4 Story Of Intsxnational Interest.
In the Seychelles Islands, northwest
Of Madagascar, there was lately a Gu
rious monument consisting Of q square
Of granite with . turtle. some 1eurs-de-
1ys, and the word Seychelles carved
upon 1t. which the French creoles call:
ed the pierre de possession Its ORR
gin IL unknown, hut It 10 supposed to
have been q mark Of occupation net up
by the French before they were driven
out by the English, who now own the
islands, A short time ago the monu-
ment disappeared, and ON investiga-
ton 1t was found that It had been car
ried OF to France by the inspector
general Of the French. troops In NADIA,
gascar, who had visited the Seychelles
Archipelago and who intended to give
the stone to the Cluny Museum. The
British oficials telegraphed to have
It returned and It IL now ON its way
back. The British residents in the Is
lands look on the incident as hint
that France has mott orgotten that she
once owned the archipelago, aud that
she may try to get It back in the course
1T her madagascar enterprise. Maize,
the capital, is the nearest telegraph sta
ton to the French posts Of Diego Sua-

THE POWER or RAIN.

No Coed Plan Has Yet Been Breught
Forward to Utilise Il.
A Philadelphia engineer has figured
out that inch Of rain, falling upon
nm area Of one square mile, is equiva-
lent to nearly 17,500,O0O gallons, weigh
Ing 145,2O0,O00 pounds, or q, COO tons.
Assuming this water to have fallen
from clouds about haM mile, or, say
1900 feet above the earth, we have for
the energy represented by It about g.
900 horsepower. With pumping ma
chinery working at the low rate Of
consumption Of 2 pounds of coal per
horsepower per hour, 1t would take 200
gross tons Of coal to raise the winter
represented by one inch Of rain IN a
square mile to tho assumed height Of
1900 feet. As q matter Of fact, rain
often falls from clouds which are ut
much greater height than 5000 feet
above the ground, 30 that the figures
just given are quite conservative ones.
With all the talk that there has been
about utilizing waste energies, It seems
just q little peculiar that no promising
scheme has yet been evolved to turn to
good account the pfodigious power
waste which thus far has been shown
to 80 ON with every rainfall Of any ac-
count. And yet, while writing, prof.
ect comes to my mind which was
advanced about ten years ago, nrpar-
emily in good faith, by some enterpris-
ing genius in the West indies, to &C.
complish exactN this saying. Whit
he proposed to do was to conduct the
water from each roof, during keavy
tropical storms, into q main pipe sup
plying small turbine coupled to q dy-
namo. The electricity no developed BY
passing showers was to be stored In
accumulators, and these, as they be
came charged In variable times, de-
pending, Of course, on the rainfall, were
to be collected and stored at central
Eiepots, rom Which the power was af.
terwarl to be distributed. Unfortu-
nately, however. this enticing scheme
did not materiaifze, 80 that the field Is

Sell EARLY and Avoid ShFinkage.
Farmers who hold their crops for
higher prices do not always consider
the shrinkage which many products
undergo, 80 that the advance in prices,
IL 1t comes, Is often counterbalanced
by loss In quantity from various causes.
A farmer last autumn on Long Island,
as an experiment, put in storage
warehouse one hundred bushels of po-
tatoes which weighed sixty pounds to
the bushcl. In April he weighed the
same potat0es before sorting out those
which had become unsalable. and found
TINT he had cighty-three bushels. Tx
animation showed that many of the
tuben which had been large enough
to sell in the autumn wa.e now too
small to sell, and, besides this, some
were rotting, 50 that when these were
taken out he had seventy-eight bushels
to sell instead. Of one hundred. This
was a loss Of % per cent in quantity,
besides the cartage. he could have
saved II he had sold the potatoes from
the field, not to speak of the interest
of his money for six lnonths.--Garden
