Dcmnnd for war.

London, March Is. POPULAR oPfN-
ION IN GREECE, says the Times reporter
at Athens, IMPgRATlVELY DEMANDS
AN EARLY DECLARATION or WAR
WITH TURKEY. The idea Is that Eu'
rope would then be compelled to adopt a
neutral attitude II is argued that the
Greek fleet could conquer the Islands in
the Aegean sea, including samos. while
the Creek army. assisted by insurgent
bands, could rapidly overrun Macedonia.
1t is suggested that as the conditions in
Crete do not give sufficient prctcxt for a
declaration Of war, a more valid excuse
can be found in the refusal OF Turkey to
concede TO Gre ce the territory assigned
to her at the Berlin conference

RECEIVER LEG, SHOWING BUCKETS.
quite a problem to the uninitia ted but
simple enough to those whose lives are
an endless routine of grain, grain.
Twentyfour loaded ears are run into
the building on the two tracks, each one
being centered over large, barred graf
ing occupying both the center and one
side of the rails 4hese holes lead to what
is again known as receiver leg, that
is, an upright wooden chute some 212
feet in width, reaching from this floor
to almost the very top of the building,
containing an endless travelling belt car
rying sheet-iron buckets eight inches
apart, and emptying their contents
above into a weighing bin on the top
floor.
The modern, large freight ear will
hold / 900 to 1900 bushels of wheat, and
it can be unloaded from the elevator
floor by expert handling and with the
mechanical contrivances in vogue in
about five minutes after the door is
opened. The opening of the door first Is
stipulated, as the average wayside
farmer. in spite of the sign Don't
nail this door," and the patent locking
devices, will persist in driving every
thing from railroad spikes to shingle
nails in the edges of the door to insure
the safety of his precious grain, most
laIlentable proceeding, as it wears out
the car, and the worse than thread
bare explosives of the grain handlers.
This lightning-change act of unload
ing a full car N a few minutes is ac-
complished by the use of automatically
driven shovels in the hands of two men.
These shovels look much like sheet-iron
lined snow shovels, minus the long
handles. and are attached by long rope
and small chains to a clutch on a re-
volEing shaft. The men handling them
alternately recede to the extreme cor
ners of the car, bury the shoyels deep
in the grain, and then twitch the rope
with the free hand, which throws the
clutch automatically in the gear. winds
up the rope, and pulls the shovels for
ward to the door, where they are auto
matically released again. This recip-
rocal shovehBg by first one and then the
other is done with exceeding rapidity.
and the grain pOurs from the open door
in an almost constant stream. finding
its way through the hoppers beneath
and up the great legs into the weighing
bins or receivers, as they are called.
which each hold 500 bushels.
The scale floor, next TO the highest
point in an elevator-only the driving
machinery being abo,e--is where a.f
lhe grain is weighed, both whea re.

HE GREAT E & o ELEVATORS BALTIMORE.

-bedecked superstructure all the
machinery, weighing bins and scales,
and the multiplicity of criss-cross,
transverse chutes are found. In this
particular elevator there are 2j4 Stor-
age bins alone, each one being some IL
feet square and 30 feet deep, with ca
pacity of about $500 bushels. As il is
necessary that this enormous weight of
grain should be supported above the
tops of the railroad cars which run un-
der the entire length of the granaries
on two separate lines of track, the tim
bering and snoring and studding are of
magnificent proportions. To Withstand
tie frightful lateral strain OF the grain
each bin is built of heavy pine plank
ing, two inches thick and eight inches
wide, spiked together on its greater
width. Outside of the storage bins, run
ming along the entire length of both
sides of the building and connected with
outside chutcs for steamer lading, are
the shipping bins" more than 20 in
humber. Each of these contains over
2 500 bushels At the end of the build
ing. which has been erected upon Won
dtrful foundation of piles, far out in the
water, is to be found what is known as
the steamer leg" an immense two
legged pendulum device which sticks its
nose into the very bottom of a steamers
hold and gathers up the grain in end
less travelling buckets to be stored in
the bins far above.

HOW GRAIN is HANDLED.
The Seeming Mysteries of the OPP
Grafton Fully Explained
vaIuab.e Account of visit to the
Great sea-Bonrd Export EIeVa-
tory Of the baltimore ~
Ohio Railroad.
Ispeelal Baltimore go !

Spectators do not control the price
of wheat except within very narrow
limits. This is an interesting discovery
l have made during the past week, after
several visits to the Pandemoniacal ex-
change, and after climbing through the
number of mighty export grain eleva-
tors n the city Of Baltimore-a city,
b. the way, which certainly holds the
palm to-day IS being the greatest grain
export center in the western hemis-
phere.
One million eight hundred thousand
bushels of wheat and corn are being
handled in Baltimore's largest elevator
about every four days. and during the
months of July and August this as
tcundingly high-pressure condition Of
alters has been practically constant.
BY the courtesy OF the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad .aEs pany | have been
privileged. during the past week, to I'M
ravel the seeming mysteries, CONNER
cial and mechanical, of how grain is
handled in these largest of large sea
board export elevators located at their
great marine freight terminal, Locust
Point.
The outside dimensions Of the larger
of the Locust Point elevators, which
may be considered as among the finest
ever built, are 407 feet long, 81 feet
wide ard 40 feet high (the height from
the car floor on the pier to the top OF
the machinery loft above). Everyone
is familiar with the peculiar offset con
struction of an elevator which makes
it look like Il huge barn with a little
barn rising from it's roof. In the solid,
WindDwless structure beneath the grain
is stored, while in the attenuated, win
