THE SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
It's Completion Will Depress the
Price of Grain.

U. S. Consul General Jonas at
ST. Petersburg, in a report to the
Department of State, points to the
fact that the early completion Of
the Siberian railroad is likely to
have depressing effect upon the
prices Of grain throughout the
world. No reliable estimate can
be formed of the probable export
of Siberian grain to Europe by this
road, and one rough estimate,
placing it at six million bushels
for the west Siberian section, is re-
garded as decidedly too low.
Moreover, the completion of the
road is expected to greatly stimu-
late the planting of grain in the
black soil belt, famous for its fertil-
ity. In 1889 the Siberian govern
ment produced surplus of 10000
600 bushels of grain.
To lesson the depressing effect of
the local ST. Petersburg market of
the expected thrush of Siberian
wheat, a new outlet is being pro-
vided by a line of railroad from
Perm, already connected with
Western Siberia, to Kottas on the
Dvina river, offering an easy
waterway to Archangel on the
White Sea. where the wheat can be
exported to other European coun-
tries.-American Exchange.

COalinS at Sea.

An interesting trial was recently
made at Malta with Captain
Thomson's system for coaling yes
sells a. sea. and with entirely salts
factory results. The gunboats Dee
and Don were sent out of harbor
for the purpose, and the coal trans
ferred from one vessel to the other.
Only four hundred weight of coal
was hoisted at a time, and so
speedily were the bags transported
that the ten tons were transshipped
in an hour. The time taken to
hoist four hundred-weight from the
deck of the Don to the top of the
mast, UNLOCK and hook on the
jackstay block and lower on to the
deck of the Dee was calculated to
be about one minute and a half.
With larger vessels, stronger ap-
paratus and more labor, it was es-
timated that 20 tons an hour could
be transshipped from a GOLFERS
hold. The sea was somewhat
rough during the trial, but not
sufficiently so to interfere with the
work, and it is reported that
further experiments on larger
scale are to be carried out with the
apparatus, which is exceedingly
simple and can be improvised from
almost any vessels stores and
spare gear.-Marine Engineer.

was due to the fact that, as the

ONlMNEYS m ENGLAND.


Thew Were Not IN use There BAssrs ths
Twelfth Century.
There does not appear to be any evi-
dence Of the use of chimney shafts In
England prior to the twelfth century.
In Rochester castle, which Is In all
probability the work OF w. Corbyle,
about 1880, there are complete fro.
places with semicircular backs, and .
shaft in each joint supporting semi
circular arch over the opening, which
is enriched with zigzag molding;
some of these project slightly from the
wall. The flucs, however. go only
few feet up in the thickness OF the
wall, and are turned at the back. this

At Castle Rockingham, Essex. which IA
about the same date, there are fire.
places and chimneys Of similar kind.
A few years later the improvement Of
carrying the flue up through the whole
height Of the wall appears, as at Christ
church, Hants: the keep at Newcastle;
Sherborne castle, Dorsetshire; Conis-
borough castle, Yorkshire, and Boothby
Pagnell, Lincolnshire. T.c early chim-
ney shafts are of considerable height
and circular. afterward they assume q
great variety Of forms, and during the
fourteenth century they are frequent
ly extremely short. Previous to the
sixteenth century the shaft Is often
short, and not tunfrequently terminated
by spire or pinnacle, usually of rath'
CIR low proportions, having aperturet
of various forms, under and sometimes

There are also taller shafts Of varioui
forms-square, octangular or circular
--surmounted with a cornice, forming
q sort of capital, the smoke issuing
from the top. Clustered chimney shafts

OLD PLAYMATeS.

A Pleasing Story of . Celebrated French
Sportsman.
The author Of Modern Hunting" in
La Nouvelle Revue, tells a pleasing
story Of one Of the oldest and most cell
ebrateo sportsmen of France, Prince
de Joinville. The prince is perhaps
the "senior member" of hunting soci-
ETY. in this country. He was hunting
In the Chantilly forest. as the guest Of
Due dAumale.
His party met another party which
was following deer In the same for
est, and some disorder resulted. The
prince lost track of the animal that he
was following, but he took the disap-
pointment philosophically, and set out
to find the deer again.
On the way he was stopped by an old
wkite-haired peasant, who told him
that the deer he was following had
passed by there recently. The son Of
Louis Philippe asked some simple
question, but as the old peasant replied
ne looked at him keenly, seeming to
pay more attention to him than to his
words. Suddenly he stopped him.
"Waitl 1t seems to me that know
you, friend" he exclaimed.
Eyes. sir" replied the peasant, In his
old, cracked voice, which shook with
emotion. "Oh, yes, we have often
eaten cakes at 'Auntie Adelaide's.'"
It was sixty years since they had
been children together, but the varied
experiences of that time had not made
the prince forget his old playmate and
servitor. and he delayed his quest for

KEYS IN THE EAST.


Their Great Dulk Ccrresponds - In

In the History Of Nineveh, and IT'S

description Of, perhaps, the oldest lock
ever discovered, says Hardware. II
was usel In securing the gate Of the
apartms mt in one Of the palaces Of
Khorsabhad. lE describing this
ancient piece Of hsrdwaxe--if such
terms may be applied to wooden locks
--he says: "At the end Of the chamber,
Just behind the first bulls, was former
ly strong wooden gate, Of one leaf,
which was fastened by q large wooden
lock, like those still used In the east,
Of which the key Is rs much as man

that the prophet probably alludes.
And the key Of the house Of David

remarkable that the word for key in
this passage Of Scripture, 'muftah,' is
the same in use all over the east at the
present time. The key Of an ordinary
street door Is commonly thirteen or
fourteen inches long; and the key Of
the gate of public building or Of q

drawing back Of the bolt removed by
raising up so many iron pins that fall
down into holes in the bar or bolt cor
responding to the peg in the key"
This description, and others of cor
robatory character, prove that this
form Of lock and key was in use In
Egypt four or Ave thousand years
during which extended period of time
It does not appear to have undergone
any successful changes.

KING COTTON At HOME.
Brilliant Appearance Of q Field Of Cote

Brilliant Appearance Of Field Of CottsA
A field of cotton in June Is like q
to the Blue and Gray, its bloom resem-
bles the hollyhocls, and has the re-
marlsable peculiarity of changing its
color from hour to hour. When it first
opens it is pale straw color: in o few
hours it is pure white; later it is
family pink, and next morning rose
color. The flower is succeeded by q
triangular pod, containing in three
cells the seeds in three locks of white
down which burst forth when the pod
opens. The length and the fineness Of
this fiber, or staple" as it is called,
determines the grade of the cotton.
The ''sea island" or long stapled COT
ton is grown on the upland. The best
cotton in the world is grown on Edisto
island, south of Charleston; the staple
of this is nearly two inches long.
Seen under q microscope. the cotton
fibers are ribbon shaped. and not
straight like fax. but twisted some
thing like corlsscrew. The best sea
island cotton is in beautiful spiral
springs that lend themselves readily to
spinning. This cotton is used only in
the manufacture of the most delicate
fabrics; in England single pound Of
1t has been wrought into one thousand
and twenty-six miles of thread.
1t was at first thought that compress
sion would injure the staple of the
cotton; that the fiber would be broken
off short. or the spiral screw. so neces-
sary to good spinning. be crushed fiat.
But it was demonstrated by expert
ment that, SO far from 'injuring the
staple, it seemed to preserve it, and
since then the great desire of tho cot
ton shippers has been to get machine
to compress the cotton as much as pos.
