Are Wonders OF the Vegetable King

New York World.-Common enough
in some store windows in New York
are the Mexican jumping beans, and
those VINO ask are told that little
worm inside the bean makes it jump
so oddly, but that is about as far as
anyone gets who seeks for knowledge.
Really, however, the jumping bean, is
one of the wonders of the vegetable
kingdom.
In the Yaqui River country of West.
ern and northern Mexico there grows
a bush which looks very much like
the ordinary coffee bush 1t ranges
from three to four feet in height and
bears hundreds of blossoms that are
a soft olive green tint before they
ripen, when they turn buff gray.
Each blossom holds two fertile seeds,
and third, or living seed, which is
the home of small, exceedingly act.

ly covered moth when it escapes from
its prison cell.
The seed of the @Carpo-Capsa Salti-

January, and as the climate is always
mild in the lowlands of the Yaqui
country they blossom in May. Then
the female moth deposits one egg on
the pollen Of the flower AS the
flower develops it forms triangular
shaped she'll on two sides, with con-
vex shape on the other side. Within
this the chrysallis develops into a
grayish brown worm about one-tenth
Of an inch in diameter and a half

months, or until the month of Novem-

Berlin, Germany, April 3.-The ac-
ton or the German gunboat, Sperber,
in taking part in the Liberian upris-
ing has attracted considerable atten-
ton in Berlin, where questions as to
the relations of America and other
powers to the negro republic are I'M

authorized statement denying that
the Sperber interviewed forcibly and
declaring that the incident was a
trivial one, anyway. The statement
is vigorously criticised in some quar-
ters.

says the Morgenpost, plainly it was
not necessary for the Sperber to in
tervene. Why must we always and
everywhere be interfering?''

If kept in moderately warm room,

the dancing beans will live for five or
six months to mystify the older folks

length against the side of the shell,
making the bean jump from the band

THREE million
TONS OF RAILS
SUCH WAS THE PRODUCT or THE
MILLS FOR THE YEAR
JUST PAST.
NEW RAILWAY BUILDING DE-
MANDs THE BEST ON
THE MARKET.

None Of the estimates made of
rail production in 1909 exceeded
100000 tons, but the official Stats
tics just made public by the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel association show a
total of 3,062,5S2 gross tons pro-
duced in the year, says the Iron
Trade Review
Before discussing the statistics, a
word of obituary for the iron rail is
meet. More than 100000 tons OF
iron rails have been produced in the
United States. In 1907, the stats.
tics reported 925 tons; in 1908, Ii
tons; in 1909, not single ton is re-
ported, Requiscat in pace.
There are still between 5000 and
5000 miles OF steam railroad track in
the United States laid in iron rails,
and there is demand for iron rails for
mining and other industrial purposes,
on account of the facility with which
they can be bent, but the demand is
to be supplied by re-rolling old iron
rails as they are taken up from steam
railroad tracks. Production of new
iron rails mas ceased.
The history Of rail production in
the United States shows series of
swings quite distinct from the gen.
eral progress of iron and steel manu-
,facture, due to the spurts, first in
railroad building and second in the
replacement of old and, light rails by
heavy rails.
The elimination of new railroad
building in the United States was in
1887, when nearly $4,000 miles OF
new road was built. The same year
naturally showed high point in rail
production, 2,1S9,640 tons, total
which was not exceeded until IL years
later, in 1895.
The elimination of rail replacement
was in 1906, when production totalled
3,977,887 tons. These special move
ments now give place to a more
steady demand, for the building of a
moderate amount Of new track each
year, for gradually replacing the iron
rails and remaining light rails in
trae k, for replacing rails which are
merely worn out in service, for the
building of electric lines and for gen.
eral industrial and export purposes.
The earliest trustworthy statistics
Of rail production are for 1849,. when
21,712 tons of iron rails were pro-
duced
