new
development of nude art" the male
sophomores of the same institution
broke into,a meeting of the juniors
aud treated the faces of these youths
to severe doses of caustic. According
to the reports the boys were strip
ed, laid upon ther faces and beaten
with red hot fire shovel" No
reason has yet been given for such
novel methods of brilliant fun The
gratifying feature of the business is
that warrants were sworn cut for
nine of the "humoristsn and that
under the Revised Statutes such
joking is rewarded with from one to
twenty years in the penitentiary.
