The Boston Journal Of Commerce says
Since soft coal from Newcastle, England, be-
gan to be shipped here Of late, "a period OF
about six months) no less than thirty steamer
carroes have arrived in Boston, bringing on
the average about twelve hundred tons each,
Contary to what many have expected, these
shipments continue to promise to be kept up
for quite a time yet. n good many of these
steamers were formerly engaged in the Black
sea grain trade; and as these ports were closed
bv the late TurkOR Russian war the steamers
have been diverted to our grain-carrying trade.
This soft coafOr gas purposes mainly, has
been brought from Newcastle at lower freight
than coal is often brought to our city from the
Pennsylvania mines The recent decision of
Russia not to open her grain ports, will cause
these steamers to resort to this coal and grain
carrying trade with our country, until the
matter regulates itself in some way. Last
week the price of the Penn gas coal was re
duccd to a lower figure than ever before, viz,
S400 on board at Baltimore, making about So
80 here. The Newcastle coal has been selling
at $3.50, but the Penn coal at the reduction is
considered fully an equivalent, owing to its
superior richness The Newcastle coal i'm
pOrta ions will be checked unless grain freights
60 higher; and may even then, especially If
war risks have to be paid. There is limit to
the use of the foreign article, as only the large
gas companies can buy to advantage, and even
they have to use the American coal with it TO
enrich it. To show how CuriOusly trade changes,
il may be stated that about the time of the fire
in Boston, a certain house here was figuring as
to sending cargo of Cumberland coal to Eng
land and only shilling a ton stood against
the feasibility of the venture.

A Novel Claim.

Springfield, H., May S.--A novel claim has
been filed with the Auditor for consi Iteration
by the new claim commission EX Senator
Casey, of Mount Vernon, in behalf of the heirs
of James Mckee, files the claim which, with
the interest, amounts to $45,679. 1t is based
on the following statement of facts: About
1892, two sisters named Hall were captured
by the Indians, and one Of the Black Hawk
cheftalns became enamored of Sylvia, the
eldest, who was called by the Indians" "The
Paleface Bird" They were both finally ran
somed by wealthy Frcnchman Of st. Louis,
named Gratiot who gave several thousand dol
lars in ponies and other property to effect theil
release In 1884 the Illinois Legislature gave
the sisters each so acres of land. Sylvia receiv.
ed one-half of the southeast quarter of section
ten, town thirty five north, range ten east, now
the site of Joliet. Governor Reynolds made
her deed to this land, which deedis filed with
the paper She and her husband conveyed
this nd to Mckee, who erected mills upon it,
using The water-pOwer of the Desplains River
In 1888 the canal Commissioners destroyed the
water powcr and appropriated the mill-site for
cana, purposes In 1S41 Mckee obtained
judg ornt IN Will County Circuit Court for
$17,G ) damages but in payment he was forced
to ta, canal scrip, worth only twenty cents on
the e. p.lar. The present claim is for the 80 pei
cent thus lost with interest to date.

Agricultural writers are inclined to recon-
mend small farms. AS well advocate doing
business of any kind on a small scale. Better
have a small farm paid for and well managed
than to owe for large one without the means
to work it well. But If farmer is able to
own large farm and has the ability to manage
it, no one need to waste any sympathy on him,
Large farms are often poorly farmed, so are
small ones. The difficulty is not so much with
the size of the farm as with the capacity of the
farmer Good farming can be done just as
well and more economically on n large farm
than on a small one, Teams, implements and
farm hands can be used to better advantage on
the large farms for the farmer can afford to
have a variety suited to his needs. 1t is fool
ish to seek to get Il large farm just for the sake
of room, but if the large area is fully utilized
then we see no objection to it.-Husbandn'on.

Capt. Ericsson, the great inventor, who
built the first steam fire engine, invented the
calorlc engine and gave TO naval warfare the
turret ship or Monitor, and is now engaged
upon pertecting an engine to be driven solely
by the power Of solar heat, has lately been eX-
perimenting with new torpedo that threatens
to revolutionize naval warfare The New
York SIN says of it;
Capt Ericssons plan involves, first, the in
vention of a new torpedo of irresistible power,
and, second, the construction OF conductor
that they will carry this torpedo almost 10 the
very sides of IN enemy's vessel with deadly
accuracy. 70 this country, where coast and
harbor defenCcs are OF the firSt importance,
such torpedo will be invaluable.
In the concluding trials in Capt. Ericsson's
governments on the Hudson a torpedo % feet
| G inches long, Weighing 400 pounds, was
propelled horizontally under water by means
of compressed air at Il mean rate of 50 nautical
miles an hour for the first $50 feet In anoth-
er experiment the torpedo was discharged at n
certain inclination, making it take an upward
course and, after passing through about 40 feet
of solid water, performing fiat trajectory in
the air. entered the water again at Il distance Of
200 feet; then, moving near the sutace, 1t ira
VcrSeu llle next 4OO leeI III III SECONDS, III inc
rate of 23a1 nautical miles an hour
Capt Ericsson says that he can explode half
a ton of dynamite under the fastest iron clad
that no ironclad ship has yet been built fast
enough or strong enough to escape or resist
the new torpedo. In making it he has taken
advantage of the fact that the armor plating OF
ships extends only short distance below the
water line, and cannot be extended further
without making them too heavy too float. The
swiftness with which the torpedoes will be
carried by the conductor will prevent any ac-
curate aim being taken at them, so that the
conductors may get within 300 feet of the enc
my's ship with safety, and, of course, retire at
leisure after their work Is done.
Yet the work on this torpedo he regards as
only temporary suspension of his great work
on his solar engines, and he hopes, before he
dies, to see the rays of the sun substituted for
coal as motive power.

In the Journdl of the Royal Agricultural so
ciety of New South Wales, Is the following eX.
pertinent relating to the difference in yield
from the sets of large and of small potatoes
planted: in the month Of September, rela-
tive of mine (who was at the time command
ing one of the regular traders to this port gave
me small quantity of II very fine potato,
which he brought from England selected
two of the finest, which weighed one pound
two ounces. And these were cut up so as to
make thirteen sets. In row next to them |
planted similar number cut from the same
weight of these potatoes, but all small in size
in fact, such as are usually used as seed potatoes
On JAM dug up the crop and found that
the two large potatoes produced nine pounds,
twelve ounces, while the product of the small
Ter seed was only six pounds. But the most
remarkable part of the experiment was that
amongst the produce of the large seed there
was hardly small potato, while the produce
of the smaller consisted of great many small
tubers, and scarcely any large If a calculation
be made on this basis, it will be seen that one
cwt. Of large potatoes would produce over SIX
cwt. of saable crop, while the same weight
of small seed will produce only four cwt. OF a
crop, a large proportion Of which would be on
ly of use as pigs food"

Prof. Leidy states that when he purchased
his present residence, while 1t was undergoing
repair, he noticed a fragment cf bread, left by
the workmen in one of the second story rooms
swarming with little red ants.
Apprehendng that the house was seriously
infested, to ascertain whether it was So he
placed a piece of sweet cake in every room
from the cellar to the attic At noon every
piece was found covered with ants. Having
provided a cup of turpentinc oil, each piece
was picked up with forceps, and the ants tap,
ped into the oil The cake was replaced, and
in the evening was found covered with ants
The same process was gone through the follow
ing two days, morning, noon and night. me
third day the number OF ants had greatly I'll
minished and on the fourth there were none
He at once concluded the ants had all been
DESTROYED. but IN the attics he found few
feeding on dead house flies, which led INN TO
suppose that the remainder had become suspl
ciors of the sweet cake. He accordingly dis.
tributcd through the house pieces OF bacon
winch were afterward found swarming with
ants. This was repeated with the same result
for several days, when, in like manner with the
cake. the ants finally ceased to visit the bacon
Pieces of cheese were next tried, with the same
results. but with an undoubted thinning in the
multitude of ants. When the cheese proved
no longer attractive, recollecting the feast on
dead flies in the attic, dead grasshoppers were
supplied from the garden. These again proved
too much for the ants, and after few days
trial neither grasshoppers nor anything else at
tracted them. They appear to have been thor
oughly exterminated, nor has the house since
been infested with them. Prof. Leidy regards
the action of the ants as indicating ready dis

The voice of the phonograph in its present
state of perfection is that of a person talking
in loud voice in an adjoining room with the
door closed ANY sound, no matter what, is
faithfully reproduced. Laughing, whistlng,
coughing, singing, and ordinary speaking.
The invention is yet in its infancy, and what
nav be the improvements which will speedily
and probably follow it is impossible to say.
Mr. Edison has already succeeded in making
the phonograph sufficiently delicate to record
and reproduce the words of Il speaker, talking
IN an ordinary way, four feet from the instru-
ment. The power with which the sound can
be reproduced depends on the species of sound
ing-boad which is used, and on this point
more decided results will no doubt he obtained.
At present. in IA large room full persons there
is no difficulty in hearing the words distinctly
from all parts of the room. The amount of
talking which can bercCOrdcd on a small piece
of tintoil is marvellous. VI. Edison has sue
iceeded in putting IS 600 words on sheet of tin
foil about ten inches square. SO far, thin cop
per sheets have been found to work most salts
foctorily and it is probable that diamond points
will ultimately. be used. Nh. Edison is confident
that he will soon be able to reproduce the
slightest whisper as well as the screech Of
Istcam-whistlc.

Unripe or imperfectly-matured roots are apt
TO scour stock, even il given IN moderate pro-
portion. The precise cause of this disagree
ment of immature roots with the health OF
stock has not yet been thoroughly Investigated.
Ii may be that unripe roots contain poison
Gus principle, which does not exist IN fully-ma-
tured roots, or perhaps the injurious effects OF
immature roots are connected with the presence
of certain organic acids. 1t is well known that
roots which are quite immature do not keep
