A Singular Story.

In a public address delivered in
Pittsburg few days ago, Rev. DIR.
Sheldrake, of Kentucky, related
these singular stories: There was
a member of the Kentucky presby-
terry, whom ] knew very well. who
frequently went into sort of walk.
ing sleep While in this condition
he would preach most eloquent SER
mons, but when he came out he
could not remember word that he
had said. On one occasion a copy of
the French testament was handed to
him to conduct family worship at
the house of a well-known citizen OF
Frankfort. Although utterly ignorant
of the French language, he read a
chapter and then commented there
on at length in English. On another
occasion, while in this condition, he
remarked to his friends that cer-
tain minister in Nebraska was in
trouble, and that he had just written
letter to Kentucky detailing the
circumstances. He then proceeded
to give the contents of the letter,
and his words were taken down by
some one present. Two days later
the letter arrived from Nebraska,
and it was identical, word for word,
with the one the minister had die
tated while in the walking sleep"
The speaker cited these instances to
show the life OF the soul independent
of the body, and argued therefrom
the immortality of the former.

soon found in the greater amount of
air and sun the end trees received, and
the more extended feeding ground for
the roots.
Nowadays the tendency among pro-
gressive growers is to plant a single
row of trees around a field. and a
double row directly across the center
of the field. This gives each tree the
advantages formerly possessed by the
end trees alone. 1t also makes the
orchard less dispersed than it would be
if the center double row were omitted,
and offers facilities for cultivating and
gathering the fruit as speedily as
possible 1t would seem as though the
days for painting trees in blocks were
past, and that old-fashioned orchards
were doomed

The Largest Farm in the World.

The Dalrymple farm near Fargo, N.
D., is generally reckoned the largest
farm in the world, containing, as it
does, 10000 acres under cultivation;
but there is one in Argentina which
had &c, 72J acres in wheat alone last
year. 1t is owned by an Italian who
was sent out by his government few
years ago as an assisted emigrant'
The wonderful growth of the wheat
industry in Argentina is shown by the
fact that in 1850 12O, 600 acres were un
der cultivation, which produced 80 =
600 tons of wheat; in 1850, 100, 900
acres produced 10000 tons; in 1870,
24o, 900 acres produced 60, 900 tons; in
1880, 49O,O acres produced 100, 200
tons; in 1890, $500, 600 acres produced
900, 600 TONS and in 1898, 6,10O, 600

CUBE ICE A NEW WRINKLE.
Lumps In All Sizes From Half Ounce Up
Frozen to Order.

Lumps In All Sizes From a Half Ounce Up
Frozen to- order.
An ingenious apparatus for the man
ufacture of ''cube ice" is an invention
recently exhibited in London. The
machine is simple one, in which
blocks of pure artificial ice are
placed, emerging in the same but
stronger shape and possessing some
peculiar characteristics. When tap
ped with an ice chisel or even PEN
knife, they break up into cubes OF
convenient size, instead of shattersHg
into irregular and ill-assorteG Jumps
The invention is of hygienic impor-
lance, too, for the machine also
stamps plainly on each of the sym
metrical cubes the trademark of the
maker Thus the consumer is pro-
tected by this .name-blown-in-the
bottle" device, the stamp being
a guarantee of the purity OF the arti-
Gle and it's origin. The invention
has also the virtue of economy, as
there is no waste from broken ice
and the cubes are symmetrical and
attractive. The Lancet thus ex-
plains the invention:
In the course of some experiments
Mr.. Wander Weyde observed that ice
at temperature below freezing
point, when newly cut and left in
contact, adhered so strongly that it
would not break in the same place,
whereas when exposed to warmer
temperature it would split at the
originally cut places with great
ease; and so, with this extended
knowledge of the interesting phe-
nomenon Of regulation, first brought
to light by Faraday and afterward
studied by Tyndall, Mr.. Wander
Weyde developed his invention as
the outcome Of It's practical applica-
zion The phenomenon of regulation
is the result Of the action of capillary
force ut the boundaries of the film
OF water which connects the pieces
placed in contact, producing an Of
feet equivalent to attraction between
them just as two plates OF clean
glass with a film of water between
them seem to adhere. Ice being wet
by water, the boundary OF the con-
Meeting film is concave. and this con-
cavity implies a diminutlon of pres
sure in the interior. The film ac-
cordingly exerts upon the ice pres
sure less than atmosphere, and as
the remote sides Of the blocks are
exposed to atmospheric pressure
there is reluctant force urging
them together and producing stress
at the small surface OF contact
Melting of the ice therefore occurs
at the places OF contact and the cold
thus evolved freezes at al iacent por-
tions of the water film, which, being
at less than atmospheric pressure,
will begin to freeze at temperature
little above the normal freezing
point. 1t is necessary to allow the
block to warm" for a short time, so
that the cement" of ice loses it's
previously tenacious hold upon the
small cubes into which the block is
divided. Then, after this warming
up process, the cubes are as easily
separated as postage stamps from a
perforated sheet A siXteen-pould
block of ice, for instance, can easily
be divided into 512 half-ounce cubes,
or a thirty-two-pound block into 5l1
one ounce cubes.

The Modern Orchard.

A change has come over public
opinion. The thick setting of trees in
orchards has been largely abandoned
and wide planting is the general prac-
tice. Such excellent results have been
obtained from the change that many
progressive farmers have gone still
further. Observing that the trees at
the ends of the orchard were always
the most fourishing, they naturally
set to work to discover the cause for
the difference. The explanation was

To Render Cruisers Invisible.

Germany's naval experts have de-
cided that the best color to paint their
cruisers and torpedo boats, in order to
make them as difficult of observation
as possible, is a dirty kind of buff.
They recommend that the whole of
the vessels should be uniformly coated
with this color, and that nothing on
their decks or upper works should
contrast with it.

We hoist to-day the names OF hon.
Francis G.. Newlands, for Member of
Congress, and Hon. John E. Jones
for Governor, benevlng that their
election will benefit the State in
greater degree than will the success
OF either of their opponents.
Hon. Francis G. Newiands is, be.
yond doubt, the best equipped man in
the State to fight Nevada's battle for
the free coinage of silver in the halls
Of Congress. He is able, earnest and
honest, and has given freely Of his
time and means 10 advance the one
great interest of this State. His tri-
umphant reelection will be notice to
the money powers Of the East that the
people of the Silver State are earnest
in their fight for the free and unlimit-
ed coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 16
to 1.
Hon. John E. Jones has faithfully
served the people of this State in the
office of Surveyor-Genera and his
record there is sure guarantee that
the duties of Governor will be honest
ly and faithfully performed. No
cliques or rings will dictate his Off
cial acts. Honest and faithful in the
past, earnest and true in the silver
cause. the people. of Nevada can
make no mistake in promoting him to
the chief magistrecy of the State.
For the reasons given above and
for the further reason that neither Of
the Democratic candidates for Con-
gresham or Governor can possibly be
elected in the present condition of
that party, and preferring the success
OF Newlands and Jones to that of Bar
tine and Cleveland, the INDEPENDENT
will throw what influence it possesses
in this campaign in favor of the sill
yer party nominees for Congress and
Governor.

to the rights and liberties of the peo-

economy should not influence the peo-
pie of Nevada to place themselves and
their liberties in the hands of a de-
signing Chief Justice. Better by far
that they tax themselves and retain
the purity and integrity of the court
OF last resort than by adopting this
amendment rid themselves of taxation
and place their property and liberty
in the hands of corrupt Judge.
The only safe course for the people
is to go to the polls on election day and
vote down the amendment to Sec. 2
Article VI of the State Constitution.
