a strictly outdoor life is desired, bulb

worn-out farm, the former owner OF
which had been fond of tulips ano
other flowers of the kind The gar
den was overgrown with bulbs, many
of them worthless, some valuable.
Fond of flowers herself, the teacher be-
gan to cultivate these, and at once it
occurred to her to sell some of them.
In few years she built up good
business. She has imported the best
Dutch bulbs and grows from them.
Her market is New York.

IN THE SToKE-HoLD OF A SHIP.

The work of eternally pushing the
old ship on past the meridians, the
race against time and the sun and the
interest on the money, begins in the
gloomy stoke-hold. You have heard
that the stoke-hold is hot. and when
you have clambered into it over dis
orderly piles of still smoking ashes,
tious hold of burning hand-dails, and
stand for the first time face to face
with the furnaces, you feel assured of
the fact. But besides being hot, it is
the most active. interesting part of the
ship. 1t is her whole life. You must
spend years studying it before you
can stand there in command of your
watch with your hand on the feed
check-valves, your eyes on everything
in general, and keep the steam up
where it belongs in spite of the raven
Gus engines sucking it away from you;
years before you can tell, in one swift
glance, whether a fireman is burning
the greatest possible amount of coal
per hour in his fires with the least
amount of waste. The problem is
this; under a certain large quantity
of water, which is continually chang
ing, build 80 fires; and by means Of
them, Notwithstanding they must all
be continually replenished with fresh
coal and freed from ashes, keep it at a
perfectly even temperature (within a
very few degrees) day and night for
an indefinite period. The game is
the more interesting because a ship
an never afford to spare more than
ust barely enough space for her pro-
polling machinery; consequently every.
thing-engines, boilers, furnaces
must be worked to the very limit of
their capacity. The game goes as
regularly by turns and in cycles as
progressive whist. Starting with a
few fires first in order, the doors are
opened to admit few shovelfuls of
coal thrown quickly into the front of
the furnaces, then closed again as
soon as possible lest too much cold
air should enter. As soon as they are
closed the fires next in order are
served the same way. and then third
group. Next the green" coal in the
first fires is raked back through the
furnaces to complete its combustion.
After another short interval it is nee
essary TO slice" them-that is. probe
them with long pointed bars to lift
the clinkers from the CRATES and make
air-passeges. Finally it is time to
stoke again.-Benjamin Brooks in the
April Scribner's.

WHERE is THE WORLD GOING?
California Astronomers GO to Chill in
Search Of the Earth's Destination.

An Importance which relatively
few persons are aware of attaches to
an expedition which has just gone to
Chill from the Lick observatory in
| California. It's object is to find out
whittier we are all bound.
Everybody has heard that the
solar system is flying swiftly toward
the north. IL is a plunging flight that
carries us more than forty-three
thousand miles straight through the
earth every hour of the day and
night. 1t is a motion that has moth
| ing to do with the earth's annual
revolution about the sun, except as
lit prevents that revolution from
carrying the earth back turn and
turn to the same spot in space.
In truth. we never get back to the
same place. Every new year comes
in with the globe at a point more
than three hundred million miles
nearer to very bright northern star,
named Vega, than il was a year
earlier AS far as the evidence now
in hand goes, the fight of the sun
toward the north is as straight as
that OF an arrow, but the path de-
scribed by the earth, since it is COM
PEELED all the while TO circle round
and round the flying sun, is a great
spiral
And thus we sweep onward, moving
continually into new regions, running
through what perils nobody can guess
perhaps none at all-and impelled
by a force as mysterious as that
which drew the unfortunate ship in
the .-rabiam Nights to be wrecked on
the mountain of Adamant.
1t is this strange voyage of the sun
and its worlds through the unex,
plored ocean of immensely that the
California astronomers have gone to
South America to investigate.
Now, the precise object of the ex-
petition to Chilli is to examine the
light of the southern stars from
which we are flying away. They
have been much less studied than
have the northern stars. to which we
are drawing nearer. 1t is as If the
people on the bow of ship. after
watching for long time the effects
of their approach to objects ahead.
should visit the stern in order to
note the recession of objects behind.
Through n combination of such oh
servations the speed and direction Of
the ships motion could be deduced.
But there are many other absorb
Iingly interesting questions relating
to the organization of the universe.
and our place and rank in it, which
will be brought nearer to solution by
the success of the exploration of The
southern heavens. now beginning.

NEARING THE SOUTH POLE.
Antarctic Results Justify Great Ex-
penditure of the Royal Society.

Ii the expenditure of large sums in
Polar research Is ever advisable. the
great cost OF the expedition fitted out
in England chiefly through the
efforts of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, has already been justified by
the brilliant results of its first years
work. Very few explorers, either in
the Arctic or Antarctic regions. have
in a single year surveyed so great
an extent of coastline and revealed
the dominant features of so large an
area of new land.
Sixty-one years ago. Captain
James Ross discovered The high coas,
and the towering mountains of
Victoria Land. Ii was not seen again
for over half.centmy, though from
the time the world heard of this
Switzerland of Antarctica il was the
center of greater interest than any
other South Polar Land. So lorg a
line of continuous coast mad nowhere
else been found south of the Antarctic
circle. Following the coast to the
south, Ross attained the highest
point reached till Borchgrevink sur.
passed him in 1900 No other Polar
tract rose so high above the level of
the sea. II great Antarctic con-
tinent really exists. 1t was believed
that Victoria Land must be a part OF
it, For these and other reasons ex-
traordinary interest was aroused by
the departure of Captain Scott and
his comrades on the discovery in the
summer of 1901 TO renew the ex,
ploration of this mysterious land.
The news that the morning had
brought back shows that Victoria
Land is one of the greatest islands in
the world and it may prove to be of
continental dimensions. All signs
point to the probability that the
island or continent is continued far
to the south, and il may reach the
south pole or pass beyond IL. The
known north and south extent of the
east coast is more than two-thirds of
the length of Greenland. which now
ranks first among the great. islands.
The difficulties of Antartic ex-
ploration are greater than those in
the Arctic for various reasons, among
which is the entire absence of animal
life. TO supply fresh food for the men.

THE LATE GusTAvUS r. SWIFT.
And the Way in Which He Made His
Money.

During the first So years of his life
Mr.. Swift acquired but little wealth
but during those years he had beer
laying the foundation, consciously oil
unconsciously, for his subsequent phe
nomenal success. He had been OBJ
serving, thinking and accommodating g
stock of useful knowledge as well as
working.
When he came to Chicago in 1875
there were great packing establish
ments at the stock-yards, rich and
powerful, and the field seemed to be
completely filled. Any man of ordi
nary capacity and force with little
money would not have thought of ell,
tering it any more than he would have
thought of manufacturing iron and
steel to compete with Carnegie in
Pittsburg.
But Mr.. Swift saw an opportunity
and seized it without hesitation. Be
ginning with a small slaughter-house
at the stock-yards, where only a few
animals could be handled daily, he
developed his business with wonder
full rapidity, and almost before his
great competitors knew what he was
doing he was abreast of them.
This was not mere luck. Mr.. Swift
not only knew the business as it was
then done, from buying to marketing,
but he had ideas of his own. He
knew that in the preparing of animals

of waste. 1t was part of his plan to
save what was then wasted. So sue
cessful was he that four years ago he
was able to say: mot hair of beef
is wasted, and the hogs are all used
except the grunt,"
! A man who could keep at the front
in the matter of by-products had a
great advantage as a competitor in the
main product. He could sell the lat
/ ter on a very narrow margin, and still
make good profits.
| Mr.. Swift had other ideas. One of
them was that the markets for meats
could be supplied far better and more
! economically if suitable provision
were made for preserving the product
/ in transit and storage. He was pre-
eminently the man of the Refrigerator
car and warehouse. AS a result OF
his efforts in this field fresh meats
can be carried almost any distance in
any climate and laid down in perfect
condition where they are wanted.
Another fact, and one specially
worthy of remark, is that Mr.. Swift
was not a Spectator in any objection
able sense of the word. He was in.
deed a good judge of market condi.
tons. He could forecast as well as
any of them. He acted with an eye
on probable future conditions. So far
he was a Spectator, as every prudent
buyer and seller must be, but he was

He achieved his remarkable success

A wHEELeARRow EPISODE.
Jessie Ac<ermann's Amusing Ex-
perience During Her Travels.

Writing in the Housekeeper OF the
many strange modes of transports
ton she has employed during her
worldwide travels, Jessie Ackermann
says:
At some time or other it has been
my lot to employ practically every
mode of transportation in existence.
In America we hardly realize the
fatigue and hardships inseparable
from journeys along untrodden paths
in China, Africa and other regions
where the shrek of the locomotive is
rarely heard. What would the
American woman who regards even
a one hundred mile journey in a

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP IN

New York's Mayor Advocates Citys

Having Its Own Lighting Plant.
The question OF government owner
ship has come up in acute form in
New York city. The mayor of that
large town is a person of most CON
sentative mind who believes that he
is living in the best possible worlu
and that the right of private owner
ship is probably traceable to a divine
origin. Yet even Mr.. Low has not
been so bewildered by the fear that
a community can never do anything
for Itself, as not to see the folly of
paying about half as much more for
street lighting as 1t would cost under
the most improvident public owner
ship. He has gone to the length OF
advocating that the city build ana
operate its own electric plant and
has been able to cite instances of
public ownership of similar. plants in
other cities which have greatly
benefited the public treasury. The
officials of the gas company which
has been gouglng New York for
years offer the objection to the
mayors plan that the examples of
public ownership which he cites have
not been profitable" That is, they
have paid no dividends.
But that is exactly the point in
favor of public ownership of these
plants. The difference between the
cost of producing the electric light
and the charge to the public, which
now finds its way into enormous
dividends for the stockholders. would,
