Peruvian Mines Situated at Great
Elevations.
Highest Inhabited Place in the
World.
The daily pros* published an article
a short time slnco in which it was as¬
serted that Mucapata, 1’cru, is the
highest inhabited placo in the world,
having an altitude of 16,158 feet or
more abovo the tei level, white Gal-
ora, a station on the Callao and Arroya
railroad, is given by statisticians ns
the highest inhabited place. Neither
is correct. It seems strange that so
little should he known of a region
that has been inhabited by a civilized
people so long and ono so full ot in¬
terest as Peru, hut during a residence
of eighteen mouths In the Andos in
that country I found that a traveler in
those altitu 'cs learns little or nothing
of it, excepting what information he
picks up by personal observation di.
rectly along his route.
This is owing to thefact that, with
few exceptions, the only people he
meets are Indians and mini* (half-
breeds), both of whom are extremely
ignorant, and can give a stranger no
information about the country, not
oven in tho immediate vicinity of their
residence. Neither can much infor¬
mation he obtained even in the cities
among tho wldtes, as tho Peruvians are
not inclined to trouble themselves to a
great extent witli statistics or the
topography of thoir country, so s
stranger traveling through Peru must
rely upon his own observations for
such information as he desires, and
when he reaches an altitude where his
health almost forsakes him and hi*
heart pumps like a steam fire engine
he loses much of that keen desirff ho
felt for a knowledge of this romantic
country when lie first touched her
shores, and his only wish, amounting
sometimes almost to anguish, it to
reach a lower level where he can draw
a full breath.
Business kept me in the Cordilleras
of Peru for a period of fourteen
months, I being for all that time at
an elevation ranging from 15,500 to
over 17,000 feet above sea level, and
I several times visited what I believe
Is, bsyond doubt, the highest inhabit-
ed place in the world—that is a little
mining camp near the ruin* of tho
Old town of Annanca, in the district
Of Sandia, Pern. This old mining
town is situated at an altitude of 16,-
400 foot above sea level, and at ono
time contained about 800 iuhabitanta.

gained her independence from Spain
they were compelled to desert their
mine* and homes, and floe the conn-
try. Ail that is left of the oid town
today are the walls of the houses and
the church, las boca* de las minoas
(tunnels) and las trapiches (stoue
mills), tfce with which they pulverized
ore.
The mines comprise two large veins,
from fire to twenty feet in thickness.
of low-grade ore, and runniug into
them are numberless stringers, some¬
times not thicker than a knife blade,
and opening out at intervals into pock¬
ets ot extremely rich ore. These
stringers are being worked today, and
tbora just above and overlooking the
old town of Annanea, are men drill-
ing, blasting and gadding at an ele-
ration of 17,280 feet above tea level,
and surrounded by perpetual sno*v.
At this great elevation the air is ex¬
tremely light, and none hut an Indian
born and raised in the Cordilleras cun

A Big Tree.
Another mammoth tree, one of the
largest hitherto discovered omtide of
California, ha. been found near Arling-
ton. Snohomish county, Washington
It is a cedar, and measures sixty-eight
feet in circumference. Around the
knotty root, the tree measures ninetv-
nine feet. About reveuty-five feet
from the ground it forks into four
immense branches, and just below the
forks is a big knot hole, Five men
climbed into the hole and explored the
interior of the tree. It was found to
be a mere shell, aud about forty-five
feet down it would afford standing
room for forty men. The tree is still
green, and a remarkable feature is said
to be that it has hark both on the i„-
side and outside alike.—[Picayune.

thinning fruit.
A Missouri farmer says that be

, rate of twelve trees in ten hours.
I They were Jaige enough to yield an
average of six bushel* to a tree. He
: figures in this way: If he had a tbon-
sand trees it would cost him $85 to
,
have thpm thinned, with labor at $1
I per day, or $170 at $2 per day. He
i
l lias but few culls among his apples,
j nu< l the selected crop will easily bring
him ten cents per bushel more tliau
the fruit from trees which were not
thinned out, which, at six bushels to
tho treef won ld increase his sales to
f60Q.
I Again he claim* still another great
! advantage. It is not the growth of
j i the fruit that oxh au*ts the tree so
much aB the formation of the seed,
and by reducing the number of seeds
grown by picking oil oue-lialf or two-
thirds of tho fruit that sets, he relieves
the tree so that it can form fruit buds

in the fall for the next year’s crop.
Iu ten years he has not had a failure

THE butter fat in milk and cream.
During the past few years several
methods for extracting the fat in
milk, adapted to the use of creameries
and cheese factories, have been de¬
vised hv different chemists. Most of
theso methods, says Professor J. M.
ltartlctt, chemist of the Maine Station,
arc useful in testing milk and can be
usod for testing cream; hut none of
them seem to be especially adapted to
tlio latter purpose, and consequently
ore of no great value to creameries
that collect cream only. The need of
somo method for determining the
value of each patron’s crcain is now
acknowledged by every ono that has
had much experience with creameries.
The following are given a* instances
showing the necessity of accurate
tests of Die value of cream:
Even if the patrons of a creamery
all use -the cold, deep-setting process,
and are careful to keep the water at
about forty degrees at all tun3§, the
cream from ditterent animals or herds
may vary several per cent.
Fifty samples of cream raised by
this process collected at creameries
were tested at the Connecticut Exper¬
iment Station and showed variation of
six per cent, of butter fat. One sam¬
ple contained 23.8 per cent., another
17.78 per cent.
Again, tlio temperature at wliich
milk is kept makes a very great dif¬
ference in the quality of the cream. If
the water in which the cans are sub
merged is allowed to become warm
the cream will be much richer than
when it becomes cold. It is said the
percentage of fit iu cream from the
same cows may he increased ten per
cent, by keeping the water at seventy
degrees instead forty of degrees.
Several samples collected by a
creamery agent were tested. The low¬
est yield of fat was twelve per cent,
and the highest thirty per cent, The
most of the samples have from seven¬
teen to twenty-two per cent. If this
creamery had allowed equal amounts
of butter for every inch of cream a
great injustice would he done to some
of the patrons. The description given
by Mr. Bartlett in the Maine bulletin
of the processof determining the per¬
centage of fat in milk and cream is
too lengthy for reproduction herc.~
