OCHOCO REVIEW. MOTHER-OF-PEARL FISHING. PJUKIVILLX, OfiXGOV. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. There are 2,000,000 mon ensngod In tlie buiUnng triulca in the United States. Recently a Buffalo canning com pany put up bb.OOO cans of corn, to matoes, and plums, tho heaviest day's ork in that lino am record. Over five hundred persons are employed in the canning industry of that city. The theory that the banks of New fouadland were formed by deposits from floating icebergs is rejected by Messrs. Rabot and Thonlet, two French ppographers, who have been studying tho subject of the transportation of solid matter by icebergs. Mr. (. N. Potanin, who has recontly returned to St. Petersburg after three years' exploration in Mongolia, in the course of which he crossed the Desert of Gobi, was accompanied on the expedi tion by his wife. Ho brought homo fifteen thousand specimens of insects. The manufacture of ottar of roses Is proposed as a new California indusr try. An enterprising rose grower has made the perfume by boiling' roses and water in a tin can and preventing evap oration by cold water passing about the jar. The ottar of roses was found on v the top of the water in the jar. Boston Jludget. One of the largest belts in the country, and the largest solid belt in New England, has been manufactured by the Union Belt Company, of Fall River, Mass. The belt is four feet wide. of three thicknesses, 103 feet long, and weighs 1,200 pounds. The manufact urers were obliged to pick over 1,000 hides in order to get leather enough for its construction. Farmer and Manu facturer. The government of the province of Cordoba (Argentine Republic) has (established a meteorological service, of which Professor Oscar D.ering will be in charge. The new institute will be independent of the meteorological offico which was founded by Mr. Gould. The officers of telegraph and telephone stations will be obliged to make obser vations in conformity with the instruc lions. The work will be begun next year on forty stations. Public Opinion, It is well understood that a cold sensation reaches consciousness more rapidly than one of warmth. The ex act time required to perceive each has lately been measured by Dr. Gold scheider, of Berlin. Contact with a cold point was felt on the face after 13.5, on the arm after 18, on the abdo men after 22, and on the knee after 25 hundredths of a second. From a hot point the sensation was felt on the same surfaces after 19, 27, 26 and 79 hundredths of a second respectively. Tins great time difference has an in jKirtact bearing on the theory of skin sensations. Arkansaw Traveler. Some remarkable atmospheric bub bles seen at Remenham, England, were described by Rev. A. Bonney at a meet- tngof the Royal Meteorological Society. Small air bubbles are not infrequently observed in hot weather, but these were seen rising from the snow in Jan tiary and were of the same size and shape as the toy balloons so commonly sold on city streets. They "rose to a considerable height and then began to move up and down within a limited area, and at equal distances from each other, some ascending and some de scending. The first flight lasted about two minutes, when it was followed by another of similar character. All the babbles floated off in an easterly direc tion. N. Y. Ledger. One of the Mont Interesting; Industries l'linuied by th lledoiiliia. Mother-of-pearl fishing is carried on all over the Red Sea, from the north down to the Gulf of Aden, but the best fishing-grounds are in the neighbor hood of Suakiu, Massownh and the Farsan Islands. The felling Hoot con sists of about throe hundred boats, mostly belonging to the Zobeild Be douins, a tribe inhabiting tho coast be tween Jeddah and Yanibo. About fifty belong to Jeddah, and others to other localities. .. They are open boats, of from eight to twenty tons burden, with one lateen sail. The crew varies from eight to twelve men. There are two different fishing seasons, one of four and tho other of eight months, and during these the boats remain almost constantly at sea, except for a few weeks. The crew, consisting in great part of black slaves, receives two thirds of the catch, deductions being made for their food; tho owners of the boat keep the other third. Accidents are seldom heard of, and divers arc remarkable for their physical vigor and robust health. They range in age between ten and forty, and the work seems to do them no harm. The fishing grounds are in the neighborhood of coral reefs, where the boats are anchored; tho di vers then go out in small canoes, spe cially imported from the Malabar coast for the purpose, and begin their work all round. It is necessary that the sea should bo calm, otherwise the shells can not be seen. For somo years past the negroes have been in the habit of using old tin canisters, with glass in the bottom, to enable them to see bet ter. In the course of tho past ten years the catch has fallen ten to twenty per cent., but by reason of tho in creased price, good and bad shells have met with a ready sale. Tho annual production varies from $120,000 to 170,000. During the last season of four months it reached onlv $25,000, against 40,000 to 50,000 iii the cor responding periods of other years. Jeddah was formerly tho solo market, but on account of the corruption of the customs officials there tho port only re ceives about a quarter of the catch now, the rest going to Suakin and Massowah. Pearls to the value of 4,000 to o,000 are found annually; but this estimate is uncertain, as the larger and more valuable ones are sold secretly. The mother-of-pearl shells are sold at public auction in Jeddah in lots of about fifty pounds. Ten years ago all that came on the market at Jeddah was shipped off in Arab vessels to Suez, whence it was sent to Cairo, whTre it was sold. At present the greater part is sent to Trieste, the rest going to Havre and London. The largest and most perfect and beautiful shells are purchased by traders from Bethlehem, who take them home, and cut and sell them to pilgrims. Jeddah shells are less valued in Europe than those of Suakin and I Massowah, because of their yellow tinge. In an ordinary lot of shells, as sold in the market, nine per cent, will be large, twenty per cent, medium sized, twenty-five per cent, small medium, ten per cont. small, twenty two percent, dead or cracked, and six percent, will consist of impurities and coralloid marble. Some years since a German attempted pearl-fishing with a fleet manned by Greeks, but as the ex periment was never renewed it is to be presumed that it was a failure. Vienna taper. STRANGE IMPULSES. NEW-FOUND CANNIBALS. RAILWAY SNOW SHEDS. Haw the Pacific Koails Prevent Their Tracks From Being Burled lTnder Snoir. Snow-sheds, to cover the railway track, have been built at points on the Central Pacific road where it crosses the Sierras. As the trains bound East leave Emigrant Gap they run through one continuous shed for thirty-nine miles. The purpose of the shed is to prevent the track from being buried tinder falling and drifting snow. Thev secure this end, but are themselves the occasion of great inconveniences, such as the noise, the loss of view and tho . confining of the smoke to the train There is nothing peculiar in tho con struction of these sheds which have to support only the burden of the snow. But on the line of the Canadian Pacific road, where tho road crosses the Rocky Mountains, sheds of a different con struction are needed. Before the road was completed, observations in the mountains showed that avalanches must be provided against. A single avalanche covered tho track for a dis tance of one thousand three hundred feet and to the depth of fifty feet. The result of these observations was that the company constructed f ur and a half miles of snow-sheds at an enor mous expense. The sheds are constructed as follows: On the high side of the mountain slope a timber crib tilled with stones is con structed. Along the entire length of the shed, and on the opposite side of the track, a timber trestle is erected, strong timber beams are laid from the - top of the crib-work to the top of the trestle, four feet apart, and at an angle representing the slope of tho mountain as nearly as possible. These are cov ered over with four-inch planking, and the beams are braced on either side from the trestle' and from the crib. The covering is placed at such a height as to give twenty-one feet headway from thu under side of the beam to the center of the track. The longest of these sheds is thirty-seven hundred feeU Youths Companion. Tribes in Africa Whose Members Are Fond of Human Flesh. Among recent discoveries in Africa none is more interesting than the new found facts relating to the prevalence of cannibalism in regions where its ex istence has not hitherto been suspected. It was not known, for instance, until Mr. Last returned travels in East Africa a few weeks ago. that at least one of the tribes between Lake Nyassa and the Indian ocean are as great can nibals as many of the people of tho Congo basin. Mr. Last is the explorer who was sent out by the Royal Geo graphical Society of London to solve several geographical problems in the region east of Lake Nyassa. Just a little south of Livingstone s route to Liike Nyassa Mr. Last found that cannibalism is practiced among the principal chiefs of the great Yao tribe. This is perhaps the largest tribe east of Nyassa. The practice of eating human flesh is carried on only in secret, and the leading men in the tribe, alone partake of these banijuets. Mr. Last was told, as an excellent joke on the Mohammedans, that a few of them from the coast had been inveigled into taking part in one or two of these horrid feasts in the belief that they were partaking of goat's flesh, of which the coast people are fond. Farther east, on the banks of the Lnkugu river, Mr. Last found the Maua tribe, who openly practice can nibalism. They kill slaves for food, and also eat the bodies of the enemies they slay in war. Oftentimes one of the villages privately determine to kill a certain person. They invite the vic tim to a public beer-drinking, and as soon as he is far gone with intoxication the chief gives the signal to the execu tioners and they at once seize the poor wretch and hurry him into the bush, where he is speared. Then the feast is prepared and tho entire village par takes of it. A drunken chief of this tribe told Mr. Last he would like to have his skull for a drinking-cup. If. Y.

CnnciHiuntnhl Action Committed by NeeniliiKly Sane Persons. A very unaccountable outrage Is re corded of Charles Matthews. He had lived for some days a very restless and Inactive lite. In this state of mind n party of gentlemen called upon him and proposed a day's excursion. "My husband's depressed spirits," says Mrs. Matthews, "were exhilarated by the beauty of the weather and the prospect of a day's pleasure in the open air. He had not ridden out of the city for some weeks, and was in a state of childish delight and excitement. At this moment his eyes turned on one of the party, a very little man, who was perched on a very tall horse, ami who seemed unusually grand and impor tant. Mr. Matthews looked at him for a moment, and tho next knocked him off with a smart blow, felling him to the ground. The whole party was struck with horror, but no one fell more shocked than he who had com mitted the outrage. He dismounted, picked up the little victim, nnd de clared himself unable to give any mo tive for the action, bit that it was an impulse he could not resist" A laborer in Paris returning home from his work one evening was seized with an unconquerable desire to run. Ho rushed upon the qnaytii! goes from tho Louvre to the" Giri.e.'oror- doming every obstacle. Many at tempts were made to stop him, but without success, and ho con tinued running, irresistibly im pelled, and yet desiring to stop, until ltd engaged one arm in a wheel of a carriage. Thus retained, ho re covered his breath and walked away us if nothing had happened. Ho was fre quently seized with this propensity to run, and was at length confined in the hospital, when it was discovered that he had a disease of the spinal marrow. One day a man rushed down to the parapet of the Pont Neuf and threw himself off' into the Seine. Some of the bystanders saw him and dragged him out. On being questioned as to his motive for acting in so strange a man ner he replied: "I can not give any ac count; I am in the happiest situation in the world; I have never been ill; I have no present troubles; nor, to my knowl edge, approaching ones. 1 can only recollect my arrival on the Pont Neuf and being dragged out of the water. A man, apparently in perfect health, was attacked with a sudden disposition to destroy. He took up a stick, and, without discrimination, broke every thing that presented itself before him. After a short time ho calmed down and appeared to be restored to himself. Ho knew nothing of what ho had done, and became much irritated when shown the remnants of the shattered articles. He was again seized with the same frenzy and committed a murder. A woman, who became afterward an inmate of a hospital, had a propensity to hack herself all over with any sharp instrument she could lay her hands on. It was not her purpose to kill herself. only she said she experienceuTli" fTrH'l nating pleasure whenever she succeeded in drawing blood. A lady going out to the East Indies was often heard to express a wish to experience the sensation of drowning. One morning, after gazing for some time into the water, she did actually jump overboard. Luckily for her, the vessel was lying becalmedand a dozen willing men jumped in to save her. The case is recorded by Tissot of a young woman in whom tho imitative faculty was so strongly developed that she could not avoid doing every thing she saw others do. Kabanis has an account of a man similarly disiiosed. and who "experienced insupportable suffering" if prevented from yielding to the impulse. A woman, who had an irresistible propensity to destroy, going into a room once while tea was being pre pared could not resist tho temptation to sweep the contents of the table on the floor. Chicago Nevis. AN INDIAN MILLIONAIRE, x Transplanting Trees. At whatever age or season trees are transplanted, success depends largely upon the manner in which the opera tion of raising the roots of the trees is performed. Somo people think thai if they get a good ball of soil with the root it is enough; but it all depends where the roots are. Trees that pro duce a bunch of roots will move with a small ball, because all tho roots are next to the stem; but in the great ma jority of trees tho roots spread out to a considerable distanbe, and mostly all tho fibrous or feeding roots are at the extremities, and hpw thgijun,st..rliu preserved. The object of liaSm soil to the roots is simply to preserve the small rootlets, and, if these could be had without the soil, it would answer almost ns well; only many roots are necessarily lost in digging the soil away in the transplanting. On large estates, where a nursery is provided, many trees of a few special kinds may be kept for filling up blanks; and if they are ono or two years previously root-pruned or dug around, they will lift without much cheek or injury. Farm, Field and Stockman. Matthias Nplltloa-anl the Itallruad He I ililllillnH- (lut West. Had any one predicted a quarter of a century ago that nil American Indian would build a railroad he would have been considered a lit object for a lunatic asylum. Hut to-day the people of New ton County. Mo., a county adjoining the Indian Territory, have witnessed a scene such as man lias never before be held. Matthias Splitlog, n half Cayuga and half Wyamlotte) Indian, born in an Indian village 111 Canada, at Neosho drove the first spike for the Kansas City, Fort Smith & Southern railway. This division of tho Kansas City, Fort Smith & Southern railway was chart ered the 8th of last March under the laws of the State of Missouri, with a capital of three million dollars, and now there are about thirty-live milos graded and ready for the iron. Mr. Splitlog lins furnished the "sinews of war" out of his own ample fortune, and Is hacked hy heavy capi talists to complete the load, and before the 1st of next January he will have the cars running from .Inplin, in Jasper County, to the town of Splitlog. in Mc Donald County, a distance of about thirty-five miles, and Mitthins Split log, the millionaire Indian, who is probably the richest man of his race, will thenceforth ho known all over the country as the only Indian railroad man (at least the first) In tho United States or in the whole world. Tho . occasion of driving the first spike on tho main line of this new road was a matter of inoro than ordinary in terrst to the people of Neosho. At 3:15 there were about ono thousand people assembled at the point wher the main line crosses the 'Frisco track After music by the Indian band from the Territory, and selections from tho Neosho band, Mr. Charles W. Smith auditor of the construction company held the spike in position, ami in four bold strokes Mr, Splitlog drovo tho spike home into a carefully seleetei wiute oak tie. nicer alter clieer was given for the road, Matthias Splitlog, Neosho and the enterprise, after which many came to the track to look at tho spike. Mr. Splitlog wielded the sledge with a familiarity ami precision which indicated that he had used his sledge with gooil effect when ho built his steamboat on the Detroit river. Mr. fqilitlog was born in the year 1H13, and when a hoy was apprenticed to n carpenter aim millwright, and, allliougli lus wages were onlv seven dollars per month, young Splitlog thought ho was getting rich. Ho im bibed a love for machinery and inven tions which has mado his life a useful and eventful one. In the year 184: voting Splitlog joined the Wvaii- dottes, who were tho hist of the Indian tribes then in Ohio. In 181:1 Splitlog came West with some of the tribe, and found, after his arrival at vVesfport landing, (now Kansas City), that ho only had fifty cents in his pocket. Ho induced an old Indian to go his security for the price of an axe. With this axe he cut coiil wood for the steamboats at twenty-five cents per cord, and, after paying for the axe, which cost two dol lars, ho soon saved euotigh to buy a pony. About tho year 18-16 lie married Eli.a Burnett, agranduioco of Harry Jacques, the old Indian who wont his security for the price of the axe. Her father was head chief of the VVyandottes when he uieit in i;i8. uor mother was a part Wyandotte and part Seneca In dian. They have a family of .five chil dren four sous and one daughter. Splitlog was never idle, and in most of his undertakings ho was successful. At an early day ho built a mill near Wyandotte, which was first run by horse-power and afterwards hy steam. Splitlog's mill was a success, and was long an old landmark near Wyandotte. He began to speculate in real estate, and, although he can neither read nor write, he has been one of the most suc cessful speculators In tho neighbor hood of Kansas City, and is to-day worth over a million dollars.
