Corn Famine Seem Imminent.

New York, July There
was scene of great excitement
in both the wheat and corn
markets at New York TO-DAY
trade aggregating one of the
largest davis totals in year or
more, especially as to corn.
Prices jumped Q SIS during the
day in corn, making 6 l-2 advance
for the week. Orders poured INTO
the market SO fast that brokers
could scarcely execute them at the
prices desired, and the usually
small crowd around the corn ring
was increased to such an extent
that at times it almost rlvaIled
the wheat pit. The farmers hav g
taken the bull side into their hands.
and in face of heavy realizing on
the part of professionals have
kept prices going until the cry Is
for 90 cent corn in Chicago. AL
ready prices are SO high in the
southwest that farmers are feed
ing their stock with wheat, and
unless rain comes very soon, many
fear only half the corn crop will

friendless, has suddenly doomed

Through the Whirlpool Rapids in
a Barrel at Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, July 14.-About
5000 persons saw Carlisle Gra-
ham make his fifth successful voy-
age through the whirlpool rapids
in a barrel this afternoon. The
barrel is of locust wood, oval
shaped, except that it has a flat
head; it is about five feet long, 10
inches in diameter at the foot and
16 inches at the head. With it's
100 pounds of ballast it weighs
165 pounds. The passage through
rapids was swift. 1t took only 3
l-2 minutes to pass through the
rapids and the whirl pool, a dis
tance of about mile. 1t was taken
from the water after it had circled
about in the whirlpool for a few
minutes. Graham was slightly
bruised about the elbows and
knees but otherwise he was un-
hurt.

City platform would not have the

much less in favor with the peo-

Bryan, however, las tile cffront-

remain upon this platform, and
every democrat who refuses to

he must be read out of the party.
Mr.. Bryan has given his orders

it is as certain as anything can be

! Among the most prominent and
attractive features along the Glen
are the Mlnnehaha Cascade, ca
vern Cascade, which takes leap
of over sixty feet down into the
recssses below, and the circ1lar r
cavern Immediately behind this
waterfall is called the Grotto,
which no one should fail to visit
in their pilgrimage through this
wonderful gorge. In Glen Cathe-
dral we get the best view of Ma

The Triple Cascade, rs the name

over which the water leaps with
mad rush to join that below. The
Rainbow falls comes out of the

the water does not come down iu
sheet but consists of miriad of
drops, which fall immediately in
front OF the narrow path along
the rocks, and forms lovely
crystal veil through which the
suns rays fail IN the summer
afternoons: producing most

let me say that when | went
through this place, the country
was suffering from long dry
spell, consequently the stream
flowing through the Glen was very
small and the cascades and pools
were also diminished. Just after a
big freshet is the best time to
visit the cliffs, when the falls will
be seen at their best. The air
within is cool and invigorating,
the aroma from the flowers and
vegetation is sweet aud most
fragrant and the intense heat of

Watkins Glen Is situated near

the appearance as if the nouns

within. 1t is n great cavern with
the top taken off. Through the
Glen flows ii small limpid stream
which finds its source in the noun
tam springs above, and, as it
threads its sinu0us way through
the gorge, it forms some very
pretty cascades and pools which
add very much to- he grandeur of
the scenery. The passage through
the glen, in some. places, narrows
to n small rift, then again w:dens
out into vast amph.theatres, pre-
srntlng magnificent effect. 1t

and its general direction is cas-,

the northern slopes the vegetation

The Tsans-Po is in several respects the most

thousand miles at an elevation of from 11,ooO to
li.00o feet. During the greater part of it's

miles or more the mighty river. in its descent
to the coast plain, runs with the speed of

lowed from its source to its mouth, and until
recently it was doubtful of which OF we'll

The United States France and some other ma

The King stimulates public curiosity con-

face running only, were made small enough TO
be carried on a battleship. They were meant to
be launched only temporarily when their ser

that a submarine may be handled in the same

INSPECTION

Although those who use horseless carriages for
pleasure rather than mere transportation turn
them to account at all seasons of the year in
terest in this form of sport experiences marked
stimulus in the spring. The roads are in better
condition then than in winter. and the attrac-
tions Of the landscape much greater. The
harvest of the automobile manufacturer, there
fore has now begun once more.
With rare exceptions those who go bowling
over country roads and through parks in this
class of vehicles are either possessors pros
pective purchasers. few houses let automo-
biles without driver, just livery stable keep
ers in the country hire out horses and buGges,
but they do so reluctantly. and only where they
are confident that the understands how to
manage the machine and is otherwise trust
worthy But the great majority of chauffeurs
actually own their automobiles. and have taken
lessons both in their construction and operation
In the quickness with which men and women
learn to manage these machines there is a great
difference People who already have a little
knowledge about machinery acquire proficiency
more rapidly than others. The manufacturer of
an automobile. rather the house which sells
it, sends expert out with the buyer for two
or three long runs Most people master the
of managing the vehicle in day two, while
some need three. Again, one is likely to discover
things after the first few days, which he did not
note when they first explained to him.
Hence experience is necessary to put the final
touches on the chauffeur's education. While he
is securing that experience he is likely to make
a number of rather foolish mistakes Makers
have sought to design their machines to
vender them fool proof But that is prac
ideally impossible. After all a certain amount
of caution and common is requisite in this
form of sport, just in driving spirited horses

One of the most common errors of the novice
is to develop. try to develop, injudiciously

lever over to apply the full force of his prope-
ling mechanism-electric motor gasolene engine

instead of beginning gently and going faster by
degrees, as a locomotive engineer does. This is
a risky performance. If he is at standstill and
has a pretty heavy load of live freight he may
injure the machinery at the very outset, and be
compelled to postpone his diversion for day
