March of rabbits in Australia.

The Surveyor General of Queensland
recently issued report on the rab-
bit invasion, and it is plain that the
furry and prolific little rodent is a
more formidable public enemy to
Queensland than would be feet of
hostile ironclads. The Queensland
rabbit is quite new variety, with
extraordinary digestive powers and a
malign intelligence to which only the
despairing blasphemy of Queens
land stock drover can do justice.
It fiourishes in times of drouth, and
grows fat while cattle and sheep perish
of mere hunger.
Queensland is being gridironed with
rabbit proof fences. One running
from Darling Downs to Eyre Creek is,
the same authority states, 1,10O miles
long; and no doubt these. fences, when
skillfully constructed, do arrest the
rabbit wave, and rabbits, unable to
go forward, and without wit enough
to turn back, perish in vast numbers.
In some districts the southern side OF
this great barrier is ''white with the
bones of millions and millions of
these rabbits;n but the young rabbits
often contrive to get through the
meshes of the fence, and quickly breed
into new hosts, tlinneiing the sand
hills till they are mere traps, and eat
ing of the pasture as with innumer-
able scythes. The rabbit, in word,
leaves science itself bankrupt. Aus

a WONDERFUL LIGHT.
1t HIS a Power Equal TO ESQ, 600, 900
Candles.


In the lamp house of the Govern
ment light house station at Tomkins-
ville,, Staten Island, is housed the
most wounderfullight in the world. The
light itself stands Is feet high, the face
OF its bull's-eye is feet across and its
lenses are as much as inches thick.
1t is capable of flashing ray of light
equivalent to the power OF go, ,O00, 900
candles, and the distance from which
| it can be seen on clear nights is prac-
tlcally limited only by the curvature
of the earth. The flash will have the
Intensity and binding glare of stroke
|! of lightning.
That part of the light which revel-
yes weighs fifteen tons and SO exquis-
lite is the mechanism by which it is
moved that the pressure of fingers
will turn it. A child could control
tho machinery, and the motive power
which propels it is a single bit of
clockwork lncased in box . feet
square.
The light consists of two concave
discs about 81 feet in diameter. These
discs are placed back to back about a
foot apart, and in position look like
tremendous double convex magnify
| ing lenses, so large that they
could not be cast in two single pieces,
and had tou built up in, segments,
and the whole string together on a
great iron skeleton. And this, in
point of fact, is precisely the case.
Back to back, the lenses inclose 4
hollow interior, into which is thrust
a powerful ele, sric light. This light
of itself is abo 1t 200 candle power.
When its ligEs is projected through
these huge magnifying prisms its pow
er is itensifed more than $4,000 times.
1t is altogether beyond the human
Imagination to grasp the possible
effect of 250, 100000 candles, which is
the Illuminating power OF this new
lighthouse wonder. At the present
time the finest oil lamp which ingen-
uity has been able to devise may be
seen on clear night some thirty five
or forty miles at sea. This new light
may be seen at a point 40 miles away.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Existence of Secret Treaty strong
lysuspected.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The Constanti-
nople correspondent of the Standard
telegraphs that M. Nelidoff, the Rus
sian ambassador, has had long pri-
vate audience with the Sultan. He
adds that it would cause no surprise
should it be learned that there is a
secret Russo-T Turkish treaty. 1t is
well known in Constantinople that the
so-called concert of the powers con-
sists of a confused entente between
Ave of them, while Russia backs Tur-
key, whose finances are in hopeless
condition. Russia, it is said, is now
offering to loan money to the Porte.
A Russian syndicate, which is strong
ly supported by the Russian Embassy,
has applied for concession for a
petroleum monopoly, offering there
for the sum of 25, 600, coo francs yearly.
All the foreign embassies, with the
exception of the Russian, are prepared
to strenuously resist the granting of
the monopoly. Turkeys financial
troubles reached such a pitch last
week that the Treasury applied to
every province for 10000 francs with
which to pay the troops. Smyrna was
the only vilayet that was able to meet
the demand

Can a Man be Happy.

Is there a satisfied soul in all the
world? 1t seems that mine ought to
be, but it isn't. Let me state my case.
am a bachelor of 40, past, in perfect
health, and have always been so;
haven't any seriously bad habits;
haven't any skeleton in my cupboard:
haven't any money to worry over. but
can make comfortable living at con-
genial labor, doing it when and where
please, with no one to command my
time or services except myself; have
my share of good looks. good brains.
good friends, good social position,
and good times; have no one depend
ent on me; have plenty to eat and
drink and wear and a living place in
a swell neighborhood; can belong to
clubs If l want to; live in the city in
the winter and the country in the sum-
mer; am on agreeable terms with all
womenkind; am not in love; am dis
posed to take things as they come and
give them up as they go: have never
been called upon to experience pain
or grief; men say they'd like to trade
places with me: women say. ''You
ought to be perfectly happy:" have
secured enough reputation at my work
to be lifted above the level of obscu-
rity; have travelled some in this couu-
try and abroad and have read books:
wake up some mornings wondering
what I can possibly find to worry
abous during the days am on speak
ing terms with everybody l know. In
fact. ought to have satisfied soul,
but haven't.
Everybody thinks Ihave, everybody
says have, but everybody doesn't
know what he is talking about
feel as if 1 ought to be doing some
thing more than l am doing: that
am not using the powers nature has
endowed me with as they should be
used, though I am busy trying all the
time. Now what is to be done:
Should I get married and assume the
responsibilities OF family. with al
its joys and cares? Should accumu.
late property and worry myself sick
when / sustain loss: Should I ruir
my health by dissipation and gain
sympathy? Should make beast o.
burden OF myself, or become the slave
OF some employer who will pay me
more than can earn in my independ
ent position?
Should I make myself unhappy il
my efforts to be happy? Or-but yor
can see the limitless expansion o
these questions. Doesn't it resolve
itself into this, that when human be
ing has only imaginary worries he i:
about as we'll satisfied as human
being can be? Would it improvt
matters any to make the worries? How
many millionaires of your acquaint
ance live in a serener atmosphere thar
do? How many of the great ant
noble of the earth can truthfully sa,

Congressman Cobb won't Use Hisln-
fuence Lavfshly.


wAsHNGTpN, D. c.. Dec. al
CO ngressman Cobb has been overrun
by citizens of Congressional districts
of Missouri, which are now represent
ed by Republicans, requesting him to
interest himself in the matter OF APP
pointments.
There is no doubt that the influence
oi MIR. Coob is SO potent with the ad-
m nistration that this Endorsement of
an applicant for Office in district
represented by Republican would
be honored. Consequently, if Mr..
Cobb started out to look after the post
offices of these districts, he would
have no time for anything else, be-
sides being liable to get into hot water,
as he naturally weuld not be familiar
with local conditions.
In view of this Mr.. Cobb announced
that under no condition will he inter-
FIRE with patronage belonging to an
oiher district.

SOME POPULAR ERRORS.
Conserving the Moon-Irish Brosue
and the Human Anatomy.

Concerntnx the Moon-Irfsh Brosue
and the Human Anatomy.
There is no error which prevails
more widely, even among educated
people, that the belief that a man has
one rib more in his right side than in
his left, the deficiency being supposed
to have been inherited from Adam. As
fact, men and women each have
twenty-four ribs, twelve on each side.
One of the strangest errors is the
delusion that the se-called chances Of
the moon affect the weather. This
superstition, handed down from re-
mote times, is held by the majority,
both educated and otherwise, through
out the world. 1t is almost impossible
to convince believer of this error,
his answer being invariably to the
strongest arguments: ''But how
about the tides?n Yet scientists de-
clare that the moon has no control
or connection with atmospheric
changes.
A mistake which is widely believed
by all classes is that II dead body
be carried across any land on the way
to the grave itestablishes a publicright
OF way over the land forever. There
is no ground whatever for the idea,
nor $50 far as the writer can ascer.
tain) has there ever been any ground
at any time. Why such an idea
should be prevalent is mystery, bot
it is seriously entertained, even by
many educated people.
Ths notion prevails both in Eng
land and Scotland that the Irish pro-
nounce the dipthong ee broadly. In
songs and stories say ''swate'' for
sweet, ''strate" for street, .'chaze" for
cheese, 'sindaden for indeed, etc. This
is altogether wrong. It is the diph-
thong ca that is pronounced. Thus,
"speak" is 'sspake," meat is
'inate, /" which pronounciation Irish
men maintain to becorrect.
One of themost commonest mistakes,
and one prevalent even among edu-
Gated classes. is that the heart is on

take: but it is the smaller section of
the heart that is to the left side, as q

will verify. The popular error re-

is on the left side, and when any
twitch is felt it is of course at that
part.

There are in this city several Ger
mans. good farmers, who for ten or
fifteen years have rented from fifteen
to twenty acres near town each year
and cultivated il. This seems to us a
waste OF money, for If they would
buy a small farm from eight to ten
acres and expend the energy and skill
on their own property that they do on
some one else's they would pay for It
in short while, and every nail they
drove and every tree they planted
would be their own property. AS long
as the best land in the immediate
vicinity of this city can Do bought al
800 per acre or less. It is foolish
to rent. This town always furnishes
3 good market for the gardiner, and
st. Louis and Chicago are within
twelve hours ride Of this city.
