It is becoming more and more evident that
the friends Of free silver are prepared to make
n desperate struggle against the repeal of the
Sherman law, unless a He-coinasc law is to
take its place. A call was issued yesterday
by General A. J. Warner for convention OF
the American Bimetallic League to be held in
Chicago on August 1, and General Warner
SAYS that a poll of the members OF Congress
gives assurance that unconditional repeal is
impossible. 1t is understood that the conven-
ton will adjourn to meet in Washington, where
it will probably continue in session after Con-
aress begins its work. The friends of sound
money must be prepared to face bitter and
determined opposition in the effort to re-
establish the finances.

There was nothing more significant in the
Tammany Fourth of July celebration than the
appearance of Postmaster Dayton as one of
the speakers, and the manner in which he put
on the Tammany rcgala offered him by one
of the big chiefs and then removed it on get
ting up to make his speech. His remarks were
listened to with intense interest by the large
number of Tammany followers who would like
good places in the Postoffice, but he said moth
ing to give them much ground for hope While
be lauded Tammany, his conduct and words
were calculated to create doubt as to the
heartfelt character of his devotion to the or

YANKEE WINDMILLs. Prof. Robert
II. Thurston the dircctorof Sibley Col
lege, Cornell Unworthy, has an article
on Modern Uses of the Windmilp'
in the Engineering Magazine in
which he says: American Wind
mills, like almost every other product
Of American ingenuity and skill,
constitute type quite different from the
older forms original in Europe and the
East The latter all belong to the same
species, consisting usually of four arms
set at angles of 80 degrees, with sails Gov.
cring but a small fraction. The American
mills consist of numerous radial
arms. and have sails set SO CLOSELY
together that, practically, the whole cir
Gle is covered. These sails are commonly
wooden Stats or blades, tapering from
end to end, and so set that they may in
tercept the whole current of air passing
inside the outer circle described BY their
tips. They are SO inclined as to dehect
the air, IS it passes among them, and
absorb a considerable portion of its
energy. Thus is formed s'screw, !"
somewhat resembling that of steam
vessel, but having amuch larger number
OF blades. 1t is capable of giving vastly
more power, and has much higher eff
ficiency than the old MILL though for
stated power much smaller and lighter,
and more "business-like" in appearance.
Naturally this improved construction,
for which credit is due to the American
mechanic, is displacing its old rival,
even in the home of the latter, and the
American" mill is now to be seen all
over the world, England, Germany,
France, Holland, and their colonies on
the opposite side of the globe, having
oil taken it up, as they have so many
other Of the fruits Of the genius of the
Yankee" inventor, and with results
most satisfactory to themselves no less
than to the inventor.

There are no wagon roads, so baggage
or material is strapped on the backs OF
mules or donkcys, which have to travel
over narrow bride paths, up hill and
down dale, piece OF level road being
rare. Every traveller carries "machete"
"a sort of sword with very broad blade
to cut down vegetation and overhanging
branches or vines which obstruct the
path. On the Magdalena river there are
a few steamers of the shallow stern wheel
type, but they are not by any means
luxurious, notably so in the lack of state
rooms, and at night the decks are strewn
with sleeping forms, making it difficult
and delicate matter to pick ones way
across the boat. The food is poor and
the service barbarous, and this in spite
of the well known fact that the business
is profitable one. In a word, both
man and nature seem to do everything
possible to discourage travel in this
tropical land
The foreigner is repaid, however, for
many of the discomforts of travel
by the strange objects Of every nature
and the wonderful scenery peculiar to
these regions thus brought before him the
woods are full Of life, birds of rich
plumage fly from tree to tree, among
them the screeching parrot, the gawdy
macaw and others, while the monkeys in
the tree-tops watch the traveller with
curious eyes, chattering as only they
know how to; the rivers and broad
lagoons swarming with alligators, some
sleeping lazily on the banks basking in
the hot sun, and others gliding through
the water in search of victims; on either
side large herons. spotlessly white, dart
upwards on the approach of the steamer,
and the banks are covered with plants
and trees whose rich foliage is only known
to the voyager in the tropics. The Col
ombian, however, cares but little about
any place but his native village or prov
ince, and generally knows less, and even
those who have travelled in the States
and Europe have seen only small ex-
tent of their native land owing to the
hardships and Inconvenience of jour
ney either by land or on board one of
their poorly managed, but really service
able steamers. In fact, the best road
one sees in this country is the blue Car
ribbean sea. the former hunting ground
of the famous buccaneers, and the only
highway to "home and native land

Strange Fatality Among Crowt.

mon fact in the natural history 81 our
common American crow. refer to the
freezing of the cornea, followed, OF
course, by blindness and death from
starvation. During the winter just
past hundreds of them died in this man
ner near my house, although feeding
plenteously in neighboring cornfleld,
where large amount of corn wps, and
still is, left out in the shocks. II have
observed the same thing during several
severe winters in former yeaHss but this
winter greater numbers than lever be-
fore knew have persisted. IN frozen
eyes become entirely opaque and finally
much swollen Besides those dead from
losing both eyes there are now, all about
here, numerous individuals blind of one
eye, which are in good condition in all
other respects. / have never seen any
other bird similarly affected. | have
seen several notices of crows starving to
death in large numbers in local news
papers, no doubt all blind. Doubtless
many thousands have so persisted. | do
not think our game birds have suffered
materially, nor have | seen a single frozen
small bird as | have often in former
years. This peculiar weakness OF the
eye of the crow is, it seems to me, a
highly remarkable fact. take it to be
a particular case of survival of the tittest
eye. l think perhaps five per cent. OF
the crows in this immediate vicinity have
suffered loss of one or both eyes. From

The Indians Maple Sugar.

Ever since the Indians in the section
now known as Fletcher discovered
"honey'' in the maple trees, that district
has been known far and wide as the
heart OF the Vermont maple sugar coun-
try. The way the red man extracted the
delicious compound was somewhat slow
as compared with the present process.
he used to cut a slanting cash in the
bark and insert in the lower end 4 pa,pe-
shaped piece Of wood, from which the
sap ran and dropped into poplar or
Eastwood trough. Atwthe end of the
season these troughs would be set IN
against the trees and left until the fol
lowing season, by which time the trourhs
would be thoroughly widowed. This
materially added to the flavor OF the alb
original sugar, but can hardly be said to
have improved it. The evaporator Of
these times consisted Of an iron kettle
swung from sapling bent overa stump.
BY slow and tedious process the sap was
first heated and then boiled iii this ket-
tie, often taking two or three days boil
ing before it could be sugared OIL. This
was the way in which the redskins
and the early Vermontors eked out
4 'sweetnin'n to their tea aud Johnny
cake.
IA the best Fletcher groves Of to-day
a long pipe or trough line runs from
some central spot in the grove dawn to
the big storage tanks in the sugar house.

under full Roadway, will convert the
