Death OF Trees by Sunstrolxe.

During the late extraordinary warm
spell, the writer of this paragraph
was called upon to see a large sugar
maple tree that was supposed to have
been destroyed by leak of the city
gas main at the root; but an examina-
ton showed that the tree died, literal
ly, from SunStrOke. 1t is strange that
close observers of trees are unable to
see when anything is out Of the COM
mon run Of things, and consequently
note that something is going wrong.
This sugar maple had been planted
on the street probably a quarter of a
century ago, and was about feet in
circumference; but the trunk was al
most triangular, and yet this
popularity seemed to attract no at
IGNITION. The tree was simply triangular
because on three sides of the tree the
bark and wood had evidently been de-
stroyed years ago, while the outer bark
still continued to cover up the injury,
and the only live wood was on the
angles of the trunk. Only about one
third Of the trunk was practically
alive. When the exceedingly warm
spell came, it was impossible for these
limited ducts to supply the moisture
required for such large surface of
foliage, annd the tree, therefore,
literally died from inability to furnish
the moisture required for transpira-
ton. 1t may always be taken for
granted, that when the trunk of a tree,
naturally cylindrical, takes an angular
from, there is something wrong
beneath the bark, and an examation
should at once be made. The fatter
portions will usually be found dead.
In this case, the bark should wholly
be cut away from the dead portion,
and the denuded par painted, in order
to check rotting away. In time the,
healthy wood may grow over the
wound or lifeless part. and the life of
the tree be eventually saved.-Mee

DEEPWATER WAYS.
1t Means Wealth to the Western
Farmer.

Farmer.
With the ending Of the year, the
various connecting channels between
the great lakes, Superior, Huron,
Michigan and Erie, will he practically
completed. They have been already Of
almost untold value to the farmers Of
the Northwest, because they have
made it possible to transport the crops
of the West, at low rates, to the mar
kets of the East and Europe. Now
then, with the completion of these
channels, the commerce of sixteen
states-a mighty volume-comes with
unrestricted passage for perhaps a
thousand miles by water, and at ex-
tremely low freight to Buffalo, N. Y,
there to be transhipped and taken
across New York by rail, or canal, at
high cost. The Northwestern farm
er now confronts the problem Of get
ting q deepWater channel past Buff
falo, clear to New York City and the
ocean. Please note the figures pre-
pared by an eminent authority, G. N.
button, for the farmers study:
sixteen great states, namely, Ohio, Indl-
ana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Wiscon-
Sin. Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas.
Montana Wyoming and Colorado must ship
their surplus agricultural products from the
great lakes to the seaboard. Deep water
navigation would affect an immediate re-
duction in freight costs and consequent in
crease In crop values Of an average cents
a Dushel on grain and potatoes, 81 a ton
on hay and IS and upwards a ton on straw.
In the sixteen states most benefited the
direct money gain, computed on the crop
reports of 1894, will be as follows:

BICYCLES NOW, NOT WATCHES
Boys of To-day Want Wheels
stead of Timepieces.

Bicycles and watches are not much
alike, and it is difficult to see how the
sale Of one can affect the sale of the
other. 1t is fact, nevertheless, that
since the bicycle fever took hold in it's
present intense form, the sale Of nigh
grade watches has been greatly re-
duced. Parents who buy bicycles for
their children do not buy watches, I'M
less, perhaps, they get cheap ones, so
the young ones may know when it is
time to come home to dinner.
1.-THE decrease in the sale of watches
has been very noticeable" said a State
street jeweler the other day, land I
trace it to no other cause but the bicy-
Gle. For instance, when a boy became
fifteen or sixteen years old in former
days, it was the custom of his parents
to present him with a watch-general-
ly a costly affair-which usually lasted
him the better part Of his life. But it
is different now. The boy clamors for
bicycle, and he generally gets it, al
though it does not last as long and
usually costs more than a watch This
same trait have roticed in people Of
older years. When they get money
enough on hand to buy Il watch the
bicycle fever strikes them, and they
go out and invest in a Wheel

1.-The sixteen states above referred to
nave total area in improved farm lands
of 199,326, S76 acres. The increased value
of the production Of these lands will be
$465,SOO,OOO annually, an increased annual
earning Of $2.33 1-3 per acre. If the mar
ket value Of land depend upon it's earning
power. and the ratio of increase of value
be taken at four times the increase In
yearly earnings, then the improved farm
lands In these sixteen states will increase
in value 1888 1-3 per acre, or 81 $50, OOO,-

"Vast as this sum appears, it is a par
tial statement of the gain to the West re-
sulting from deep draft navigation to the
seaboard because it is based on the short
crops of 1894, and does not take account of
truck fruits, small grains, dairy products,
poultry, eggs, horses and mules, and wood,
timber, bark, ETC.; neither does it take ac-
count of mine products and manufactures,
or the increase in values in city and manu-

What will the farmers of the above.
mentioned sixteen states do about
this? They can do great things for
their own benefit if they will act Wig
orously. They can make such an agi-
tation through their organizations that
the papers, commercial bodies and
public men will understand very clear
ly that it is a popular question that
must be attended to at once. Get the
editors to write articles, and the COM
mercial bodies and city councils to
pass resolutions that can be used at
the convention to be held next month
at Cleveland land forward them all to
me, as chairman Of the executive COM
mittee. The Northwestern farmer is
competing against fierce competition
from the products Of cheap lands and
cheap labor in other parts of the
world, and nothing but cheaper freight
rates will help him. Cheaper freight
rates can be had by completing the
deepWater ways clear through to New
York city. The newspapers and pub
lie men Of the country, and especially
of the Northwest, are becoming
aroused to the necessity Of this work.
At Cleveland, on Sept. "a, conven-
ton is called to consider this business.
Delegates will be welcome from every
sort of public body. I desire to re-
ceive letters from all public men and
resolutions from farmer and city Or

PLAYING A WHALE.
Seven-Hours' Struggle, Ending
With the Escape of the Big Fish.

A Seven-Hours' Struggle, Ending
With the Escape of the Big Fish.
About $50 a. M, when eight miles
southwest of the South lighthouse,
Capt. Ed Dodge sighted a whale, and
lin few moments the Ocean View was
close enough to the great mammal to
enable her commander to throw the
harpoon, which he did very sccessful-
.ly, Embedding it in the whales back,
probably twelve times. Fifty fathoms
of -eighths-inch rope, with a barrel
at it's end, was attached to the barb
shaped missile, and almost instantly
after the whale had been struck he
went scurrying through the water at
terrific rate, the barrel following,
and leaving in it's pathway a crest Of
foam beautiful and wonderful to see.
Presently the whale dived deep in
the water, but there remained in plain
sight the tell-tale barrel to mark his
whereabouts. Soon Capt. Dodge add
ed fifty fathOms more of rope and al
lowed the big fellow to race around
with it until it was thought to be
sufficiently exhausted to warrant tax
ing in the barrel and winding the rope
turn OF two on cleat of the vessel.
This was done about l 80 p. H., and
from that time on to 4:3O D. m. there
was much excitement and fun enough
on board the Ocean View to last the
young women from Springfield and
Enfield for years to come. Sometimes
the whale ran straight ahead, increas-
ing the speed of the vessel percepti-
bly,; then he would run in a circle.
Sometimes he ould make u rush
across the bow Of the vessel; and
twice he dived under it. After he had
performed the latter interesting trick
once Mr.. Taylor suggested to the
young women that the next time he
did it he would knock the vessel into
kindling wood with his tail. But the
women had faith IN Capt. Dodge's
skill and judgment, and they were not
scared bit.
For seven hours the Ocean View fol-
lowed the monster, in one direction
and another, until finally she was
twenty miles at sea. For more than
three hours Capt. Dodge or his engin-
eer had hold Of the rope, gradually
drawing the whale toward the vessel,
in order that it might be killed by an
other thrust of the harpoon; but at
4: 80 p. m. the rope broke where it en-
circled the ring of the imbedded mis-
sile. And low the whale is roaming
the great deep, carrying with him the
spear as a reminder of the seven
hours battle, while tho men who vain
ly tried to haul him in have hands
sore enough to keep them thinking of
the whale for some time to come.
Capt. Dodge says the next time he
goes whaling he is going to have a
crew of Massa chusetts and Connecti-
cut girls, for they know how to stand
at the helm, and all that, in an
emergency, and don't "scare" when
the monsters tail is Uncomfortab ly
close to the ship.
1t was Capt. Dodee's intention to
tow the whale into Block Island har-
Dor and put him on exhibition, as it
would have been qnite a curiosity, not
one having been brought in here in
the memory of the pres ent generation.
The whale Was some thirty feet long.

Among the passengers on Western

much overdressed, accompanied by q
bright-looking nurse girl and a self
willed, tyrannical boy of about three
years.
The boy aroused the indignation of
the passengers by his continual shrieks

her bonnet, scratched her hands and
finally spat in her face, without q
word of remonstrance from the moth

Whenever the nurse manifested any

self for a nap, and about the time the
boy slapped the nurse for the fifth
time a wasp came sailing in and flew
on the window of the nurses seat.
The boy at once tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his hand and said
ccaxingly:
Harry mustn't touch. Bug bite

Harry screamed savagely and began
to kick and pound the nurse.

eyes or lifting her head, cried out
sharply:
"Why do you tease that child so,
Mary? Let him have what he wants

"But, ma'am, it's a.

The Result of Short Working Hours
An English manufacturer has COM
municated to daily paper an inter-
esting report Of the result of a five
years experience Of the eight-hour
rule in his works. lie says that at
first the wage-cost per ton went up,
then dropped and is now as low as
it was in 1889, when the twelve-hOur
law was in force. In other words, the
mon get as much work done in eight
hours as they used to get done in
twelve. This is not attributed to q
coincidental improvement in machin-
cry or the methods Of manufacture.
The managers Of the work, who have
considered the point, are convinced
that, although the men work less
hours, the aggregate efficiency of their
work is not diminished. This view is
supported by the showing of the fac
tory books, which record greater reg
ularity Of attendance, increased appli-
cation and improved health of the
workmen. May Of them used to be

Special Freight Cars on Electric
Railways.

The freight traffic on electric rail-
ways has led to the construction of
many new forms of freight cars. On
one line large quantity of whisky is
handled. A large box car, which also
carries general freight and supplies
for local service, has been made for
carrying to the station Of the steam
railway the barrels of whisky from
large distilleries in the district. The
car is % feet long and 10 feet 8 inches
high from rail to top Of roof. 1t is
also used as locomotive and hauls
three loaded box cars between the
railway and the distilleries. The car
is mounted on pair of four-Wheel
trucks, with a % horsepower motor
on each axle, and weighs about Il
tons empty. In Spokane the electric
cars which haul wheat and flour be-
tween the mills and the railway sta
ton have displaced the drays formerly
used. The grain cars, which have
been specially built for the service,
are 20 feet long, and the grain COM
partment is ~ feet long, 6 feet wide
and 5 feet 6 inches high, with capac-
ity of 10000 pounds, or 200 bushels Of
wheat. At the freight station the
floor, which is hinged and carries a
steel hopper, is raised, and the car is
loaded with grain from the main line
cars. On reaching the mill the car is
run over chute, the gate Of the hop
per is opened, and the grain is
dumped. The floor is then let down to
cover the hopper and the car is loaded
with bags or barrels Of -four to go to
the railway station. Whenever the
streets along the line require macad-
