DIVERTED FROM THE FARM,
English Energy l. Being Trnnsfcrre /.
from the Country to the Large
Cities.

England in the seventeenth century
was an agricultural country, and,
broadly speaking. that condition con-
tInued throughout the greater part of
the eighteenth century. As between
the two centuries, however. there was
one great difference. that while in the
seventeenth century agriculture pro-
sreSSed very slowly in the eighteenth
century it made immense strides.
Throughout the greater part of the
eighteenth century agriculture was
fashionable. Noblemen We'd with one
another in making agricultural experi-
ments and in improving their estates.
They thought more about introducing
new root crops and new grasses or i'm
proving the breed of some sheep and
cattle than they did about the amuse.
ments of the London season. At the
same time large areas of land that had
been previously cultivated on the semi
communistic and wasteful "open field"
system were inclosed and divided into
separate farms. The other important
developments of the eighteenth CEN
tury may most fairy be regarded as n
preparation for the century to come.
says the London Graphic.
toward the latter end of the century
several of the machines which were to
reVoIutionize the textile industries of
the world were invented in rapid sue
ceSslon, but it was only gradually that
they We're brought into use. Toward
the END OF the same century began the
great improvement of highways and
the construction of canals. But in the
case OF each of these brilliant develop
ments the greater part of the profit
accrued to the century that succeeded.
AT the beginning of the nineteenth
century England was still an agricul-
'ural country, still frequent seller
and rare buyer of wheat-and she
was only just beginning to utilize the
marvellous inventions of Arkwright and
watt, the engineering triumphs of Tel
ford and the immense stores of mineral
wealth buried beneath her soil. If we
turn back to contemporary estimates
OF the wealth of the country at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century we
hnd the first point considered is the
rent of the agricultural land. To-day
II would be one of the last.

Cuba to he Resurxexed.

In response to the frequent appeals
from navigators and captains of ports
and special request of Gen. Wood,
the United States navy department
will soon commence complete geo
detical survey of the Cuban coast and
of the waters for radius of several
meters. AS an example of the utter
unreliability of the Spanish chart, the
Isle of Pines is seven miles out of the
course represented by it. There are
other errors equally surprising and
navigation near the coast is foolhardy
without a competent pilot. 1t is
thought that it will require three
years to thoroughly resurvey the
Cuban coast and Chicago

Siberia n Land of Churches.

The three great luxuries in Siberia
are churches, theaters and museums.
Even the smaller villages can usually
be sighted from afar by means of the
white walls and the towering dome
shaped cupolas of their churches.
These are all amply supplied with bells,
whose rich tones roll in majestic har-
mony over distant hill and vale and
break the monotony of the peasants

highly ornamented with paintings, and
they are presided over by married
priests, who take deep and genuine

Curious Clock Movement.

One of the novelties of the horolog-
ical section of the Paris exposition
is a clock, represented to be perpet-
ual motion clock, but which is actual
ly operated by means of small steel
balls which were allowed to fall on a
wheel. There are a large number Of
these balls, and the winding up" is
accomplished by simply taking the
balls once week from the bottom
of the clock, where they have accu-
mulated, and placing them in re-
ceptacle at the top of the clock.-Chi-

FEELING IN WASHINGTON.

Washington, July S.-A slightly more hopeful feeling for the safety of the legationers in Pekin is apparent in of ficial circles tonight. The hope is not founded on any official dispatches which have reached the state depart ment; 'as- no thing ahas been received during the day from the consular rep resentatives of the United States in China. Cumulative statements, how ever which have been printed from various portions of the empire report ing the diplomatic corps, with the ex- ception of the German minister, as safe up to a certain specified time. to- gether with the absence of any cor roborativa proof of their murder. is partially responsible for the slight hope which prevails that the ministers are yet alive. Statements purporting to come from Sir Robert Hart. English inspector of customs. are regarded as the best information which has bean received. and while showing that the conditions were desperate, the dis patches have not been entirely with out hope.

DEATH OF W. B. CURTIS.
Well Known Architects Body Found
 On Mount Washington

Fabyans, N. H., July S.-The first fa- tality on Mount Washington in ten years was the result of the terrible storm last Saturday, when w. B. Cur tis, S3 years old, and Allan Ormsbee, about 30 years of age, both of New York. and both experienced athletes. lost their lives on the Crawford bridge path. 7-
 Their bodies were found today by the members of the Appalachian Mountain club, now at the summit for their an- nual field meeting, and will be prepared for transportation to New York. MT. Curtis was the pathfinder for the Fresh Air club, which annually holds a three weeks outing in the Green mountains, and it was to prepare a route for their trip that he made the ascent of Mount Washington. He was accompanied by Allen Ormsby. Fred Ilgen, A. Hennen and Professor Parker who sent the telegram.

 tained some gas, when a Second ave nue trolley car passed overhead. As the plough of the car running in the conduit jumped from one section of the feed rail to the other it caused several sparks. The sparks ignited the es- caping gas. The result was a muffied explosion and sheet of fire ran along the trench for a moment. It caught the men named. No arrests were made, as the police were satisfied that no blame could be attached to any person.

ADVANCE IN PRICE OF COAL
Believed to Indicate Still Higher
 Figures for the Winter.

Chicago. July S.-The advance in the price of the best grade of hard coal from s6 to S6.25, which has just gone into effect here, is unprecedented for the season, and is believed to indicate still higher prices for the winter. On July l, 1899, the price was $6, and three months later it had been raised to s7. One dealer says:
 ''The factories are operating to the extent of their capacity and are buying more coal than they have purchased for years at this season. Another thing is the foreign demand. The price of coal in England, Germany. and France has doubled during the last year, and our exports have been wonderfully heavy. The reduction of the miners hours from ten to eight is another cause for the advance.

swINDLER COMMITS SUICIDE.

Chicago, July S.-Detectives of ten cities have been baked in their r1rsuit of Hermann Kurth by the death of tine latter.
 kurth was accused of swindling the relatives of August Spies and Michael Schwab, convicted for connection with the anarchist riots in 1888. He is aI- legged to have obtained more than 5000 from them and then prevented pursuit until recently by representing that 1t was useless for them to complain to the police, as the officers could not assist anarchists.
 Last December the matter was brought to the attention of the authori- ties, and 5000 circulars were sent out from here. A message has been received that Kurth committed suicide in St. Paul. His home is said to be Portland, Oregon.

BIG DEMAND FOR MEAT

Chicago. July S.-A heavy increase in the force of government inspectors at the stock yards has been made neces- sary by a rush of orders in anticipa-
 tion of the enforcement, beginning Oc- tober ,, of the new German meat regu- lations, which are expected to restrict the sale and use of American meat and
 canned goods in the German empiI Q. Chicago packers are receiving each day orders from Germany for 100, 900 pounds of sausage and canned goods, and they asked Dr. O. E. Dyson. chief of the government bureau of animal industry, to put on twenty-five more microscop- ists, which was done. This makes the force 100 and enables the government officers to pass on 4,000 carcasses a day.

Porter, Parks and Jones to an eastern company, develop ment work is going ahead with a force of twelve men. This work is under the direction of Dr. Ruff of Sanford. who. is general manager for the com pany.
