RUMoRs OF GIGANTIC TRUST.
Cramp shipbuilding Company Said to Be in Deal with Large
 Firms.

In the face of explicit denial from officials of the Cramp Ship and Engine Building company and the Midvale Steel company. the story that the Vickers Sons and Maxim company. of England, are negotiating for the pur- chase Of these two great corporations is presented again with further cir cumstantial detail. but little or noth- ing of authoritative corroboration. There is good reason to believe that there is no truth in the report that either the Cramp or the Midvale com pany will. pass by purchase into the control of the big English concern.
 Whether or not a merging of inter- ests for the benefit of all parties to the triangular agreement is under consideration is another question. There is good authority for the state ment that such scheme would re- ceive the serious and even favorable thought of those heavily interested in Cramps and Midvale. Should such a combination be formed the capital necessary to effect it would come in large part from the English firm, which would thereafter have an inn portant voice in the management of the Cramp and Midvale merged inter- ests, but the affairs here would be principally in the hands of American directors.

TO CONDUCT A DAIRY FARM.
FoRinsR We'll Known Newspapey woman Buys Herd oS
 Jerseys.

Mrs. Antoinette Van Hoesen Wake man, formerly a weu-known newspa- per woman in Chicago, has put a herd of grade Jersey and Jersey -Holstein cows on her farm. near Hastings. Minn., and made the first shipment of milk to the Crescent Creamery company, of St. Paul.
 Mrs. Waleman believes that Hast ings is admirably situated to become point for the shipping of milk to the Twin Cities. She proposes to de- vote her place, which is less than & mile from the courthouse, exclusive ly to dairy products and fruit, and has built barn, and proposes to have her herd and milk cared for on the lines indicated by Prof. T. L. Haecker, of the agricultural experiment sta tion of the state university. Mrs. Wakeman has arranged to ship from 20 to 30 gallons of milk daily.
 Although this is somewhat ur- usual innovation for a woman in this part of the country, personally con- ducted" farms are profitable fad of eastern women. Mrs Richard Watson Glider, whose husband is the editor of the Century, has a farm of 25O acres, where she lives nine months out of every year, and makes most profitable. Abram Hewitt's daugh- ters are also enthusiastic and success full scientific farmers, and many other well-known women are devoting themselves to similar agricultural un- dertakngs

SUCCESSFUL AIRsHIP TRIAL.
COun won zeppelsn's InvsntaOa
 Proves to Be . Remark 1
 able One. 1seN !

Count von Zeppelen gave his sirship another trial the other afternoon at Friedrichshafen and achieved 6 notable success. After rising the airship re- mained poised at height of 6OOmeters for three-Quarters of an hour. It then made series of tacks and performed sundry turning maneuvers, after which it was steered against the wind. It finally headed toward Immenstad1, where the inventor landed after trip that lasted about an hour.
 The king and queen of Wurtemburg witnessed the trial from the deck of a steamer.
 The airship carried four persons be- sides Count Zeppelen. When it rose the wind was from the northeast, blowing at velocity of 3tz yards per second. When the airship had attained height of 400 yards it described a circle, and then drove with the wind in generally circular direction for about six miles 1t then again described a circle, after which it made headway against the wind, which was then blowing with in- creased velocity. Eventually the air ship descended with great ease and stead1ness into the lake and was toweR to a shed.
 The experiment was successful. It's stability, equilibrium and steering powers were excellent. It is generally agreed that considerable progress has been made since its first ascent.

ARIZONA'S GAIN.
Census Shows Increase OE 1OA.o Per
 Cent. in Population in .x Decade.

The census bureau has made public the returns of population for the terri tory of Arizona. The population of the territory in 1900 is 122, ,212, as compared with population in 1890 of $, ,62O. This shows an increase during the decade. of 62,592, or 104.9 per cent. This large in- crease is due in part to the fact that there were 2S, ,469 Indians and 154 other persons, or total of 2s,623 persons, on Indian reservations, etc., in Arizona, who were specially enumerated in 1890 under the provisions of the census act, but were not included in the general population of the territory at that cen sus.
 The population of the territory in 1870 was 9,65s, and during the ten years from 1870 to 1880 it increased 30, ,7SZ, or 31S.7 per cent, giving a population in 1880 of 4O,44O. The population in 1890, as given in the report for that census, was 59,620, representing an increase during the decade of 19, ,1sO, or 47.4 per cent. The population of Arizona in 1900 is more than 12 times as large as the population given in 1870, the first cen sus taken after its organization ss a territory in 1883.
 The total land surface of Arizona is. approximately, 112,o2o square miles. the average number of persons to the square mile of the censuses of 1890 and 1900 being as follows: 1890, O.s; 1899, 1.

 Since the last great shower in 1866 Jupiter has passed quite close to the portion of the orbit containing the meteors due in 1899. and has, accord ing to calculations. so perturbed the path as to make them cross the line of the earth's orbit several hundred thou sand miles inside the orbit-that is. nearer the sun-so that the earth may not have passed through the swarm. At the same time the stream will take but four or five hours in passing any way. and if it comes before the radiant is above the horizon it will not be seen at all.
 "The second possible explanation is that there was a dearth of meteors in that portion of the swarm encountered by the earth in 1899, and there is no reason to-day to think that they are evenly distributed. It is possible, how ever. to believe that the portion of the stream due at the intersection of the earth's orbit this year, has not yet been perturbed by Jupiter in the same way as last year."

SAY BURIED GOLD IS TAKEN.
Over . Rich Discovery Near Village.

Buried treasure, recovered after be- ing hidden in the earth for more than a century has excited the townsfolk of Hanover, small village about three miles from Morristown, N. J. An iron pot, rusty and falling apart from age, was found at the bottom of an open hole six feet deep on the land of the Walker homestead, imbedded in four walls of stout masonry.
 The opening in the ground had been made at midnight the night before by three strangers, who were seen at work by Harvey Edwards, a farmer, and their actions were so mysterious that he, instead of Investigating, retreated into his own house, locked and barred all the windows save one in the attic, from which he watched the silent fig ures digging furiously until almost daylight. The nearest constable lived a mile away. Edwards had no weapon in the house but an old shotgun. and he did not dare to venture out until the men packed their tools into bags and walked rapidly up the road leading from the village. The next after noon dozen residents in the neigh borhood went to look at the excava- tions and the old iron pot. and the opinion was unanimous that the strangers had by some means come into the possession of the secret of the hid ing place of s5O,oOo in gold which disap- peared in the revolutionary war after 1t had been deposited with Aaron Kitch- ell, patriot and one of the first mem bers of the continental congress from East Jersey.

GROWING EAR DRUMS
How Specialists Will Restore Hear
 ing of a Young Heiress.
Young Medical Student Writes from Vienna Telling of the Wonderful Skill That Has Come to the Aid
 of Miss Alta Rockefeller.

That the foremost specialists of Eu- rope are growing new ear drums for Miss Alta Rockefeller, the daughter of John D. Rockefeller, is the remarkable disclosure made in letter from a young medical student, now in Vienna, to his family in Cleveland, O. He says:
 "One of the most astonishing med ical cases here is that of Miss Rockefel- Ter. She is being treated by one of the greatest doctors in the world. l need not go into a technical description of the case, but it is a mighty strange one. They tell us here that the surgeons are growing new diaphragms-ear drums in the girls ears.
 Such a feat has only been accom- plished once or twice before, and the whole thing was kept a profound secret here. Miss Rockefeller's defect of hearing resulted from an attack of scarlet fever, years ago. As she grew older the trouble increased, until she was almost stone deaf. It is said that one new ear drum has been completely grown, and the other is we'll under way.
 "One peculiar thing is that with the hearing restored, after years of dulled sensibility, any ordinary noise causes intense suffering. The patient is guarded against any harsh or sharp sounds. and gradually she will become accustomed to hearing again."

King Oscar was HI. Host.

A story Illustrating the simple bon homie of the king of Sweden and Nor way is told by M. Gaston Bonnier, the botanist. M. Bonnier was botanizinR near Stockholm, when he met a stran- ger similarly occupied. The two botanists fraternized and M. Bonnier suggested that they should lunch to- gether at an inn.
 "No; come home and lunch with me instead" said the stranger; and he led the way to the palace and opened the gate.
 M. Bonnier was naturally astonished, but his new acquaintance was most apologetic.
 'I'm sorry" he said, "but I happen to be the king of this country, and this is the only place I've got to entertain anybody in." So they went in and lunched, and talked botany together all the afternoon.-Chicago Tiues-Herald.

strengthen the ties of friendship be- tween the two countries. Mention Is made of the close relations of lan- guage, race and literature and of the fact that the queens mother was born in Germany.
 It is learned from a reliable source that her choice is her own and against the wishes of the Dutch cabinet. who desired her to wait for another year or two until her judgment was more mature. She took the matter into her own hands, When she visited Potsdam a year ago everybody e1@ pected that her choice would be Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prussis,. who paid court to her assiduously and rescued her and the queen mother from a serious accident while they were driving in the Sans Souci park. At that time she seemed to be seri- ously smitten, the prince being talI- good looking and amiable; but it is understood that she yielded to the strong objections of the Dutch cab inet, who urged that an alliance with Prussian prince might bring Poiit- ical entanglements.
 The young duke is in habits and manner a typical German officer. He has travelled to India and North Cape Recently he has been much in evi~ dence in Berlin and Potsdam and in court, military and diplomatic socie- ety. where he Is appreciated as an indefatigible dancer. He is also fine equestrian. His brother, Duke Adolf Friedrich, is noted steeplechaser.

n..4h Rate in the Boer War.

Now that the war is drawing to close. we can reckon up its cost in blood. Ten thousand men have purchased the Boer republics for Britain with their lives. not to speak of four times that number who have been wounded, many of them crippled for life. It is ter r;ble record, but it is consoling-if there can be consolation in such deplora- ble eyent-to know that the mortality has been less than was expected when the full strength of the army in South Africa was known. The chances of war are that five men in hundred will be killed in battle or die of disease, but the deaths in South Africa have been only four per hundred. This is near lv two per cent. lower than the nor tality in our Napoleonic wars. and it compares favorably with the death rate in some of the principal wars of the century.-London Chronicle.

NEVER REAPED A REWARD.
and Neglected Amidst the Plenty of Paris.

On January 24, 1860, M. Lenoir, z chemist, was granted patent for mo- tor driven by an explosive mixture of air and gas. He even used electric ig- milton, obtained from a battery and Ruhmkoef coil, and actuating a spark ing plug very similar to the style in vogue to-day. He employed coal gas at first, but in his specification said that he could use other gases, or even produce gas at the requisite mo- ment from hydro-carbon liquids. there by foreshadowing the employment of petroleum. The system of valves. by means of which the suction of the piston drew in the charge of gas for the next explosion, was also designed by Lenoir. and still remains the govern ing principle in explosion engines. So that in 40 years that have elapsed since Lenoir's motor there have been few radical changes.
 In 1862 he produced 6 car driven by one of his motors, and this accom- plished some short trips in the streets of Paris, after which, for some reason, it made DO further progress, He seemed to have DO luck. his invention was premature and beyond the grati- ication of his hobby he had no appre- citation
 Fifteen years went by before an- other man attempted motor car again, and it was not till 1887 that Daimler produced his first car, which, to do him justice, was the earliest of the really practicable vehicles.
 Poor Lenoir lived to see the motor in- dustry attain enormous dimensions. to see honors and wealth heaped on other men, and died in humble circumstances honor or reward.
