Spectators for some weeks have been
buying up whisky and storing it away, in
anticipation OF an increase Of the whisky
tax by the next congress. It Is said by the
Washington correspondent of the New York
Recorder that an increase OF the tax has
been practically determined upon in case it
should be found necessary to increase the
revenues of the government, and that IT is
very likely the ways and means committee
Of the current congress may recommend
such an increase at the present session. II
this information should prove correct,
those who bought whisky aud stored It in
cellars would stand a good chance of
making neat sum, for the stuff, with an
increased tax on it. would be worth its
present price plus the tax and the value
that age gives whisky. IL there should be
no increase of the tax, why. then, the
spectators might drink their stock and
feel just as good as il they had won mil
lions on 10.

Cotton and the Nicaragua Canal.

From the Netc Orleans f'iedyune (Dem.)
According to recent information there is in
progress in Japan an important development of
cotton manufacturing. while 1t is also true that
cotton mills are steadily increasing in China as
we'll it is, therefore, more than probable that
before many years are past both China and
Japan viii become important consumers OF raw
cotton. In such an event the proposed Mica
ragua canal would enable the south TO supply
the major part Of this demand for raw ma

harsh word-than the case itself. Neither

Philadelphia firm has produced an lin

what is claimed for IL. will be welcomed by
people who have to pay heavy gas or cleo
trio hight bills every month. The heat
needed to produce the new light, according
to description, is furnished by an ordinary
jet of gas with which two volumes of sir
has been mixed, producing hot. blue
flame. Over this fame is slipped slim
conical wrapper" not unlike candle
extinguisher. This wrapper is made Of
extremely delicate open lace work of cot
ton thread which has been dipped In secret
preparation which renders it incom bustible.
1t is instantly heated to white heat in the
flame and gives out beautiful clear light
which can hardly be distinguished from
that Of an electric Incandescent lamp, ex-
cept that it Is brighter and whittier. The
amount Of gas consumed is said to be about
one-third the amount used by the ordinary
6-foot burner. 1t is remarkable how much
attention is being paid TO lighting these
days, aud what wonderful results follow
that attention.

An Interesting Exhibit at the World
Fair

One of the most attractive and
interesting exhibits at the Worlds
Fair is that of the Keystone Watch
Case Co., of Philadelphia, which
enjoys the unique distinction of be-
ing the largest watch case manu-
featuring concern in the world.
The exhibit is centrally located in
Section 0, Block 1, of the Manu-
facturers and Liberal Arts Build
ing, on the main or Columb ia aisle.
The booth is designed and finished
on scale of richness that admira-
bly, harmonizes with the goods ex-
hibited. A pavilion classically pro-
portioned, quantity carved, and
finished in ivory and gold, forms
an imposing background; while
the showcases, with their lavishly
expensive finish, are a fitting re-
pository for their glittering con-
tents. Every possible description
of watch case is numerously illus
trated, and in variety of designs
that reveals the limitless ingenuity
of the modern gold-worker.
The enormous factories of this
company occupy an entire block
of ground in the Quaker City, give
employment to 1900 individuals,
and have an output of about 1000
watch cases per day! The entire
resources of this concern are con-
fined to the manufacture of cases
only, just as the entire resources
of the Elgin and Waltham facto-
ries are limited to the manufacture
of movements only. Not a few of
our readers may learn now for the
first time that the case and works
of the watches in their pockets are
made in different factories, having
no connection whatever with one
another case manufacture and
movement manufacture being en-
tirely distinct industries. The
Keystone cases are made by ma
chinery of the most complicated
character, much of which was in
vented by and is the exclusive
property of this company. They
are also the sole proprietors of
many well-known patents, the now
world-famed thief-proof Non-pull
out Bow being one &C the most
valued. All their products, the
best known of which are the popu-
lar Jas. Boss Filled Cases, are
handled by our local jewelers..
Besides watch cases the exhibit
has many special features that are
as instructive as curious. One Of

line, the use of mixed coal-dus
and atmospheric air in moter en-
gines to devolve mechanical power.
Such mixtures burn with explosive
violence and produce in an engine
cylinder an effect entirely analogous
to similar explosions in gas engines.
The production of ashes by the
combustion is difficulty which
has to be overcome; but it is said
that the distinguished experiment
talist expresses entire confidence
that the removal of the ashes can
be practically accomplished, and
that, while in the use of coal for
generating steam, only a small part
of the heat can be converted into
power, the direct use of fuel in an
engine cylinder may result in the
of perhaps 80 per cent
of the mechanical equivalent of the
heat. 1t would seem that the pre-
vention of cylinder and valve cut
ting from the pressure of gritty
matter always present in coal ashes
would be a most difficult problem
to solve in carrying out the pro-
posed scheme, and that anything
like good fabrication of the work.
ing parts in and connected directly
with the cylinder would scarcely be
possible. If Herr Krupp should
succeed in mastering these and
other practical difficulties that will
readily suggest themselves to
mechanical mind, he will add much
to the honor in which, as a me-
chanical engineer, inventor and
business organizer, his name is now
held through the world.-Ex.

George"
His mother called to him sharp
ly.
"Ya-a-as," drawled the boy.
II want you to go over into the
grove and get me long, straight
pole for the clothes-line. Do you
hear?"
"Ya-a-as."
And if you come back without
it I'll skin you alive! Do you hear
that"
"Ya-a-as.'
He walked lazily away, whistling
as he went, and his retreating form
was lost to view in the thick shad-
ows of the wood that skirted the
premises.
His mother sat on the kitchen
steps, waiting for his return, and
the sun sank lower and lower, and
the melancholy note of the whip
poorwill sounded through the still
air and the stars came out one by
one and twinkled feebly,
And the boy came not.
Twenty-eight years passed with
their burden of JOY and sorrow,
their melting touch beneath which
golden heads ripened into gray and
the full, rounded cheek of rosy
youth paled and grew furrowed
with care, and the light of hope
died out of the eager, sparkling
eyes that watched the seasons come
and go.

a man past the prime of life, foot

searching for some familiar land
mark. Finally he stopped in front
