THE SHAMROCK'S
 THIRD TRIAL SPIN Several New Features Noticed in the Cup
 Challenger. BOW RAISED OUT OF WATER She Did Not Develop as Great Speed As
 Usual.
CONVEYED BY STEAM YACHT ERIN
The Ocean Liner Auguste Victoria Dipped Her Colors to Sir Thomas Lipton's Staunch Little En-
 glish-Scottish Racer.

New York September Tn a breeze ranging from eight to ten knots an hour the Shamrock took her third trial spin to- day off Sandy Hook. When the yacht left her moorings in the Horse Shoe at 10 o'clock the wind was light from the north east. After it freshened and shifted to the southeast.
 Several New Features
 During the trial which lasted about six hours, several new features were notiee- able. The yachts trim had been altered by the addition of more ballast aft, rais- ing her bow out of the water, and she set her club top sail for the first time In these waters.
 It Is a very large piece of canvass fit- ting splenddly and apparently doing excel lent work in light airs As soon as her main sail was bent it was hoisted and the Shamrock slipped her moorings and was lowed out past the point of Sandy Hook by a tug She was conveyed by the steam yacht Erin. For some thirty minutes after the tug let go the yacht lay in the wind with main sail and club top sail up A boat was rigged and Sir Thomas was trans- ferred to the Shamrock. Then she pro- ceeded to try her main sail, about which there are all sorts of rumors regarding size and weight.
 Sails Trimmed Down
 Breaking out the iib and forestay sail the Shamrock was headed to the southwest for about thirty minutes, first with baby jib top sail set and then with a larger one. Then the sails were trimmed down and she hauled close to the wind This was at noon. The ocean liner Auguste Victoria, bound east, dipped her colors to the yacht. The salute was returned and the steamer was soon hull down on the horizon The steamer Germanic signalled "suceess' to the yacht.
 The Shamrock stood off to sea for nearly and 1ur easing sheets at times and shift ing tight sails, but at no time did she de- veop the great speed credited to her in former trials. In fact, she seemed not to be up to her nautical rival in light winds.

A DiaboIicmI Invention.

Details are given of an invention which fills us with dismay. According to the account furnished by the in- ventor, his new photographic voice trumpet magnifies musical and vocal sounds in such volume as to render them uncomfortable in room and satis- factorily distinct two miles off. In time he hopes to extend the stentorophonic capacity of this terrible. trumpet to thrice that distance His first idea was to enable ship captains to converse in a heavy sea fog or at night. Now, how ever, he has realized that by the aid of his sound magnifier telephones can be made which will allow political speak ar or professional vocalist to entertain three or four audiences seated in halls wide apart at one and the same time
 The power which is thus placed in the hands of those who are fond of hear ing their own voices is nothing short of devastating. Imagine again the inham- matory effect of debate in the French chamber being switched" on to the working quarters, or of Sir Ellis Ash mead-Bartlett simultaneously ravishing the ears of the house of commons and of demonstration" in Hyde park. Seriously, it is impossible to profess enthusiasm for an invention calculated to enhance the dominion of din under which modern dwellers in cities inces- sanity groan. n.-London Spectator.

DELAWARE FIGHT ENDS.
Assembly Adjourn. without EIect

Assembly AdJourns Without Elect
 ing Successor to Senator Gray.
 After one of the most exciting scenes ever witnessed in the general assembly of Delaware the session of 1899 ended without electing a United States sen ator to succeed Hon. George Gray. It Is the first time In the history of the state that there is an unquestioned sen- atorial vacancy, and, owing to the es- tablished precedent of the upper house of congress in refusing to seat guberna- torial appointees after the legislature of a state has had an opportunity to elect. the seat of MT. Gray will remain vacant until the general assembly of 1901 shall choose his successor. At the same time the term of Senator Richard R. Kinney will also expire, and 1t will therefore devolve upon the next legislature to elect two senators.
 The final ballot, the one hundred and thirteenth during the session, was as follows: John Edward Addicks (Univn Rep), 21; Colonel Henry A. Dupont Rep.), g; John Biggs Oem.), 6; ex- Congressman L. Irving Handy (Dem.), 5; ex-Senator George Gray (Dem.). 4; Willard Salisbury Dem.). 3. and ex- Senator Anthony Higgins (Rep), 3.

There were 15.o00 per- sons present. the largest crowd that has assembled here since the Cuban refu- gees came in from El Caney. Among the number were many Americans. Three thousand school children filled the plaza. where music was rendered by American bands. Senor Bacardi and several other speakers reviewed the history of Cuba and the C6bans and dwelt at length upon the liberty that has finally come to the island. They all declared that itSwould not be long be- fore the island would be completely in- dependent, the time depending entirely uoon the Cubans themselves.

Chief Agent In the Great French
 Copper Ring.
 M. Secretan, founder of the Societe des Metaux and chief agent in the great copper ring of 1888, Is dead.
 The late M. Secretan in February, 1888, formed French syndicate to raise the price of copper, then very low, by a monopoly. The syndicate had every thing its own way until March of the following year. when it came to grief through M. Secretan's wild speculation in copper its collapse being followed by a widespread panic. M. Secretan's tap estries, china and articles of virtu. with some of his pictures. were sold at pub- lie auction, realizing enormous prices. Shortly afterward 17 pictures were taken to London, where they were sold by Messrs. Christie for nearly $50 900. He contrived, however, to save enough from the wreck to live comfortably.

Favorable Words For the Leaning
 as to Yield and Quality.
 The changed conditions brought about through the use of the silo. together with an increasing .nse of soiling crops, have developed an interest in knowing the relative value of crops used for these purposes. Their real value must be solved by the individual Conditions and kinds of soil, the domestic animals kept, together with conveniences and facilities for handling the crop. go a good way toward solving the problem Recognizing these facts the New Hampshire station has been testing various forage plants for the last three years, and it's experience with ensilage corn is reported as follows by Professor E. William Rane.
 Many varieties of ensilage corn have been grown at the station for the past few years but the question resolves It. self down to two varieties. which. we believe, are the ones best adapted to our conditions-namely. the Leaning and the Sanford The former is prefer able, we believe. for the southern part of the state. and the latter perhaps for the northern. Both mature sufficiently for ensilage here at the station
 The Sanford is too well known to farmers generally to need any recom- mendation. Ever since 1866 this variety

FOUR VARIETIES or EHsILAGE CORN. has boen the main crop here until three years ago Last year we planted about half the crop to each The present sea son fully three-fourths of the ensilage crop was of the Leaning.
 Unlike the Sanford. which is white flint. the Leaning is a yellow dent corn. and is one of the earliest grown. The ears are large and handsome. with deep grain and small cob. The stalks grow to medium size, from one to two feet taller than the Sanford It is very leafy and usually produces two good ears to the stalk. It adapts itself to various kinds of soils equally as well as the Sanford
 The comparative yields of the two varieties during the past seasons have been from two to four tons per acre in favor of the Leaning Not only has the yield been much better. but Pro lessor Morse. who has had charge of the feeding experiments. tells me that the ensilage is equally as good as that of the Sanford. and changing from the one to the other makes no perceptible difference in the milk flow or it's com position.
 It is hoped that all who are interest ed in ensilage will give the Leaning corn a small trial at least. The cut Is 8 photograph of four varieties Begin ming at the left hand side. they are Mosby's Prolific. Leaning. Pisers and Sanford

Sugar Beet. and Sorghum I. On

ocG<e &h0 oohk Aa
 The general results of analyses of sugar beets for 1898 in Ohio show that the beets were less rich in sugar and showed lower purity than in 1897. Many fine plots of beets were grown in the state, however. notwithstanding these less favorable results. Taking the experience of the two seasons 1t is evi- dent that the problem of profitable beet sugar production is not yet solved. for the northern third of the state at least The state station desires that tests should be repeated by those who have had experience in growing beets in 1897 and 1898. and to this end it will furnish tested seed in quantities suffi- cient to plant one-fourth to one-half acre of beets to such as will undertake to carry out the test and report the re- suits as in 1898. The station also offers to send out sorghum seed raised under the auspices of the national department of agriculture at Medicine Lodge. Kan It desires to send this sorghum seed es- pecially into the southern counties where experience has shown the condi- tions to be unsuited to the culture of the sugar beet Farmers willing to CO., operate should send their addresses at once to the experiment station, Woes ter.
