Since the Umbria broke her shaft in
midocean and had to limp slowly into
port in her disabled condition the bright
idea has occurred to an electrician that
it would be well for all ocean steamers
to carry an assortment of electrical tools
with which to mend breaks. All steam
ers have electric lighting machinery. 1t
would be easy to add to this the attach
ments necessary for working tools by
electricity. Holes could be bored by the
electrical drill rapidly, and other tools
could be fastened firmly to handles or
holders and used in any part Of a vessel
in a place SO small that a man could not
work in it. The current could be sent
to any part of the ship and work doue
in a few hours hat would require days
with the use of hand tools.

Mor1d,s rain Food produets.

In the agricultural department of the
Columbian exposition the American will
see ranged side by side the displays of
the great nations that are our rivals in
food production and wool growing. The
exhibit is most significant on that ac-
count. Our chief rivals we find to be
Australia and Russia. The greater part
Of the Australian space at the fair has
been occupied by New South Wales.
Such a quarSity of wool was never be-
fore seen in the same shape. Bales Of
wool are built up into an immense pa
vilion, and inside this house of wool are
displayed the agricultural products of
the Australasian colonies. But it is
Australian wool and meat that will ap-
pear steadily in competition with oursi in
the worlds markets in the coming years.
The Russian agricultural exhibit is
composed largely of wheat-wheat in
every shape in which artistic design can
arrange it. The grain is of excellent
quality, esteemed rather more highly
than ours in Europe. Russia is becoming
more and more civilized; her fields are
coming under more general and superior
cultivation. Russia is henceforth to
give us a hard chase in the bread fur
nishing business. 1t will be well for
American farmers to realize this and di-
versify their crops, especially since not
only Russia but India and Egypt have
joined the ranks Of the wheat producing
countries.
Canada rivals us in the cheesemaking
industry. AT the fair is a tremendous
Canadian cheese weighing &c, 900 pounds,
SO heavy that the floor of the Agricul-
tural building had to be strengthened to
bear it. Ten thousand cows gave the
milk that made this cheese, the largest
that ever was, probably that ever will
be. So Canada calls attention to her
great and growing dairy industry. Not
so much in the line of rivalry at present
come the chief displays of some other
nations, though with the new products
with which our agricultural stations are
constantly experimenting it is impossi-
BILE to say what cannot be grown in our
country. Brazil shows her hand as the
worlds greatest coffee producer. France
and Germany stand pre-eminent in the
production of beet sugar, and our little
beet sugar show is nothing compared to
theirs in the exposition. But there are a
few articles wherein the United States
stands first and always will. These are
Indian corn, cotton, tobacco and sugar
cane.

HOW Newspapcrs should Re Rum,

A number of estimable gentlemen
have been at it again, telling newspaper
editors how they should run their jour
nails. Frequently rise your people whose
mission it is to reform the press. Some
times it is a professional reformer, some
times q minister, sometimes a ladies'
club. Most of them pursue the same
methods. They set in first and berate
the public press as the vilest sinner.
They MARBLE their WARDS about the pub
LEGATION of crime and scandal, the publ
cation of divorce trials, the giving Of so
much space to racing and sporting news.
Just SO. Doubtless these things are
Objectionable from the standpoint of the
great press purifier who stands outside
and never had anything to do with the
publication of a newspaper in his life.
But we are not proud, and we are will
ing to enlighten even q kicker. There
fore we pause a moment from our
weightier labors to give a word of advice
to the person who wants to reform the
press. 1t is this: Reform your people
who support the press. Newspaper pub
fishers are in the business to make a liv-
ing. They give the public exactly what
it wants and will pay for. When a gro
GERS customer wants a bottle Of prime
old rum, the grocer does not try to force
on him a bottle of mineral water because
it is more promotive of the cause of tenn
perance, does he? If the ideal newspa-
per were to be started tomorrow, it
would never get beyond a second num-
Der. The public would destroy the
presses and mob the editor out of town.
The ideal newspaper will follow the ad-
vent of the ideal people who call for it.

In the manufacture of all malt liquors
Dne of the most important elements of
success is knowledge of the exact amount
of acidity in the materials at every stage
of the process. \ single mistake may
result in the loss of thousands of dollars.
Electricity has come to the brewers as
sistance in this matter and enabled him
to gauge every stage accurately. Anna
chine arranged on the principle of the
voltaic pile is plunged into the ferment-
ed liquid. The acid reacts on the pile
and produces an electrical current. A
galvanometer attached registers the
strength of the current, consequently
the amount of acidity in the beer.

The election campaign in Ohio this
fall will be on tariff lines-the McKin-
ley bill versus the resolution declaring
the tariff a fraud. James I. Neal, the
author of the tariff plank which was
ignored by Cleveland, has been named
for Governor, and lie will have a hard
fight in a State already Republican.
The platform declares for free coiuage
of silver, and a repeal of the prohibitory
10 per cent. tax on State bank issues.
Altogether the Democracy of Ohio will
be pretty thoroughly handicapped in
in their fight. Neither candidate nor
platfotm is likely to win for them the

The Democrats of Ohio epitomize
the situation in their state platform as
follows: The financial situation is the
unfortunate legacy of Republican ad-
ministration. 1t is the natural result
of the Mckinley tariff, the Sherman
Silver law, extravaganza of the party
lately in power and the creation and
fostering of trusts and corrupt COM
binations by that party, all combining
to shake credit, to create distrust in
the money Of the country and to para
