said, however, that he knew oil no notice

The quality OF the hay this season is

dition to- day In which the meadows and
pastures are from Wisconsin to Kansas,
Kansas 10 Nebraska, aud Nebraska TO the
Ohio river, the great majority Of tho farm
ers are Obliged 10 feed new hay, and have
been for moro than twenty days. Prob.
ably never In the history Of this country
have pastures and meadows suffered from
drouth as they have since July A,
In fact they have made no growth
aimee grass was cut, and are practically
as destitute Of feed as in midwintef,
hence 1t will require an unusual amount
oil rain to start them up and put them In
condition for fall feed. The report also
ShowH that the oats crop, generally good,
was reduced somewhat In yield by dry
weather, but like grass, was secured
everywhere In excellent condition,
Up 10 tho fourth OF July the general
corn prospects Of the country east oil
Missouri were exceptionally good. West
Of the Missouri river the corn Bituation
in the States Of Kansas and Nebraska had
been reduced more or less by the dry

RAPID TRANSIT

fAhtef IFnNel'
PrrTsBUReH, Pa, August 1S.-An order
for iron plates was given to one Of our
rolling mills yesterday by John Dough-
erty, Of Mount Union, Pa, for use in an
experiment which is expected to reyolu-
tionise travelling by water. The plates
are to be used by Mr., Doughsrty in con-
strueting the folding paddles for patent
rapid transit steamboat which he Ia able
to build on the Allegheny river.
When completed the boat will make Q
trial trip to New Orleans to prove the
practicability Of Mr., Dougherty's idea,
The boat which Ia to test the usefulness
OF this patent is 70 be So feet wide, 1875
feet long on the water line and l75 or $50
feet long on the deck and will be built en-
tirely Of wood, Its weight, without the
engine, will be about 40 tons, and when II
has on board the engine and 250 passen-
gers its draft OF water will be less than six
Inches. On each side ol 1t will be two
folding paddles, sinking deep into the
water, The paddles will be open when
going forward 60 that they will move the
largest possible body OF water, but the

the agency OF springs, close the paddles
and thus reduce the resistance to mini
mum.
There will also be under the center Of
the vessel two propelling poles, which
are intended to drive the vessel through
shallow water, striking the bottom Of the
river, Mr.. DoughtIty calculates that his
patent will 80 greatly increase the speed
Of the traffic on the river that he will be
able to make the trip from Pittsburgh to
New Orleans and back In q week, the
time now taken by the fastest boats 10
make the round trip to Cincinnati.
The present venture is made on river,
not because the inventor believes that
folding paddles cannot be used on the
ocean, but because he wishes TO make
his frat trial on waters free from waves.
When he has once put his principle sue.
Cessfully into practice he will set to work
to apply 1t to ocean travel. He Is conf
dent that he will be able to reduce
the time occupied in crossing the
Atlantic by the shortest route, that from
Southampton to Halifax, to twenty-fopr
hours and that from New York 10 CAL
