THE CROPS AND PROSPERITY.
Fruit of Fertile Fields Bound to- no
Away with Hard Times

How can hard times remain in a
24S,000,000 busheB of spring wheat, to
say nothing of 440,000,000, bushels of
winter wheat; that last year produced
hay to the valuation of SIo0,000.000,
more than the value of the cotton
crop, and whose production of Corn
was valued by the department. of ag-
riculture at $1,336, ,901 900, or one-third
more than the appropriations of the
last congress for all tho expenses and
enterprises of the federal government,
including the navy, and AN its colonial
possessions, including the Panama ca
nal?
The June crop report of the gov
ernment says that 631,000 acres more
than last year are devoted TO spring
wheat. The total area is 17,710,000
acres. The acreage for winter wheat
is 322, 900 acres greater than for 1907.
There is therefore reason TO hope that
the wheat crop this year Wit be larger
than last yeag, and may even exceed
the bumper yield of 1906, when nearly
three-quarters of a billion bushels were
harvested. The Canadian yielG will be
about 100,0O0,O0O bushels.
If prices are maintained at their
present level, as seems likely, money
will be added TO the wealth of this
country in such amounts that business
cannot fail to feel its revivifying in.
fuence. If prosperity has not yet ar
rived it is certain to come.

Strength of Rings.

Some elaborate calculations. backed
by experiments, have been made In
England to determine the breaking
strength of rings. 1t appears that a
ring of ductile metal, like malleable
iron, will be pulled out into the form
of a long link before 1t breaks and that
the ultimate strength of the ring Is
virtually independent of its diameter.
Fracture finally occurs as the result of
almost pure tension, and the resistance
to breaking is little less than twice
that of rod of the same cross section
subjected to straight pull. AS the
ring increases in diameter there ap-
pears to be slight approach toward
equality, with double the strength of
a bar. Thus a three inch ring, made
of three-quarter inch iron, broke at
nineteen and one-half tons, four inch
ring at nineteen and nine-tenths tons
and six inch ring at twenty tons, the
strength of n bar of the same metal
being ten and one-half tons.

cARLoT1A AND NAPOLEON.
How tho craxed Empress Curse Came
to a FuIfiIIment.

General Henrico d'Almonte was from
1863 to 1866 the ambassador of En-
peror Maximlian of Mexico to the
court of Napoleon Ill. The most inter-
estmg and most pathetic episode to
which D'Almonte was witness and
which is vividly described IN his
memoirs is the meeting between the
scheming French emperor and Maxi
milian's wife, the beautiful and ambi-
tious Carlotta, who shortly before the
catastrophe at Queretaro had come to
Paris to invoke Napoleon's aid for the
tottering throne of her husband. But
Napoleon ILL.,, who for his own per-
fidious purposes had by promises and
allurements induced Macmillan, then
archduke of Austria, to accept the re
stored" throne of Montezuma, faith
lessly abandoned the unfortunate
prince to his cruel fate as soon as he
realized his schemes to be impractica-
BILE.
Even at her arrival in Paris Carlot-
ta's mind was already in such high
state Of irritation that it was deemed
advisable to have General d'Almonte
at her side during the meeting with Ma
poleon, which took place In the. en-.
press apartments at the Grand Hotel
de Paris.
What lends special interest to that
interview is the fact that the empress,
crazed by desperation and fear for her
husbands safety and by Napoleon's
unsympathetic attitude, hurled a curse
at the latter which in time was indeed
fulfilled to the very letter.
"The empress" says General dAl-
monte, pleaded, partly on her knees
and in the most beseeching terms, with
the stony Frenchman to no avail. Then
1t was that | witnessed the most har-
Frantic with grief and excitement, the
empress, with drawn mouth and fash
ing eyes, sprang to her feet, extending
both her hands toward the retreating
emperor.
"'Leave me- she yelled in voice
which cut through me like a sword
leave me, but go laden with my curse
the same curse that God hurled at
the first murderer. May your own
house and throne perish amid flames
and blood, and when you are humbed
in the dust. powerless~ and disgraced,
then shall the angel Of revenge. trum-
pet into your ears the names of Maxi
milan and Carlottap"
At Sedan and by the revolution in
Paris Sept 4, 1870, the unhappy Car
lotta's curse was fulfilled to the letter.
