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 21a H. 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 $4,000 gallons of water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex-
ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at cost of about 8 cents for each fill
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined to
road sprinkling, but 1t 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

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. 1t is
durable and not at all likely to get out
of order, requiring neither engineer nor
machinist to keep it in condition for
work.
Sprinkling country roads has been
considerable of problem, and it is be-
lieved that this improvement will go
far towards an economical solution of
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works OF
San Francisco, furnish these wagons
and engines in any desired capacity, and
fully guarantee them in every way.

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 it's
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 go 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
a 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.

BicycIe Race on Shipboard,

On the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company's steamship Empress of ia
pan the monotony of the last voyage out
was relieved by the holding of athletic
sports. A novel event was a bicycle
race-probably the first ever held on
board ship. The distance was mile,
and the course was ten times around
the hurricane deck. The race was won
by the chief engineer in the good time
of 6 minutes and % seconds.

Much Sweeter Than SUGAR

The newly discovered chemical SUBJ
stance, sugarine, or benzol-sulfnid, is
likely to have an important influence
upon commerce in several directions.
Unlike saccharine, which never became
very popular, sugarine contains none
of the obnoxious para sacid. 1t is chem
ically pure substance, 600 times as
sweet as sugar. and yet obtainable at
one-twelfth the cost.

Trust Regulations 1u Austria.

Trust Regulations iu Austria.
In Austria the books of all trusts and
similar organizations are subject to ex-
animation by the minister of finance,
and the officials are compelled to furnish
any desired information relative to their
business. The minister of finance also
has the power to nullify any action on
the part of combines intended to de-
crease or increase the price of goods to
the detriment of legitimate producers
or consumers, and the trust officials
may be required to give bond to comply
with these regulations.

No Decrease in Exports.

The August report of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department
shows that there has yet been no de-
crease in our exports of manufactures
under the Dingley tariff. We are told
that:
1.-The present indications are for eX-
! ports of this character, amounting to
| 1924, 100000 for the calendar year 1897,
as compared with $2O1. .153, ,663 for 1895
and $253, $685. 527 for 1896" .--.
| This will be a gain of 500, 100000 over
the 1895 exports. and of $4,000, 900
over the 1896 exports of American
| manufactures. Last August'S ship
ments of such goods exceeded by near
| ly 100000 in value the August, 1895,
exports, and they were 81, 100000 more
than similar exports in August, 1896.
In view of the fact that American
manufacturers are now busily EN-
| ployed in making goods with which to
| supply the American market, it is quite
| possible that there may be a falling off
| in our exports of American manufac-
lures. We first need to retain and sup
! ply our home market. If, after doing
that, we can sell our goods profitably
in other markets. then let us secure all
of such trade that is possible. But our
past experience has been that our sales
| of manufactured goods to foreign cOun-
| tries were not all attended with a
profit. On such basis we do not want
| any foreign business.
That important business barometer, the
bank clearings Of the country, continues
to indicate clearly and certainly business
prosperity. The total September clear
ings at seventy eight cities are quoted by
Bradstreet's as $5,521, ,933, 1882, a gain of
nearly Is per cent over August, 1897, and
so per cent over September of last year.
The total is only ~ per cent smaller than
, , that of the highest month on record, De-
cember, 1892.

Watching the Yankee Closely

According to the latest advices from
America, the Yankees are determined
to secure their share of the worlds s
trade in iron and steel, and for this pur-
pose six manufacturers in Pittsburg
and the vicinity have formed a COM
pany called the Export Iron and Steel
Company, the objects of which are to
enter and seek trade in the British
markets. The officers of the company
have been opened at Pittsburg. The
capital is only $4,000, but sufficient
backing has been obtained to guaran-
tee any amount as soon as the increase
of the business demands it. A London
agent has been appointed, and an at
tempt viii be made to do business in
India, South America and Japan. The
Americans are an enterprising body
thing in hand they do it we'll; it there
fore behoves every iron and steel firm
of this country to watch Mr.. Yankees
movements very closely. 1t will, per-
haps, be easier to checkmate early, be-
fore he holds anything like a strong
position on the board. We know well
what they can do; If not we have only
to look at the tin plate trade. In this
branch they, in very short time, built
up huge industry, driving our Welsh
friends practically out of their market,
and have now made their. first ship
ment towards establishing an export
trade in tin plates.-Ryland's Iron
Trade Circular" England.

upon by traders for a decline here

because London prices did not reflect the
degree ot apprehension that naturally ex-

ever was shortlivet and during the greater part
OF the day the tendency Of prices was downward.
There was actual pressure 10 sell stocks. A.

that the anthracite coal shares. particularly
