A Benefit to Farmers.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result TO farmers from the recent in
corporation of the international Har-
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not been
considered by large portion of the
farming community.
The economical necessity of a c0nsol-
cation of the interests of manufactur-
ers and those Of their farmer custo-
merS must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The Increased and increasing cost OF
material, manufacturing and selling
Inc latter in consequence of extreme
ana bitter competition between manu-
1acturers and their several selling
agents-has made the business unprof-
liable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers We're either the increas-
ing of the prices of machines or the
reduction of the cost of manufacture
and sales. The latter could only he
accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
As can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
Jobbing operation but a centering of
mutual interests There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
tangible assets. There is no stock Of
fered 10 the public, it having all been
subscribed and paid for by the manu-
facturers and their associates
The management Of the Interna tiOnal
Harvester Company is in the hands of
well-known, experienced men.
The officers are: President. Cyrus
IL. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chairman
FINANCE Committee, George w. Per
kins: Vice Presidents. Harold f. Nc,
Cormick, James Deering. Vim. II.

The International Harvester Com
pany owns i've of the largest harvester
plants in existence, The Champion
Deering. Mccormick. Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 30 per cent of the
harvesting machines of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands
blast furnaces and steel plant; it has
a new factory in the process of con
struction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of pro.
ducinS grain, grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be contiu-
ued and that consequently the results
cannot be otherwise than beneficial to
the farmer. To maintain the present
prices of these machines means to con
tlnue and increase the development Of
the agriculture of the world. for no ore
cause has contributed or can contribute
more TO this development than the
cheapness of machines for harvestins
grains.

DEPTH OF OCEAN CABLES.
Information Obtained in Regard to Sub
marine Territory

There seems to be no logical reason
why cables cannot be laid across any sec
ton of the oceans of the world, no mat
ter how great the depth. Some portions
Of theAtlantic cables are over three miles
below the surface, and this is not neceS-
Sarily the extreme depth, for the cable
may, and probably does, pass from the
top of one submarine hill to another,
without dropping materially into the deep
valleys between. The greatest known
depth of the sea is 40. 236 feet, or seven
three-fifths miles, found in the South At
lantic, about midway between the Island
Of Tristan d'Acunha and the mouth Of
she Rio. de- Ia Plata.
Soundings have been made TO the depth
of 27,IS0 feet in the North Atlantic,
south of Newfoundland. and about 81 900
feet, or nearly six and a half miles, is
reported south of the Bermudas. Even
such enormous depths as these need not
hinder cable laying, so far as the theory
is concerned, but in practice, for reasons
of economy i'll maintenance and other
wise, it is found best to take advantage
of favoring conditions in the oceans bed.
To illustrate, all OF the cables between
the United States and Europe run mp
along our coast until they reach the
neighbOrhood of Newfoundland before
starting across to their destinations in
Ireland and France. The reason for this
is round IN the range OF submarine table
lands. forming an ideal cable bed. which
lies between the three latter countries.
In past years immense portions of this
submerged territory have been plotted
and mapped by various governmental and
private expeditions, and this knowledge
is constantly being added to. 1t becomes
particularly valuable in economic cable
laying. Except in extreme cases, the
electric conductor is not dropped over
board haphazard. On the contrary. the
submarine mountains, valleys and plains
over which it is to take it's sinuous course
are accurately selected beforehand. and
their general confguration, soil covering,
if any. and other peculiarities properly
taken into consideration. Special varie-
ties of cable are manufactured to meet
certain conditions known to exist where
they are to go. Like men in all trades,
the cable layers must adhere closely to
the specifications given them in starting
in order to perform the right kind of
work
The steamship, therefore. while going
ahead and paying out the cable over the
stern pulley. is under the guidance of
skilled hands. following a certain path.
which has been pointed out for her by
sageS Oh the mainland as being the best
adapted for the comfort and ease of the
electrical conductor she is depositing.-

DOG BROUGHT POLICEMAN.
Smart Canine Wouldn't Stand Butchers
"Short- Change" Game.

John Il. Stanchicld told this story at
the Hoffman house the other night:
The most remarkable dog | know
he said, belongs to a neighbor of mine.
Some time ago the dog was taught to 90
to Il butchers shop for Il certain cut of
beef thar my neighbor liked. The butch
or was instructed to send 40 cents
worth each time. and so the dog was
given Il dollar bill, which he took in his
mouth and started away on his errand
Invariably the butcher would give the
dog the meat and thirty cents i'm change
and the dog would jog back home CON
teutcdly.
One day the butcher thought he
would fool the dog. and so he gave him
% cents instead of the correct amount.
As the dog took the money in his mouth
he seemed somewhat mystiied. He went
off, but it was not ten minutes before he
returned, followed by a Policeman

IN A TIGHT PLACE, SURELY.
Washington'S Memory Enshrined in
"Grouch's" Heart

Old Col. Lee, who resided for many
years in Ninth street, few doors west
of the Hotel st. Denis. is remembered
by hundreds of New Workers for his
bright manner and happy, apt remarks.
When the project of erecting an eques-
trian statue to Gen. Washington in
Union square was proposed, Col. Lee
was intrusted with one of the subscrip-
ton papers for circulation Shortly
after receiving it he approached well
known citizen and asked for a subscrip-
lion. But the citizen declined to sub
scribe, stating in rather pompous man
ner:
Il do not consider, sir, that there is
any necessity for II monument to Mr..
Washington His fame is undyins. sir;
he is enshrined in the hearts of his
countrymen."
rs he enshrined in your heart:" soft
ly inquired the colonel.

DIED SHIELDING LITTLE ONES.
Storks Voluntarily Burned to Death in
Turkish Fire.

StOrks have always been held in great
esteem in Turkey. and their good reputa-
ton has gone uD considerably owing to
a most touching incident that occurred
quite recently.
\ smill village on the Gulf of Ismidt
caught fire and over 200 houses were de-
stroyed. A large number had storks
nests on them, and at the beginning Of
the fire all the birds took fight Almost
Immediately, however, they returned to
their little ones, of which there were
two or three in each nest.
The old birds settled down over their
broods, covering them with their wings,
and one after another persisted in the
flames without attempting to save them

THE REMITTANCE" MAN.
Reminder of Time When Australia was
Penal Colony.

Penal Colony.
Even before the abolition of the CON
Wet transportation system. when the
Australian colonies ceased TO be merely
penal Sctticmments, Il custom had sprung
up among the ranks of the English aris-
tOcTaCy and wealthy middle classes which
supplied Australia with a small but UNI
ceaslnS stream of undesirable British
emigrants.
rms custom was, and is. for fathers
and heads of families to dispatch their
irremediably lazy, vicious and ne'er-do-
well Or dlpSOmaniac younger sons and
relatives to the various Australian states.
and there maintain them from actual
starvation by a small quarterly-paid life
pension RENTED to them through a bank,
which said pension, it is mutually agreed
between donors and recipients, shall bt
absolutely and forever forfeited if tn,

Hence the remittance mana by no
means contemplate unit Of Australian
population when his class is considered
in its numerical aggregate, but in every
other respect a ttespicahle creature ant
an incomparabIy useless member of so
ciety. In the excessive local slang he il
known as = ''waster." a term which
reaches the no plus ultra OF contemptuous
sentiment gnd criticism.
Quite ninc-tenthS of remittance men

one-tenth comprises n curious band o.
hopeless rogues, spendthrift bankrupts
criminal imbeciIes, cashiered army off

principled blackguards. II is Australia
chief grievance against the motherlant
that England selfishly persists in foist,

VEGETABLE DISPLAYS
FAIR WILL
COVER WIDE SCOPE.
Display of Edible Fruits and Vege-
tables win Prove a Surprise to Cen
eral Public.

S. NJ. Damon has taken a lively in
terest in the forthcoming Agricultural
fair and has given his head gardener
and superintendent d. Mcintyre, liberal
instructions with regard to making
display.
Both Huluamanu ranch and the gar
dens and hothOuses at MOanalua Will
contribute towards the display which
will be one of the ornamental features
of the fair and be given all prominence
on the floor. Commissioner Wray Tay-
lor hopes to be furnished with many
of the beautiful varieties of plants for
which Moanalua is famous, either as an
exhibit or a loan to the fair.
The floor space has now been laid out
to scale and the main plan is being out
lined. The displays will be arranged,
for the most part, on long tables which
are now being built for that purpose,
while such exhibits as are unsuitable
for table showing and call for more
space will be given room to build up
their displays. Growing bananas, pa
paias, sugar cane and other products
that can be placed in soil will form the
principal decorations with ferns and
palms from the government nursery.
| The floral exhibit of cut flowers, leis
and flowers in pots will make an in
teresting and effective feature while the
| ingenuity of various exhibitors, will it
| is thought, supply many unexpected de-
velopments showing the agricultural re-
sources of the territory.
The exhibits include forestry as well
| as field culture and the products and
woods of the trees Of the islands will
! be shown in various forms. To as great
an extent as may be accomplished the
trees themselves will be on exhibition.
| The diseases of scale, blight and worm
that effect all the vegetable growths Of
! the islands will be placed on view along
with the means of prevention and re-
medy that modern science has discov-
! cred for the limitation of their damage
| Fruits grown here will form a cata-
logue, the variety of which will sur
| prise many who imagine they have
| tasted all the tropical and semi-tropical
| fruits of the islands. The vegetable eX-
| hibit of edible foods will extend over a
! much wider range than most people
! imagint, requests for space coming in
| from all sides showing that the varie-
ties grown on the higher attitudes will
bring before the public many mainland
| vegetables that are usually thought far
| beyond reach.
