at the start. When poles are used, one is stuck into the ground for each vine planted. The poles stand l5 feet high. During the first year the vine grows about five or six feet high, and the crop is almost worthless, on account of the poor quality of the hops. The sec ond years crop generally is fairly good, and at five or six years the vine has attained its limit, although it is good for 20 years longer, and perhaps more. Vines in the Willamette val ley which were set out when hop cul- ture on a large scale was started in 1880 are still vigorous producers. The vine dies down to the root when the frost strikes it in the fall.
 The hop vines in the Willamette valley grow so luxuriantly that the trellis arrangement for training them is found more satisfactory, since it enables the vine to spread out and get the advantage of daily sun bath. In building the trellis, large posts are planted 50 feet apart, and are connect ed with heavy wires, which are so ar- ranged that when it is time to pick the hops the wires may be lifted from the pegs to which they are fastened,

KING EDWARDS oRANDSoNs
Young Princes Consider It Great Fun to Go Riding with Their
 Grandpa.

Little Prince Edward, son of the prince of Wales, has a keen relish for the beer and skittles of this world. He often, rides out with his grand father, the king, for instance, and if on such occasion he Is allowed the seat of honor by the side of the Sev- enth Edward he is supremely happy; otherwise he is usually what that ob- servant monarch has called "Quies- cent"
 One day during the summer this smaller Edward and his next brother, Prince Albert, were taken by the king upon a call he was making. Albert had the coveted position on the drive out, and then came the call and then the departure; but so eager was Ed ward the lesser to seize and hold a half of that back seat that he scuttled of and down to the carriage without saying a good-by. Of course, he was sent back to apologize. Up the stairs he ran, blurted out an I'm sorry, and then with never a word as to what he was so sorry about he was again pattering of so hastily that he fell down the last five steps in a way anything but dignifed or royal.
 But the king laughed, and the two Edwards rode home side by side.

and the hop vine may be lowered to height of only four feet, so that the berries may be picked easily. Pick ing is done by hand, men, women and children taking part in the work. Each picker has a huge basket, or hamper, into which he strips the pods as he moves rapidly along the rows.
 The curing of hops requires con- siderable skill. A hophouse for ten acre yard costs about $500. The hop house is g shed, with a floor of lat ticed work some feet above the ground. The hops are piled onto this latticed floor to a depth of two feet, and then the furnaces are started and heat is applied. It takes 24 hours to dry the hops properly. Sulphur is used to bleach the product, and care must be taken to use exactly the right amount. Skill is necessary also to see that the burr of the hop is not broken, as the most valuable hop is the one which is broken the least.
 Some large fortunes have been made in the hop business since the industry was started 25 years ago, and the market for the product appears to be as good to-day as it was when the business was in its infancy in the northwest. Last fall some dealers sold their crop for as high as 32 cents a pound. An association of hop growers recently has been formed, which agreed to pool the coming crop and hold it for a 30-cent market The instability of the market in past years has been the chief difficulty that hop raisers have had to deal with, and this, it is thought. now will be avoided. In 1895, when Oregon grow CTS marketed 99 800 bales of hops. they were forced to sell at prices varying from to II cents a pound. and realized little profit. as the cost of cultivation and marketing is about eight cents for every pound.
 Hops require a great deal of atten- ton. and on this account the small growers. as a general thing, have raised more pounds per acre than those who have gone into the business on a larger scale. While isolated eX- amples may not be taken to prove a general statement, some of them are interesting as proving what can be done in this great land of Oregon by men who are capable and industrious. Last year H J. Ottenheimer, of Salem, raised 31,956 pounds of hops from a 12-acre hop yard. an average of 2,663 pounds per acre, which at 25 cents a pound brought him s532.60 per acre; R. D. Cooper. on the same acreage. realized S604-32 per acre: A. P. Fletch- CT. on If acres, raised hops which marketed for s3,2O0. Of the larger grOwers- Krebs Brothers, 12 miles from Salem, report that they secure annually 1000 pounds per acre from their yard of PA acres. This. at 25 cents a pound. brings them s5s.e0O. or, allowing eight cents a pound for raising. gives them a net profit of s3S,- 0s9, or about s175 per acre.

BREATHING WELL SECRET.
Sounds Found to Bs Due to Atmos- pheric Pressure or Changes in
 Temperature.

The United States Geological Survey has on hand the investigation of curi. ous phenomena known as blowing or breathing" wells. In the course of collecting well records, the hydrolo- gists of the survey have observed many wells that emit currents of air with more or less force, sometimes accompanied by whistling sound which can be heard for a long dis tance.
 The best known examples of this type of well are found throughout the state of Nebraska Blowing wells are also known to occur in Rapides Par ish, in southern Louisiana. The force of the air currents in one of the southern Louisiana wells is sufficient to keep a mans hat suspended above it.
 The cause of such phenomena is mainly due to changes in atmospheric pressure or to changes in temperature. During the progress of low barome- ter storm over these regions, the air is expelled from the blowing wells. With rising barometer the blowing becomes rapidly less until the current is finally reversed.
 Differences in the temperature of the surface air and the air in the soil also produce similar effects. When the in. terstices between the grains of. sand, gravel. etc, in which the well is driven are filled with water, the phenomena of blowing is much less noticeable.

HOSTING COAL AT A MINE
The Smallest Details Are Carefully Looked After in the An
 thracite Region.

To most men-succh as are even en- gagged in other lines of engineering construction-the mechanical detail; of mine hoisting cannot fail to be of interest, says R. V. Norris, in En. gineering Magazine. It is here shown that they are vital to the success oi the majority of coal mining industries
 With many, the mining of coal is classed among the toughest kind oi mechanical operations, in which ths pick, drill and mule car play the most prominent part-an idea which has survived the era of primitive mining operations. Modern mining, however. has been brought to 8 stage of en- gineering refinement never dreamed oi by the pioneers of the industry. To the lay reader the condensed pres entation of the state of the art as now conducted, even so far as it re- lates to the lifting of coal from its normal level to the surface, is 8 revelation, such, as without expert in structons, could not be gained ever by tour of inspection throughout the anthracite districts. The manner oi obtaining the great supply of fuel which is so intimately related to thi progress of civilization, of which sup ply the Pennsylvania anthracite re gions are one of the most important sources of supply, will ever continue to possess an interest superior to tha, of many industries to which coal-get ting is commercially vital.
 The facts given illustrate the impor- tance of skillful engineering to minor hoisting, and serve to place in a strong light the great advancement made during the last 25 years by cars full study and skillful construction. II will be seen that even the smallest details have received attention, and that what might seem of small mo ment to those unfamiliar with the re- duirements of coal hoisting prove upon examination to be far otherwise.

B|G POWER PLANT
MILLIoE-DoLLAR GOVERNMENT PROJECT FOR WASHINGTON.
Buildings on Capitol Hill to Be Sup piled with Heat, Light and Power from a Central Station-Ad-
 vantagss of System.

The economy and utility of central ization has or Is about to revolutionize the lighting, heating and elevator service of the group of buildings on Capitol Hill at Washington. Under the present system there are separate light. heat and power plants for the different buildings, and with the ex- ception of the Congressional Library building. which has its plant located in separate building at the east end of the square, these are all within the buildings themselves. The plan un. der consideration. and which 1t is ex- pected will be carried into effect with in IS months, Is to have one central plant from which all the buildings will receive not only their light and heat, but the power needed for the elevators and other machinery. such as ventilating fans, pumps, etc. The buildings which will be benefited by this system will be the capitol build. ing, the Congressional Library build ing, the new office buildings of the senate and the house of representa- tives. and also possibly the Maltby building and the Botanic gardens. The Coast and Geodetic building may also be taken in the circuit.
 The largest heat, light and power plant now on Capitol Hill is the one in the capitol building. It has capac. ity of 1,500-horsepower, but it has been too small for years, and 1t has only been possible to supply the 2,7o0- horsepower demanded of 1t by speed ing up the engines and working them excessively. The new plant will be an S,000-kilowat station, capable of sup plying all the buildings named, and 1t will be so built that 1t can be easily enlarged as necessity requires. It Is referred to as the s1,000, 600 plant, and while no bids have as yet been re- ceived on the building or engines, this sum will probably not be far out of the way.
 Where the plant will be located has not yet been determined. It has been intended that 1t should be on the gov ernment reservation at Garfield park, in the square bounded by New Jersey avenue, c street and South Capitol street. However, 1t is possible that the station may be placed farther south, near the old canal This would leave Garfield park free and unencum- bered to the public. and there would be some technical advantages in locat-

SMALL PARISH IN LONDON.
Consists of But Twenty-Five Souls and Is Located in the Heart
 of the City.

A parish situated within the limits of the precincts of the Bank of England has reason to be proud of itself. Such is the happy position of St. Christopher le-Stock. which has an area of only two and eight-tenths acres and population of but 25 souls.
 The population is gradually dimin- ishing quantity, though there has been a notable increase of one during the past four years. The figures since 1s1l are as follows: 1871, population, s9; 1881. 72: 1s41. 16; 1851, 45; 1881, 3s; 1891 34; 1904. 24; 1905, 9.
 There are only three inhabited houses in St hristopher-le-Stock. In 17S0 the church of St. Christopher-le-Stock occu- pied the ground upon which the Mansion house now stands. The name was de rived from its proximity to the stock market, which was then held in the reighborhood of Change alley. This church was demolished in 17S1.
 The graveyard, according to . pub. lished reports, was converted into a garden within the grounds of the bank

ing nearer the water supply where there is still government ground.
 The building which will house the extensive plant will be in the shape of the letter T. The cross of the T will be roughly about 56 by 40 feet, inside area, while the longer section will be S6 by 155 feet. The engines and dynamos will be installed in the for ward part of the building, or the I section, of which our illustration shows the central portion, and the rest of the building will be devoted to the boilers and fire room. The type of engines to be used is one of the details yet remaining unsettled. They may be either turbine or reciprocating. And as to the heating system, the mer- its of both hot water and steam are being considered. It has been sug gested that possibly hot air would be the most fitting method of heating the capitol building. but the profound and voluminous statesmen who there do congregate and charge the atmosphere with their eloquence might feel that their special prerogatives were being invaded, and it is not at all likely that that particular building will be dis criminated against.
 The mains and conduits will run north from the power plant. first sup [ plying the library, senate and capitol buildings, and then will make a loop through the capitol and back to the plant by way of the house building and the other smaller structures which ! 1t Is proposed to include in the circuit Four 2.0O0-kilowat engines will sup ply the electric power. which will be carried in the form of a high-tension alternating current 10 the several buildings. Here it will be trans formed down into a 115-yolt direct cur rent for lighting, and by lowering the intensity it will increase the quantity. thus allowing a great amount of power to be carried through the street con- | duits on a small cable and a sufficient volume shunted cd at a safe, low voltage to supply each building served. Whether steam or hot water is used it viIl be conducted through mains and will supply all the radiators in ' inc various buildings.
 The plan of central plant of this kind has several things to commend ft perhaps the chief item being the econ only of such q system
