Potatoes in Germany.

There is a potato question in Germany.
caused by overproduction. Germany s
potato crop is now nearly 1.60a go 900
bushels a year. more than five times the
crop OF the United States.
In many rural sections of the empire
the people live mainly on potatoes and
coffee Almost seven-eighths of all the
alcohol produced in Germany is obtained
prom potatoes. Potato distilleries are
found on many OF the large farms. and
are worked under close government regu-
lations Besides this. Germany's potato
crop enters extensively into the manu-
factWe OF starch. glucose. &c.
Nevertheless. there are too many po-
tatocs- in the kaisers domain. and the
Agrarians are much concerned to nud q
way 10 dispose OF them Many prizes are
being offered 10 any ingenious person
who can discover new and useful ways
of using potatoes.
our consul at Leipsic mentions q re-
port that a German has discovered e.
chemical preparation which. poured over
potatoes. will preserve them ga good con-
dit.on for years. II this is true il WIFI
be OF Importance 10 all countries. and
especially 10 those which. like England
are dependent upon sea-borne food sup
plies Il would enable than u keep "A
large stock OF preserved potatoes on
hand as an insurance against famioc in

Roosevelt Popular Abroad.

Victor G. Fischer. the are expert and
connoisseur, has just returned 10 Wash
ington from a three-months' sojourn in
Europe. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Mr.. Fischer spent month or tow in
Germany and Holland. He says that
President Roosevelt is tremendously pop
ular in both those countries. Il met.
while in Frankfort, Germany" he said.
the president of 4 concern that prints
nearly all the fancy and souvenir postal
cards used on the continent. He told me
that he had been selling for some time
a very handsome postal card with PTesi-
dent Roosevelts head engraved on it,
You have no idea. he said how great
the demand is for that card. During
the present year l sold 1l.o0o postal cards
bearing the imprint OF the German en-
peror. Next IN the list came President
Roosevelt's card. Of which ! sold $500
disposed of eco cards bearing the
imprint OF King Edward VII So you
see that the American chief executive
ranks next in popularity 10 the kaiser
in the German empire. I predict that il

ceive a most unprecedented welcome.

bringing extraordinary prices abroad.

letter is characteristic Of the president.
Il seems that he had been asked 10 give
pledges to New York state political lead
ers in regard to the retention Of n man

The Reaction in Russia.
CFrom Golfers Weekly.D


De Plehye. the reactionary. and not
De Witte. the former finance minister
who was promoted upstairs now rules
Russia. De Witte wanted foreign capt.
tai, foreign enterprises and foreign meth
DDS of industrial development. De Plehve
thinks such dangerous to an autocratic
state. Recently a high Russian official
candidly advised all American business
men to keep out OF Russia. AS the re
suit of De Whites progress. Russia finds
herself with 1000. 900 semi educated work
men on her hands. These are more or
less in open revolt against existing con
ditions. They have received theid ideas
from abroad. and more especially from
the Americans
Your American workmen are too pro
greessive to mingle with ours" said =
high Russian official TO an American who
had capital 10 invest. we are content
to remain as we are, and for that reason
a policy of gradually awakening Ameri-
cans in Russia to this fact has been put
into effect. Our workingmen are learning
20 organize. For the next few years,
until their exact pOsition-a new prob
lem to us-is defined. we wish no foreign
enterprises that will tend to spread new
ideas exploited. Once more in conserva-
tive hands. the government discourages
for the present. any further investment
of American capital unless placed entirely
in Russian hands"
The truth of this is borne out by the
fact that at the American locomotive
works on the Volga. and IN several OF
the great American machine shops Of st

MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY.

Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
The world upside down shall be
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under the water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found in stone,
In land that's now unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew.
And this world TO an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-oEe.

Enolish and American Roads.
In Kansas.

! One reason for the rapid advance of
American industries and the relatively
| slow progress of Britain in the same re-
spect is the cheapncss OF freight rates on
this side of the water and their expen-
siveness upon the other.
The London Outlook reckons that the
English railway systems total only 22.o00
miles. Yet this comparatively small mile
age is the property of 80 companies.
more than half of which have their sepa-
rate administration and executive. The
others are el 'saed and worked lines" Al
lotting an average of eight directors
apiece TO each of the 20 independent
companies, the English railways support
/, 900 directors. whose fees can hardly be
less than 81 $50 a year.
The railroads of India cover a mileage
of about 5000. Yet Mr.. Thomas Robert
son, the expert who has recently re-
ported 10 the British government on In
dian railway administration. says that
the task Of supervising the lines of that
vast country might safely be intrusted
to a board of three qualified men. assist
ed by a secretary. a chief inspector. and
number of inspectors and auditors.
Three experts, with a small staff, are con-
sidered by Mr.. Robertson capable Of
performing duties of about the same
character as those for which in England
are employed LOCO amateur directors. with
theier secretaries and assistant secreta-
ries accountants, auditors, clerks, mes
sengers. &c.
If only half the sum OF 81 $50, 900 a
year paid away annually in fees to rail
way directors were available for a cen
tralized railway board, it would be posi-
BILE to attract the ablest men by offer
ing the largest known scalaries, and yet
make a saving.
The saving by standardization" is also
to be considered. The Hartman roads,
1000 miles, are TO unity their machinery
so that all parts of rolling-stock shall
be interchangeable
The consolidation of American roads
has gone much further than in Britain.
The Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania systems
contain about 10000 miles each. either one
of them nearly equalling the 22.000 miles
of all England. And though the indi-
vidual roads in these systems have in
some cases their separate boards. these
usually consist Of practically the same
men. Many important lines are also
leased and worked" Against the 30
systems of %, 600 mies-less than 100 miles
to a line-in England. the Vanderbilt ana
Pennsylvania systems include together
less than twenty component lines. or an
average Of more than 1000 miles per
line The longest single line in the
United States, the Southern Pacific. has
over $3.50 miles OF track.
