The Geographical Society of Philadel- phia. acting on. the suggestion of Ad- miral Melville, will put into operation B project to demonstrate the exact cur rents of Arctic water north of Bering strait. It is Admiral Melville's idea that if oaken casks are set afloat on the ice in waters north of Alaska, they will come out in the course of four or five years somewhere between Spitzenber- gen and Greenland, and thus prove the correctness of the theory of northeast drift of those waters. The Geograph- ical Society has had a number of heavy casks made, in each of which bottle is placed. This bottle contains blank form on which the finder is to record the date and locality in which the cask Is recovered, and return the paper to Philadelphia. The casks will be placed on heavy ice, for if set in the open sea they might be crushed.

The silk industry has had a remark able development in the United States in recent years. In the annual review of the business by the secretary of the Silk Association it is shown that there are silk factories now in 230 towns in 19 different States, the number of es- establishments being 750. New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut lead in the manufacture of silk fabrics. Pet ersburg, Va., has been running silk mills for some years. We have not &C., climated the silk worm, but import the reeled yarn from other countries. In 1899 we imported 73,667 bales, worth $41, ,195, ,209, the average price per pound being $4.15. We export none of our silk fabrics, it appears, but sell all in the home market.

More Emplsyes NJ Better Wages the

In quiet lake shore village In Ohio
is an industry keeping 200 men busy
that in 1896 could scarcely find work
for 3s. The 200, too. are getting much
better wages per man than the smaller
number did. This industry illustrates
the situation in great lines OF indus
trial activity, amounting to thousands
OF men employed more than before,
and at higher wages. Houghton coun-
ty, Michigan, at It's recent annual in
dustrial census, showed 1881 men in
the copper mines and mills-nearly
with an equal increase in all other
lines OF activity. A Chicago concern
that in 1896 employed 500 people, at an
average pay of s7.57 per week. now
keeps $50 busy at an average pay of
$1,000 per week.
So II is everywhere. At Quincy, ILL.,,
the industries all make reports like
these, and this is interesting because 1t
was at Quincy that Bryan made this
characteristic remark.

dence of prosperity in the increased

points. the Massillon banks having in
four years doubled their deposits to

This is no chance or exceptional case,

WATCH THE COUNT.
Democratic Scheme to Garry
Ohio For Bryan.
KEEP GUARD AT EVERY PoINTl

There Are ThIrty-three Hundred Pro.
cipcts In Ohio, aud tho Stealing of q
Few Votes In Every Precinct Would
Mean q Change In the States Vote.
The Republican state committee is
informed that scheme is on foot to
steal the state for Bryan, II it can be
done.
There are many ways in which this
might be attempted, and every one of
these should be guarded against One
is. to call a Republican ticket as a
Democratic one, in the count of the
vote. Another. and a very clever one,
Is for q Democratic Judge who is
calling" the tickets one by one to
pick up two tickets at time, thus
losing one vote to Mckinley and the
whole Republican ticket every time
this Is done.
A single Democrat, on an election
board, may thus reverse the verdict of
his precinct. The ballots are destroy
ed when the count Is completed, thus
precluding any recount. See to It that
the count is an honest one. The Re-
puolicans have nothing to fear from
an honest ballot and straight count
Republican precinct committeeman
In every precinct in Ohio have the
legal right to see that EVERY Ball
LOT is not only called, but is called
correctly. Insist on your legal rights!
Men who can be relied upon abso-
lutely should be appointed watchers
al EVERY polling place in the state,
and they should be instructed to see
that neither Republicans nor Demo-
Gratis shall be cheated out Of the votes
which legally belong to them. Re-
publicans want honest elections. They
believe in the rule of the majority,
and not IN fraud and cheating.

A woman has to have a knowledge
of business conditions if she expects
suu,r,n s,m- to get the most
comfort for her
h'f' family out of the
least money. For instance, II she
makes jelly and jam, and fills up her
cupboard and closets with goodies in
the summer for the winters con-
sumption, she should buy her sugar
in the spring when the price is low.
For just as sure as strawberries come
in May, so sugar goes up with the
mercury, and ii refuses to come down
until the frosty pumpkin is in the
pie. There is good deal more sugar
used il the summer than in the
where fruit is being canned, but in
families on the saucers of berries and
on shortcakes and pies, and in the
fruit put away for the winter. Thus
the price goes up, and the people who
refine sugar in this country, possibly
take advantage of that fact and, as
railroad men say, put on all the
traffic will bear" The moral of this
is to buy out of season. Buy blankets
in July and lawns in January, and
Christmas gifts at any time, except
just before Christmas, and flour by
the barrel when the price is lowest,
and coal-well. buy coal when the
coal men are quarreling and cutting
prices. And ice? There is no rule
about ice, no way but to buy it as
fast as it melts, pay for it and take
it out on the ice man. And be sure
he weighs the ice. Yes, and ask the
grocer to weigh the sugar before he
puts it into the stout red paper bag.
That heavy red paper bag is getting
special attention from the labor un-
ions just now, who object to paying
for it at the pound rate of groceries.
And remember that all these little
things count in economical living.
