FINDS WAY To
CHOP THE BEANS
C. w. Renear Exhibits Results
of Experiments With the
Algar0ba.

c. W. Renear has begun to expert
ment with the algaroba bean and al
ready has a continuance which he be-
ieves, with little more use, viii
reduce the bean to a foodstuff for
horses and cattle without CLOTHING the
machinery.
Mr.. Renear exhibited two paper
bags of beans chopped and made about
right for fodder. In one bag was a
quantity of the chopped beans in a
coarse state, and in the other bag he
showed the coarse stuff reduced to a
fine-grade fodder, to which had been
added bran. The finer material when
handled between the fingers did not
adhere to the hands. One of the diff
ficulties in the way of chopping alga-
roba beans has been the excessive
sickness of the inside of the bean,
which prevented machinery from work
ing freely The elimination of the
sickness is what Mr.. Renear hopes
to accomplish, and the results of his
experiments, so far, bid fair to see
his hope realized.
He showed the fine chopped beans
to Paul Isenberg yesterday and that
authority on cattle and cattle feeding
pronounced it first rate.
: Mr.. Renear hopes to engage in the
bean fodder industry on a large scale.
He is sure of demand which can not
be altogether supplied, and for out of
town business he may build machines
for sale, so that each district could
manufacture its own product. By mix
ing the bean with some other staple
foodstuff, Mr.. Renear is of the opinion
that splendid fodder viii be pro-
dueed. The bean alone is considered
almost too rich, but mixed with ordi-
nary bran, for instance, it is made
more digestible.

One of the steam shovels engaged in
work on the Panama Canal, in the
operation of which more than 800 en-
ployes were engaged, recently lifted
out quantity of dynamite which is
described in an official report as being
"more than a bushel.' What would
have happened if the shovel had struck
the dynamite instead of the earth
around it is easy to imagine. The ex-
plosive was in sticks quarters of
an inch in diameter and five inches
long. and the cartridges bore the trade
mark of a French manufacturer of
dynamite and date which appeared
to be November 20, 1887. Unques-
tionably the dynamite was put in by
the French and either failed to explode
or was abandoned when the work
ceased on that part of the French
waterway. The dynamite appeared to
be in perfect condition.

1t is doubtful, if Victor Hugo and
Dumas had combined their magma
tions, whether they could have pro-
duced a more sensational incident
than the struggle between a mailman
and two policemen on the span of the
Williamsburg bridge, 332 feet above
the surface of the East River, in New
York, a few days ago. The spectacle
of the mailman, bent on suicide, climb
ing to the pinnacle of the bridge tower
and pursued by two policemen who
were compelled to scale the same dizzy
eminence, was one which gave the New
York crowd of thousands that watch
ed it reinforcement in their old belief
that the truth is occasionally as
strange as fiction.

What 1t Costs to Run New York.

The State of New York is the larg-
est in the Union, and it takes good
deal of money to run it. According
to the figures furnished the Roches.
ter Post-Express by Senator Arm
strong, chairman of the Senate Com.
mittee on Finance, it took about $780,.
100000, exclusive of trust funds, to
meet the appropriations of the regu-
lar session of the Legislature recently
adjourned. AS would be expected in
an enlightened commonwealth. the
greatest expenditures were for the
benefit of charities and schools. Hos.
pitals received s5,661,11S, and the
common schools (not including nor
NAL schools and academies) $4,665..
625, a sum exceeding by half-mill-
ion the appropriation of last year
Charitable institutions other than
hospitals received $2,583,759, and
the judiciary s1,36S,696. The re-
mainder of the $30,000,O00 was dis
tributed among the score of other de-
partments of State work in amounts
ranging from $4,000 to 100000.
One conspicuous item is that of $780,
600 for printing, which seems very
excessive. The total appropriations
exceed by nearly s3,000,00O those OF
last year. but the law allows the Gov
ernor to cut out unnecessary items in
appropriations bills, and he consider
ably lessened the amount.-Lesiie's

CAPTURED A BIG TIGER.


Probably the most difficult of all
wild animal trapping is that of a
well-developed Bengal tiger. There
is with the Barnum & Bailey Show
trapper who recently returned from
Calcutta with consignment of
library of animal stories. His ex-
periences in capturing tigers make an
interesting story.
81 recall capturing an unusually
fine specimen of the Royal Bengal
with the use of bird lime said the
trapper. With my shikari assistants,
we hung a quarter of fresh venison
from the limb of tree, just high
enough to make it impossible to
reach. The ground beneath we cov-
cred with leaves and bird lime. Then
we concealed ourselves in a banyan
tree.
After several hours waiting we
heard loud purr-r-r boomin 3
through the jungle, and we saw a
tiger coming out of the underbrush,
his broad, whitish throat and beauti-
full coat shining in the sunlight He
was crouching, after the manner of
the house cat when making her
approach to some unwary bird. His
eyes appeared to flash fire as he bent
them on the tempting venison, hang
ing just above his reach
He seemed nonplussed that he
could not get at the meat. After a
moments pause he gathered up his
long back and sprang high into the
air, but without success. Uttering an
angry growl of disappointment, he
made another attempt. All at once
the great brute realized that some
thing unusual had happened to his
feet and legs. He raised his paws
and saw a lot of leaves sticking to
them.
Showing signs of annoyance, he
tried to rub the leaves away by pass
ing his paws over his head and
against his cheeks. He succeeded in
getting most of the leaves off his
foot, but they adhered to his head.
ears and jaws. These he attempted
to remove by using his paws, but he
only added more, by this time cover
ing his eyes. Then he tried rubbing
his head along the ground, tempo
rarily binding himself.
by this time he had lost all pa
tience, and thought only of freeing
himself. Springing into the air, dash
ing himself against the trees, scrap
ing with his huge paws, growing.

hausted himself and sank upon the
ground. In this condition he was
covered with meshes of a strong net
ting and rolled into a heavy, iron
bound temporary cage. New York

Two Hundred Miles of Horse.

One of the greatest problems In
this metropolis is how to keep traffic
moving in the streets. There is
perpetual and increasing tendency to-
wards blockades. The metropolitan
problem is constantly growing more
complex. The 10000 horses hitched
to vehicles in New York add LONG
and unnecessary line to the traffic
parade. Counting eight feet from
the dashboard to the horses head,
we are daily submitting to needless
procession taking up nearly 200 miles
in our city streets. 1t is clear that
in the aggregate Father Manhattan
and his family are standing on the
curb waiting for the procession of zoo
miles of superfluous horses to pass
before they can cross to the other side
of the avenue. These are grotesaue
pictures, yet they but embody the
actual absurdities of a horse-infested
city.-Appleton's

BOYS COURAGE SAVED COUNTRY
Holland is dotted with windmills
and lined with canals. You ask why?
Because this land was once covered
by the sea and the people had to re-
claim it by building great dykes, or
walls of earth, around the shallow
places to shut out the sea, and then
pumping out the water with wind
mills. In rainy seasons these mills
are kept busy pumping out the water.
They are also used to grind corn and
beat hemp.
Probably some of you have read
the story Phoebe Cary tells of the
brave little boy who stopped leak
in one of the dykes. You remember
his mother sent him one evening to
carry a plate across the dyke to the
hut of an old blind man. Little Pc
ter did his errand quickly and was
coming home more slowly, stopping
now and then by the side of the dyke
to gather flowers. He heard the sea
roaring against the dykes and felt
glad that the wall was good and
strong, for he knew that If the dyke
should break the people near would
all be drowned.
All at once, through the noise OF
the waters, came a low, clear trickline
sound that made his face pale with
terror. He dropped his blossoms and
hurried up the bank, where the found
the water trickling through hole in
the dyke. Even as he watched the
hole grew larger and the water
poured through in stream.
He gave a loud shout. kneeled
down and thrust his arm into the
opening, thus forcing back the weight
of the sea. No one was near. He
shouted until his voice was gone, but
no help came. He would not leave
for he felt that it was better for one
little boy to lose his life than fol
many men, women and children to bt
drowned.

Dried VeHiSon,

The most foolish of game laws is
that forbidding the sale of dried veni-
son. Of all meats it is the best In
the open season great quantities of
deer meat are wasted, as we all
know; all of us who go to the woods
to shoot big game must confess the
fact, if we be honest. Why not let
this unused venison be smoked, dried
or jerked, call it what you will, and
allow it to be sold in the markets at
any time? When man is permitted
to kill three deer in season, he usually
kills from ten to twenty, conceals the
fact, eats the choicer parts and either
burns or buries the rest. How much
better it would be to let the guides
dry the meat and sell it,-New York
