that is unavoidable when they are

1t is hard to tell what news the

63 Senators have pledged themselves
to vote for the ratification OF the

the scheme has been accomplished

Ii the annexation question had been

matter brought to an issue. The

the benefit of the empty chairs of

beg pardon, made up their minds, to
vote in favor OF the treaty. If, how.
ever, as we believe, Mr.. Thurston is
mistaken in his calculations or has
succeeded in hoodooing his cause,
the prospects are, that the treaty
will be killed at once in the executive

opposite a corresponding opening in

must pass out singly, the cage being
reyolved just far enough, as each

trance cage, and they must enter in
similar fashion. When the last pris-

would amount to many millions Of dol
lars every season. Why has the en-
terprise never been attempted? Be-
cause the cost of the plant required
renders it impossible for any ordinary
individual or aggregation of individu-
ais to undertake it. You must have,
in the first place, a fleet of six or eight
freight steamers which will make the
trip to New York inside of three days
(the distance is a little over 1000
miles,. Then you must have wharves
and warehouses in the principal cities
to receive the cargoes and men to ham
die them promptly and skillfully, and
shops in the cities where the best Of
produce can be sold directly to private
buyers. Meanwhile, in Jamaica, there
must be a large and trained force OF
%cultivators and overseers. with farm
tools and buildings of all kinds, and an
abundance of facilities for transport
ing the produce swiftly from the Gc.sS
to the ports. Altogether the prelimin-
airy and working expenses would be
very large, but the returns would be
SO large that in two average years the
outlay would have been repaid and a
clear annual gain of millions could be
depended on. l often discussed this
with the governor of Jamaica, Sir
Henry Blake, and he saw as much in
it as I did and proffered the good Of
fees OF the government in case a COM
pany were organized to work the in
dustry. Jamaica is, at present, the
best of the islands for the purpose sim
ply because it is under English gov-
eminent and you are assured of peace
and quiet. But when Cuba achieves
her independence and has quieted down
she will serve better than Jamaica, be-
cause she is so much larger and more
than 100 miles nearer us.

When Niagara VIII Run Dry.

DR.. G. X. Gilbert, of the Geological
Survey, says that a comparison of gage
records for a period of twenty years
shows that the land surrounding the
great lakes is being gradually tilted
from northeast to southwest at such
a rate that, of two points one hundred
miles apart, the northern rises five
inches with reference to the southern
in one hundred years. AT Chicago the
lake level rises about me inch in ten
years. DR.. Gilbert predicts that, u
this movement continues, in about
three thousand years all the upper
lakes will discharge into the Illinois
river, the Detroit and st. Clair rivers
will flow backward, carrying the water
of Lake Erie into Lake Huron, and he
Niagara river will run dry.

Abe Possibilities of Winter Vegetable
Growing.
When 1 lived in the island of Jafnai-
ca, a British possession, I was greatly
impressed with the commercial posi-
bilities of the winter vegetable growing
industry, says Golfers Weekly. Dur
ing those months when winter fruit
and vegetables are practically an i'm
possibility in the markets of our north
ern and semi-northern cities, they
flourish best in J~amaica-and, of course,
in the other islands of the archipelago
as well. Jamaica is about 140 miles
long and from twenty to fifty miles
wide; its surface is mountainous, with
many valleys and few plains of moder
ate extent. Oranges and coffee are
the chief products of the mountainous
parts, sugar and bananas of the lower
levels and valleys. Vegetables are
scarcely cultivated at all; the negro
population, numbering over 100000, IS
lazy and worthless, and can not be de-
pended upon as laborers; they grow a
few yams on their little clearings, ina
are then content to lie in the shade OF
their cocoas and mangoes and let the
year go by. The coffee industry IAN
guishes; there is hardly n sugar
making worth talking Of now going
on; there is not on the whole island a
single orange grove, recognizable as
such by an American c~ultivator; all
Jamaica oranges are practically wild,
and OF numerous varieties, some poor,
some OF the best in the world, but all
alike jumbled together for export; SO
that Jamaica oranges have a bad name.
There is an American company in con-
troll of the banana trade. and the ex-
port is as large as the consumption
warrants; but no vegetables are ex-
ported at all. The steady work on the
plantations is done by coolies brought
under contract from India, and re-
garded with disfavor by the negroes.
Now, If 10000 acres only were set
apart for the cultivation of vegetables
during the months from December to
April, and the produce placed for sale
in Il seaboard cities, the profits over
and above all expenses and accidents
would be so enormous that shall not
state them: the balance sheet has been
carefully worked out and revised; they

She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not

ton was alone at fault she procured the
proper medicine to treat hat trouble and

came back, the choking spells became less

which had been greatly reduced was re-

her cheeks rosy.

may be mistaken for real, organic heart
disease. The symptoms are much the same.
There is however a vast difference between
the two: organic heart disease is often in

A case in point is quoted from the NeiD
Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs. Ellen Col
som, Viewpoint, Ind, a woman forty three
years old, had suffered for four years with
distressing stomach trouble. The gases
generated by the indigestion pressed ON the
heart, and caused an ~irregularity of its ac-
ton. She had much pain in her stomach
and heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in

emit, and feared impending death.
