The Oldest PloW-Maker.

Chicago has the oldest plow-maker
in the United States. His name is
David Bradley, and he is at the head
of big manufacturing company on the
west side. Mr.. Bradley first worked
at the business in Syracuse, N. Y, in
1882. In 1886 he came to Chicago,
which then numbered about $500 in
habitants and camp Of several thou
sand Indians, to help erect the first
foundry established here. Mr..
Bradley was the first man to bring
pig-iron into Chicago. In connection
with the foundry which he helped
build was a machine-shop, and the
establishment soon began along with
its other business the manufacture Of
plows. Mr.. Bradley, by the growth
Of his business, was finally forced tc
build a little town Of his own, which
is known as Bradley, I'll. Mr.. Brad
ley has passed his eighty-ffth birth,
day, but is still hale and hearty, ane
thoroughly enjoys the prosperity which
hard work has brought him. The
active business has been surrendered
10 his sons.-Ohicago Tribune.

IRRIGATION in Africa.

When the River Nile is high enough,
at the time of its annual overflow,
dams in it's banks are cut, allowing the
water to flow in canals which carry it
into tho country. From the canals
bitches and cutters distribute it
among the farms, which are divided
into squares by ridges Of earth few
inches high. The peasant regulates
the flow of water with his feet. By a
skillful use of his toes he makes an
opening in ridge or closes it up, and
thus causes the water to 60 where it
is needed.
This was very ancient way Of irri'
eating the land, and Moses probably
refers to it when he contrasts the
rains and dews of Palestine with the
artificial watering of Egypt. "For
the land where thou goest in to pos
sess it is not as the land Of Egypt
from which ye came out, where thou
sowest thy seed and wateredst it with
thy foot, as a garden Of herbs; but the
land whittier ye go to possess it is q
land of hills and valleys, and drinketh
water Of the rain of heaven" Deut.
XII, 10-12.-Mission Band Lessons.

Camera Brought Back the Money.

O0AAOA" AAOAoAAo Des~H> ''AS ~'~OA'~S'
Professor Jules Amann, Of the Uni
versity of Lausanne, Switzerland, was
recently called upon to apply scientific
photography to rather novel purpose.
A Swiss peasant woman who had saved
BY hard labor and economy sum equiv
,lentto$110, having temporarily toleave
her cottage untenanted, placed her
money, in the form of bank bills, in a tin
box, which she hid away in the oven OF
her stove. During her absence, says the
Youths Companion, her son came
home and, not knowing what his moth
or had done, started fire in the stove.
When the poor woman returned the
bank bills had been reduced to black
cinders. She was advised to apply for
aid at tho laboratory Of the university,
and Professor Amann succeeded in
so photographing the carbonized bills
as to make their denominations, sig.
natures, etc., decipherable. Armed
with these photographs the woman re-
covered the value Of all the bills from
the banks which had issued them.

This Tree Sleeps.

Near the western border of Dupont
Circle, in Washington, D. c., stands
tree that goes to sleep promptly
every night at o'clock. The tree is
known as the AlbizZia Julibrissan.
having been christened so by an Ital::
ian botanist in honor Of the Albizz|
family in Florence. The tree, how
ever, is an original Of Japan, and is
known there as the Japanese silk tree,
probably on account of the silky ap.
pearance of its blossoms. Soon aftel
Z o'clock in the evening a general mo-
ton is noticed in the foliage, CULVER
or trembling Of the bipinnate leaves.
Each leaaet begins to stand up on
edge and pairs with the one opposite.
They clasp each other tightly and Their
close up with the other on the petiole,
so that each becomes coverlet over
half Of the preceding one. The en-
tire transformation takes place IL
about twenty minutes, and usually a
about 7.30 the respiratory organism Of
this tree hangs limp or droopy on the
branches.

An Italian Solomon.

The Duke of Ossone, while viceroy
of Naples, delivered many quaint and
clever judgments. The case is relat-
ed where a young Spanish exquisite
named Bertrand Solus, while lounetnc
around In the busy part of the city. was
run against by porter carrying a bun
die Of wood on his shoulder.
The porter had called out make
way, please" several times, but with
out effect. He had then tried to get by
without collision, but his bundle caught
in the young mans velvet dress and
tore it. solus was highly indignant,
and had the porter arrested. The vice
roy, who had privately investigated the
matter, told the porter to pretend he
was dumb and at the trial to reply by
signs to any question that might he
put to him.
when the case came on and Solus
had made his complaint, the yi,eroy
turned to the porter and asked him
what he had to say in reply. The Dor
ter only shook his head and made SIGNS
with his hands.
"What Judgment do you want me to
give against dumb man?' asked the
viceroy.
"Oh, your excellency," replied Solus,
falling into the trap, "the man is an i'm

Peaches Without Down.

back of Mr.. Winters home grows ,
peach tree that has produced annua,'
crops Of luscious fruit for number Of
years. Two years ago Mr.. White,
grew tired of the conventional cover

chard, and determined at least to pro,
duce a peach minus that Objectionable
nap or down.
He began series Of experiments,
and that year produced a peach clothed
in the ordinary raiment of the banana|
but, not satisfied with the result Of
his startling assault on nature, he ha.
succeeded in producing crop that
looks for all the world like tree Of
apples. The skin of the fruit is per.

The method employedby Mr.. Winter
to produce these startling results is a
profound secret, and he is preparing
to copyright the scheme. Grapevines,
as we'll as peach trees, tremble before
the skill of the ex-carpenter, and
among the curious things that thrive in
the rear of Mr.. Winters yard is vine
of this sort that bears at this time ripe
grapes, as sweet as honey, and un'

Painting by Machinery.

The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis Railway is now using in its
shops q pneumatic car-paintiqg ma
chine. With the new device freight
car can be painted in one hour, while
BY the old method it takes an expert
enced man from two to three hours.
Besides saving material and labor,
another great advantage the pneumatic
painter has over the man with brush
and can Of paint is that it applies the
paint to the car with uniform thick
ness and with great force. The paint
is driven into the smallest crevice or
hole in the car, and this enables the
painter to reach points under the car
roof where the man with brush
would be able to make little Roadway
The new method promises to take the
place of hand painting entirely.

"A Magnetic Drill.

The use Of magnets for lifting puri
poses and as substitute for clamps 10
rapidly extending, and to see the ease
and facility with which five-ton cast.
ing can be picked up and carried
around the shop IS very striking. With
the old process holes lave to be bored
in masses Of metal In all sorts Of odd
and inconyenient places and ut angles
so that very often it is necessary to RIG
clamps for holding the drilling machine
to its work. The application Of the
portable electric motor for this purpose
was long step in advance, and this
method has been of great service in
dealing with the ar1nor of the new
cruisers. When portable drill, how.
ever, is coupled with a magnetic clamp.
ing device the ideal conditions are real,
ICED. DR.. Louis Bell recently described
a drill OF this pattern. 1t consists of 9
motor and its worm-drlven drill, to-
gether with universal mounting Of
four adjustable feet. When placed fair.
~ upon ships plate or other mass OF
Iron these drills have an adhesive force
of nearly half ton each. The drill
can then be adjusted and clamped by
the simple turning Of q key, and it will
then bore holes up to an inch In diam.
eter as fast as it can be safely worked.
The whole affair weighs only about 200
pounds. These portable drills in small
sizes, particularly when the clamping
Is magnetic, are Invaluable In general

Vibration on Railways and Its Effect Of

Annoyance and temporary discom.

is equivalent to nightmare in adults,
One lady Of somewhat delicateorganiza'

found herself standing uprigh: in the

on this train had sweetheart liv

managed SO that the locomotive made

inamorata. This was the only train
that so affected the sufferer, and she
was obliged to leave the neighbour
hood on account of it. In ordinary
railway travel speed is the most i'm
portant item to be looked after, and
the noise attending the great rapidly
with which the train moves is really
a secondary consideration. Medica
scientists who are giving attention te
this subject are beginning to demand
for their patients, especially those who
find it necessary to take long jour
neys for their health, accommodation,
in which due regard is had for quie

Ginseng Culture.

The secret Of raising ginseng hos
been discovered at last. It is being
grown on Missouri soil and cultivated
by Missouri farmer. China has an
unlimited demand for the ginseng
root, and, because of it's scarcity, pays
the handsome price Of $3.50 for sim
gle pound of it. Heretofore the mar
ket has been supplied from certain
sections where the herb grows wild.
Repeated attempts to cultivate it have
proved failure. But, according to
Waldo Parks, guest at the Laclede
Hotel, Spencer Brown, farmer down
in Texas County, is cultivating an acre
of ginseng. It natures in six years.
From the product Of that acre he ex-
poets to realize the modest sum Of
$40, 900. He will limit the product so
as to keep the price up.
Mr.. Brown says that the ginseng
Aourishes in rich limestone soil,
shaded from the sun. It requires
eighteen months to terminate and six
years for full growth. He is making
no secret of the discovery, but explains
it's mysteries to any one.
By the Chinese ginseng is consid-
cred medicinal ingredientof wonder

it which is supposed to cure all dis
eases. They have never been able to
find the secret of it's culture, and have
depended upon the wild roots found
here and there for their supply;-St.

BULLETS OF PURE GOLD,
AN OLD WHALER'S EXTRAORDINARY
STORY OF ALASKAN RICHES.

captain John Reynolds, of Omaha, Gives
an Account of Native Who Used
eold Bullets for His HiEe-A Very
High Ledge Full of tho Precious Metal.
Captain John Reynolds, of Florence.
a suburb Of Omaha, Neb., has con.
trlbuted story of Alaska riches that
IS more extraordinary than are the
startling reports from the Klondike.
Inc captain, writes correspondent of
the Chicago Record, is Nebraska
character of much fame. He is an old
whaler who has sailed all over the
globe and IN his wanderings made two
expeditions through Bering Straits in
to the Arctic Ocean. On the first of
these he met with an adventure which
is replete with romance and which
reads like tale from Mexico or Peru
IN their balmy barbarian days of gold
and silver.
I'm August, 1872" he said, eve
sailed from New Bedford on a long
voyage. Our vessel was the first
to pass through Boring Straits into the
Arctic Ocean. We went first to the
Azores, then to Tenerife, the Cape
Verde Islands, Falkland Islands,
through the Straits of Magellan to Ju-
al Fernandez and the Sandwich ISL
ands, and thence up into Bering Sea,
During the whaling season as
many as thirty men deserted the ships
for the gold fields of Alaska at the
Yukon. Our ship was beset with ice
at Cape Prince of Wales and while we
were there an old native came aboard,
We were breaking up some boxes that
day and he asked us for the leaden
labels which were on them. We asked
why he wanted them, and lie showed
US an old-fashioned Russian gun which
he treasured very highly and said he
wanted the lead to make bullets for
it. In our idle curiosity, having little
to do while lying there, we questioned
him as to where he usually got his
bullets for it, and he told us there
was place 'one sleep lone days
Journey away where he found the
material for bullets. We were anx-
lous to make little trip out into the
interior and one day started off with
him as our guide.
eve travelled about forty miles up
the country through valley easy to
traverse, and at length reached a ledge
at which the native stopped and began
picking up pieces Of gold. The ledge
was full of it and crumbling away.
Here was the old fellows bullet field.
He was shooting gold bullets from
his old Rnse;"nsus'. Tie party OF us
carried away thirty-nine pounds Of
the ore and when we had it assayed
In San Francisco, it turned out $500 a
ton.
Captain J. N. Knowles, wealthy
resident of San Francisco, fitted out
ship and sent it back in charge of
one Of my crew, a Swede, to investi-
gate. AS near as we could learn he
.oaded his schooner with sixty or
seventy tons of the ore and started
back. That was the last heard of him,
md it is supposed that his ship went
down in a heavy gale. Since then no
one has visited that place and yet it is
IS rich as any mine discovered III
Alaska, and far easier to reach than
Is the Klondike. The ledge was 800
'eet high and was crumbling away
when we were there. It is only forty
miles from the coast and there are no
difficulties whatever in reaching the
place."
