END OF THE LEHIGH STRIKE.
Mutual Concessions from the Omcials
and Employees.

Mutual Con noessions from the Omcials
and Employees.
The Lehigh strike was declared of at day
light on the 9th. Both side made concessions.
The correspondence which led to tho ter
mination Of the strike was made public
Tuesday morning, after Chairman Mcdonald
and Judge Robinson of tho arbitration
boards returned from their last conference
with the Lehlgh officials.
In a letter to President Wilbur they asked
the following: II the existing strike was de-
clared of will the Lehigh Valley company
agree to take back as many OF their old en-
ployes as they have places for without any
prejudice on account of the strike or the fact
they nre members of labor organization
In rc-employIng men formerly in Its service
the available time shall be so divided among
the men SO re-employed that they may feel
they are again In the service Of the company
and self-supporting; that In making promo
tlons hereafter the company will make no
distinction as between men now in Its employ
and those so re-employed on account of
seniority In service or otherwise; that when
In tho employ Of the road committees from
the various clusses of the employees from the
branch of service in which the aggrleved
party Is employed shall be received and their
grievances considered and Justly treated; and
that In employing men in the future the COM
pany Will give the preference to former en-
ploycs when the strike Is decided off,
President Wilbur In reply said: 1.-THE Lc-
high Valley Railroad Company agrees to the
suggestions made, and in the event of the
strike being declared of will abide by them.
We recognize and willingly respond to your
modification of our former understanding
that the available time may be divided be-
tween the men re-employcd so they may have
some certain source Of support"

SIZE OF THE PACIFIC.
It Covers More Than Third of tho
Earth's Arca.


The Pacific ocean may be reclt oned
to include 6S. 00o. 0)0 square miles, or
more than one-third OF the total area
of the earth's surface. 1t extends
through nearly 1875 degrees OF lati-
tude, or three-eighths of the worlds
circurlference-a stretch OF 5000
miles from north to south. From east
to west it varics from an even great
er length to less than fifty miles If
confined by the smallest possible
length of boundary line, il would
form n round pond $500 miles in di-
ameter.
The deepest sounding made by the
Challenger expedition was in the
Pacific. between the Carolines and the
Ladrones, and was 4,475 fathoms, or
26,S5O feet; greater depth than tho
height of any mountain in the world
except three. A still deeper sound
ing was made from the United States
ship Tuscaora, of 4. 800 fathoms (27,-
600 feeD, at the entrance OF the sea
of Okhotsli; this being probably the
deepest reliable sounding ever made.
Tho Pacific ocean has not been ex-
plored nearly so thoroughly as the
Atlantic. according to Longman's
Magazine. and generalizations OF the
comparatively few statistics available
may be subject to considerable in
accuracy; but putting together the
recorded soundings, and taking into
account an estimate OF the depth
based upon the swiftness OF the tide
wave, it seems probable that the
average depth Of the Pacific may
safely be put at 5000 fathoms (1s,-
900 feet), or nearly three and one
half miles. This gives the entire con-
tents of the Pacific as nearly 232. o0o,-
00) cubic miles.
Some conception of one cubic mile
may be got from the statement that,
II we had block OF buildings OF
that size, it would take an hour to
walk around it at II good pace. and
fairly easy staircase to the top OF it
would contain 10000 steps, while
thirteen cathedrals as high as St
Paul's could be piled up on one
another without reaching to the top.
The cubic contents expressed in
feet is thirty-four trillions Chirty-
four million million.) This is
number it Is not easy to realtzei 1t
is 80 great that II million clocks
licked once second for a million
years their combined tickings would
not amount to it. As each cubic
foot of water weighs over sixty-two
pounds, the weight OF the Pacific Is
over 2.00D trillion pounds. or $780,
900, 900, 900, 900, 900 tons.

Denfno.. C.nno. He Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only
one way to cure Deafness and that is by con-
stltutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intlamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube ie
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflnmed condition Of the mucous sur

American Tea Growing.

An experiment at tea growing was
made in North Carolina last season
Tho result was the harvesting of 15C
pounds of superior leaves A more
elaborate plantation has been grown
this season, and, from present indica-
tions, the results will show much bet
ter. 1t was grown from seeds obtain
ed from the American consuls in
China. Enough has been accomplish
ed to demonstrate that superior
article can be grown in this country,
The plant is suited to many sections OF
the West, and we hope to see some Of
our irrigation farmers try the business.
Tea plants may be grown either from
seeds or cuttings. Many of the
Chinese varieties and most of the As
sam hybrids develop into luxuriant
plants in this country. The yield for
1892, under high cultivation, was
equal to that of the best Indian gar
dens of the same age. The rate of
production OF well manured garden
OF 800 plants, at six years of age, is
reckoned at from $50 to 500 pounds
1t is probable that the profit can never
be OF any consequence, except in pick
ing the small, young leaves, used in the
manufacture Of high-grade teas. This
is prevented by the Asiatic cheap
labor where tea pickers work for from
SIX to eleven cents per day.
Only the Assam varieties have been
tested at the Pinchurst plantation, but
the Chinese plants will bear this sea-
son. The outlook is good for at least
l60 acres being planted and a first
quality Of tea being harvested. Bot,
its value as a crop for profit remains to
be demonstrated 1t is thought that
by hiring women and children at very
low wages to pick the leaves, the in.
dustry can be made success. This is
of course not advisable.
