cher has made report of great interest to
the state department concerning the trou-
bles Venezuela has had with European
nations seeking to seize upon her territory
ana substance, and pointing out the
splendid opportunity open to the United
States to extend our trade with Venezuela
ut the expense of other nations.
The consul says that the past year has
been an eventful one for Venezuela in her
efforts for economic and political reor-
ganization. He describes the opportunity
lost by the United States from 1890 to 1894,
owing to the refusal of Venezuela to ac-
cept the reciprocity propositions of the
United States, but that since the duties
Were decreased he notes u slight improve

Ing from S4,O00,000to s., 500, 900.

Fgela 10 the financial and political trou-
bles ol that country, and says Ii the pres
ent crisis passes, tae Upilj stqtSs will
nave great advantage, owing to the DIP
lomatic complications with Germany and
Great Britain, our commercial rivals.
Tiha permnns he says, "are looked
upon with but little favor, on account of
the th Fat to send German ironcHids to La
Guaybta to enforce the payment of sub
sidy due the builders Of the principal
Venezuelan railway. The popular feeling
upon this point was intensified by sug-
gestlon in leading newspaper that the
Germans knew very well that such pay
ment was just now ~ impossibility, as
the country was Staggering under the
burdens Of the late war, and that they |
Neither Expected Nor Desired Payment,
but, encouraged by the example of Great
Britain, they probably imagined thatit
might be possible to Secure a part OF the !,
rich Guiana territory as an indemnity,i
The feeling against Great Britain, he
continues "is now most intense through.
out Venezuela. Pamphlets and news
papers are constantly being published re-
specting British aggressions, but as they
do not circulate outside the country the
world at large is not acquainted with the
state of feeling"
Mr.. Plumacher says that on these ac-
counts the United States is in much favor,
especially as Venezuela is now, as never
before, looking to the United States for
counsel and guidance. The people of the
country wo, I'd prefer to trade with the
United States. New York is but six DAYS
from the Venezuelan coast. The Ameri-
can steamship line has been one of the
principal factors In building up trade on
the coast.
Mr.. Plumacher also says: 'It Is to |
Americans also that Venezuela looks
today for the development of her great
natural resources, and the government |
would be glad to grant most favorable |
concessions to companies or individuals
from the United States who come in good
faith for that purpose"

The Oceans upheaved Bed.
From the san Francisco Examiner.

From the san Francisco Examiner.
Antonio Caballero, returning recently
from an otter-hunting expedition to San
Miguel and Flea Island, reports the re
currence of the upheavals of the earth
surface in that vicinity. Caballero was
engaged in hunting. and ii was the search
for seal and otter that led him 10 Flea
Island on July 4
Flea Island, or, as it is called on the
map. Castle Rock, lies off the north shore
Of san Miguel Island about half mile
Ii Is a rocky. double cone-like formation,
about a quarter Of mite long and perhaps
200 yards across the widest part, and
divided into two parts at high tide. An
isthmus of solid rock can be seen at the.
ebb. The isle Is never visited except by
seal hunters.
Caballero says he went across this 18th
mus ON the first day Of his hunt. He
had frequently visited the place, and at
this time noticed no change in the general
outline Of the island Two days later he
again crossed to Castle Rock, and ON reach
ing the isthmus found that the rocky layer,
formerly an even stretch with an unbroken
surface, had been torn apart and immense
boulders weighing from 500 TO 1000
pounds thrown up.
Tons upon tons of these hard Aint-li
rocks had been scattered on every hand,
broken from their solid bed as if by a
mighty blast The iSthmus was still pass
able. but. instead Of walking overa pave
ment t-like neck of rock. the hunter picked
his way among broken stones, quarried by
nature hand. Elsewhere about the island
no change was noticed Caballero was
completely astonished, and, like every one.
is seeking an explanation Of the strange
disturbance.
He reports having witnessed breakers
in the vicinity of Richardson Rock, in
spot where the sea was supposed TO be Of
depth sufficient for the largest ship. Rich
ardson' Rock is about six or seven miles
from the western extremity of San Miguel,
and the breakers were noticed in these
places averaging about mile southwest of
the rock. They were seen only when the
sea was running high. This would indi
cate that not only the surface of the land,
but the bed of the ocean, is undergoing
change there,
1t is a fact of interest to scientists and
of still more interest to those who live near
the spot. This remarkable occurrence fol-
lows 50 closely the recent seismic convul-
sions of San Miguel Island that the theory
of change taking place seems abundantly
borne ont

a HUGE TROPICAL GARDEN.
The island of Ceylon is nothing more
than a huge tropical garden, with rich and
luxuriant vegetation everywhere; bamboos
and palms loaded with cocoanuts the fra
grant cinnamon and nutmeg rare and
beautiful plants withouts number, birds
with the gayest of plumage and insects of
all eolors serve to make the entire island
veritable garden The climate. too, is
delightful; the temperature seldom exceeds
80 degrees and never falls below 10 de-
gress. and is always tempered by the cool
breezes blowing from the sea. Colombo
the capital, contains population of 12O,
900, and has fine artificial harbor and
beautiful drives over the smoothest of
roads The climate here is hotter than
the rest Of the island, but the highlands
and cooler weather can be readily reached,
as four hours ride over a fine railroad
brings one to Randy, the old capital of
the ancient Kings with an elevation of
about 1900 feet above the sea level
The Cingalese indulge to great extent
in the very disagreeable habit of ''betel
nut chewing, which corresponds to the
use of tobacco in more civilized countries
and is if anything, much more disgusting,
as the saliva formed is of blood-red color
The betel nut is about the size of a nut
meg and is obtained from the Areca palm.
Small pieces of these nuts wrapped along
with little lime in the leaf of the betel
pepper form a charge upon which the ma
tive industriously chews and expectorates
for hours. with the effect that the mouth
and gums are soon burnt and shriveled
causing the teeth to stand out as huge red
tusks.
The principal industry Of the island was
formerly coffee planting, and it became
one Of the coffee centres Of the world, but
in 1869 the coffee leaf disease appeared.
and in year or two the coffee industry
was almost destroyed and nearly all the
planters ruined. Since an evil is often
productive of good, it proved to be so in
the case of the coffee disaster, for in the
midst of depression it was found that tea
would thrive in Ceylon, and at the present
time tea planting has assumed such pro-
portions that the export for 1891 was
about 90, 600, 900 pounds against 80
pounds exported at the beginning of the
industry in 1873; while each year shows
a constant increase the planters declaring
that the climate and soil are more fitted
to make Ceylon a great tea producer than
ii ever was to grow coffee The coffee
disaster also brought einehona. cocoa and
the india rubber tree into more active cul-
tiyation 50 that Ceylon no longer carries
all her eggs in one basket, and blight in
one industry win not again bring ruin over
the entire island j. X b.

Two Crops from One Seeding.

Captain \. j. Corkran, of Dorchester
county, Md, has just harvested crop of
winter oats from a fve-acre field. A
month or so ago the Captain became dis
eouraged at the prospect of crop of oats,
so thickly set had the ground become with
darnel, and had the field moved, after
reaching the conclusion that the hay was
all he would get. In short time after
the darnel had been cut the oats put up
and began to head and in time were har-
vested, making reaping of two separate
crops from one sowing in a very short
period of time. The Captain and his
neighbors regard this as something remark
able and unheard of before in that section
