Kaiser and Children.

Recently the Kaiser and Kaiserin
visite1 Saarbrucken to unveil a statue
In that town, their little daughter,
Princess Louise, being left in the
meantime in the royal car at the rail-
way station. A beautiful bouquet of
flowers had been brought for presen-
tation to the little princess by three
small girls, who looked very disap-
pointed at the absence of the little
Louise. The Kaiserin, who noticed it,
at once ordered that the children
should be driven to the railway station
to deliver their present. They found
the Princess Louise at supper, and one
of the children described how she had
spilled some egg and cocoa on her
white frock. She was very friendly
and pleased, and talked as though she
had known them ever so long"
The Empress, too" the girl relates,
was very kind to US at once, and
said Little girls, when you come to
Berlin, you must really and truly come
to see US. Promise me that you will
come And the little princess also
said we must come. The Emperor
shook hands with US, and when he
squeezed my hand a bit 1 squeezed
back, and he laughed and put his other
hand on top of it. Then both the EN-
peror and Empress kissed US, and the
Emperor said: We'll, little girls, l
think my daughter must make you a
pretty present in return for your beau
tiful flowers When we had left. and
stood on the platform watching the
train move off. the Emperor and EN-
press and the princess looked out, nod
ding and waving good-by till the train
disappeared-Hou

HARVEST SHOWS FARM WEALTH
Railroad People Give Figures Illus
trating Nations Grain Production.

h01lrOau fcOplc UlVc Figures 1lIuS-
trating Nations Grain Production.
The American farmer is an exceeding
~ prosperous individual, according to
railroad statisticians, who have figured
out that the grain traffic for this crop
year will aggregate 100000 carloads.
If all this grain could be marketed sim
ultaneously and hauled in a single solid
train Of freight cars the train would be
1881 miles long, exclusive of the loco
motives that would be necessary to
move it.
Dividing this into trains of forty cars
each, there would be required 1880 To-
comotives or 355 miles of draught ma
chinery. Adding this 355 miles to the
1881 miles of cars, there is a total OF
1926 miles
To hold the cars and engines it would
require nearly every foot of four tracks
extending from New York to San Fran
cisco. The necessary single track would
measure half the circumference Of the
globe.
These figures do not fully tell Of the
vastness of the wealth which the Ameri-
can farmer has taken from his land in
corn, oats, wheat. barley and rye in the
year 1905. TIE railroad mems estimates
are confined to the grain which will be
moved to market centers on the steam
roads. Probably not over one-third of
the grain produced will ever see a freight
car. The other two-thirds will be haul
ed to local mills in wagons or will be
consumed by live stock on the farms. To
hold the entire corn crop alone would
call for train and engines q, 900 miles
In length.
In this story Of agricultural treasure
lies the reason for the unparalleled prep
arations of the western railroads for
traffic this season. If the farmer were
not already we'll supplied with ready
money and were forced to rush his grain
to market, as he has done in past years,
it Is reasonable to suppose the railroads
would be utterly swamped with grain
traffic.
The statisticians estimate the wheat
and oats crops of Minnesota and the Da-
kotas at 326,OOO,0O0 bushels, of which
100000 bushels will be marketed on
steam roads. They place the total yield
Of corn at 1850, 100000 bushels, and ex-
pect that 7S6,OOO,OO0 bushels will be
hauled on freight trains greater or less
distances. Granting that these figures
are correct, there will be 173, 900 carloads
Of wheat and oats from the three States
mentioned, or 1926 trains of forty cars
each. The estimate for corn is 10000
carloads, or 10000 trainloads of forty
cars each. On top of this there proba-
bly, will be 1900 carloads of faxseed to
be hauled from the Northwest.
To haul the 100000 cars estimated
for all kinds of grain, there would mean
q movement of a hundred trains of forty
cars each for every day of the year.

FROST NlPS WESTERN CROPS.
Visits the Rocky Mountain Districts
and Missouri Valley Regions.

The weekly bulletin of the weather
bureau summarizes crop conditions as
follows:
Temperatures favorable for the matur-
ing Of crops prevailed in all districts
east of the Rocky mountains during the
week except in the northern portions of
the upper Missouri and upper MISSISSIPPI
pi valleys and in northern New Eng
lan1, where it was somewhat too cool.
Scattered frosts, causing damage, occur
red in the central and northern Rocky
mountain districts and in the upper Mis-
souri, valley during the latter part of the
week. The greater part Of Texas, por-
tons of Kansas and Missouri, and the
north Pacific coast continue to need rain.
Corn has advanced rapidly and much
of the early crop over the southern por-
ton of the corn belt is being cut.
Considerable overripe spring wheat re-
mains uncut on flooded lowlands in
northern Minnesota and eastern North
Dakota, and moisture has injured grain
In shock in portions Of South Dakota
and Iowa.

ELECTRIC PLOW PROMISED.
Trolley System Is to Be Applied tt
Breaking Farm Land.

Breaking Farm Land.
A Minneapolis machinery company has
under construction the working parts of
an invention that may prove to be the
working Of revolution in the matter of
breaking ground on bonanza farms, Of
which there are so many In the North
west, and which may be used even on
smaller farms wherever there is an en-
CINE handy that can be put to the use
intended.
The idea Is no less than to pillow the
fields by electricity, by the use of an cleo
tric plow. The plow itself is to be op-
Grated by electric power, and is a large
gang affair which will turn over a wide
piece of earth. ) threshing engine is to
be used to furnish the electricity, dyna-
mo to be attached.
The pillow is to be run by trolley, the
wire to be run from the working dynamo
to the farthest corner of the field. The
pillow picks up the wire as it runs. and
when it arrives at the far end of the field,
an easy arrangement alters the position
of the feed wire SO that the whole field
can be reached in that way.
It is claimed for the new idea that it
will be a most wonderful labor saver,
and that it will do wonders in the way of
speed, running about four times as rap
iGly as horses can pull plow of the
same kind. It will also be much more
handy than steam, because Of the fact
that steam machines Of that kind are so
heavy that they are unwieldy and cut
into the field, especially when the ground
Is soft.
It is claimed that if the plow works
reasonably well, the same idea can be put
to use in working harvesters and other
farm machinery, which will do away with
the necessity of having SO many horses to
feed all through the year, when less
would be necessary under the trolley sys-
tenn.

EsklMOS REUNITED TO WORLD.
Those of Grecn1and's East Coast Again

Those of GrecnIand's East Coast Again
in Touch with Civilization.
The Eskimos of the east coast of
Greenland have been reunited to the
world, after having forgotten, perhaps
for many years, the little they ever
kn<sw Of it, says the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. The Danish supply steam
ship Godthaab has returned to Copen-
hagen from visit to Angmagsalik, a
station established by the government
for the purpose of improving the con-
dition Of the Greenland natives and
developing a trade with them. 1t is an
interesting enterprise, because Den
marks dealings with aboriginals are
humaniZing and philanthropic, and the
material it had to deal with here was
in its natural condition.
AS far as is known. the natives Of
into contact with the white race until
twenty years ago, when they were dis
covered by Capt. Holm. Danish eX-
plOrer 1t was six years later before
anything more than fragmentary infor-
nation about them was given out, and
tPen Denmark published a sumptuous
work in three volumes devoted to the
people and their habitat. Probably no
other book so exhaustive and costly
has ever been printed about handful
of primitive people. They numbered
only 54S when they were discovered.
The supply steamship reports at
Copenhagen that the East Greenland
station is in thriving condition. 1t has
simply transformed the life Of the ma
tives. They have knives, timber. metal
points for their harpoons and hun
dred comforts and conveniences they
never knew before. The Danish gov
eminent buys their oils. furs, skins
and feathers. The station takes every
thing they have to sell in exchange for
the commodities they require.
A way has been found around the
glaciers jutting out into the sea which
so long barred attempts to travel
around the south end Of Greenland. A
few parties have made sledge jour-
neys to the Eskimo settlements of the
west coast, and some of them have set
tied there. They have never heard Of
spirituous liquors.
They are pure-blood Eskimos. the
only unmixed natives in Greenland, eX
ceptfng in the Smith sound region; but
their features are thinner and longer
than those Of other Eskimos, and they
are little taller than those of the
west coast. They have the dimmest
tradition that their fathers came from
the north, and considerab Bile evidence
has accumulated pointing to the prob
ability that they are the descendants
Of natives who reached northwest
Greenland from the archipelago north
of our continent and then skirted the
north and east coasts Of Greenland to
their present abode.
