Sheep as Land Cleaners.

In discussing the value OF sheep on

like weeds and bushes even better for

shrubs will appear smooth shaVen

Dew as Drinking Water.

The English administration at Gibrai-
tar. where water is very scarce. col
lects dew by the following very sim
pie method A large pit is dug in the
earth and covered with dry wood or
straw. which in turn Is covered either
with earth or with sheet iron. The
straw or wood serves rs a heat In
sulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground 10
the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more rap
idly than the ground. so that its tenn
perature soon falls below the dew
point OF the surrounding air; hence
dew is formed upon the iron or the
LAYER of earth in very large quantities.
The water thus obtained is drained or
into reservoirs and after Qualification
is used for drinking.-Scientific Amer

through incredibly long imprisonments
after their dwellings have been over

Of Bcrgemoletto, In the Italian Alps,
and on April % three women were dug
out alive from q stable In which they
had been immured for thirty-seven
days IN the dark beneath the mass OF
snow which lay forty-two feet higher
than the roof. With them had been
buried a little boy. six goats. donkey
and some hens.
The child, the donkey and the fowls
soon died, but the goats helped the
women to survive. their milk supple

the pocketful Of chestnuts upon which
they depended for food. Hope or ind
ing the women alive had been aban-
