JULY 14. 1900. marine intelligence. Matters of Interest to Shipping Men Generali}'. A notable fact in connection with the increase of ocean carrying tonnage built during the last 25 years, sayfe the Coast Seaman s Journal, has been the great pre ponderance of steam vessels built. Many observant persons have gradually come around o the. belief that the days of the railing ship as a factor in modern com merce are rapidly drawing to a close, and that in the very near future the ocean carrying trade of the world will be con ducted and carried solely by steamers. I o this view we oppose another namely, the fact that the price of coal is increas ing so rapidly in all the great maritime nations as to only make it a question of a very short time hence when the steam ers. owing to the increased cost of fuel will he compelled to increase their rates of freight or else abandon some of the trades that they have hitherto held lo the ; sailing ship. The modern sailing ship that will carry on* what is generally termed “deep water voyages” will be a very dif | ferent vessel from the kind that we are ! accustomed to see nowadays. With the advent of iron and steel as building ma i terials, there is virtually no limit to the size of sailing vessels any more than is to the size of steamers. Already such progressive nations as Germany and France have contrucle*!) and are operating several mammoth Eailing vessels, some oi which carry as much as B.oob ions of car go, and this class of vessels have been found to be very profitable. There are sev eral reasons why such ships are and should be very profitable. First, there is • heir great size, which enables them to carry 300 tons of freight per man employ ed, against an average of not more than 150 tons per man carried by the present “deep water ship;” again, their greater size has proven in every case to mean greater speed, and this, coupled with greater safety, means low r er rates of in surance on both ship and cargo. When such vessels as the German mammoth ship Potosi can make the voyage from Hamburg to Iquiqui in from 45 to 59 days, carrying 9.000 tons of cargo, we begin to have a conception of the speed of that kind of vessel. Such vessels are vastly more profitable than any tramp steamer and their numbers are constantly increas ing. Within a few y<ars the sailing ship o? 2,000 tons register will he a back num ber and the bulk of the ocean carrying trade of the world will be done by sail ing ships of not loss than 4,000 tons reg ister. In Amer ea, Arthur S wall of Bath, Me., has already launched one great sail ing ship of 3,500 tons register, and several more of even a greater size are to follow immediately. The days of the tramp steamer are drawing to a close and the commerce of the futiive will he done, at hast on long voyages, by the handsome mammoth iron or steel-built sailing ships and with greater safety than ever. by Stenninlif i>.

MOM, IE, KANSAS, CORN AND 11F.1.L. A Sunflower Sage Consider* the Re lation* of Thing*. From the Wichita Eagle. Mollie Lease’s advice to the Kansas farmers to "raise less corn and more hell’ proved a prophecy for the Pop par ty, but it cut 4ho hog crop short. Her followers, instead of polishing plough handles, wore the gable ends of their overalls out in polishing the upper decks of convenient dry goods boxes. Mollie s words raised the wind for Kansas popu lism, but they knocked the stuffing out of Kaneas pooketbooks. Mollie's Inspira tion in emptying the rornerlbs filled all the offices with Pops and all the air with the wails of the calamity party. Kansas soil was Just as rich, her sunshine Just as constant, and her rains Just ns fre quent under Pop poverty ns under these prosperous times, when there is an abund ance of everything and good prices. The "less corn and more hell" policy in put ting Pops into office was tough on Kansas. The weeds flourished, but her railways went into the hands of receivers. The whisker crop increased in a notable way, but Kansas hog.s went hungry. With all of this standing undisputed, and none of It forgoUen, the Pop party persistently sneers because the Republicans are claim ing that the good crops of the past two years are due to the Republican party and is policy. Of course, they are. The fact is self-evident and undeniable. If the majority had continued to sit around and do nothing but curse and howl and quote Mollie Lease, Kansas would have been Just as hard up to-day as we were with PetTer In the United States Senate complalsantiy combing his whiskers with his fingers and quoting figures to prove that every man, woman and child In the country could have a million dol lars each, the only thing necessary to make everybody rich being the enactment of a law authorizing the printing of the necessary extra number of dollars. Gov ernment printing presses cannot make good times when ploughs nre rusty, fac tories silent and mines closed, nil of which combined simply means "more hell," and as preached by Mollie. The more com and wheat, the greater num ber of hogs and cattle, the "less hell" there will be for Kansas, Is the doctrine and policy of the Republican party. TRICKS UPON TREES.

Rut to drip the metaphor. For some little time the famous "dwarfed" forest trees of Japan Have been bidding for Western popular- By, and their exhibition amt sale is now of almost annual occurrence. They nro more or less perfect resemblances of tim ber-trees. grown in pots, with gnarled trurika and branches, and leaves to match, and fuily Justifying to the eye their claims to he perfect, If minute, o\- amplars of forest growth. The once fam ous showman, Mr, Yllflin, declared, as the result of his varied experience, that "the older n dwarf Is, the be! IIT worth he is; a gray-headed dwarf, well wrinkled, is beyond all suspicion." In the produc tion of their dwarfed trees the wily Orien tals seem to acknowledge the same prlu clple. The unfortunate tree-dwarf must not only tie old. but must look its ugc. it must have its wrinkles and crows'-feet, its knotted roots, and palsied members. Then it Is n dwarf indeed, ond the better worth owning and exhibiting. Although the greater number of the dwarfed trees come from Japan, the Jap anese owe the secret of their production to the Chinese. It Is the very button of excellence In the cap of a Celestial gar dener lo be an adept in the art of con quering nature, and the practice of mak ing "Koo Shoo" (tree dwarfs) may pos sibly date frfim th** time of Confucius. Various member* of the "conifer" family are the favorite subjects of distortion, though they are by no means the only tribe submitted to it. I#ong exiierlenco has doubtless suggested more than one method of producing the desired end. but the Chinese system may perhaps be taken ns a type of all. The practitioner selects small branch of a healthy grow ing tree, which promise*! well for the operation. Just below an "eye" in the young wood a ring of bark is excised, and the "wound immediately surrounded with a ball of compost, held in position by a suitable envelope This being kept moistened, the branch soorv begins to send out little rootlets In search of nourish ment. Being In every way encouraged lo make the best of its new situation, it pres ently declares its complete independence of the parent stock, from which It is then severe,). Now lieglns the more per bon >1 struggle with untoward fate. Still at tended by Its ball of earth, it is cramps 1 into a small pot. and Just kept alive by a sparing allowance of water, it cannot flourish, and it must not die; those ire the terms on which the artist deals wiih bis captive, and between which it has to find Its own level. But the dungeon alone is not sufficient; the torturer Is called in to assist. As soon as the victim has established a kind of torpid existence, its stem and offshoots are In various plai • , “clamped" with wire fetters, in order to promote the rugged aptiearnnee so neces sary to its future prospects as a dwarf of venerable age. At this stage, also, the roots ore closely scanned, and when nec essary are trimmed, or even seared with a hot Iron. Many deaths occur Just then, but such subjects ns survive Hie treat ment gradually begin to show its effects. With lessened leaves and cramped branch es, they grow into more or Jesg perfect reecmblancee of forest veterans. To con fer a kind of "worm-eaten” antiquity, the branches are occasionally emenred with honey to Invite the attacks of Insects. The plant's natural Instinct is sometimes r.ot fully overcome for ten. or even twen ty year*. But it eventually subside* into the state of dwarfdom, a barely living ex ample of what man's perverted Ingenuity can effect. As one of Ihe many (rb ks played upon trees, grafting stands perhaps only next to dwarfing. Il must, however, at once bo admitted that the former process has been of the most beneficent service to mankind. The Romans, who find a won derful love of gardening—perhaps li was the natural untithcsijj of the warlike ele ment-knew everything that was then to he known in relation to grafting and "budding." But we are confronted by Virgil’s rather slnnllng assertion that any scion may he grafted on any stock. He Bpeak* of apples growing on a pear, and even a plane, tree; or cherries on a plum, and of pours on a wild ash. Now i is the common experience of the moderns that no graft will succeed unless It be upon a stock which bears fruit of the same kind. We must not, however, be too ready to charge the poet with having exceeded the bounds of his "license," for Pliny tells ns of a famous tree in the garden of Lucullu* which bore half a dozen different kinds of fruit. Instances of this kind. Indeed, might be expanded almost Indefinitely. Our own sober and discreet Evelyn speaks confidently of hav ing seen a roife grafted on an orange tree, and Decandolel describes a flourish ing young cherry which sprang bodily from the trunk of an ancient oak. We know that nature occasionally ex hibit* her working In the form of so efilled "freaks," a word which is simply an admission of our own inability to trace Ihe origin of an "effect defective" which "comes by cause.” But the majority of such wonders are often much lees freaks than frauds.
