Chicago, May 2o.-Assertions that
the state Of Kansas has never before
had such a disastrous visitation of the
Hessian fly as at present gave firm

Detailed reports tending to prove that
the assertions of unprecedented loss

increasing. Opening prices. which
ranged from 4 off to Il up, with July
at l-11B to LIPS. and September at
1.121a to 1.12A. were followed by a
moderate general advance.
A sharp setback took place in the
last hour as result of heavy selling
by leading house. The close was I'M

RABBIT BREEDING URGED.
Germans Want Animals Raised For
Leather Purposes.

Berlin. May 20.-The Prussian min
istry for agriculture. domains and for
ests has issued an appeal to all the
agricultural associations and organfza-
tons In Sigmaringep urging that spe-
ciaI attention be paid in the coming
months TO the breeding OF tame rabbits
in order that as many skins as possible
may be obtained for leather purposes,
and that the fat Of the little animals
may be available.
Already in Berlin there has been es-
tablished Company For Making Use
Of Skins, Inc to which any one may
send his bunny skins. The desira bility
Of raising the animals in7numbers is
enhanced by the fact that they require
little or no food that human beings
need. and yet can in part be fed with
scraps that otherwise would go to
waste The appeal says that oils and
fats obtainable from rabbits are al
ready very scarce, probably will be-
come more so. and will probably be
short for period long after the war.

Facts About Winds.

In meteorological terms a strong
wind is anything from twenty four to
thirty-seven miles an hour; a gale
from thirty eight to fifty-flve miles,
and storm from fifty six to seventy
five miles. Beyond that 1t may be de-
scribed as a hurricane. 5. In. tho con-
vulsion which destroyed the /Tay
bridge in December. 1879. the
thermometer registered gusts Of wind
which exceeded 100 miles an hour
The connection between the velocity
and the pressure Of the wind is not We,
known with absolute certainty. but
roughly speaking (wind of forty miles)
produces pressure Of eight pounds tc
the square foot and 1fty-one miles q
pressure of thirteen pounds. The
British association COMMITTEES on wind
pressure have recorded cases Of eigh,
to ninety pounds to the square foot.
