This ( 1 bulletin has been issued by both of the r expeiiment stations named and can 1 doubtlessbe had by addressing either [ Prof. Morgau at Knoxville, or Prof. W. It. Dodson, director of the experi ment station at Baton ltouge. | Texas fever has bteu the bane of s the cattle industry in the south, and , ; has done more to prevent the development or beef production and dairying 1 iu that section than all other n?n?ps combined. Prof. Morgan, by a care- t 1 ful and patient study of the habits & and life history of the tick which coni veys this disease from one animal to another, has been able to work out an , entirely praotieale method of ridding a 1 farm of th(se ticks- The method is J exceediuely simple aud inexoensive and can be practiced on practically c any farm in the south. It is to be hoped that farmeis throughout the south will take advautage of the ? I knowledge J'rof. Morgau gives them. * \V. J. Bpillman, Agrtcultrlst. U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Price Paid For a Parasol by the Foande* of Monte Carlo. M. Blanc, the foundor of the casino at Monte Carlo, wns ver7 eecontric. He wns never known to piny at the tables except on one occasion, and then It was a somewhat costly experience. While on a visit to the Wiesbaden casino with Mine. Blnnc ho was in tho habit of accompanying her on a morning stroll tach day. During one of these walks jiadame complained of the heat of the sun and requested her husband to buy her a parasol. Accordingly the two entered a shop, where modumo selected a very , pretty article, worth 80 francs?about ?3 4s?which M. Blanc, with a scowl and a muttered grumble, paid. When the casino opened -it noon, great was tho astonishment of tho croupiers and visitors to see M. Blanc place 2 louis on the red at one of the trente et quarante tables. The attendants hastened to get him a chair, but this he declined, &aying he was only going to remain a few minutes. When the cards were denlt, he won, and, taking up his winnings, left the original stake on the table. For a second time he won, and had now got back tho price &f the umbrella. But not content, he ventured another 2 louis, which this time be lost. Somewhat annoyed at this, the founder of the place doubled the 6take, and won, thus getting back the cost of the ambrella again. Determined, however, to regain his 2 louis, he staked it again, only to see it raked in by the bank. Thus ho kept an winning and losing, but never able to recover the 2 louis, till at last he founll himself 25 louis out, all tho gold his pocketbook contained. A thousand franc note L- I 1 1-1-1 1 -1 J 11 uu nuu was qiuumy unanguu aim swallowed up. Then, becoming exasperated, he lashed his check for a largo sum, nnd, sitting d^wn, commenced the battle in carnest. Hour after hour passed by, but M. Blanc, his eyes fixed on the treacherous pasteboards, never budged from his post. He kept on planking down heavy stakes until the last deal was declared, when, jalmly rising, he seized his yellow cane and mode hi6 way through the gaping onlookers into the open air. On reaching home he found Mine. Blanc playing "pationce" with a pack of cards, the offending parasol being on the table. "Madame," said the old gentleman, "do you know what that thing has cost me?" "Mais oui, mon ami. It oost you 80 francs." "Madame," rejoined he, "you are mistaken. I have just paid the bill? ?1,000 !ranos." Madame's sunshade had oost no les* than ?8,640.?London Mall. Velocity of Ocean Wave*. The velocity of waves is said to dopend primarily upon the power and continuance jf the wind, but it is greatly modified by ?nr! hpnra at> Asrprtnlnahln rfilatinn tn fchoir magnitude and the depth of tho water over which they travel. It has been jalculated by Airy that a wave 100 feet in breadth and in water 100 feet deep travels it the rate of about 15 miles an hour; one 1,000 feet broad and in water 1,000 feet 3eep at the rate of 48 miles; one of 10,000 feet in breadth and In water 10,000 feet Jeep will sweep forward with a velocity of sot less than 154 miles an hour. Bache jtated as one of the effects of an earthquake at Samoda, on the island of Nlphon, Ln Japan, that the harbor was first emptied sf water, and then came an enormous wave, which again receded and left the harbor dry. This ooourred several times. To evaporate water enough yearly from the ocean to cover the earth, on the average, 6 feet deep with precipitation, to iiransport it from one zone to another, to sause it to fall in the right places, at suitable times and ln the proportions due, is ane of the offices of the grand atmospherical machine. This water is evaporated principally from the torrid zone. Supposing it all to come thence, we shall have, anclroling the earth, a belt of ocean 3,000 miles in breadth, from which this atmos phere evaporates a layer of water annually 16 feet in depth. To hoist up as high as the olouds and lower down again all the water in a lake 16 feet deep, 8,000 miles aroad and 24,000 miles long is the yearly business of this invisible machinery. SVbat a powerful engine is the atmosphere!

Vandals Deceived at Mount Vernon. On the posts of one of the old beds in She mansion at Mount Vernon are small jlass knobs with socketsdrilled into them, which fit little spikes, but do not fasten >n. It is perfectly natural for visitors to place their hands upon the knobs, nnd Sho6e who do immediately perceive that ihuy can be taken off. The next step is to slip them quietly into the pocket and carry ;hem away as relics of the sacred place. Although an attendant is employed to watoh this room, there are so many visitors that it is Impossible for him to prevent iuch pilfering, and the glass knobs have ;o be replaoed two or three times a week luring the busy season, but that costs very little trouble and expense. A factory near Pittsburg turns them out for 80 cents a jroGs, and Mr. Dodge is in the habit of )rdering a barrel of them -avery spring. There are several thousand of these glass Snobs scattered over the world, in museums and private collections of mementos ind historical relics.
