duee Wind Resistance.
At the recent speed trials on the
Berlin-Zossen road it was found that
the wind resistance to a train under
speed was one of the most serious OBJ
stacles in the way of obtaining the de-
sired results. 1t was found that while
at a speed of so miles per hour this
resistance on a still day was about
67.2 pounds per square meter of the
surface of the front end of the car,
the rate increased very rapidly with
the augmentation Of speed, so that at
a pace of 93.7 miles the resistance
rose to 1875 pounds per square me-
ter of impinging surface. Every pro-
jecting part, every window, door or
other indentation which could form
pocket to catch the wind created by
such high velocities, increased the re-
sistance to be overcome, so that in al,
future experiments, the company of
rapid transit will require that the
factor of air resistance shall be taken
into careful account.
These experiments will be continu-
ed and the matter of wind pressure
will be looked after in the construc-
ton of a train, which will be tried
next year on this line. This is to be
done by enveIoping the engine and
train, from pilot to rear platform, in a
shield OF sheet steel, jointed so as to
secure fiexibility in passing curves,
and so constructed as to inclose the
locomotive and cars in continuous
tube, uniform throughout in size and
presenting no projecting irregularity

The front of the engine will be point

Where the Hog Loads.

For quick returns the hog is far
ahead of the steer or sheep. He is
easily fitted for the slaughter at six
months old, and at that time, if he
has been we'll fattened, eighty per cent.
of his live weight is in dressed meat.
But, as the saying goes, every part of
him excepting the grunt and the squeal
rs utilized. The bristles, the intestines
or sausage castings, the blood and the
bone, all play their parts, while the
liver and heart are favOrite food with
many. The steer viii need about three
crops of corn to fatten him, and often
not more than fifty per cent. of his
weight is dressed meat, while it is I'M
usual to find one that does not shrink
over forty per cent. One crop of corn
will fatten both the fall and the spring
pigs each year. All of this is decided
advantage in favor Of the keeping OF
swine, and those who have done Sc
and avoided the attacks Of cholera and
swine plague have been successful and
prosperous in their business.-Kansaf

Fnrmers and Breeds.

the characteristics of sheep should bear
in mind that they are behind the buy

of sheep from which the wool was
sheared, and it's fitness for the pur-
pose for which it is desired. The buy
ers know the breeds, the kind Of wool
peculiar to each breed, and all about
them. for it is business" A farmer
would sheer at carpenter who pro-

farmers, and who would rebel if their
knowledge of the business should be
questioned. but who, at the same time,
cannot tell as much about the products
of the farm as many of those who
know nothing about farm life. There
are hundreds of farmers who are not
able to distinguish breeds of sheep
and who do not know the particular
purposes for which a breed is mos
suitable, and still they pride them

at some OF the statistical evidences OF
Galveston's recuperaton.
Bank clearings during the fiscal year
were S3T223S, 800, d gain OF $11 1856, 800, or
more than per cent. The total ship
ping business of the port was valued
at s260,S3I,354, gain of s14.270, 107, or
nearly per cent. The receipts at the
Galveston postoflice were s140,S46, an In
crease of $52,375, or go per cent. The
cotton exports were 1,90l,256 bales,
valued at sS6,326777, compared with
1859, 1877 bales worth ss2 2,O93,9S2 the year
before. And so on through a long list
of articles. 1t took 3S more vessels,
with an increase of 210,0S7 in the ton
mage, to transact Galveston's commerce
on the water. and the railroads in
creased their facilities in proportion.
In short, in less than two years this
enterprising community has not only
put behind 1t the visible signs of its
afllictlon but has taken advantage OF
that affliction to build anew on a broad
er and more modern foundation, liter
ally wrestling profit from disaster.

"\HE AMAZING ability Of
American cities to recuper-
ate rapidly from sudden dis
aster has many times been
illustrated, but never more vividly
than in the case of Galveston. Swept
two years ago by a hurricane and tidal
wave that reduced to ruins large per-
centage of it's most pretentlous busi-
ness institutions and homes. with
frightful loss OF life, that beautiful city
promptly set about the work of re-
demption, and now a special issue Of
the Galveston News tells something Of
the story of its success.
To guard against a recurrence of that
type OF disaster, the county of Gal
weston has bonded itself in $l,5OO,OO to
build u concrete sea wall around the
entire hllf front of the city. The wall

be explained, is not to be ON the top
of this wall, but on the paved filling
behind the wall, which is to be 15O feet
wide. The completion of this UNDER
taking is expected within eighteen
months. and 1t will absolutely assure

SONG OF THE sELIM's SWORD.

The marvellous ore that gave me birth
For ages slumbered, awaiting the flower
OF the perfect and predestined hour
When, fused by the vital force of fire,
l should shape to thing for mans de-
sire.
BY many hand was I gripped and
swung
Where the press of battle ragged and
rung;
And ever, although my CLEAN was fair,
Death lowered where was poised in air;
But never tasted the wine of bliss
TIL Selim grasped me and claimed me his.
At his touch am like the lightning made,
And the fiercest foemen flee. afraid;
Deeply his vengeance-lust l slake;
Safely he sleeps, for ever wake;
And l lSindle and thrill with more than

report upon commercial con-

was prepared especially for Dun's by

litical motive or bias.

cost of production, land prospects for
the coming year are very gloomy, un-
less treaty of reciprocity be author
lied at the next session of the Ameri-
can congress-" Tobacco growers have
not made a profit in several years past,
large proportion of the heavy ad-
vances made to cane and tobacco
planters has not been collected and the
amount of outstanding debts due mer-
chants is, says the report, probably
larger than ever before in the history
of the island. A majority Of the mer-
chants of the island are owing past due
debts and many are insolvent. Though
great leniency has been shown to debt
ors, failure are rapidly increasing. The
report continues:
Credit is being steadily curtailed by
jobbers and retailers. and bankers have
been calling in loans for several months
past and making comparatively few
new ones, although little difficulty is
experienced in lending money on good
collateral at 10 and 12 per cent. A
comparatively small quantity of cane
has been planted this year, and, as the
majority of planters have been unable
to obtain funds to work the fields, the
present crop yield will probably be
smaller than last year, the reduction
by some being estimated at from 20 to
20 per cent. The number of unem-
ployed in all parts of the island is very
large, but they appear to be pacifically
disposed. In Havana several public
works have been resumed or inaugurat-
ed in order to give employment to a
portion of the army Of idle men who
have publicly clamored for work"
TO meet temporarily this abnormal
and discouraging situation President
Palma and his advisers are proposing
to pass a bill increasing from so to 100
per cent. the duties on articles of food:
but this will simply increase the public
hardship and possibly hasten the eX-
pected uprising of discontented ele-
ments. All of these conditions would
have been averted and our own COM
mercial interests benefited had con-
gress, or more especially little knot
of Republican kickers, needed the coun-
sci of Presidents Mckinley and Roose-
Welt and enacted reciprocity with Cuba.
Their default in an obvious national
duty has added page of shame to the
American record that cannot too soon
be recalled and erased.

Vienna a company which,
assuming that it Is able to
carry out its agreements,
should prove very popular. We should
imagine that it might do a landoffice
business in Scranton. 1t is called the
Manufacturers Strike Insurance COM
pany, and it proposes to insure employ
ers against losses arising from strikes.
AS explained by the Rochester POST
Express, the premium to be paid is
based upon the hazard disclosed by the
official statistics OF strikes in Austria
between 1891 and 1897. 1t is said that the
number of men engaged in strike was
10000 year, and that there We're AGO.
600 days of idleness. The premium has
been fixed at four-tenths of per cent.
OF the declared pay list for the year.
A rebate of 25 per cent. is granted for
long contracts and in business subject
to slight risk of strike. In order not
to encourage strikes, full indemnity
for losses will not be paid. Only part
of the actual losses of the firm during
a strike will be paid, and this part will
amount 10 only One-TalI OF tne regis
tered wages of the strikers. The pay
ment will be for only three months for
single strike, and for only six months
in year. 1t will then be made only
upon the report of a committee that
the strike was unjustihable. This COM
mittee will consist of from nine to fif-
teen members. Upon the outbreak of a
strike, II will promptly investigate the
trouble, The employer will be obliged
to put 1t in possession of all the infor-
nation he has about the cause, and
about the negotiations between him
and his employees. The committee has
the right to undertake to compose the
differences. In case 1t finds the strike
unjustifable, II will order the payment
of the indemnity
The loss which Is not in any degree
reimbursed by this plan Is that sus-
tained by the butcher, baker and can
dlestck maker-the great body of neu-
trails upon whose backs ultimately the
whole burden falls. The manufacturer,
after the strike is over. has always the
possibility before him OF charging back
upon the consumer the strike expenses,

his duty in the light of such proceed
ings as are reported in last evenings
Truth and Times to have taken place
in the vicinity of Maltby.
For two weeks the colliery at that
place operated by the Lehigh Valley
Coal company had been working. Yes
terday morning a mob started for the
colliery for the avowed purpose Of
forcibly interfering with the men at
work in it,. According to the published
dispatches, they succeeded in putting
the sheriff and six deputies to flight
and in preventing 140 men who wanted
to return to work from doing so. But
that did not satisfy the mob. Its blood
was up, and, meeting two men ap-
preaching along the railroad track,
armed with guns, it proceeded to at
tack them. The result of its onslaught
was that one of these men was dubbed
to death and the other is In the hos
pital, in the shadow of death, perhaps
by this time dead.
The mob evidently thought that these
two men were officers of the law and
therefore good prey. 1t turns out that
they We're strikers, Fastening to take
hand in the shindy. What they got
from their fellow strikers was what
they had set out to infict upon men
willing to work. They fell victims to Il
misunderstanding.
If this tragedy. taken in connection
with others of its kind which have oc-
CURED and are occurring in various
parts of the coal fields. has any mean
ing for the duly constituted peace off,
GERS of the commonwealth, from the

come for more vigorous assertion and
enforcement of the majesty of the law.
When even union men are not safe
from the mob spirit which this strike
in certain localities has cngendered, 1t
is futile to look for peace while the law
itself is not asserted.
If instead of hunting for some in
tangible legislative scheme to pull the
