Ringling Bros Excursions.

Special excursion rates on all lines of
travel have been arranged for by the
management of Ringling Bros Worlds
Greatest Shows, and those who wish to
60 to Madison where this great circus
exhibits Saturday, June %, can do so at
comparatively small expense. This will
be the only point in this vicinity where
the show will exhibit this season, and no
one should miss the opportunity to see
it. Ringing Bros Circus has been the
leading arenic exhibition of America for
years, but the show is never permitted
to exist upon its reputation Although
it long ago passed the point of competi-
ton, every year sees a greater and
grander show. This years performance
is entirely new, and the magnitude of
the exhibition dwarfs anything of the
kind ever before attempted There is a
great triple ring exhibition given by 300
high-salaried artists from all parts of the
world; trained animal department, pre-
senting marvelously educated bears,
seals, dogs, ponies and elephants; mag
ni6cent horse spectacle; vast menag-
erie, which exhibits the only giraffe on
earth; a gorgeous revival of the old
Roman hippodrome and many other
great features. Circus day opens with
brilliant street parade, two miles in
length. Don't fail to see it.

LANCASTER New ERA, June 10, 1902.

During the past week our home mar
ket appears to have been taking little
rest after the activity of three weeks
ago. Such condition of things is far
from being unusual, periods of great
activity being generally followed by
others Of comparative dullness. That is,
the situation at the present moment. AS,
a number of local agents are at present
out on the road, better things may show
up in the near future. The folio ing
transactions are all that have con to
our notice: B. f. Good & Co. boughC 30
cases and sold 56S, and G. w. Ritner Il
Co. sold 125 cases; in all, 983 cases.
A great deal Of tobacco has been set
out, but we notice that many fields have
been made ready in which not single
plant has so far been set. The dry spell,
If much longer continued, will reduce
the acreage in this county very much, as
it will be too late to plant, while some of
that already out will suffer very serious
ly. That already out is not making much
progress, owing to the same cause. AL
most everywhere else, in Wisconsin and
New England, they have had abundant
rains.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,

EDGERToN, WIS.,, June 20, 1902.
The transplanting of the new tobacco
crop is yet the absorbing topic through
out the growing sections of the state.
The growers have been favored with
ideal weather for this work and the re-
Gently set plants never made a better
showing in the fields at this date. The
close of the week will see them we'll
along with the planting.
The buying movement in last seasons
crop is drawing to close. An occasion
al lot is being lifted by few dealers
who are yet in the market at prices
heretofore quoted. The growing districts
are about as closely cleaned up of cased
goods as the average of other years.
In cured goods the market continues
remarkably quiet both at home and in
the eastern leaf centers. The most i'm
portant late transactions are the sale of
the Dwight Loomis packing of 1900,
7O0cs, to the Bamberger firm and the
Esperseth packing, 600cs, of Vernon
county 1901 leaf to Fred Eckhart. Geo.
Rumrill reports the sale of 5Ocs for the
week.
The shipments out of storage in this
market reach q car loads, lilies, for
the week past to all points. Since last
report 71Ocs of cigar leaf were exported
from New York.

NEW YORK, June IL, 1902.

The domestic leaf market remains in a
semi-legarthic condition. Probably the
most dealt-in tobacco this week was
Pennsylvania Broad leaf, the aggregate
sales of which amounted to over 500
boxes. This amount is made up of small
lots, however. sold by different firms.
Something over 200 cases of Wisconsin
binders are reported as having changed
hands, and a few small lots of force
sweated Connecticut, at varying prices.
During this dull period the trade should
not forget that good tobacco is good
property, and that before the summer is
over the demand is sure to become
stronger and the market more active.

not doing business enough to encourage
them in adding very extensively to their

but the Sumatra market as a whole is
quiet, and the fact that importers have
tried to force sales has made manufac-
turers wary and not overanxious to take
on any more stock than they actually
need for immediate use.
Havana.-A number of importers re-
port that they have good d-sized deals
pending, but there is discouraging lack
of actual sales. Buyers claim that there
is remarkable variation in prices as
asked by different importers for goods
that are really very similar in character.
The amount of tobacco reported as sold
during the week is quite insignificant in

NEW YORK, June Ii, l0UZ.
The tail end of the season being at
hand and the dog days commencing to
put in their appearance not much of
push and vigor can be expected from the
leaf market. Old goods of every type
are moving freely but not in large guam
titles. They sell to supply needs from
hand TO mouth. Some of the larger hold
ings of Wisconsin are being broken up
into smaller lots to accommodate the
most urgent needs. And the high prices
are being paid reader for smaller lots
than for large unbroken packings. Penn
sylvania and Onondaga BIS have quite a
steady sale though other fancy filters are
apparently neglected. The Sumatra
and Florida are supplying the domestic
wrapper needs, the Florida enjoying
quite boom for export to Porto Rico,
where the scarcity of wrapper leaf is
quite drawback to the fiourishing cigar
industry on that island.
For our home supply Sumatra is be-
ing freely taken. Some of the new i'm
record breakers in yield and price. Sales
for the week about 250 bales.
The Havana market continues to re-
tain it's renewed activity. Buyers are
evidently supplying themselves again
ahead of immediate needs and they GER
tainly do not make a mistake in supply,
ing themselves with the new Remedies.
The supply of factory vegas, however,
has become inadequate to the actual de-
mands. The steady increase, not only
of the clear Havana cigar consumption,
but also the starting of so many clear
Havana cigar factories, is drawing very
heavily on that type of Cuban leaf

We have no sales to report. Those
growers who are holding their crops of
tobacco do not expect to sell until the
leaf has been sweated. They know its

there are those who have injured their
crops by packing when the leaf was too

Automatic SEED Regulator.

The subject of this article is an i'm
proved fire escape, which does not de-
pend upon the GOODNESS and nerve of
men to put it in operation or regulate
it when once in action. Recent loss of
life by fire shows there is still al I'M
filed want in this direction, and John
Williams of Belyidere, H., submits the
invention shown in the drawing, its
chief advantage lying in the control OF
the speed of descent by the movement
of two pistons sliding in cylinders piv-
oted in wall brackets attached to the
building The pistons slide back and
forth through a heavy liquid, which
must pass from one side to the other
of the crank can be completed. AS
the internal diameter of the cylinders
nearly corresponds with the size of the
piston, it is obvious that the flow of
the LIQUID must be comparatively slow.
Thus no matter what weight is in the
cars attached to the endless chains,
there is no danger of damage from ex-
IRENE speed. The inventor proposes
Ito limit the speed of cars still more IN
passing each window to enable persons
to enter the cars with safety. This is
accomplished by making one revolu-
ton of the cranks correspond to the
fall of a car from one window to the
next! decreasing the internal diameter
of the piston at one end to make the
liquid pass more slowly around the
piston at that end. AS portion of the
cars are always returning to make

Here is a simple and yet accurate
apparatus with the aid of which any
industrious child can gain knowledge
of the art of telegraphy, with practice
in receiving as we'll as sending mes
sages. The chief difficulty to over
come is the training of the ear to
catch and distinguish the length and
number of the dots and dashes, the
sending Of a message being a compar-
atively easy task. The former method
of attaining proficiency in receiving
was to have a person send a message
after message to the learner, a tire
some process to the sender, as patience
and perseverance are required in the
work. With the new apparatus the
learner needs no assistant simply
grinding out his own dots and dashes
as fast or slow as may be necessary
to correspond with his speed in receiv-
ing. The ordinary form of key and
sOunder are used, being wired to the
battery in the usual way. There is
also a circluit formed between the
SOunder and spring tongue resting on
the edge of the rotary disk. In line
with the points of the tongue the disk
is covered at proper intervals with
non-conducting projections, which

action of the air inside, which induces
fermentation of the alcohol in the juice
of the fruit, ultimately passing to the
final stages of decay. BY ordinary
methods of canning it is almost i'm
possible to exhaust this air entirely,
and it is to aid in this work that the
apparatus here shown has been de-
signed by William II. Fredericks of
Portland, Ore. The intention of the
inventor is to make the machine ex-
haust the air from the can and then
seal it automatically without allowing
a return of the air from the outside.
In order to accomplish this purpose
the only change rendered necessary in
the jar is the insertion of a valve in
the center of the screw top. The
mechanism consists of a cylinder and

Expected Comets of 1902.

Two periodic comets are expected
to return during the present year. The
first was originally discovered by
Temple at Marseilles in 1869 and re-
wolves about the sun every five and a
half years. 1t was Independently dis
covered by Swift in California in 1880
. and was again found by Barnard at
the Lick Observatory in 1891. 1t was
not seen in 1886 and in 1897 nor be-
tween. 1869 and 1880. 1t is expected
to return early in December, 1902.
The second comet was discovered by
Swift in California in 1895, and it's
period is about seven years. 1t is not
improbably identical with the comet
discovered by Messier at Marseilles
in 1870. 1t was expected to return in
1775, but in passing close to Jupiter
its orbit was greatly altered. 1t will
return toward the end OF November,
1902.

Electric Force From the sun

In the Revue Generate des Sciences
NJ. Nordmann., proposes a theory of
the propa cation of electric force from
the sun into space which is based on
the assumption that Hertzan waves
are emitted from the, surface of our
luminary, and that the emission Of
these electric waves, must be particu-
larly intense at epOchs of maximum
solar activity. M. Nordmann admits
that hitherto attempts to discover
Hertzian waves in',the solar ratiia-
ton have led to a negative result;
but, in his opinion, this may be ex-
planned by the copious absorption Of
the electric undulations in the higher
layers of our atmosphere. On this
