Change in Southern Methods. The enforced economy of the last two years has caused a complete change in Southern farm methods and the credit system is being superseded by a cash basis. The low price of cotton for the last few years forced upon farmers the necessity of raising their own food stuffs, and'added to this was the decision of bankers and factors to advance much less money on cotton than formerly. The result has been a change that for the time being, while passing irom me creuit bjmvuj, ?im its liberal buying, to a cash system, requiring the olosest economy, there has been less trade with farmers, and hence a decreased volume of general business in the South. But this has brought about a more eolid condition of the business in farm trade throughout the South than we have had for many years. Merchants are carrying small stocks and buying only as needed. Farmers are paying off their debts to such an extent that, without exception, letters from bankers Bay that the farmers are less in debt than for years. The money that formerly went North and West for provisions and grain has been retained at home, and the full result is that this section is probably less in debt to its own banks and less in debt to the North and West for supplies than in any year since the war ended.?New York World. Most Destructive of Weapons. The reply to this question naturally divides itself into weapons which have been tried in actual warfare, and those whose powers have only been tested by experiment. Of the former the distinction would be about equally divided between the torpedo and the machine-gun. In the Chilean war the Blanca Encalada, struck by one torpedo, went down in a few minutes with 400 men on board. The same war proved that no living creature can remain in an exposed position within the range of machinegun fire for more than a few minutes, and this conclusion is accepted by all authorities. . In the second category the palm must be given to M. Turpin's new "war machine," which is a light calibre machine-gun, manipulated by four men and drawn on a carriage by two horses. It will project a.hail of 25,000 missiles every fifteen seconds at a range of nearly three miles, over a space measuring 160 yards each way. ?Yankee Blade. A Safe, Sound Trust.

CHASING NIMBLE WILD ANIMAL IN FAR OFF AUSTRALIA: Horses and Dogs Have to Travi Pretty Fast to Overtake Them ?Their Powerful Hind Legs ?Kangaroo Hide. ny r|0 one can imagii 4E?f\ n\ 1 anything much moi 1\\\ exciting than a kai i-i garoo hunt. To be sure, it hi not the element < ihTw' extreme danger th? goes with a lion or tiger hunt, nor it in that respect to be compared wit elephant hunting or the hunt ft grizzly bears. But there is so muc more of the kangaroo chase, and it i usually over or through such dangei ous ground and at 6uch a speed, th? it affords quite as much excitement i any other form of sport. One day, on the hot plains ( Queensland, a party of us surprised pack of perhaps a dozen kangaroc feeding in the open. Having selecte a big seven footer, an "old man," i the natives call them, by skillfi management, which the profession) hunters well understand, .we got hii off on a track by himself. It at one became apparent that neither dog nor horses had any chance whatevt of overtaking him for the first fe miles, and that it was simply to be case of endurance and long wind. When the day oomes that the kai garoo shall have been sufficientl tamed to make it possible to have kai garoo races on our tracks, the mil record will be put where no horse c bicyclist can ever hope to reach i' Only the ostrich, of all the animi yA Mm . ^ J KANGAROOS 8E3 world, is possibly swifter. I firml believe that on a single mile stretc along a railroad track, if it were so tu ranged that the kangaroo could nc leave the track, a locomotive woul have to considerably exceed the rat of a mile a minnte to overtake th animal. The expression, "enough to make horse langh," applies excellently to kangaroo at full speed. The jum into the air is quite high, often six c eight feet, as it must be to cove such immense distances as are possib] to them. Fifteen to twenty feet is a average jump, but a thirty-four foe jump has been actually measured. Our kangaroo made for the firi cover it Baw, and, however dense tl brush or low hanging the branches c the trees, managed to rush along nea] ly as fast as in the open. Of court the leaps in such a place were not ? long, perhaps hardly ten feet eacl bat they were more frequent, and tl speed remained remarkable. One who has not ridden at hig speed through such places can hardl picture the intense nervous strain r< suiting from dodging a limb here < barely escaping a tree trunk then with innumerable switches and sma , ,, CJ' DOG AGAINST KANGAROO. ?branches beating in the face ai across the hands. The horse becom entirely oblivious of the rider on h back, and follows the hounds wher ever he finds space for his own bod; If the low hanging limb be sufficient high to escape hi6 back he forgets tl danger to the rider, or in turning 6harp comer around a tree thin! nothing of the peril of breaking rider's leg. However, we soon found that cov hunting, while most trying to a hu ter, was even worse for the hunte and that his speed was evident 6iackinpr, the more rapid, short jumps and the tree dodging having b gun to tell on the "old man." It is seldom that a kangaroo givi up in cover; they usually take to tl open, where they can have full swii for all four legs in the final fight wil the dogs. In our case this was a qui< and sharp affair. The first two of tl poor hounds received blows from tl powerful hind legs of the kangaroo which killed outright and another was mortally wounded. These death dealing blows were given by hugging the dogs closely with the short forelegs and ripping them el with the large, sharp middle claw of one hind leg, while the other leg and the tail afforded a firm base on which to sit upright. But our pack, sufficiently large to aflorcl sucn a lose as tnis soon Drougui. Je their worn-out prey to the ground by :e their superior numbers and combined weight. He proved to be a veritable grandfather of the flock, quite seven 18 and one-half feet tall. 5 Kangaroo hide is now a valuable ar* ticle in the leather market, and the 18 hunters try to be in at the death to prevent the dogs from too greatly ? mutilating the skin. Although every part of the flesh is 18 good eating, little but the tail is saved r" for that purpose, as the body and legs are nearly all bone and tough muscle. 18 ?Detroit Free Press. >f a German Soldiers on Snowshoes. >s The young German Emperor is ind defatigable in his hunt for everything is that is novel or can be turned to acil count for his pet hobby, the perfecil tion of the German Army.

An Electric Probe For Bullets. The development of electrical science in recent years has done nmch to revolutionize medical and surgical methods. It will therefore not surprise many people to learn that it has stepped in to supplant the Nslaton nrobe. But it will surprise even elec A ? ELECTRIC BULLET KELATON PROBE. PEOBE. trical men to learn of the absolute uniqueness of the method by which this has been accomplished. The Nelaton probe was named after the great French surgeon who invented it. He was called in to treat GariKftlrlv ix/ho had a bullet in his body. Nelaton -was unable to locate it and the Italian patriot's life was despaired of. Nelaton Bat np one whole night thinking. It finally occurred to him to use an ordinary probe with a smooth, round piece of porcelain on the end. By insertingitin the wound he hoped to get lead markings on the white piece of porcelain, showing where the bullet lay. To think was to act, and on the next day the experiment wae tried. Sure enough, when the probe was inserted and removed lead markings were found on the bulb of the probe. The bullet was located and Garibaldi was saved. The discovery by Dr. John H. Girdner, of this city, was almost as* dramatic as that of the Nelaton proba. Dr. Girdner had tried for years to devise some surer means of locating bullets than was possible with the ordinary probe. Some years ago somebody had invented an electric bullet probe, which depended on a battery-cell to supply the current. But the trouble was that as soon as the end of the probe was inserted in the lle9Q an electric circuit would be established through the flesh itself, and the electric bell would ring. So it was not known whether a bullet had been touched or not. One night it occurred to Dr. Girdner that the body itself might contain enough of a current to operate a bell or a telephone receiver. Experiment proved the fact and the difficulty was overcome. The principle of the instrument is as follows: The metal bulb is placed in the wounded person's mouth, the telephone receiver is held to the surgeon's ear and the probe is inserted in the hole made by the bullet. The bulb in the mouth and the probe are made of the same metal, copper being preferred ; and because they are the same no manifestation is heard in the telephone. But as soon as the leaden bullet is touched it brings another metal into the circuit. The human body then immediately becomes one immense cell, which generates a current strong enough t:> operate the telephone, so that as soon as the bullet is touciieu a ClJUii its ucuu iu BUi, phone, and the location of the bullet is established beyond a doubt. ?New York World. General Wallace's Romance. The long and happy wedded life of General Lew Wallace is, it seems, founded upon a pfetty romance. He was but nineteen years old when serving his country in the Mexican War. A comrade talked much of a certain Susan Elston, who lived in his home town, Crawfordsville, Iud., and young Lieutenant Wallace, in consequence, became enamored of a girl whom he never seen. As soon as he left Mexico he journeyed to Crawfordsville, made Miss Elston's acquaintance, and three years later they were married. Mrs. Wallace is described as slight and of medium height, with regular features and beautiful brown hair, which is now tinged with gray. She has been all her life an omnivorous reader, and at her best is a brilliant and witty conwr nati nn alist. A Cheap Icehouse.

Perhaps the greatest refrigerator in the world is that in the Royal Institution, London, where Professor Dewar has been giving his lectures to young people. The professor has been showing the youngsters some wonderful things, among others liquefied air. To produce liquefied air you must have a temperature of something like 340 degrees below zero, which ought to be cold enough for even the polar bears at the Zoo. One sharp youngster asked the professor what it cost to liquefy air, but the professor apparently was afraid to answer him, al though the cost has not been defrayed by the institution itself, but by seme j generous friends of 'science. Tremendous exhausting engines and massive air-compressing machines are used. The color of liquid air is a pale blue, and when a drop of it is put on the surface of water, it dances around like a drop of water on a red-hot iron, because the surface of the water is much hotter than red-hot iron compared to the temperature of the liquefied air. Finally, the drop of air freezes a little cup of ice in the water, but it soon evaporates, as the ice is sd hot that it causes the drop to boil. Liquid air is not a handy thing to carry around in the vest pocket. If will remain liquid for forty hours i? great precautions are taken. It musl be put in a hermetically sealed bottle, which is inclosed in another vessel, sc that the air surrounding the innej bottle is completely exhausted; tht inner vessel must also have a coating of mercury around it to form a mirror, so that any radiant heat will be re fleeted back. Oxygen, when liquified seems to lose all its properties of jjro moting combustion. At such a tern perature as 350 degrees below zero all chemical action seems to stop; it is a "freeze out," as it might be termed. If phosphorous is putin liquid oxygen it will not burn.
