THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD.

Oliver Dalrymple states that he
will put in $1,000 acres of crops next
season in Dakota.
A large whale fishery is being
established on the west end of Van
couver Island, British Columbia.
Farmers of Kansas say that the
acreage of fall wheat will be greater
this year than ever before in the history
of the State.
There are zoos, 907 farms in the
United States. Illinois having the larg;
est number, 255, TAI, and Rhode Island
the smallest, 6.216.
Labor is in demand in shops and
mills supplying railway appliances.
The railroad companies are the heaviest
buyers of products of iron and steel
and lumber, and their orders at the
present time are at least double the
volume at any preceding date Pitts
burgh Post.
The invention of the valve motion
for the steam engine is credited to 4
bow. The power loom was the inven-
ton of a farmers boy who had never
seen factory and had no tools but a
jack-knife, and whose father broke up
the first model he made.
Persons who are undertaking to
raise carp in artificial ponds must be
careful to keep other kinds of fish as
well as aquatic animals and turtles out
of them. During the past summer the
young carp in many places have been
destroyed by the above named crea-
lures. I Chicago Times.
Peanuts of good size and quality
wsre raised this year in New York,
Ohio and Southern Michigan. The
yield was not as large as in the South
ern States, and there is little promise
that the crop will be paying one for
the market. Still, it is likely that in q
few years the boys on most northern
farms will raise their own peanuts

"A large building has just been
completed near the Housatonic track,
in Canaan, Conn, for the manufacture
of granulated milk. This is a new pro-

Ellin, the milk being preserved in
granules appearing not unlike white
granulated sugar. This is the first

Two of the largest castings in the
world are said to be at Nara and Kam-
akura, Japan. the one at the latter
place being forty-seven feet high, and
the other at Nara being fifty-three and
three-fourths feet from the base to the
crown of its head. The statue at Nara
is supposed to have been erected in the
eighth century, but it was destroyed
and recast 700 years ago. In endeav-
oring to recast it several mishaps oc-
Cured. and when at last success came,
some thousand tons of charcoal had
been used.
"A new metal, called by the inven-
tor, Albert Assman, of Railway, N. j.,
"Assayme, is produced by special
treatment of tin. 1t has all the good
qualities of tha latter, can be pressed
into any shape, or cast into statuary,
or used for plate ware of any descrip-
ton. A beautiful bronze color can be
given to the metal, or any shade from
bronze to a silver color; and as it does
not in the least coprode, it is specially
valuable as a silver solder. 1t melts at
temperature of 432 degrees, or eigh-
teen degrees less than tin.

/, pu SUICIDE IN SAxONY.
Esting Statistics and Suggestions in
selatiOn to the Suicidal Mania.

Tsting Statistics and Suggestions in
selation to the Suicidal Mania
Germans are fond of representing the
Fatherland as a country of content
ment, where men accept their lots con-
tentedly and labor industriously as long
as there is light. But somehow, what
ever figures of speech may indicate,
statistics tell a different story The
mercurial land of France is usually
pointed out as bubbling with impa-
tience. Frenchmen are said to be the
most impatient of people with the ills
of life, but it is hard to believe that they
are more restless under its burdens and
trials than are the SaXons. The Saxon
Bureau of Stat sites having recently in
vestigated the grim subject finds that
the number of the Self-slain in 1861 was
643, and in 1885 Las, the rates rising
from 30 in every 100000 to Sc. In
1888 the enormous number of l ,2O5 de-
spondent Saxons shuifled off this mortal
coil These figures are the more start
ling when it is remembered that SaXony
is a small country, having something
over 8, 200, 900 inhabitants. The Saxon
statistic ans find that there are many
misconceptions as to the influence of
the weather upon the mind. Thus
during the spring and summer, from
March to August, 1885, 5S7 suicides out
of 1000 occurred. The months usually
denominated gloomy sect fewer suicides
than during the season when Nature is at
her fairest. AS large proportion of
Saxons are jewellers in towns, the eX-
PLANTATION may be that during the win
ter, amusements, social gayeties and the
hundred and one occupations for the
mind which these afford keep it from
the melancholy broodngs that impel
to self-destruction. Forbes Winslow
found on investigation that November
was not, contrary to the general i'm
preston, the favorite month of En-
glishmen suicidally inclined. The pub
lie shrinks from the subject of suicide
and shuns the result of investigation,
but many statisticians hold that self
slaughter is increasing out of q pro-
portion to the growth of population.
While many causes are assigned for
this increase, there can be little reason
W uOuDb LliG ~ 10 LIdCOdUlC, w IL OOh-
siderable degree, to the decline of re-
ligious faith among classes who once
found in it consolation for their sui
fering. Occasionally noble mind
like Romilly's may totter and give way,
OF deeply religi Gus nature like Cow
per's may, under the torturing sense
of sinfulness, be so shaken as to con-
template self destruction, but as a rule
it is safe to say that few persons with a
strong sense of moral responsibility
and duty, and an active belief in the
immortality of the soul and accounta-
billy to God, ever seek death Ma
poleon in his early manhood contem-
plated suicide, and again when his en-
pire crumbled around him, but at St.
Helena he truly said thatitwas courage
GUS to endure. Life has hard ships for
every one. Many sink under them,
but of those who fall wearied out on
the march, or struck down in the COM
bat, one can not but think with more
esteem than of those who kill them
selves to avoid the enemy. Boston

AGREES WITH US.

Commodore Woodman returned from
Chicago night before last where he had
been a couple of weeks on business. While
in the city he met and talked with several OF
Chicago's most prominent capitalists. That
these gentlemen know all about Wichita
goes without saying, but that some of the
most solid ones expressed tie belief that
Wichita is the coming great city of the
southwest before whose coming, as well as
present, importance Kansas City is not the
only town that need feel goneness, was at
least Aattering. The commodore came up
to say that he most heartily endorsed our
conclusions and expressions made in the
EAGLE touching the addition question "
He thought the effect had been wholesome.
He also agrees with the EAGLE that 1886
will be memorable year in the history Of
Wichita's growth.
