The peculiar climatic conditions Of
the past summer favored the man who
planted poor seed and planted his corn
late. Because he wins out this year it
is no reason why his example should
be followed, as he would fail nine years
out of ten.

We feel safe in predicting that there
will be no corn burned for fuel in any
part Of the west the coming winter.
And yet in 1896 corn at 10 cents a
bushel was a cheaper fuel than soft
coal at Sc per ton.

For the months Of August and Sep
TENDER there is nothing that will make
pork so cheaply and so rapidly as a
field of rape and sweet corn, supple
mented with a ration of skimmilk for
the pigs. This is one of the really good
things which every man growing hogs
should know and carry into practice

1t may be that the best place to look
for seed for next years crop Of corn
will be in the cribs containing what is
left of the 1900 crop; but be it there
or in the fields of this year, every man
should look sharp for his seed corn for
next year.

TRAMP'S ESCAPE.
Host Remarkable Thing That Has
Occurred in an Ell = gineer's TNyen-
ty Years Experience.

John Smith, a well-known Illinois
Central passenger engineer, relates a
remarkable story about man whom
he found asleep on the ties of a rail
road track a few nights ago.
Mr.. Smith was bringing into Chi
cago the Fish special, occupied by Pres.
ident Stuyvesant Fish and other off
cials of the road, returning from gen
eral inspection of the line, when, a bout
a mile north of Ashkum, he saw dim
ly outlined some unknown bject, APP
parently sitting on the rails. The
engineer supposed it was a man. and
at once applied the emergency brake,
says the Chicago Tribune.
The engine had nearly passed the
object when it stopped. Descending
from the cab, Mr.. Smith found a mat
soundly sleeping. He was sitting
with his back to the rails, and so close
struck the oil caps of the engine had he
arisen.
The noise made by the approaching
locomotive had not awakened the man.
and he was not aware of his danger
until the engineer grasped his shou,
der and roughly shook him.
Let me alone. 'Tain't time to get
up" he protested, drowsily
Had the man raised his head an inch
when the engine approached he would
have been killed.
1t was the most remarkable thing
that has occurred during the en-
gineer's 25 years experience.
Engineer Smith the next night ran
over and killed an unknown colored
man at Chebanse. the second station
from Ashkum. The colored man ac.
cidentally stepped in front of the To-
cOmOtiNe.
Passaic City record., 1901-06-22
DEAF MUTES AT THE PLAY.
More of the Unfortunates Than Usual
at the Theater During the
Past Season.

"One curious phase of the theatric-
al business of the past season has
been the number of deaf mutes in the
audiences" said the head usher of
New York theater. For several
years a good many deaf mutes have
been attending performances of pam
Dramas, spectacular plays and high
ly spiced melodramas, but this year
they seem to have declared them
selves in favor of high art, and have
patronized dramas that are short on
action, but long on talk. Deaf mutes
generally attend the theater in a
party. We have had them come to
our house in winter in squads of 20
or 80. Mute auditors of play al
ways buy good seats. Being deprived
of enjoyment through one of their
senses, they have to make up for the
loss by catering 10 the sense of Sight
and they choose seats that give a
clear view of the stage. Another
thing noticeable about them is the
enthusiasm with which they applaud.
''At first blush it might seem strange
to see so many of the deaf and dumb
hoclling to the theater, but they are
really but little worse off than the av-
erage American who goes to see play
in foreign tongue. The American
hears, but as he is unable to under
stand two words of the dialogue he
has to depend upon his eyes for his
knowledge of the action, so in that re-
spect he and the mutes are quits"

ELECTRICITY AT WORK.

San Francisc S ar est suburb, Oak
land, obtains 80 electric force from
a stream $50 s..ies away. Experience
proves that long-distance transmits
sion of electric power is a success in
every way.
Forty thousand volts were success
fully transmit ed over 140 miles with
a loss of not over five per cent. from
The power plant on the Yubs river
and used in propelling the electric
railway cars in the city of Oakland,
Cal.
A self-genera ing electric light buoy
off Bunsum. on the North sea, is so
sensitive AID so eff sent that the
slightest motion OF the waves oper-
ates it. I is automatic light has been
sufficiently tested to predict its gen
eral use.
A German inventor has devised cleo
trio eyeglasses or spectacles. The
frames are made of alternate layers
of zinc and copper, which being mois-
tened with a dilute acid gives an cleo
tric current which is claimed to re-
store dimmed vision.
A progressive if not overhonest
New Jersey farmer tapped the feeder
of trolley line, conveying the cleo
trio current under his truck garden
by means of a network of wire. and
had his radishes in half the time it
took his slower neighbors to raise
them.
Edison's dream, and we hope his
prediction, bids fair to be realized by
the discovery of immense bodies of
the rare mineral, cadmium in Col
orado mine Cadmium is used by Edi-
son in his recently invented storage
battery, and he declared that with
such a discovery "electricity would
become cheaper than water
1t has been proved that electrified
seed terminates more rapidly than
others, and also by burying in the
soil one zinc plate and one copper
plate, placed vertically and connected
by wire, that potatoes and other
roots grown in the electrified space
thus secured produce about three
times the crop that others do in sim
liar soil close by, but without the
electricity. 1t is also applied to the
ripening process and found to be sue
ceSSful. 49,. ..--. +
