Rabbits Eat Haystacks.

So hungry did rabbits become during llie week or 1 0 days that the ice and snow covered the ground here, preventing them from obtaining their usual food- from wheat, fields, that they could be shot by the dozens as they gathered around alfalfa stacks at night time to eat the alfalfa. During one moonlight night Tom Mercer, a bomstead farmer, shot 12 large jack rabbits in less than half an hour as they came from all directions to an alfalfa stack close to his barnyard. lie says that, with the moonlight shining on the snow covered ground it was possible to see the rabbits as they came for the alfalfa while they were still a long distance away. Many farmers found great, holes eaten in the sides and tops of tlieir alfalfa stacks where the starving rabbits fed nightly. The alfalfa stacks were about the only food supply the rabbits could find uncovered by the thick coating of ice and snow. —Cottonwood Falls (Kans.) Cor. New York Sun.

Frozen Fish.

A rather interesting and unexpected experiment in fish culture took place at the home of Charley Sloan, the Brown-Proctoria hotel barber, a few nights ago. His wife had two goldfish in a bowl sitting on a stand table. One night the water in the bowl froze solid and the fish were caught in the solid block of ice—motionless and apparently dead. When the Ice melted several hours later the fish continued their usual habits as though nothing had happened. —Winchester Democrat. A most remarkable engineering accomplishment is a well in western China, bored to a depth of 3,600 feet with a rattan cable. "Go to Church Sunday," April 16.
