School Exhibit,

A really fine exhibit Of school work was
made Wednesday Thursday and Friday OF
this week in room B at the high school build
ing where the articles had been tsstefully
arranged according to the grade, from
which they came.
Only the Saxtons River and Bellows
Falls schools were represented, and in this
school the work was done by the pupils
from the first to the eighth grade, inclu-
sive. From the clay modelling of the
primaries to the handsome water colors of
the eighth grade, neatness in finish and
accuracy in detail was noticeable through
out the display.
Very handsome specimens of vertical
penmanship were shown in the form of
booklets, where the subject matter wa,
written and then illustrated with pencil
drawings or water color sketches From
the fifth grade there were miniature cords
OF wood, the measurement OF wood being
taken up in that grade, and the most shape
ly piles, it was learned with some surprise,
was the work OF three little girls. .
Nearly all the drawings were made from
nature studies, it being the intention Of the
teacher to allow but very little copying,
and the results obtained are more than a
sufficient recommendation of the methods
employed. There were many designs from
the Japanese, several posters and also
specimens of the Egyptian and Grecian
styles of art.
The special teacher in drawing and
writing, Miss Mary Baker, is entitled to
much credit for the excellence OF the work
in her departments, while the devotion and
pedagogical skill Of the teachers generally
is recognized in this exhibit by what their
pupils are able to accomplish.

Cleveland a POacher.

A despatch from Winsted, Connecticut,
to the New York World says:
1t has been long time since Grover
Cleveland has been threatened with arrest
and been compelled to climb fence in
order to escape. Probably he had that
experience when he was boy and better
able to climb fences than he is now.
The former president of the United
States was poaching. There isn't any
doubt about it. OF course there are miti-
eating circumstances. Mr.. Cleveland was
fishing for trout, and when so ardent q
fisherman as be is having luck it is not ex-
pected that he should see the sign, "Tres-
passing, hunting and fishing on these
premises strictly forbidden by law"
Mr.. Cleveland was not looking for signs.
He came to Tyringham to be the guest Of
Richard Watson Glider, who has cottage
just over the state line, in the Berkshire
bills Of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Cleveland, properly attired, sailed
forth tor trout Tuesday morning. He paid
no attention to signs, as has been said, fol
he had luck. He was not troubled until

soma Tyringham farmer, with something o.
temper and vlgilant eye.
Not that Mr.. Cleveland tried to conceal
himself. He is wise man and knew the
impossibility Of it. Mr.. johnson started
post haste for the poacher and reached him
just as Mr.. Cleveland had landed a par
ticularly large and gamy speckled beauty.
''Here, you," shouted Farmer johnson,
"get out Of this quick or will have you
arrestedm johnson has had fishermen ar
rested for whipping his brook and he
meant what he said. He added other
things not complimentary.
Mr.. Cleveland said nothing at ALL. He
shouldered bis rod, hung his basket owe,
his shoulder and started away with as much
haste as his physical proportions per
mitted.
There was fence in his path. He had
to climb it. Mr.. Cleveland was doing
nobly when the fence, not built to with
stand 800 pounds, collapsed into kindline
wood.
When johnson was told the fsherman'l
identity he was surprised but not cha
grined.
"You don't say so," he remarked.
"Well, was after the village postofice
when he was president the last time and /
did not get it. reckon we are about even
now"

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER.
Tanks Are Replenished While the Lo-
connective Is Making Speed.

On many of the railroads centering
at Chicago it is no longer necessary for
a train to stop to enable the engineer
TO replenish his boilers with water. All
travellers have now become accustomed
to seeing the narrow trough, 1000 to
1.4OO feet long, at various dead level
points along the road and they know
that the strip of water which it con-
tains is scooped up by the engine as 1t
speeds over the tracks. But people
from foreign countries often ask ques-
tons about the water between the
tracks and marvel when they hear the
story about drinking" the engine on
the fly.
What seems a mervelous mechanical
contrivance is an extremely simple
thing. A pipe with scoop end is fast
ened to the tender. 1t is c shaped,
with the top end pointing into the water
tank and the bottom curled under the
body of the tender. BY series of le-
vers this end may be dropped until it
reaches the level of the ties.
When the engine reaches the trough
the fireman drops the scoop end, which
is three inches and a half high and -
inches wide, into the trough, into which
it sinks a distance of about six inches
or within an inch of the bottom. It
may wabble slightly without doing any
harm, because the trough is "a inches
wide.
Dropping the end is all that is done,
for the motion of the engine does the
rest. The water rushes into the pipe and
thence into the tank with a rush and
force that suggests to the uninitiated
the use of powerful engines.
The most remarkable thing about
the water-taking SCOOP" said a rail-
road official, lis the fact that the speed
of the train must be reduced when the
water is taken on. 1t reaches the bend
in the pipe with such force that if the
train We're allowed to go at its regular
speed the metal would be seriously
strained, so we reduce the speed to
about 80 miles an hour and have the
best results
While the engine is passing over the
trough at the rate of 80 miles an hour
it takes up about 1000 gallons of water
about as much as would be contained
in 100 spirit barrels

and for these copper is a necessity. The
consequence has been heavy increase in
prices, which, however. has chiefly de-
veloped since the close Of 1898. The de-
mand still continues. and there is no
doubt that the current year will show
consumption of copper even larger
than that of 1898.
How this demand can be met is the
question of greatest interest to the trade
at present. All talk of substituting 9TH
er metals may be disregarded. Nickel
can be used instead of copper for some
purposes, but the price Is too high and
the supply too small to permit of any ex-
tensive substitution. Aluminium could be
used in many places for electrical work,
and the price-allowing for relative

however, is too small to have any effect
on the copper market, and the production
cannot be increased rapidly. Zinc can
take the place of copper only to a very
limited extent and for few purposes.
Undoubtedly the current year will show
a further increase in copper production,
though it is not easy as yet to say how
great 1t will be. Part of the gain, what
ever it may be, must come from the
mines now working. New copper claims
are being located and old mines are be-
ing reopened in many places in this and
other countries; but as we have often
remarked. the opening of a copper mine
and its development into a producer take
time and money. The number of new and
reopened mines which will figure in the
reports of 1899 is comparatively small.
There is not much doubt, however, that
production will overtake consumption be-
fore long, and that any scarcity of cop
per will be only temporary. 1t is more
than probable that the supplies will once
more exceed the demand and that a drop
in prices will be the result The compa-

The table shows how important is the
position held by the United States as
copper producer. The mines of this
country furnished last year 243, o69 metric
tons, or 55.1 per cent. of the worlds sup
ply. No other country approached this,
Spain, the second in rank, reporting a
total of 54077 tons, or considerably less
than one-fourth of the output of the
United States. The Spanish production
was 1913 per cent of the total; the other
important countries show proportions as
follows: Japan, SIS per cent; Chile, 81;
Germany, AS; Australasia, Al per cent.
The six countries named furnished s7.6
per cent. of the total supply last year.
Four of them-the United States Spain.
Chile and Australasia-ha each a large
surplus for export, the United States
leading, of course, In virtue of its great
production, Notwithstanding the large
quantity of the metal consumed in its
varied industries. Spain, Chile and Aus
tralasia are not manufacturing countries
and sell nearly all their output abroad.
Germany consumes all the copper it pro-
duces, and more; while Japan has only
a small surplus, which goes chiefly to
China and other Eastern countries. Re-
Gently, however, some Japanese copper
has gone to Europe, attracted by the
high prices.
If we take the whole period of five years
we find remarkable growth, the gain
