I f i-t l)i'(Miiiiivj an linvp's',l;i itv. In old times the farm was n e!f nr.lHvt;iijt world In Itself. The wells, Hpr.av's n.nd cisterns upilh"l water; vhe diMiiestlo animals gt nil ihelr f.xxl from 't. and It pr.xluo-d Its own fertilisers. By notation of er.ps, by li'ttintf land lie fallow and by the use of frrtlllz'ns material produoed on the firm, the land wart ttept fertile. U:hl descended fivm the clomls without any human a;t'iiey. Vow the condl Hons are very diflV.vnt. The fanner's eiiillren wish to compete with city children In education and In general t-uiiiirp. Hut outside of the. personal iiv.iccr. of which this Is but one de ment, modern conditions affect h'sllM In n iuuli broader H'nv llie tin lency now Is to work the soil In larsi ureas devoted to a Rlule crop, and M ne machinery In all farming opera- tluiis. Kor many years iast the Am erican Inventor 'has lxvn busy Invent' lr.2 most Iniren'ous machines for ml tivatltiK the ground, for sow'n the seel -and for harvesting the crops. :i Account of the Inventor's work tin Western farms, with tielils of wlr-at reachlnir to the horlaoii. cultlvaied l.y ftutiiu drawn plowa, ami whose crops are harvested by ttroat madiineH drawn bv tenuis of many horses, have in come a possibility. The Kreat n real i-.-nn of rhe 1'tiited States is ilue to tlu lueelinnical Inventor. Iti the same order of th'njs Is Uia modern fertilizer. For different crops 1 iff. -re nt fer tillers are made In fac tories. As the trreat natural source. of phosphoric acid were overdrawn, the Kuropoan njjrinuliur'nt has utiliJied the flnely-iii-oinKl slair of the basic uteri pro'iss. The farmer depends n longer on rhe barnyard, but -.uimhases bis iilaut food 'n the most approvej form, made in factories from the most uiuironiisititf soutws of supply. The Atlantic coast Is patrolled by etoam ers wliose occupation Is the catching of menhaden or bony fish. After tho oil is extracted from these fish, tlio farmer has a claim on what is left as a source of nitrogen for his crops. South American uitrate of soda Is an other source of nitrogen. The fler man mines supply lilm with Ids potash ami the Mending of all the elements Is effected In the fertilizer factories, whose processes are guided by the most exact chemical analyses of their materials. Kven in the matter of local transportation the farmer in 'being taken care of. The electric road, t whrwe operations, "heedless of vesli.nl rlgihts, so many highways I'avo Teet surrendered, bids fair to -evolutionlze the aspects of rural life. It Is believed by many that the electric road will eventually haul the farmer's products to the. c'tles or railroad station, and Hie Improvement of country roads has actually been discouraged by thoso who believe In the highest develop ment of this form of traction. Where tho process of development oj modern life will end, It is hard to see. The farmer, wtio would seem to be the last to be subjected to modern sclen t'fic advancements, 1 really, speaking relatively, the one most affected. Me chanical, chemical and electrical science flvave changed h's entire status. Among lnveutors the farmer i.s recog nized as the Held for most useful work In Invention. Man may yet learn to dispense wltili coal, and the steam en g'ne may be relegated to the past. Tho elf-contained energies of the cosmic system may yet be used to replace tho motor which during the last decades has replaced them. Windmills and W'aterwheels represent tho utilization of cosmic energy, and mankind may be driven to a more extensive use of the mechanical powers of nature. But for food production, it seems ih If the soil for many years to come must be rhe only resource. Synthetic chem istry has to make enormous advances before it can produce palatable food. Already It lhas done something In pro ducing glucose and saediarlne as su gar substitutes, but until the synthesis nil the large scale of carbon and 'hy drogen Is effected, the synthetic chem istry will be 'nclion tc. In the modern march of progress, the farm"f will hold his own. The changes in his processes, the abollsihinont t.f the quiet rural life, and of the farm av an al most self-contained unit of existence, are brought nlmut by the devotion to his Interests of the cnrghteiiment of the world, and the world in its turn is more and more dependent on hhn. Scientific American. THE SEAS OF THE WORLD. TIib first mention of the Gulf Stream Is In the Journal of Alaminos, the pilot of I'once de Leon, In 1513. It. Is estimated that the water of tho whole ocean contains In solution over 2,000,000 tons of pure silver. Tho rph nen moves by alternately ex panding and contracting the folds of Its body, like an carm worm. tsvorv tinv tirotubcrance on a branch of coaral represents a living animal, which grows from it like a piani. nne kind of sea-bladder has no mouth, but absorbs all Us nourish ment through the pores of Its body. Th Rml Sea takes Its name from the presence of great numbers of anl- maleulae of that color in mo waicr. It Is estimated that two years arc required for the gulf water to travel from Florida to the coast of Norway. The proportion of salt In sea water Is largest where the water Is deepest, but does not Increase with the depth. The coral Insects are said to con sume prodigious quantities of worms, Bmall fish and other living creatures. If the surface of the earth were per fectly level, the waters of the ocean would cover It to a depth of 600 feet. It Is estimated that more gold and silver have been sunk In the sea than are now In circulation on the earth. The ocean hydrae have no heart, no lungs, no liver, no brains, no nervous system, no organs save mouin m skin. A colony of medusae has been com pared to a collection of muslin sunbon nets floating right side up In tho wa ter. The Banks of Newfoundland are formed by the sand, earth and stones brought from the north by the ice bergs. Over one-half of the sand of every shore Is composed of minute shells, each of which was once the home of a living creature. At the lowest depth from which specimens of the bottom have been brought up 116 different species of in fusoria were found. The bed of the North Atlantic con sists of two valleys, separated by a mountain range that runs from the Azores to Iceland. The water of the ocean contains gold, held In solution by the Iodide of calcium. The quantity Is about one grain to the ton. The water of the oceans, notwith standing numerous local influences, is nearly of the same composition in every part of the world. Sea anemones have been known to live for three or four years without any nourishment save what they ex tract from the water. The Yellow Sea of China Is so call ed from the presence of yellow mud washed down by the great rivers that empty Into its waters. The first map of the Gulf Stream was made by Benjamin Franklin, who tried to point out the utility of ocean currents in navigation. The Venus' Belt Is a thin, flat mem brane from one to two feet long, and about the width of a lady's belt. Its mouth is in the middle of its body. The sea anemone is capable of swal lowing an animal many times larger than itself. It spreads its body and thus surrounds its prey. Coral larvae aro born alive and swim off to seek a locality on which to set tle. After they have once bt.ome fixed they never again change place. Franklin taught that the ocean cur rents were due to the influence of per manent winds, in which opinion he was sustained by Sir John Herschel. The color of the sea la usually de scribed as blue, but it is by no means uniform. In the tropics it is some times an indigo blue, at others a deep green. The actinia swallow Bea shells and their Inhabitants, and when inconven ienced by the presence of the hard sub stances, simply turn themselves inside out like a stocking and get rid of the intruding shells in this way. St. Louis Globe-Democrat CHOLLIE'S SERIOUS MIND. It Wat HoikI by I'oollOi Quotloin and Vfty !i'iptl.v llrtiHIml. The dudo met a friend of Ms nt tho club and sat down by him with a tired air. "By Jove, Frank," ho said, "I may look like a fool, but I'm not one, am 17" "Well, no." hesitated Ihe friend; "I should say appearances in your case were deceptive." "Thanks." "Why?" "Because," replied the tired youth, not recognizing the relevance of the "why," "I meet so many people who ask so many silly questions. For in stance, the day I got home from mjr summer vacation I met an acquaint ance on the street and he greeted me with, 'Ah, there, are you back again?' Pon't you fancy he could see I was back? Then I met a lady on a train the other morning, about fifteen min utes after It had started, and she smiled and said: "Good morning. Are you leaving town?" Do you suppose she thought I was not leaving town when the train we were on was going away from It at forty miles an hour?" and the dude heaved a sigh. "Oh. those are only expressions," said the friend. "But aren't they silly, Just the same? Only yesterday a man came Into my office, and after talking to my partner for a while he noticed me in the back room and greeted me with. 'Hello, Chollle, Is that you?' And the man has known me ever since I was a boy. Do vou fancy he thought It was some one else"? Another friend met me while I was on horseback the other evening, and when I stopped In response to his hall he said, 'How d'ye do? Are you taking a ride?" 1 wonder if he thought I was walking?" At this nolnt the two were Joined by a third man, who had evidently bppn with the dude earlier. "Hello, Chollle," he said, "did you get here at last? "No." replied Chollle, looking hope lessly nt the man he had been talking with. "I haven't got here yet. Can't vou see I haven't?" And the third man demanded an ex planation of such a fool answer to a civil Inquiry. Keep the Baby Fat. iook aflen-c ! " Cavf. SrniNfi. Oa.. May 21, 1P94. "My babv was a living skeleton.

Through the earnest agitation ot the question by Nathan Haskell Dole, of Boston, it Is quite probable that a chair of Russian language and litera ture will be established at Harvard college.
