Center of Lamb-Raisinq Industry.

SenIeT OF Lamp-halSinq INDUSTRY.
Greeley, Colo, is becoming almost
as noted for it's lamb, as for it's po-
tato industry. Shipments of young
lambs from Greeley to Eastern and
other markets, are now being made,
at the rate of from rs to 100 carloads
a week. The experiment of feeding
lambs during the winter months on
a food composed, in large part of
sugar-beet pulp, from. the many beet
sugar factories in that section of the
State, has been proved success in
northern Colorado. Tens of thou
sands of sheep and lambs are now
being fed in that manner at Greeley,
FIT. Collins, Loveland and elsewhere,
in the region referred to.

Electricity and Magnetism.

1t can be said with reasonable GER
tainty that electricity and magnetism
are states of disturbances in the uni
versal ether, although the exact kind
of disturbance can not yet be defined,
partly because the mechanism of the
ether itself must be sufficiently known
in order to differentiate its disturbed
conditions from its normal conditions.

Toronto, April 81. = Fire swept
through section of Toronto's whole
sale business district, causing loss
which will probably reach 500 lO, 900.
The fire started in factory in Well
ington street. In less than an hour
the flames had spread from building to
building on both sides of the street,
until the whole block was mass of
flames and the fire was utterly beyond
control of the local departments APP

famed the flames into a roar and
clouds of sparks and burning brands
were carried down side streets until
three entire blocks were doomed.
Chief Thompson of the fire depart
ment and George Dowkes of Montreal
were cut off by the flames while d.
recting the work of firemen from
roof. Thompson jumped six stories to
the ground and miraculously escaped
with broken leg. Dowkes has not
been seen since and it is believed he
persisted.
From the Currie warehouse on Well
ington street, where it originated, the
fire spread with astonishing rapidity
to the west and made clean sweep up
Wellington street to the Queens hotel
The thick fire walls of the hotel and
the concentrated efforts of the fire
fighters stopped the flames there, but
in the meantime the fire had swept
across the street and the block of
buildings from Bay street west to the
National club was wiped out.
Nothing could resist the force of the
flames as they swept down Bay-street
toward the lake, and the fremen fought
back the fire from side streets, confin-
ing the fire zone to the one thorough
fare wherever possible.
Several frame buildings which
threatened to cause spread of the fire
were blown up with dynamite.
