BIsMARCK's BUSINESS.
A Plan TO Restore IsmaiI Pasha as

a Plan TO Restore Ismail PashR Rs
Ruler over Egypt.
Bismarck initiated the pressure which
induced the Khedive to refund the 5 per
cent on the Egyptian bonds. The reason
that actuated the Chancellor is said to
have been a desire to see England assume
protectorate over Egypt, with the REIN
statement of Ismail Pasha as ruler. IsmaiI
is acknowledged by nearly every statesman
in Europe to be the only man entirely cap
able of effectually dealing with the Egypt
ian Government. In return for Bismarck's
support for this policy, England is to sup
port Germany's colonization enterprises in
East Africa and elsewhere. 1t would not
be surprising if the present special confer
ence now going on at Berlin between Lord
Rosebery, Lord of the Privy Seal of Eng
land, and Prince Bismarck, who returned
from Schoenhausen specially to meet Lord
Rosebery, have been arranged for the pur-
pose of adjusting the terms of q new An
glo- policy.

STATISTICS furnished by the bureau of
agriculture show why the price of beef
has been sustained in this country
while prices in general have fallen.
During 1884 the decrease in the num-
Der Of cattle in the eastern and south
ern states was O,OOOhead while the
increase in the western states was only
&C 900 head. The actual increase in
the stock of the whole country, if there
was any, must therefore be looked for
in the territories and on the Pacific
slope. At the same time the popula-
ton has been growing and the demand
for beef has been kept up. There has
been an overproduction of wheat and
corn and an underproduction of beef
Farmers are now likely to raise less
cereals and more stock.

A Difficult Catch
from Sporting Life. I

Apropos of attempt of a number of
ball players to catch a ball dropped
from the top of the Washington monu-
ment, and the opinions expressed as to
the ability Of anyone to accomplish
the feat, the question arises if any of
them has an idea Of the velocity &C
quired by a ball dropped from a height
of $50 feet by the time it strikes the
ground.
The experiment was tried by Paul
Hines, Sam Trott, Charlie Snyder,
Phil Baker and others, but none sue
ceeded in holding it.
Now the fact is that a ball so
dropped has a velocity of 1877 feet per
second when it strikes the ground.
This velocity can be better compre-
hended by comparing it with a batted
bail.
The longest hit which the writer has
any knowledge of was made by George
Wright at indianapolis, when the ball
struck the ground a few inches over
200 yards. The ball, in this instance,
was hit into the air at angle of about
45 degrees-the mostfavorite angle for
a long hit.
Without giving the formula, l will
state, as near as can be calculated,
the angle and the distance being given,
the initial velocity OF the ball in this
case is found to be about 100 feet per
second.
Allowing the same ball to have been
hit in the same direction, at the same
angle, with sufficient force to give it
the same velocity at the starting point
that it acquires in falling from the
monument top, it would have gone
544 yards.
Would any of the players like to
take hold of line hit, of the same
force, at short field?
