ON A SILVER BASIS.

SoioheA SocRcriii snys Japnn Will Not
Change Her Currency.
If there is any number of people in
the United States laboring under tho i'm
preston that Japan is likely to go from
q silver to gold basis us u result of the
war and tho lSvying of heavy tax upon
China, they may rs well dismiss the sub
Ject from their minds. The Chinese in
demnity is to be paid in silver and in
lnstallments, and Japan is no more quail
lied to adopt gold standard now than
she was last year. The new minister of
finance, Count Matsugata, is understood
to be "goldbug' of very pronounced
character, likewise many of the native
merchants and tradesmen of this CITY.
But tho conditions now are such that
Japan cannot do otherwise than remain
IN the guild of silver countries.
AS for the Chinese indemnity, Count
Okuma suggests that it should be OK
pended very largely to tho glory of ia
pan He would invest 100, coo, 900 ven
In foreign bonds, convertible into specie
Mt Will, and deposit them in the treasury
as contingency fund. He would en-
ploy 30, 600, 900 yen in repaying the loan
OF the Bank of Japan. He would set
aside fund for great Worlds fair in
Tokyo five years hence, would perma-
nently endow the Imperial university,
and the remainder of the indemnity he
would distribute among the various dis.
tricts OF the realm to form permanent
funds "to reward the services rendered
by the people of the state and to encour-
age further faithfulncss and loyalty on
their part. The count would meet the
expense of an increased navy with the
| ordinary revenue.
The entire cost of the war to Japau is
estimated mt 100 900, 600 yen, and about
half as much more will be expended in
bringing the troops home and garrison
| ing the territory acquired. The Japanese
| during the war captured from the Chi
nese one heavy ironclad, two cruisers,
nine gunboats and eight torpedo boats
the total value being something like

A BOTTLE TOWER,
Ingenious Scheme to Represent the Vino
Industry at Paris In 1900.

Ingenious Scheme to Represent the Vino
Industry at Paris In 1900.
An ingenious scheme to provide at
fractions at the Paris exposition OF 900
is the bottle plan.
Tho idea is to build hugo tower in
the form Sf champagne bottle. It will
be divided into chambers in which tho
process of manufacturing wine will be
exhibited.
In the first chamber, ON the ground
floor, there will be a charming scene. A
vine clad hill at the season Of gathering
the grapes will be represented, the river
Rhone appearing in tho background. A
yoke OF oxen will draw great load Of
freshly gathered grapes.
On the next and second story the
work of gathering the grapes will he
shown in moro detail. Tho arrangement
here will be of somewhat humorous
character.
Above that will be vino press, not
such as would be found in the cham
pasno district. because that is too mod
ern and not sufficiently picturesque.
This will be rustic wine press, a
charming bit of old fashioned France.
Your ascent will then hiring you to a
brilliant scene. striking contrast to
the last. This will be grand ballot,
entitled 1.-The Grape Harvest Festival"
i'll which that smiling event will be
celebrated i'll % suitable terpsichorean
manner. Most people will DO able to sec
a subtle connection between the ballet
and the Wine producing industry, apart
from the fact that in this case one is
specially devoted TO the other.
Above that ybn will come to q scene
of patient industry Here the work of
bottling and labelling will be represent
ed. This will be a peculiarly instructive
exhibition, as the bottling of champagne
will be explained. This is a very elub-
crate and interesting process and ono
which is little understood by tho gen
eral public.
The remaining three chambers will
DO arranged rs n monastic cellar, the
wineroom and gay place of entertain

Telephone as an Alarm Clock.

A Portland business man has hit on q
new scheme for being awakened at the
proper time i'll tho morning, which he
declares beats any alarm clock that ever
was invented. He has his telephone i'll
his bedroom, and each night when about
to retro he calls up the central office
and requests the operator to cab him up
at designated hour in order to find if
tho "phone" works properly. Promptly
at that hour the bell rings loudly, and
lie is awakened with neatness and dis
patch. He claims that the service thus
rendered is alone worth the annual
rental of the telephone. Boston Herald.

A TINY SAN FRANCISCO BABY,
just About Big as Il Half Column of
the Examiner When Six Weeks Old

just About Big as a Half Column of
San Francisco has a miniature baby
that is more remarkable specil of
minute humanity than even the dlmin-
utlVe Crawford, N. j., baby that Great
ed interest hereabout last March. The
Crawford baby weighed two and quar-
ter pounds when born, and when two
weeks old was thirteen inches long and
weighed three and half pounds. The
San Francisco baby was six weeks old
on April "a and was then only twelve
inches long and weighed only four
pounds. When born it weighed only
one and three-quarter pounds and was
just seven inches long. The Jersey
baby, too, came into the world prema-
tufely, and died when about three weeks
old, While the California child at last
accounts was healthy and likely to
keep so. 1t is d boy baby, the child of
Mrs. May e. Ronnell, and is her second
child. Its brother is a sturdy little fell
low years old, of average size. Mrs.
Bonnell is "a years old, and medium
sized woman. Small babies are said to
run in her family. Her mother
weighed only one pound at her birth,
and a cigar box was her crib and
cradle. While Ernest Eugene, as the
baby has been named, has grown at
what in his case may be called nor
mai rate, and is continuing so to do, he
is SO rldlculously small that his mother
IS afraid when carrying him out for an
airing, that she may lose him out of
his clothes. The clothes prepared for
hrm against his arrival are more than
twice too big for him. His fingers are
all less than half an inch long. and his
nnger nails can scarce be seen without
a magnifylng glass, while his doubled
up fist Will easily fit inside a thimble.
HIS feet are just one inch long. Only
bis lungs seem disproportionate to the
rest OF his measurements He is in
every respect perfectly formed, in
proper proportions, has deep blue ewes
and yellow hair, and a good idea Of his
general proportions may be had from
the fact he just fits in the family coffee
pot. This baby has had the unique
honor of having his picture printed

Sugar Rect Figures.

The Idaho experiment station is pre-
pairing complete report of sugar beets.
An abstract of the report already is
sued gives some interesting figures.
Manufacturers of beet sugar in the
United States require that the beets
contain not less than IL per cent of
sugar, and co-efficient of purity of not
less than 80 degrees. The price per ton
is regulated by the sugar contents.
One hundred and ninety-two analyses
made by the station gave an average of
1877 per cent of sugar and a purity of
76 degrees. This included all samples
received.
The yield in that state is placed at an
average of twenty-five tons. No in
telligent figures are at hand telling the
cost of production.
Prof. Fox says that the cost of build
ings, machinery, etc., according to size,
ranges from 100000 to 5000 900; and
100000 gallons of water and fifty to
seventy-five cords of wood are required
daily. A 100000 factory will turn
out good article of granuated sugar
The daily capacity of such a plant is
about 300 tons beets and the campaign
extends over period of 100 days. This
will require a production of 10000 tons
per season, or the produce of about 900
acres.
1t is estimated that Idaho has 1O,0OO,-
600 acres suitable for the culture of
sugar beets. That certainly is a field
worthy the investigation of capitalists
who are seeking opportunities for in
vestment.

month, and S1.4 in May, 1894.
The averages of the principal winter
wheat states are: Ohio, S5: Michigan,
IS; Indiana, 81; Illinois, 90 Missouri,
30; Kansas, 48; California, 81. The av-
efage of the seventeen states is 1913,
against S1.5 in April, being an increase
cf little less than one point. In the
southern states the averages range
from 55 in Texas to SO in Alabama
Winter rye, like wheat, has ad-
vanced nearly two points since last
month, the average for May being S8.7,
against 81 for the same date in April
The percentage of New York is 97;
Pennsylvania, 90; Michigan, So; I'LL
nois, 80; Kansas, 54. The prospects for
rye throughout the rye belt are fair,
except in the state Of New York, where
it is too dry, while in the states of
Minnesota and Kansas the crop was
considerably damaged by the severe
winter and has not recovered.
The average condition of winter
barley is "a, against 92.3 in the month
of May, 1894, and SS6 in 1898. The
lowest conditions are in Texas, Indi-
ana, and Iowa, and the highest in New
