THE NUT CROP is LIGHT.
There Are Fewer of All Kinds This
Fall. with the Exception
of Chestnuts.

Taken as whole, the nut crop of the
country this fall is rather light, said
a Fulton street nut dealer the other
day. There is not an actual shortage,
but in the case of most of the different
kinds of nuts smaller quantities than
the average are coming into market
The only notable exception to this is
in the case Of chestnuts They are
abundant and very good. Most of our
chestnuts now come from this state
and Pennsylvania. We used to get a
good many from the south, but, though
these were little larger, they did not
keep as well rs the northern nuts. The
cause of the fine chestnut crop this year
has been the great amount of damp
weather that we have had. The burrs
absorb the moisture and it develops
the nuts better than anything else
could.
Now, with hickory nuts it is just the
opposite way. The same reasons that
have made the chestnuts good this year
have hurt the hickory nuts, SO that the
crop of them is considerably smaller
than usual. They need dry weather
to grow well. We get them from New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
and from points in about the same lat
itude further west-Ohio, Indiana, ETC.
Pecan nuts, which grow all along the
Blue Ridge mountain range, from the
Catskills to Georgia, are of the same
family as hickory nuts, and consequent
ly have suffered also from the wet sum-
mer weather. Tho shipments Of them
will be comparatively light. Black
walnuts and butternuts are coming in
in just about average quantities-not
more than that, at any rate. The wal
nuts grow largely in northern New
York and in New England. Nearly all
the butternuts get come from YER
mont. You notice that, though the two
are aleu-. 1e... The The same kind Ct nut, the
are sent to market without the !
outside husk on, while the butternuts |
are shipped just as they are picked
from the tree. This is because the |
butternuts dry out quickly and become |
poor if the outer covering is removed, |
while the walnuts do not seem to be |
Affected that way, OF fcourse, it is more
to ship nuts in as small and |
compact form as possible. Peanuts
ire good this fall. We have been get
ing large quantities from Virginia,
where most Of them are raised. /
That accounts for the most impor-
ant kinds of what are usually regard
d as the domestic nuts, though really

PRECAUTIONS ON THE MAINE.
Capt. sigsbee Says That Every Care
Was Taken for the Protection
OF the Vessel mt Havana

Every precaution that could be taken
against injury or treachery was taken
on board the Maine, so far as could be
permitted under The restrictions of my
orders requiring me to make friendly
visit. If one, when dining with friend
at his home, were to test the dishes for
poison, he would not be making a
friendly visit. The harbor could not
be dragged without giving offense; it
could not be patrolled by our own pick
et-boats at night, nor could the search
lights be kept going; but every inter
raj precaution was exercised that the
situation suggested. There were sem
tries on the forecastle and poop, quar-
termaster and signal boy on the bridge,
and second signal-boy on the poop,
all of whom were charged with the ne
cessity of careful lookout. The cor
poral of the guard was specially in
structed as to the port gangway. and
the officer of the deck and the quarter
master as to The starboard gangway
Instead of the usual anchor-watch, a
quarter-watch was kept on deck at
night. The sentries were supplied with
ammunition; number of rounds of
rapid-fire ammunition were kept in the
pilot-house and in the spare captains
pantry inside the after-superstructure.
An additional supply OF shells was kept
at hand for the six-inch guns. In order
TO be prepared more completely to work
the hydraulic mechanism of the turrets,
steam was kept up on two boilers in
stead of one; special instructions were
given to watch all the details of the
hydraulic gear and to report defects.
The officer of the deck was charged by
me to make detailed reports, even in
minor matters, acting on the suspicion
that we might be in an unfriendly har-
Dor. personally instructed the mas
ter-at-arms and the orderly sergeant to
keep careful eye on every visitor that
came on board, and to charge their own
subordinates to the same purpose. |
instructed them to follow visitors about
at proper distance whenever the ship
was visited below; they were carefully
to watch for any packages that might
be laid down or left by visitors, on the
supposition that dynamite or other
high explosives might be used. They
were also required to inspect the routes
over which visitors had passed The
officer in charge of the marine guard |
was required to make at least two visits |
during the night to the various posts of |
the vessel. The purport of my own or
ders and instructions was that we
should consider the Maine in position
demanding extreme vigilance, and re-
duiring a well-sustained routine both |
BY day and by night.-Capt. Charles d.
Sigsbee, in Century.

Washington Scientists Propose TO Send .
Company Of Explorers.
Plans for the usual summer expedi.
tions of scientists of the National muse
um and Smithsonian institution are be-
ing perfected. If one of these is carried
out, it will be most extensive and in
all likelihood most fruitful one, ex.
ceeding in results any which have been
sent out from either of these two great
warehouses;. IL is no less than to COM
bine number of scientists of the muse
nm and institution in one company,
with man Of the highest attainments
in scientific lines at the head, and send
the party to Manila with the troops,
If any shall 60 in the future. The idea
has been broached and has met with ap-
proval from those competent to Judge OF
such schemes and their outcome. It has
been pointed out, il was stated to q re-
porter, that, as the islands will most
likely remain under the rule OF the
United States, the collection Of objects
to be secured there will be of the great
est possible interest to the people in this
country.
"The island Of Luzon especially is
place where collections Of the greatest
value may be secured" said scientist
at tho museum to the reporter recently.
"All Of the Philippines are spots which
can supply much which would be most
attractive for our purposes and the pub
lic in general. Think by the scientists
cooperating with tho troops, as it were.
the best results would bo undoubtedly
attained. The natives are amicably dis
posed toward rs. and would, ] am ccr-
tain, render valuable assistance. BY
sending an expedition at the present
time much of tho cost necessary to one,
IL It would go under any other circum-
stances, would be done away with.
Even il the United States should not
hold the islands the collections would
greatly enrich ms"
A man from every branch would
probably be included in the expedition,
including an ethnologist, botanist, a
geologist and so ON, so that all the
ground could be fully covered.-Wash-
