fury will have need of all the knowl-
edge education can bring. The nine
teentn century skinned the cream Of
invention; what was on the surface
has been appropriated. James Watt
made it impossible any one else should
have quite so brilliant record as him
self, and yet his masterstroke Of in
vention, the separate condenser, did
not need abstruse scientific attain
ments, although Watt was essentially
scientific in his methods. So each sue
cessful worker in the field of invention
does something to exhaust the soil, and
render needful higher fertilization for
further productiveness. New vistas,
however, are constantly being opened
out, and, to continue our analogy, we
have something like the rotation Of
crops in the changing instruments by
which the engineer attains his ends

This Country's Corn Crop.


The most valuable of all the crops of
this country is the corn crop. Last
year it was worth $751;, 220,094. The
cotton crop was worth 1857 900, 900 and
the wheat crop 1928 .525. III; that is, the
corn crop was worth about 100000
more than the wheat and cotton crops
combined. For the last twenty years
the corn crop has ranged between
1,100,O0O,00O bushels and 1900 10000 900
bushels. The small crop years in the
last twenty years have been 1881, 1890
and 1894. In the first the crop was
1,194 100000 bushels. In the second it
was 1,4SO,OOO,OOO bushels, and in the
third 1912, 100000 bushels. The great
err part of the loss in these years was
made good by an increase in price.
Corn rose from 1876 in 1880 to 636 in
1881. In 1894 it rose from 1865 to 45.7.
1nus far there have been half a dozen
years of large corn. crops successfully.
In 1895 2.151 100000 bushels; in 1896,

On /. & V. Local Number 75.-If ever
q man was justified in swearing in
self-defense, it is the man who works
on local freight train, and yet he is,
as a rule. one of the mildest hammered
men on earth. His business seems to
crush all resentment out of him. Once
in while the local freight man breaks
loose, and when he does swear his
range of profanity is something as
tonishing. Of course, if he doesn't like
his Job he can quit, but he never quits.
The local freight has to get under COW
err for everything else. All other trains
have right to give it bump if 1t is
found fooling around the main track,
and a local freight going west has to
get out of the way of local freight
going east. local freight never
meets another train. 1t always "gets
in the clear for the other crew." On
this train C. A. Marker Is conductor,
A. c. Thomas is head brakeman. F.
e. Dollins is center brakeman and Will
liam Mechanic is rear brakeman. Will
liam Healey Is englneman ana william
Dunlap is fireman. The train is made
up in the east yards by the switchmen
about a. M, and at 7:45 a. m. the
train is supposed to pull out of the "Y'
at the Belt crossing west of the river,
and seven miles distant from where it
Is made up. That is, it pulls out If
there is nothing else that wants to go
ahead Of it. The train is made up
of snort loads-that is, cars that are.
set off between terminals, way cars
containing small freight for different
stations, and terminal loads which go
from terminal to terminal. The freight
is marked ON the usual form of bill
Of lading, and the conductor has to ex-
anime each bill and see that each par
eel Of freight is properly distributed.

Mcat-Eating Peoples DO Things.

Among modern nations the people
who are the greatest eaters are those
who are foremost in civilization, the
Americans, British, Germans and
French. The Spaniards and Italians
are notably behind the other European
nations as eaters, just as they are be-
hind in other respects. The American
is the greatest eater of them all, av-
eraging more food per capita than any
other people. That disagreeabie dys-
peptic Carlyle, in letter to Emerson,
snar,ed out concerning America: "The
best thing l know of that country is
that in it man can have meat for his
labor" A nation of meat eaters and
coffee drinkers we certainly are.
France is rapidly falling behind in the
amount of food she consumes, and the
statistics show that in that country
there is too much drinking and too lit
tie eating, facts which have been taken
cognizance of by the French govern
ment. 1t seems to be the nations
which eat meat, and plenty Of it, which
do things after all. A conquering race
Of men cannot be raised on health
foods" or omelettes.

The three torpedo-boat destroyers

Is forwarded to the superintendent OF

have to be kept neat and clean, for the

the station numbers, with letter pre-

1t is assured in advance that the
question OF renewing next year the
Geary Chinese exclusion act will be
one of the important questions which
Congress will have to consider and
pass upon. Very few of the papers
which have so far discussed the sub

OF the act. The most unexpected quar-
ter from which opposition has come to
the renewal OF the Geary exclusion act
is our able contemporary, the Mobile

need and condemning us to put UP
with incompetents who know we can
not get along without them, and take
advantage of their knowledge" The
Times-Democrat freely admits with the
Register that negro labor in the south

posing that we were to have million
Celestials come into the south, and do
the work satisfactorily which the ne

After the navy department had de-

a receiving ship at the Brooklyn navy
yard it concluded to use the cruiser
Columbia for that purpose. The yes
sci was towed from the League Island
navy yard, where it had been laid up
for the last two years, to Brooklyn.
After its arrival there an officer was
quoted as saying that the machinery
of the Columbia. which cost 81 300, 900,
was covered with rust, that not steam
pump would work, and that only the
use Of hand pumps kept the vesse,
afloat.
The Columbia was built about ten
years ago, its total cost being $4,000
