There ID demand for q comprehensive and

farmer, and set forth his condition, the inhu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects

Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected TO the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed

SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer In various
parts Of the country, and compares il with the
condition of men in other callingS. He carefully
examines the cost Of labor, Of living, the prices
Of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates Of interest.
lie gives elaborate tables showing the increaSs
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms Of business, and he compares
this with the earnings Of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In q clear, forciblO
style, with abundant citations Of facts and Ag-
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
bis present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pms
entaion Of the aims and views Of the FETmGFs'
Alliance that has been published, including fall
discussions Of tho currency, the questions Of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters Of vital consequence.

may seem strange, and the result Of

as the minimum when it was taken

at the crib, which would ordinarily
be so far below the surface as to be
out Of the reach of frost, are now
within the freezing area. 1t would
be too much TO say the evil could not
have been prevented with due care.
The fact is, the condition was so
novel that il seems not to have been
fully anticipated, though some trou
BILE was looked for, and the force Of
fifteen men at the two-mile crib was
recently doubled as precautionary
measure. Snow and ice accumulated
near the openings and on a level
with them, and was then carried in
side, blocking up the apertures faster
than it could be cleared away.
Tugs and fireboats loaded with ice
cutters and divers were hurried out
through the frozen lake to remove
the distractions. Fortunately the
milder weather that set in did not
produce such large quantities of fresh
ice as to increase the difficulty, and

Should the armies Of the United
States finally engage the Chilians, the
veterans of '60-'6l will be startled at
seeing the stars and bars once more
opposing them in a desperate strug-
gle.
The resemblance between the old
standard Of the Confederacy and the

ent and real.
The Southerners at first fioated in

1t is stated, as illustrating their
destructive power, that these guns
throw shell weighing six pourds
four times minute, these shells be-
ing filled with high explosives, and
having a range Of three miles. At
the range Of mile their effect on the
decks of thickly peopled man-of-war
would be simply terrific.
The Miantonomohs complement
during her cruise consisted Of eleven
officers and 1872 men, but only five Of
these officers and sixteen men were
required in the actual working Of both
batteries; the guns and turrets are
worked by hydraulic machinery-the
guns are depressed, loaded, elevated
and run out, and the turrets turned
by machinery, and the firing is done
by an electric battery. The shots
from the great guns were not fired at
any target, but merely sent over the
water at slight elevation of the
guns, the object being to test the re-
coil. Twenty shots in all were fired
from the great guns in the turrets.
The Driggs-Schroede aud Hotchkiss
rapid-flring guns were fired from the
hurricane deck, the elevated structure
between the two turrets, and the re-
volving cannon were worked in the
military mast tops.

TESTING BIG GUNS.
Recent Trial of Those on Our New Iron

Recent Trial of Those on Our New Iron
clad Monitor.
The recent test of the big ten-inch
guns Of the double-turreted ironclad
monitor Miantonomah attracted great
attention in naval circles, and seems
to have been satisfactory so far as
definite results were reached. The
tests were made in Gardeners Bay,
where there is clear range Of over
ten miles, and were at first somewhat
interfered with by rough, unfavorable
weather. The trial was the more in
teresting from the fact that it was
the first time in the history Of the
navy that immense rifles like those
mounted on the Miantonomah had
ever been fired on coast-defense
vessel.
There are four of the ten-inch guns,
three of which were made in England
and one in Bethlehem, Pa. The Beth
lehem gun, which is mounted in the
after turret, is one foot shorter than
the English guns, but has the same
caliber as the others. The difference,
however, Of foot in the length of the
gun makes a difference Of one ton in
It's weight as compared with the 9th

seven tons, and the Bethlehem gun
weighs only twenty-six.

Michigan's State building will be

classic style and has been treated
freely. The structure will be two
stories high, occupying ground area
Of 80 by 120 feet. A main porch
leads to the grand entrance, from
which the visitor passes through an
arched vestibule. On one side Of the
vestibule is the Office of the Secretary
Of the State Board, and on the other
side are arranged check rooms, post
Office, club rooms, reception apart

haps the main features of the first
floor are the recessed loggias that are
so arranged as to form secluded re-

on the first floor. One OF these is

TWAS A DRY DAY.

Chicago's Water supply Cut or for Over
Eight Hours.
Chicago went dry one day recently.
With her 1900 saloons and body of
water like Lake Michigan in close
proximity, the statement may seem
somewhat remarkable, but it Is true
nevertheless. 1t Is now more than
twenty years since Chicago had like
experience. The great fire crippled
the water-works and for several days
the usual supply was entirely cut off.
Since then there have been temporary
interruptions OF flow, and at times
the citizens were called on TO be
economical, but the supply was never
so nearly exhausted as Il was last
week. The consequences were in
many cases dcplorable, in others
laughable. Many establishments were
forced to shut down for want of the
water wherewith to make steam, and
at least one explosion was reported as
q direct result Of the inadequate sup
ply. The hotels and restaurants
found IL impossible TO meet the bib
ulous and lavatory requirements Of
their patrons, hundreds Of residents
had to go without coffee for break
fast and use snow water for washing,
II they washed at all.
