A eenealoev has come from the

A Senealogy has come from the
pen of an Iowa man. Hon. H. f.
Andrews, OF Extra. 1t is said to be
among the first publications of it's
kind produced in the State as Iowa
has, up to this time, been too young
and too much absorbed for genoa
logical research. The book gives
the genealogy of the descendants of
Captain Giles Hamlin, who settled
in Middletown, Connecticut, about
1854. 1t is a book of four hundred
and eighty pages, we'll illustrated
and with a copious index of names
reaching thlrty-eight hundred and
slxty-forr in number. 1t shows the
inter-marriage with and pedigrees
OF the first families of Connecticut
and a goodly portion of the people
with whom the work deals settled
IN Iowa. Mr.. Andrews, who may be
regarded as a pioneer IN genealog-
zeal work in Iowa, has devoted thir.
" years to genealogical research of
the old American families, has had
two other such works issued and is
now looked upon as n of the best
writers on the subject in the west.
He was a member of the Iowa Ser
ate in 1892 and 1894 and became
known as an earnest advocate of the
establishment of a State Historical
Department. Mr.. Andrews believes
there is a great and attractive field
for genealogical work in Iowa and
is confident that other writer's will
add to the records of the people of
this State, many of whom descend
ed from the first families of New
England. Genealogy he regards as
one Of the units of history and oe-
theological work will be encouraged
by the State Historical Department..

Last Friday evening Mrs. P. M.
Christensen, wife of the city Jewell
err, was decoyed from her home, up
in The Heights, over to that of a
neighbor and while she was gone a
dray backed up to the back door,
n of the finest organs that ever
came to Extra was unloaded there
from and placed in position in the
parlor of their cozy little dwelling.
When all was in readiness Peter
went Over and told her that she
could come home now. When the
good lady had crossed the thresh-
old and caught sighto of that elegant
present her husband had made her
all she could do was to throw up
her hands. drop her lower jaw and
stand and gaze in amazement. It's
a pretty gift, and such happy little
surprises 90 a long way toward
making life's pathway the brighter.
Work on the army post will begin
this week. Captain Milton b. Tur-
ney, Quartermaster and Superinten-
tendent of building, has notified
Doctor Lewis Schooler, chairman of
the Des Moines Army Post Commit
tee that he would arrive in Des
Moines on or about Friday, July II,
and begin the surveys for the con
struction of the post at once. G. F.
Richards, of Massillon, Ohio, who
has been appointed foreman of the
building at the post, will arrive at
the same time with Captain Turner.
The preliminary work of laying
out the post ought not to take long
said Doctor Schooler, Saturday.
The engineers will make a topo-
graphical survey of the land and
send 1T in to the department at
Washington. With that survey in
hand the workmen in the depart
inent will lay out the locations of
the various buildings for the post.
1t will take no time to make the
plans for the buildings as the de-
partment already has plans for the
buildings in general, as they are
erected at all the posts, and about
all there is to do is to select the de-
signs with regard to their fitness
for the location here, as shown by
the survey. The plans will soon get
back to Des Moines and then the
dirt will begin to fly at Fort Des
Moines and l expect to see some
thing tangible in the way Of prepa-
rations for the post by the time l
get back from my European trip
which will be about the middle OF
August."-Sunday State Register.

where Vegetables Are Planted. Tended
and Gathered by Celestials.
There is one kind of farm In New
York that is not at all common. that
has never existed In any other city, so
far as I know. in ancient or modern
times. 1t is situated, oddly enough.
in about the centre of the 317 square
miles Of New York-so well as the cen
ire Of a boat-shaped area can be To-
Gated.
Cross Thirty-fourth street ferry to
Long Island City, which really does
not smell so bad as certain of our poets
would have us believe; take the car
marked "Steinway," and ride for
fifteen or twenty minutes out through
dreary city edge, past small, implanted
manufactures, squalid tenements, dir
ty back yards and sad vacant lots that
serve as the last resting place for de-
cayed trucks and overworked wagons.
Soon after passing tumble-down
windmill, which looks like historic old
relic, on q hilltop, but which was built
in 1867 and tumbled down only last
year, the Steinway silk Mills viii be
reached (they can be distinguished
by the long low wings of the building
covered with windows like hothouse).
Leave the car here and strike of to
the left, down a lane which viii soon

or so from the highway will be seen
first of the old, paper-covGred houses

earn their living by filling the soil Of

At short distances are the other huts

queer gourds hanging out in front to

about, and large baskets and mattings
all clearly from China; they are as
different from what could be bought
on the neighboring avenue as the
farms and farmers themselves are diff
ferent from most Long Island farms
and farmers. Out in the fields, which
are titled in the Oriental way, utlliz-
ing every inch Of ground clean up to
the fence, and laid out with even divi
sions at regular intervals, like rice
fields, the farmers themselves may be
seen, working with Chinese nipple

their straw hats, while the Western
world wags on in it's own way al
around them. This is less than five

Peculiarities of Eclipse.

The solar eclipse Of May, 1900, cast
a partial shadow, or penumbra, over
n belt about 5000 miles wide, and the
shadow moved at the rate of some
what more than 1000 miles On hour.
H. Helm Clayton has made sum-
mary Of the observations, showing
that the umbra, or small total shadow
was followed at distance of 500 miles
by a cold area. In which the fall of
temperature was over eighty degrees
Fahrenheit. A cyclone-that is, o
great rotating wind storm and not a
violent tornadO--was quickly de-
veloped, moved with the eclipse and
was rapidly dissipated. The anti
cyclonic ring had a width Of 1000
miles. This is a true cold-air cyclone,
and 1t has suggested that like at
mospheric disturbance must be pro-
duced by the shadow Of night, with
a hot-air cyclone by the heat of day,
explaining the double dlurnal Varia-
lions Of barometric pressure.

WILL SIGN NOTE.
Chinese PlenipOtentiaries Receive
Unexpected Instructions from
the Emperor.

Picking, Dec. 31.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries have been unexpectedly
ordered to sign the preliminary joint
note, and have notified the foreign en-
voys to that effect. The Chinese them
selves were greatly astonished at re-
ceiving the imperial instructions.
Neither Ii Hung Chang nor Prince
Ching have expected success in per-
suading the court under ten DAYS.
The emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to en-
deavor to get the best terms possible,
particularly in the matter of limiting
the number of the legation guards and
also as to the places where these are
to be located. The plenipotentiaries
are instructed to endeavor to limit
the number of army posts along the
line of railway to as few as possible,
and finally to request the powers not
to destroy the forts, but merely to
disarm them.
Washington, Jan. .3.-Following at
an interval of one day close upon his
announcement that the Chinese en-
peror had decreed the acceptance OF
the Picking agreement, Minister Con-
ger cabled the state department, un-
