The American consul general at Cape
Town made an interesting report to
the government at
SS""o''s Washington few
so"'h "'r'e"' days ago of his OBJ
servations taken on journey through
the districts of South Africa that have
been ravaged by war. He says:
During my recent trip through the
Orange River colony and the South
African republic, my attention was
called to the destruction of wire fenc-
ing. For hundreds of miles the fences
are down and twisted so badly that
they cannot be used again. The wood
en- posts have all been burned for cook.
ing purposes and warmth, and, as there
is but little wood in this country, iron
posts must be substituted. The gov
ernment must fence anew along the
lines of railways and the farmers in
the interior must fence also. Flowing
was in progress, but the area is limited
as compared with former years, and,
therefore, no great demand for agri-
cultural implements may be expect
ed, although many have been allowed
| to rust and go to ruin. The market for
cereals and products of the soil con-
| tinue to be large. By March, 1901.
renewal of the demand for farming ma
chinery may be looked for. Meat and
| live stock will continue to be imported.
There was only three days supply of
fresh meat in johannesburg when l
left there. Although the reoccupation
of johannesburg by the mining and
| business population can hardly be eX-
pected for at least three months, prep
arations are being made at the sea-
ports. much machinery and goods are
stored, awaiting the time of shipment.
and orders are being placed abroad.
The Beers who have returned TO their
homes are desirous of getting to work,
but several months must elapse be-
fore things settle down to a normal
basis.
THE imperial government is build
ing railways from Pretoria and Johan-
nesburg to the Orange River colony
border, and engines and cars will be
needed. Over 1000 freight cars have
been recently ordered by the Cape
colonial railways. A new railway is
being built from Harrismith, in Cape
Colony, to connect with the Orange
River Colony railway, so that there
will be two competing lines from the
seaports in Cape Colony and Natal to
johannesburg, breaking the monop-
oily of the Netherlands railway in the
South African republic, with its GOC
per cent. profit per year. The new rail-
ways will provide sidings for all the
mines in Johannesburg, these being
very much needed. The bridges over
streams and culverts have been de-
stroyed. with few exceptions, and tenn
porary structures erected, and devia,
tions of tracks to reach the lower lev
els were made. AS a result, demand
for bridge material, such as girders
etc, may be expected. Electric an6
telegraphic materials and supplies will
also be wanted. Coal machinery ant
household and house-building supplies
will be needed.
The supply of gold having been ex
hausted, the resumption of mining
will bring improvement in every de
partment of trade. New enterprise
will spring up and orders to the valu,
of millions of pounds sterling will b,
placed in the next two years"

The German Colonial association re
Gently sent petition to the imperial
chancellor request
N"'"" ing that every
""" 4" means be used to
introduce cotton growing into the
different German colonies where cli-
mate and soil would be favorable to
the same.
If, for some reason, Germany should
be cut off for one year from her cot
ton supply, there would be a crisis
of incalculable consequences.
OF the nations on the continent,
Germany takes the lead in cotton con-
sumption with S71, 100000; that of
France and Russia together equals
$95, zoo, 600.
Germany, with the exception of
about $4,000 worth of cotton grown
in one little colony, is entirely depend
ent for this commodity upon the
United States and England. This ac-
counts for her desire to produce her
own cotton. Germany. France and
England have never forgotten the
years of 1s6O-62. when their cotton
supply was cut off by the blockade of
the southern states.
Again, there is always tendency
on the part of cotton industries to
gravitate toward the centers of pro-
duction. as the following figures
showing the increase of cotton indus
try from 1885 to 1895, prove:
Per cent

| United States. .........................2t
East lndies. ....'.....'.'..''.''.'''f
The real reason of the shifting oi
cotton mills and manufactures to the
point of production is the money and
time saved in transportation, and this
is the problem which confronts the
German empire to-day.

B. F. Brandt, an economic expert of
Russia, who for some years past, at
the direction of the
Russian ministry of
finance, has carried
on scientific Investigations of that en-
pire's natural resources, has lately pub
lished book treating of the metal
lurgic and coal industries of Russia,
which at present are mainly situated
in the south. He says:
Previous to 1885, when the first mining en-
terprise conducted by foreigners was es
tablished, all Russian attempts to exploit
the iron ore deposits had proven failures.
Since 1885. many foreign mining COM
panies In rapid succession have begun OPP
erations on a very extensive scale. At
present, II large foundries are success
fully at work in southern Russia. only four
of which are owned by Russians. In the
same section 20 extensive establishments
are working up iron; these have been or
ganized and are owned by foreigners. Ow-
ing to this influx of outside capital and busi-
ness energy, the iron foundry industry has
increased fivefold during the last decade.
Quite different is the situation in the
Ural district. where there Is hardly any
foreign capital engaged in mining opera
tions. though this region has immense de-
posits of the best quality metals and Is rich
in surface coal.
A government commission sent to that
region some time ago to study the cause
of this inertness attributes II to the lack
of suitable transportation methods between
the iron and coal districts. The commission
recommends that the government give up
it's mining system TO private companies,
which are more apt to conduct mining ac-
cording to modern and improved systems.
The above statement has already in
duced foreign promoters to erect a
number of new blasting furnaces and
| foundries in the Ural district, and it
| is estimated that next years produc-
tion of foundry iron will reach 92s,OoO
tons of 1000 each.
Belgium almost monopolizes the min
ing enterprises which foreigners own
and operate in Russia. Belgian capital,
amounting to over $57, 900, 900 is invest
ed in 43 mining and metallurgical com
panies operating in Russia.

Spain and France are using about
the same area for growing cereals,
and yet there is
an enormous diff
spun" ference bet W e n
the harvests yielded by these two
countries. The scarcity of water in
Spain accounts for this great differ
ence in fertility. The rainfall is very
unevenly distributed over the whole
peninsula. In the Cantabrian region
it will average as high as 1874 inches,
while the central table-land and the
southern districts often have hardly
1858 inches in n year. There being
sufficient river water in Spain, the
government is considering the estab-
lishment of a regular irrigating sys-
TEN. In the valleys of the rivers Ebro
and Taio, the watered country yields
12 times as much fruit as the dry.
There are very large sections in Spain
which need irrigation. The valley of
the river Ebro, for instance, is pro-
vided with sufficient reservoirs and
canals to allow of 100000 acres being
flooded, while in the valleys of the
Guadalquivir, Quadiana and Tajo riv-
ers hardly $4,000 acres in all can be
watered. By royal decree, the coun-
try has been divided into seven dis
tricts, in each of which the prepara-
| tory work has been commenced. The
general plan for the construction of
reservoirs and canals will probably
be finished before the 31st of Decem-
ber, 1900, and will, it is hoped, become
a law in the very near future.

A member of the board of general
directors of the Royal Saxon rail
ways has invented
o"hS"p'o" new device for
Locomotive the consumpt n
of smoke given off by locomotives.
He claims that it is almost perfect,
whether the locomotive is moving or
standing still. Certain technical pa
pers say that this device has been
added to four locomotives in Chem
nitz. and the engineers state that
they are much pleased Herewith. A
locomotive using this new invention
and being worked to it's utmost ca
pacity saved in one month 2s,6oo
pounds of coal. To equip locomotive
with the device costs about $25. 1t
can be applied to stationary engines.

In parts of Germany, considerable
attention is being paid to electrical
appliances that can
Iecc' %" be used on the
German Farms farm. Near Och
senfurt, in Bavaria, a company
composed of landowners and small
farmers, has been organized for
the establishment of an electrical
system for use on their farms and in
villages. The power is to be gener-
ated BY steam and water and the cur
rent to be distributed from a central
station to the places at which it is
wanted. Substations are to be es-
tablished at given points, with the
necessary apparatus for connecting
with the farm or other machinery
and also for lighting purposes in the
houses, offices, roads and village
streets.
