Consul Frederick w. Hossfeli thinks
there is a splendid opportunity to in
crease the volume Of sulphate of cop
per exported from the United States
to Greece, where there is big demand
for it. It is estimated that from 1000
to 5000 tons are used annually by the
currant growers. The wholesale cur
rant trade of Greece is practically in
the hands Of banks and commercial
syndicates, and they have arranged to
import sulphate of copper In large
quantities and to sell it to the farmers
at cost, in order to encourage the
growers to spray their vines. Nearly
all the importations have so far been
from Great Britain, but it is the opin-
ion OF the consul that the United
States could easily secure goodly
portion of the trade. There is no tar
liz on the commodity.

A scientific problem Of much inter-
est will confront the engineers OF the
Transvaal gold mines when the war
between the English and the Beers
is over, and that is the depth to which
shafts will be sunk in search of gold
bearing veins. Some of the shafts al
ready opened will descend 1000 to 5000
feet, but it is thought by some Of the
engineers that a depth of $4,000 feet
will be reached in other cases. The
temperature at that depth will be
about 100 degrees, the warmest, per-
haps, at which men can work, but the
suggestion has been made that a still
greater depth may be found pracu-
cable If means be devised for cooling
the air.

1t is we'll known that many insects
bear a close resemblance to leaves,
twigs and other things, AMI there is
no doubt that this is for their protec-
ton against, or their concealment
from, their enemies. One of the most
remarkable cases of this kind was re-
Gently made known to the Entomologi-
cal Society of London. 1t is that OF a
spider that lives in the rocks near
Cannes. A certain kind of moths in
habit the rocks also, and their cases
are to be found all about. 1t was no
ticed that the spider, when at rest,
looked exactly like one of the moth
cases.

THE ICE HARVEST.
Prospect Rosy Tor the Ice Industry on the
kennebec River.

Tho season just closing Will leave abou;
GnWp tons of ice in the ice houses along
The kennebec river There has been
something over 3c0.Wo tons shipped. this
season 1t is probable that there will b.
no more shipments other than about :ohJ
tons which will go in three schooner,,
within the next few days. Two of thes
vessels are already at the Green's Ledge-
houses and the other is due there.
The Consolidated Ice Co. Will cut a:
least 10000 tons the present season. The
amount may reach 500.,D1 tons or even
more. The larger amount will come as I,
result of the failure Of the crop on tn
Hudson The best freeze possible upon
the latter river. however. VIII not reduce
the amount below 100000 tons according
to the assurances held oIt 10y George n.
Lawrence. agent for the Consolidated.
There are the best of prospects for la
borers on the river the present season
The scarcity OF held to go into the woods
and the good prices paid by limbermcn
has reduced the number OF available la
borers considerably The prospects are
that all who desire will be able to find
employment in the ice industry. Th,'
prices Daid will be approximately the
same as paid the past season.
