an RxeeptIonaIIy Rrlqht MeteOr.

Aztec, January 29.-Editor INDEX:
Last Saturday, about six o'clock, while it
was yet light enough to see all objects
quito plainly, there appeared a very
brilliant meteor, moving slowly across
the southern heavens. It was first seen
by a party, Of which the writer was one
in a direction nearly west by southwest
and appeared to be moving slightly
north Of due east II was about thirty
five degrees above the horizon when
nearest the zenith. and not until il
buratsd, did the attraction Of the earth
seem to affect it in the least, although
the bursting was probably due to it's
entering a denser strata OF air. To the
naked eye, it seemed to be travelling
parallel 10 the earth's surface. It's ap-
parentiy slow motion can only be eX-
planned by its great distance from us, as
It very likely passed over Santa Fe, or
farther south. The length Of time Of
its burning Cnearly one-fourth minutel
would indicate its height to have been
between fifty and one hundred miles, .
height at which the atmosphere is very
rare, and. Of course, would uot burn out
as quickly as nearer the earth's surface,

CONSIDERABLE PROSPECTING
Carson The Scene OF Much
Prospecting.

On all sides of Carson the people
hat are interested in prospecting are
trying to uncover a property that will
not only help them financially but will
also help this section There is more
interest exhibited in the mining line
at present than at any time in years,
and if the metal is in the earth it will
be uncovered Several claims have
been found good enough to locate and
work is being performed on them.
The prospecting is not confined to
any one locality as ledge matter has
seen discovered in every corner OF the
country. The work at the Delaware
is probably the most important that
has yet been undertaken. as d mine OF
low grade ore is i'll sight. This prop
erty is now being worked by the

such manner as to have the recipro-
cal motion of the mill applied to it.
The two devices are connected to
each other by wires fastened in the
holes in ends of each arm. The mo-
ton of at the windmill tower is
therefore communicated to a on the
pump standard, which may be at any
distance from the windmill. The
holes in each device can be about
two feet apart. When wires are to
be run an extra long distance, or
over very uneven ground and other
obstacles, they are supported by
posts on which are bolted movable
arms similar to a or b. By using long
posts the wires can be raised out OF
the way.
Another excellent device is shown.
The crank or handle (c), on one end
the rod or the shaft takes the place
of the pump handle, while d, on the
other end of the shaft, receives the
motion from the mill. The rod on
which these two contrivances are
placed can be of almost any length.
Where it is not possible to run it di-
rect from the mill to the pump, it can
be Joined by means of universal
Joint, and run around or over any OBJ
stacle. This joint is shown at e, and
consists of two shafts or arms, each
terminating in a semicircle, and con-
nected by means of cross upon
which each semicircle is hinged.
When one shaft is turned, either to
the right or left, the other shaft
turns in the same direction. Any
good blacksmith will be able to make
it. The material used in the rod con-
Meeting pump to mill can be either
one-half or one-inch iron, or common
inch gas pipe.-Farm and Home.

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
Legs of the Hog Perform the rune
ton of Discharge Pipes for ALI
Sorts of Waste Matter.

The hogs legs perform function
not known to any other animal and
that is an escape pipe or pipes Tor the
discharge of waste matter or sweat
not used in the economy OF the body.
These escape pipes are situated upon
the inside of the legs, above and below
the knees in the fore lgs and above
the gamble joints in the hind legs, but
in the latter they are very small, and
the functions are light. Upon the in
side of the fore legs they are always
active. so that moisture is always
there about and below these orifices
or ducts in the healthy hog. The holes
in the legs and breathing in the hog
are his principal and only means of
eiecting an excess of heat above nor
NAL, and when very warm the hog
will open the mouth and breathe
through that channel as well as the
nostrils.
The horse can perspire through all
the pores of it's body, same as man,
and cattle do the same to limited eX-
tent, but the hog never. His escape
valves are confined to the orifices upon
the inside of his legs. People often
wonder why it is that the hog dies so
suddenly when he runs rapidly or
takes quick and violent exercise by
fighting. But when you consider the
few escape pipes, their small capacity
and remoteness from the cavity where
the heat is generated, the wonder is
that he does not die quickly when oyer
heated. Swineherd.

HANDY ARRANGEMENT
How to Operate . Pump by Wind
Power Where Pump Is Some Dis
lance from Mill,

1t often happens one wishes to OPP
crate pump by wind power when
the pump is at distance from the
windmill. Sometimes the pump is at
the foot of hill, while the mill must
be placed at the top, or two pumps
could often be worked by one wind
mill If there was any way of trans
hitting motion from one to the
other. 1t is matter of little trouble
and expense to construct an arrange
ment for this purpose. Get a black
smith to make a device shown at a,
which is to take the place of the
usual pump handle. The device (b),
which is somewhat similar to a, is
bolted on a post at the windmill in
