ART IN STAINED GLASS.
First Window Made in America for
 Export.

NEW YORK, July 15.-A stained glass window, one of the first ever de- signed or made in this country for ex- port to Europe, has just been complet- ed by a company in this city and will be shipped to England within short time.
 It is to be placed in the church of Wickhambreau, Kent, England, as a memorial to Mrs. Harriette Dur. de Gallatin by her son, Count James Gal latin, member of the well-known New York family of that name. The win dow was designed by Arid Rosen- kranz and is said to be very artistic. It is divided into four lights and in style of outline is rather forid Gothic.
 In the upper part of the window there are seven figures of 'arohangels, with Gabriel in the center, in white robes, holding lily.
 The other figures are those of Raph- ael, in orange colored draperies; Anael in yellow; Andoniel, in red; and Mich ael, clad in armor and bearing a shield on which is represented the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden
 Below the group is figure repre- senting the Virgin Mary, draped in deep purple and walking in garden of lilies. Among the lilies appears 8 flaming cross. Drops of blood fall from the cross upon the lilies below it

HOPPER MACHINE.
How a Dodge City Farmer Saved His
 Alfalfa.

DODGE CITY, Iowa, July 15.-There are various devices for catching grass hoppers, but perhaps no grasshoppers machine" is so effective as the unique affair gotten up by Gilbert Bros., and which is being used on their farm with good results.
 It is a 24-foot sled-. with back board, against which the grasshop- pers fly as the sled is pulled over the fields; and under the back board are several vats partly filled with coal oil into which the hoppers drop. A horse is attached to each end of the sled, and as the engine of destruction" and grasshopper exterminatOr moves across the field it cuts a wide swath. It is estimated that ten bushels of grasshoppers are caught day, while an equal quantity are killed in the pro cess of operation, making twenty bush els a day; and should the hopper catch CT follow many days would lead to an enormous quantity of hopper catching. The coal oil used is no small item in the expense of operation, but the out lay of time and expenses is justified in the increased quantity of alfalfa hay realized. Once exterminated, the hop pers do not again bother the same field
