The Deepest Mines.

Eureks tNey.) Sentinel.
Twenty years ago the deepest
mining shaft in the world reached
only 1000 feet below the surface.
The very deepest, we believe, was a
metalliterous mine in Hanover,
which had been carried down to a
depth OF 1920 feet. The deepest
perpendicular shaft to day is the
Adelbert shaft in a silver lead mine
In Prozibrsm, in Bohemia, which
has reached a depth of $3.50 feet.
The attainment of that depth was
the occasion Of a three days festi-
val, and still further noticed by
striking off q large number Of COM
memorative medals Of the value of a
form each. There is no record of
the beginning of work on
the mine, although its writ
ten history goes back to 1927.
Quite recently al elegant comment
oratlve volume has been written and
printed, which is most interesting
reading to those who have a taste
for either the actualities or aniiquI.
ties OF mining industry. There are
two other localities, however, where
a greater depth has been reached
than at the Adeibert shaft, but not
in a perpendicular line. These are:
l. The rock salt bore hole near
Sparenberg, not far from Berlin,
which a few years ago had been
bored to a depth Of 4 IT'S feet. g.
The coal mine IN Viviers Remus, in
Belgium, where the miners, by
shaft-sinking, together with BORN,
have reached a total depth of 3,t42
feet. Turning from these two
mines, no shaft in unbroken per-
pendicular line has as yet exceeded
the depth of $3.50 feet.

Paine's Death.Bed.

To the Editor of the New York World.
SIR-During q stay of a few
months in Southeast Missouri L BE-
came acquainted with a Mr.. Spsul,
ding, a nephew Of the late Arch
bishop Spaulding of Baltimore. He
said he had often heard his uncle
speak Of the death of Paine. Ac-
cording to him. the Archbishop's
uncle or father had been called upon
to visit Paine upon his ueath- bed.
Some of Paine's friends asked him
If he would not like to see Q minis.
ter. Paine said that he had no OBJ
lection. A Catholic priest-Spaul-
ding's ancestor-and a Protestant
minister were called in. They asked
Paine if he had any objecuon to re-
lIgious consolation in his dying
hours. He politely told them, "Not
any;"and ia co%nversing with them,
he drew them into an argument
with each other. While they were
arguing IS to how be should be min
lstered on, Paine turned his face to
the wall and calmly died. Mr..
Spaulding said his uncle related this
as a lesson in charity. He was no
friend of Paine but an ardent Ro-
man Catholic. ST. PAUL.

Productions of States.

Prairie Farmer.
Iowa now takes rank esthe great
est wheat producing State, MIME.
sofa comes next in order, then Hi.
nois, Wisconsin taking the fourth
place. Ohio raises the most winter
wheat and wool, Illinois grows the
mostcorn and oats and produces the
largest number Of fat cattle and
hogs. Pennsylvania grows the
most rye, amounting to nearly one
fifth Of the production of that cereal
in the States. California produces
the greatest barley crop, ana also
the most silk cocoons and wine.
New York gives US the greatest
amount of hay, hops, potatoes,
peas and beans. Sweet pots-
toes are most largely produced
in North Carolina. South Carolina
is the greatest rice producing State ;
Georgia comes next, and then Lou
isians; these three States yielding
nearly the whole rice crop of the
country. louisiana also produces
nearly all the cane sugar and mo.
lasses. Vermont, the most OF the
maple sugar, or one-third of the
whole product, New York coming
next. Indiana gives.the most sorg-
hum, one-eighth, and Ohio nearly as
much. Kentucky produces over
loo, 900, 600 pounds of tobacco, or
considerably over one-third of the
whole crop, also one.half of all the
hemp produced IN the United
States.
Thus while we cannot furnish an
entirely correct idea of the crops of
our country, 1t will be seen from the
statement, which OF our
States produce more largely OF the
important crops OF the nation. 1t
is to be hoped that before the next
census is taken, congress will adopt
means to do this work each five
years. Thus a great injustice to the
growing population Of the West, in
representation to our national ss-
sembly, will be done away with. 1t
should also provide for taking statis-
tics of the industries of the country,
twice as often as we now get them.
We opIne that when the next census
is taken many persons wilt be sur.
prised, not only of the vast increase
in the population Of the West, but
also at her immense production of
all that goes to make up the natural
prosperity of the nation.
