LEWIS & CO.,
THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.

Faithful friend, four-footed,
Earnest, tried and true,
Horseless cabs and wagons
Soon will exile you.
Never mind, dear hossie,
Just stand up and grin;
City may despise you,
Country'll take you in;
There you're viewed with favor:
So hold up your head;
There they do not deem you
Quite as good as dead,
Fierce electric currents
Drive you out of town;
Cable cars and trolleys
Force your value down;
But there is a refuge,
Honest friend and true,
In the open country
For the likes of you.

CORN AS FUEL.
Reasons Why IL Would Not BE Alto
Rether Practicable

He"so"s why III Wouid Not he Alto
gether Practicable.
In a general way it has been recog-
nized that when corn is abundant and
cheap, and coal is expensive, the former
makes a cheaper fuel than the latter, al
though no scientific determination of
their relative efficiency has ever been
made, so far as the author is aware
During the past winter, however, a
number of inquiries were received by
the department of agriculture of the
University of Nebraska, asking for in
formation about the efficiency of corn
as fuel, and the author undertook the
investigation of this subject.
From the experience of the author in
conducting boiler tests of corn, it is
doubtful whether il would be a prac-
ticable fuel for the generation of pow
er, unless it were burned in some spe-
cial furnace that would insure the per-
feet combustion of the volatile matter
which forms so large a percentage of
the whole corn, since the fire burns rap
idly and must be frequently fired, max
ing the work of the firemen very ard
uous, and at the same time tending to
cause incomplete combustion through
the fire door.
Undoubtedly, corn may at times be a
cheap and economical fuel for domestic
use. 1t is cleaner and more easily
handled than coal, and contains but a
very small amount of ash. 1t burns
rapidly with an intense heat, which
is apt 10 be destructive to the cast iron
Innings of the stove. Here, again, some
special form of fire box, that will not
be injured by the heat, and that will
utilize as much of the heat rs possible,
should be used. If the rate of combus-
ton be too great, much of the heat will
pass up the chimney.-Prof. r. Richards,
in Cossier's Magazine.

Crops May he Grown I'm n Limited
Way md Live stock VIII Thrive.
DR.. Evans and Benton KILN, COM
missioners appointed to investigate the
agricultural possibilities of Alaska,
have submitted their reports TO Sec
retary of Agriculture Wilson. The re-
ports agree that while comparatively
little agriculture exists there il is pos
s;ble that enough of certain crops and
animals may be grown to sustain con-
siderable population, provided proper
methods are pursued. While Director
True, of the division of experiment sta
tions, does not regard as feasible the
establishment of agricultural expert
ment stations there, he believes that
experiments may be carried on in
number of lines with great success.
The two commissioners spent three
months investigating the southern coast
region of Alaska. The reports say cul-
tivated areas in Alaska are confined TO
small kitchen gardens, in which are
grown many of our earlier and harder
vegetables. Stock raising is carried on
to a very limited extent. The possible
extension of the pastunge and gar
dening area is quite considerable. Es-
Inmates are made of an expense of 5000
per acre in preparing the soil for cul-
tivation. What agriculture there will
be in Alaska will be subsidiary to fish
ing and other industries, according to
Mr.. Killin's separate report. Fisher
men will locate on Alaska lands and
make homes. At the present ratio Mr..
KILN says the salmon will soon be de-
stroyed. They are being fished for in
the spawning waters to such an extent
that they have no opportunity to prop
agate Halibut, cod and herring will
last forever. Timber will not go into the
market until the yellow fir or Douglas
as it is superior to the Alaskan spruce
or hemlock.
As fast as the timber is taken off
small fruits and green vegetables can
be grown, and grass will be furnished
for the domestic animals. Grasses grow
TO great perfection. Little was seen OF

AS to the country from the southern
bouBdry TO Kodiak and Long islands
aud from the Pacific to the coast or
Alaskan mountains, the climate is ex-
tremely wet, but not cold; winters are
very long. and the feeding period will
be at least seven months. The cereals
will not ripen and the vegetables will

Seeking for n "Clou."

The "clou," or great overshadowing
feature of the forthcoming Paris expo
sItion, is yet lacking, and the manage
ment has so far vainly sought for it
amid the myriad of practicable schemes
broached by inventors and theorists
and cranks, and are still in search of
new ideas and encouraging their pres
entation. An immense captive balloon,
an enormous telescope and 2OO-ton
monumental clock are among the sug-
gestions; as are also great panoramas
of the world, giant electric gyroscope,
typical streets of each country, a lace
and thousand other schemes more or
less visionary; but meanwhile the man.
agement is yet bewailing the great
unfound "clou" which is TO take in the
coming exhibition the place of the
Eiffel tower in the last.-Detroit Free

INDIANS IN GENERAL.
The total Indian population of
the United States, exclusive of the
New York Indians and those in
the Indian Territory embraced in
what is generally known as the
FIVE civilized tribes. numbers ap-
proximately III, lis. They are
located on III reservations, situ-
ated in various sections OF the
country. containing approximately
33 ,404 ,S37 acres. Four thousand
five hundred and forty five have
accepted allotments OF land, sggre-
eating about 744, 147 acres. No
serious outbreak of disturbance has
occurred during the year, and the
progress of the Indians toward CIV
ilization has been as substantial as
surrounding circumstances and
conditions permitted. The neces-
sity for their becoming an inde-
pendent and self,supporiing peo-
pie has been impressed upon them
by all proper means, and they have
been encouraged to take allotments
of land in severalty and work the
same, engage in farming and other
useful occupations, and to place
their children in the Indian
schools. where they could not on
ly get the knowledge OF the En-
glish language. but receive such
practical instruction in the several
trades as would best fit them for
competition with the whites. Re-
munerative work has been pro-
vided by the department for the
Indians wherever it has been prac-
ticable so to do. During the year
1864 were employed in the Indian
service proper, to whom were paid
salaries aggregating 1922, ,2S2, and
903 were appointed to places in the
Indian school service, to whom
were paid iii the aggregate slS1 ,046
for salaries.
The secretary recommends that
the time for the allotment of lands
in the Uncompahgre reservation
be extended for such time beyond
April /, 1898, as congress may
deem best. He also recommends
such legislation as will enable the
people of the United States TO reap
the benefit of the gilsonite and
asphalt lands in this reservation
"AttentiOn is called 10 the fact
that the time is rapidly approach
ing when another census must be
taken, and the secretary urges the
necessity for immediate Legislation
upon this subject. 81 n satisfied, u
he says, "that many of the diff
culties which have arisen during
the past two or three enumeratiOns
would have been avoided had the
officer in charge of the census office
had sufficient time for preparation
With ample time the head of the
census office can work out the de
tails OF methods that will insure
for the coming enumeration many
reforms over past methods, and
among these reforms there should
be some means by which the in
quiries can be reduced and the
number and size of the reports or
final results greatly lessened.
