A Sea Trip on Dry Land.
London Chronicle.

One of the attractions of the Paris
exhibition is to be the Mareorama, de-
vised and painted by NJ. Hugo d'Ale.i,
the well-known poster artist. After
duly paying his fee, the visitor will
pass gangway and find himself on
the deck of a first-class passenger
steamer, with captain, crew, rigging,
smoking tunnels, and every other de-
tail complete. Around stretches a
blue and sparkling sea, while behind
may be seen the port OF Marseilles
fading away on the horizon. Machin-
cry imparts a pleasant rocking motion
to the fictitious vessel, and a concealed
fan makes breeze rs the traveller
skins past LIE Frioul and the Chateau
DIFF. The sun sets and rises to reveal
Naples and Vesuvius, and having
safely passed between Scylla and Cha
rybdis, the good ship reaches in few
minutes the harbor of Sfas in Tunis.
Venice will be the next halting place,
and finally the passengers glide up the
Bosphorus to Constantinople, but .
storm must first be faced. The illu-
sion throughout is said to be marvel

THE curious fact that corn, potatoes
and other plants thrive better when
placed in rows running north and
south has been proved by DIR. Wollny
Of Munich. This reduces the shading
by each other to a minimum, more
uniform and regular light, heat and
moisture resulting.

THE LAST ACTS
Of The City Council.

At thelast session OF the retiring
City Council, the much talked o
plank walk for the high schoo
was ordered to be built, the city
furnishing the planks and the fund
obtained by the concert given by
the pupils of the high school paying
for the work.
The high school will also be
provided with electric lights and so
will the different stations of the
fire department.
These three acts demands a vote
of thanks which the ADVERTISER
moves, seconds and passes to the
retiring City Council, and in so
doing expresses but feebly the
everlasting remembrance of those
benefited by the last acts of the
now "defunct' city council.

existence is depending upon the
daily work of the sons of the soil
1t is high time, therefore, that
the farmers be entitled to their
justly dies, they only ask to be
protected in theirs and are willing
and always have been to act with
fairness to the other side in fact
they, in the past, have proved it
and have been overbearing.
But there is limit to every
thing and the limit has been
reached.
The farmers have decided to
cease to be slaves and assert their
freedom.
No one can question their right
to do so.

THE EXPECTED STORM.
No New Developments Reported to
the Weather bureau


No further developments in the progress
of the second tropical storm now central
near Santiago de Cuba were reported by
the Weather Bureau last night further
than a slight increase in its energy. Yes
terday morning the bureau reports from
San Juan showed maximum wind We
locity OF fortycight miles an hour from
the southeast, and at st. Kits twenty
eight miles an hour. Dr. II. G., Franken-
field forecast official of the Weather Bu-
reau. stated last night that the proper
tions of the storm were so far insignih-
cant. As a matter of fact there is no
storm as yet properly speaking. What
is termed a storm is merely an area of low
pressure taking a est-northwesterly di-
rection. There is SO far no wind to speak
of.
The storm, however is slowly increas-
ing in energy, and while 70 hurricane
characteristics have appeared it is poss-
bic that they will. According TO the Wea-
ther Bureau the present storm is follow
ing the path OF the previous hurricane
which swept Porto Rico. The disturbance
is being closely watched, and all the warn
ing possible viii be given.
