Wonders OF the Ring NebuIa

With the Crossley rejecting telescope
at the Lick observatory photographs
have recently been obtained which
show surprising structure in the Gel
ebrated Ring Nebula in the consteIla-
tion Lyra. With an ordinary telescope
this nebula appears only as delicate
oval, hanging like little smoke ring,
with faint stars sprinkled about it on.
the dark sky. The photographs not
only reveal a star situated in the center
of the ring. but they show that the ring
is made up, TO use Prof. Keeler's express
sion, ''of a number of narrower rings
interlacing somewhat irregularly." The
space within the ring, which is covered
with faint nebulosity, is seen in the
photographs to be crossed by three
dark and two bright bands. Near the
ring is small Independent nebula
whose Photographic image appears in
the form of a .left-handed. two
branched spiral."-Youth's COMPANION.

Meihodism in Gardiner.

We are here this afternoon to cello
brate the event that took place on yon-
der point of land almost 4 century ago
this summer, the establishment Of the
worship of God in accordance with the
teachings Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
In the summer of 1900, a small com
pany of people residing on the east
side of the kennebec river requested
the Methodist circuit riders To come to
their town and preach to them. Their
petition was granted and two minis
tiers. Epaphrias Kilby and Comfort G.
Smith met them on BOwmans point
and preached to them. That was the
first appearance of Mcthodism in the
neighborhood that is now Gardiner
and from that day to the present there
have beer Christian services in accord
anCe with the policy of the Methodist
church within the limits of the present
town of Gardiner and it's near neigh
borhood
One hundred years ago, How very
much those words contain At that
time. there was no Gardiner, no Ran
dolph, no Chelsea. A line drawn east

in the leaf market for the entire month
of April, and that it still lasts, is the
more unaccountable. 1t was only broken
last week by single sale worth mention
ing, and that was the sale of 1000 boxes
of '9S Wisconsin by Pearl street pack
er to an uptown consumer. No single
sale of such magnitude has taken place
in the market for at least two months.
The price paid did not come up to the
market ratio, for it was below 12c, and
the purchaser rather than the seller
seems to have had the best of the bar
gain. /
The new Sumatra is creeping it's way
into the factories, but it does not seem
to have come out of that purgatory as
yet fully whitewashed. The manufac-
turers are as slow to realize what they
have in the 80 crop as they were last
year in regard to the 9S crop. The en-
lightenment will strike them all at once,
then there will be rush, boom, etc.
While writing this, cablegram reaches

reads: Next weeks inscription will

LANCASTER New ERA. May l, 1900.

Complaints of dullness are still the
rule in the leaf trade, and the cry is
warranted by the amount of business
done. 1t is, of course, impossible to fore
tell the state of the market, but, from
the dearth of desirable old leaf now in
the hands of the dealers, it hardly seems
likely that there will be any considerable
revival of trade until the crop of 1898
comes into the market. Under existing
circumstances that is not likely to hap
pen for some time to come. Many of
our packers have, however, purchased
goods in the other tobacco growing states.
so they sre still in a position to meet the,
most urgent demands of customers. The,
sales that have been brought to our
notice are 45 cases sold by Walter S.
Bare; 60 cases bought by M. M. Fry; 100:
cases sold by @. I'll. Welchams & Co.; Is
cases bought by Isaac Stirk & Co., and,
13O cases sold by Schrader & Sons. In
all, 455 cases. For the corresponding
week of last year the sales were 820cs.
There is still some of last years goods,
unsold, and every now and then packer
sallies out into the country to secure a,
few crops. The packing houses are
about done, except where belated crops
are sent in or where damaged goods are
being overhauled, so the trade is pretty
quiet.
The weather has grown quite warm,
and the seed beds are coming along very
fast. 1t is rather dry, but water, with
stimulating mixture, will easily over.

Connecticut Valley.

Every effort of our tobacco growers
seem to be concentrated upon getting
everything prepared for the culture Of
the coming crop. The season is late, andi
of course it makes busy hands to keep
things moving. Plants have to be care
fully cared for, and kept constantly
growing. The water applied should if
needful be properly fertilized. 1t more
quickly affects the growing plants if the
fertilizer is rendered soluble in the water
which we use on the seed beds The
plants are coming forward slowly and
can't be forced along until they obtain
some size. The water should be slightly
warm rather than ice cold. If warmed
the benefits are the same as a good warm
rain on grass. For the last two weeks
before transplanting constant attention
at the beds is needful.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Tobacco beds here in Hinsdale are
made and the growers are looking sharp
to see the tiny plants show themselves.
Most of the growers use cloth to cover
the beds. There will be about the same
acreage as last year. There are only two
small lots of old tobacco left in town, SO
far as | know" Whately: "Prepara-
tions for the coming crop are actively
pushed. The plant beds now show up
with numerous plants. The weather has
been little too cold to promote rapid
growth. Considerable additional shed
room will be had. The work of asserting
is finished" Amherst: 'There will be
an increase in the acreage this year.
necessitating the building of several
curing barns. Plants are now to- be seen
on the beds, where glass covering is
used" Northampton: about the
usual acreage will be set to tobacco this
season. Plants in the open beds can't
grow until it is warmer than now
