TEE ORCHARD AS ORIGINALLY PLANTED.
has been successful both in original
planting and by afterward reducing the
number in obtaining symmetrical Or
chards. The apple trees are planted "a
feet apart. When from this nearness
the branches begin to touch each other,
they are reduced in number to "a feet
apart.
In the first cut is represented the
orchard as planted and growing in its
earlier years, with trees "a feet apart.
In Fig. 2 the dotted trees are those
which are removed, leaving the remain
ing ones 81 feet apart and running dag
onally. Where this experiment has
been successfully performed it has been
found that in few years after the thin
ming the fruit would be both more
abundant and better in quality in CON
sequence of allowing more room for it's
growth and development. In the
earlier years Of this orchard, while there
are larger number of trees to feed, it
is important that an annual top dressing
Of manure be given to compensate for
the increased exhaustion of the soil. A
mode sometimes proposed and adopted
for thinning orchard trees is to take out
every alternate tree in both directions,
leaving only one-fourth to remain, but

Many investments will go into Iiq-
uidation. When we consider that
hardly $500 head is the property of
our American society, the outlay of
500 to visit the fair is beyond the
means of an enormous number of our
people. The railroad rates from the
east to the fair are in Che neighborhood
Of $50, and this leaves but $40 out Of
the hundred to enjoy the entertain-
ment. The railroads seem not to have
grasped their opportunity sufficiently.
They have allowed the beautiful and
conamodious station in the grounds to
go unused, and have hauled their pas
sengers, with faulty that is remark
able, six miles from the exhibition,
leaving them to find their way out
there as they can. Yet the weather
has not been favorable during the
month of May, while our. American So
ciety is accustomed to the heat of sum-
mer, and all that portion of the people
who live in the hot belt will appre-
ciate the comparative cool of jackson
park and of Chicago. How imperfect
even the criticism of the fair has been
is patent to all The exhibits have
been very little examined and esti-
mated. Most of the journalism up to
the present time has concerned Sun
day opening, juries of awards, the
amount of gate money, and such other
non-essentials as affect the main thing
but little, which is an exhibition of the
worlds civilization and an object les
son to ourselves, to take hold of those
things which are good and important
to our land, our homes. our govern
ment and our minds.

The COW ooy OF the rast.

The cowboys Of picture and story ex-
listed in the brilliant days. At first they
had come from Texas, but in the zenith
of their romantic glory they came from
everywhere and from every class. They
included young Englishmen, college
graduates from heeast, well born Amer
icans-all sorts who did not s'strike luck"
at anything else and who were full of
vim and love of adventure. They got $40
month and good keep during the great
er part Of each year. They rode good
horses that had as much Of the devil in
them as the boys themselves. They
bought hand stamped Cheyenne saddles
and California bits that were as ornate
as jewelry and stuck their feet in grand
tapaseros, OF hooded stirrups, richly Or
namented, padded with lambs wool, and
each as big as a fire hat. Their spurs
were fit for grandees. their ''ropes." or
lariafs, were selected with more care
than circus tightrope, and their big
broad felt sombreros cost more than the

as placing standard and dwarf pear trees

The city of Chicago has shown, on
the whole, strong contributing
power to sustain an exhibition of this
kind, and up to the present time the
great suburban multitude has not put
in an appearance here. The farmers,
who are the dominant class, in the
northwest, are putting in their crops,
and when these are gathered, in mid
summer there, there will be a great
pilgrimage to the fair. Meantime, Chi
cago has sent her fifty Thousand visi-
tors a day with regularity to the show.
That which has been against the ex-
hibition more than anything else up to
the present time has been the highly
marked prices of board and lodging in
the city. Unlike an old town, with set
tied habits, Chicago has been building
her lodging places coincident with the
fair, and has indulged in extravagant
ideas OF riches and profita

The Water Spiders Air Bubble.

The water spider, which spends most
OF its time under water, carries a bub-
bic of air for breathing on the under
side OF its body; and when this air is
exhausted. it comes to the surface for
more; It is enabled to carry the air
bubble because the under side of it's
body is covered with tiny hairs set so
close together that the surface film OF
the water does not pass them, although
the air does, and thus the sir is irnpris-
oned among the hairs.

Catching a Big shark.

l was vne of the crew Of the British bark
Active, which was surveying the west coast
of Africa from Possession island to Cape
Cross. We had been at work in Hottentot
bay, on the coast Of Hottentot land. for
three or four days, when monster shark
was seen cruising around the vessel We
had just finished dinner, and every
body crowded to the port rail to get
sight of the big fish We had men
aboard who had sailed every sea, but
no one had ever seen a shark like this.
He had come straight in from the ocean,
and he made three circles around the bark
and then took up position just off her
starboard quarter and only 10 feet away,
rs if to wait for something to happen. No
one put his length at less than 90 feet, and
his spread of jaws would have enabled him
to take in common -four barrel.
l do not believe that one sailor in twenty
has ever seen shark out of water. While
it Is not much OF a trick to hook one it is
great deal Of trouble to get big fellow on
deck, and the killing Of him creates bad
muss. For this reason few captains will
allow hook to be put out. In this case,
however, the fish was of such bulk that his
presence would be menace to quarter
boat pulling about the bay, and the cap
tain ordered the second mate to superin-
tend his capture A shark hook which l
believe no draft horse could have broken
by steady pull was baited and flung over
on the opposite side. It had scarcely
touched the water when the shark sank
from sight, passed under the keel of the
bark, and next instant there was cry
that he had taken the hook. He started
straight out for sea s,s fast as he could go,
and when brought up at the end of 200 feet
Of line the ''snub' shot him out of water
half his length.
1t took just 55 minutes to get the fish
alongside so that a bovine could be slipped
down over his head. It took seven men to
'"play" him. A dozen times over he dragged
them six or eight feet along the deck as he
made a IRISH. and several times he preached
his full lsngth above the surface. AS many

upon him with sharp axes and made IN
end Of him. He measured 81 feet lacking
an inch. He bad seven rows of teeth in his
jaws, and when we pried them open it was
seen that a barrel had plenty of room be-
tween them.
