necessary, but it is wrong to suddenly
begin to economic by cutting the work
men. This sewer work is about as I'M
desirable as any you can find on the
beach. Mr.. Ryan's final decision was
to give our men here in the county 1.50
per day, but Mr.. Rachor ignores Mr..
Ryan, who is n of the Street COM
mitteemen, and listens only to the
Mayor. A clause in the agreement be-
tween Mr.. Rachor and the borough is
interesting just at this time and reads
as follows:
"The said Rachor is to have charge
of hiring and discharging men and to
have supervision over them and be re-
sponsible for keeping their time; also
of the ordering of such material neces-
sary for the completion of said work
subject to the direction and approval OF
the Street committee, under whose jul
risdiction said work is to be carried on.'
Thus it is seen that MI. Rachor is
deliberately violating his contract in
refusing to do as Mr.. Ryan says in the
matter of wages. The Mayor exerts a
magical influence over Mr.. Rachor and
he becomes completely intoxicated with
his logic, refusing to listed to Mr.. Ryan.
If the workmen under the Superinten-
dent do not come up to the standard
are repeatedly late to work or unfit for
work, let him frankly tell them SO and
discharge them if they do not do better,
but don't cut the prices below a decent
sum-. The Superintendent is employed
by the borough to see that the work is
properly done and to see that the work
men do a days work. He should de

Professor Mommsen's complacent
prophecy that the British empire will
soon disintegrate, and that in the
process France will get Egypt, Russia
will take India, and Germany will ap-
propriate South Africa, is redolent of
the perfume of the cloister. He
seems to forget that across the north
ern frontier of India nature has
stretched almost impregnable fortiti-
cations in the steep mountain range
that guards the border; that Egypt
will be quite as difficult to take and
keep today as when Napoleon tried
the experiment, and that Germany in
South Africa is helpless against Brit
ish sea power,

A pathetic commentary on the es-
TEEN in which the world holds
the memory of Prince Bismarck
is to be seen in the fact that
hardly word in the vast food of mes
sages of coincidence that flowed upon
Friedrichsruhe spoke of human pity
or human love for the dead, observes
the Christian Register. It seemed
that even Germany had ceased to re-
member that Otto Won Bismarck was
at any time man, but regarded him
rs fallen political colossus whose i'm
passive brow had reached far above
the lightning and the clouds; sort of
modern Zeus, at whose imperious nod
united Germany had arisen ont of
chaos; divinity whom human maligni-
ty might and did reach, but who was
beyond the love of man. Germany laid
her legendary hero into the grave
with vaunting upon her lips, but the
scalding tears that were shed by the
world when Gladstone was committed
20 earth were wanting at the cold and
formal obsequies of Prince Bismarck.

st. Petersburg dispatches indicate
that Russia may again require Ameri-
can wheat and corn to exc out her
needs. In many provinces, contrary
to expectations, the crops have proved
a total failure, aud famine is impend-
ing. This will tend to arrest decline
of prices for wheat and other cereals
consequent upon the heavy crops in
the United States, for the Russian
government is already taking steps to
purchase large quantities of these sta
pies abroad American farmers
should not forget that it is chance and
not their own foresight in this in
stance that will have enabled them to
realize fair prices for their products.

The only significance in the small
increase in railway mileage in the
United States last year is that pretty
nearly every available section of the
country is now fully accessible by
railroad. The railway mileage will of
course continue to increase in the fu-
ture, but not at such rate as in the
past. With improvements that have
been made in engine power and car
rying capacity of cars, moreover, the
present lines are able to accommo-
date mora traffic. This means that
fewer railroad lines are likely to go
into the hands of receivers hereafter
and at the same time that demands of
traffic will be met.

The prune industry in California
has had remarkable growth in the
last decade. In 1883 there were about
IL, 900 acres of bearing prune trees,
and about 5000 acres more of young
orchards. Between 1890 and 1894
about 40, 900 acres of prune orchards
were planted. Since then the growth
has proceeded in lesser degree, but
the total bearing area is now estimat-
ed at So, 900 acres, with 10000 more
to come into bearing within the next
year or two. The investment in
lands, trees, irrigation systems, agri-
cultural tools, and packing houses is
estimated at $25, 900, 900. This years
production of green fruit will amo6nt
10 about 81, 900 tons, and growers an
licipate crop of 100, 900 tons within
few years. Of this years yield,
about one-fifth will he shipped east as
green fruit; the remainder will be
dried, making, with the water evapo-
rated, about "a, 900 tons.

A writer in the Scientific American
eems to have taken careful note of
bhe lifeboats on ocean steamers. He
says: "Any one who has travelled to
and fro few times can but notice the
paucity of lifeboats and the fact that
lhe davit room is not all utilized. The
examination of fifteen photographs,
representing as many liners, showed an
average of seven boats on each side;
one ship only showing an interrupted
fne of ten large boats on each side.
What does this average of fourteen
boats to the ship represent? The fact
that only those on the lee side can be
used in rough weather reduces the
total to seven; two must be consid-
cred as sacrificed, smashed or cap
sized during launching. Five are left,
with capacity of about 140 persons
less than the ships crew. Life
boats? If they are lifeboats, why do
they fill and sink with such rapidity?
What use are RATS and life preserv-
,rs in such calamities as that of the
Elbe and the Bourgogne?" These are
alarming statements, and they are ev-
identity made by somebody with
knowledge of his topic

An interesting example of how ma
ture accommodates herself to circum-
stances, is related by resident of
the arid section in the western part of
Texas. 1t was in connection with an
experiment in coaxing plum trees tc
grow. In a portion of this arid re.
gion near Alpine, stream of water
runs from thirty to forty feet below
the surface, too far for the roots of
trees to reach it, and the country,
therefore, was treeless. But an emf
grant from Ohio thought out way to
force tree to bore for water. He
selected hardy plum, cut off the
small roots, leaving only the tap
root, and planted it deep. He fed the
root with water daily, through a hole
in the ground, and by cutting off the
sprouts as they appeared, he concen-
trated the growth Of the tree on the
tap-root. He proved his theory. In
time that tap-root reached the under
ground water supply, and no further
care of the tree was necessary. Other
trees were treated in like manner, and
the result is thrifty orchard in a re-
gion where rain seldom falls. An.
other unique development is that
trees grown from the seed of the Ohio
mans stock need no education. They
bore for water as soon as they are SET
out, and there is little or no growth
above ground until the wstsr i
reached.

Here are some of the conclusions
that English experts have arrived at
concerning the naval features of the
war: Fast battleships are everything;
have big batteries aboard; teach the
men to shoot well; as for personnel,
the Anglo-Saxon can beat anything
that floats. These specifications
cover the ground pretty well. though
it might be we'll to mention the i'm
portance of personal heroism, says the

A sultan,s Adventure.

A misadventare has happened to the

possessions. He is Mohammedan,
and recently made the pilgrimage to
Mecca, taking his crown with him.
On his return. while stopping at q
Singapore hotel thief broke into his
room. The sultan awoke and grap-

broke away and escaped, taking with
him two boxes that contained Sulu's
crown and other jewels to the value
of $14, 900 and some important state
papers
