COURSE NOT TO BE CHANGED.
Yacht Races for America's Cup VIII
Occur or Sandy Hook and Not
Newport as Suggested.

While there is talk in some quarters
of transferring the Americas cup
races to Newport, the New York Jour
nal states on the best authority that
there is not the slightest chance of the
races being held there. While the
course off Brenton's reef lightship is
good, it is not as good a one for fair
test as the Sandy Hook course.
Off Point Judith, Block island and
Vineyard sound four tides would have
to be encountered during a race,
against one or two at Sandy Hook.
For this, if no other reason, it would
be unfair to ask Sir Thomas Upton
to accept such handicap, and there is
not the slightest chance of his being
requested to do so.
So far as winds go, there is quite as
much chance of breeze off Sandy
Hook in August as at Newport. for
they have calm days there just as they
do at Sandy Hook

Rapid Progress Made in Protection

LeAIA =. ding Attention.

The important subject of coast de-
fense is t. Cne considered in the an
nuai report Of J. NJ. Wilson, chief
of engineers. Generally speaking, he
reports most gratifying progress in
the execution of the various projects
during the last fiscal year. Because
the report Included the fiscal year
only, the subject of the destruction of
the Galveston defenses by the Septem-
Der hurricane is left for treatment in
subsequent report.
Some of the points of interest treat
ed b. Gen. WilsoH are as follows: The
torpedo system has been under care
full study by expert officers in the
light of the experience gained during
the Spanish American war, but so far
only minor changes have been pro-
posed.
Up to the present 30 localities have
been selected for defense on the coast.
No formal projects were added to the
list during the past year, but prelim-
mary projects have been framed for
the defense of the entrance to Chesa-
peake bay, and the defense of several
other localities is under consideration.
Attention has been given to the sub
ject of coast defenses for Porto Rico
and the Hawaiian islands, and in view
of the Importance of these island
possessions Gen. Wilson says active
measures for their defense should be
deferred no longer. A detailed prof.
ect for the uefense of the harbor of
San Juan de Porto Rico involves an
estimated expenditure of $1,S00,00O.
Preliminary projects for Pearl harbor
and Honolulu are also already avail
able and ready for execution as soon
as congress shall appropriate the
funds.

mortars in place to offer an effective

irg projects contemplate the mount
ing of about 4s0 guns for seacoast de-
fense, or $50 rapid-fire guns and about
900 mortars, at an approximate total
cost of $50, 100000. Up to the present
time provision mas been made for the
emplacement of 300 heavy guns, 36s
rapid-fire guns and 372 mortars. The
armament placed during the war in
temporary emplacements will bt
transferred in time to permanent
works, but the temporary works will
be held in reserve for an emergency.
Attention is invited to the urgent
need for an increase of the artillery
arm of the service, which is now toe
small to take care of the costly and
complex defense works.

Belgian HareS.

The Belgian hare is a hardy little
animal and it is raised with even less
trouble and expense than poultry. The
average weight is from eight to ten
pounds and they live to be seven or
eight years of age. They mature in
ten months and for two or three years
afterward they are in their prime.
Their color sawhat is known as Rufus
red or golden, with black ticking on
the back. The ears of the thorough
lbreds must be laced with black and
the front feet red. There is no such
thing as wild Belgian hare. They are
of an affectionate disposition and very
clean. In fact, they will not thrive in
dirty, moist pens. What makes them
particularly advantageous to raise is
the absence of any sort of vermin or
disease. The only thing that they are
afflicted with is what is commonly
called "sniffles." 1t is a srt of cold,
brought on by getting their feet wet or
staying in damp coop. They thrive
best, it seems, in cold weather.
'The Belgian hare will eventually
become in America the poor mans
food. Owing to their scarcity now
they are worth from 20 to 80 cents per
pound, but within few years, owing
to their extensive propagation, the
price will certainly fall to or cents.
OF ccu-ge, l speak now of the ordinary,
common stock. There will always be
high grade animals that will command
fancy price AS an article of food 1t
is surpassed by nothing. The meat is
white like the breast of a chicken but
much finer grained and sweeter; more
easily dlgested. 1t is frequently the
case that convalescents who can re-
tain nothing on their stomachs will
enjoy the meat of the Belgian hare and
readily digest it,"
The business so far has proved very
profitable in this country. A woman
in Los Angeles paid off the mortgage
on her parents home by the Belgian
hares she raised and sold and many
astonishing stories are told of clerks,
saleswomen, stenographers, etc, who
have laid aside their employments to
engage in this industry. 1t is urged
by the raisers of Belgian hares that
the fur of the animals will more than
offset in value the production of eggs
obtained by Iaisers of chickens and
they don't scratch up gardens and lii
ter up things. The business Is Pc
cliar one and its progress VIII be
watched with interest.

FEWER FARMERS AT ALBANY.

Although considerable majority of the
members of the New York Legislature
represent rural constituencies, and. al
though majority of the voters of New
York State derive their livelihood from
farms or from business connected with
farming. the term farmer. since IL became
coiloquial name for unsophisticated per-
sons. has not been popular for lawmakers.
Members of both branches of the Legisla-
ture were chosen this year. but only two
OF them in the senate and only fourteen in
the assembly. out of fifty members in the
upper and $50 in the lower branch, de-
scribed themselves as farmers. the other
members from rural districts selecting as
more appropriate other descriptions of
their vocation Among the occupations
given by such senator's -elect are these:
Dealer in real estate. dealer in land. mer-
camille business. and manager. Among
the occupations represented among the as
semblymen-eieet are: Creamery dealer,
real estate dealer. merchant, miller, pro-
duce dealer, viniculturist brick manufac-
turer, flour dealer, oil operator, lumber
dealer. and dairyman
The tendency Of legislation in New York
as elsewhere is to limit the amount of
legislation adopted for the benefit of far
mers and tc allot such matters to the care
ington the former Commissioner CT Agri-
culture is now the Secretary of Aericul-
ture, with a seat in the Cabinet. and is
the executive head of an independent de-
partment In New York. as in most other
States, there is Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, and he attends to many of the
matters which formerly were made sub
ject to the action of the Legislature. He
appoints directors of farmers institutes.
inspectors of cheese and dairy products,
chemists. sanitary experts, and prosecut-
ing attorneys, and within the limitations
established by the statute acts for the
farmers of the State.
The necessity of farmers as Representa-
tives In the Legislature is, therefore
minimized. Farmers. as a rule, do net
make good legislators. although the state
of New York has profited much in tire
past by some measures which have had
the solid support of farmer members.
The farmer, as a rule, is unable to draw
q bill in such shape that 1t may be adopt
ed by the Legislature without danger of
being declared unconstitutional. A farm
ers phrasing of penal regulations is often
vague and indefinite, and. as a result,
the bills offered in the Legislature for the
benefit of farmers are drawn either by
lawyers who have many farmer clients or
by paid counsel of agricultural or dairy
mems societies. These are some reasons
why fewer farmers appear in the Legisla-
ture now than formerly.

GOLD HoARDED BY MIsERs.
Millions in Yellow Coin Disappear
Annually From Circulation.

(From the London Daily Mail.)
The world is full of millions and mil
lions of long-lost sovereigns. A compe
tert authority has Just completed some
investigations which. he declares, show
that in three years the Bank OF England
has lost trace of no fewer than 10000. 900
golden coins Of the realm. This whole
sale disappearance Of the elusive sovereign
has been going on for years. river OF
gold has flowed increasingly from Thread
| needle Street to all parts Of the world, but
it has come back only as a tiny yellow
streamlet. What has become of the sur
plus in its wanderings? "Misers" is the
unpoetical explanation for a great part OF
this disappearance. There still exist in this
and other countries people who are un
business-like enough to hoard up gold and
keep it lying idle by them for the sole
pleasure Of knowing it is there, and oc-
casionally counting ii.
The people of India appear to be par
ticularly addicted to habit that is more
reminiscent of medieval times than of an
age when money is generally saved SO that
more can be made with il. IN the re-
gency of Bombay it is estimated that
1900 600 golden sovereigns are boarded.
If that is the record of Bombay alone,
what is the full tale for the whole coun-
try? China, too. absorbs a vast amount
of gold that never sees the light again.
As matter Of fact. while the whole world
is searching for and trying 10 acquire
gold, goodly part of it appears to be
engaged in the less thrilling pastime of
hiding 1t away.
Great Britain is not guiltless of this
commercial sin. Dotted all over the
kingdom are gr2veyards of gold which if
discovered and opened might restore to
circulation a vast amount of wealth at
present absolutely useless. At spot
about two miles from Herefordshire
Beacon a treasure chest is recorded in
the local history as having been buried
by a great family once resident in the
district. But the money cannot be found.
There is similar record in connection

branch of the Prestwich family. Some
