DISCOVERY AND INVENTION.

An iron mill company in Ohio has
succeeded in making a fine quality OF
cement from furnace Stag.
By means of a toughening process,
recently discovered, glass may now be
nodded into lengths and used as rail-
way sleepers.
A German inventor has patented a
clock for attachment to telephone in
struments, which has levers to be set
for the number of minutes converse
ton desired, the connection with the
other instrument being broken when
the time expires.
For heating water where no tank is
connected with the stove a new tank
is designed to replace the first section
of stovepipe, and is formed of a double
section of sheetiron, with a compart
ment for the water and inlet and out
let pipes.
An English inventor has patented a
lifesaving vest to be worn on sea voy-
ages, which is shaped like an ordinary
rest and may be worn as such, infiat-
able pockets being provided, which are
filed with air through a m%outhpiece
carried in the pocket and attached to
a tube connected with the interior OF
the vest.

VIII the Time Erer Conner

A pertinent question is asked in the
New York Evening Post: will there
ever come a time when, instead of
Boosting of the miles of asphalt pave
ments in our cities, we can describe
the excellence of the country roads?
When, instead of talking of the col
leges and high schools in the towns,
we can be proud of the education given
to farmers sons and daughters in the
country schools? A time when farm
life will cease to imply loneliness,
drudgery and intellectual stagnation,
and when to live in the country that
God has made will be thought better
than to live in the towns that man
has built? ?"

FREAKS OF THE WEATHER.
Eccentricities and Irregularities
Most Frequent In the Tenn
perate Zones.

Our sO-called temperate ATTITUDES
doubtless afford US more interest
through their excessive caprices than
would ATTITUDES either tropical or polar.
But often their irregularities are so
marked that the memories of the old
est inhabitants of this or that town
are taxed to little or no purpose in
order to parallel the cold, or the heat,
or the force of the wind, or the rain
fall. And if we take a group of years
and examine their extraordinarily dt-
vergent types of character we may be
tempted TO look upon Il temperate"
climates rather in the light of fell
incensed points 'twixt mighty oppo-
sites" ana the British isles perhaps as
the center of intensest quarrel. For
here, within brief memory, one has
known the Holsters and crabs killed
in the sea by cold; one has experienced
%droUghts hal have cost millions of
money, and one has known an ATTAIN
tic gale to burn up with a crust of
salt the hOrse-chestnut leaves over the
entire island.
Nowhere in Europe are the chances
SO great against the weather prophet;
nowhere is SO much speculation about
the weather. Judging vaguely from
the past, maybe we have ground for
expecting that about three times in
a century the Thames will be frozen
over at London bridge, but that con-
summation is synonymous with an in
tense degree of continuous frost which
will not be confined to Britain, for of
late years it has become patent hat
these areas of extreme temperature
are very extensive, and that when
theSe is an excessively cold winter in
England and France, even Italy is often
included. | can recGllect in the winter
of 1851 seeing the ArnO at Florence
being skated upon, and icicles like a
prodigious p%ortcullis hanging from the
Ponte Necchio, some of which were
seven and eight feet in length. l have
known Cannae and POmpei smothered
in snow, and the entire lemon crop of
Amalf and Palermo destroyed by frost.
Nevertheless, l have never experienced
anything approaching to the following,

CUBAN CUISINE.
Pepper and Oil Play IN Important
Part in All Spanish
Dishes.

The commercial exodus to Cuba is
apt to result iii familiarizing Ameri-
cans with bona fide Spanish cooking,
something seldom seen in this coun-
try. Oil and pepper are the two things
that especially characterize the Cas-
titan cuisine. One of the %favorite
dishes in Cuba is "~tasajo,' which is
simply dried meat, cooked with tOma-
toes. red peppers and onions. "Tripa
a IL Andaluza" is another preparation
frequently seen. As the name indi-
Gates. the basis is boiled tripc, which
is cooked with Beans and potatoes, and
always served with the small red
Spanish sausage known as "butafarra
Catalina" \ similar sausage, only
black, is known as "butafarra AS
toriana." Chile con c~arne," which
everybody eats, is nothing more than
n thick stew of beef ~(carne) and beans
seasoned with chiles. Spanish tor
tillas" are corn cakes favored with
red peppers, and differ from the Mex
lean t~ortilla in that the latter, when
properly made, T rolled. in chopped
vegetables. \ salad, n la Espanola, is
prepared of lettuce and celery, with
a few sliced tomatoes and peppers.
Served with French dressing it is very
good. The Spanish soups are as a rule
a little too heavy for the American
taste, which runs more toward the
consomme. They are thick dococtions,
full of vegetables, and look frightfully
greasy. Soup, however. does not have
the important role among the Span
iards that it plays in French domestic
economy, and is an article of Sec
ondary Importance. The dishes
named are pretty apt to appear r
long on home menus, and it is inter-
esting to know in advance what they
are composed of.--New Orleans Times

Inc behavior of Rough Riders.

The prophets of evil of the Tampa
Bay hotel had foretold that the cow
boys would shoot as they chose, and,
in the field, would act independently
of their officers. AS it turned out the
cowboys were the very men who wait
ed most patiently for the officers to
give the word of command. At all
times the movement was without rest,
breathless and fierce, like a cane rush
or a street fight. After the first three
minutes every man had stripped as
though for a wrestling match, throw
ing off all his impedmenta but his car
fridge belt and canteen. Even then

shade of the jungle, while they had to
fight in the open for every thicket they
gained, crawling through grass which
was as hot as a steam bath, and with
their flesh and clothing torn by thorns
and the s%word-like blade of the Span
ish bayonet. The glare of the sun was
full in their eyes and as fierce as a
limelight.-Richard Harding Davis, in

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Aug 27-Wet weather In Eng
land and reports of the failure of the wheat
crop in one of the grain producing provinces
of Russia were given as reasons FOR the
Liverpool quotations of wheat showing an
advance of from 3sd for September to esd.
for December. The advance on the other
SIDE where a decline had been confidently
loked for was the principal reason for high
er prices at the-opening here. Behind the
still abiding cause of anxiety to short SELL
ers for September in the existing scarcity
of the grain in commercial channels. Com
paratively heavy receipts in the northwest
was the qualifying condition of affairs at the
start that the brokers took comfort from
and prevented anything like panic among
them from the disturbingly small amount
in store.
The weeks shipments of wheat and flour
bushels, compared with 1888 900 bushels the
previous week. The total receipts at west
ern primary markets was $4,000 bushels,
compared with 1852 900 bushels the year be-
fore. September left off with gain of NC
and December was &c higher.
The mood In corn was somewhat builish

traders apparently were inclined TO leave

Railroad Earnings in July

July railroad earnings from one point Of
view make the poorest showing reported
for more than one year past in that the
total earnings of leading railroads show a
gain of only per cent over the earnings
of the corresponding mileage one year ago.
When this is said, however, about all that
is really unfavorable has been uttered, be-
cause the gain in July, slight as 1t is. was
made In the face of an almost unprecedent-
ed falling off in the movement of grain to
and from primary points and seaboard mar
kets. When 1t Is added also, says Brad
streets, that the comparisons now making
with a year ago involve something consid-
erably different from previous months
comparisons, in that they compare with
period last year when the business improve
ment, as reflected In railroad earnings, was
we'll under way, and when it is further con-
sidered that the gain in July Is progress
sive one, marking an increase over July
last year. that month In turn marking gains
over July in previous years, 1t will be seen
that the poorness of the showing is more
apparent than real.

The statement of the Associated banks of
New York city for the week ending August
" shows shrinkage in surplus reserve of
nearly seven and half million dollars,
bringing the excess cash down to $21, 344 800,
a decrease of forty-one millions .~>s'e June
20 last. The statement Is about as was an
Iicipated, Rejecting as it does, the opera
tfons or the banks with the treasury on
bond account. AS the settlement has not
yet been completed and the flow of money
from the, interior has practically ceased
ment in the opposite direction for crop pur-
poses, there. seems to be no doubt that
money will harden temporarily In fact,
indications in this direction are now plen-
tiful: But whether an advance in rates will
be of long duration Is doubtful. The money
locked up in the treasury may be counted
as reserve, since 1t can be made available
pect OF continued gold imports presents
itself the moment that New York becom es
profitable field for idle capital Cue this
ment has really begun, and the small bal
ance that New York banks gained on ac-
count during the week came from nearby
cities. One feature that is causing embar-
ders which the banks hold, their reserves
consisting of nearly rs per cent gold. lie.
gal tenders are lower than since 1893, and
the banks need all they hold. This makes
the shipment of gold to the Interior i'm
perative, and as the operation is expensive
It Is having retarding effect. The treasury
department mas Deen appealed 10 py some
advocating the resumption of gold certlfi-
Gates. This has not met with encourage
ment, but relief has been promised in other
ways. SO that crop money may begin to
move rapidly from now. 1t is a disputed
question whether the west will need as much
money as anticipated for this purpose. I'm
til this is definitely known the money mar
ket will be rather uncertain, although firm
er In tone. The current statement has been
influenced by the operations of few large
banks, one institution reporting nearly the
whole loss in deposits and almost half the
loss in cash. The stock exchange transact
tons are probably responsible for the loan
expansion, but mercantile demands are a
considerable factor.
