Replanting OF corn has been general during
the week, owing to damaging effects OF re-
cent frosts In Indiana most Of the crop had
to be replanted. Kansas reports corn doing
well, and In Nebraska the early planted is In
good condition, but rain is needed to bring
up that recently planted. In the Southern
States the general condition Of corn is good
and in some sections cultivation is finished.
Tobacco planting is progressing rapidly In
Kentucky and has begun In Maryland, where
plants are abundant; In North Carolina plant
ing is nearly finished. Ohio reports tobacco
plants In poor condition.
Winter wheat is reported In good condition
In Northern Illinois, but In poor condition
In the central and southern portions OF the
state. The condition OF wheat has declined
rapidly In Missouri, owing to drought and

THE LlGHT-WHEEl CRAZE.

The ThoroushRoinR wheeIman sacri-
Aces Everything 60 Lightuess.
Regarding the craze for light wheels
which Is now being so much discussed
among wheelmen, a writer has the fol-
lowing 10 say on the subject: A few
years ago when the lightest wheel
weighed some fifty pounds, and weight
OF machine was regarded as essential
to stendiness and safety, all wheel rid
ers voluntarily carried bells and Ian
terms and mud shields and guards for
the trousers, and various other things.
With the advent of the pneumatic tire
came the mania for light machines.
The common bicycle weighs now about
thirty-two pounds. Most members Of
the l.. A. w. have road wheels that
weigh ten or fifteen pounds less. The
reduction of every pound is hailed
with delight.
The thoroughgoing wheelman sacrl-
fees everything to lightness. His fan
mel suit weighs but few ounces.
When he Is particularly enthusiastic
he discards hose and has his head
shaved. Any man on wheel who has
whiskers Is not an enthusiast. If Sen
ator PETER should ever be lured into
cycling by Jerry Simpson the Senate
would lose the adornment of his flow.
Ing whiskers.
Except where the law imposes pen
atty, the wheel has no lantern, no bell,
no mud guards, no anything but
small tool box, and In that the oil can
Is only half filed to the saving of few
grains of weight. When a man will
sacrifice his mustache and have his
head shaved TO resemble Sing Sing
convict, and, as in the case Of one
wheel maniac, will have a few teeth
drawn to tighten the load-wnen he
will smoke a cigarette rather than
cigar because II Is llghter-can we ex-
pect him to submit to bell and lantern
unless he is powcrless to control legis-
lation2 An occasional pedestrian over
thrown, or baby carriage smashed,
children run down or n fat woman
rolled over, he regards as unimportant
compared with the reduction of his
machines weight few ounces. When
man Is so enslaved by the bicycle
habit as to take anti-fat nostrums TO
tighten his weight, his opinions us to
safeguards for the public are not
worth legislative consideration.

Details have reached Ottawa OF an accident
which occurred on the Spanish river, by
which 33.men lost their lives. The victims
were lumbermen. They had encamped for
the night on a crib OF square timber moored
to the shore, near the head OF the rapids,
which at this point are very precipitous and
rocky. All had gone to sleep, without leav-
ing q watchman to guard the crib. Somehow
during the night the crib broke from its
moorings and carried its cargo of sleeping
men into the surging waters below. The crib
broke to pieces on the rocks, and not man
escaped to tell the tale.

French Steamer Goes Down With 1o3
Passengers.
The French steamer Dom Pedro, bound for
Carrll, Spain, has been wrecked on the Cobos
rocks, of Cape Corrubedo. The disaster was
caused by the bursting Of n boiler. The
number Of people who perished is 1903. The
captain and 81 Of the passengers and crew
were saved. The passengers were mostly
emigrants. In the confusion many jumped
overheard and tried to swim to shore,
The Dom Pedro was 3.900-ton steamer
and was engaged In running regularly be-
tween Havre and tho Argentine Republic,
sailing at Bordeaux, France, and Passages
and Carril, Spain, for freight and passengers.
The latter were mostly emigrants bound
for the Argentine Republic or other ports OF
South America. On her return trips the Dom
Pedro was generally loaded with frozen meat.
She left Havre on May 20 last, with a crew Of
40, all told, and with 30 passengers on board.
At Carrill the steamer was to have en-
barked 200 additional passengers. But on
her way to that port she ran on a rock at
GAO p. NJ, Monday of Cape Corrubedo, on
the west coast OF Galicia. Her boiler ex-
ploded, and the vessel foundered almost I'm
mediately afterward.

town of villagarcia, in the province OF Ponte-
vedra, 20 miles north OF the town OF Vigo.

TO AVOID STRIKES.
Horseshoers Think They Have Solved the
Problem.


Problem.
The International Horseshoers' Convention
devised way whereby there will be very
few strikes hereafter among the horseshoers
ofthe United States and Canada. This is as.
sured as result OF formation OF new
organization. composed Of the officers OF the
international bodies OF both the masters and
journeymen, TO lie known as the Supreme
Council of Scientific Horseshoers, represent
ing the united horseshoers of the two coun.
tries.
All difficulties arising between members OF
local organizations and employers will be re.
ierred to the Supreme Council when they
cannot be settled by the local unions and no
strike can be ordered without the consent
OF the Council.
As the increased use OF bicycles has had
disastrous effect on the trade, and brought
about a surplus OF iourneymen, 1t was agreed
by the Council to adopt AN eight-hour work
day, but this rule will not be put into effect
for the aresent. 1t was also decided that n
more apprentices shall be taken on for two
years. Daniel Riordan, Of Chicago, was
elected President, and Rhoady Keeyan, OF

USE OF THE ROCKET IN WAR.
An Engine of Destruction Which In
ventors Are Trying to Perfect.

An Engine of Destruction Which In
ventors Are Trying to Perfect.
The world was recently startled by
the announcement that Frenchman
named Turpin had invented an engine
Of war so terrible that the nation pot
sesslng II would have the power of an
Initiating its opponents-so dread
machine that Its very might would
probably put an end to war altogether.
The records of the French Patent OF.
sce reveal the fact that this engine of
destruction, which should act as sort
Of cast-lron Jupiter Tonans, is a rocket.
Inventors In all ages have been struck
with the great advantages of the rock
ct as a missile over the ordinary can
non with Its projectile. First, the rock
ct carries its propelling power with 1t.
while the projectile receives only big
push, as 1t We're, at the beginning. The
cannon ball must move more and more
slowly as 1t goes; the rocket may 60
faster and faster. The cannon ball i'm
plies an enormously heavy and awk-
ward piece of artillery; for setting Off
the rocket nothing Is needed but a
light portable frame or carriage.
The first military rockets that made
much stir were those Of Congreve,
which did good work in the lombard
ment Of Copenhagen and also In the
Crlmea.
But they did not always go straight.
The inventors then tried to make a
rocket which, like the breech-loading
rifle, should cause It's projectile to ro-
tate swiftly. To do this and still keep
the rocket In straight and even line
Is a difficult problem.
To this end. instead of providing a
rifed cannon tube, Turpin gives his
rocket preliminary spin by the aid of
electric motors. He can thus evidently
get up an enormously high speed, but
1t is unfortunately accompanied by q
trembling movement, which has dis.
turbing action on the accuracy of fire.
So the military rocket is still chort Of
perfection as an engine of war, but
Turpin's rocket has come nearer to 1t
than any of its predecessors.

the great manufacturing concerns been so

unmoved have been put in motion and are
now revolving with that old-time velocity
which spread prosperity and contentment to

tensive improvements will be made, includ-
ing an extension to Savannah. A twelve

through the rice districts OF Crowley, La.
Rats have been purchased for a 36-mile road
to run from Marksville, in the same state.
73-mile road is TO be built from Dennison,
Texas, north to reach coal territory. The
