opinion that 1899 will be the banner
year for medium-priced, "ell-bred ami
mails.
The receipt of 100000 hogs IN one
market in the course of single year
is nothing short of phenomenal. But
still more surprising is the circum-
stance that each animal sold for 50. a
price which should leave a profitable
margin for the farmer and stock raiser.
In the sheep section of the yards there
has recently been erected a complete
dip and pool, whose work is conducted
under the control of the government
and done under the direct supervision
of government agents. Five hundred
thousand sheep have been dipped up to
January 1, 1899, and all danger from
ticks has been effectively removed.
Gratifying as this showing must be
to the farmers of the central, western
and southern states, they must be still
more pleased with the predictions Of
the leading Chicago grain and livestock
operators to the effect that while the
speculative market will be dull all
through 1899 there will be a steady
cash demand for all kinds OF grain and
stock.
The export trade. which has become
an important feature of the produce
market, will consume all the surplus
products of American farms for at
least another twelvemonth at prices
that should be satisfactory even 10 the
chronic kicker.
Altogether it looks as If the American
farmer had entered upon an era Of fat
years and prosperity extraordinary.
1t may. however, be permissible to add
that much Of his prosperity will depend
upon the grain and produce merchants
of our large cities who know how to
control foreign markets for the benefit
of American producers. Chief among
these great international commercial
agencies is the Chicago beard Of trade,
whose members handle more grain
than the merchants of all other west
ern cities combined. Hence upon the
Judgment. wisdom and disinterested
ness of these men must, In a large
measure, rest the pecuniary welfare Of
every tiller of the soil. And that is an
other reason why producer and dealer
should come closer together instead of
permitting themselves to drift apart.
Their interests are mutual, whatever
demagogues may say to the contrary.

Chicago still Ii the Greatest Grais

ESPECIAL Chicago Letter.l

Chicago's two great industries are
its grain and live stock trades. 1t
was said some years ago that Kan
sas City and Omaha would outstrip
the western metropolis as stock
markets and that the same cities,
Duluth and Minneapolis would crowd
1t pretty close as grain markets.
Official figures of last years transac-
tions of the Chicago board of trade
and the Union Stock yards, furnished
to me by the officers of the two corpora
tions, prove that the Illinois city still

for many years to come are reliable.
1t is possible that the famous Letter

1897, and collapsed July l, 1898, had
something to do with the enormous
totals of Chicago board of trade bank
clearings, but certainly not enough 10

The common belief that horses are
ho longer good property is discounted
by the fact that 6,000 more horses ar
rived and were sold at the Union stock
yards than in any previous year, and
that an average price of $40 was re-
ceived for them. Part of this increase is
accounted for, of course, by the Spanish
American war and the demand for cav
airy horses created by it. Mary Of
these animals were bought in the Chica-

Hancock house, in Corn court, which
occupies the site on which the first
tavern was built, in 1884. and known
in the Oldest record Of Boston's public
houses as Coles tavern. In an account

FROG is WONDERFUL.
From Tadpolehood to Maturity His

From n vegetnbIe-Eating Fish with

Air Bre8thing, Carniv-
orous Quadruped.
Especial Washington Letter.l

The Klondke of scientific nforma-
ton, the Smithsonian institution, re-
Gently gave us some interesting infor-
nation about the formation of our
earth and considerable speculation con-
cerning the length of the life of the
world, up to date.
There is scarcely line of thought
or of investigation which cannot be
studied with profit and pleasure in
that wonderful institution, and its off
spring, the National museum; be-
cause here are scientific men who have
surrounded themselves with all OF the
discoveries and appliances of modern
times. And back of them, ready to
pay all expenses, is the congress which
makes liberal appropriations for the
continuance of the work.
The evolutionist can here find all
of the facts which may be required
to prove his theory; for there are
stuffed gorillas, monkeys and all
branches of the quadrumana family.
They are so arranged that one can
trace the development of the monkey
into man; and the line of demarkation
between the quadrumana and the bi-
mana families is very strikingly por-
trayed.
Here you can also see mounted skele-
tons of fishes, some of them so large as
to enable any doubter to believe that
1.-The whale swallowed Jonah" By the
way, it should be understood by every
one that the Bible does not assert that
"a whale" swallowed Jonah. The He
brew is dag haggadol," which means
"a great fish" That makes all the diff
ference in the world. Whales do not
abound in the Mediterranean sea, but
sharks do; and here in the Smith
sonian there is mounted the skeleton
of a shark which indeed must have
been "a great fish," for it was big
enough to swallow good-sized man.
Of late years all of the birds of the
world have been stuffed and mounted
in the Smithsonian building, while
nearly all Of the scientific specimens
have been set up in the National mu-
scum; and everything has been ar
ranged and indexed so that students
can be directed to any specimen of
anything that may be desired. This
would be great place for college boys
to finish their educations.
The osteologist has given consider
able of his time and attention to the
study of frogs, and gave an interesting
talk on that subject. He was holding
by one leg large bullfrog which he
had just captured with bit of rec
flannel on hook. He declared the
frog to be a curiosity anatomically
having three forearms on one side OF
its body, all of full size, although the
creature was not otherwise remarkable
in any respect. His intention was to
dissect him for scientific purposes; and
it. was explained that the frog freak
was very likely due to the fact that,
having started life as two frogs, the
bodies became drawn together and
grew together, just as the Siamese
twins grew together.
The frog has been called the vic
tim of SCIENCE" said the osteologist,
"He is everywhere dissected for the

The foreign demand for food products
of every kind was phenomenal during
the latter half of 1898; and an over
whelming percentage of the export
trade was carried on through Chicago
houses. According to the secretary OF
the board of trade the following were
the receipts and shipments OF all the
leading articles of produce, excepting
live stock:
