American Beef in Scotland.

Owing to the scarcity of beef cattle
and fat sheep in the country, and the
consequent rise in price, very large sup
plies of American beef are finding their
way all over the country. Edinburgh
butchers, who, as a rule, decidedly pre-
fer the home article, have of late been
forced to procure supplies from Liver
pool and Glasgow of port-killed States
beef In addition. the chilled beef
agencies in the city have been selling
large quantities Of American-killed
beef A Chicago company is doing a
very considerable trade in a high class
grade of beef. They have already es-
tablished forty agencies in the United
Kingdom. The supplies coming into
Edinburgh for last week are phenom-
email, bearing In mind always that this
city has been in the past particularly
independent Of foreign supplies of beef
and mutton. Upward of 400 quarters
of chilled beef have gone into consump-

viz, 200 sides port-killed. all of Ameri-
can origin. Supplies Of frozen mutton
continue about an average of $50 car

good investment for $3.50. In fact,
Brown has figured out that the profit
from that little mill during three pretty
tough times of drought exceeds that of
the whole farm in three ordinary sea-
sons.
The regulation jumbo mill is set per-
manently to face the north or south
and thus catch the force of the prevail
ing winds. But when the winds blow
from another direction these mills
would be of no use, so this difficulty Is
overcome by putting up universal
jumbos, which are set on.a screw, and
which will turn with the wind in any
quarter. Sometimes, too, jumbos are
set up In pairs, quartering the compass,
and with such an inexpensive machine

MARvELs OF INDIAN MAGiCIANS
Wonderful Feat of Which Lord Lytton
Was a Witness.

The following story of Indian magic
was told me by the person to whom it
was told by the late Lord Lytton. l
gave 1t in my own words, for the ex-
cellent though humiliating reason that
| have mislaid the MSS. When in
India Lord Lytton often sought out
coniurers, but never saw any but the
usual feats, such as the mango tree
trick and the basket trick. The method
in each case is known, or, at all events,
plausible explanations have been given
by Mr.. Maskelyne and other experts.
on one occasion Lord Lytton liked
something in the looks of the conjurer
who was performing in the open space
before his house. After the ordinary
exhibition his lordship asked the magi-
can il he could not do something more
out Of the common way.
The man said he would try. and ask
ed for ring. which Lord Lytton gave
him. He then requested an officer to
take in either hand handful Of seeds
one sort was sesame. The name Of
the other sort my informant did not
know. Holding these seeds, and hav-
ing the ring between his finger and
thumb the officer was to go to a well
in the corner of the compound. He
was to dispose Of the seeds In certain
way-I think on the low wall around
the well, into the depths of which he
was to throw the ring. All this was
done, and then the mage asked Lord
Lytton where he would like the ring to
reappear. He answered "in his dis
patch box" of which the key was at
tached to his watch chain, or at all
events he had it with him on the spot
The dispatch box was brought out,
Lord Lytton opened 1t and there was
the ring. This trick would be easy If
the British officer was a confederate of
the juggler's, and IL he possessed q
duplicate key to the dispatch box. In
that case he would not throw the ring
into the well, but would take 1t into the
house, open the box and insert the ring
But this explanation involves enormous
improbabilities, while 1t is unlikely,
again, that the conjurer managed to
insert duplicate ring into the dispatch
box beforehand. Lord Lytton then
asked the juggler IL he could repeat the
trick. He answered In the affirmative,
and lady lent another ring. Another
officer took 1t, with the seeds, as before.
and dropped the ring into the well. The
countenance of the Juggler altered In
the pause which followed. Something,
he said. had gone wrong and he seemed
agitated. Turning to the second officer,
he asked: "Did you arrange the seeds
as babe your NO." said the officer,

Lightning Kills Fish.

The Pennsylvania Fish Commission
had heard tales that the brown trout
with which some of the streams of the
State were stocked were particularly
susceptible to destruction from light
ming, so they began an investigation
and they now announce that the stories
are true. 1t is the habit of the brown
trout to swim close to the bottom Of
the stream it frequents, and though he
is not literally struck by lightning, the
electricity is conducted TO the bottom
of the streams which have rocks con-
tanning a considerable amount of iron
in them, and so reaches and kills the
trout, while 1t does not affect the fish
that swim higher in the water.

Cost of Schools in Cities.

A shortage in the school fund In st.
Paul has caused the superintendent OF
the school system in that city to make
comparison of the cost per pupil with
the similar cost in fourteen other cities.
On the basis of the figures of attend
ance the cost in st. Paul is 500 0S. Only
two other cities show a smaller cost
Kansas City, where the school year is
only nine months long and where the
cost is S20.07, and Milwaukee, where
the salary account alone makes the
cost $21.S7. Several cities run from $24
to $2S while the cost amounts to $3.50
in Pittsburg and to S40.77 in Denver.
The eastern cities have a much higher
rate than those in the west, Denver ex-
cepted, and there the cost of labor and
fuel Is excessive. The figures given
have to do with the entire school sys-
tenn, but the difference is wider when
high schools alone are considered.
Boston, with its suburbs, has twelve
high schools, for which 1t pays a per
capita rate of $S5.40; on a salary basis
alone it amounts to $50. 10. In St Paul
the total per capita cost in high schools
on the basis of average daily attendance
is S44.36, and out of this $34.91 is ex-
pended for teachers salaries.-Buffalo

who went to the rescue OF the ship

sword by the state Of Maryland as a re-
suit Of 1t. He was one of the leading
party at Honolulu when the cruiser
Boston sent troops there to support

1t was agreed that nothing should be
said either to Young or to Smith, but
it was arranged that this group of naval
officers should bring them together and
quietly allow them to get started on
some topic. The arrangements were
all made. The men met casually. A
drink or two was passed around and
some topic introduced with which both
Young and Smith were familiar. The
others dropped out. leaned back in their
chairs, and smoked their cigars, while
Smith and Young talked against each

The battleax mill gets its name from
its resemblance in the arms and the
blade to the AK. Like the jumbo, it us
ually is set In north and south posi-
ton, and as the prevailing winds of
Nebraska are from these points of the
compass, 1t Is seldom that these mills
cannot be used. The axis of this mill

Island. Fred Mathiesen built mill. the
driving parts Of which were taken from
an old self binder. 1t waters his stock,
and yet the cost was under So.
By putting a rudder on a mill the
arms can be made to swing around and
stand In the wind. and by putting
mill within a tower instead of upon 1t,
the chance Of destruction through be-
ing blown down by the high winds is
lessened greatly. One of the queerest
mills Is that of a farmer named BOer-
son, who lives near Grand Island. He
took the sprocket wheel and fly wheel
Of a cornsheller and at cost of 50 put
together a contrivance that pumps
enough water for sixty head of cattle.
Another odd and ingenious bit of
mechanism is reconstructed aermotor
that cost practically nothing, yet
pumps for the house, lawn, garden and
a small fruit orchard, bringing up 270
gallons of water an hour in a fifteen
and one-half mile wind. Then there Is
the "toy" water mill Of A. G. Walker,
a civil engineer, which pumps 6,4S0 gal
Ions of water in twenty-four hours.
Near Kearney was an abandoned mill
and storage reservoir. The mill was
fixed at slight cost, bits of broken-up
boxes were nailed to the arms and the
whole thing worked as well as it did in
its better days.
y To shop-made mills and even to the
better class of homemade can be at
tached wires, by which the power can
be transmitted several hundred feet to
where it is needed. Sometimes the mill
is set at the house, and its energy is di-
rected so that it will run the pump at
the barn-in fact, the Nebraska farm

contrivances are endless.

J. l.. Browns mill, which Is on the

Part Of Picturesque italian City slid
t~ Into the Sea.
In a peculiar manner death came to
q number OF people at the famous tour
list resort OF Amalfi, an Italian city sit
uated on the Gulf OF Salerno, southeast
Of Naples. Owing to the action of the
water undermining the rock upon
which Amalfi stands portion of the
place slipped into the sea. taking with
1t two hotels, a Capuchin monastery
and several villas, and crushing under
its enormous weight four vessels, the
crews Of which fortunately escaped.
The number of dead was at first believ-
ed to be very large, but, marvellous as
1t may seem. only ten persons lost their
lives. The monastery contained many
monks and the hotels many guests, and
all Of these. together with the occu-
pants Of the villas, were at first sup
posed to be lost. The mass of earth
and rock which slipped into the sea is
estimated at $4,000 cubic yards and the
shock of its rending and crashing into
the water shook the principally for
miles around. The hotels destroyed are
the Cappucinni and the Santa Calerina.
Amalfi, the scene Of this disaster, is
a city of 1000 souls and has a great
antiquity. 1t took its origin in the
fourth century, though its name did
not merit the historians notice until
200 years afterward. 1t then became
