Worlds Largest Pump.
The biggest high-pressure pu1

Inc biggest hlgh-preSSure pump In
the world is installed in the Dry Dig
gings placer fields of southern Oregon,
on Rogue river, and is used to operate
a battery Of hydraulic monitors in the
mines, writes Dennis H. Stovall in the
Technical World Magazine for Janu-
airy. This pump is one of the largest
pieces of mining machinery ever man
ufactured, and could never have been
installed but for tine fact hat it was
dumped directly from the cars to the
foundation prepared for it at the
mines.
The pump was built by the Byron
jackson Machine Works Of a Fran
cisco, and was one of the last big Jobs
one by this company before the earth
quake and fire. This pump is of the
%five-step centrifugal type; and it
weighs, aside from bearings and gears,
just 10000 pounds. Other pumps have
been built that lift as great a volume
Of water as does his one, ont they do
not deliver it under such enormous
pressure. This pump is tested to with
stand a maximum pressure Of $50
pounds to the square inch. Its capacity
is 49, 900, 900 gallons per day of twenty
-four hours, or 5000 gallons per minute.
This enormous volume is delivered
through a half-mile of pipe line, the
pipe being of steel, twenty-five inches
in diameter. The water is lifted to a
height of 100 feet, and forced through
two four-inch nozzles, hurling streams
"a distance of 500 feet. These powerful
streams a:e played upon the mountain
|swalls, to ear down the gold-bearing
gravel.

CORN FACTS

CORN FACTS.
The Purdue station has found that the
following hold true after a number of ex-
periments covering several years:
The best yields of corn have been pro-
duced by planting in the first third of
May.
~Late-planted corn has matured in twenty
days less time, as a rule, than the early
planted.
Thick planting has produced higher av-
erage yields of both corn and stalks than
thin planting.
In very dry seasons thick planting has
produced less grain, but generally a great
err total yield OF grain and stalks, thar
thin planting.
Flowing eight inches deep has produced
slightly greater yields of corn than either
shallower or deeper blowing.
Cultivation two inches deep has pro-
duced a little greater yield Of corn thar
either shallower or deeper cultivation.
Rotation Of crops has proved an excel
lent means Of sustaining yields of grain
and of conserving soil fertility.
A liberal application of fresh horse ma
nure has not been fully exhausted by a
dozen successive crops Of corn.
Fresh horse manure has produced an ag-
gregate Increase in yield of corr of about
l1v bushels per acre in twelve years.
Different varieties Of corn SHOW a very
Wild range In proportion Of stalk and ear.
which makes 1t easy for the s%tocknan to
select q variety that will produce a large
or small percentage of grain.
Cooperative tests Of varieties OF corn
indicate the undeairability Of getting seed
from remote localities.

succinct statement of two or three
paragraphs. Why this startling change
of plan?
Because, declare the downcast devo-
tees who even in it's days of deca-
dence, are yet loyal to pie, the conclu-
sions are broadly adverse to the stuff,
and it's use is to be entirely and all
together forbidden. DenaturiZed pie
must be served hereafter, or none at
all. And it is known to every anti
tine pie is as hopelessly lost as the
process that gave the world the Da-
mascus blade.
Or. Wiley's ukase must first be sub
mitted to the pure food board of the
department of agriculture for approval.
This is a formality that will be attended
to in a few days. Then Secretary Will
son will approve it. and it will go to
Secretary OF the Treasury Cortelyou,
and Secretary of Commerce II La
Dor Stratus, for their concurrence be-
fore being promulgated. This is the
routine through which all like decis-
Proponents of pie have hope that
Secretary Cortelyou may stay the hand
of Wiley. 1t is we'll known that each
Gay at lunch time Secretary Cortelyou
goes across the street from his office
in the treasury building and devours
a segment of the mince-sometimes
two segments. He is devoted to pie
with a consuming devotion and a pure
minded, ~high-thinking statesman was
never done greater injustice than the
secretary when it was reported by
sordid persons thai his penchant for
the mince was an affectation designed
to capture the New England vote. Sec
rotary Cortelyou is a man of ideals far
above such a subterfuge, and besides
he honestly likes the pie.
No Pie Tree.
But ever should he stick out against
the anti-pie trade, the situation is
considered hopeless. Secretary Wilson
is a sturdy Scotchman who was raised
on oatmeal, and still clings to early
ideas of plain living and high think
ing. Moreover, since the scientists of
Ills department u~naccountably failed in
their efforts to cross an apple tree With
a bread-fruit plant ana produce a
pie tree, he has been violently preju-
diced against pie regarding it as AN
unnatural and dangerous product.

lunch; therefore the feeling that the
tribunal is bad for pies cause.
1t is pointed out, however-as the
correspondents say when writing a
story about what they think ought to
be the facts-that President Roosevelt
may refer the matter to the attorney
general, as he did the classification and
definition Of WHISTLES. Mr.. Bonaparte
in that case demonstrated a splendid
grasp of whisky, it's nomenclature and
it's history.

Soda Mines.

California miners are now as anZ-
ious to find soda beds as they were
to strike a good gold mine in the
days Of 40. Manufacturers arc
camoring for soda for domestic and
medicinal AS we'll as commercial uses.
Pure soda commands fine price, and
the great California desert has been
found to contain vast deposits Of
salines, notably soda in al least one
Of the dry lakes. Here then is the
miners opportunity, and they are
focking to the soda lakes in great
numbers. Soda occurs in varying
forms in this region, but the only
beds which are of value from u mer-
camille point of view, or which fur
nish quantities enough e the saline
salts to be worthy of operation are
in dried out lake beds. The largest
and most important of all of these
is the one known as Dandy Lake,
some thirty miles southeast Of the
small desert town of Dandy in San
Bernardino County. This lake not
only contains vast beds OF pure soda,
but about eighteen million tons of
salt as well. In point of fact this
lake Is probably the most valuable
saline deposit In the world, and as yet
only its borders have been entered
by prospectors; development has
hardly begul.

CHAPTER IN.

! Little Makc-Bclievc and Saranne Re.
ceive an Invitation.
1t was summer, and Mr.. Deepdale
and Walter were in the country.
This change of residence had been
| brought about in the following manner.
For some time past Walter had been
anxious about his father, whose health
seemed to be failing. and rs this was Il
matter which touched his heart very
closely, he consulted doctor, who was
at once physician and friend
LET us have the symptoms" said
the doctor, after Walter had explained
! The cause of his visit
"My father said Walter, "is often
detected
so are most men ut times. | am
often detected"
But my father was never so until
lately"
"NoEsense, nonsense. You mean you
never noticed it until lately-the rea-
son being, Walter that he showed you
ever his sunny side
'He does that now, sir and bright
ems up Immediately at sight Of me, I'M
suspicious that have been closely oh.

Good lad. His appetizer"

What other symptoms?'
ave sleep i'll adjoining rooms. On
two occasions within the last month l
have woke up in the night with an un-
easy impression OH my mind On each
occasion | have gone into my fathers
room and have found him awake. He
was always n sound sleeper"
ION those occasions did lie address
jou cheerfully?"
Yes; even with more than usual
tenderness"
There is 10 cause for uneasiness,
Walter. In the course of week will
call and see him, not as doctor. but
as a friend; then will take notes"
The result of these notes was that
the physician advised Walter to take
his father into the country.
There are ailments he said, (Which
are beyond the physicians art to dis
cover without the aid of those who suf-
fer from them. / can satisfy you on
one point; your father Is not afflicted
with any organic disease, but there
appears to be something on his mind.
Even there l may be wrong; it is quite
as likely that all he needs is change
Of air and scene. Perhaps it will be as
well to let him think that 1t is you
who need the change"
This innocent deceit was practised,
and at the beginning Of summer Wal
ter and his father were the occupants
Of small cottage, situated about
mile from Rochester, owned by moth
erly woman. who attended to their
wants.
1t was one Of the prertiest cottages
imaginable; it's walls We're covered
with roses, and it lay in the midst
Of very garden Of flowers.
Surrounded by lovely scenery and
within an hour and half's railway
ride to London, it would have been
difficult to have found more con-
venient and beautiful residence.
Contented and happy, however, as
Mr., Deepdale appeared to be when he
