The enormous progress which has
been made in agricultural pursuits
within a comparatively short time is
shown in the fact that our total cereal
product increased from 1929, 900 900
bushels in 1860 to 2,7l4,00 900 BUSH

The King of South American Cataraets.

1t was not until I had been within its
direct influence that l learned that
Tequendama was a potentially in the
United States of Colombia. Our own
Niagara fills its unmatched picture in
this broad world no more despotically
then Tequendama does its own in South
America. 1t may be as well to admit
here that, while observing the latter fall,
l was far from being at my ease. The
fact is, men never manage, whatever
they may combine to say, to stand wholly
at case in the presence of a great catar-
act. In the midst of an unrest so mighty
and so ceaseless no spectator can him
self be entirely at rest.
The sublimity of Tequendama is in
its depth, as that of Niagara is in its
width and immensity of volume. A fall
from great height is Teduendama-
not q clear fall, however, because the
Salto itself is divided into two we'll
defined leaps. One, the minor leap, is
small fall striking on ledge, which
eight inches below the bed of the Bo-
gotta, the river which feeds the cataract.
The other, the greater leap, starts in
foam from the ledge with what seems
no longer rushing water-save for the
jets of spray that now and then spit
out only to fall back after while, like
well-trained skirmishers, into the main
body. Outside of such erratic move
ments, Tequendama ends by broadening
into a strong, glistening mass, the
lower descent of which is lost in the
mist that never leaves it, winter or sum-
mer. After rebounding from the ledge,
it dashes itself forward and downward
to commit that solitary form of suicide,
which, in all the annals of men, finds no
detractor.
The width of Tequendama depends,
of course, upon the breadth of the Bo-
gotta as it fronts the cliff. The measure
of the Bogota is the full measure of the
fall, and that measure seems very limit
ed in comparison with the far vaster
proportions of the gulf itself. Any
muscular man on so much solid surface
might easily cross it at a dozen jumps
within half that distance of the cataract.
Its depth is mighty. If not the great
est, it suffices to make Tequendama one
of the deepest among the falls Of the
earth-Ruckon Foss in Norway, 500
feet, and Lllea, in Sweden, 600 feet,
alcne probably surprising it. The pub
lished accounts, as a rule, place it at 600
feet, although the real descent, varying
between Humboldt's estimate, by drop
ping, of 5S5 feet, and Baron CROSS by
measure, of 479 feet, is doubtless nearer
500 feet. Even at this last figure, Te-
quendama is more than three times as
deep as Niagara, which is said to touch
bottom at 160 feet. The bed of the
chasm is 102 feet lower than the foot of
the fall itself-Neac York Mail.

Fashion Notes.

Rows of feather stitch are set between
the machine stitching on the backs of
gloves.
The name pagoda is applied to the
sleeves which are wide and turn back at
the wrist.
An effort to bring back the laced shoe
has been made, but buttons still remain
in favor.
Waistcoats are still worn with basques.
The style is too pretty to be hastily
abandoned.
Tubular sashes of knit worsted, end
ing in tassels, are to be worn by children
this summer.
Waists are now cut of crosswise ma
terial that they may be tight enough
without wrinkling.
Little shoulder capes are all the wrap
that will be needed with woolen dresses
this summer.
Two deep plaitings and an apron over
skirt form the skirt of Paris dresses in
tended for everyday use.
The outside garments worn with
morning costumes are longer than those
which accompany carriage dress.
Pointed waists are easily converted
into well-ftting basques by the addition
of deep straight pieces.
Some short skirts instead of being
kilt plated on the edge are shirred and
then tucked to make founce.
Blue-white lace is coming in again,
but it is so much less becoming than
cream-white that its adoption Will be
slow.
Sarah Bernhardt's fashion of wearing
a poke bonnet will be generally follow,
ed in this country this summer.
An elastic is put into the tops of some
of the new undressed kid gloves, and
frills of lace are also sewn upon them,
Garnet grapes with jet leaves veined
with gold make up the somewhat toe
brilliant design of one of the beaded
laces.
Girdles pointed in front are worn with
surphce waists. The back of the dress
is made perfectly plain and has no belt
at all.

Gigantic Locomotives,

Ten iron giants for the Pennsylvania
Railroad company will be built this
summer at Altoona. They will be much
larger and more powerful than ordinary
passenger engines, and are to be built
for the particular purpose of making up
time on portions of the road where
there are long stops. On the fast run
between New York and Philadelphia,
for instance, the time allowed is so
short that when there are unusual stops
letting off and getting on passengers the
ordinary engines cannot make it up.
Hence monster locomotive, known on
the road as "No. TO-" has been built as
an experiment and tried on different
trains to see what can be done. The
result has been satisfactory, but there
are many improvements that suggest
themselves which will be carried out in
the construction of the other heavy en-
gines that are to follow. In the slang
of the railroad yard No. 10 is known as
"Long-legged loco" This comes from
the driving wheels she rides upon,
which stand six feet and six inches
above the rails, or higher than a tall
man with silk hat on. Sic has two
pairs of drivers forged for her by Herr
Krupp, the famous cannon maker. In
this is supposed to have been solved tue
highest aim that can be sought in q
locomotive-to pull the heaviest trains
over all grades against stiff winds and
with the least possible liability toward
hot boxes or low steam on the quickest
schedule time. Her engineer says:
"She goes like bird and rides like o
rocking-chair." Ever since it has been
running this engine has been making O
mile in fifty-seven seconds on up grade
with long train in tow without getting
heated. She makes more than a mile
minute and "keeps cool" OF course
there is great consumption of fuel. In
$50 miles $4,000 pounds of coal are used
up. The water tank contains 5000 gal
Ions, 100 more than is usually carried
Everything else is on propoTtionately
large scale. Only the delay in getting
boilers sufficiently large has prevented
the completion of two others of nearly
the same pattern.-Phiiadelphia Times
