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.— Atlanta Constitution.

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.
