A Crow T h a t Kept B ar.
Out in Monroe County, Miss., the
crows have lately made themselves
obnoxious by their persistent invasion
of the corn fields. A man who had
been hired to watch a particularly
promising field and inform these birds
that it was against the rule to piek up
any thing therein, bethought himself

upon the plan of soaking some corn in

A carload of a peculiar mineral ar
rived in this city a few days ago. It
was ozocerite, or mineral wax, and it
came from Utah. Until recently this
substance has not been known to exist
in any quantity except in Moldavia and
in Galicia. Austria. Three years ago,
however, a deposit of tho queer sub
stance was discovered on the line ol
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad,
about 114 miles east of Salt Lake City.
The mine is known to eover at least
150 acres, and over 1,000 tons per year
can now ha produced.
Ozocerite resembles crude beeswax in
appearance, and can be used for nearly
all purposes for which wax is em
ployed. It is now largely used in the
manufacture of waxed paper. It on-
enters into the composition of several
brands of shoo polish. Mixed with
paraffine, it produces an oxcollont
grade of candles. One of the largest
fields for the now material is tho in
sulation of elec ric wives. It is claimed
that ozocerite is preferable to any sub
stance previously employed for this
purpose. As tho mineral wax comes
out of the ground in condition to be
used without refining, unless it is re
quired for soinee special purpose, it is
much cheaper than the product of tho
honey bee. and is evidently destined to
be extensively used in the future.—
