Mr.. WeHman's DUN VieWs.

II is interesting to note that in the
cosby discussions Of the venture by
men who pretend TO know nothing or
aeronautics nor the polar regions, the
two objections most often urged are
the two which caused Mr.. Wellman
and his associates in the construction
and Quitting of the ship the most per-
plexity. The manner in which he pro-
poses to overcome one of these dangers
that from fast, adverse winds-has
been explained by Mr.. Wellman, thus:
I'VE have already explained how We
hope to make progress with OUR air
ship by means Of our motors and
screws when the winds are favorable
in direction, and also when they are
~unfavorable, but not Of too great We
locity. What are we going to do when
they blow adversely and also too
strongly to permit us to advance with
the motors?
This brings us to one OF the funda-
mental features of the method which
we have adopted. 1t is this:
q. With favorable winds or unfa.
vorable winds Of relatively small We
locities-motor at a proper speed of
from ten +. II geographical miles per
hour, with II miles per hour as per-
haps the mean speed.
20. With u~nfavorable winds Of high
err velocities-stop the motors and
throw out upon the ice sheet over
which we are sailing a dragging an
Choir or retardateur-a device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum of resistance
in proportion to its weight-and by
this means to drift slowly with the ad,
verse wind.
Assuming that this method works
out as well in practice as in theory
and there are many reasons for beliey-
ing that it will do so to at least a fair
degree-we have then this principle:
q. That the winds that blow with
our course, directly or ~obliquely, add
their movements to the advance which
W. expect to make with our motors
and help US so much on our way.
"2. But contrary winds of velocities
greater than our motor speed, or so
great that motoring against them
would be an uneconomical use of fuel,
are not losses to be deducted at full

Description of Ship.

A general description Of the airship
Is as follows:
In length 1t is 1874 feet. Its greatest
diameter is So feet. The materials of
which the bag is made are pure rubber
and silk, with the top Of the bag
a perfectly smooth surface, which will
not accumulate frost, snow or sleet,
and thereby decrease the ascensional
power. By a simple device provision
has been made for the removal of snow
from the top of the ship.
The propelling power Of the airship
lies in three motors, of the inner COM
bustion type and using gasoline for
fuel. The combined horsepower of
the motors is 100, although the con.

Sunday Rest in Italv.

The question Of Sunday rest is be
ing agitated to a large extent in Italy
and a commission was named somt
time ago which recommended that a.
far as possible an uninterrupted rest
of from 50 to &c hours should be in
sured to all the working classes, and
that in case Of public services, the
men who worked on Sundays should
have n day off in the week by turns,
domestic servants being entitled to
a half holiday a week. The law does
not apply to fishermen.

Suspended from the bag is the car,

KING COTTON.

In much the same way that corn oc-
cupies the most important place as the
great staple crop in the northern states
cotton holds sway in the south 1t is
interesting to note in this connection
that the export record of the United
States for the fiscal year just ended
shows that the value of cotton in raw
and finished form exported from this
country during the last year exceeded
$4OO,O00,00O, surprising by far the
value of any other article of merchan-
disc sent out Of the country. The ex-
ports Of breadstuffs of all kinds aggre
gated only $186,00O,000, of provisions
$211, 100000 and of iron and steel
manufactures only S161,000,000. The
Increase in cotton exports has been
very marked during the past five years
amounting to 33 per cent or over $780,,

POULTRY TESTS.

Until quite recently it has been left
to individual initiative and enterprise
to attend to the scientific development
Of the poultry industry Of the country
and tabulate the results obtained with
different breeds and under various con
ditions Of care and feeding. Within
the present year, however, the animal
husbandry section of the department Of
agriculture has undertaken a series OF
experiments to determine the relative
value of different methods of feeding,
while the Iowa station has added a
regular poultry department in which
the egg producing capacity Of different
breeds will be given q careful test I'M
der the same conditions of care and
feed The aim in brief is to do for the
poultry interests of the country and
state what the station seeks to accom-
plish for the swine, sheep and cattle
interests through these respective de-
partments. The results obtained in
these poultry tests will be reliable and
impartial, inasmuch as they will not be
conducted with a view to feathering
the nests Of the raisers of this or that
particular breed.

HARVESTING APPLES.

Our orchard experience this year
leads us to believe that it would be
advisable to make two pickings Of APP
pies at from two to three weeks
apart. The first time through the rip
est and largest fruit could be picked
off and marketed. This would not
only result in saving practically all of
the earliest maturing fruit, which usu-
ally falls to the ground and is wasted,
but it would also serve to relieve the
tree and enable it to mature the re-
naming apples in much better shape.
Where there are few apples on the tree
this would not be necessary, but
where the tree is overfull it is COM
PEELED by natural law to drop much

While the fact is one that is com

membering that trees in the orchard Of
