A Hotel Ont at Sea.

New YORK, May 31.-Mr. g. M.
Coen, of Union Square, has scheme
for putting an island somewhere out
in the Atlantic Ocean, near enough
to New York to afford a handy spot
for the tired business man, yet far
enough away to make it seem really
isolated. Appropriately, the new
place is to be called Atlantis, and it
is to stand on piles made of steel
cylinders Of great diameter filled
with cement. The island will be Il
miles ont from the Long Island
coast. Mr.. Coen acknowledges that
it will be expensive-some S2,OOOOOO
or 3,OOO,OO0-but he thinks that
when it is put there it will stay.
The money is already, MIR. Coen says
further, and operations will begin at
once.
There are plenty of spots along
the coast where there is only from
200 to 500 feet of water. Atlantis
will be built purely for pleasure, a re-
sort where you can go for day or
week or the season, drink in the pure
ocean breezes, and not get sea sick.
The first building will be pavilion
built In the form OF square, TWO
stories high in the main and three IN
the towers. The building will be
400 feet square, constructed entirely
of steel, iron, glass and thing, and 1T
is designed to be entirely fire proof.
The main floor of the building will
be elevated about 80 feet above the
level of the sea. The lower floor is
designed to accommodate 10000 PEG
pie, and the galleries about 1000
more. An esplanade or roof garden
will be on top, in which 5000 people
can be seated. There will be In 9th
err parts of the building 100 large
rooms for hotel accommodation.
The engineers who have projected
the island are Captain r D. Evans,
of the United States Navy; j. Q.
Mcclure and Captain Howard Pat
tersOn.

Floating Wrecks.

Captain Heath, a transatlantic
skipper, says -" A large volume
might be written upon the subject
of ocean derelicts; they float hither
and thither over the surface of the
sea and seem to be guided by some
invisible hand along the same
paths pursued by vessels with in
telligence at their rudders. The
best instance I know of, showing
the longevity of the derelicts, and
the immense amount of travel they
indulge in, was that of the James
town. When the Jeanette relief
expedition was at Reykavik, the
capital of Iceland. in 1881, dere-
lict deliberately fioated right into
the harbor and up to the wharf. 1t
was made fast by the natives, who
discovered that 1T was stored with
yellow pine. The cargo was in an
excellent state of preservation, and
the Icelanders were naturally de-
lighted, for they believed that they
had lumber sufficient to last them
for twenty-five years. Their hap.
piness was short-lived, however,
for, after the wood was unloaded
and piled up. the Danish
Government stepped in and con-
fiscated the whole business and
started lumber yard of it's own.
A member of the Jeanette expedi-
ton, upon his return to this coun-
try, made inquiries regarding the
jamestown, and it was learned be-
yond any question or doubt, that
the vessel had been loaded with
lumber in Pensacola, Fla in 1865 !;
that her crew had been compelled
to desert her shortly afterward, in
the midst Of a great storm and
that for for sixteen years she had
been floating at the mercy of the
elements, to finally bring up in the
Arctic seas."-Exchange.

Cultivation of Wild Blackberries.

On our farm was piece of land
nearly ten acres in extent, saws
Farmers Home. 1t was light, sandy
soil, and the readiness with which
briars sprang UP all over it indicated
favorable conditions for wild black
berries. The land was of little real
value, and not needed for regular
field crops, as the rest of the farm
took about all our time to cultivate it.
Besides we are getting more and more
to believe in intensive farming, and
instead of increasing the acreage
under cultivation we are decreasing it..
Our location is near large markets, but
there is little sale for the land The
question what to do with these ten
acres of sandy land, overrun with
blackberry vines, puzzled us for many
years, but finally we decided to turn
it to some profit BILE use. The black
berry vines were the largest wi d
sorts, very early and sweet, and
we began to cultivate them as
much as possible; that is, we thinned
them out in places, and trans
planted roots to other parts of the
field. The vines that failed to produce
any berries in places were rooted up
and others put there. In this way the
whole ten acres were soon one mass of
blackberry vines. The result Of this
venture has been that tons of black.
berries have been picked from the
field every summer. The vines are
loaded down with large, luscious ber-
ries that find a ready sale in the mar
ket, especially as great deal of the
fruit ripens earlier than the large cul-
tivated varieties. We never heard of
raising wild blackberries for market,
but as the boys in the neighbor.
hood always made money in pick
ing them wherever they could
find them, we concluded that there
must be some money in them. We
have not regretted our experiment.
The returns from the field every
season are large, more than paying
10 per cent interest on the cost of the
land, and our wages daily during the
picking season. AS the land is al
most worthless for general farming,
we see no better use to which we can
put it.

A Very Flexible Thing.

The Democrats of South Carolina
met in state convention, looked over
the political situation and then boldly
declared for free and unlimited coin
age of silver. At the same time they
refused to indorse the administration
of Grover Cleveland, and indeed, could
be restrained from denouncing it only
by the most Industrious efforts OF the
anti-Tillman leaders.
The Democrats of Ohio met in SINH.
lar convention, also surveyed the po-
litical field, and declared for the free
and unlimited coinage Of the white
metal. But except upon the silver
issue they cordially indorsed likewise
and statesmanlike" course Of the oc.
cupant of the White house.
What flexible thing the Democrat,

soaklnc Corn for Feed.

The Kansas agricultural college has
just issued bulletin AZ, which gives a
full report on their tests to find out if
it pays to soak corn for fattening
steers. Ten grade Shorthorns were
used in the test, five being fed partly
on unsoaked corn, and the others a
like amount of soaked corn. Two lots
OF hogs ran with them, to utilize the
undigested corn, and their gain was
also taken into account The results
were summarized as follows:
WILL IT PAY TO SOAK coRNp
Whether the answer to this question
will be a yes or a no will depend upon
circumstances. The foregoing facts
prove that steers get more out of
soaked corn than they do of dry corn,
and that the reverse is true of the
hogs which follow. 1t will not pay to
soak corn whenever it is necessary to
take the precaution against freezing
that we were obliged to take in this
experiment, nor is it likely to pay if
it involves more extra labor than can
be done by the regular force in charge
of the cattle. But when a feeder is so
situated that the corn can be soaked
at slight expense, this experiment
would indicate that it is profita BILE
practice, at least during mild weather
In conclusion, the facts brought to
light by this experiment may be sum-
married. as follows:
l. The five steers fed on soaked
shelled corn gained a total of 1852
pounds in $50 days on 2S2 bushels of
corn, while the five steers fed on dry
corn gained a total of only 1,46S
pounds on 200 bushels of corn.
2. The steers fed on soaked corn,
owing to their better condition,
brought higher price in the marke
than the steers fed on dry corn Bal
ancing both cost of feed and market
value of the two lots, there is differ
ence of $25. so in favor of the soaking
of the corn.
3. The hogs following the steers
fed on soaked corn made total gain
of 635 pounds, while the logs follow
ing the dry-corn fed steers made a
total gain Of TAT pounds This makes
a difference of S. So in favor of the
hogs following the dry-corn steers
4. Based on the foregoing figures,
it will pay to soak corn if it can be
soaked for cents, or less, bushel.
