Minnesota experimental farm. had an
experience Thursday morning last
that is worth relating.
Bocock was leaving the depot when
! he saw woman with a shawl over her
head, who seemed to be in trouble.
The girl was standing in a doorway
and Bocock became interested IN her.
When he inquired what the trouble
was she told him tale of woe about
her father being out of work and her
mother sick with pneumonia. She
| had lot Of little brothers and sisters
who were in extremis from hunger.
Boeock is a kind-hearted man. He
promptly extracted So bill from the
comfortable roll in his pocket. told
the unfortunate young person to cheer
up and passed on his way, soliloquiz-
ing on the vicissitudes of CITY life and
thanking his numerous lucky stars
that he was a farmer in BIG way Of
| business.
Suddenly it occurred to Bocock that
there were charitable organizations
in all cities supposed to look after

cock promptly turned round ard re-
/ traced his steps, bent on telling his

PROFITS IN HUNTING TREES.

Finding OF Mahogany IL Lucrative
Occupation in South America.
Mahogany hunting is the most i'm.
portant and best paid labor In the Gen.
tral and South American service, for
upon the skill and activity Of the man
largely depends the success of the sea-
son. The trees do not grow In groups,
but are scattered prOmiscuOusly
through the forest and hidden In the
dense growth Of underbrush. vines and
creepers. and 1t requires skillful and
experienced woOdsmen to find them. To
fell large mahogany tree Is one days
task for two men. On account Of the
thorn-like spurs which project from the
trunk ut Its base, scaffolds are erected
and the tree cut OF above these pro.
tuberances, which leaves stump from
ten to fifteen feet high, thus wasting
the best part Of the tree. After trim-
ming the tree Of its granches It is
hauled by means Of a crude truck, with
oxen as motive power, to the bank Of
the river. There the logs are collected
and made ready for the floods. On the
July. and on others in October and No.
vember. The logs are turned adrift.
and when they reach tidewater are
caught by means Of booms. From the
boom the logs are taken to the "em-
barcadero" and prepared for shipment.
A tree makes from two to Ave logs.
measuring ten to eighteen feet in
length and from twenty to twenty-four
inches in diameter after being hewed.
There Is great range in the value Of
mahogany timber. The poor grade Of
short stock may sell as low as 80 cents
for 1,0OO feet. while fancy material,
used in the manufacture Of tops of
counters, may be worth $3.50 for 1000
feet, or even higher. Previous to the
war In Cuba much mahogany WAS ship
ped from the island to the United
States.

tied with the construction or the firs,
successful electric road, that which he
operated In 1880 at his home at Menlc
Park, n. ]. Since then electric trac.
tion has developed to such an extent
that now there are more than 1000
such street car lines Ia operation In the
United States. with capitalization OF
81, zoe, 100000. The same electric pow
er, only dimly known before the won
derful century. now lights our cities.
In the United States there are half a
million arc lights and about 2O.OO0.OOO
tncandescent lights-the latter being
equivalent IN light-giying capacity to
32O,OOO,OOO candle tips such as they
used in 1900.
While the railroads have served to
diffuse the population from one end Of
the land to the other, another invention
has served to centralize 1.-THE eleva-
tor. Because Of 1t the huge sky-scrap-
ers, the immense fiat houses and the
great factories have been made feasi-
bic. Formerly, when Shanks. his mare,
was the fashion, people had to climb
stairs. This tended to low buildings
and the consequent spread Of popula-
ton. The elevator has changed all that.
Huge caravansaries teeming with hui
man beings accommodate as many as
formerly could be crowded into re-
spectacle towns. The elevator makes
practicable the Capitalization Of COM
mercial interests which is the basis of
our great cities.
The Age Of Steel.
The science of applied mechanics has
reached a stage where further improve
ments seem impossible, yet every day
new inventions and improvements on
old are recorded at the patent office.
In other times they built houses OF
wood and brick; now, they construct
them Of steel and iron, and SO care
fully are the plans developed that the
architect can say how many bolts will
be required In the construction OF a
sky-scraper. how much each beam can
support. where each piece of iron be-
longs. Wooden bridges have been sup
planted by huge steel structures. Even
stone towers are being abandoned for
the lighter steel. The age Of steel Is
here.

the touch Of human hands.
PhotoSraphy and Printing.
photography Is product of the last
hundred years. To have ones picture
took" in We olden times required con-
siderable money and more patience.
for 1t took some time to paint the DOR
trait. Daguerre's daguerreotype, the
forerunner of the photograph, hewed
the way for the developments In this
line of the last ten years. Photography
and color printing together have been
among the mightiest educational infiu-
ences the world has ever known. An.
pealing to the brain direct through the
eye. they have taught more swiftly
and more widely than is possible to
any other agency. To science their
aid has been inestimable.
No man can judge of the influence of
the printing press, which did not reach
any considerable development before
1900. In 1900 the principal daily pa
pers were published in Boston and
New York City. They were maryels
Of staid conservatism. They per.
mitted no news younger than week

rection most comfortable. 1t may have
been superlative work for those days
but nowadays new type is cast while
being set; paper comes in rolls from
two to four miles long; presses run
off $4,000 complete newspaper an hour.
The press, which is the most powerful
agent of progress. is in itself typical OF
