100 guns. 1t WAS begun in 1920 and
completed in 1856. the Indians being
compelled to do the labor Of building.
Over the entrance is the Spanish coat
of arms and the name of the then Gov

and the date Of the completion o. the
fort. In 1885 j dungeon WAS discOv-

Of "a man, and each contained q bumsu

or not enough, and from either cause
found himself unable to control the

the safest to entertain, for on going

a Pneumatic Grain Tube.

A Minnesota man has patented q
pneumatic tube for the transport OF
grain. The machinery of propulsion is
a fan, worked by steam, revolving in an
air-ehamber which consists of two dou-
BILE cones, put ba to base. The axle
of the fan is hollow. A tube runs
through it. pc forated at the sides and
bottom. This tube connects the two
pipes which enter the apices of the
cones. The grain to be transported is
poured into the entrance pipe. The
revolution Of the fan sucks 1t into the
connecting tube, and then blows it
ahead into the main pipe. At the same
time the fan of the next station, twenty
miles away, begins to whirl. Thus the
grain is hurried forward by suction
ahead and compressed air behind. The
trouble with the theory seems to be
that the grain cannot readily pass under
the influence of two directly opposed
currents of air in the same tube. At
some point they must neutraiize each
other. Still, as the Inventor has secur-
ed patent, it is fair to infer that his
model works satisfactorily, so that he
may have met this difficulty. He thinks
his tube can carry 5000 bushels of
wheat $50 miles in an hour. Nail mat
ter can make forty miles more in the
same time. The expense of construct
ing tube between Chicago and New
York, with carrying capacity of 4O,-
900, 900 bushels year is put at s., ,0OO,-
900. A charge of twelve cents a bushel
would pay the cost of construction in a
year AMI leave $500, 600 for operating
expenses. Among the calculations it is
said the saving to farmers, even when
the company got such remunerative
rates, would be great. Grain would be
transported from Minnesota to tide
water for fifteen cents, instead of fifty.
This would save that state alone about
$40, 900, 900 year.

Sheep and Wool Report.

According to the tables given in the
department report of agriculture, we
find that the states in which the greatest
increase has taken place are Kansas,
which is rated at 96 on every 100; Cali
fornia, II Maine and Texas, which are
each set down at 8 Michigan, set down
at an increase of on the 100. Kansas
IN 1870 had only II, 500 sheep, so that
doubling her sheep would not make the
whole number more than there is IN one
of our third-rate sheep growing coun-
ties. But adding two per cent. to the
sheep in Michigan is different affair,
as it adds "a, 600 head to the state. But
then we find that New York has shrunk
three per cent, or that during the year,
if her stock of sheep was equal in num-
Der to the number reported by the cen
sus of 1870, this state has lost 78. .534,
or three times the amount that Michigan
has gained.
California is reporte ] as having gained
seventeen per cent. on her number of
sheep. Sheep have increased so fast
in thai state since 1870 that it would
hardly be fair to set her figures for 1872
by the census of 1870, which places the
number of her sheep at LOSS, 002. or
less than Michigan in that year. Her
wool being mostly sold in the unwashed
state, however, and estimated In 1872 at
20 OOO. GOO pounds, or equal to the pro-
duce OF 3, 900, 600 sheep, an increase of
seventeen per cent. would be equal to
$1,000 head, or the production of an
increased crop of unwashed wool of
g, ,O6O, OOO pounds. The state of Ohio is
set down as making no change.

College Hazing.

The New York Tribune, in the course
of an editorial commenting on the ae-
ton of the faculty of the Michigan
university in expelling those students
recently found guilty of "hazing, !"
says: "It is sentimental nonsense,
gathered from English novels, to say
that it makes a boy manly to be kicked
ana cuffed by his elders. II a man
kept only the company of gentlemen
and ladies from his cradle to his grave
he would be all the better for it. Ihis
is unfortunately impossible, but It il
the duty of teachers to see that while s
youth remains at school he shall see as
little of the vulgar brutahties Of life as
is consistent with the conditions of hu-
man existence. Tt is not alone in the in
terests of the victims Of hazing that it
should be put down with the strong
hand. It is the best thing that can be
done for the rough hobbledehoys them
selves who consider It sueh q pleasure
and privilege to bully the youngsters,
To show them that If they act like ruff
fans and blackguards they Will be pun
ished for it. A single decided act like
that of the Michigan faculty viii do
more to convince the yCath Of that re-
Rion of the immortality of hazing than
any amount of lecturing.

EnnfnoctiaI Storms.

There is a popular delusion that a
three days storm is inevitable when
the sun crosses the line in the lat
ter part of March and September,
and the unsettled state of the weather
at this period, which usually eliminates
in showers of some duration, is always
spoken of as the ''equinoctial storm. ."
According to Professor LOomis, of
Yale college, however, the equinox has
very little to do with the storms, and
excepting that the weather is generally
unsettled by the changes which are
taking place in the atmosphere, there is
no mere likelihood of a storm upon
the day that the sun crosses the line
than upon any other day of the year.
So much for one of our popular the
ories, which, like our popular supersti-
tions, obtain a stronger hold upon
the public mind than the strongest
facts. In the light of this truth 1t is
not difficult to account for the length of
time-centuries, perhaps - which 1t
takes to discover a popular error or es-
tablish a scientific truth nor can we
measure our Indebtedness to the men
who devote their lives to discovering
facts in nature and art, and establishing
them upon a scientifc-that IS, real
and knowable-basis. For 1t must be
remembered that these men are always
in a minority the mass of mankind are
content to take the world as they md 1t.
with all its errors, superstltlons and
preiudices, and feel no gratitude to
those who disturb their fond and fool
ish belief in them.

The Latest Agony in Ladies' Shoes

Among the many reforms for which
women have cause to be grateful, the
! shoe reform is one of the best. Fine
weather is always given as an explana-
ticn of streets thronged with women,
but in view of this springs capriciOus
atmospheres, that reason surely fails.
It must be the prevailing shoe, broad
soled, square heeled, md freer than
suffrage, that has driven forth the fem
mine pedestrian, for certainly cover
ing for the foot as " easy" as that of
the present walking shoe has not been
worn In a long time. Shoes of all
kinds are notably plain; even fancy
stitching is out of favor, and neatuess,
only, is imperative, provided the shoe is
excellent in ft.
Buttoned boots, made of soft, lustre-
less French kid, are the kind preferred,
heavy shoes of pebble goat being added
TO warbrobes now in preparation for the
country. For sensitive feet, easily wea-
ried by walking, uppers OF French sa-
tin have foxings of kid, only high
enough to give strength and protect the
feet from dampness.
For carriage wear, there sre dainty
boots of French satin, which lace upon
the instep, and add quilting of narrow
black lace entirely around both eyelet
rows. Sucn SnOSaS mdOe oA tno same
material as the dress, are provided with
elegant dinner and reception costumes,
while others of black satin with lace
trimmed Isppels upon the instep are
preferred by some for the same purpose.
For travelling, kid buttoned boots are
first In favor, but many ladies are or
dering boots of heavy gray and fax
colored linen to serve in dry, hot
weather.
Slippers of linen, corn, buff and
brown, are being chosen for Fleglfge toi-
lets in the country, and these trimmed
with rosettes of black, and bright steel
buckles, are both pretty and suitable Of
themselves
Marie AntoiBette slippers, croquet
and garden shoes, nnd Pom padour shoes
of scarlet, or blue kid, are among the
fancy provisions OF the EhOe-shops this
season.
No more buff or gray kid shoes are
worn by little girls, black being firmly
settled as the favorite color, or rather
no color. Wee things in their first
short dresses, and BARNS just trying IN
dependent locomotion, wear dainty but
toned shoes OF pink, scarlet, or blue,
without heels, and fastened with pearl

IL WE KNEW.


II We knew when walking thought esI

Lest Our careless feet should trampls
Some rare Jewel in the ground
If We Faew what forms were fainting
For she shade that we should fling,
IL We knew what lips were parching
For the water we should bring,
We should haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cups Of cooling water.
Planting rows Of shading palms.
II we knew when friends around US
Closely press to say gOOd-by
Which among the lips that kiss US
First should meath the daisies lie,
We would clasp our arms around them,
LooEing on them thro' our tears,
Tender words Of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears.
II Ee knew what lives were darkensd
By some thoughtless words Of ours,
Which bad ever lain among them
Like the frost among the flowers
Oh, with sincere repeut.ngs,
With what angui-h Of regret,
While our eyes were Overlooking,
Would we ry-fOrgive-fOrget
IF We knew, alas and do we
Ever care or seek to know.
