The distance across the United
States is found to be 2,625.2 geo.
graphical miles from the lighthouse
six miles north Of Cape May, N. j.,
to the lighthouse six miles south OF
Punta Arenas, following the thirty
ninth parallel Of latitude as closely
as possible. This is conceded to be
about the mean breadth ofthe coun-
try. A glance at the map will show
that the United States is much wild
er toward the north and much mar
rover toward the gulf coast, but the
thirty-ninth parallel is about as fair
an average as can be drawn. The
measurements were made by TRAN
gulation-that is, by taking obser-
vations from fixed landmarks and
verifying them by astronomicaltests.
The distance across the continent
thus obtained is 140 feet longer than
that reported by Bessels in 1856
and 9s feet longer than that report.

indianapolis Sun:-John c. New
saws he wishes he were managing
an independent paper. In view OF
the attitude of the republicans TO-
ward the money question, there are
a large number OF persons here in
Indiana who harbor the hope that
Mr.. News rock-ribbed republican
paper will be independent enough
to tell the truth and warn Mckinley
and his friends at Washington that
they are playing dangerous game.
So far the chief cause Of the election
Of McKinley-the money question
has been totally ignored by that very
worthy gentleman in order that hc
might push his hobby Of high pro-
lection. There is no loud demand
for change in the tariff except from
the trusts and combines, but the
whole people are calling for none
tary reform. 1t is remarkable that
Mckinley is so blind as to fail t.
discover the truth of this assertion.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY EXPERT

MENT STATION, April u, '97.
Early in April the Indiana Agri-
cultural experiment station received
a quantity of sugar beet seed sent
to it by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture for distribution
in this State. BY arrangement
with the government, this seed was
to be distributed to persons in lndi-
ana who would agree to grow GER
tain specified area of beets under
the direction of the Station. and at
the proper time would harvest the
roots and send samples to the Sta
ton Tor examination for sugar con-
tents.
This seed has now been distribut-
ed to the proper parties in Indiana,
and the Station will be unable to
send out more this season. This
statement is made fer the benefit of
those contemplating writing for
seed, and as explanatory to those
who have written for seed that has
not been sent them.
A great deal is being said and
written at the present time concern
ing sugar beet culture in the United
States. Beet sugar factories are be-
ing built at several points, and
farmers are planting sugar beet
seeds in many States this spring.
1t will interest the readers of this
journal to know that the Indiana
Experiment Station for nine consec-
utive years has been engaged in
growing sugar beets and studying
the adaptability of this State to
profitable sugar beet culture. In
February 1891, bulletin was issued
by the Station containing imforma-
ton on seei, climate, soil, planting,
cultivation and harvesting OF sugar
beets, with results of sugar tests OF
beets grown in different counties OF
the State under the direction of the
Station or the U. 5. Dept. Of Agri-
culture. In April, 1892, another
bulletin containing additional infor-
nation along the same line, with
results OF examination of many
beets grown under Station direction
in different counties in 1891, was
published. This bulletin also con-
tanned an ccount of a new disease
Of sugar beets. In 1892, beet seeds
were sent to $50 points in 81 coun-
ties in Indiana by the Station, and
a bulletin in March, 1898, contained
a report of this work. In the spring
of 1898 seed was sent to 167 sub
stations. In March 1894, a % page
illustrated bulletin on sugar beets,
containing much information, with
many more Indiana tests, was pub
lished. In March, 1895, another
bulletin contained considerable data
along the same line, with analyses
of beets grown in % different coun-
ties of the State in 1894. In both
1895 and 1896 beet experiments
were continued. and the same may
he said for 1897, on better scale
than ever before.
This station has demonstrated
that Indiana is in the beet sugar
producing belt, though the work of
1897 it is hoped will add much to
our data on the subject.
The Station will be glad TO assist
all persons in the State who may
desire information in future on the
sugar beet question.

Such expressions as the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer indi-
cate what the political issue Of the
Immediate future will be-:
"Let US not be diverted in the
months to come from the one great
|issue-the restoration of the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver
equally with gold at the ratio OF
sixteen to one without consultation
with any nation. Our enemies re-
fuse to meet us in a fair discussion
on this great subject, but let US press
it home upon them. The people OF
Ohio are sound and true on this
question. They will have an op-
|portunity this fall to declare their
will.
In the contest about to COM
mence in Ohio we may expect the
|fiercest fighting on both sides that
has ever been witnessed in an OF
year election.
A Legislature will be chosen one
lof the duties Of which will be to
pronounce upon Mark Hanna's case,
whether he shall be elected for q
full term in the United States Sen
ate. That he will strain every nerve
and call into play every available
lpiece Of party machinery at his
command to insure Republican
majority may be taken for granted.
He has money and other resources
without limit and a disposition to
use all OF them without scruple.
Oh the other hand OF Democracy
of Ohio was never more united and
confident than now. The events
that have occurred since the election
Iof Mr.. Mckinley have not changed
the convictions Of any Of those who
supported the Democratic national
candidates in the campaign of last
year, while the disappointment at
1.-THE failure of the Mckinley admin
Iistration to restore prosperity will
bring thousands of votes to the
Democratic candidates which were
cast for the Republican national and
fstate tickets last November"
The Enquirer states the issue as
clearly as it was stated in Chicago
and Ohio Democracy is in line with
1 out a single break in its ranks in
-lsupport of that issue.

Frank Behrens has made and is

who his successor will be, he can
not meet the requirements OF the

has Frank Behrens.

THE FIRST WHITE HOUSE BATnTUB


In an article on "The Domestic
Side of the White House," in tn,
May Ladies' Home Journal, ex
President Harrison gives this in
Iteresting view of the home portion
of the Executive Mansion: "Pro'
perly speaking" he says, there are
five bedrooms in the Executive
Mansion, though by the use OF two
Idressing-rooms and Of the end Of 9
short hall that formerly opened to q
large north window but has now
been closed up to make a small
bedroom, the number may be in
creased to eight. There are no
suitable servants quarters. Those
provided are in the basement, anC
only those opening to the south are
habitable. The north rooms open
upon a damp brick area and are un.
healthy. One Of the basement
rooms, having a southern exposure,
lis fitted up as billiard-room, bu,
very plainly.
at is said that provision for a Ii
brary for the White House was first
made during Mr.. FilImore's term.
Neat cases are arranged about the
room, and most Of them are filed
with bookshelf editions Of histori-
cal and classical works. There is
no catalogue, and the library has
not been kept up.
president Adams introduced
billiards into the White House, pur-
chasing the first table, balls and
cues at cost of sixty-one dollars,
paying for them out Of his own
pocket. President Van Buren was
charged by a political adversary and
scathing critic, as being the first oi
our Presidents to discover that the
pleasures Of the warm or tepid bath
are the proper accompaniments oi
a palace life. For it appears tina,
our former presidents were content
with the application, when neces-
sary, Of the simple shower bath.
Mr.. Van Buren's critic then refers
with high approval to the salutary
side Of Mr.. Adams heroic habit O
bathing in the Potomac 'betweer
day break and sunrise. -"

The sleepers were Of stone and were
laid across the track eight feet apart.
Upon rails Of wood, six inches thick,
