How Deserts Are Formed.

There lis a popular idea that
deserts like the Sahara are the
bottoms of ancient seas which have
been lifted above their original
elevation by geological forces.
This notion is an erroneous one.
It is absolutely certain, high

OF all the great deserts have been
formed on the spot by the disinte-
grafton of the solid rocks on which
they rest. Desert sands CORE

The Adams Express Company last year
earned 22.I8 per cent. on $I2, 600, 600.
The American Express Company last
year earned 1898 per cent. on $Io, ooo, 900.
The ells-Fargo Express Company is
now earning at the rate of 20. Is per cent.
on $24, 900, 900.
Herein lies the milk of the cocoanut in,
the opposition of the express companies
to the parcels post. The government
would get the big end of the parcels
carrying business with the adoption of a
parcels post system. and the people
would not have to pay rs or 80 cents for
every little package sent. The express
companies bamboozled the Government
into stopping the parcels carrying bust
ness at fair rates, as was done prior to
1874, and since that time have had a
regular gold mine, as they compel the
people to pay outrageous prices for ser
vice that could be transacted by the
Government at one.quarter the rates
charged by these companies. Just sup
pose the express companies controlled the
mail business, do you think there would
be anySuch thing as two-cent letter pos
tagel Judging from the way they charge
for other service it is not at all likely
there would be.

Maryland Farmers.

II the Governors State Farmers Com
mission should, in the finals, accomplish
no other practical result than that of or
ganizipg series of farmers meetings to
be held throughout the state, at which
gatherings questions in which the farm
ers are Importantly concerned could be
discussed, the organization of the com.
mission will have been justified. The
farming business, like every other bust
ness, needs the continual bracing which
Is derived from an interchange of views
and experiences. Farmers organizations
have tendency to lapse into somnolence
unless they are occasionally stirred to &C.
tivity by some inspiring agency. IF the
Governors commission will only act as
an inspiring agency and will extend its
inspiring influence into every county Of
the state, it will serve useful purpose.
The commission has already arranged
meetings, to take place during the coming
summer, at Cambridge, Centervilie and
Salisbury. It is contemplated to select
places and dates for Frederick. Carroll.

counties.
There are many questions of practical
interest which these farm gatherings in
the counties may discuss. some of the
local concerns and others of general i'm
portance. It is to be inferred of course.
that these gatherings will not touch ques.
tions of practical politics in any partisan
way, but there are many questions which

make themselves heard. Naturally, the
farmers are interested in the good. roads

Government Phosphate Lands.

Two years ago last December the
Government awoke to the fact that
American phosphate lands were
being largely exploited for the
benefit of foreign users of this
precious mineral fertilizer, over
half of the American production
being exported; also that the
public phosphate lands we're rapid
ly passing into the hands of private
owners. Large areas of lands I'm
derlain by phosphate rock in the
recently discovered fields in the
public land States were Immediate
ly withdrawn with a view to secur.
ing legislation which would prevent
expectation of the phosphate.
Since then important geologic in.
vestigations have been prosecuted
and new deposits of phosphate dis
covered by the United States Geo.
logical Survey. The area now
standing withdrawn is over two
and a-half million acres, containing
an aggregate of many hundred
million tons of phosphate rock and
having very great potential value
to the farming industry.
To make this phosphate rock
readily available as plant food it
is necessary TO treat it with sui
.phuric acid, thus converting it into
acid phosphate, or ''super. phos-
phate," and it is an interesting
fact that at least one of the areas
Withdrawn is in close proximity to
the western copper smelters where
large volumes of sulphuric acid
fumes are now a daily unutilized
by product.

The Attorney General stated yesterday
that the Department OF Justice in its
efforts to control all unlawful combiua-
tions in interstate trade, would bring
criminal charges under the Sherman law
against responsible persons. The Attor-
ney General gave this information in his
testimony before the House Committee
on Expenditures in the Department of
Justice. He then declared that IS re-
suit of the Standard Oil and Tobacco
cases decisions, juries will now be dis
posed to convict and judges to impose
sentences under the peual provisions of
the law. Representative Beall Of Texas
had asked the Attorney General why
there had been so few criminal convic.
tons under the Sherman antitrust law.
The Attorney General answered that in
the past juries had shown a reluctance to
convict and the courts to impose prison
sentences He attributed this to the nm
certainty as to the import of the law, now
made clear by the Supreme Court
decisions.

There has been no little interest in an
apparent fight within the democratic
House majority, concerning the tariff on
wool in the new bill which Mr. Under
wood is expected to present early next
week. Mr. Bryan has been in Washing
ton and has tried TO influence the Ways
and Means Committee in favor of free
wool. Mr.. Underwood holds that a
small tariff on wool is necessary for reve
nue.. The contention was waxing warm
and Mr.. Bryan has been critized for his
interference, Mr.. Underwood pointing
out that when Mr.. Bryan was in Con.
gress he voted for the Wilson bill which
levied tax on wool. 1t is expected that
the Democratic caucus will approve the
Underwood measure and that Mr.. Bryan
will as usual be defeated.

To be able to send sealed letter for
one cent will mean something to almost
every man, woman and child in the
country. To large business organizations
which spend thousands of dollars yearly
for postage stamps. it will mean great
saving, but it is not at all improbable that
the government will make more through
the one-cent postage and its effect in
largely increasing correspondence than
under the old system. Now, let us have
the parcels post. OF course. there will be
a form of lobbyists opposing it, headed
BY the Express companies and the rail-
way companies and all who have stock in
them, but SO per cent of the people of
the United States, while they may not
now know it or foresee it, will be greatly
benefited by the parcels post.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The United States is close to that postal
Utopia, one-cent sealed letter rate. For
the first time in thirty years the postoHice
department is mot only self.supportinp.
but is bringing ] rye revenue to the
government. When we remember that
only two years ago there was deficit Of
more than seventeen millions Of dollars
and that there is now surplus of three
millions. involving a change of twenty
millions, we can have some appreciation
Of what Postmaster General Hitchcock
has accomplished. He can do much
more if Congress will but second his efforts
and by the establishment of a parcels
post SO per cent. of. the people of the
United States will be benefited and the
federal government will turn what has
heretofore been a losing business into
one of great national profit. At the
present time there is besides the three
million dollars turned back TO the
Treasury, full million in the national
postoffice and unless the expenses during
this month should prove extraordinary,
the surplus will be still greater for the
fiscal year. Let il not be forgotten that the
present administration inherited deficit
of more than $I7,5oo, 900. the largest
in the history of the postal service.
This deficit was soon changed after Post
master General Hitchcock took charge.
In the past 1t always has been the custom
for the government to set aside at least
ten millions to meet the deficit of the
general postof6ce, but Mr.. Hitchcock
found that he would not have to use any
part of the amount and sent it back to the
Treasury. An accounting plan was
adopted abont year ago, which insures
the prompt deposit in the Treasury Of
postal funds not required for disburse-
ment at postofices, and to this reform in
the financial system of the postofice de-
partment the present much desired condi-
ton is in,part indebted.

RIOT IN BALTIMORE.
Mob Hits Umpire on Head With
Bottle, and Stones PLAYERS.

BALTIMORE. August IA reversed
decision by Umpire Hart in the tenth
inning of yesterdays game between
Rochester and Baltimore which gave the
visitors an opportunity to score two runs
and win one game. caused a near-riot at
Oriole Park after Baltimore's half closed
without q run.
Hart was struck on the head by a bot
tie and rendered unconscious for half an
hour. After receiving medical attention
he was able to go to his hotel in a taxi
cab. and announced that he would um-
pire i'm today's game. Manager Camel
and Second Baseman Alperman of the
Rochester team were struck by stones
thrown at them after they had entered
trolley car, but suffered only slight
abrasioRs.
AS soon as the game ended the crowd
surged into the field in a threatening
manner. but the injury to Hart evidently
sobered them and prevented more serious
of g. man with brick in his hand.
With two out. three men on the bases
and the score tie, Alperman of Roches-
ter bunted in front of the plate. Pitcher
Atkins got the ball and threw to First
Baseman Schmidt, who caught 1t before
Alpermau reached the base Hart de-
clared the runner out and turned aside. \
cry went up from the Rochester players
that Schmidt had dropped the ball, and
when Hart saw the ball rolling on the
ground he called Alperman safe. Two
men crossed the plate during the wran-
gle that ensned. Schmidt claimed that
Alperman deliberately knocked the ball
out of his hand. but Hart allowed his re-
yersed decision to stand.
There is interest in the present series
which began Tuesday. as Rochester is
the leader in the Eastern League race,
with Baltimore a close second.
