FINE MARKET IN GERMANY.
California Dried Fruits Find Ready Sale
Here.

' Here.
Germany offers fine market for
California dried fruits, according to
information furnished the state de
partment by Frank II. Mason, United
States consul general at FranlIfort-on-
the-Main. Sun-dried California april
cots, peaches and pears, he says, sell
at retail in Frankfort and neighboring
towns for % 10 IS cents a pound and
their use in Germany, even at those
prices, is steadily increasing. Mr..
Mason points out that there is mar
gin of 16 cents between the price the
grower gets in California for each
pound of this fruit and the price he
can obtain in Germany, thus giving
him chance for large profits by ship
ping his sun-dried product abroad.
The cost of the fruit, when landed at
Hamburg or Bremen, freight and duty
paid, would not exceed nine cents per
pound, exclusive of packing and hand
ling.

a time from the feed chest to a long line
of cattle cribs. A better plan is to make
such barrow as is shown in the cut,
with small wheel at either side, and
mix the whole ration in it at once. Then
wheel the mass along before the stalls
and shovel out into each crib the proper
amount. Half the labor of feeding grain
will in this way be saved. The same
kind of a barrow will be found useful
in feeding roots to stock.-N. Y. Tri-

Where grain is fed to lot of stock
the mixing of individual messes in in

the direction of the wind, and the dot
ted one the direction of rotation. 1t
will be seen that as each set of sails
come into the right position for work
they slow down gently against the
arm which supports them and carry
it with them half way around the cir
Gle. The wind then penetrates under
the free lateral edge of each and swings
them all out backward, SO that they
offer no resistance as the arm comes
up into the wind again. AS yet, DR..
Shaw has not yet completed his model,
but he believes that there will be no
serious slamming as the sails suddenly
swing back. Should there be trouble
of this kind, however, he would inter-
pose spring buffers to lessen the noise
and destructive action consequent upon
the battering of his shutters. An auto
matte regulator, not represented here,
throws the sails out of action in a
gale.
Another device, patented by car
penter of Topeka, Kan, also has sails
revolving in a horizontal plane, and is
provided with means for keeping their
edges to the wind when moving against
the latter. Through vertical shaft
(which conveys the power obtained
down to suitable transmitting mechan-
ism) he runs two horizontal shafts, at
right angles with each other. These
shafts are arranged to rock, or under
go partial rotation first in one direc-

THERE'S NOTHING IN 1T.
Opinion of Venezuelan Minister of Latest
Claim Set Forth.

Minister Andrade, the Venezuelan
minister, is amused by the claim set
forth by Commander Clement Mark
ham, president of the Royal Geograph-
ical society, in the London Times, to
England's so-called indisputable rights
to all the Essiquibo basin to the west
ward of the already abandoned Schom-
burgk line. The minister says the arti-
Gle, coming from an officer of the Brit
ish government, and therefore given
such prominence, is so misleading in it's
conclusions which are reached from ut
terly false premises that anyone who
has considered the official documents in
the case would see the absurdity of it.

HUNG IN MIDAIR.
The Perilous Plight of Q Soldier in Chi
 naAa Thihef.

ucS6 lulDoCs
 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

Sufficient bronze had been given him to complete the monument. and he was responsible for the entire amount. Finding himself face to face with bank ruptcy he melted up his scoriae and mixed the metal with cheap refuse which he purchased, and so completed the founding. The castings, however, were found to be so full of flaws that the work was stopped, and the founder ruined. The holdings of the different parts of the bas-relief were so badly executed thatthe chiselers who repaired the defects removed no less than 70 tons of bronze. They received for their labor s 12,000, to which was added the 70 tons of bronze, which became their perquisites. The whole transaction was very, very French.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

''The best scientific authorities pre- canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that "a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration. The sum of $9,OOO,0OO has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal syS- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,000,000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50, 100000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

RUINED BY A CONTRACT.

An Iron Founder Undertakes Something
 Outside of His Line.
 The founder of the Vendome column in Paris met with financial ruin in his contract. The French government, when it decided to erect the notable column, entered into contract with an iron founder, says the Philadelphia Record. He knew nothing whatever of modelling or casting in bronze. The government agreed to supply him with cannon captured e"o,n the Russians and Austrians during the campaign of 1895, in quantities sufficient to found the monument. The contractor, know ing nothing of the phenomena which the fusion of bronze offers, found when two-thirds of the 1olumn was com pleted that he !" - up all his metal.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told or 8
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

IA
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story ot a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, dozen miles from his usual baunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came cut to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long"
 "You must be doing well?"
 'I think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 ''T'm always glad to help, if l can."
 s'I knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez we'll ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit.'
 Are you making any money"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 "No, ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; 'but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckOos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents. will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into
