FAST TAKERS IN THE HOUSE.

There is some discussion In Washing
ton on the rapidity with which some of
the Representatives in Congress deliver
their speeches. 1t is stated that the
average speed of the speakers in the
House has increased 25 per cent as com
pared with the speaking of Representa-
tives of former generation. Samuel
II. Gray, one of the House stenograph-
ers, is quoted as authority for this,
but he says be does not mean TO
say that the maximum speed limit has
been increased, but fully fifty meu in
the House now talk at high rate of
speed where ore man reached the maxi
mum years ago. He states that when
he went on the floor as a reporter
there were only two OF three members
who talked so rapidly that the
stenographers had to do their best to
keep up with them,
He states further, in an interview in
the Washington Post, that former Rep
rescutative Charles Littlefeld of Maine
was the fastest talker in the House when
be went to work there, Littlefeld g
average for four hours on one occasion
was 1876 words per minute. Prior to
Littlefeld the record for fast talking
was held by Henry U. Johnson of In
diana. He talked so fast, and was the
only man who did so, as Mr.. Gray is
told by his associates, that a double
check was necessary: that is, two
stenographers took him at the same time
and had to compare their notes in order
TO get his speech in full. In the pres.
eut House there are several men who
talk almost as rapidly as Mr.. Johnson
talked. "potablv Mr. Martin of South
Dakota and Mr.. Murray of Massa.
chusetts,' and be says that others also
exceed Mr., Little6eld But the average
speed, while much greater than it used
to be, is not more, Mr., Gray estimates,
than $50 words a minute, and some
members talk as slowly as only so
words a minute.
Mr.. Gray pays a great tribute TO a
former stenoTapher, the late Andrew
Devine, brother OF James Devine of
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Gray says Mr..
Devine twas the best stenographer the
House ever knew, aud he continues
Nobody ever knew how fast Devine
could write shorthand. That he could
reach a speed Of 800 words minute is
beyond question. He is the only man I
ever heard of vino could get far behind
speaker aud catch up without the least
difficulty. He was known to follow a
man $50 10 200 words behind and catch
up with him. But Devine was a mar
vel. - Which is a great tribute TO
Mr.. Devine. But it does not appear
that the substance of the talking in
the House has gained in importance or
ability in corresponding degree with
its rapiditv. On the contrary. a great
deal Of nonsense is talked in the House
nov, perhaps more thar ever before.

A s15o,ooo.0oo FARMER.

Vincent Astor, the young man OF
$3.50, 100000 inherited wealth. appears
to be a great admircr Of Governor Sui
ger OF New York; 80 much so that he
applied TO Governor Sulzer for advice
as to what he should do and make his
| life work. The Governor responded by
recommending TO him the fostering OF
agriculture. and doing what he could
TO increase crop yields and develop the
scientific phases of farming
The report is that Mr.. Astor has
taken this advice. and that he win
establish on his farm AT Rhinecliff
New York, an experiment farm for
the benefit of every farmer in the
country Mr.. Astor intends, it is
reported, TO make this experiment
| farm great center of scientific ac-
tivity for farming operations. There
will be everything connected with ad.
vanced methods OF farming, and the
idea is to make it practically a univer-
sity for farmers. Experiments will be
made of every kind, and the benefits
of soil analysis, of fertilization. and
Of the adaptation Of seeds and plants
to climatic conditions and variety of
soils will be studied and the results
made known.
1t is fortunate that Mr.. Astor has
sufficient money to back whatever he
may undertake IN this direction, so
that the most practical and beneficial
results may be expected As a starter,
NJ. Astor will go by appointment of
Governor Sulzer as a delegate to the
international Institute Of Agriculture
in Rome. Italy, next May, and on re-
turning home will give personal at
tentjon and direction TO the farming
experiments at his farm Of 5000 acres
at Rhinecliff 1t will be seen that
Iall the elements necessary for the purY
pose Of making vast agricultural c1-
pertinent farm are present. There is
the enthusiasm of Young man to givo
it impetus. there is plenty of land for
all experimental purposes, and there
is abundant wealth to back the enter
prise.
Farming is certainly having an mp
lift in the United States at the pres.
ent time. Farm products never brought
such prices. We have large number Of
agricultural colleges in the various
States. and the practical instruction
and experiments conducted Mt these
agricultural colleges arc of the high
est benefit TO the farming commuui-
ties Of the whole country. There is.

culture, which has devoted great prac-
teal attention to instruction in farm.
ing and in the bctterment Of the va.
rious crops, both as to quality of prod
uct and increase of yield
And now here is this vast private
project Of Mr. Astor's, which will util
ize the best results Of farming expert
mcnts in all the agricultural colleges
and the best expert knowledge in the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and
will supplement these with scientific
experiments that will carry the tests
and Investigations to the utmost pos
sible limit. Evidently the day OF the
farmer has dawned in the United
States
