ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

A Mexican paper states that new pro-
ject for the sanitation of the sewers in the
City of Mexico, at cost of about s25, 900,
calls for the building of some twenty five
windmills in different parts of the city to
rotate paddle wheels in the sewers and
quicken the current to one meter per
second.
The reason that the government built
its bug factory was that it wanted to raise
insects. see how they lived, what they ate,
how they changed in form, and find out
what would finally, destroy them. 1t is
easy to see how important all this in
formation would be to man who had
every year been bothered by insects he
could hardly see, and whose potatoes and
strawberries were being eaten by hun
cry army which paid nothing for the
feast.
One of the most conspicuous landmarks,
or, rather, snowmarks in the whole Of the
Arctic regions is the red snowbanks dis

snow that is as red as though it had been
saturated with blood. Lieutenant Greeley,
who visited that region while on his ia
nous Arctic expedition, microscopically
examined these blood stained cliffs and
reports the color due toa minute organism
which he calls Protococcus nivalis.
A correspondent of The Independent
says that the Hawaiian Islands have been
found to be richer in animal life than was
formerly supposed. AS result of a years
investigation by the British association,
through its committee. it has been found
that of birds there are rs species, of which
81 are peculiar to this group. All the
land and fresh water shells are peculiar,
and of 1000 species of insects, 700 are not
found elsewhere. 1t thus seems that these
islands have by no means been populated
from the continent, but have been centers
of independent creation.

Equal to Malmsey.

The water in which parsnips have been

Push and Enterprise"
(Hallowcll News

The Daily kennebec Journal, as usual
up to the present moment in push and
enterprise, came out with a finely illus
trated edition ON Wednesday telling us all
about our new Legislature which is now
actively engaged in serving the State.

A leading Portland physician, in con-
versation with an Express reporter, de-
clared his opinion that if the anti-toxine
remedy for diphtheria does what it ap-
pears TO do in the leading medical centres
of Europe and in this country, it will
certainly be ranked as one of the greatest
discoveries of the nineteenth century.
There were six deaths from diphtheria in
this city the last month. If the disease is
as prevalent throughout the State as here
then there would be about one hundred
deaths from it in Maine, and if this anti
toxine is capable of reducing the per
centage of deaths by one fourth, what an
immense saving of life there would be in
its use. This disease will be the subject
of the paper for the third stated meeting
of the Maine Academy of medicine on
Monday, the 18th inst, and the discus
sions upon the same may be looked for
ward to with a good deal of interest as
some of the ablest men of the State will
speak upon it.
There is reason to hope that out Of
this discussion may grow measures for
the cultivation of a supply of the anti
toxine remedy in Maine Diphtheria has
done much to swell the death rate in our
State and now that remedy has been
found which will stay its ravages our peo-
pie should not delay in securing the ad-
vantages of it.
New Sweden is proud to honor its
founder, Hon VIM. W. Thomas of Port
land, who is now visiting this scene of

A correspondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal calls attention to the fact that New
Sweden wants railroad. They ought to
have something of the sort. A railroad
would be an expensive luxury but right
here is a good scheme. Why not build an
electric road from Caribou to the capitol
building in New Sweden village. 1t is
about eight miles from the business por-
ton of Caribou up and with the exception
of the last mile and half level and ad
mirably adapted for an electric railroad
1t would be good place to do exactly
as they do in the West in some locations,
place sidings along and let farmers have
their produce brought down in that way
An engineer recently said that it would
be an easily built and inexpenivc road to
operate provided power could be obtained
at the Caribou dam. Why not have an
electric road here first9

McClure's magazine for January
demonstrates a new the throughness of
Miss Tarbell's study of Napolcon's career,
both by her remarkable summary of his
services to France as a far sighted ruler
and law giver and founder of institutions,
and by the remarkable discovery she
made of a contemporary document written
by grenadier of the consular guards de
scribing the battle of Marengo, and the
famous stand of the consular guards, in
which five hundred grenadiers in hol
low square withstood the onset of the
Austrian army, and turned a probable dc
feat into great victory. The paper is
especially valuable as giving the feeling
of the soldier toward Napoleon long be-
fore he became emperor. A new jungle
story by Kipling, and a thrilling battle
story by Conan Dolye, show these authors

Hector D. Lane, President of the

cotton growers some timely advice
which, if followed, will prove Of
great advantage to them. Our
readers will recollect that about a
month ago we published a letter
from Mr.. Lane in which he stated
that the Cotton crop of this year
could not exceed 1850, 900 and
advising the farmer to go slow IN
marketing his crop and by SO doing
they would get better prices and
his prediction is now admitted to
be correct as to the number Of
bales to be raised and gathered
and we all know the price has ad.
vanced So we believe that wha'
Mr.. Lane now says about the price

Cotton Report.

Cotton receipts have been heavy
for the last few days, showing the
total to nearly 20O0 bales. The
fine weather for harvesting and
the fine price, has stimulated the
farmer to gather and market his
crop as rapidly as possible. If the
price holds as it is now, the peo-
pie are well satisfied with it and
there will be no disposition to
hold back the crop. The bulk OF
it will be marketed by the middle
of December. The present indi-
cations are that in October the
price will not hold as good as in
September, but it may go up later.
