learned that great anxiety existed among them, as to their prospects for employment in the not far distant future owing to the fact that several of the trusts were already dispensing with the services of their solicitors. This gentleman stated that this was almost the sole topic of conver- sation among travelling men as they meet now, while until recent ly the subject was not considered.
 1t has been demonstrated that whenever a trust becomes we'll established and in shape to control prices it has no need to solicit trade or advertise even, and there by Its expenses are very materially reduced.
 This is all right for the trusts but their faithful and energetic solicitors are begging to ask, "what is going to become of us, and those dependent on our labors, when our occupation is taken away?"
 We are told that there are 300, 900 of these men in the United States and from the rapidIty with which trust are being formed it will not be long before nearly every line these men represent will be controlled to such an extent that merchants will be compelled to buy direct, at the trusts es- tablished prices, and that without solicitation, except possibly by circular letters and price lists.
 To this large body of we'll trained business men, many of whom have given the best years of their lives to this servlce, this question is becoming a serious problem, and daily the ranks of the antitrust army is being aug mented from thelr number.
 Careful estimates show that fully 10000 have been discharged since January 1st, 1899.

POSSIBILITIES OF LIQUID AIR.

Ira Remsen, the distinguished professor of chemistry in the John Hopkins university, contributes a paper to the May issue of the pop ular Science Monthly in which he discusses .,''liquid air" which has now become easily procurable, owing to the efforts of Tripler,
 who has reduced the cost from $500 for a half pint to S20 for five gallons. The most interesting part of Professor Remsen's article is that in which he indicates the practical applications of Tripler's experiments, for he believes that liquid air will soon pass through the plaything stage. Four ap- plications he indicates, as fol- low: First, tho use of the liquid as a cooling agent; second as a source of power in motors, owing to its enormous power of expan- sion: third, in the preparation of explosives; and, fourth for the purpose of getting oxygen from the air, which has commercial value, cheap oxygen being desi- deratum in many branches of in- dustry. It is Professor Remse's belief that liquid air will prove it. self a useful substance, and as work with it is now being carried on Tn three countries important development may be expected in the near future.

The proposition to have thor ough and reliable test made by the cyanide process of the vari- ous ores taken from the mines be- ing prospected in this vicinity under the direction of our busi- ness men, we think, IS a good one and entirely practical. If the cyanide process will demonstrate the fact that we have rock in quantity carrying the precious metals as reported, there will be no trouble to get capital to come and put in the necessary machin- cry or mining plants to take 1t out, and when capital comes to do this men will follow by the thousand. While an uncertainty exists about this question, capital will not invest, and without capi- tai but little can be done of a practical nature. It will certain ly pay to give these ores a fair test under conditions that will be satisfactory and leave no feelings of doubt. Let the work proceed.

does not seem to find Judgement in the average mind. This no doubt is the result of the common notion that wool is the main thing in sheep husbandry. The produc- ton of mutton alone will pay for sheep breeding. There is grow ing demand for mutton, and the better the mutton, the greater the demand will be. There are few who could not keep a small flock of sheep and sell all the mutton they produce in the nearest town or among their neighboring farm CTS. A dozen sheep will pay on any small farm.

SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS.

If a farm is dry enough for sheep-and if it is not it can often be made so by drainage-sheep will pay even on small farms. There is prevalent disposition in these days to believe that there is no money in sheep unless they are kept in large or comparatively large flocks. The idea that few sheep on the farm are valuable
