It is about time to.make England un- _ derstand that this hemisphere is not a grab-bag for her. 4 We are‘unable to recall the name of the man Mr. Pingree defeated, but he certainly made a thorough job of the undertaking. The Atlanta exposition is now free of debt. It is wonderful-the way the new south has waked up and proceeded to do business. The road to poverty is easy to find, but hard to travel. The road to riches is hard'to find, but easy to travel if you know how to advertise yourself on the way. It is said that a smile of cynical tri- umph spread over New York society on learning that the latest heiress to wed an Englishman married one who has no title. If the general government dogs not look sharp the municipal authorities along the lakes will have that treaty with England abrogated before it has an opportunity to act. It almost seems as if there must he some power back of the Sultan when he decorates his murderers. It does not appear credible that he himself would hasten the Turkey carving. The rottenness of the Turkish em- pire from center to circumference is at- tested by every available authority ex- cept the sultan, and his opposing testi- mony only tends to strengthen the con- viction ‘that the others are entirely right. Some months-.ago @-firm in Alabama telegraphed to a Chicago firm to buy 5,000 bushels of wheat for them. telegram plainly read 50,009 bushels, and that is what the Chicago firm pur- chased. Before the error was noticed, The | however, the price in wheat dropped, | and there was a loss of $1,000 on the deal, which the Chicago firm had. to | pay. It sued the telegraph company for the amount and this week lost the | case because the claim .was not filed within the sixty days limit. An extra cipher frequently causes great trouble At the Ohio State university a test was made during the fall of last year, the result of which was as follows: An ordinary wagon, with a new three-inch tire, was loaded with 4,480 pounds, the dynamometer being. used to was 287 pounds-dn a grass field it was 468 pounds; on npwly plowed land it was 771 pounds, he draft power of a horse of 1,000 pounds is 150 pounds, and thercfore two horses could draw the load easily on a grass sod. With a nar- row tire, half as much is.a full load for a two-horse team, showing a marked advantage for the wide tires, in addi- ayer) lete librar the draft. On-# hard dirt road the draft | ® comp y, tion to whicli they become rollers, and smooth and level the road, and so make | it better.the more it is used, instead of cutting it into ruts, as is well known | the narrow tires do on soft roads. Imfnigration is, without doubt, on the increase, though the total for the cal- endar year will be smaller than it has been in the years when the current of the population movement hitherward was at its height. For the month of September the number of immigrants was over 11,600 in excess of that for September, 1894, while for the nine months the total was nearly 58,000 in excess of that for the corresponding period of last year. If the proportion of incréase which has so far obtained should continue during the year, the augmentation for the twelve months would be somewhere in the neighbor- hood of 77,000. The increase in the volume of immigration would seem to be a reflection of the improvement-of material conditions in the United States which has been going on for a year or more. A good dex! of mystery pertains to the water level of the great lakes be- \tween the United States and Canada. They constitute altogether an enormous fresh water ocean embracing 77,450 square miles. This is an immense res- ervoir, and it does not seem likely that the withdrawal of 300,000 cubic feet per minute by the proposed Chicago drain- age canal would materially affect it. Ip a rain of six inches which recently fell over these lakes, the amount of water added to them was 1,079,640,176,- 000 cubic feet. It would take seven years for the Chicago. canal.to with- draw this amount of water. There are, however, periodical rises and falls in all the lakes which have’ never been ac- counted for. An old boatman on the'St, Lawrence river Says that these rises and falls of the river occur in periods of seven year, the water steadily rising seven years, and then falling as stead- ily for the same-length of time. At pres- ent the St. Lawrence is at its lowest ebb. Next year it will begin to rise, and by 1902 it will be as high as it ever is, ! | for books; ” . _— ae ; = Sea Talmage in Washington. CORK INVCALIFORNIA, ANTARCTIC MYSTERIES, ‘JONES AND ‘BROWN. BtitInterested in New York Affatra— Seven Hund Thousand Dollars for Charittes—-What He Thinks of Certain Books Everybody knows that the illustrious divine, who made the Brooklyn Taber- nacle famous throughout the world, has recently been. called to a pastorate in Washington. His church is the First Presbyterian church of that city, and while in former years a very prom- inent’ insti- tution, it latterly had been favored with but small audi- ences, com- posed prin- . es cipally of eee - men and Pde. WHC. Fatma ges women who Fe . r em ained loyal to the old church even though now surrounded largely by business houses, A marvelous change, however, has suddenly come over this time-honored landmark, and to-day the First Presbyterian church of Washing- ten, owing to the wondrous eloquence of its newly installed pastor, is every Sun- day besieged by multitudes, many of whom stand there frequently hours in advance of the opening of the service in hopes of being able to wedge their way in somehow or other, and to listen to the matchless eloquence of Ameri- ca’s foremost pulpit orator. People all over the country are won- dering whether Dr. Talmage, in mov- ing to the National Capital, and in ex- changing his Brooklyn residence for a house in Washington, has actually di- vorced himself from all connection with the east. Dr. Talmage was recently in- terviewed on this subject by a reporter of this paper, and the reverend gentle- man said that as long as his editorial chair had two legs in New York and two legs in Washington he could never be considered as having severed all his connections with the metropolis. “The Christian Herald,” he said, “with its wide circulation, is a tremendous power for good,” and as long as the Lord gave him health and strength he would write for that paper—in fact, he would be in | his editorial chair at the Bible House more frequently now than ever. Con- tinuing, the genial preacher said: | “There is no paper in America that | wields a more potential influence for good than The Christian Herald, with a circulation of nearly two hundred thou- sand copies weekly. Nothing but death shall separate me from it. Dr. Klopsch, its proprietor, is a man of extraordinary enterprise. This year besides printing The Christian Herald every week in beautiful colors, a veritable enchant- | ment for the eye, he offers asa premium | consisting of ten splendid volumes, full of interest and full of entertainment, with an elegant bookcase, delivered free of all, expense, together with the paper itself, fifty-two times, for the moderate sum of §3. Hereafter let no homé in America be | without a library. I asked Dr. Talmage whether he could recommend the library to people who | contemplated securing it, and he said unhesitatingly, “I know every book. They were carefully and thoughtfully prepared, either specially written or compiled by most eminent literary men, and there is not a weakling among | | them.” “How are the people to secure this great library, and this wonderful paper of yours?” “Simply by sending $3 to The Chris- tian Herald at 888 to 895 Bible House, New York City, and by return mail they will be delighted with the result. Ever since my boyhood, I’ve had a passion I love them still—couldn’t live unless surrounded by them. So I’m something of a judge of good litera- ture. And in my whole life I have never seen a better selection in small compass than these ten books which Dr. Klopsch has had prepared for his subscribers. It’s a perfect library of informatton, entertainment and amusement, and is the climax of the wonderfully enter- prising and far-seeing management that has placed The Christian Herald ahead of all competitors as a Christian home journal. Do you know,” con- tinued Dr. Talmage, “that this paper has in less than six years expended nearly $700°600 in various beneficences at home and abroad?” Just then Miss Talmage came in.to call her distinguished father to dinner, and the interview ended. Remember the address, 888 to 895 Bible House, New. York: City. : Deserve!

The department of agriculture will issue a bulletin before long on the sub- ject of cork. It will advocate the cul- ture of cork trees in this country, urg- ing that forests of this specie of oak could be established with gréat profit in the southern states. Statistics show » that $2,000,000 worth of cork is import- ed into the United States annually, It is steadily increasing in value, fetching now eleven times the price that was paid for it in 1790. The soil af Cali- fornia is particularly well adapted to the cork oak, which grows there with ‘greater rapidity than in Hurope. Al- ready about 1,000 of the trees have been planted in the San Gabriel valley. The University of California has, ac- cording to .the.Brooklyn. Citizen, dis- tributed several bushels of the acorns, which by the way, are very good to eat, tasting like chestnuts. The variety of uses to which cork is put is extra- ordinary. To the Algerians it is as great a necessity as the agave to the Mexican or the palm to the Arab, From it-he makes boats, furniture, saddles, shoes, horseshoes, and evén clothing. Other employments for the material in southern Burope are for roofing, pails, clothes, window. lights, plates, tubs, drinking yessels, religious images, fences, and coffins.

Champagne corks consume the bulk of Cork waste is | the finest cork that reaches the market. | They cost a cent a piece wholesale. This is because they have to be cut by hand; Ordinary cork that is intended to be cut by machinery is first softened by steam, so that it may not take the edges off the revolving, knives. Cork thus treated does well enough for com- | mon purposes, but it has lost its elas- ticity, and does not make stoppers tight great champagne houses often engage the entire output of cork-cutting estab- lishments in*®pain and Portugal.

Who can say that deep within those awful solitades may not be revealed the mystery of the life of the fur seal when he vanishes from the waters of the North Pacific? Or that on some Antarctic continent or island may not be found the priceless remnant of the greatauk tribe? We know not, at any rate, what riches or poverty may be there until we go to see. And no- body has yet gone ‘to sse—beyond the fringe. It isa curious fact that no one has ever wintered within the Antarctic, many as have been the expeditions and ships’ companies which, compul- sorily or voluntarily, have wintered in the Arctic There has been no need to do so for there has been no | possible goal beyond, such as India, which first led our mariners into the Arctic; no scientific romance such as has characterized the quest for the northern pole. And yet another thing. differenti- ates the Arctic from the Antarctic. In the North there is—unless Dr. Nansen is grieviously mistaken—a pole sur- rounded by water. In the South there is a pole surrounded by land—a polar basin as opposed to a polar con- | tinent.
