feet square. There were used in building
this pile four hundred and fifty fagots
twelve poplar trees. two tons of coal, five
cords Of wood, four loads of hoop poles,
two loads of furze, two barrels of tar.
twelve empty tar barrels and barrel of
naphtha. This mass of infiammable mate
rial was piled on a hilltop 1000 feet high,
and it ought to have been a brilliant sue
cess. Eut it seems to have been considered
something of a failure. In such heap of
material stacked closely together there
would have been a large compact mass in
the center practically shut in from the
reach of the surrounding air. Unless par
tfcUlar care were taken in the building of
the pile, the air, rushing in upon the blaze
from all points of the compass. would be
caught by the external fame and be di-
verified upward, leaving the whole central
mass practically untouched by It, or nearly
so. The surface of the pile would thus be
afiare, while the heart of it was merely
dead and smoldering mass, contributing
little but smoke, and merely prolonging the
process of burning without in any way con-
tributing to the splendor of effect. 1t was

hills, which was, perhaps, the most anIbi-
ttous experiment of the kind that had been
made up to that date, that the use of the
two tons of coal proved a mistake. but that
probably was only because the laying of
the fire was badly managed
The thing to be looked to as essential to
success is free play of air right into the
heart OF the stack. Everybody knows that
If CRATE gets clogged with ashes SO as to
prevent the passage of air up into the fire
from beneath. the fire burns dead and dull.
The same thing occurs if a large mass of
combustible material Is stacked fiat upon
the ground. Care should be taken to leave
abundant air passage into the center, and,
indeed, free access to the whole base of the
pile is best if it can be managed. few
strong iron hurdles laid on big stones or
stuck up in the ground for the combustibie
material to rest upon, so as to admit the
air right underneath the whole blaze will
add immensely to its brilliancy and
strength.

Won't Pay to Hear Him.

Cincinnati special: William ]. Bryan
stopped here an hour to-day on his
way from his lecture at Atlanta. While
saying that his lecture was success, il
is understood that he does not look
with favor on his lecture engagement
and may ask to be relieved. He re-
marked to close friend that he had
made mistake in undertaking to de-
liver a series of non-partisan lectures.
A dispatch from Atlanta says: 1t is
probable that Bryan's lecture tour will
be abandoned. He delivered the first
of a series of fifty lectures, for which
he was to receive $50, 900, here Wednes-
day night. While the Grand opera
house was filled to the doors, and the
audience numbered 400 people, the
receipts are said to have been only
1854. Deducting the $1,000 paid to
Mr.. Bryan and the expenses paid for
hire of the theater, printing, lighting,
etc., the margin of profit left to Mr..
Bryan's manager would not be suffi-
cient to encourage him to continue the
series.
v. E. McBee announces that he has
transferred to an Eastern syndicate or
club his interest in the Bryan lecture
contract. He says that some time ago
he received an offer which meant a
handsome premium on his contract,
but he would do nothing without Mr..
Bryan's full Endorsement. This he re-
ceived, and the transfer is announced.
It is generally believed, however, that
either the Seaboard Air line people did
not like their general superintendent
figuring in outside schemes, or that
this is an advance indication that the
lecture course is to be abandoned.
Bryan's friends say he is not enthusi-
astic over the lecture idea and would
like to get out of it. II Mr. Bryan's
tour is abandoned, it will not be the
first instance of a political celebrity
failing to turn his prominence to finan-
cial account. A few months ago Sena-
tor Hill entered upon an extended
course of lectures. 1t came to an end
after four appearances. The receipts
were not sufficient to pay the lecturer
and compensate his managers for the
outlay and risk.

In Hancock county, Maine, there's a
man who earns a lot Of spare cash by
the culture of worms-plain, everyday
angle-worms. He has plot of land
fixed up for the purpose. and he plants
the crop and waters it and looks after
it as one would potatoes or parsnips.

the sugar markets Of the world. To
complete the destruction Of the Ameri-
can sugar industry, or at least to pre-
vent the further development of the
beet sugar business in this country.
Germany has recently increased its ex-
port bounties. And France is about to
follow suit. This enables their sugar
to be sold in the United States below
the cost Of production in this country.
What is needed is a reasonable specific
duty on all imported sugar, with an adj
ditiOnal discrimination duty from coun-
tries having an export bounty, equal to
that bounty. Then. with such aid as
the various states and localities inter-
ested may offer to secure sugar facto-
ries. the beet sugar industry could be
put on its feet in this country within a
few years. Mr.. Myrick added that, dur
ing the past sixty days farmers Or
carnations have been founded in sew
eral hundre counties to advance their
interests in raising sugar beets, in Sc
curing factories to work up the crop
to obtain needed legislation to devel-
op the industry. and to protect it
against the trust. 1t is now proposed
to unite these and hundreds of new
organizations in q national sugar-bee
growers society.

always quiet one in trade circles. The
financial world is preparing for the
payment of dividends and interest on
Jan. 1, and naturally no new finan-
cial enterprises are begun. But the
Christmas trade. taking the country
over, was good-even better than was
expected. While the tendency was to-
ward the buying Of less costly grades
Of goods, the volume of the holiday
traffic was so large as to be surprise,
for business men have grown pessi-
mistic in the three years since the pam
ic of 1893, and were not disposed to ex-
pect anything satisfactory.
The bank troubles in Chicago, pre-
cipitated by the failure of the National
Bank of Illinois, did not have any Sc
riOus results. This was because the
failure was not the result of general
conditions, which are recognized as
sound, but because OF individual mis-
management of the worst sort. The
stability of the general run Of the
banks of the country is shown by the
fact that the failure produced no i'll eff
fects save to institutions which were
with the ill-starred bank.
The real abundance of funds is
shown in New York by the
ease of the money market. While pre-
parations are going actively forward
for the January payment of interest
and dividends, the interest rate shows
but little appreciation. In New York
time money was literally offered last
week, and the demand was not eager,
as borrowers appear to have made
their contracts freely earlier in the
