1t Is remarkable fact that wages in Euro
pean Russia little, if anything, better than in
Asiatic Japan. English Consul Wardrop gives an
account OF rates paid in the home industries of
the government of Simbirsk. There are 1919 per-
sons in the province engaged in supplementary
occupations and their average annual earnings
are about $50 head. 1t will be understood that
factory owners recruiting their labor from such
sources and protected by high tariffs have had
every opportunity for making large profits

For twentyfour hours the steamer Graf
Wadersee drifted at the mercy of hurricane
which struck it during the transatlantic voyage
which the steamship finished few days ago.
On arrival at the pier in New York IL hours late
the passengers held reception to thank Captain
A. Krech for bringing them safely through the
greatest storm experienced in the history of the
Graf Waldersee, and probably one of the worst
ever faced by Atlantic liner. The storm be-
gan on the morning of August, and in few hours
waves were rolling over the ship All passengers
were locked beneath decks and bags of oil were
hung over the ships sides for thrty-six hours
as a protection. During twenty-four hours the

An almost incredible story of wanton outrage
comes from Thale in tie Hartz mountains. Sew
eral young ladies belonging to Berlin, who are
spending holiday in the district, were lying in
hammocks suspended from the trees in the forest
adjoining the little town, when suddenly two
young gentlemen clad in hunting dress appeared
upon the scene. One of these deliberately, and
for no accountable reason, at once raised his gun
and took aim at a young lady, and before she
could do anything to avoid the charge, fired the
contents of barrel into the hammock. The
sportsmen then disappeared apparently enjoying
the affair great joke, but it has been dlscov-
cred that the leading actor in the wanton outrage
was the Earon Won Der Busche-Streithorst. The
unfortunate victim Immediately conveyed

whereas the inner tube of the English gun is
solid forging the tube of the American gun con-
sists of number of steel sheets, each one-seventh
of an inch thick. Around these is wound twenty
one miles of square steel wire, oneseventh of
inch in diameter. The tension of this wire is SO
great that the inner tube is compressed to the
point where it can not be overcome by the eXplO-
sion of gunpowder. The gun is SO strong there

be placed in it-athough it's powder cham

The largest stock ranch in Oregon, and one
o. the largest in the United States, where 10000
head OF cattle and 1000 horses have been handled
annually for years, will be converted into
homes for 10000 people, if the plans Of the Co.
operative Christian Federation are carried to sue
cess. This FrenchGlenn ranch in Harvey county,
comprising 1C40O0 acres, has been sold for 81 S0O-
600. 1t appears that the Mormons were anxious
to get this property but the Cooperative Chris
tian Federation outbid them. This ranch in east
ern Oregon was developed by Peter French and
his partner, who began in small way as early
as 1872 French killed in one of the range
wars with small stockmen, and the death of Glenn
followed few years later from natural causes
Their heirs organized California corporation
that has since operated the property. This will
be the first of the big ranches of the Northwest
to be cut up for homes for settlers. 1t is
located about 1000 feet above the level of the
sea, and the climate is very similar to that Of
like attitudes in Colorado and Nevada with
superabundance of sunshine. In winter there is
some extreme cold, but usually not prolonged
and without the severity of the billiards. which
sweep the great plains. Railroad connections are
about $50 miles away from the ranch, and it's
new owners hope that line will be carried to
them. The property is 60 miles long by miles
wide and already has more than 500 miles of
fencing The price offered for the land is $40
an acre, with 100000 for personal property and
this is called low valuation.

insects, had made its appearance in America.
cargo of the flies has been shipped to this coun-
try from Japan, and as soon as it arrives the
flies will be liberated to breed. portion OF
them will be sent to Denver. The flies are
not dangerous to human beings or to valuable
plants, but are, the contrary highly beneficial,
they lie almost entirely caterpillars. The
Tachina fly is named because Of its swiftness
in flight. In appearance it is similar to the Ordi-
nary house fly, except that it is larger and the
body is covered with bristes 1t is about
half inch in length with large wings. The larvae
are external parasites of other insects The man
ner of their destruction of the moths is fol-
lows: The female fastens her eggs to the skin
of a caterpillar. When the larvae hatch they
bore their way in the body of their host and live
there until they are full grown when they be-
gin their process of transformation, thereby de-
stroying the life of the caterpillar The fly is
very rapid BREEDER many 10000 eggs hav

Figures obtained from commercial sources
indicate that the total available supply of cotton

supply in 1904 of 10,0967 7O7 bales and in 1908 of
1t,739,S77 bales. The amount of cotton brought
into sight during the month of June totaled 475-

If all the cereal grains now existing were to
vanish from the earth in the present year others
could be brought into being in surprisingly
short time by the scientific propagation and i'm
prcVement of species of grasses which at present
are neglected. Several of our native grasses
might, it is believed, be made to serve in this
way-notably three four of the panic grasses"
(genus Pancum), which are related not distant
y to the broom corn millet grown largely for
human food in Russia 1t is wonderful what can
be accomplished in the development of a grass
for the production of cereal grain simply by the
application of well understood methods of selec-
tion and propagation Maize originally, it is sup
posed, looked not very different from any ordi-
nary grass Where it had it's origin is not known
WITH certainty, though probably it was in the
highlands of Central America and in rather re-
strcted area The aboriginal people took it up
and cultivated it, selecting from year to year
plants that bore the largest ears, and hundreds
OF years before Columbus landed on the shores
of America Indian had become much like
what it is today and crown for food all over
the eastern part of the United States.
