New York Commercial.
The rumored plan to turn over the Van

to the Pennsylvania at the annual meeting
of the stockholders on next Wednesday
has been denounced by Senator Chauncey
NJ. Depew entirely without basis in fact
II can assert with the utmost confidence"
said DR.. Depew to-day. that the New
York Central will never be transferred to
the Pennsylvania long as railroads are
in existence, or at least until there is some
great natural disturbance which will
change entirely existing conditions. The
lease of the New York Central by the Penn
sylvania is as improbable as is the lease of
the Pennsylvania by the New York Gen.
trail. and / feel safe in saying that the lat
ter thing is the more probable of the two.
LAS to the alleged dissatisfaction among
English stockholders, ! am in a position to
state positively that within the past week
or so the directors of the New York Gen.
trail have received proxies from every
holder of stock in the road in England,
and with the proxies also have received
assurances from the stockholders there of
the present management and the wish to
have the affairs of the road continued on
the same PLAN
The reports circulated regarding the
possibility of a transfer of the road by
lease to any other line and concerning a
change in the management were started
by bears In the stock market with the sole
purpose of aiding the bear market and
have no foundation"

Leased by the Rock Island.

The Rock Island Railroad Company, it is
reported on good authority. has leased from
the Santa Fe Railway the use of the
Hutchinson & Southern from Anthony.
Kan. to Hutchinson. and will make this
place the terminus of the Choctaw. Okla
homa & Gulf Railway. Eventually north
and-south line of railroad will be built
from Hutchinson, Kan. TO Belleville. Re-
public county, in the northern part of the
State, thus connecting with the Rock Island
main line with Denver. A quarter section
of land south of the Arkansas river has
been purchased by the Rock Island and
on this the roundhouse and terminals for
the Choctaw Railway will be built. II is
understood the lease of the Hutchinson &
Southern tracks is of short duration as
the extension Of the Choctaw to Hutchin-
son already has been surveyed. AS soon as
the roundhouse and terminals are COM

OZONE FOR SKYSCRAPERS.

How Fresh Air In Supplied In the
Modern Tall Buildings.
Hundreds of men and women are
boxed up all day long in little cages
on every floor of the modern office
building. Yet this mass Of huddled
humanity never suffers from any lack
of fresh air. The ventilation Is per-
feet, a fact which often surprises for
eign architects.
The delivery of fresh air into sky
scraper is as big busiess as the de-
livery Of water or electricity. 1t Is not
left to chance. Cold, fresh air is forced
into the building by blowing engine
and passes through large ducts and
controlling registers to the different
rooms. In winter this air Is heated
by passing through coils Of steam
pipes.
Often the blower is arranged to de-
liver both hot and cold air, and the
ducts are provided with mixing valves
which can be set to combine the two
blasts in any required proportion.
Thus one can have fresh air OF exact
ly the temperature called for by the
weather.
Bad air is got rid Of by wall regis
ters near the floor through which the
vitiated air escapes into ducts which
lead to a large common outlet above
the roof. These ducts may be Of sheet
iron or they may be Of tile built in
the wall like chimney fues. Some
times they are large spaces inclosed in
the upper parts Of the corridors by
false ceilings.
In other cases the bad air Is taken
to the basement and discharged by an
exhaust fan into q tall outside shaft
used for that purpose only.-New York
Press.

Religion and Potatoes.

This is a good deal of complaint about
potatoes rotting and in this connection
George S. Aver of Saco has novel
theory. He says that if it had not been
for the Millerite craze there wouldn't
have been any such thing as potato
rot.
1t was so years ago that the Millerites
determined that the world was coming
to an end some time in October. That
year there was great potato crop and
one argument used by the MilleriteS to
convert skeptics that the world was
coming to an end was that when the
Children of Israel were being fed by
mamma in the Wilderness they were
warned against picking up more of the
bread from heaven than they could eat
because it would rot and cause pesti-
lence. The abundant potato crop was
used as an argument in this line and
those who had raised more potatoes
than they could use were prevailed upon
to bring the surplus out from their Gel
lars and let them go to rot. Some Of
the believers that the end of all things
was at hand couldn't see what use they
would ever have for potatoes and they
let their whole crop rot. This, Mr..
Aver says, was the origin of potato rot.
which 80 years afterward is worrying
the farmers. Being well posted both
upon the Scriptures and potatoes, as
well as having a good recollection of the
Millerite craze, Mr.. Ayers theory is en-
titled to consideration.

Good Roads Once More.

More and more is the good road prob
lem being pushed to the front. 1t is n
discredit to our civilization that after
more than 200 years of settlement our
common highways should be found in
worse condition than those of half saw
age lands. While every other civilized
nation has made rapid strides in improv-
ing its roads we alone have remained
practically stationary. Our country
roads are no better than they were a
century ago. During large portion OF
the year they are totally unfit for travel
of any kind, while heavy commerce is
entirely out of the question. 1t causes
a loss of thousands of dollars annually
to our farmers, ard yet strange to say,
they are the ones who have most siren
uously opposed macadamizing our rural
roads. As other states are beginning to
wake up to the Importance of this sub
ject it is to be sincerely hoped that
Maine will fall into line. 1t is entirely
useless to talk about this reform being
carried out by the separate towns, as
they would be constantly working at
crosS-purposes. 1t must be dore by
centralized authority and this means the
State. The city taxpayers would then
be obliged to pay their share of the ex-
pense, but to their credit they have al
ways been willing to do this. 1t is for
their interest to have good roads. When
the farmer can bring two tons of produce
to market with a single horse in the
month of March or April it will be seen
that the interest is mutual one. The
cost of macadamizing the roads would
be but bagatelle as compared with the
benefits to be received. The automobile
is now rapidly coming into vogue, and
every owner of one of these vehicles
will soon be convert to the good roads
project. Finally it is demanded by the
whole interests of modern civilization.
In this age of progress we can no longer
afford to drag ourselves over rocks and
through mud in order to get back and
forth. This intensive age demands
something quicker and better. The
present condition is positive drawback
to our civilization and it is one that
should no longer be tolerated by think
ing people. Let us all shout for better
roads.-Lewiston Journal.

A Good Crop OF Corn and How We
Raised IL.

1t has generally been considered a
hard year for sweet corn. The spring
was very dry, the summer was wet and
cold and the early frost destroyed much
of the crop on the low land, SO the pack
is very small throughout the state. We
were among the favored ones that got
big crop for this year, and good crop
for any year.
We raised on two and one-half acres
and hauled to the corn shop enough to
come to one hundred and fifty-one dol
lars and fifty-two cents (Sl5l.52) besides
two dollars worth that we sold to other
parties.
HOW 1T WAS RAISED.
We broke up the ground in the fall.
We prefer to plough in the fall,
the soil works deeper, and if there is
any witch grass the roots are exposed to
the frost and are frozen out. Wespread
on what manure we made through the
summer, about thirty OK loads to the
ac-e as far as it went and narrowed it in
with spring tooth harrow. We prefer
to spread the manure on top of the fur
rows rather than plough it under. We
have tried both ways, but got the best
results by spreading on top. Where we
spread the manure in the fall we harrow
the ground well before winter. As soon
as we could in the spring and again just
before we planted it we narrowed ii
again. We followed the same course in
the spring. Spread on the winters ma
nure and narrowed it well before plant
ing. 1t is good plan to harrow all you
think is necessary and then go over it
once more.
We planted our corn the 18th and Goth
of May. The old rule to plant your corn
on the goth of May is good one. The
danger of frost after that time is no. &.
nearly as great as it is in September.
We used corn planter, and the hills
were eighteen inches apart. We put on
about 500 pounds of superphosphate to
the acre. Ten quarts of seed were used
to the acre.
When the corn was up so we could see
the rows we went through it with a
cultivator. We prefera cultivator to a
weeder. If we could have our choice
between a weeder and good industri
Gus hen with a flock of dozen chickens
to cultivate a corn field we would take
the ben every time. She would do bet
ter work and less harm than a weeder.
When the corn was 3 or inches high
we went over it again with the cultivator
and hoed it, before haying we went over
it again with the cultivator and hoe. At
the Secohd hoeing we thinned it out to
three or four stalks to the hill. 1t is
better to thin out your own corn rather
than to depend upon the crows.
About the tenth of July we went over
it again with the cultivator. After hay
ing we went through it and pulled out
the weeds that were left. We don't ex-
pect big pig weed and big ear of corn
in the same hill. The man 'rith the hoe
is very important factor in the corn
field.
Our corn was ready for the factory
about the goth of September. This is
the way we raised good crop of sweet
corn this year. If any one has a better
way or has made failure, these col
umns are open and his correspondence
is respectfully solicited.
