The Other side OF the Shield.

rev I OTN 1T1OuLle
The system Of news collection becomes
more complete every year, and the field is
swept more thoroughly each time than tie
time before. The wheat and chaf come in
together, and il is the province of the clean
newspaper to see that as little Of the latter is
used as possible. Probably the average
reader would be surprised if he could see the
quantity Of news that is thrown aside each
day because it is not of kind that ought to
come before the eyes of his girls and boys
At the same time, the papers must print the
news. The widespread publication of muir
der arouses a whole community, and often
brings 1,0G0 eyes and ears to the help of JUS
tice. Then, too, there is natural and par
donable curiosity with regard to some sensa-
tional occurrences that must be satisfied.
When men hear of a friends death, they are
eager to know the details of his sickness, or
the accident that befell him, OF If he has gone
astray, to understand how and why. This is
a human instinct, to which few of us are su-
perior. 1t is the delicate duty of tho news
paper to satisfy it without going SO far as to
make its news demoralizing.
If the extreme publicity of the present day
is an evil-and there are times when it seems
so-what shall be said of the love of no
toriety? THIS is the other side of the shield.
The newspapers are accused of prying into
the affairs of the home filling their columns
full of offensive personalities, etc. and some
of them are not without sin in the matter
But do the public ever think of the striving
and labor on the part of Il large class in the
community to get themselves into the news
papers-yes, and even their home affairs?
This hunger for notoriety is seen in all
classes-rich and poor, learned and ignorant,
business men, professional men, writers,
soldiers and poets This tendency, too, has
to be held in check II the growth OF the
newspaper has developed the vice of public

George William Curtis and Nast.

George William Curtis is at Newport, be-
ing the guest of the Marquands, writes a cor
respondent. He feels at home anywhere in
Rhode Island, as that is his native state.
Curtis is now in his Goth year. It is moro
than a third of a century since he made his
first appearance in literature, taking at once
a first-cass position, which he has retained,
both as an orator, author and editor. His
residence is OH Staten island, where many of
the leaders in Harper's Weekly are written.
Mast, who has temporarily discontinued his
cartoons, lives in Morristown, and travels
but little, though he has recently visited
Saratoga springs. He lisa native Of Bavaria,
and began his career as an artist in the hum
best manner. His hits at Tweed and the in-
famous ring did much toward breaking the
latter, and James Gordon Bennett has also
WINGED under the power of his crayon. Mast,
indeed, is wonderful genius, but see what q
road to the public was opened to him in
Harper, whose patronage indeed has given
him fame as well as wealth. Hence it will
be well for him to resume his place, as other
wise he will soon be forgotten. He needs the
Harpers full as much as they need him, and
the salary 1920 per week. is certainly very
handsome. Mast has first and LAST drawn
sl5C, 900 from Harper's Weekly.

parently ordained. The awakening Of

TIE CINOEONA TREE.

The Experiment OF Cultivatihg Qui-
nine About to be Undertaken.
Chicago Times.
President Barrios, of Guatemala, has made
arrangements to try the experiment of cult
waiting the cinchona tree, and W. J. Forsyth,
planter of Ceylon, who has ridden thou
sand miles through Central America, explor-
ing the country to discover the best site for
plantation, is now in New York on his return
to East India to select the seed for five
million trees. Speaking on the subject, Mr.
Forsyth said: 1.-THE rapid increase in the
number of uses to which the bark of the
cinchona tree is put, not oply for the manu-
facture of quinine and as an ingredient in the
substitute for hops, but for various COM
mercial purposes, induced President Barrios
to try this experiment. Although the Gin
chona tree is not a native of India, but was
introduced there in 1879 by the celebrated
botanist, Clement Markham, at the instance
of the British government, the cul"1re was so
profitable that not only has the original in
vestment of e1500O0 been repaid, but the
trees have been valued at 81 100000"
There are many varieties of the cinchona.
One is the calisaya, which is rich in alkaloid.
Another variety is the officinalis, the bark Of
WHICH, - huOWu DIS CTOWu DdTk. OGuer FdT1o-
ties are condamanca and the succirubra. The
last named is rather larger than the others
and more robust and Of quicker growth, but
not so rich in allaloid, though it yields plenty
of bark. These banks are generally known
to commerce as Peruvian bark, though not
cultivated in Peru nor grown there to any
great extent. The trees are planted from
three to four feet apart, and mature in about
six years.
There are three methods of treatment in
cultivation. One is by thinning out, or Sc
Letting the largest trees to be retained. An
other is by coppicing, which is simply cutting
the trees down to a stump and permitting the
shoots to grow. At the harvest these shoots
are cut OFF, Tho third method is called tie
McIvor system, and consists in taking the
bark from part of the matured tree and
messing over the stripped place until the bark
is renewed. If the messing is carefully done
tne bark viii renew itself continually. The
bark is sold at 9 shillings to IS shillings a
pound, and is sold readily, for the supply has
never yet been too great. The cinchona tree
requires q tropical climate and q plentiful
rainfall. 1t would not grow in the United
States, but can be cultivated in Mexico. The
tree requires careful cultivation.

The Tremendous Power Of water.

Reno Gazette.
The properties OF water are only partially
understood by those who have never seen it
under high pressure. The Virginia City
water company gets its supply from Mariotte
lake, on the Tahoe side Of the mountain. It
gets it through by q long tunnel, is then on the
crest of high mountain opposite Mount Da-
wilson, with Washoe valley between. To
cross this valley By lumo would be almost
impossible, SO the water is carried down the
mountain side to the bottom, and crosses I'M
der the v & T. railroad track, on the divide
between Washoe and Eagle valleys, then up
again to the required height in pipes. The
depression created in the line OF carriage is
1,720 feet, and the pressure on the pipes is 800
pounds to the square inch. One pipe is eleven
inches in diameter, and is quarter-inch iron,
lap-welded, and eighteen feet long, with screw
joints. There is little trouble from it; but
the other, which is twelve inches in diameter
and riveted pipe, makes more OF less trouble
all the time The pipe is laid with the seam
down, and whenever crack is made by the
frost or sun warpirg it, or from any other
cause, the stream pours forth with tremend-
ous force.
If the joint is broken open, of course the
whole stream is ioose and goes tearing down
the mountain, but usually the escape is very
small. The break last week was less than
five-eighths of an inch in diameter, and yet
the water in the fume was lowered an inch
and half by it, and the pressure went down
fifteen or twenty pounds. Capt. Cverton
says that fifty inches Of water went through
it. 1t has been probably a year in cutting
out, and was made by little stream hardly
visible to the naked eye that escaped through
G joint and struck the pipe two or three feet
off, eating away the iron until the pressure
inside broke 1t through When such a break
occurs the noise can be heard for half mile,
and the earth shakes for hundreds of feet
around. A break the size of a Uniting
needle viii cut a hole in the pipe in half an
hour. Such breaks arc repaired by putting
a band around the pipe, pouring in moulten
lead, and tamping it in. Such . stream boros
through rock like a sand blast. The flying
water is as hard as iron, and feels rough like
q file to the touch. Tt is impossible to turn it
with the hand, as it tears the flesh off the
bones, and if the fingers are stuck into tue
stream, with the point up, the nails are
instantly turned back and sometimes torn
loose from the flesh.
