1885, Fitch was petitioning Congress- to
aid him in bringing out his invention.
Aid was refused, but the public was
soon astonished by seeing his boats move
against the current at the rate Of eight
miles an hour. In.l7s7 the members of
the convention that adopted the Consti-
tuition went in body to inspect the
steamboat which had been navigating
the Delaware for some time. Fulton,
who took his idea from Fitch's model,
which he saw at Paris, did not produce
his steamboat till some twenty years
after the last mentioned date.

FoR thirty years the British govern
ment has kept careful record OF the
number Of the Irish who have emigrated
from Ireland. From the LIST of May,
1851, to tho close Of tho past year the
number of emigrants leaving Irish ports
has been 1904 40. This number is
equal to about throe.fifths Of the actual
population of Ireland. During the three
decades it has been favorite theory in
England that the expatriation of two
persons in five of the Irish race would
increase materially tho prosperity of the
three who remained at home. Practical
results, however, do not bear out this
peculiar method Of theorizing.

THE Spanish Minister Of Public
Works has signitied his approval OF the
plan for laying submarine tolegraphic
cable between Spain and Cuba, by way
of the Azores and the Bermudas. From
these islands branch cable will be
laid to New York, and another
from Habana to connect with
the Central American lines. The
rates between Spain and Cuba are to be
thirty cents for a word--just one-fourth
of the actual rate by way Of the United
States. The greatest stretch Of ocean
to DO crossed is the seventeen-hundred
miles between the Azores and the Ber-
mudas. On that section Of the line the
cable will lie at the bottom OF valley,
in places as far below the surface Of the
sea as the tops Of the highest Hima-
ayas are above II. This line will

kilograms to-day inquiring if his report
on the wheat crop, which was made for

port was meant for members of the
Association only and notfor publication
He calls attention TO the fact that his
estimate is based on reports from TWEEN
ty-one States only, and says if the crop
of the whole country was taken into con

TRICHINE.
'Alr. Frank s. Billings, veterinary
surgeon, contributes two valuable arti-
cles to the New York Medical Journal
upon 'Trichiniasis in its Relations to the
Public Heal n and National Economy
His method is to take up u stump of the
pillars of the diaphragms and examine
their sections. OF the s,773 hogs ex-
amined, 345 were found infected, that 10
one in every twenty five, This result.
says Billings, does not certainly support
the words of the State Department, that
there are less triching in American
pork than in that of any other country.
Comments are made upon the manner in
which some investigations have been
made. In one case, an objective capable
of magnifying two hundred diameters,
was used, and the pieces examined were
separated into shreds Mr.. Billings very
pertinently remarks that as the length
of the female trichina is one-eighth of an
inch, he should expect, when he did
happen to find one, to find boa con-
strictor. In the second place, it is well
known that the parasite is most easily
recognized by using crushed specimens.
In conclusion he says;
Some unknown living thing lodges
triehine before they enter the porcine
organism. The questions are; What is
it? Where is it? What are its modes
Of life? These things discovered, and
they must be, an end can be put to por-
cine trichinosi5 and hence to humans.
Blufiing the attempt to write down on
existing fact will only end in ridicule to
this Government; research, untiring and
unceasing, is the only cure. Cost what
it will, it will pay far better than Gov
ornamental lies. Americanhogs are much
more trichinous than European"
Undoubtedly Bismarck is well ao-
quainted with those facts, and do not
believe that either Roses best Blaue
Elben or Shorb's Zinfandel, or even the
famous Eclipse OF Haraszthy, could in
duce him to change his opinion on this
subject. J. K.

IncendIary shot by Masked Citi-

MARIANA, Ark, May 26.-At one

II. b. Derrick was discovered to be on
fire. An entrance was made through

that nothing was saved. Ten fine
horses persisted. Some were cut loose
from their stalls but could not be driven
out. Derrick's loss is heavy. There
was no insurance. But for the rain of
an hour previous the business part OF
the town would have been burned. The
fire was incendiary. Suspicion points to
negro, who was discharged by De rick
several days since. He was locked up
but denied his guilt, but the proof was
so convining that a body of masked men
took him out and shot him. They pla.
carded the body as follows: "This is a
warning to all house burners Citi-
zens. The Coroner's jury returned
