The Pittsburgh Telegraph, leading

lican candidate for the Presidency In
a recent issue, it truthfnlly says:
"There can be no question about it,
Bristow is, of all those named prnmi-
nently for the Republican nomination.
the ablest, hest and most available can
didate. His Repnblicanism, about
which some persons seem solicitous, is
of the staunchest kind, having been bred
in him, as it were, and not planted there
through hopes of official perferment. II

at Cincinnati, the name of Bristow will
appear on the Presidential ticket, and
it will be all the better for the party if
it is nailed at the top of the mast.
Shonld, however, some other equally
good man be given the Presidential
nomination, Bristow's name for Vice
President would prove a tower ofstrength
in the campaign, and add largely TO the
success Of the party in November"
If the party managers" have their
way about it, Col. Bristow will get
neither the first nor the second place on
the ticket. He doesn't seem to be the
kind of man they want.

for the present.

ports that Turkish bonds TO the amount
Of eight million Turkish pounds were

are the integrity of the Ottoman Empire

Bv its brief and confident announce

pair Of scissors, the telegraph no doubt
spared the Christian world very un-

significance of the late Sultan, il was
not deemed necessary to assure the posi-
tion of Murad Ehendi by pnIting his
predecessor completely out Cf the way.
In truth, however, the leaders of the
revolution at Stam boul must have dis
covered very soon that the death of the
dethroned Sultan was necessary 10 the
authority and secnrity Of his successor.
As soon a they learned that Servia re-

European powers would probably refuse

they no doubt came TO the conclusion
that Abdul Aziz must be got rid of. -
/ They knew, however, that if, according
to almost uniform precedent, they should
dispatch him either by the bow string or
by poison, the Christian world would
never accept the story Of his voluntary
death. Blood letting, on the other hand,
and especially blood letting by means Of
a pair of scissors, that simple, domestic
Implement, so familiar and so readily
accessible, seemed free from the ohjec-
tion Of offensive suggestiveness.
All this is SO pronahle in itself that
few persons, after little reflection, are
likely to believe that the ex Sultan died
voluntary death by his own hand.

suicide solely or chiefly for the reason

Fall Flo " Ing.

A correspondent gives his reasons for
fall blowing as follows: "By experience
and observation am satisfied that all
soils ought to he plowcd in the fall,
especially green sward, for several
seasons.
|. The sod roots during the winter,
and thus supplies the soil with nutri-
ment ready prepared for the young crop.
9. The Jumps become pulverlzed
sooner, PERMITTING the land to be stocked
down in better shape.
3. A team can work much easier in
the fall, and the farmer is less hurried.
The action of the atmosphere upon the
soil for longer time is also beneficial. /"
A correspondent Of an exchange, dis,
cussing the same topic, says: 81 have
tried fall plowing on light and heavy
soils. On light soils, which never
produce cakes and clods, it does we'll.
On heavy soil il is commonly detrimcn-
tai. IL followed by dry winter, il
sometimes succeeds; but commonly it
produces hard, cloddy soil, which is
long in becoming mellow. have known
this hardness to last full year afterward.
Even when the land was thoroughly
and evenly drained, this unfavorable
result followed. II is therefore neces-
sary to use caution in blowing heavy or
adhesive clayey land in autumn, and as
general rule it should be avoided"

The Depth OF Mining Shafts.
Baltimore American,

Twenty years ago the deepest mining
shafts in the world reached only about
1000 feet below the surface. The very
deepest, we believe, was metallierous
mint in Hanover, which had been carried
down to the depth of $3.50 feet. The
deepest perpendicular shaft to day is the
Adalbert shaft in a silver-lead mine in
Prizibram, in Bohemia, which has reached
a depth of $3.50 feet. The attainment
of that depth was made the occasion Of n
three days festival, and still further no
ticed by the striking off of a large mum
Der of commemorative silver medals of
a form each There is no record of the
beginning of work on this mine, although
its written history goes back TO 1927
Quite recently an elegant commemo'a-
tive volume has been written and printed
which is most interesting to those who
have a taste for either the actualities or
antiquities of mining industry. There
are two ether localities, however, where
a greater depth has been reached than at
the Adalbert shaft, but not in perpen-
dicular line. These are: |. The Rock
salt bore hole, near Sperenburg, not far
from Berlin, which fw years ago had
been bored TO depth of 4,l75 feet. 2.
The coal mines of Viviers Rcmus, in
Belgium, where the miners by. shaft sink
ing, together with boring, have reached
a total depth OF 3,542 feet Turning from
these two mines, no shaft in unbroken
perpendicular line has rs yet exceeded
the depth of 1880 feet. Although the
depth to which the shafts enumerated
have penetrated into the interior of the
earth in the art and practice of mining
may appear mighty, and may be an ex
pressive witness of the great progress
made in mining pursuits, yet on the
other hand, the above results may he
considered insignifcantly small when
we compare them with the extent OF the
earth's crust and the diameter of the
earth. The deepest borehoe in the world
is the artisan spring at Pottsdam, in
Missouri, which reaches depth of {, 900
feet
