IRISH TOBACCO.
of Plant There Is Beyond
 Experimental Stage.

From the London Tribune.
 The cultivation of the tobacco plant has now passed beyond the experimental stage in Ireland, and may be regarded as an actual industry. For some years extensive experiments have been conducted under the guidance of the Irish department of agriculture. and several experts have been employed to superintend the cultivation of the plants and the cure of the leaves.
 To Col. N. T. Everard of Navan, Coun- ty Meath, belong much of the credit for the development of this industry, as for some years past he has been keenly in- terested in the growth of tobacco. In 1904 twenty acres on his estate were de- voted to this plant and a yield of 5000 pounds of cured leaf obtained. It was of an excellent quality and readily sold at a halfpenny a pound. The following year the yield increased enormously. as from thirteen and a half acres 15,500 pounds were procured. while the quality consider ably improved. one penny per pound more being obtained for the cured leaf than in 1904. The same year nine acres were grown in County Wexford, which pro- duced 5000 pounds. and two and a half acres in County Louth, which yielded 3S00 pounds.
 Until this year only the cheaper forms of tobacco have been cultivated, to be employed Tn the manufacture of plug" but this season Colonel Everard is ex- 5rimenting upon twenty-five varieties, among which are some intended to be used for cigar wrappers, worth from s shillings to 12 shillings per pound As far as one can tell at the present time the experiment Is likely to prove a sue cess, the plants looking healthy and strong. The top price procured for the tobacco grown during 1904 and 1905 was 51a cents per pound, so if the cultivation of of the more expensive kinds Is successful the profits will be enormously increased.
 The government has generously encour- aged the industry and at a great ex- pense has erected and fitted up plants for curing the leaves, besides which it has provided for expert instruction

THE A. G. ROPES ARRIVES.
A Long Voyage Made Under Jury Rig.

A Long Voyage Made Under Jury Rig.
New YORK, May %. Under jury rig
from Kobe, Japan, to New York har-
Dor, the noted clipper ship A. G. Ropes,
arrived here today, completing success
fully what was the first attempt in the
chronicles of the American merchant
marine to take the dismantled hull of a
great full rugged ship across two seas.
The voyage began last December, fol
lowing a typhoon experienced last sum-
mer near Hong Kong, when practically
everything above the ships decks went
overheard
The course of the A. G. Ropes from
the moment the storm struck her until
today has been filled with adventure
and with striking demonstrations of
American enterprise displayed by her
skipper, Capt. Rivers. Previous to this
accident the time of the A. G. Ropes,
built in Bath, Maine, was posted in
Hong Kong, New York, San Francisco,
Liverpool and Shanghai for speed rec
ords in races half way around the world.
For four days after the typhoon the
ship drifted, her crew in despair and
the American skipper never once below
decks. When at the end of these days
of suspense German steamer appeared
and offered for $4,000 to tow the A. G.
Ropes to port, Capt. Rivers promptly
refused, although his report states that
cit was some temptation to accept"
He held out against exorbitant offers
for towing until his ship was taken in
to port by steamer for $500. This was
not paid, however until he had sailed
for five days more with sail rugged on
the iron stump of the foremost. At
Kobe the ship was sold at auction to
Lewis Luckenbach of New York and
the nearly six months voyage home
under a makeshift rig began. The
A. G. Ropes was built in 1884, is 250
feet long and 2, 400 tons gross register.
