prnfitable Emit Growing.

Now an again some interesting
facts come to the surface about the
production of fruits aud delicacies of
various sorts by means of which some
grower more shrewd, painstaking or
practical than his fellows, has made
fortune, or is on the high road to that
most alluring state of things. 1t may
be strawberries, mushrooms, hot-house
grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes or what
not, but it is success with consequent
results.
Straightway scores OF persons rush
into the same business, and for time,
the market is threatened with over
stock, and prices will, it is predicted,
come down far below the cost of pro-
duction. But for some mysterious
reason, after few years all of this
excitement dies out, glass sash, frames
and materials for horheds are for sale
for song,and the enthusiastic grower
having parted with n goodly amount
of his surplus cash, if indeed he has
not become utterly bankrupt, makes
up his mind that there is some trick
or catch about the business, and that
ms for him and his house they will
stick to old fashioned legitimate farm
ing and gardening. 1t is only the
genius who succeeds in accomplishing
great things in the way of forcinS s
fruit and vegetables. Indeed, it is
the experience oflife that great sue
cesses are among the most uncommon
of occurrences.
There is very little danger of over
stocking the market with exceedingly
fine products. A gardeae" who has
followed his business for half q CEN
tury remarked the other day that it
would make but very little difference
to him if ho!houses were set up on
every place in his community. He
has his trade secured and established,
by the most painstaking and intelli-
gent work on his Specialties, and it is
the height of absurdity to su: pose that
any amateur can come along and sue
cessfully compete with him. The rules
that apply to one class of growers fit
equally to all. There are but Jew
men who can contract to furnish at q
given date given number of spring
lambs in perfect condition. The same
may be said OF poultry and other
meats. In out-of-door products and
the ordinary garden yield there is al
most as much certainty that the un-
certain will be the rule. Agreement
to supply thousand heads of cauli-
flower resulted in the production Of
less than fifty that were up to sand
ard. Lettuce grown by ordinary
methods is practically unmerchant-
able.
The impression prevails that the
standard vegetables can be grown with
the greatest ease, and SO they can, but
few experts have taken these familiar
friends of ours in hand and have
brought them up to quality that has
completely demoralized the market
Vegetables such as were grown ten or
fifteen years ago dealers would not
take at any price, and any attempt to
realize profit from them would be
met with utter failure. Apples that
would have been merchantable when
the present farmers were starting ont
in life now go into the cider mill.

his profession. He was assistant engineer

bas since conducted large engineering
operations. He has been located In Detroit
since 1851, and has large acquaintance
among the business men and citizens Of
this city.
Two years ago. for the first time, Mdjot
Bishop was In tho hospital. For two

Lieutenant Hains, commanding nm
artillery platoon under Captain Potts

is now at St. Luke's hospital, in New
York city. Talking with his brother,
Captain T. Rankins Hains, who was at
his bedside, ne said;

tain Potts was ordered to proceed mp
the San Juan rond with five guns fer
the purpose of shelling the Spanish
trenches at Asomanta. Fohf guns,
which included my platoon, were
moved into position III field hear the
San Juan road at range of 5000
yards, ihe fifth gun being sent ahead
100 yards to our right on the road.
"Just before we came into action
The enemy OF ened on lis with infantry
volleys and two 3-inch howitzers. This
hastened US into action. We picked
up the range Immediately and did
splendid work. The two howitZers
were soon silencel and the Spaniards
were seen running from their intrench-
ments. Then we slackened our fire.
"Soon after we did SO the enemy
took heart and began to return. Gen.
eral James Ell. Wilson sent me with q
gun up the roal in advance of the
rest to try and enflade the enemy. I
went'up the road on horseback about
200 yards and found company of
Wisconsin infantry on q bead OF the
road which formed cover from the
Spanish fire. I passed beyond them,
and the gun was unlimbered in the
next turn of the road in somewhat
sheltered position. Ny men lay down
by the roadside to escape the Spanish
volleys, the mausers coming in .astofn
with each volley.

could see no Spaniards nearer than
500 or 600 yards, I had him run the
gun out on the rohd little. We had
no sooner done this than the fire sud-
denly increased fercely, so the gun
could not be served. We hauled the
gun back to the next turn in the road,
where we were joined by the second
gun, still unable to do any great.exe-
cution owing to the sheltered. position

with fierceness, bat from our new Sfo-

The very first shot landed fairly upon

fnand notice, the question Of tho depth
to which life could extend divided SCI
entifc thought into warning camps:
About 1910 it was generally believed
that the bathymetrical limit was about
three hundred fathoms, and some
strange ideas were current as to the
physical condition Of water when uIl-
der pressure such as q depth Of two
miles would produce. 1t was thought
that skeletons of drowned men and
even heavy cannon and the .'"'wedges
Of gold" that popular Imagination
places in the sea. hoated ait certain lev
els, beneath which is water so COM
pressed ms to be impenetrable. In fact
water Is almost incon1prehensible, and
the weight of n cubic inch of 1t Mt
the depth of d tilie:is very little more
than at the surface, :bufsit was dssum-
ed that no living being could survive
n pressure which at 1000 fathoms Is
about ton to the square inch.
We ourselves live Under pressure
of about fifteen pounds per inch, and
are unaware of it. Indeed, we some
times s-wakeh on Il morning when the
barometer has risen, say, hall an inch
during the night, and consequently
find ourselves sustaining an increased
pressure Of several tons, not only
without suffering, but with positive
feeling of buoyancy and good spirits.
On the other hand If the tremendous
pressure under which we live be re-
lieved as by a surgical "cup," severe
injury may follow. Aeronauts suffer
from this cause and marine animals

made that no mail was sent out from

sent to inquire INTO the matter. He
called upon the postmaster and asked
why no mail had been sent out. The
