Ten Million Car Wheels.

"There are more than 10000, 900
iron car wheels in use on American
railroads , said the master mechanic
of one of he trunk lines, ''and it re-
quires abo 525 pounds of pig iron
to make re wheel. About 1885,
600 wheel are worn out every year,
and the same number of new ones
must b. made to take their places.
The iron men are called upon for
only small proportion of the 312,-
500 tons of material required for
these new wheels, however, for nearly
100000 tons are supplied by the
WORKOUT wheels. Formerly the life
of car wheel was estimated at eight
years, but the reduction of the rail
roads generally to the standard
guage, and the improvements in
loading and unloading facilities,
have materially decreased the length
of service that q wheel may be de
pended on to perform. The uni
formity in guage keeps cars in more
continuous use, while the decrease
in time of loading and unloading
enables them to be put to more ac-
tive service even where they are run
only on short local routes.
"These figures do not include the
wheels on palace coaches and the
better class of passenger coaches.
The wheels on that grade Of rolling
stock are now made almost exclu-
sively of paper. They are as service
able as iron, and combine lightness
with strength, a great desideratum
where speed and economy in motive
power are of paramount Importance.

The Crimson Sunsets Explained.


The reasons given by a writer in
the April Atlantic for supposing
that the crimson sunsets observed
last fall resulted from the .Javanese
volcanic CONFUSION are that they
were first observed at Rodriguez,
Mauritius and Seychelles, points
about three thousand five hundred
miles west, within thirty-six hours
after the event, and later at other
points east and west at distances and
localities which appear to harmonic
with the time required for the vol
canic dust to travel Further, that
in 1888, after an unusual eruption of
Scapa Jokul, it is recorded that the
English skies put on a frery aspect
similar to that which set the world
to wondering last autumn.
To the intimations that the atmos-
pheric matter rejecting the after
glows must have been at a great
height, above the cloud regiOn-as
shown by the lateness and long con
tinuance of the Highland that it
must have taken an enormous power
to force such matter TO such height,
it is answered that as volcanic masses
Of considerable size have been known
to fall four or five miles away from
the crater that emitted them, there
is nodificulty in supposing that there
was force enough in the Javanese
CONFUSION to amount for the neces-
sary distant claimed.
1t is still further held that such
vast clouds of fine, misty matter
lifted high and carried by the prevail
ing currents Of air would account
for the repetition and long contin-
uance of the light. The finer the
particles OF matter in the skies the
slower their fall. And as it is GER
tain that the volcanic vapor dust
sent up to such heights by the erup-
ton in question would linger long in
the upper air and would naturally
reflect the light as seen, science is
settling to this theory as the one
that explains the phenomen. What
the subtitle spiritual meanings Of such
commissions are, if any, only dream
ers like John Ruskin now pretend to
know.

Whe Creepers.

Many years ago there was a re-
igious sect in Ohio and Indiana
known as the Creepers. Says a cor
respondent: "They were so called
because they crawled on their knees
in order to show their humility. In
a certain locality they had a log
church, a portion Of which was used
for a milk-house, and one of their
converts, who afterward recanted,
told me he was crawling around I'M
der the benches toward the altar,
when he took the wrong direction
and upset all the milk Another of
their favorite tenets was to confess
their sins, andif they committed none
they would go and commit one.
A young girl, who has respectable
grandchildren living, some of them
holding public commissions
went in her youth to a distant gran
airy and stole bag of corn and
brought it back home, and then sent
for the injured person to confess it
One old woman crawled q mile anc
a half along the road on her hands
and knees to church"

THE SUN
NEW YORK 1894

About sixty million copies of THE SUN have
gone out of our establishment during the past
twelve months.
If you were to paste end to end all the col
umns of all THE sun printed aud sold last year
you would get continuous strip of interesting
information, common sense wisdom sound
from Printing House square to the top Of
Mount COpernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House square, and then three-Quar-
ters of the way back TO the moon again.
But THE sun is written for the Inhabitants
of the earth; this same strip of intelligence
would girdle the globe twenty-seven or
twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of Tue SUN during
the past year has spent only one hour over it,
and If his wife or his grandfather has spent
another hour, this newspaper in 1888 has af-
fOrded the human race thirteen thousand years
of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these that
you can form any idea of the circulation of the
most popular of American newspapers, or of
its influence on the opinions and actions of
American men and women.
THE sun is, and will continue to be, news
paper which tells the truth without f9ar of
consequences, which gets at the facts no mat
ter how much the process costs, which presents
the news all over the world without waste of
words and in the most readable shape, which
IS working with all ITS heart for the cause of
honest government, and which therefore be-
HeveS that the Republican party must go, and
must go in this coming year of our Lord, 1884.
IT you know THE sun, you like it already,
and you viii read it with accustomed diligence
and profit during what is sure to be the most
/ interesting year IN It's history. II you DO not
know The SUN, it is high time to get into the

FRUIT CULTURE.
\ visit to One Of Delta County's Fruit
Orrha rsls.

Fruit culture is taking strong hold on
the farmers of Delta County and there is
hardly one of them but has his orchard start
ed, some with only few trees, others with
their thousands. So far rs can be judged at
the present time, success viii attend every
one who takes proper care of his trees. In
the great Salt Lake valley frui, raising has
proved immensely profitable. With a simi-
lar soil, climate and altitude, Delta County
can raise fine fruit and much of it, on n
given space, as can be raised in Utah. The
markets right at our doors-Ouray, Red
Mountain, the San Miguel country, the Gun
nison country, Lcadville-all heavy con
sumcrs, with railroad facilities to them all.
We have yc. to hear Of a single failure to
lives Of trees set out under anything like
favorable conditions. and the trees not only
live but make good healthy growth each
year.
Last Saturday we visited the fruit farm of
Rev. l.. c. Alley, and was greatly pleased to
see such thrift in fruit culture. His two
acres of strawberries were doing finely, and
those set last year will bear a bountful har-
vest in n few days. lie has about fifteen va.
rieiies of Strawberries, though his main
lance is on the Wilson Albany, Crescent
and Charles Downing. Here We saw 1000
cnrrants growing nicely in nursery row, aud
comprising six Of the best varieties known.
The raspberries, red and black, cove ring
about five acres will shortly be a source of
rich revenue He is trying many varieties,
but has mainly planted of reds the Turner,
Thwack. Rcliancea and Cuthbert, while of the
black caps, mostly the Gregg. OF black
berries he has fine plat Of the Snyder. He
has more than dozen varieties of the grape,
some Of which will fruit this year. Several
rows Of gooscberrcs were loaded with fruit.
His fruit trees set for family use, comprise
all sorts of fruits, and all in fine condition.
Here are different varieties of cherry, plum,
pear, apple, crab, peach. ounce and apricot,
all thrifty andOome of them bearing fruit.
lie has n thousand upland cranberrics out,
comprising the best varieties. And last we
would mention his nursery OF grated apple,
plum, pear and cherry trees, numbering six
thousand. Truly Mr.. Alley has worked hard
here aud is well pleased with the result.

object the Kidding of this portion of the
