axis but the force lying in the direc-
ton of sunset would certainly cause
the earth to rotate.
Electricians claim that in magnets
or conducting wires it cannot, in the
present state Of scientific research, be
known which way the current moves,
but as to the earth it is known. Prof.
Bigelow Of the national weather bu-
reau says that n of three forces
comes to the earth at an angle Of Al
degrees north Of the perpendicular for
about eight days suddenly changes
direction and goes from the earth at
the same anglo for about nineteen

indicate the directions of these cur
rents and their sudden changes.
These important facts tell US that
tn C carth's rotation aud revolution do
not depend on momentum, that the
earth, sun and planets are not wound
up like a clock and therefore will not
stop when they run down. The facts
also prove that cur universe is a per.
petual motion, that electricity is the
motive power, that magnetism is a re-
suit of electricity, that the elements
surrounding the sun aud turning with
it cause the earth to ~revolve around
the sur and that the electrical currants
cause the earth to rotate on its axis.

TERRAPlN FARMING.
aow the Market is Supplied With This
Great Delicacy.

Terrapins the now greatest delicacy
known to the epicure are little lower
in price this year than they were last
although their comparative scarcity
makes them one of the most precious
Injuries says a Baltimore despatch.
"Counts"-that is terrapins that measure
six inches or over-which brought $55 per
dozen last year are now selling for $50.
The largest specimens are highly priced
for their flesh and have brought even
this year as high as $72 per dozen. The
more common varieties which have not
changed materially in price sell for SIS
to $40.
Terrapin farming as it is technically
dubbed by the trade has proved itself a
lucrative business. OF late years many
have entered into it and have earned
a good living by plying their strange
trade. One of the most noted of these
farms is situated on Hog Island Va.
which is located at the mouth of the
Coan river where all the advantages of
water and surroundings necessary for
the rearing of the animals are at hand.
The farm covers about two and one-half
acres of land and water aud is surround
ed by II BOARD fence which etfectually
prevents the teri apins from escaping.
The interior is divided into lots. Marshy
ground is afforded the animals for bur
rowing i'll the mud when cold weather
sets in.
The summer months seem to be the
favorite time for the terrapin to Law it's
eggs. This operation is performed in a
peculiar way which admirably demon
strates the sagacity of the animal. The
female first digs d hole in the sand with
her claws and hollows it out cleverIy in
the form of all inverted cone. In this
she deposits her eggs one layer at time
and having filled the cavity she covers
it over carefully and with her hard
breast shell packs the sand down over
the nest: She usually lays about ~ eggs
this being fair average The heat of
the sun matches the eggs and after they
have been in the ground about two
months aud half the little fellows dig
themselves out of the sand and take to
the water where they proceed to obtain
nourlshment as best they can. When
the cold weather comes on the terrapin
hunts his winter quarters which are gen
orally located at the bottom of the pond.
The older ones sleep all the winter at
the bottom and the younger ones live
around the edges of the bank AS a
natural consequence the terrapin only
requires care during the warm weather
They must be fed regularly with fish
crabs and other food OF which they are
fond. Such farms are stocked at any
season of the year. Whenever the ami
mails are caught they are placed within
the Enclosure where they find the quar-
tiers all prepared for their reception.
