FOREST AND STREAM, 
—The ring crab is what Mr. B. F. Smith, 
ot Frankford, Pa., calls a device somewhat 
similar to the eagle claw-trap. According 
to the inventor it has been thoroughly 
tested by scientific men of the highest 
standing’, and pronounced by them to be 
the most ingenious, convenient, safest, 
strongest, and most compact device known 
to the history of inventions, for catching 
fl ih, eels, turtles, fowls, rats and animals of 
every description, 
—Reed and Pell, the British Commis¬ 
sioners to examine American agriculture, 
are highly pleased noth the Northwestern 
States aud Territories. They say that Min¬ 
nesota’s climate is a luxury and her soil 
unsurpassed, her only need being people 
■and trees, which will come in good time. 
They are now on a tour through Nebraska, 
Kansas and Texas. 
—The French Forestry Department is 
satisfied that forests directly increase the 
supply of water in their neighborhood. 
From careful observations at Senlis and 
Nancy, they have decided that it rains 
abundantly in wooded tracts, and that 
while the leaves and branches give back 
the water quickly to the air, they prevent 
rapid evaporation from the ground, and 
are thus favorable to the formation of 
springs. 
—The highest inhabited house in North 
America is believed to be the one erected 
for the miners employed on Mount Lin¬ 
coln, in the main range of the Rocky 
Mountains, Park Co., Col. It is 14,157 
feet above sea level. However, there is 
in South America, on the Callao, Lima 
and Oroya Railroad. Peru, 04 miles from 
Lima, on the summit of the Andes, a small 
town called Galera, 15,645 feet above the 
level of the sea about 600 feet above the 
line of perpetual snow. It was founded 
in 1872 by an engineering corps of the 
Oroya Railroad, represented by Martin 
Van Brocklin, now Superintendent of the 
Metropolitan Elevated Railroad, New York; 
his brother, Herman Van Brocklin, and 
H. J. Tobias, Illinois.
