The PropoKfd ('onvrralmi of the Milinru
Deacrt Into am.
from the Loudon Examiner.]
The proposed nieroiujj of tho Isth
mus of Suez ana the scheme of re
converting the Sahara into a sea. has
induced Dr. Reolam, the well-known
advocate of cremation, to write a
warning article in his periodical,
called Oesundheit (‘’Health. ) He
points to a remarkable change In the
climate of the Torres Straits,between
Australia and New Guinea, which in
1606 were only beset by twenty-six
coral islands, now augmented to one
hundred and sixty. The gradual de
viation of a warm current of sea
water, owing to this successive stop
ping up of the Torres passago, has
already wrought a great alteration
of the climate in those quarters.
Dr. Reclam apprehends a similar
danger for the European, and espe
cially the German, climate from the
deviation of the Gulf Stream after
the piercing of the Isthmus of Suez.
He says Europe owes its moderate
climate partly to the warm wßter
beating by the Gulf Stream, partly
to the hot air heating by the wind
from the African Desert. That hot
wind, known in Switzerland as the
Fohn, is a snow devourer and glacier
destroyer; without it, the sun and
the summer would not suffice to stop
the progress of glacier formation.
The ice period of Europe explains
itself by assuming that the Sahara
was then covered with sea water.
That ice period would return if the
Desert were reconverted into a lake.
Dr. Reclam, who is a friend of Fire,
has decidedly an objection to the ex
tension of the domain of Water.
The Indian campaign.
The Record asserts that detailed
descriptions of the recent conferences
and battles between Gen. Miles and
some of the hostile Indian chiefs, in
cluding Sitting Bull, fully confirm
the general statements forwarded by
telegraph and add some interesting
particulars. It is part of the story
that Gen. Miles approached the main
village of the hostile Indians, which
contained many of the same warriors
that had been attacked by Gen. Cus
ter, and that the Indian chiefs made
arrangements for repeating the tac
tics which had proved so fatal
against the Seventh Cavalry. But
our soldiers had profited by expe
rience, and it was a body of infantry
that now bore our flag; so they could
not have rushed upon their fate with
impetuous speed if they had been so
disposed. When a battle was ren
dered inevitable by the failure of a
conference to agree upon terms of
peace, this conference being attend
ed by the principal officers of the
army and the leading chiefs of the
hostile Indians, and held at a point
equidistant from the respective lines,
the first step taken by General Miles
was to guard his forces against sur
prise, and the Indians seem to have
concluded that he intended to act ex
clusively on the defensive. They
were soon undeceived, however, by a
gallant and successful advance, at
at all points, executed in a manner
that rendered the savage strat
egeras futile, A Rodman gun
materially increased the effective
ness of the opponents and the
completeness of the victory. The
Indians were compelled to flee in
such haste that they left behind a
large amount of their camp equi
page and several tons of dried buffa
lo meat. A still more important re
sult was the subsequent surrender of
several of the most important bands
that have hitherto followed Sitting
Bail’s fortunes. They have evident
ly become disheartened by his defeat,
and their principal chiefs have given
themselves up as hostages for the
faithfuljl compliance of their follow
ers with the terms exacted by the
Government. These results have
been achieved by an infantry force
of only 398 men, while the Indian
forces are variously estimated at
from 600 to 1,500 warriors, but it is
said that many of the latter failed or
declined to take.active part in the
late struggle. |
Mr. Scott’i FI jin * Machine.
The inventor of the flving machine,
Mr. Ralph Scott, who didn’t fly from
Dover to Calais, as he said he would,
is in Berlin showing his invention to
Bismarck and Von Moltke. The
whole arrangement consists of a
small, rather deep woolen gondola,
in the middle of which the machin
ery is fixed, which is to be nut in
motion by means of a wheel similar
to a ship steering wheel. The pres
sure of the spring, when the wheel
is in motion, is to be like 3,000
pounds in an upward, and equal to
1.600 pounds in a downward direc
tion. At each end of the gondola is
a seat for a passenger, and at one end
a second wheel for steering the appa
ratus, which altogether weighs 300
pounds. Mr. Scott asserts that with
this machine he will travel through
the air at the rate of seventy miles
an hour in clear weather and in a
storm and against a head wind forty
tniies. He says that he has himself
already made trial trips on a small
scale with it, and that for upward,
forward and downward motion, as
well as standing still In mid-air, and
in all weathers, he has found the
machine a thorough success. The
principle may be applied, he says,
with the same effect to machines of
any size or strength.
The New United States Building-
Big Freigh Contract.— The splendid
building to be erected by tbe gov
ernment opposite the State House
will soon commence its growth upon
the solid foundation which marks its
proposed site. We are reliably in
formed that Mr. L. L. McCleskey on
yesterday closed a contract with the
Bodwell granite company to trans
port the granite purchased by the au
thorities, via Port Royal (of which
route he is the Southern agent) to
Atlanta. There wili be nearly three
hundred ear loads of the rock, making
one of the largest freight contracts
ever made here, and it speaks
well for the young but popular Port
Royal route and its enterprising rep
resentative, Mr. McCleskey, Our
readers will naturally wonder why
Stone Mountain granite, which lies
only sixteen miles away, was not
used—a query readilv auswered by
the fact that the Bodwell company,
whose quarries are fifteen hundred
miles distant, underbid our home
company many thousand dollars.—

Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
tho scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color. nArnn

The following is an extract from a description, published in the Now Vbrk Tribuiu, by ths wsl
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: . ,j.
All the farmers wore of the “well to do” sort, and somo of them, wbo have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. Tho sdil is loam, Varying from sandy tocisvey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits oi peat or muck aro stored, snlllcient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of tbe most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, stiff suitable
condition for p'ieasaut farming, that wo know of this side of the Western prairies. Wefoiindsome
of the oldest larins apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continuod fertility. The whole country Is a
marine deposit, and all through the noil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl showing many distinct forms of sucieut heU*. °* ***
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in r y
rorm, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by iuch plants aa ths termsr Resins to
CliltiVlU.
