A SUBMERGED RAILWAY.
THE INGEM or 8 SCHEME FOR
LOADING SHIPS
A Valuable Mine Vory Inexpensively
Worked.
Tho mines of Onion, near Bilbao,
North Spain, have long been celebrated
for their richness in the, yield of iron
ores suitable for the manufacture of
steel, but great trouble has heretofore
been experienced in the shipment of
the mineral on account of the difficulty
of placing it on hoard of the ships.
Kngland ami the Continent arc tho
great markets for this product. The
const adjacent to these mines is high
and rocky, exposed to the full force of
the sea, there being r:o harbors in the
immediate vicinity. At the foot of
the rocks there is a sloping shore
which extends out to a considerable
distance, with an even grade. It is
upon this incline that the remarkable
railway wo arc about to describe has
been constructed.
The roadbed of the railway lias a
length of about 650 feet and a width
of 20 feet, upon which two sets of
parallel tracks, each 3 1-4 feet, wide,
are placed, constituting a four-rail
railway. The grade is live feet to the
hundred. The car which traverses this
railway, upon which the ore is con¬
veyed from Die cliffs to the ships, con¬
sists of a high metallic tower made in
file form of a pyramid having a wide
triangular base. The tower is mounted
on wheels, which run upon Die quad¬
ruple railway track before mentioned.
The platform of tl e lower upon which
the load of mineral is placed is about
70 feet high from the track, a height
which is sufficient to riso above the
decks of ordinary vessels when tho
tower 5s run alongside thereof; and
from the platform the discharge of the
ore is made directly into the hold of
the vessels. This great rolling tower
is operated automatically. It is con¬
nected to the shore by means of a
strong wire cable, which passes over
pulleys fastened to the rocks. At tno
land end of the cable there arc attached
some weighted ears that move up and
down upon an incline. These form a
counterbalancing weight for pulling
the tower, when empty, in toward the
shore.
The mineral to be loaded upon (lie
vessels brought from the mines, which
are not far distant from the coast, up¬
on rope railways mounted upon posts.
From tho mineral dumps upon the
rocky heights the mineral is conveyed
part way down the cliff to a chute, the
end of which projects beyond the cliff,
nnd when the empty tower iH drawn to
shore by tlie cars before mentioned, it
automatically opens an end gate in tho
chute nnd allows the mineral to drop
upon the platform in a continuous
6treain until a weight of ore sufficient
to overcome Dint of the counter¬
balancing weight or weighted cars
has fallen upon the platform, and
when this tnkes place, the tower by
its own gravity begins to move down
the inclined railway, and the gate of
the chute automatically closes. The
tower continues to glido down the in¬
clined way through the water until it
readies the side of the ship, w hich is
anchored fore and aft, ami then by tlie
throw Of a lever, the platform of the
tower being inclined, the whole load
upon the platform is almost instantly
deposited upon the ship, going down
through suitable slides into the hold
thereof.
As soon ns the discharge of the load
takes place, the counterbalancing cars
begin to draw the tower inward again
toward the shore, and thus the opera-
tion of moving the tower back and
forth automatically, mid automatically
loading and discharging itself, is ear-
ried on with the greatest success.
It is said this railway operates even
when tho sea is extremely rough. It
certainly is a buhl cnderlaking, and
reflects the greatest credit upon its
constructor, Mr. I). M. Alberto do
l’alacio. The platform carries for its
load 100 tons of ore. It is said that
5,000 tons of ore per day can bo put
on shipboard by means of this appara¬
tus, the total cost $18,000.— Panama

Wonderful Reform.
Chinese officers draw pay according
to the number of men serving under
them. From time immemorial every
officer has been permitted to lie to the
number of ton men, but a month ago
the young emperor issued a decree
that this must be stopped and that tho
liars must tell (he truth. Tha down¬
fall of the empire is predicted through¬
out the army.
The Mule Is Nowhere,
Arabs who have had experience
with mules in this country say that
old obstinacy is no comparison to a
camel for general meanness. A
camel will set his own gait and a prai¬
rie fire can’t make him move faster,
and if he takes a notion to lie down,
his driver can bail# a fire and roast
him, and he won't move.

George Zadock, a New Jersey farmer
of 65, protested against his taking a
third wife he turned to aud licked them
off the farm to prove that lie was a
better man than at 45. It wai an
argument which silenced all opposition.
FOR FARM AN1) HARDEN.
MtXKD CIIASSKS.
A good mixture of grasses for hay
is timothy, rod top, mead «w fescue,
orchard grass, and tall oat grass—six
pounds ol' the first and ten to eneh of
the last per acre. Thick sowing is
necessary for the reason tlint a portion
of the light chaffy seeds may not grow.
For successful growth of grass the
following requisite must he provided,
viz.: Good soil made very line, fresh
seed evenly sown, and a filial light
harrowing after sowing. Seeding
alone early in the spring is most advis¬
able. A dry spoil following will not
lie hurtful if tho seed is covered in
with a light harrowing on line soil.
The above-named grasses will not run
out if the meadow is occasionally fer¬
tilized or manured and is not pastured
too close late in the fall.— [New York
Times.

“Colic in our horses,” says an Eng¬
lish veterinarian, “is generally (he re¬
sult of careless or improper feeding.
The stomach of the horse is small and
limited, nnd if the horse is hungry and
overfed, or is allowed to gulp down a
big feed, colic is tlie result, or if musty
bay or musty or sour feed is used, or
if fresh-cut grass wet with dew or rain
is hastily eaten in large quantities,
colic is often tho result. The earful,
thoughtful man who feeds his horses
regularly rarely has colic to contend
with. More frequent feeding of small
feeds is better than too much feed at
once. See the skilful hoiscinan on the
ship with his horses tied uj> without ex¬
ercise. lie cuts down his feed to keep
the horses with keen appetites. A very
little overfeeding produces colic.”
Too much cold water when the horse
is heated and tired is a fruitful source
of colic, as is also loo much green
food, which from its succulent nature
is liable to undergo fermentation.—

The object of some experiments
made at the Kentucky s ation was to
determine flic relative values of shelled
corn, corn meal and corncob meal for
fattening purposes and (lie length of
time these feeds would produce pork
at a paying figure. In this trial it was
found that corn meal docs not fatten
so well as shelled corn, Nitrogenous
food produced less flesh but a more
hardy development than did lion-ni¬
trogenous foods. The following is a
brief summary of the results:
1. Shelled corn produces fat more
rapidly than other feeds tested.
2. Corn produces fat at a cheaper
rate than other feeds tested.
3. Shelled corn produced pork nt a
profit for 63 days. Cornmeal produced
pork at a profit for 63 days. Corncob
meal produced pork at a profit for 54
days.
4. The Chester Whites fattened
more readily than the Tom Binds on
the same quality of food.
5. The nitrogenous foods produced
so little gain in live weight that it
be attributed to growth and not to
fattening.
6. Cotton-seed meal could not be
fed profitably.
7. Much corncob meal was wasted
in feeding being picked over and
refused.
8. Tho pigs fed on nitrogenous
foods were so much stronger than the
others that they caused them serious
injury when turned out to run together.
9. Of the nitrogenous foods tested,
that of corncob meal nnd ship stall' in
equal parts was (lie cheapest.— [New

i ri D >it Eon.riiv.
When feeding fowls many persons
seem to think any delay in putting
down a full supply is dreadfully
wasteful of rime. Why a lien’s time
should be thought of so much conse¬
quence would puzzle them to toll. If
they feed wbol.i corn it must bo put
through tin' sheller and thrown out by
handfuls. Wateli them as in tlieir
eagerness they gobble tlieir mouths
fuli, and then, stretching up tlieir
necks, let all go ('own in a heap.
Much the better way, if corn is to Do
fed at all, is to shell it slowly and
throw it among straw, to be scratched
over before all of it is found.
Smaller grain, as wheat or oats,
is better than corn, and
partly because thus scattered among
stiaw it is harder to find. For the
same reason, if meal is used it must be
wet to enable the chickens to cat it
faster. Young chicks are often killed
by wet food. It clogs in tlieir little
crops which most need just the exer¬
cise that digesting whole grain would
give. An unused organ soon becomes
not onlv inactive, but unlit for action
So the dyspeptic lien becomes (lumpish,
and finally dies, all from the effect of
unskilful feeding. Young chicks a
week old will eat whole wheat, and
even earlier they will eat it if broken
into small, hard bits.—[Boston Culti¬
vator.
MAKING AN ASPARAGUS BED.
That is if you have not one already.
Every owner of a garden should have
a bed large enough to afford a liberal
supply of this early, palatable and
wholesome vegetable. It i« the earliest
vegetable that can be grown in this
climate entirely in Die open air, and,
if properly cooked and servid, most
people al e fond of it. Old gardeners
and writers on gardening made tho di¬
rections for starting a bed so difficult
of execution that most farmers, who
kave but little time to devote (o the
garden, were frightened out of an at¬
tempt (o cultivate i(.
Thu ordinary directions for the pre-
pnrat'Ons of garden soil for vegeta¬
bles are applicable to asparagus,
namely: Make Hie soil deep, fine and
rich. It is perhaps advisable to spado
up (he asparagus bed rather deeper
than would be necessary for most
other t ogctahlcB, ur the crown of the
roots should ho planted about four
inches beneath the surface and tho
roots wi’i penetrate to a great depth in
search of appropriate food and mois¬
ture. If you follow the old direc¬
tions nnd trench a plot for the aspara¬
gus, throwing out from eight to twelve
inches of Die surface soil and then
breaking up the subsoil a spade in
depth, the soil will be deep enough.
As you turn the surface soil carefully
break up all lumps with the back of
the spade. A plot equal to a rod
square will afford a liberal supply for
an ordinary family when it gets well
started. It is vvell to dig in a good
dressing of fine stable manure with
the surface soil, but it is not essential,
for you can top dress the surface every
an t,mil f you wish.
After breaking up the earth fora
bed make the surface tine with the
steel garden rake. Then dig drills
about six inches in depth, lengthwise
of the bed about three feet apart.
Then plant good, strong one year old
plants eighteen inches apart in the
rows, placing their budded crowns
whence the young stalks start, about
four inches below the surface level,
spreading the roots out in the trench.
Now cover the crowns two inches and
leave tho remainder of the trenches
tin.illed until Inter. The soil around
the young plants will warm up much
quicker and the shoots start sooner
than if the trench should be filled to
the surface. As the stalks grow the
soil can be drawn around them until
the trench is filled. Home would plant
the roots closer than three feet by
eighteen inches, but an asparagus bed
may stand half a century, and it will,
in a few years, become a mass of roots
ii planted at the distances named.
For the first two years you want to
keep the tops growing until they attain
full growth, but if seeds form cut
them ill', as they unnecessarily cxlmust
the soil. Before the ground freezes
fo: winter out down the tops, rake
them off and cover the surface with
rich stable manure, which may be dug
in lightly in the spring. Sometimes
in (he second year, when occasional
stalks start of good size for cooking,
we have used them, but generally we
do not expect much for the table until
the third year. Then the larger sprouts
may be cut freely when from four to
eight inches high. We cut just below
tho surface so that all may be tender,
and we like them cooked and served
with cream and butter the same as
green p as. The asparagus bed may
be made just as early as tho ground
will do to work.— [Now York Herald.

Don't depend on one cop.
Eight sheep may be kept for every
cow.
A fast walker is better than a fast
trotter on a farm.
Don't deprive yourself and family
of fruits ami vegetables.
At this season of the year feed the
cows all that they can take care of.
There is something wrong at one
end of tho line when a grower of a
cow lias to “break” her to milk.

Styles For Horsewomen.
The lively discussion concerning tho
attire of lady riders seems to have
borne fruit, for a few days ago Bourne¬
mouth was scandalized by the appear¬
ance of a lady riding on a cross-saddle,
in trowsers. She certainly was a brave
woman, for the staring and laughter of
the populace seemed to have no effect
upon her. Habit-makers, howeyer,
deny that ladies intend to adopt the
manly saddle, and they ought to know.
One tailor lias devised a novelty which
is a kind of adaptation of the divided
skirt for riding purposes. The habit
skirt is dived at the back, and the loose
material forms wide ieglcts. The
great advantage of this skirt is, that
should the rider have a fall, there is
nothing that could catch on to the
saddle, and I should not be surprised
if it was adopted by many enthusiastic
fol.owors of tlio hounds. I believe
there is one saddler in London who
confesses to making cross-saddles for
ladies; but lie admits that the sale for
them is extremely small. Some women
there are to whom riding is tho be-all
and end-all of existence, and these oc¬
casionally ride out on cross-saddles.
But this only in the privacy of their
own grounds. Perhaps now, with the
example of the Bournemouth lady be¬
fore them, they may grow more bold;
but though I rejoice in the freedom of
woman, it is a change that should be
very sorry to see. The manly costume
is never becoming to the form of lovely
v oman, and I hope tha\ tor the sake
perhaps of a little extra comfort, they
will not adopt masculine habiliments.

Tho question is often asked, says a
correspondent of the Commercial Ad¬
vertiser, “Why is it that so many plain
women marry welj, wlii'e pretty girls
either do not matry at all, or m ko
matches that arc failures from a 1IICI1-
tal, social and pecuniary standpoint?”
The fact is woman’s idea of a man
is of a creature differing but little
from (lie domestic quadruped with
which she surrounds herself in the
home circle.
lie is evidently to her not a superior
being, not the noblest work of God,
Avith mental faculties cultivated to tho
highest degree of. mortal attainment,
Avitli noble aims and high ambitions, a
pure soul and clean hand -, who always
strives after the best and brightest that
earth can give.
A pretty girl in early youth is sur¬
rounded by a set cf vapid boys. Nat¬
urally she forms lier judgment of men
from them. Therefore her idea of
mankind is not an exalted one. She
finds that to look pretty and to dress
tastefully, to dance, and chat upon the
most frivolous subjects, is all that is
required in order to be a success.
1‘rctty women, as a rule, do not
give as much thought to the cultivation
of their intellect as they would devote
to the manufacture of a new bonnet.
For a brief space, while youth lasts,
her wares apparently find satisfactory
returns. Men praise her pretty face;
they seem to enjoy her society; she is,
therefore, satisfied. But after youth
lias lied, carrying with it her bright
eyes, her rosy cheeks and roguish dim¬
ples, when mind and not matter is to
be weighed in the balance, how
grievously is she then found wanting!
There was no soul behind the bright
eyes to keep them forever brill.ant, nor
mind to illumine the pale face and
keep it forever fair. All that she ever
possessed or cultivated she finds it tlv n
too late to avail of. Hbe lacks the
energy to bestow her care and atten¬
tion upon graver matters, and thus
embittered by the cold looks and colder
words of her quondam admirers, sho
sinks into a stale of apathy, drifting
aimlessly with the tide, and finally,
ends a life of dreary maidenhood,
without having made better or brighter
one soul for her living.
