The illustration shows a wagon and
pumping outfit just completed by the
Hercules Gas Engine Co., Of San Fran
cisco and now in use by the Supervisors
of Tulare county upon the roads near
Visalia.
1t consists Of an improved type of an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and plat
form built at the rear of the tank upon
which stands az n. P. Special Her
cules Gasoline Engine geared to g.
inch centrifugal pump. From this
pump runs rubber suction hose and
discharge pipe into the tank. The tank
holds 1900 gallons of water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex-
coed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at cost of about cents for each fill
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined to
road sprinkling, but it is applicable to
any purpose where water has to be
hauled, as, for instance, supplying
threshing machinery or conveying water
from one point to another for any pur-
pose. The simplicity of the engine
makes its use perfectly safe and relia.
BILE, as it is automatic in action, all
that is needed being to open the valve
admitting the gasoline, and to give the
wheel start with the hand. It il
durable and not at all likely to get out
of order, requiring neither engineer mol
machinist to keep it in condition fol
work.
Sprinkling country roads has beer
considerable of problem, and it is be-
lieved that this improvement will &c
far towards an economical solution OF
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works Of
San Francisco, furnish these wagons
and engines in any desired capacity, ano
fully guarantee them in every way.

One of the reports of the edocationaI

table devoted to university life. In
quiries have been instituted as to the
arrangements made for women students
at 1872 of the universities of the civil
lied nations in both hemispheres, and
139 replies were received. The ques-
tions asked were: Are women admit
ted as members of the universities
Are they admitted on the same terms
as men? Are they admitted to lectures:
Are they admitted to examinations
Are they eligible for university degrees!
It is significant of the advanced liber-
alism of Scotland and Wales that their
five universities have no answer but

medical courses in the north country.

says: sNo advantage is granted to

Welsh makers could not help this, and
It is not their fault If the American
works, brand new in all their appoint

than the Welsh mills. Besides, the
Americans get their tin bars cheaper.
With all this it is surprising that the

IMPROVED sPRINKLING WAGON
A Device that Does Away With Road
side Pumps and Tanks.

A Device that Does Away With Road
side Pumps and Tanks.
A recent improvement in sprinkling
wagons bids fair to revolutioniZe road
and street sprinkling in the country
where there is no water system to sup
ply water from hydrants. Heretofore
it has been the custom to erect pump
ing plants, or to pipe water from dis
tant points to stations along the road at
such distances that the load at one of
these stations would last until the
wagon reached the next station On its
trip. This plan makes necessary the
expense Of piping, tanks, wells, horse
powers, etc., and has always been a
very considerable item of expense, and
more or less of an obstacle to having
roads we'll watered.
The improvement consists in attach
ing gasoline engine and centrifugal
pump on platform at the rear of the
sprinkling wagon SO that water can be
taken from any convenient source. A
suction hose with foot valve is attached
to the pump which can be lowered into
tank, creek, watering trough, or any
water source. The wagon driver then
starts the engine, and in from six to
ten minutes his wagon is filled.

Facts established sooner or later con
troll wheat values. Speculation may
temporarily advance or depress values,
but in the end the laws of supply and
demand are sure to assert themselves
and control values. It has been self
evident proposition for several weeks
past that conditions warranted higher
values. Speculative influences have
repeatedly driven prices downward. bus
the market has rebounded with the
buoyancy of cork upon the water.
The news announcements OF the week
have been uniformly favorable to high
er values Crop advices at home indi-
cate less than an average acreage seeded
to winter wheat, owing to the pro-
tracted drought, which has been broken
only in certain sections of the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at primary points
are falling off and promise from this on
to prove smaller than last year. Ex-
port clearances continue large, 5,991,
600 bushels for the week, which IS
largely in excess of our exportable sur
plus weekly. The export demand shows
no signs of diminution. On the con-
trary, it is urgent and increasing, the
last few days of the week having re-
suited in very large sales for export.
Foreign advices continue extremely
bullish. The reports of our own con-
suls in Europe more than confirm the
maximum estimates Of European i'm
port requirements. Advices from Lon
don assert that Mediterranean ports are
outbidding England for Russian wheat.
The French chamber of deputies has
been petitioned to reduce the import
duty on wheat, and some action In this
direction will probably be taken sooner
or later, although not necessarily at
present, Russian advices, although al
ways unreliable and largely mythical,
are extremely bullish and must neces-
sarily have some foundation on fact.
The Argentine crop is still an unknown
quantity. Reports are conflicting.
Drought conditions have prevailed.
Locusts have caused some damage, and
in the absence of reliable reports it can
not be assumed that the crop will be
large one in yield. Local speculative
conditions are extremely favorable for
higher values. Stocks on contract grain
are very small, practically exhausted,
and there is no immediate prospect OF
their being replenished. We can dis
cover nothing in the situation at home
or abroad warranting any declines In
values, and would regard any decline as
but temporary. unwarranted, and
therefore good speculative opportun-
ity to buy wheat, the final outcome OF
which we anticipate to be much higher

Sentiment in Favor of Any Kind OF
Free Coinage of Silver Diminishing.
Why 1t Failed.

The practical failure of our bimetal-
lie commission to induce the leading
European nations to join in confer
ence to adopt an international ratio Tor
the coinage of gold and silver should
cause no surprise; neither should 1t pc
the occasion of regret. There is much
less intelligent sentiment to-day In IA
vor of any kind of free coinage OF silver
than there was in 1892. Two causes
have conspired to produce this change
of sentiment.
The first of these causes is the knowl-
edge Of the fact that, considering It's
uses, the output of silver is practically
limitless. Science, experience and cap
ital have revolutionized the methods OF
silver mining. But for the inventive
mind of man the production OF silver
would be so limited that its old value
before the bonanza mines were opened
could have been maintained. Science,
experience and capital have made the
annual production Of silver bullion so
