Tampa, Fla, May 22.-A re-
port has reached here that a
demonstration was made
againt the American consulate
at Havana. Considerable ex-
element prevails in Havana
over Washington reports, and
maledictions have been uttered
against United States officers
and also General Lee. The
Spanish officials fearing some
outbreak, have quietly placed
troops around the consulate.

voyage and many fierce fights with
armed merchant vessels and ships of
the King which tried to take them.
The old chronicles say hat in all
those engagement the two women pi-
rates fought like fiends, killing many
with their own hands and encouraging
the men to all sorts of horrible deeds.
At last there came along one of The
Kings ships too strong for Captain
Rackham to fight with successfully and
too swift for her to flee from. 1t Vas an
English frigate, and she at once gave
battle to the saucy pirate. A storm
Of grape and canister swept the decks
of the pirate ship, and the crew in
terror ran below. Anne Bonny and
Mary Reed, so far from leaving the
deck, waved their cutlasses in the faces
of the enemy Inc cursed them. Mary
Reed, drawing her pistol, fired into the
men who were huddled below, killing
one and wounding others. The ship of
the wicked Rackham was taken, AMI
those left alive on board of her were

Mary Reed, though they had exposed
themselves so ~recklessly in the fight,
were taken alive and carried to Eng
land to be tried. At the trial both were
found guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. Anne, however, was reprieved
from time to time, and finally escaped
execution. What ultimately became of
her is uncertain.

the experimental wheel is said to have
been ridden successfully last season,
says a writer in the Washington Star.
Both sprocket wheels differ from the
accepted pattern. The front sprocket
is about ten inches in diameter, con-
sisting of a hub and rim, connected by
tangent spokes, similar to the rear and
front wheels. The rim of the sprocket
is A-inch wide. Three inches apart on
its surface are the slots, 3-16 inch wide
and sis long. At each end of these
slots is a tooth, projecting one-quarter
inch.
The rear sprocket is similar except
that it's arms are solid. The pitch of
the teeth, if they may be called such,
is three inches, there being five slots
OF the rear sprocket. The driving ca
Bile is made Of piano wire, and is said
to be able to sustain a dead weight OF
a ton. Two strands Of the wire are
used, passing through rollers at such
distances apart that the rollers fit into
the slots in the sprockets. The wire
is crossed as it passes through each
slipping. Claims Of 1 ghtness, strength
and frictionless running are made. The
bearings are of the four-ball order, "
inch balls in a ball retaining separator
being used. No oil is required, and the
bearing is practically two-point.

sailor. The pair, somehow, found their
way to the island of Old Providence,
then a great pirate resort.
At Old Providence Anne found a man
who pleased her more than her sailor
in the person of Captain Rackham, a
mighty plunderer of the seas, a storm
er of cities, a slayer of men and a taker
of gold-laden Spanish galleons. Rack
ham and Anne were married, and they
put to sea in his ship on a voyage of
blood and plumber.
There never was a crew in the world
that approved the captain taking his
wife to sea with him. Pirate crews
were no exception. Rackham did not
care to run counter to the wishes Of
his gallant crew, for pirates were a
hasty folk, and it was i'll arguing with
them. So Anne went on board her hus-
bands ship disguised as a cabin boy.
On board the ship she found a woman
named Mary Reed, who was disguised

MANDFoRAMERlcAN WHEAT

Reasons Why There Is q Good Market
in Australia.
The reason why so large a quantity
of American wheat was imported into
Australia last year is explained by
Daniel W. Maratta, United States con-
sul-general at Melbourne, says the New
York Times. 1t appears that WOOL
growing is regarded by Australians as
much the most important industry,
and in pursuing that the Australian
farmer is often led to neglect the cult
walton OF wheat. AS a rule, the larger
"squatters,' or ranchmen, do not care
to devote their time to farming, pre-
ferring to give all Of their attention to
sheep raising. "The consumption Of
wheat in this colony" writes Consul
Maratta, sis at the rate of six bushels
to the acre, and as the crop Of last
year only yielded four and two-tenths
bushels to the acre, it will readily be
seen that the colonists were short of
their requirements nearly two bushels
to the acre. To meet this deficiency,
the first for a great many years, large
imports were made from the United
States. These shipments were made
from San Francisco, with the exception
of n or two vessels from New York.
1t is becoming a common custom
among Australian ranchmen to rent
their land for wheat-growing on shares,
the ranchmen furnishing the land and
the seed and some n%eighboring farmer
doing all the work. AS the wool-grow-
ing industry, however, is constantly
tending to crowd out the wheat cult
Hation, there is a prospect that in
creased demands upon America for
wheat supplies will be made in the fu-
ture. Mr.. Maratta says: "It has been
wondered how it is that Australia can
produce wool, and, for that matter,
sheep, so much more cheaply than
America, and the answer, too, is very
simple. First, the advantage lies in
the climate. Here you have a climate
where the sheep can and do safely
spend every night during the year in
the open air and without covering.
Then the pasturage is unlimited and
virtually free. The cost of labor is
cheaper than with us, and station liv-
ing is cheaper, and all these things
combine to cheaper the animal. You
can purchase at a retail butchers here
