THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
DR.. Ell. Recommend. Fewer Experiment

DR.. Ellis Recommends Fewer Experiment
Stations.
DIR. Ellis, president of the Agricul-
tural College, and director of the ex-
pertinent station, in his annual report,
just published, criticises the policy of
multiplying the number of experiment
stations.
He says that four are enough for
Colorado, and that others could be
profitably discontinued. He deprecates
the expanded areas covered by the ex-
listing stations, and thinks 80 acres suf-
ficient to intellisently present an at
tractive and useful object lesson in
farming. The fact that the state has
been able to sell but 81 900 Of surplus
product from six experiment stations,
covering 1G0 acres each, is, he thinks,
evidence that something is wrong. Fhe
insufficient appropriation for conduct
ing the stations on the present enlarged
scale, makes the result unsatisfactory.
In commenting on the agricultural
course at the college, he says the
classes are small and the interest poor
ly sustained, the manual labor required
being performed in perfunctory and
half-hearted way. On the other hand
the department of mechanical engineer
ing is crowded beyond its capacity.
The doctor thinks that greater interest
might be created under different
method of instruction. The question
has already been raised in hegard to
the Agricultural College, whether its
course of study has not been shaping
away from agricultural and towards
polytechnic lines. To make agricul-
ture attractive as well as practical is a
deep problem and one that may well
enlist the attention of the best trained
intellects among the educators of to-
day. The work of the shop always has
the advantage of the labor of the field
in that it is comparatively clean, shell
tered and can be proved at once;
whereas, when one is dealing with ma
ture, time must tell wherein errors, If
any, have been made. The unfolding
of the proof of ones work Is so grad
ual that there is always present an ele-
ment of uncertainty; the shadow, so to
speak, is contingent of failure. linen,
too, the worker rarely gets the credit
of good crop, since the usual verdict
Is that the soil was fine, the season
Just right, or the seed superior, nature
thus getting nine-trnths of the credit.
in the mechanical engineering the man
on the other hand usually gets all the
credit. And Appreciation" Is what
the majority of men are hungering and
thirsting after.
If DIR. Ellis shall succeed In arousing
greater interest in the study of prac-
teal agriculture and cognate branches
and in cutting down useless expendi-
lures on unnecessary experiment sta
lions, besides increasing the efficiency
of those actually required, he will have
conferred substantial benefit upon
the Industrial constituency he repre-
sents.-CoIorado Farmer.

Unwelcome Passengers.

A British steamship, the Kennel,
which recently arrived at Philadelphia,
laden with logwood, unfortunately
shipped with its cargo a host OF most
unwelcome and pestiferous passen-
gers; namely, scorpions and tarantulas.
Within day or two after leaving
port the tarantulas and scorpions were
everywhere. They were killed by the
hundred, particularly in the after cab.
in, and so thickly was this portion OF
the ship populated by the vermin that
the officers were unable to sleep below.
''rhe pests are numerous enough
said one of the officers, "but our mag
nation made them even more 50. Ey-
cry shadow, every flicker OF light
seemed to be a scorpion or tarantula
and we felt the prick of their stings
n good many times when none was
near"
The only relief the crew Of the Ken
net had on their voyage was on the
day before sighting the capes, when
the cold weather caused the dlsap-
pearance of the noxious creatures from
the decks.
When the cargo was discharged ~
was found to be actually alive with
scorpions and tarantulas. The OLD
sailors on board the Kennel say that
they will never ship in a vessel laden
with logwood again Youths Compan-

CLAWS STRANGE ATTACHMENT
He Is Having His Girl Wife Liberally
Educated,


Louisville, KY, Jan. 7.-Gen. CassIus
Marcellis Clay, the "old lion of White
hail." is carrying out his plan of edu-
eating his young wife to fit her for her
new station in life. A few days ago
he engaged a governess, who has gone
to White hall to give Mrs. Clay lessons
in department. music and the ordinary
branches Of learning. Mrs. Clay is
only Is years old and has little more
than the rudiments Of an education.
She has had absolutely no advantages
of society. Miss Martin, the gOverness,
Is expected to make finished lady of
her, and is to be paid liberal salary.
Her father, III. q. Martin, Is we'll
known lawyer, who was war COM
rade of Gen. Clay.
The Clays live an absolutely retired
life at White hall. Mrs. Clay has been
visited by none of her neighbors, and
neither she nor her aged husband quits
their massive country house. They
have very few servants, and the young
woman has been attending to the cook
ing lust as she did before her strange
marriage Gen. Clay is as devoted to
the girl as ever, and has lost nothing
of his former ecccntricity. His chill
dren have had nothing to do with him
except Ionic Clay, who was born dur
ing his fathers sojourn in st. Peters
burg as minister to Russia.

Omaha, Jan. "a local paper to-day
declares there Is very good reason to
believe that the anti-pass rule recently
enacted by the railroad managers Is III
tended as n blow at railroad labor or
ganizations more than for any other
purpose. Its belief Is strengthened by
information received by 1t from Cedar
Rapids and Vinton, Iowa, respectively
the homes OF the Order Of Railroad
Conductors and of Railroad Telegraph
ers. This information bears the dismal
message that the grand officers are ut
terly unable to make any arrangements

In II the potentially Of reducing to the

work of the engines Of an ocean steam
shin within a small space they occupy
and at a fraction of their cost, both of
construction and operation 1t will do
thh work without jar or pounding, and
will reduce to a minimum the risk of
derangement or breakage. There Is
nothing in the whole range Of mechani-
raj construction, from railway loco
motives to stamp mills, which such an
Invention may not revolutionize. The
essential characteristic of the machine
Il the application Of the pressure of
steam to produce an extremely rapid
v,bration Of bar of steel or piston,
which, in turn, is SO adapted to set of
magnets that the mechanical energy
Of the vibration is converted into cleo
tricIty. The extraordinary result Is
that practically an absolutely constant
vibration Is established, and power is
obtained greatly beyond that obtain

zines using similar amount Of steam.

ing of the engine, the Is per cent. of
loss in the belt friction, and the 10 per
cent of loss wasted in the dynamo,
making altogether an addition of so
per cent. to the available energy OBJ
tained from the steam for the purpose
Of producing electricity, 1t Is simpler,
lighter and smaller that the mechanism
It is designed to replace, absolutely
constant In its action, automatically
regulated, and subject to the least pos
sible amount of wear and tear. The
utilization OF this machine in any
branch OF industry would result In an
appreciable lowering in the cost Of pro-
duction, and 1t is quite possible that Its
drst general employment may be In

In recent article on Coffee and
Cocoa, the eminent German chemist,
Prof. stutzer, speaking Of the Dutch
process of preparing Cocoa by the ad-
dition of potash, and of the process
common In Germany in which ammo
MIA is added, says: "The only result OF
these processes is to make the liquid
appear turbid to the eye OF the con-
suiner, without effecting real solu-
tIon OF the Cocoa substances. This ar
tificiaI manipulation for the purpose OF
so-caIled soIubiIity Is, therefore, more
or less inspired by deception, and nj
ways takes place at the cost OF purity,
pleasant taste, useful action, and aro-
matte 1avor. The treatment OF Cocoa
nv such chemical means Is entirely OBJ
fectionable. Cocoon treated
with potash or ammonia would be en-
tireIy unsuitable but for the supple
mentary addition OF artificial fiavors,
by which poor substitute for the
aroma driven out into the afr is offered
to the consumer" The delicious Break
