UNCLE SANS BIG FARM.

Wasting Away Rapidly In Spite of the
Efforts to Guard Against Fraud.
! In his annual report submitted to the
secretary of the interior Judge Lewis A.
Croft, the commissioner of the general
land Office, states that an agricultural
domain of nearly 10000, 900 acres-a do
main almost equal to the aggregate area
of the states of New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
New Jersey-has during the year been
/ transferred to enterprising and indus
trious settlers by patents issued to them,
while the areas patented to the states
under the swamp grant and to corpora
tions under special grants have been
great, although somewhat reduced as
lcompared with previous years.
h AT the same time the area of coal and
mineral lands patented has been greatly
increased over that of the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1899, thus tending to the
development of our immense deposits of
local and metals of every grade. The
area patented to the states under the
grants for educational and internal I'M
provement purposes has increased 300
sper cent. This completed work, as
shown by the facts and figures con-
stained in this report, indicating in
creased population, increased coal and
Emineral development and increased edu-
Ecational development and resources, are

In conversation with n gentleman who
is great authority on ice matters we
were informed that it was surprising
how many parties ON the Kennebec would
be heavy losers on the ice which they
put up last winter. 1t is stated that there
has been but one sale of ice made in this
section for six weeks, and that at a
heavy loss to the seller 1t is also an as
sured fact that ice will not be cent
higher than it is at the present time.
"Why," said prominent ice man Tues
day, 81 wouldn't give fifty cents ton
for all the stack ice could buy. If
had it on my hands l don't know Of a
single place where could sell it without
losing money, and, in fact, don't think
could dispose of it at any rate"
1t has developed that there has been
Biore ice put up on Lake Champlain and
the other Vermont lakes than people in
Maine had any idea or conception Of.
To this reason is attributed the present
state of the ice market. Hotels in large
cities are putting in machines that will
make ice enough for their own daily use,
and this is also making a big difference
in the sale. 1.-The man who sold his ice
early in the season for 81 ton was a
winner, but the man who kept his ice
for larger price is the loser, and will
do well if he can get his ice carried off
free of all further expense" said another
ice authority. This saying will take in
the whole case in a nutshell

Cheap Wall Street Lunches.

With the fall weather the Hamburger
sausage has made its appearance in Wall
street. The junior clerks and messenger
boys who work in that section of the
city patronize street lunches extensively
In summer fruit, cake and sandwiches
seem to be very popular, but with the
cooler temperature the sausages attain
great vogue. They are dispensed from
steamers in which they are kept hot,
and are served in these long, narrow
rolls, with, if the purchaser desires, a
dash of mustard. And really they are
very good. have noticed that they are
bought by men who evidently are not
forced to get them on the score of
economy, and the number carried away
by Office boys when they have finished
their own is somewhat striking New

Electric Elevated RAILWAYS.

The action of Boston in essaying to eff
feet on an elevated railway the same
successful and profitable developments
of electrical traction which it has ac-
complished on its surface lines is re-
garded with much interest by electri-
clans all over the country. One of the
greatest objections to elevated railways
has always been the use of steam loco
motives, with their disagreeable accom-
paniments of noise and smoke and Gin
ders.
With the heavy locomotives, too, re-
quired for steam traction a very cum
brous structure was needed, but with
the use of electric cars lighter and more
ornamental construction can be adopted.
This new departure of Boston seems
likely to inaugurate in city travel an era
long desired. 1t is now mentioned as a
fact that mile an hour better time is
made in Boston by the surface electric
cars than in New York by the steam
cars of the elevated roads.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The Target Too Temptinc.

A bad negro, Will Hayes by name,
was brought in from Apopka ON Mon
day night with his anatomy full of buck;
shot. The people of West Apopka havc
been troubled for some time past by
petty burglaries, and on Sunday nigh
another house was entered, and early
Monday morning a party set out in par.
suit of the criminal and soon came II
to his camp fire in the Doublerun swamp
The negro had eaten his breakfast and
had gone off short distance to sleep
The party scattered, and seon the festive
William was observed by one of the
party making off into the swamp on all
tours. The target proved too enticing
for the hunter, who sent load of shot
after the receding form, ten of which
took effect, and he was captured. AT
first it was supposed that he was mortal
ly hurt, but at present writing he is con-
sidered out of danger and is under the
protecting care of Sheriff Galloway

From various parts of Bavaria come
alarming news of the destructive raw
ages of the nun moth For a couple of
centuries or more the forests on the con-
hnent have been attacked by this pest
at long intervals; but never, it would
seem, with more disastrous results than
at present. The forest department of
the ministry of finance reports that the
plague extends over nearly all Bavaria
south of the Danube, and so great is the
fertility of the insect that no measures
of destruction are of any avail. 1t at
tacks chiefly the pine and fir with which
Bavarian forests abound, but does not
despise the beech, oak and other forest
trees, and is even known to feed on
shrubs and garden plants.
1t never attacks corn or wheat, and
there is one tree it will not touch, name
/ ly, the horse chestnut. The means of
| destruction are various. Forest bontires
are one. The insects are attracted by
the fire and are smothered in the smoke,
but only comparatively small number
are killed. Children and boys are also
sent out to destroy the insects. But the
only Tedlly ehlClehO Seueih Lieaoule
seems to be the cutting down of whole
forests when much invested. One other
method is used by the state, but is moi
within the reach of communes. A large
electric light is placed in the forest 10y
night. This attracts hundreds of thou
sands of "nonnen" to the mouth of s
large funnel through which a rapid ex
haust current of air is forced, sucking il
the insects by thousands into hole un
der the earth, where they are buried

Antics of a Crippled Pigeon.

, The denizens of lower Broadway are
daily treated to novel sight. There
are a number of pigeons which live upon
the wharfboat, but they fly up 90 Broad
way and Front and pick seeds, grains of
corn and such pichngs as birds love
and the market people leave.
Among the flock is a black pigeon
which has no legs. Its mode of picking
up seeds is very odd. The bird alights
on its breast, and seeing anything it
wants rolls or wallows over to it and
picks it up. 1t is fat, and does not ap-
pear to be suffering for want of food.
1t has been captured several times, and
those who have handled the bird declare
that there was no indication that ii ever
had any legs. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Low burn the leaf fires of the year,
And dun each failing ember;
But by their ashes, heaped and scar,
Awhile we stand days most dear
Ahi vanished days-remember.
Old loves and friendships fine and sweet
Fair ghosts, they linger near us
within the sunshine pale they meet
And down the leafless air they fleet
The loves that still can cheer us.
Ali scar the fields beneath our gaze,
And suns have lost their splendor
But still around the russell ways,
The sun--the while-of ''other days"
Bestows its luster tender.
