An art critic says the new Issue of $2 bills are so cleverly done that it arouses doubt as to tbeir genuineness. "Freddie” Gebhard says Dr. Keeley has made a “now man” of bim. Good; the old one was of no account. The players in Steele Mackaye’s drama, “Money 'Mad,” have got mad about tbeir money and gone on a strike. The official air about Washington must be badly in need of disinfecting. It mokes sick everybody who gels into it. The third party platform strikes a blow at the walking delegate. “If auy will not , work neither shall be oat,” it says. Kate Field asks: ‘‘What would become of France without her women?" France would remain, but the Frenchmen wouldn’t. Chairman ilrioe has received bis first campaign contribution. It was a 810 bill, and came from an enthusiastic lowa demo crat. Can any statistician tell us the number of the ‘ ‘third’’ party formed in St. Louis the day before yesterday? Is it the sixteenth or ‘seventeenth? Having wavod a farewell to her departing congressional guests, Chicago will now re sume blowing at the smoke and about her pure atmosphere. ' A bronze statue of Brigham Young, the Mormon prophet, is to he erected in Salt Hake City, to perpetuate the memory of his monumental brass. Mr. Pinkerton’s little army becomes a campaign issue in the hands of the third party people. It is a pity Pinkerton cannot arrest the movement. The only “woman’s rights’’ recognized by the St. Louis conference were tbcso of Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, and Mrs. Dabbs, of Texas, wbo are on the national committee. The western poetess who admonishes Kyle and Peffer to “Arm! go forth naked for the fight:’’ is respectfully reminded that we are not living in the Garden of Eden. Submitting a national question to state legislatures “for favorable action" is a nov elty in national conference* But then the St. Louis convention was a novelty itself. Chairman Husted says the New York re. publican convention in Albany, May 4, will be an affair of “sweetness and light.” Platt and company will, of course, furnish the “sugar.” Dynamite as a temperance argument, as they argued iu Tennessee the other day, is Dot likely to prove popular, but it is just as good as the policeman’s club, advocated by the prohibition party. Joaquin Miller bas cut bis hair and gone into seclusion in his mountain home in Cali fornia. The sentence of his son to prison for stage robbery was the cause. He says he desires never to see any of the human kind again. The St. Louis conference’s assertion that this nation is on the “verge of moral, politi cal and material ruin" is bosh. There are numbers of things in our national eoouomy that need reforming; but they are being considered and will be worked out. The idea of general and disastrous wreck im pending is purely a figment of tho dema gogue's imagination. The wrongs to be righted can all be successfully handled by the people through the party of "the people —the democracy—and without the estab lishment of any other party. The Outcome of the Conference. The result of the conference at ML Louis, In which a dozen or more organizations of one kind end another were represented, was a virtual declaration in favqr of Independent political action. The conference did not make that declaration, bat it might as well bare done so, because it condemned in the strongest terms the old political parties, and asserted that anew political party was necessary to redrees the grievances and enforce the principles set forth in its platform. It was afraid, how ever. that there would be strong opposition if an attempt was made to pass a resolution committing the organizations it represented to independent political ac tion. But it did Indirectly what it failed to do directly. The conference resolved itself into a mats meeting, all the delegates re maining in their seats, and appointed a com mittee to confer with a committee of the People’s party for the purpose of fixing a time for holding a convention to nominate a presidential ticket. i It was evident that this would be the out come of the conference long before it met. Indeed, it had no other object of any con sequence in view. The purpose of those who were instrumental in having it called was. undoubtedly* to commit the various organ izations who would be represented in it to a new political party. A few of the farmors’ alliance delegates from the south were not in sympathy with the new party movement, but they did not protest against it. They would have ac complished nothing it they had done so. But the fact that the conference proper did not authorize the action looking toward a new party leaves them, and those of their constituents who agree with them, free to continue to act with the old political parties if they prefer to. The only question growing out of the con ference that is of much importance to the south is, What proportion of alliaucemen will support anew political party* From present indications it is safe to say that tbs proportion will Dot be large. In this state the new party will get a good mauy votes, but not enough to make the supremeoy of the Demooratlo party doubtful, aud the same is no doubt true of each of the other southern states. Before leaving the Demooratlo party alliancemeu will want to kDow what they have to gain by doing so. When they un derstand fully what the new party stands for, and see the kind of men who are lead ing it, very few of them will give it en couragement. The new party will be made up of people who thiuk they have grievances, and who would not be satisfied even . if the government were conducted in accordance with their views. it will be led by cranks and disappointed office seekers—men who have failed to gain influence in the old parties or retain that which they had because the people refused to trust them or had become tired of them. Two of the most conspicuous fcalers at the St. Louis conference wore ex-Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, and Gen. Weaver, of lowa. Van Wyck was a republican who made himself ridiculous in the Senate so often that bis party dispensed with his serv ices. The financial heresies of Gen. Weaver were repudiated long ago. And yet such men as these are at the front in the new party movement. In the St. Louis conference sixteen differ ent organizations were represented, nearly every one of which has a grievance of its own. It is evident that it will not be possi ble to unite these organizations so that they wilt act together harmoniously and enthu siastically in support of a political party. They will be quarreling before the new party is fully organized. They applauded the platform of the conference, because that declaration of principles means very little. It is mainly a denunciation of the old politi cal parties and the existing political and financial conditions. A platform of anew party, however, that will command support at the ballot-box will have to be very dif ferent from that. The Democratic party will not be hurt by tho new party. It has witnessed the rise and fall of many parties. aud will still be the party of the people when this party that is being brought into existeuce by GeD. Weaver, Senator Peffer, Mrs. Lease aud • others has been forgotten. Mr. Jay Gould, it appears, is really a charitable man, despite the hard things that have been said about him. At a meeting of Presbyterian ministers held at his house for the purpose of raising money for the church extension fund, Mr. Gould subscribed $lO,- 000 and his daughter $2,500. Mr. Gould takes his characteristic business secrecy into his acts of charity, which accounts for bis uot receiving credit for such acts when he deserves it. Edison thinks he may be able to hear the sun spot roar. His idoa is that a long stretch of oopper wire to bs set up will be affected by the electrical disturbances on the sun. From the wire the disturbances will be translated Into sound waves. After he gets his wire up it will take the genius of an Edison to decide whether tho roaring is in the sun spot, or in that place that Bob Ingersoll cays does not exist. Gen. Frederick Sleigh Roberts, R. A., G. C. 8., G. C. I. E„ D. O. L. LL. D., V. C., commander-in-chief of the forces in India, whose elevation to the peerage was an. ncunoed in December, and who has been gazetted as Baron Roberts of Candahar aud of the City of Waterford, may be an igno rant msD, but he certainly is not unlet tered. It is announced that Dr. Keeley has made a contraot with the United States govern ment to furnish his chloride of gold liquor habit remedy to ail the national homes for soldiers and sailors. The soldiers and sail ors would probably prefer that the govern ment vote them a pension for the whisky disability. ! If Paris continues to produoe such plays as have to be hissed off the stage, the man agers may find themselves confronted by a demand from the auditors that they erect steam pipes along the footlights to do the hissing. Frenchmen are very progreseive in the matter of theatrical appllauoea. The Czar of Ruseia has become interested In cricket and bas organized two elevens among the young men of his oourt. Com menting on the innovation, the Chicago Tribune says: “Crioket lu wintry Russia would be almost as muoh of an athletio exotic as foot ball in South Carolina." It is reported that the government of Nicaragua has granted the Louisiana lot tery a perpetual franchise. In case this turns out to be erroneous, it might be a good idea to present the lutteiy to Cbile and thus get even with her for her numerous unkind acts toward us. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1692. The Ccmm'.asioners Act Promptly- A day or two ego the Morning Mews, in commenting on the statement of Dr. Le- Hardy, medical director of the Citizens’ Sanitary Association, that Casey's canal and other important drains in the vicinity of the city were choked up, expressed the opin ion that if the city should be visited by sickness in an epidemic form next summer i the county commissioners would be held responsible for it if the drains were not opened. At a meeting of the commissioners yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed directing County Engineers Blandford and I Thomas to take the entire chain-gaDg foroe j and clean out and put in good condition all the drainage canals and ditches, including Casey’s canal, in the vicinity of the city. It is understood that this work will be begun within a week. It is a source of satisfaction that the county commissioners have acted in this matter so promptly. There is no doubt that the canals and ditches in the vioinity of the city are in a bad condition. Daring the heavy rains last fall a good deal of land drained by Casey's canal was overflowed, and thero were complaints then that the canal needed attention. It is highly im portant that all the territory near the city should be well drained. As long as it is there need be little apprehension of serious sickness of any kind. It cost the county a great deal of money every year to keep the canals and ditches in the neighborhood of the city open, aDd the oost will continue to be a heavy burdeu upon the tax-payers unless under-drains are put in or the law prohibiting cattle from running at large is adopted. The open drains are ruined by cattle that push the soft earth into them in crossing them or In trying to get water. Efforts have been made to adopt the law which requires cattle to be kept within en closures, but the few white people and the many colored people who own them have outvoted those who know the oounty would be benefited In many ways by the adoption of that law. If every man who knows that the law would be helpful to the county had voted for it at the last election on the fence question, it would have been adopted, and the drainage in the vicinity of the city would be far better than it is, the ex pense of keeping it good would be small, and the lands of the county would be placed under cultivation much more rapidly. All this good work is obstructed in order that cattle may glean a living without expense to their owners. A Remarkable Demand. It looks as if a good many of the dele gates at the St. Louis conference were ex union soldiers, and that one of their pur poses is to make a raid on the United States treasury. A plank of the platform adopted by the conference reads as follows: “We demand that the government issue legal tender notes and pay the union soldier the difference between the price of the depre ciated money in which he was paid and gold.” This is a remarkable demand for reform ers, who are shouting for cheap money, to make. If their demands for the free coin age of silver and an increase In the volume of the currency to SSO per capita by issuing legal tender notes should be grauted, and gold, in consequence, should go to a premium, would they insist upon paying what they claim is due the “union soldier” in gold, or would they be satisfied if he were paid in cheap currency? It is quite certain that if their demands with respect to silver and legal tender notes were complied with, gold would command a premium. The St. Louis conference in framing its platform, however, does not ap pear to have taken that fact into consider ation. Indeed, it does not seem to have considered anything seriously except the grievances of the different organizations which it represented. In view of tho fact that there was such complete harmony between the representa tives of the blue and the gray in the con ference it is rather strange that some pro vision was not made in the platform for giving pensions to deserving ox-confederato veteran* or for the refunding of the cotton tax. All the good things, however, seem to have been reserved for those who reside at the north. Congressman Springer’s gratitude to Senator Hill for calling an early conven tion in New York, so that timely notice might be served on the democracy of a dis affection in the state. Is one of the unique things of the oampaigu. But it must be a very bad action for which there can be found no apologist. The third party, it seems, has set out to follow around the succession of days pe culiarly American. They may confer to gether on Washington’s birthday aud hold a convention on the Fourth of July if they please, but the exercises of March 4 will be under the auspicoe of one of the old parties. One of the best acts of the St. Louis con ference was the effort at blending the blue aud the gray. There was really no need of it, inasmuch as the north and south were reunited by the surrender of Lee; but such incidents are harmless and tend to perpet uate good feeling. The Lida (Dak.) farmers have grown tired of waiting for leap year to “take its course,” aud have resumed advertising for wives. Several weddings have already re sulted, and a consigumeut of two peospoot ive brides was shipped from the cast this week. The steamer Indiana, which sailed from Philadelphia Monday for Russia with a car go of provisions for the starving peasants, is the same upon which Gen. Grant made his voyage around the world, and the same captain is still in command of her. Tho most welcome campaign literature that the national committee handles is issued from the presses of the bureau of engraving and printing, and is signed by the treasurer of the United States and the register of the treasury. “Hill Bent for Election” the telegraph editor wrote over the dispatok. The printer ohanged the “i” for an “e," and he thought he had stuck to the truth. Secretary Foster, according to a news paper paragraph, has smoked twelve strong cigars aday for tweDtv-flveyears. Now he suffers from heart trouble. During the last few weeks, says the London Daily Notes, the Roman populace have been saying that Beatrice Cenci is now out of purga tory The legend runs that when, during the pontificate of Clement VIII., Beatrice Cenci was executed for the crime of parricide, the people, who pitied her greatly, said that God had not sent her to hell, hut into purgatory. At that time me property of the Cenci family was sequestrated, but when Raul Borghese became pope he hastened to distribute it among his nephews. This favor, Haas said, wouid only last until Beatrice was relased from purgatory. Now that the Bi rbe.es are almost ruined it is commonly repealed iu Rome that the punish ment. is ended and lie*triei liberated. PERSONAL Gsn. btTLsa osya in his book of Gen.

Rosser, the famous confed erate cavalry leader, announces himself a can didate for congress from the Richmond (Va.) district. Senator Hoar's troubls with his eyes seems to be getting rather serious, and it is likely to keep him away from the Senate chamber for some time yet. The Rev.

Prom the St. Louis Republic (Dem.). Of course it would be expensive to publish the pension lists, but think of the solid satisract tion the tax payers would have In seeing the roster of the heroes they are helping to support. Third Party People Cannot Learn This. From the Chicago News (Ind.). Political parties are not made, they grow. This fact reformers are slow to see; but experi ence is a rude teacher, and finally they learn her lesson and abandou the folly of making anew party for every new idea that crops out. The Decay of the United States Senate. From the New York World (Dem.). The Senate is manifestly degenerating In character, dignity and ability. It is ceasing to be a truly represeptative body. Aud the process of decay can bechecked in only oneway. Tne people of each state should choose their own Senators. Congress Might Well Help. From the Boston Herald (Dem.). We think that our philanthropists oan far better afford to send flour and grain to support the starving people of Russia than we can afford to invite all the sufferers to come over to this country and be taken care of here. We have au over .abundance of them already. Suppoee It Does, Then What? From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Reo ). Suppose the third party movement does hold the balance of power in the national campaign, as its supporters expect, what will it do with it? The balance of power will not elect its candi. dates, and any attempt to use it In influencing either of tho ol her parties will be open to the stigma of trafficking in votes. The Discontentment of the Negro. From the New York Timet (Ind.). Tlie appearance of these fugitives in New York goes t i show that the southern negro is not Contented with his lot. If his discontent be the result of his own laziness and improvidence, there is nothing it but to let him learn in his own way the necessity of industry and thrift. It is impossible that his discontent is fostered by the smattering of knowledge lie has picked up. It is certain that an extension of the com mon school system throughout the south will ultimately have the effect of making colored labor more efficient and more contented, and in that extension, and not in fantastic schemes of colonization, is to be sought the solution of the race question. Not Exactly “Disastrous.” From New York Commercial Advertiser. Mayor McDonough of Savannah, by his cru sade against the saloonkeeper, established a disastrous drought in that city on Sunday. A G: eat Town, Is Savannah. Fi om the Augusta Evening Herald, Savannah is a rich town. The workmen down there dig silver dollars from the streets. Cotton growers will never get money from the earth. The Alliance in Georgia. From the Washington Post. Hon. Rufus E. Leister of Georgia said at the Cochran last night: “The alliance in Georgia is mainly compared of democrats, but a guod many of them are Inclining to the third party movement. The aentiment is pretty we 1 divided in Georgia between Cleveland and Hill. The democrats of the state will support either of these gentlemen, or any other good democrat who may be put up for the race The Repub lican party is not numerous In Georgia." “Quit-man" or "Quitman?” From ik Philadelphia Record. Avery romantic, not to say imaginative, story of the Darning of the town of Quitman, m Georgia, is going the rounds. The name (Quit-man) is sai 1 to have been unconsciously Invented by a rustic maiden in ropelliiig the too pressing attentions of an admirer. The Savan nah News, which is authority for the story, ought to know; but it does seem to be a little forgetful of Gen Quitman, whose Mexican war record gave him such great popularity in the south that it was quite common and natural to name things after him. Amusing a Caller. Little Mias D’iraoo in the New York Week!*) —Mara it.a will be down eoon, an' the said I might come In an' ’muse you if I'd promise not to ask any ’pertinent aueetiona. What do you wear nose glasses for? Society l eader—l am nearsighted, my dear. Litt e Miss 1 J'Amoo—l know, but mamma is near sighted too, and she carries a lorgnette. Mamma likes a lorgnette because it shows off her j.retty hands Som© foliti hasn't. Is your house a nice as ours? Society Leader—Our house is an older style, much older. My father Duilt it. tattle Miss D'Avnoo Our second maid's father used to build bouses too. He fell off a aeaffold an' got killed. Wasn't it awful: That happened in Europe. We didn’t go to Europe last year Mamma said it bad got so common she and stay here, ’cause she didn’t want to get mixed up with the nobodies. We went to Sara toga and Newport and suob places Did you? Society Leader—N-o. We went to Europe. That is a lovely picture above your head. Little Mise D'Avnoo -Yes. We naveu't many pictures, but every one is pretty. Papa says some folks buy pictures just on spec'lation, an' get a whole lot, ever ro many, an’ then, when the artista is all dead, they make money out of the graveyard mould, ‘cans-? the pictures go up. He says some houses look like junk-shops, an' the families sits around hoping the artists will die. How many pictures have you? Society Leader—A great many. Little Mise D'Avnoo—We haven't but a few, 'cause ours is only to look at. Is that your car - riage out there? Society Leader—Yes, it is waiting. Little Mise D’Avnoo—l didn’t know but It was one of ours. We have so many I can't beep track of 'em. Papa is awfully fond of horses, and has different horses lor every carriage He says people who keep only one pair do it nut jf economy-to save livery bills and street car fare, you know. Have you many horses? Society Leader—Just now we have but two. That is ail we need. Little Miss D'Avnoo—Mamma is taking a good while, but she couldn’ help it. Bbe was having anew reception dress fitted, 'cause she tore her last new one the first time she wore it. She went to a reception at some ones named Per kins—some butler's, I guess—an'she caught her dress In a splinter of an old chair. She said the chair had been mended, and she was awful mad She said folks what had broken obalrg around wasn't respectable, 'cause it showed they spent ao much for the chairs in the first place they could't afford to buy new ones; and papa said there was a good deal of style In this oity that wouldn’t count for mnch if it wasn't for the patching. There goes Perkins. Per kins is our butler. Perkins isn’t his name, but we call all our butlers Perkins. Do you ? Society Leadsr—No. Little Miss D'Avnoo—Why not? Society Leader—Because our name la Perkins. Tell your mother I couldn't wait. The Senator Did Not Know It All. Speaking of the residence* of senators brings to mind a story concerning a senator which is thoroughly relished by all who know his cheese paring proclivities, says the Washington corre spondent of the New York Times. He is some thing of a statesman and has unquestionably done much good through his careful scrutiny of measures that have managed to reach the cal endar. Bills appropriating money to be ex pended in the District of Columb.a have espe cially challenged his attention, as district offi cials know to their sorrow. This senator is the ° pe r of a handsome house in Washington, which stands in a comparatively new part of the city. It was not provided with sewer facili ties a year ago, and the senator thought he would remedy the defect. He applied to the proper district authority to have a sewer built through the street in which his house stands ‘Can’t do it this year, senator," the officer said; "there ain’t money enough ” “Bnt you’ve got an appropriation for sewers, haven't you?" the economist demanded. "Yea, but not for that particular district,” was the reply "You remember you shut down on the appropriation which would have put a sewer through your street." The senator remembered that he had opposed a certain appropriation, but this wa* the first intimation he had received that it affected his own property. He looked just a little sheepish when he asked: “How muoh would a sewer through that street cost?" “About $15,000," the officer said. The story goes that the necessary sum was Inserted in a district bill soon afterward, and in course of time the sewer was built. Judge of the senator's surprise when a bill for several hundred dollars—his share of the amount for the improvement assessed upon the district— was presented to him later on. He had been laboring under the imprtssion that the govern ment paid the entire bill. He now knows more about building sewers in Washington than he did. Not a Bigger Man. Eustis Russell, the heir apparent of Massa ohusetts, is a strict constructionist, says the Boston Herald. He took a very lively interest in the last state campaign, and, although he is not yet old enough to read the political news in the daily I ors, he asks questions enough of his father and other members of the family to form a comforting, if somewhat biased, opinion of the situation. His interest and excitement culminated on election day. and it was only after a good deal of persuasion and by whispering some myste rious sentence into bit ear that his nurse could induce him to go to bed at all. The morning after election Eustis was up very early. He came down into the dining room and sat there very quietly all alone. By and by his gubernatorial dad appeared. He said; "Good morning, Eustis,” but the heir apparent made no answer. Instead he got gravely up and circled about liis astonished father, surveying him from head to foot. "What is the matter, Eustis?" asked the gov ernor uneasily. “Is there anything wrom with my coat? Is my tie coming up behind ? Do you see any smut on my nose?" "No, pop.” said the son, In a disappointed tone. "But you ain’t any bigger to-day than you were yesterday. Nurse said last night if I went to bed early I’d wake up this morning and find you the biggest man in Massachusetts. I think she fooled me.” • Entirely Dead. While the gently falling rain was doing the best business that could be done for San Diego county to-day, a group of old-timers gathered in an uptown office and fell to telling old-time stories, says the San Diegan. One of the stories told was in the form of a joke on Julian, as Julian was in the old times, of course. An old miner named Tim was found dead in bis cabin one morning, said the story teller. There ap peared to be a lingering idea that something official ought to be done, but nobody knew ex actly what until a stranger in camp said an in quest ought to be held to determine whether the man was dead or not. "But how shall we find that out?" asked the justice of the peace, whose position forced him to the front. “Why, by holding a regular inquiry,” was the answer. "All right,” said the justice, "weTl hold a regular inquiry. Bring in the body.” The body was brought in and the court was called to order. When everybody was quiet the justice rose with commendable dignity, walked over to the side of the deceased, and. leaning over, shouted in the dead man’s ear; “Say.Tiuu come take a drinkOf course there was no answer. The “inquiry” was repeated three times. Then the justice returned to his bench to make this announcement: “We find that Tim is dead," said he. "Any man in Julian that won't get up and take a drink when he's asked to is dead. This inquiry is closed,” There Was No Funeral Friday. The Boston Journal tells a story illustrating the power of a strong will. Some forty years ago a Massacbusets good wife lay in her bed apparently dying with consumption. As The family lived four miles from the undertaker and pastor, and as the roads were badly blocked with snow, the husband when called to the vil lage on business on Tuesday decided—thought ful man!—to save an extra journey #n that bitter weather by engaging the minister and undertaker at once, and appointing the funeral for Friday In some way, on Wednesday, the sick woman heard of this, and arousing herself from her supposed dying condition, declared: “There'll be no funeral in this house this week The funeral was accordingly postponed, it took place last Friday, forty years after it was originally set. The husband is still living at the age of 80. BAKIKQ POWDER, PRICE’S Ofllßß Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard. flavoring extracts. True.

Ths sisal grass of Yucatnn is one of the most remarkable vegetable products known. It grows in long blades, sometimes to the length, of four or five feet, and when dry the blade curls up from side to side, making a oord which is stronger than any cotton string of equal size that has ever been manufactured. It is in great demand among florists and among manufactur ers of various kinds of grass goods, but as soon as its valuable properties become known It will have a thousand uses which are now undreamej of. Ropes cords, lines of any description and any size may be manufactured of it, and a ship’s cable of sisal grass is one of the possibilities of the future. It is almost impervious to the notion of salt water, and it is not readily decayed or dlsintergated by moisture end heat, and will, in time, prove one of the most valuable produc tions of Central America.

Ostrich far ming is one of the important in dustries of South Africa, which, as yet, fur nisbes the bulk of the ostrich plumes for the markets of the world. There are probably 200,000 domesticated ostriches in Capo Colony. Each bird is supposed to net his owner S4O per annum. The inclosures in which they are kept are usually built of stone, but where stone is not abundant wire fences have been employed with equal success. The birds are commonly plucked once every eight months, yielding one pound weight of feathers each, but many farmers only pluck sixty feathers at a time, so as not to cause too much irritation and in flammation, which is very injurious to the health of the birds and lessens the noxt crop of feathers. The birds in these large fields find plenty of food, rarely having to be fed with mealies, beans, lucerne or other cultivated food products. The number of ergs laid varies from eighteen to twenty-four, the male bird usually excavating the nest in some sandy spot, but both birds assisting in the incubation, taking turnabout. But it is during this term of Incu bation that the plumes are at their best and many are utterly spoiled for commercial pur poses. Oflaie years artiflc al incubating has been resorted to and with perfect success, for it has been found that fewer eggs are spoiled by this method and that the young thus hatched are no less vigorous than those brought up by the birds themselves. The value of feathers ex ported from .'ape Colony during the last thirty years is estimate ! at over $50,000,000, the total weight being about 1.200 tons.
