FOR BOTTLE SHOPPERS.
Something About the Rise of the Cork In
dustry.

Something About the Rise of the Cork Ins
dustry.
The application of cork as bottle.
stopper for liquid vessels is said to be
of great antiquity. The earliest record
eXtant of its use in Europe is that men
toned by Horace, who asserts that the
Romans had cork for shoppers for their
wine amphorae. Certain of the uses of
cork were known to the ancient Greeks
and Egyptians, but whether they used
cork for stopping the mouths of their
liquid vessels history does not say. 1T
was not, however, until the year 176G
that the Spaniards first commenced to
work their cork woods with some de-
gree of regularity for the making of
"corl<s.
Although, perhaps, corlls were more
or less in use from the time glass bot
ties were first invented, which Beck
mann asserts to have been in the tif-
teenth century, yet it was not until
two and half centuries later that the
Spaniards began to prepare cork for
bottle shoppers, which they did in a
forest situated at the northeast of the
Tigueras, on the Muge.
The cork industry has since gradu-
ally risen to be one of the first magni-
tude, its chief center in Spain being be.
ing in Catalonia, where at the present
a population of s,22s persons is EN-
ployed, who in the course of each year
turn out about 1888, 900 hundred-weighi
of cork grown in the provinces, IA,
600 hundred-weight of cork grown in
other provinces, besides 1900 hundred
weight of cork exported from Algeria.
The revenue from the cork industry Oh
Spain amounts to el,073, $50 per annum.

WILL THE OCEANS Day uP9
A Theory That They WIN, Though Not For
Many Ages.

Iheory Ihat They VIII, InOugn NOt 4 or
Many Ages.
This is purely scientific question,
Mt least one requiring an answer from
scientific sources. There seems to be a
modicum of truth in the statement,
perhaps just enough to relieve it from
the charge of boldness or rashness. A
writer in the Manufacturer and Build
err" several years ago addressed himself
to the answering of similar query to
that propounded by ''Theo," and he as
sumed that students of geology were
forced to the conclusion that by nat
ural causes in constant operation the
water of the earth is gradually disap-
pearing, and that in the course of ages
to come it will have entirely disap-
peared. There are two principal causes
for this phenomenon, one the gradual
union of the elements of water with
the various bases and silicates to form
what are called hydrates, compounds
in which the water is chemically bound
in the solid state and second the grad
ual absorption of the water by filtra-
ton through the more or less porous
crust into the deep interior, a process
that must be taking place constantly,
and which in time will be sufficient of
itself to cause the total disappearance
of the surface water of the entire globe.
These considerations seem very plausi-
bic, and it is difficult to contradict
them by argument.
1.-The process of sinking can not pro-
ceed to any great depth until temper
allure will be reached sufficiently high
to vaporize the water, and thus prevent
it's further descent, but the heat thus
impaired to the water will be by it
impaired to adjacent bodies, and its
conduction to the surface and radiation
into space will be thereby slowly, but
surely, affected, and thus the heat of
the earth's interior will be gradually
lessened, and the water from the sur
face will thus be enabled to penetrate
ever deeper and deeper. The density
of the interior mass constituting the
earth is not much greater than that of
granite, and the penetration of the
water therefore would not be greatly
hindered by the density of the interior
mass; but even if the mass were of
much greater density than it is known
to be, the influence of capillary attrac-
ton would suffice to permit of the
soaking of water through masses of ex-
tremely high density. Such consider
ations as those involved in the answer
to this question have only certain
scientific interest. The periods of time
that must elapse before the happening
of the event are so enormously long as
to be quite inconceivable, and ages be-
fore it's contamination the conditions
prevailing on the earth may have be-
come such as to have rendered the eX-
istence of life on our planet impossi-

Passenger Train Wrecked.

MIssoULA, Mont, July 17.-An east.
bound Northern Pacific train, the first
in 16 days, was wrecked today at
q point about five miles east of here.
A dynamite cartridge was concealed
in the track. The engine had barely
struck the spot when terrific explo-
sion was heard, the shock shattering
the pilot and right cylinder and piston
rod, and also broke the windows of
the cab. Had the engine gone fairly
over the cartridge the result would
have been more disastrous, as some
eight coaches constituted the train,
loaded with soldiers and passengers.
There ia considerable feeling here
over the retorn to work of some en-
gineers, aid it is expected that some
one in sympathy with the strikers
adopted this method of lettering fur
Their progress. A trestle three miles
west of here and $50 feet long on the
Ceur d'Alene branch was burned.

Sattley Bank Wrecking Trial.

KANSAS CITY, July lin the Sat.
tley bank wrecking trial today George
Peake, the expert, testified in regard
to the statement of the bank made to
the secretary of state in A pril, 1893.
He swore that on June 2, 1893, shortly
before the bank closed it's doors, OAR
ragh and Sattley, on account of in
debtedness on their notes due, turned
into the bank two notes for 10000
each from the Realty investment
Company. Although the notes we're
made % June 2 they were dsted back
to read February 10, 1898. A credit Of
$4,000 to the Equitable Mortgage
Company, made when the stock of the
company was issued, was manipulated
on the banks books by debiting the
two notes from the Realty Investment
Company for $4,000 each. These
notes were made on July 10, 1893, in
order to give the transaction o show
of color.

ONE RACE FOR VIGILANT
BRITANNIA'S FORESTRY PARTED
DURING THE RACE,
But Vigilant Held Commanding Lead at
the Time and Would Certainly Have
Defeated Britannia Under Favor
able Circumstances.

BELFAST, July 17.-An accident to.
day robbed the American yacht of the
honor of victory which she would
certainly have won over the Prince of
Wales cutter Britannia. That in the
ordinary course of events the Vigilant
would have won there could be no
question for the race had been more
than two-thirds run and the VigilanJ
was in the lead nearly five minutes
when the Britannia's forestry parted
and she was oblighed to drop out,
leaving the American sloopto finish as
she was. The race, which was the
eighth in which the Brittania and the
each other, was for the rear commo-
dore cup, valued at $3.50, with $l25
added by the Royal Ulster Yacht
club, the second yacht to receive SIS.
The course was the one sailed yester-
day. with the mark boats placed as
before, No. / off the club battery, No.
off Carrick Fergus on the Antrim
side, No. 3 off Backhead and No. off
South Bridge. The start was made at
11:12. The yachts carried job headers
and whole mainsails and the rivals
crossed the line beam for beam.
When mark boat No. l was turned
the Vigilant led by l minute,
seconds and at the second turn lad
increased the lead by 45 seconds. At
the third boat the American boat
was minutes, A seconds ahead and
the first round was finished as follows:
Vigilant. 55 IS; Britannia, 2 5S. 20;
Vigilant's lead, 2 minutes. The next
turn added seconds. That the Wig
liant is better sailer in stiff breeze
was demonstrated when she rounded
the last mark. She led the Prince of
wales cutter by minutes and 10
seconds and at the boat off the South
Bridge was 5 minutes and Al seconds
ahead. The time at the conclusion OF
the round was: Vigilant, 2.34.54;
Britannia, 2.40.42. The Britannia had
scarcely headed for the Carrick Fer
gus boat mark on the final round than
she sustained the accident. Captain
Carter received q bad cut on the head
by the fall of some tackle as the Brit.
annals gaff was carried away. The
Vigilant sailed the course home and
reached the Bangor battery boat at
4 1872. IN.

Fifty-Four Strikers Have Been Arrested
and Fifty More Will Be Taken When
Found-Committee of Public
Safety Appointed.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July l7.-Bir'
mingham has been in q fever of ex-
j element today over the attack OF the
g,striking miners on the non'unlon
eimen and deputy sheriffs at Pratt
Amines last night. The air has been
Shick with rumors as to the number
t'of killed and injured, some of the re-
ports placing the list of dead at II and
{the wounded at Is, but from trust
worthy information it is learned that
the list given last night is correct, six
. killed and about Is wounded. 1t is
impossible to secure list of the
wounded on account of the action OF
the rioters in hurriedly taking their
injured from the field and secreting
them.
B. w. Tierce, chief Of the guard.
John Letore, Frenchman.
Anthony Carroll, negro miner.
Three unknown negro non union
miners.
WOUNDED.
The wounded as far as known are:
George Campbell, negro miner,
will die.
Rodrique Roguez, striking miner,
will die.
Caleb Jones, a striking miner.
Phillip Jones, striker.
Barney Anderson, q negro miner.
The indignation of the citizens at
the outrage capped the climax today
when mass meeting was held to de-
nounce the strikers. Strong resolu-
tions were adopted and q committee
on public safety was appointed to ald
the authorities in bringing the guilty
parties to justice. speeches were
made by prominent citizens, in which
the strikers were denounced as bush
whackers and assassins. Governor
Jones was highly praised for his
prompt action in taking steps to sup
press the rebellion.
The mines are guarded by 10 COM
panies of soldiers tonight with orders
to shoot to kill and if another attack
is made the troops will make short
work of the rioters. Fifty.four
strikers were arrested during the day
and 20 more will be arrested before
morning. The prisoners were brought
to this city and are being guarded by
q strong force of deputy sheriffs at the
Jefferson county jail.
Two unsuccessful attempts to burn
the loaded freight cars were made in
the Georgia Pacific yards last night.
One attempt was made to wreck a
passenger train on the Louisville and
Nashville road shortly after midnight
last night. A lock was broken and
the switch turned wrong, but the en-
gineer discovered il in time to save
the lives of the passengers.

in many departments of the art have
long held a pre-eminent position,
should have been debarred so long from
musical degrees is not clear, and the
fact is the more remarkable, inasmuch
as the only lady who at present is a
doctor of music is the Princess of
