Natural Food IN Missouri.

Mature provided MS with the best
OF food for every one" said Col. j.
s. Crisp to the corridor man ut the
Laclode, "and we have not preserved
il. If the wild turkeys had been pro-
tected in Missouri, and the hens not
been slaughtered and the young left to
perish, every stream in the state to-
day would have thousands of turkeys
along the banks. If the does had
been left and only the bucks killed,
the forest would abound in deer.
Had prairie chickens been killed
for food alone and not for wanton sport,
the fields would be full of them. The
Government ought to establish large
game park and raise birds and animals
adapted to this country. Then estab-
lish game laws and rigidly enforce
them. 1t will be but few years, M
less this is done, before the game is
entirely exhausted. The same is true
of fish, and fish culture should be es-
tablished upon scale commensurate
with the capabilities of the streams"

A FATAL TRIAL TRIP.
THIRTY-NINE MEN KILLED DY
AN EXPLOSION ON A GER
MAN WARSHIP.
The Bursting of a steam Pipe on the
Brandenburg, a German 1ronclad,
While on a Trial Trip Causes
Terrible Disasters.

Aterrible accident occurred on board the
German ironclad Brandenburg near Stoller'
grund, three miles from the Duelk light
house, at the entrance to Keil bay. The
big vessel for some time past has been In
Kiele's Fohrd the chief war harbor of
Germany undergoing experiments.
Monday was selected for forced draught
trial To get the ironcad In first class con
dition from the test 40 articles were sent
aboard from the Imperial dockyard. While
eleven of these articles were In the engine
room tremendous explosion took place,
The main steampipe Of the starboard EN-
gine had burst.
Far above the noise of the escaping steam
were heard the heartrending cries OF the
injured and dying. Panic temporarily
spread smong the crew. but after mo
ment hesitation every effort was put forth
TO rescue the unfortunate men In the engine
room. II was then fosnd that eleven ofthe
artificers all but one had been killed. The
man who escaped owned his preservation
from the fate of his comrades 10 the fact
that at the moment Of the explosion he was
standing on a ladder near the top of the
room. His companions were all ON the
floor of the room.
When the steam had cleared away and
the panic had subsided a further search
was made among the crew for the dead
and injured. Ii was then discovered that
thirty nine men in all had been killed and
nine injured. Ibis list includes the ten
dead artificers. Thirty seven of the men
were killed instantly. Two ofthe wounded
died a short while after receiving their
injuries.
-Four steamers were promptly dispatched
from Kiel to the scene Of the disaster. They
carried number ofphysicians and surgeons
and a large quantity OF :medical supplies.
the guard ship Pelican, with Prince Henry
of Prussia on board, also put off : instantly
TO the BTandenburg's aid. The dead and
wounded were carried from the Branden-
burg to the steamers and conveyed to .kiel.
The injured were taken TO the hospital. II
Is believed that they will recover.t
The details of the accident are very hard
to obtain. 1t is said that as soon as the ex-
plosion occurred all hands were summoned
on deck and the pumps were rigged. IL was
not tnen known what the accident amount
ed to and fears were entertained that the
Brandenburg was in danger Of sinking.
All day long the most intense excite
ment has prevailed in Kiel. Most of the
dead and injured lived here or in the neigh
borhood and, many of them were men o.
family. The wharves were crowded from
the time the steamers left for the scene of
the explosion until they returned with the
victims. As the dead and wounded were
borne tenderly from the vessels to thu
shore the air resounded with the cries oi
the bereaved, while those who had not lost
any friends or relatives uncovered theil
head. A strict inquiry will be made int,
the cause of the disaster.

sl5o,ooo.ooo IN GOLD.

The Production of the World Is the
Largest Know for Years.
Returns received at the Treasury Depart
ment indicate that the gold output for 1893
will reach the almost unprecedented
amount of $4,000. 900, an increase over
1892 of g. 100000. In Colorado the output
has increased from S3,00),O0O in 1892 TO
$1,000, 600 in 1893, while the gains in the
other gold producing sections are unusually
large. The Australian production will
carry the production of the world 1t is
thought to $i50,00o0o0, which is gain OF
sl2 900, 900 for the year. With one or two
exceptions this is the largest output ever
known.

be rapidly taking the place of the California
and Australian fields Us the bonanza finds

Witwatersrandt region alone show a total

ishing rate and South Africa bids fair dur.
ing the present year to push her way to the
head of the list CT gold producing countries.
The figures for 1892 put Australia at the
head of the list with production'of s33.-

turns from South africa for 1893 will prob.
ably show production in excess OF $780,

Saws the Atlanta journal: Edwin
Atkinson, who is very careful with
figures, and who investigates thor
oughly before he gives an opinion,
thinks that the number of unemployed
persons in the United States has been
greatly exaggerated. He writes to
the New York Journal OF Commerce
an interesting letter on the subject,
in which he estimates the total num-
ber of unemployed in the country at
1,15O, 900 and says that this includes
the large army of permanently and
voluntarily idle. Mr.. Athinson's esti-
mate is the lowest we have seen,

employed at ! 200, 900.

"The rapid increase of crime

"The rapid increase of crime in
this country is largely due" main
tains the Atlanta Constitution, "to the
delay and uncertainty of criminal
Justice. In 1889 in the United States
1868 murders were committed. In
1890 they reached 1890, and 590s in
1891, while for 1892 the total is 600,
an increase of nearly ninety per cent.
in four years. But although we had
more than 10000 murders in four
years there were only 331 legal execu'
tions. Judge Lynch, however, took n
hand in the matter and disposed OF
55s criminals. This lynching record
puts our lawbreakers and judges upon
notice that the people demand speedy
Justice. and when they have reason to
believe that they will be disappointed
they will sometimes dispose of the
business in their own way. With
murders increasing at the rate Of
ninety per cent. since 1889, it is evil
dent that something must be done to
check the rising tide of crime or
general decentralization will be the re-
suit. The certainty of punishment
without unnecessary delay is the best
remedy. Many a criminal who is
reckless enough to court death at the
hands of a mob shudders when he con-
templates the prospect of dying on the
gallows in Jail yard in the presence
of only few officials. These quiet,
orderly, private executions have a
better effect than public hangings or
]ynchings. They inspire awe as well
as terror. Justice surely and speedily
administered in the courts will stop
lynching and reduce the number OF
murders. If murderer can be con.
victed in England and legally executed
within thirty days after the CON-
mission of his crime, why cannot we
be equally prompt in our methodist"
