A DIKE PEST OF RABBITS.
VAST SWARMS OF THE RODENTS
OVERRUN NEW ZEALAND.
Hunted For Their Fur and Slaugh
tered by Millions by the Farmers,
They Still Keep on Increasing.
DESCRIBING tho rabbit pest
of New Zealand, a writer in
the Dry Goods Economist
U says : As tbo incroaso of rab
bits proceeded tbo crops were laid
under contributions by their raven
ous teeth. The farms wero stripped
of their grain, and the holds became
barren squares on tho plains. Tho
colony was besieged by a pest too nu
merous to be handled. Tho colonists
saw that if the rabbits did not leave,
tho people would have to go. They
assembled together to devise relief.
Their difficulties wore too diversified
for individual management.
Parliament was petitioned to take
cognizance of the situation and intro
duce redress. It took cognizance and
panacens were suggested. Forces were
>ent against tho invaders, armed to
;he teeth, and ordered to breathe
daughter and play havoc promiscu
ously. Canines were engaged and traps
were employed. Mounted horses were
cavorting over the plains achieving
victories.
Although tho plains were carpeted
with dead and the hills covered with
dying bunnies no shrinkage among the
living animals was perceptible. Their
powers of reappearance were equal to
their disappearance. Killing had as
much influence on their numbers
as plasters have 011 flies in the summer
time. Fresh arrivals took the places
of those leaving by physical exits.
Rewards were offered for improve
ments in the process of extermination.
Lead was found too slow to supply de
mands. Various schemes were tested.
It was discovered that the most con
venient channels to reach tho systems
of the animals would bo down their
throats. It was decided to communi
cate with their vitals through their
stomachs, and to open up results
among their bodies by poison. Graiu
well soaked with phosphorous was
scattered over tho hills and piains.
The animals enjoyed the hospitalities
of the colonists for a few miuutes;
then turned over 011 their sides uud
closed their accounts.
Poison was found more powerful
than all hostile aggressions. It was
kept well scattered over the provinces
infested, and the dissolution of rab
bits was greatly assisted. Hence the
large increase in tho exportation of
rabbit skins. Rabbit hunting became
a national sport in New Zealand. It
is one of the popular diversions at the
antipodes. It takes tbo place among
the colonists of the fox chase in the
old country. The number of animals
brings the range of the sport within
convenient access, and tho large area
infested render search for the bunnies
unnecessary.
Tho writer, while recently explor
ing the islands, joined in the colonial
pastime of rabbit hunting, and in
dulged in frequent drives after the
animals. The prairies south of the
province of Otazo wero the favorite
huutiug grounds, as there the rabbits
were found in the largest numbers.
Early moruiug would find our horses,
guns and dogs ready for tho chase.
The rabbits ure early risers and were
rarely taken by surprise. Daybreak
would find them hopping over the
land in quest of breakfast. They roam
in such vast legions that the earth in
the neighborhood is kept denuded of
vegetation, and supplies for their
meals are not always handy or easy of
uccesH.
They have discovered that it is the
early animals which "get the worms,"
and they are astir by dawn. Bo ac
customed are they to tho hunter's
raids that many hare never enjoyed a
good night's rest. The activity used
to keep from the clutches of pursuers
reduces their flesh and decreases their
weight; as a result, many of tho ani
mals are leau and not in immediutc
demand for the table. After being
housed and fed for some days after
capture they are iu good condition
and fit for market. But their flesh is
so common iu Now Zealand that it is
in but little demand for diet. The
most pronounced devotees to animal
flesh soon tire of rabbits as an article
of food, and wish a ehauge.
The decimation of the animals by
the chase forms a small proportion of
the destruction otherwise accom
plished. If their decrease was left to
most of the hunters the grain farms
of South Island would be a desert.
The favorite method of catching the
animals is by the use of wire screens.
The screens are stretched over the
prairie for miles like the prongs of a
compass. The barricades extend open
liko the front of a fan, but recede
into a point in the rear; tho narrow
inclosuru contracts into a lane, and
finally leads into an open pen through
a gate.
The hunters surrounds the rabbits,
and from strategic points charge on
the bunnies. A liberal supply of
the dogs, reports from the
guns and yells from the horsemen
produce a panic among tho rabbits;
they take to their heels iu disastrous
rout, and iu the wild stampede the
riders direct their canines with such
skill that tho rabbits aro headed
toward the wire screens. The herds
are driven into tbo opeu jaws of the
ambuscade and hurried by tens of
thousands down the narrow lane.
The arrivals are not permitted to
pause or retreat, and to scatter is then
impossible. They are kept in motion
until they pass through the gate into
the open pen awaiting their advent.
The gate is then closed and the ani
mals are prisoners of war. To escape
is not possible, as the wires of the pen
extend six inches into the earth, and
burrowing underneath is thereby pre
vented. Acres on acres of dense
masses of rabbits aro then inclosed by
wires. Tho work of killing tho ani
mals is tho next and the larger under
taking.
Mallets, clubs and flails are used to
put tho creatures out of existence.
One blow of a club or mallet on the
skull of a rabbit generally stretches
him on his side. Rut well-directed
tlails descending on the backs of the
unimalß lay out hundreds more. The
skinning is tho next action. Many of
tho large ranches employ a private
force of hands to attend to the rab
bits. Some of the land companies en
gage 200 men to look after the aggres
sions and interests of the animals.
Tho hunters who following rabbit
killing as a business make $0 and 81
per day skinning the animals. Quito
a number of people daily and yearly
engage in this industry, and it is
found more remunerative and certain
to parties with small means than tho
I cultivation of crops.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Poisons are sometimes developed in
tho systems of sick peple.
Aluminum has been substituted for
steel in the manufacture of nails and
heel plates for the shoes of German
soldiers.
It is estimated by gardeners that in
the course of a season a frog or a toad
will devour fifty-seven times its weight
in insects.
Oil meal has twenty-eight per cent,
of protein or muscle forming food and
is an excellent addition to the feed of
young, growing animals.
Scientific research shows that meats,
fish, milk and other animal foods cost
three times more than flour and
other staple vegetable foods to get the
same nutritious result.
Zinc is being extracted in Sweden
by a new process, after tho electro
lytic manner, by which ores hitherto
considered worthlesss are made equal
to the best. Pure metallic zinc has
not been produced iu Sweden for
thirty years.
The well known attraction which
light has for fish ha 3 induced ingenious
fishermen to utilize the electric light
as a bait, and it is said that this never
fails to bring together large shoals of
fish, which swim round tho illuminat
ed globe, and are easily caught.
Scientists of Berlin think it will be
possible to foretell the weather by
means of photographs of the sun far
1 more accurately than by tho barome

are dark in tone and of large size.
Air can be frozen at a temperature
of 290 degrees below zero, and the
product, which can be handled and
felt, burns, so to speak, with its ex

SSOO a gallon, is likely to prevent u
large business.
The heat developed by the firing of
heavy guns is remarkable. During
some recent tests at Bandy Hook, N.
J., a gun that had been fired seventy
five times melted solder placed upon
the chase, while another was hot
enough to soften lead, indicating a
temperature of GOO degrees Fahren
heit.
Dr. James B. Young, of the Edin
burgh (Scotland) Royal Society, has
recently been making a chemical and
bacteriological examination of the soil
of graveyards. He has found that tho

the organic matter it contains from
ordinary soil.
Tho American Line steamship Paris
carries in reserve a 6pare length of
shafting made of nickel steel and hav
ing a tensile strength of 90,000
pounds. This is said to be about
twenty-five thousand greater than any
shaft of English or German make,
though both countries are famed for
the excellence of their steel.
Making Artificial Clouds.
Artificial clouds were recently made
for the protection of vino? from frost
at Oaeleuin, on the Swedish-Norwegian
frontier. In carrying out this novel
innovation, liquid tar was ignited in
tin boxes placed along tho vine rows,
and large sections of solidified petro
leum were tired at various places in
the vineyard. From these combusti
bles large clouds of smoke arose and
thoroughly protected tho particular
vineyard in which the experiment was
being tested, although vines iu the
immediate neighborhood were badly
injured by the frost. One of tho Eu
ropean metropolitan weeklies, in com
menting on the utility of the method,
spoke very unfavorably of it, declar
ing that it could only prove effective
in very calm weather. If tho editor
of that journal will brush up a little
on meteorology he will learn that culm
weather is about the only time in
which killing frosts occilr.—New York
Advertiser.
Cold Burns.
111 tho accidents which have at
tended tho manipulation of liquid air
and other substances in his laboratory
M. Raoul Pictet has distinguished two
degrees of burns from the intense
cold. Iu tho first the skin is red
dened, turning blue the next day.
The spot doubles in area on the fol
lowing days, there is intense itching,
and five or six weeks are usually re
quired for healing. In tho moro
severe burns, those of the second de
gree, the skin is rapidly detached. A
long and stubborn suppuration sets
in, and healing is very slow and al
together different from that of burns
from fire. On one occusiou M. Pic
tot, while suffering from a burn due
to a drop of liquid air, seriously
scorched the hand. The scorched
portiou was healed in ten or twelve
days, whereas the cold burn was still
i open six months afterward.
IN OLD OCEAN'S DEPTHS,
WONDERS AND MY3TERIES OF
LIFE BENEATH THE WAVES.
Where Fishes Carry Lanterns—An
Almost Unknown World Blazing
With Moving Lights.
IF tho ocean bed, which is popu
larly supposed to occupy three
fourths of tho world's surface,
4 should suddenly be laid bare we
should iu the main find a duplicate
of terrestial couditious. Tho bed of
tho present ocean lias at some time
been dry land ; has been cut by wind
and weather, washed into river bods
by streums; thrown up by volcanic
action into mountains, or elevated
and depressed by oscillations of the
crust. It has undergone all the
changes of the land with which we are
familiar, and iu a measure resembles
it.
To make the ocean bed a reality I
will ask the reader to imagine that lie
is equipped with a diver's armor capa
ble of resisting pressuro and accom
pany me into the deep sea. As we
descend into the blue depths we realize
that we have entered another world,
where to all intents and purposes the
water is the atmosphere. It" wo en
tered tho ocean oil tho Pacific coast
from tho beach wo would gradually
walk down an easy descent for many
miles; and the same is true of the
Atlantic. Almost immediately the
light fades, so that when at a depth
of 500 feet it is comparatively dark
and intensely cold. Deeper we
descend, tho sunlight gradually fail
ing, until at a depth of a quarter of a
mile the darkness is intense so far as
the sun is concerned.
11l shallow water we have passed
through tho region of abundant life.
Along the shore are schools of por
poises, immense whales that occasion
ally venture far below the surface,
and a number of air-breathing, fish
like animals that are kept near the
suri'aco by their structure and require
ments. Hero ure schools of Jtlish —
salmon and sardines; and passing is a
migrating herd of seals. Deeper we
pass and leave them behind, descend
ing to a depth of 1500 feet in darkness
profound. An electric light would
show a siugular change. Many of the
lish are of gay colors, and could we
whisk one to the surface its eyes
would bo popping from its head when
it arrived, from the sudden change.
Ktrango animals iuhabit this region,
and the deeper wo go the more re
markable they appear, and finally, at
a mile or so, they fairly compel our
admiration. Here aro scarlet scrimps;
crabs on stilt-like legs; others that
are blind ; more that carry their own
lights, for long ago we saw living
stars, moons and comets in this abys
mal region that serve a variety of
purposes in tho economy of nature.
Everywhere there is life.
Descending into deeper depths we
still tiad life. Many of the fishes are
blind; nearly all have phosphorescent
lights, and their shapes and forms are
strange and uncanny. Sunlight does
uot reach below 1000 fathoms; beyond
this no plant life exists, and the
various forms of life prey upon one
another. Among the deep-sea fishes
especially there is constant warfare.
Assuming that we aro walking on
tho ocean bottom at tho depth of over
a mile, wc move cautiously along in
water icy cold, and suddenly aro con
fronted with a blaze of light, and find
ourselves in a field of lightgivers.
Imagine a cornfield with stalks from
two to four feet in height, the tips
gleaming with light and waving gently
to and fro. Such an appearance the
fields of unibellularia present. (11l
St. Vincent tho Challenger dredged in
a field of light-giving gorgonias with
stems about two feet long. Tho trawl
cmno up choked with thorn from a
region a mile below tho surface, each
ouo emitting a vivid lilac-colored
light.
Above this forest of living lights
strange and weird fishes aro passing,
which we recognize as forms that have
been dredged from great depths by
tho Albatross, Challenger and others.
One, the Chiasmodon, dashes by,
emitting a light from its own body;
and, wonder of wonders; wo see it
seize a fish five times its own bulk and
draw itself over it like a glove. Its
jaws, by a special arraugomeiit, sepa
rate, and the mouth is a cavern of
india-rubber-liko possibilities. A
similar fish, M&l&oosteus, is of a rich
black velvet hue, and as it poises we
see upon its head two large lights.
Ouo emits a golden light, tho other
throws out fitful greou rays, which
have somo hidden meaning in the
economy of nature. Some of the
fishes seem to be literal mouths. Such
is tho Curvpharynx or pelican fish.
Tho mouth is enormous, the bones of
the jaw being attached to the skull by
movable joints, so that it has enor
mous powers of distonsiou.
A curious black fish called Eehios
toma has its lanterns arranged about
its head ; two are just below the eyes,
while there are several others at var
ious portions of the head. At the
depth of two miles we find the fish
Bytkites, and at three miles we shall
find others moro remarkable. A hid*
eous snake-like creature is Stomias,
with pointed teeth and a row of lights
along its ventral surface like the
lights that aro seen in a dark night in
the car window as the train dashes
along. This fish has been taken from
a milo and a quarter beneath the sur
face by an English dredger.
Beneath our feet aro forms equally
weird, the bottom blazing with light
at every step. Here are phosporos
cent crabs, and seafaus that emit gold
en, green and lilac hues. Blue scintil
lations come from sea-pens, while
others give out gleams of gold and
greeu. Almost every animal if a light
giver. Some of the crabs aro pkos
porescent over the entire surface;
others have their lights on stalked
eyes, whilo tlio very mini that rises
seems to scintillate with light that
would appear to bo an essential fea
ture of the deep sea. We might in
this walk of tho imagination descend
to a depth of six miles beneath the sea
and still find life.
In all probability tho largest and
most remarkablo fishes have not been
seen, and escapes tho dredge. Many
of these strango forms of the abyssal
depths are types of extinct forms, and
we can only imagine what wonders the
deej) sea hides. In the Atlantic and
Pacific gigantic squids from fifty to
seventy feet in length are found, and
glimpses of strange snake or eel-like
charks arc suggestive of the uncaught
mysteries and unseen dwellers in tho
deep sea. Among tho curious light
givers is a shark which wn.3 caught by
Dr. Bennett. It was perfectly black,
but emitted a strange phosphorescent
light, which remained some time after
tho animal's death. Tho shark was
placed in a jar in the cabin of the
vessel, and is described as presenting
a ghostly appearance, emitting n rich
green light almost sufficient to read by.
In descending into the intermediate
depths the jelly fishes and l'orms that
live in tho open water attract our at
tention. Here is a jelly fish, its disk
six feet across its train of tentacles
possibly emitting a vivid light and
stretching awav in a maze of brilliant
lines for perhaps one hundred feet.
The variety of tints and colors
omitted by the jelly fishes is almost
beyond comprehension, and fo di
verse are tho lights that tho belief is
forced upon tho beholder that they
have some marked significance in the
economy of nature. One known as
lucernaria emits a pale bluish light
all over its surface. Obelia lias a
luminous stem alone. Cestus, or tho
Girdle of Venus, has a yellow light.
Idvia emits roseate hues, while the
light of Aurcliu is of such a brilliant
yellow that when oue of tho animals
was squeezed into a glass of milk the
latter was rendered so luminous that
a letter was read by it.
From these instances, and they aro
but a few in many, it is evident that
the stroller through the ocean, either
in tho moderate depths at night or
the abyssal realms of day, would not
not wander about blindly, bat would
have his pathway illumined by lights
effective and brilliant, rendering the
deepest ocean a region the opposite
of the conditions of stygian darkness
that it is erroneously supposed to
hold.--Washington Star.

THE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.
Concentrated thought, continued in. robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this i 3
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse-power work something is
going to break. Very often the hard
worked man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt" his food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and " ready
to break," because they do not get the
nourishment tliey require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes I)r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The " Pellets " are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and sloth fulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the "Medical Discovery"
should he taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. It has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up and
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
—but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi
gestion. dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

Your Discovery has (lone so much for
! me lam only too glad to tell everybody
\ about my case.
When I began taking it. one year ago
! last July, J had DYSPEPSIA in its
worst form. / teas constipated, so much
i so as to always use injections, and I had
i a constant PAIN in my STOMACH
: and LEFT SIDE. My knees were stiff,
! and 1 could not sit down on a stool or
! get down to Jix anything on the floor.
I But now I can sit. or get down on my
| knees, or do anything in my garden. I
, feel like a new person. You must know
J was discouraged, as I hare lost two
1 sisters and an older brother with
I STOM. 167/ Til OUBL E. But I truly
believe if they had known of your
I remedies they would be well, as 1 am.
You can.fix up my letter to suit yourself,
only do publish it, that women may
1 know what the Discovery has done for
1 me. Yours truly,
Mrs. MA BY C. AYRES.
