and to these there has been from
time to time added new structures, but
there has never been any attempt made
at the construction of a group of build
ings that would in every way fit the
needs of the service.
When during the civil war, the
academy was moved from Point Severn
to Newport, r. l., it was thought by
friends of the naval service that with
the coming of peace it would be posi-
bic to secure new academy buildings,
but the thought was groundless, and in
1866 the school was moved back to the
old buildings again. Time after time
has an effort been made to secure an
appropriation from congress for an en-
tire new group Of buildings for the
school, but it was not until 1898 that the
appropriation was finally secured, and
the work begun.
Eight million dollars will be spent in
constructing the new buildings of the
academy. many of which are already
under way, and some of which are prac
tically completed The plan of the
building as viewed from the sea front
shows the cadet quarters extending 1923
feet, fanked on one side by the armOry
and on the other by the boat house
These buildings are at right angles to
the direction of the cadet quarters, are
42S feet long and similar in appearance.
They are connected by colOnnades with
the quarters This gives from the sea
a harmonious group of buildings eX-
tending in a northeasterly and south
westerly direction for 1928 feet, with
| the high roof of the main building of
the cadet quarters as a center. Thir-
| teen hundred feet in northwesterly d.

the center and balancing the group to
the southeastward. Between these

Running COUNTRY STORES.
Rural Free Delivery Making Farmers
Too Lazy 10 Call at the Grocery.

There comes a plaintive wall from
the keepers of country stores in
small bergs and crossroad hamlets OF
Livingston county, New Norn, against
the rural free delivery OF mails. The
storekeeperS say that the free
delivery system is making the farmer
lazier every day, while it is doing
much to drive the country store out
of existence.
They say that under the influence
of the free-delivery system the farm
er no longer bitches up his horses to
come down to the post office; that
he gets his mail dumped at his door,
and as a consequence of this in
iquitOus system the grangers no
longer go to their former gathering
places nor spend their spare cash
with the storekeeper. as they were
wont to do in the good old times"
before the gaudy mail wagon made
its daily rounds.
The storckeepers have also con-
ceived a special grievance over re-
cent order promulgated by the post
Office department instructing post
masters throughout the country to
prepare lists of the rural free-deliv-
cry routes and post them in conspicu-
GUS places in their offices.

WHERE WOMEN MAY VOTE.
One Triumph for Them in the East
ern and One in the Western
Hemisphere.

The advocates of woman suffrage are
able to record two recent triumphs, one
in the eastern and the other in the west
ern hemisphere, says the Baltimore
American. In the next election for
members of both the upper and lower
chambers of parliament of the Aus
tralian commonwealth women will be
allowed to vote. They will also be
eligible for seats in both houses. They
have had the full parliamentary suf-
frage in New Zealand for ten years. In
South Australia they have voted since
1896 and in West Australia since 1901.
So far as New Zealand is concerned
the admission of women to the fran
chise had no distinguishable effect on
the relative strength of parties. The
outcome of the experiment in the Aus
tralian commonwealth will, neverthe-
less, be watched with interest, be-
cause there the great majority of wom-
en- are said to be wage earners, and it is
possible that their votes may go en-
masse to the labor party.
In four American states women are
already entitled to a vote and it seems
probable that within a few years they
will gain the full franchise in three
other states, to-wit: Oregon, Washing
ton and South Dakota. In Oregon the
opposition to wOmen's rights has dwin-
died to a small fraction of what it was
in 1884 and the majority against con-
stitutiOnal amendment granting the
franchise to women was diminished in
the state of Washington from nearly 49,
400 in 1889 to less than $500 in 1898. In
South Dakota the majority against
woman suffrage, which in 1890 was
nearly $4,000, sank in 1898 to less than
/ $500.
Meanwhile, a partial suffrage has
been conceded to women in many parts
of the world Thus in England botf
married and single women have the
parish and district suffrage and in Ire
land women can vote for all office
holders except members of parliament
In Norway also they have the muniCipa
suffrage and in France they can vote fol
judges of the tribunals of commerce. II
Kansas women have the municipal fran
chise in Ohio, Connecticut and Della
ware the school suffrage; in Minnesot;
the right to vote for library trustee, ant
in Louisiana the right to vote upon al
questions submitted to taxpayers. OF
the other hand, it cannot be said tina
women are as near to acquiring the par
liamentary franchise in the United
Kingdom as they seemed some year
ago.

VICTOR HUGO'S HOUSE
The Old Mansion Has Been Pre-
scented to the City of Paris.
II VIII BE Maintained n Memorial
to the Great French Author
Filled with Interesting
CuriOs.

Visitors to Paris, especially those OF
literary proclivities, will hereafter find
a new point of special interest in the
mansion of Victor Hugo, which
through the generosity of the grand
children and near kin of the great
author, has been presented to the city
and will be accessible to the public as
a museum, to be maintained as spe-
cial memorial to the man whose works
have been more popular the world over
than those of almost any other French
writer. Thus Will France have a me-
mortal of her gifted son and one who
suffered so much in the cause Of lib
erty, similar to England's home OF
Shakespeare at Standardization, and
to Germany's home of Goethe at Wei
mar, which the poet occupied for 40
years.
The historic Hugo mansion, on the
Place des Vosges, is the one in which
the poet spent some of the most &C
tive years of his long and splendid
career in the world of letters. 1t is
nearly 20 years since deaths touch
stopped the vigorous brain ana pussy
hand of Victor Hugo, yet the cOndi-
ton of the mansion is much the same
as when he occupied it. In addition
to the furnishings of the house, which
are practically those which were in
use during the life of the poet, there
are many valuable souvenirs Of his
work, a library of 5000 volumes, and
a collection of the authors drawings
and wood carvings, besides gifts and
personal souvenirs, portraits in paint
ing and sculpture, and much else OF
an artistic and historic value. There
are also scattered about the spacious
rooms of the mansion many souvenirs
of Victor Hugo's friends, including
/ Lamartine, George Sands and the ell
der Dumas, consisting of inkwells
pens and letters. The room where the
author died is exactly as it was at the
time of his demise the furnishing OF

Fruit culture and bee culture have
both been recommended to the dis
tressed British agriculturist; and per-
baps the advice has sometimes been
supererogatory. 1t is permissible, how
ever, to draw attention to the way in
which the honey industry has advanced
in France during the last few years. In
ten years the output of honey has in
creased from 100000 each grammes to
$500. 900 kilogrammes. The increase is
due less to an increase in the number OF
hives than to the greater yield of each
hive, which has now risen to about SOC
grammes, or eleven pounds a hive
What is more gratifying Ito the French
producer) is that, owing to the scien.
tific methods of bee farming, the yield
each year has become more constant
and less affected by vicissitudes.-lllu

WATER SUPPLY OF PLANTS.
Tons of Moisture Absorbed by Cereals
During the Season of
Growth.

The quantity of water required by
quently overlooked. 1t is calculated
that a fair-sized leaf during the growing
season in the course of an hour evap-
crates a quantity of water equal to its
own weight Haberlandt has calculated
that, on the average, an acre of rye
during it's growth and development alb
serbs 334 tons of water, oats $40 tons
and wheat 4S9 tons. This water, sucked
or pumpedup by the roots from the soil,
traverses the tissues of the plant, de-
posting nutriment therein, and finally
is evaporated by the leaves. This proc
ess is called Transportation, says a sci
entific authority.
AS this supply of moisture is fur
nished by the water in the soil, it is nee
essary, in order that the plant can de-
velop itself normally, that the soil
moisture shall be equal at least to the
volume of water given off by the leaves
Should this balance be broken, the
leaves droop, become dried up, and fall
Not only does the plant languish dur
ing an insufficient supply of water, but
the energy of its chlOrOphyl-be
cells decreases. The assimilation OF
carbon ceases, and the growth of the
plant is stopped. 1t is the same in
stock-rearing; if badly fed, the animals
will be stunted.
OF course, the suns rays exercise ar
important influence on the transpira-
ton of the plant; it is ten times greater
In the presence of bright light than il
obscurity, and during dull, cloudy
weather the Transportation is one-halt
less than under the direct action of the
solar rays. The natural effort made by
the plant to assure itself against a de
fciency of soil moisture is by sending
its roots deeply into the soil.
A striking instance of this occurs
in plants in desert regions. The root
of these plants are of enormous length
Plants whose height above the surface
of the soil never exceeds four or fly,
inches have the root at the neck a
thick as a mans thumb tapering to tn
thickness of the little finger at dept
of six feet. 1t is to their deeply descend
ing rootlets that the plants of the deser
owe their existence, and are able t.
fight the burning heat, which woul
cause a branch of the same plant,
broken off, to fade in the course of
feu minutes
