Everything looks favorable for very

the result, as very great portion of the

The early tomato crop bids fair to be
very abundant, although not early. 1t

become cheap. There has been great
difficulty in getting the late plants to
stand, and repeated replanting has been
necessary. Unless the season of warm
weather should extend into the fall, there
cannot be much fruit gathered from the

1t will be seen that the work of railway ex-
tension has been carried on in forty-two States
and Territories, the only State in which no
new track is reported laid being Connecticut
and Delaware, and the only Territories thus
distinguished being Idaho, Indian Territory
and Utah, although it is probable that few
miles were laid in the latter. The remote pos
session of Alaska, of course, does not come into
this category. Texas leads the country in re-
s,cct of railway building, having added last
year, by our table, All miles, which final re-
turns will probably increase to 800 or more.
Colorado appears to come next, with about 500
miles, of which no less than $40 are officially

narrowgauge railway company, the Denver &
Rio Grande. This company built during the
year no less than ten different lines or por-

inscriptions of the Mound. Builders.

Major William S. Beebe, of Brooklyn,
gave an interesting account, at the re-
cent meeting of the American Associa-
ton, of his efforts to decipher the i'll
scriptions that have been found in the
mounds at Davenport, Iowa, and Piqua,
Ohio. Two pieces of slate were found
in a mound at Davenport, one of which
was inscribed on one side, the other on
both. The stone inscribed on but one
side bore on its surface series of con-
centric circles, between the outer two
of which were twelve equidistant signs,
presumably the zodiacal signs. About
two years after these states were found,
two terra-cotta tablets were dug up at
Piqua, Ohio, bearing series similar to
each other of characters, 'evidently
letters ranged in horizontal lines. on
four of which the letters were in each
case six in number. In the fifth and
remaining instance there were five lines,
but this arrangement was at some dis
lance in the longitudinal. direction of
the tablet from the groups first men
toned, which were in both cases written
in couples. Major Beebe claimed that
these groups of six letters each, when
separated into alternate threes and read
right and left respectively, are the
names of eight of the zodiacal signs on
the Davenport slate--the other four
signs, Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and
Libra, being represented by four initial
letters on the back of one of the Piqua
tablets. These letters represent the
North, South, East and West, respect
lively. and correspond to the "world
holders as they were called, to which
a particular Importance was attached.
The most significant detail of this ident-
ification is that the forms of the letters
are almost precisely those that occur
about the Mediterranean, whose phonet-
ic values have been determined by Alois
Hess in his work on the classification of
old Spanish coins. Should this identifi-
cation be correct, the point arises wheth-
er its alphabet originated in this country
or in the old. Major Beebe claims to
have traced each form of letter to abo-
riginal American picture-symbols, in
which the same significance obtains in
both European and American forms.
Having fixed the significance Of the let
tiers, he has, he says, deciphered the in
scription on the stone from Grave Creek,
West Virginia, and that on the AK found
at Pemberton, New Jersey.-Popular

In the South Kensington Museum, at

dred years old, representing an apple,
the golden case ornamented with grains

served as an alarm. In London is an
