Trial of a Dynamite Gun

One ofthe fifteen inch d, Mantle
guns was tested at Sandy Hook,
August 10Th. The gun is SO feet long.
After firing three dummies. two
shells loaded with 300 pounds Of
high explosive were fred SO as to
drop In the main ship canal. A
slight noise like q whistle was the
sound made in firing. When the
pr0jectiles struck the water, a dash
or spray was visible, moment
afterward the shell exploded,
throwing up water and sand to the
height of four hundred feet. The
concussion Of the explosion could
be plainly felt on the shore and on
vessels In the vicinity. Sandy Hook
is being provided with gun lifts
and breech loading ,nortars, which
in addition to the dynamite guns
would make it we'll nigh impossi-
l,le for u hostile vessel to enter the
harbor. All ships provided they
are of any considerable draft must
necessarily pass within three miles
of Sandy Hook and therefore di-
rectly under the guns located at
that place.-Scientifc American.

Too Much Land.

There are but few farmers who
have less land than they can prop
erly cultivate. The endeavor to
utilize too much land causes the
farmer to spread his manure oyer
a larger surface than should be the
case, the consequence being that he
pei forms more work thtn is neces-
snry to secure larger crops ON less
area. The average production Of
wheat and c0rn is not one-fifth
what II should be, and-snore land ia
used than Ia required, which en-
Tails greater expense proportion
nteIy, and y corresponding diminu-
tion 0f profit In proportion to capi-
tai invested and the number OF an
lmals and implements kept.

CROP CONDITIONS,

Northern Section: Great progress
has been made IN sowing wheat,
and 1t Is about completed in many
Counties. The acreage will be con-
siderably below an average. lsuins
have been abundant, and tempera-
ture high. Grasses have grown with
spring-like rapidity, and pasturage
is plentiful; feeding has become un-
necessary, and stock is improved
andimproving. Corn cutting is well
along, and the fodder secured of
good quality. Feed for winter will
lie more plentiful than anticipated
The yield of corn il below average
somewhat hut is better than exl ect-
ed before cutting. Potatoes are
not yielding well, being of small
size; rains benefited late some be-
ing reported as setting for IL second
crop; largely, however the crop has
been dug. Tobacco yielding fairly
and of good quality. Apples are still
dropping badly and being made
into cider; winter apples will be
scarce; other fruits have been plen-
tiful, as also melons. Cabbage and
tomatoes reported we'll. Turnips
and all root crops are improved.
New clover Is growing finely.
Middle Section: The weather of
the past week was all that could
be desired for plowing and seeding.
Numerous rains fell, which put the
ground in fine working condition,
enabling farmers to break consid-
erable ground and vigorously push
the seeding OF wheat. Some early
sown wheat is coming up and looks
nice and green. All vegetation has
taken on a better tone; everything
being freshened up. Pasture and
meadows have been benefited very
much, also gardens when not to
far gone. Corn cutting continues; !;
considerable being in shock. Some
correspondents report the prospects
for corn better than at firt antici-
pated. Potatoes are nearly all dug;
the crop being light. Glover seed
has been all cut in some counties,
while in others the cutting has only
commenced. Tobacco is nearly all
cut; the crop being light and of an
inferior quality. Peach crop nearly
exhausted in some localities. while
tho other fruits have improved
some from the rains.
Southern Section: Good rains
fell generally over the section dur
ing the week. Tho fine growing
weather has improved the clover
and fall pasture, which now give a
good prospect. The early sown
wheat is coming up finely and MAX
ing a good appearance. Barley is
bel G sown largely over the west
ern counties. Turnips are making
a good growth since the rains.
Corn cutting is we'll advanced, ex-
cept over q few extreme southern
counties, where it is still green ;
some cut green has been damaged
slightly in the shocks by the rains
and heat. The corn land is mostly
being placed in wheat and barly as
rapidly as possible. Late garden
truck is doing nicely. Buckwheat
is very poor. Some rye has been
sown. Tobacco has been mostly
cut; some late has improved rapid
ly during the week; the tobacco is
generally better than was expected.
Stock is generally in good condi-
ton, with water plentiful. Glover
seed yield reported was mostly
poor. Sorghum give fair yield.
Melons continue abundant. APP
pie are falling off; most winter ap-
! Piles being on the ground.

DR.. Worlev IS . brother of Senator
Morley of this place and his family

Florence Eva Craig was born'in
Staunton, OHIO. Dec. 24th. 1858.
She was married to DI. j. l.. Wor-
ley, July II, 1881. Four children
were born to them; Ella aged ~;
Willie, aged 8; Jane aged ., and an
infant son.
She died Sunday, May 6. 1891.
Eva Crng was converted in 1872,
and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church mt Stanton Mt
that time. Subsequently, upon the
removal of her parents to this place
she joined the Methodist church
here by letter, and has since that
time continued to be memb Der.
Conversion to the ordinary per-
son means much.
TO her it meant simply acknowl-
edging allegiance to her Maker. and
putting herself in the avowed posi-
ton of a Christian.
Her extreme conscientiousnes to
duty to others was a marked char
acteristic, and her charity IN over
looking the short comIngs of others
exhibited in all its beauty that
chiefest Christian grace-she died
without an enemy.
Desire and effort for intellectual
development were strong with her.
and In so far as her exacting duties
rs wife and mother permitted she
was PERSISTENT in reading the books
that would leave good results in
their perusal.
Lake TO her was serious and the
passing moments precious. Her
devotion to husband and children
ut all times and under all circum.
stances was unceasing. No woman
was ever more completely absorb
ed in her husbands life. His work
was her work in sympathy. and self
was obliterated in her devotion to
him.
Her complete forgetfulness OF
self in her interest for others was
frequently manifested during her
last sickness.
Months before her death she felt
that her time on earth was short.
and her preparation for it was per-
feet.
Her desire 10 live for her hus-
band and children was great but
her resignation was complete.
As the shadows durkend around
her she manifested that peace of
mind and submission to the will Of
the Creator that fittingly completes
and closes the career Of perfect
life.

4 BLOW AT WEATHER PROPHETS

WAsHINGToN, d. c., May Il.
In the House to-day several amend
ments TO the agricultural appro-
priauon bill were passed, among
them one providing THAT persons
who should knowingly publish any
false weather forecast or warning
should be fined in ~ sum not ex.
ceeding $500 or imprisonment not
exceeding ninety bays, or both
An amendment was also adopted
authorizing the Secretary OF AsII-
culture to inquire las to the icasi
6Illty OF displaying weather signals

the above is intended for Hicks or
our own Peter X. Smith and If the
latter, we consider it blow at u

as likely TO ruin u home market for

retired, and first thing in the morn

that some euvfous or jealous cuss

prognosticator, has complained to
the Weather Bureau on account of
the bad weather we have been hay
ing, or about the fruit all being
