RUSSIAN MOBILES RUINED.
Despite Government Aid, Their Estates Are
More and More Heavily Mortgaged.

Despite Government Aid, Their Estates Are
More and More Heavily Mortgaged.
Mr.. John Mitchell, British consul at
st. Petersburg, in the course of his an
nual report to Lord Salisbury upon the
condition of the country, says: "Ten
years of strenuous support of financial
character on the part of the govern
ment of the landlord class has failed to
yield the desired results. The Nobility
Land bank has proved unequal TO the
task of arresting the sure but gradual
Decay of the class in question. Mort
gagged estates were repeatedly, by hum
dreds and even thousands, destined to
be dealt with by the auctioneer's ham,
mer, but at the critical moment the
government has always interviewed with
new acts of grace which postponed the
evil day.
''At the present time more than 100,-
600 estates, or Al per cent. of the whole
area Of the land owned by mobiles, are
mortgaged to various government and
private land credit institutions, and the
amount of money advanced on these es-
tates has reached 1850, 100000 rubles
e126, 5O0,000), of which sum 1,174, O00,-
600 rubles 6 117,200,000) still remains
owing. In the course Of the last five
years (1SS0-1S94), the Indebtedness Of
landed estates to private land banks
increased over 100000 rubles (es,-
20O,0O0), and these banks last year
reaped a profit of moro titan 100000
rubles { 6 700,000) on these operations.
"Of the enormous CAPITAL of the No
bility Land bank, exceeding 6 5O,oo0,-
600, created by the government for the
express purpose of making money adj
vances to landlords, but little has been
paid back, and but little improvement
has been made in the cultivation Of
estates. 1t is asserted by those we'll
acquainted with provincial life that the
millions advanced to the noble land
lord class have not been expended in
the improvement of their estates, but
were spent on amusement, luxury, tray
els, payment of old debts and unprofit-
able enterprises.
Zone of the chief causes that threaten
the almost complete extinction of the
noble land-owning class is to be foun6
in absenteeism. The cultivation of land
unfortunately does not afford the no.

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion to single purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For o5 years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, it is
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.

Scientists on the Government Fish Commis-

monsters. They undoubtedly belong to the
order OF sen ssrpents occasionally reported
by marine men. The neck OF the dead SER

being ten feet long and tapering to a point
at the tail. It has the body Of snake, o
head like bulldog and fangs like tiger.
The body Is striped and spotted like rattle

Of the vertebrae, and similar ole under
meath, extending from the stomach to the
tail. Behind the gils are small side fms. It
possesses many heavy molar teeth, besides
long, sharp incisors, partly curved like a

that the monsters are partly herbiverous.

DEVASTATION BY ARMY WORMS.
Havoc Wrought in Iowa by Swarms OF
Greedy Insects.

---~~~~~N
Army worms have eaten up pasture for
L. L. Burchets. northeast Of Bloomfield.
Iowa. They are not regular army worms
but there are armies Of them just the
same. They are by no means confined to
Mr.. Burchett's place, but are found in
various places in almost all parts OF the
county. They have much the appearance Of
cut worms, except that they are hardly so
dark and are very active. They appear so
far to be confined to blue grass pastures
where the grass was not eaten off last fall,
and they cont1ne their work almost ex-
cluslvely to blue grass. passing by the clover
and timothy spots i'll the pasture and eating
the blue grass. A reporter made visit to
James McGowen's pasture, where they were
at work. and found them covering the
ground almost as closely as chinch bugs
Usually are found, and the grass after they
had left 1t looked very much like it does
when burned up by drought.
They are short-lived, and in many places
already they are dying off. While they are
doing great damage to pastures, having eaten
over hundreds of acres for 4. T. Hotchkiss,
S. S. Standley, Harvey Wray, John Wallace
and others. it is not thought that they will
do much damage in any other way or to
other crops, yet It is too soon to be able to
Judge, as they have only been at work about
ten days. It seems difficult to stop them,
although some success has been accomplished
by ditching the ground, the same as is some
times done for chinch bugs.

A Wild Goose's Strange Nest.

that one day, as Anton Burgosen was
going to his work at Aliens brewery.
he saw a flock of wild geese flying
overhead. The better to look at them,
he took off his hat, holding it out
stretched, and then, to his astonish-
ment, saw one goose drop in the air
toward him. His vision being keen
be had not reached the brewery yet;
indeed, had he, this would not be re-
lated as q fact, for Aliens beer is good
he saw something drop from the
goose like shot, straight for his hat,
and fall safely therein. The some
thing was an egg! A real egg!
The goose evidently saw the oppor-
tunity to deposit its egg in a safe
place, and gagged it to hair. Bur
eosen could not believe his eyes; yet
there was the egg, sure enough, and.
save for slight bruise at the upper
end, perfectly uninjured. The egg
and Anton are now at Aliens brewery,
and will verify this story, 1t is d
most astonishing thing, not heard OF
more than once in lifetime.
