The mental aud moral destruction

unfortunately has been only too
frequently demonstrated. This
point has led to some discussion &.
respecting the expediency of reject

One authority has even gone so far

moral obliquity as to truthfulness
present in such person would be
perfectly uncomfortable, under any

any definite decision upon the
question of receiving or rejecting

SATURDAY, APRIL II.
ABOUT DOLLAR WHEAT.

There is very general impress
sion that the upward turn of the
wheat market means something
more than merely speculative
advance and that dollar wheat is
really within sight. 1t is altogether
too early to make any sort of calcu-
lations on the prospects of our own
forthcoming crop except so far as
the backward season in the spring
wheat belt is concerned; but
Argentine shipments are less than
usual, India is pronounced unusu.
ally short and there are indications
that Russia is coming in for a
shortage also.
Exports from this country are less
than in former years, and the wish
BILE supply grows more threatening
rather than otherwise. Mr.. p. d.
Armour takes roseate view of the
course of the market. but he fails to
say from what source he gets his
inspiration-whethc IL is from his
desire to realize on his large hold
ings, or because he really has gift
OF second sight in the premises.
The Ohio state crop report places
the condition of winter wheat at 81
per cent of the average, which is
the lowest on record. In the West
generally there is prospect quite
up to the average 80 far as condi.
ton is concerned, though the acre
age is somewhat short.
1t is long step from present
prices to the dollar mark. 1t may
be that some time between this and
the shipment of the first part of the
new crop. dollar wheat will be a
feature of the Chicago market, and
that Mr.. Armour will realize the
full extent of his expectations; but
this is of interest mainly to the
spectators. The farmer has very
little interest in fluctuations from
this time OH to the harvesting of
the new crop, except insofar as they
give some indications of the effect
which will extend TO the new crop.
If any farmer has any eonsidcra-
BILE amount of his last years pro-
duction on hand, he would do well
TO let it go on the top of the wave
preceding the coming harvest.
The chances are that any bulge in
prices will be the result of specu-
lative manipulation more than any
actual growth of the demand

The Deepest Shaft In the World.

Inc Deepest Snatt IN tne WOriu.
At the greatest depth ever attain
ed by miners in the history of the
world, the mines in the vertical Red
Jacket shaft of the Calumet & Hecla
copper mine have recently stopped
sinking at a depth of 1890 feet, a.
this is the required depth necessary
for this company to reach the limit
OF it's underground territory. Bored
wells have been carried down to n
greater depth, but the Red Jacket
shaft is the largest and best con-
structed mining shaft in the world.
Its inside dimensions are 14x221a
feet, divided into six compartments
aud timbered throughout with pine.
The shaft was started in the fall of
1880. The new shaft rock house,
which will be built of iron and will
be made fireproof throughout, is
the only part of the work necessary
to put this deep shaft in commits
sion, as the hosting machinery,
which consists of two pairs of
triple expansion engines of 5000
horse power per pair, and will hoist
a load of ten tons sixty feet per sec.
ond, was planned and put in place
while the sinking of the shaft was
going on.-Scientific American.
