THE PRIMITIVE Cd iERVATORY OF
JEYPORE.

Jeypore is the pleasant healthy CAPT.
tai of one of the most prosperous in
dependent States of Rajputana, India,
and is very buss- and important
commercial town, with large banks
and other trading establishments. 1t
is q centre of native manufactures, es-
pecially those of many kinds of jew
elry and of eolored printed cloths and
muslins. The enameled work done
here is the best in India, and the cut
ting and setting of garnets and other
stones found in the State is a large
branch of industry. The crowded
streets and bazars are most lively and
picturesque. It is laid out in rectan-
gular blocks, and is divided by cross
streets into six equal portions. The
main streets are III feet wide and are
paved, and the city is lighted by gas.
The Maharaja's palace occupies the
centre of the city, which has a popu-
lation of about $4,000.
In Jeypore is the famous Jautra or
Observatory, the largest of the five
built by the celebrated royal astrono-
mer, Jey Sing, the founder of Jey-
pore. who succeeded the Rajas of Am
Der in 1893. Chosen by Muhammad
Shah to reform the calendar, his as

AN UNNOTICED SIXTY
MILLION DOLLAR WAR.
The Great German Empires Futile
Campaign Against the RsbellIous
Blacks in Southwest Africa.

The world has been so busily engaged
In watching the larger activities in
Manchuria that it has almost forgot
ten Germany's little campaign against
its rebellious subjects i'll Southwest
Africa 1t is, nevertheless, an interest
ing little quarrel, and not without in
structive features
The Herero revolt began in January,
1904. BY May of that year Germany
had 5000 troops engaged in trying to
suppress it. Up to the present time
she has sent out, all told, nearly $4,000
men. The Berlin correspondent of the
London Times reports to his paper that
ffty-nine officers have been killed in
action or haye died from disease,
while the tiles in the ranks are
given as 1894, including non-commis-
stoned officers In addition to these,
238 men have been sent home perma-
nently invalided The pecuniary cost
to Germany up TO the present time has
been about $60.000O0O And the end
is not yet.
The German Army is getting little
experience of the~same sort that Eng
land has had in Northern India, in the
Sudan, and with the blacks of South
Africa. The German War Office is not
extensively advertising the activities
of the campaign, and it is intimated
that there is no disposition to boast of
the military achievements. There are
unofficial rumors. amounting almost to
direct charges, that the British people
in Cape Colony and Bechuanaland are
going to aid the Herero insurgents
Such assertions are most unreasonable.
With 100000 blacks in her own South
African possessions, England could
take no more dangerous step than that
Of giving either aid or encouragement
to the blacks in the immediate neigh,
borhoOd. Herero success would al
most inevitably lead to unrest among
the blacks of the entire region, and
possibly to a serious uprising.
The struggle is one of great difficulty
for soldiers trained after the German
fashion. We are unable to say how
much of the area is covered by the
hostilities, but German Southwest
Africa is vast barren wilderness of
nearly $4,000 square miles, with a
population of about 100000 blacks
whose ability to jump from bush tc
bush and hill to hill is decidedly great
er than that of the German soldiery

ported that the Hereros were well
armed and well supplied with am

yet destitute of guns and bullets But
their strongest card is played in wear.

them into regions where they win sue

Had there been no war in Manchuria
we should probably have heard more
of this $60,O00,O00 tussle, which has
lasted twelve months, with no clear

FRUITFUL FURNACES.
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES PRECIOUS
STONES.

Scientists Rave Succeeded in PIuclxine
Real Diamonds and Rubies From the
crucible Of the Furnace.
Recent advices from France state
that Professor Moissan, the eminent
scientist and inventor, has actually
succeeded in making genuine dia-
monds and rubies. He employs for
this purpose the electric furnace,
which has been so improved that a
degree of heat can be produced ap-
preaching the extreme temperatures
which were undoubtedly a factor in
tile formation of minerals and gems in
the interior of the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing ten or fifteen carats.
and in quality and color equal and
even surpass those found in the earth.
The natural forces attending the for
nation of diamonds seem to have
been more complicated, and SO far the
diamonds resulting from the efforts OF
the scientists have been very small
but still they are positively identified
as the carbon crystalline diamond
They are remarkably clear and bright.
and on a small scale as fine specimens
as natures own product
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series Of new
compounds. Probably the one Of most
value to mankind at large is Calcium
Carbide. The simple application Of
water to Calcium Carbide generates
the gas Acetylene, which is now being
commonly used for lighting.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its brillinnce and high candle
power, ease of installation. economy
and its adaptability for lighting build
ings of every description, regardless
of their location.

trumpets from a blank of any flexible
material having parallel side edges and
an outwardly curved edge at the OPP
posite end of such shape and curvature
that when folded upon itself cone

up into small cylinder, resembling
music roll, that can readily be carried

INCREASING FODDER SUPPLY.

Fine and wellrotted stable manure
will also often pay in the increase of
rowen when spread on the land shortly
after the first crop is secured. Another
method of obtaining a good second
crop as advised by Professor G. s.
Phelps in the June report Of the Mas.
sachusetts Board of Agriculture is tc
cut early, plow and seed at once to
clover and mixed grasses, using at least
fifteen pounds of clover to the acre
With seeding done early in July, a good
crop of clover should be obtained late
in September or early in October, and
strong growth Of grass and clover the
following year.
Taking up the specific crops that can
be grown to supplement the hay crop
Professor Phelps gives those that are
best adapted to the purpose, time of
seeding, quantity of seed per acre. time
Of cutting and method Of use. whether
for hay, silage or green fodder. The
crops mentioned are corn, Hungarian
grass, the millets, soy beans, oats and
peas, barley and peas, winter xetch
rape and cabbage. Corn can be sown
as late as July 10 and still produce
fair growth Of fodder Hungarian
grass is, all things considered, prob
ably the best crop that could be sown
in July for hay, and should be cut
early, even before all the heads are
formed, as it tends to grow woody az
it ripens Soy beans are valuable
crop, particularly for sllage. Late cab
bage can often be grown to profit
as market crop, and the unmarked
able portions will furnish valuable
fodder. Professor Phelps says that
he has found apple pomace to be a
valuable feed for mich cows, and
there are many sections where it can
be obtained for the hauling.
The article closes with some excel
lent advice as to feeding the hay crop
after all possible has been done &c
supplement it. To obtain the best re
suits, about one-half the dry matter
of the ration should come from the
grain feeds. The cheaper dry folders
such as corn slower or 0at straw, may
then be fed in connection with liberal
siIage and grain feeding, and good re.
suits will follow. Massachusetts
