WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

DiuilnUlied by tha r.arljr lai.
Had congress fixed a seasonable time
of year for the rview its importance
wwuld have been greatly uicreased.
Twicat the number of foreign ships
might have b en in attendance. In a
function"' of this kind each of thelead
inp maritime nations is largely influ
enced by the display that other navies
make. For instance. Great Britain
would have sent whatever ships were
necessary to outshine the fleet of any
other power. Similarly France and
P.ussia certainly and Germany and
Italy probably would have sent some
of their most powerful ships if each
knew that the other would be so repre
sented. Owing to the delay in getting the
necessary appropriation from congress
our government was unable to push
preparations until the last moment,
and as foreign nations could not be ex
pected to take action any earlier than
ourselves, no arrangements were defi
nitely made nntil very recently.
Busia bet th Tac.
Now, in this matter a great deal de
pended on Kussia. The sympathy of
that nation for us in 1SG1-65 has been
well remembered here, and whenever
the warships of either nation have ap
peared in the waters of the other tlie

occasion lias been one of hearty wel
come. If." therefore. Russia decided to
send to our Columbian review a strong
s) nail ron of powerful ships Great Brit
ain would be forced to outdo her; but
if Russia sent only a meagre display of
force Kritannia could afford to rule the
waves with a very much weaker de-f
tack menL
Russia's choice for the parade was
one that showed a continuance of her
warm regard for this country. Seven
of her most powerful ships were de
tailed for duty in our waters and if
they could have arrived here in time
for the review Great Britain's big bat
tle ships would have been found lead
ing the foreign end of the parade. Hut
alas! our worthy legislators made no
change in the date assigned to the re
view in their bill, and in April it had
to lie held. Consequently the Russian
armorclads blocked in the Hal tic by
i,:e. con id not lie got away in time to
take part in the review, and the Russian
snadron that could be present was
limited to a few- light cruisers.
A Limited ttereBtatifMi,
That limitation set the keynote for
ail the other powers. England sent
only oar tirst-class ship the lliake
and a few indifferently good cruisers;
France only one more vesisel than she
sent to the naval parade last October;
Germany a couple of modern cruisers
xnd Italy one or two more than she had
ast fall'
Put if Rnssia could have sent her
seven stately battleships Great Britain
eonid not have sent less than ten. the
triinlor of France would have been
seen on seven or eight, Germany would
have had to keep step with her Gallic
foe. and even Jta'y would have been
forced to send something better than

THE NEW SANTA MARIA.
Almost an Exact Counterpart ol the Orig
inal Caravel.
The new Santa Maria, counterpart of
the caravel in which Columbus sailed,
is 22.00 metres (74 feet 2 inches) lonp,
and has 7.80 metres (25 feet 7 inches)
breadth of beam. Her depth at the
centre or main deck is 4.10 metres
(13 feet 5 inches), which the high up
per works increase to 4.90 metres
(16 feet) at the bow, and 8.20 metres
(5 feet 10 inches) at the stern. Thise
measurements are believed o be those
of the original caraveL It will lie seen
that the hull is short narrow, and very
high as compared w ith modern ships
The curves are also different from those
of any ship built at the present time.
Two small anchors, relics of the tii.vs
of Co'itmbus, which have been pre
served in the navj-.yard of Carrara aro
on board the caravel. Although they
are in very good condition in spite of
their four centuries of exposure, they
are more for ornament than use.
The officers" quarters are iu the upper
part of the ship at the stern. The fur
niture of the commander's cabin is like
that of the ancient ship, which was
fully described by Columbus It con

THE DUKE OF VERAGUA.
tfkrtrh of the Iitlliculhrl Irrcudaiit of
4 histopher Colunibu.
The Duke de Veragua, who. with
other distinguished foreigners, came to
this country to see the n;val review
and attend the World's fair, is tha
thirteenth in descent from Christopher
Columbus aud for this reason alone is
a notable man. But he is not one of
those indolent beinps who are content
with ancestral houors On the contrary,
he is noted for his vigorous personality
and for the originality of his views on
those subjects to which he has given a
lifetime of thought n.iuiely. cattle
breeding and agricultural improve
ments Moreover, he is a statesman of
no mean calibre and his opinion earrh-s
considerable weight in the lilieral
councils of Spain.
Though comparatively wealthy, the
duke is by no means us rich as some of
the older families of Spain. His income,
much of which is derived from his ex
tensive and well manaped estate, is es
timated at $-'.0,000 a year, and this is
small when compared with the incomes
of a few very old families whose an
cestors were potentates when Christo
pher Columbus was unknown. The
duke, however, is one of the greatest
grandees in Spain, and the prestige
which necessarily attaches to his des
cent from Columbus is very great
Maple Sugar.
From the Johnston n Tribune.
The season is pretty nearly over, but the
subject is still timely, and the New York
Su lakes it up, with the result of producing
a very readable article.
Tbe&u is naturally rather inclinelto
claim that the maple orchards of York Stale
produce the richest sap, but in mentioning
tbecountry's sweetest spots it includes the
State of Vermont and doe not fail to men
tion Somerset County iu Pennsylvania. It
was uot, however, a York, or a Vermont, or
a Somerset County farmer whom the i
quoted as declaring, " Let me make the ma
p'.e sugar of the country aud I care not who
makes its songs and its laws," but it was a
merchant of the metropolis, and everybudy
will agree that could be have bis way the
snap would be a powerful one.
But the Sun dues not stop at gpuerali tit
It goes right duwn to the root of the tree at
weil as the subject, and gives its readers in
formation. For instunce, speaking of roots,
it mention: the peculiar fact that whereas
in Yolk State, it is better to tap the trees a
few feet above the ground, the best resui a
have been obtained in Vermont and S i:r.er
set County by " bleeding" aa close to the
roots as possible. The sensitiveness of the
tree is also dwelt upon, and the scientific
fact made known that immediately before or
immediately after a "(quail" the sap runs
best; that it may snow l.ke a Mizztr.1 and
blow a regular nor'wester and not Interfere
with the rising tendency of the street waier,
whereas, a warm wind from the Soutii win
act as a plug and thesuar maker will !iur
in vain.
The i'un also calls attention to the fact
that the quantity of sap does not increase
with the number of trees to an acre. It dues
not say that one tree would produce as much
as fifty but that there is a limit, not only as
to quantity, but n to the sugar bearing
qualities of the water which cau be drawn
from a given area. Everything is iu this
earth of ours, the 5uu intimates, even to the
coloring of the arbutus and the blue eyes of
the baby, and it only requires chemical
change to produce the most astonishing re
sult. Now comet in Bellows Falls, Vt., with its
special correspondence. The correspondent
instances several big groves of in ij.le trees
that cover the hillsides of Vermont which
have been set out the same as a'.h or tp
pie trees are planted in rows and a: this
season of the year buckets hang by wire
books to gslvanized-iron spouts in every on.
of them. Not so in our own Somerset Cjua
ty. There the wooden spouts still drips the
nectar into wooden dugouts, or, at the best,
earthen crocks, but the resultant syrup, cr
spotza," or sugar, is none the less sweet on
that account
The Vermonter says that in a good easun
the sspof a single tree will make about one
gallon of syrup, or four pounds of kiijar
The piice of first-grade syrup varies from
ninety rents Ui $1 per gallon, wuhemipie
sugar of prime quality brings from ten to
fiften cents a pound. It is thus easy to figure
what a "sugar orchard"' will yield to its
owner.
In Vermont, as stated, the old method of
boring a hole into the maple tree aud then
driving a wooden spout in the bole thus
made has been abandoned. The wooden
spout is no longer used. In iu place there
is the galvanized iron spout, which is so
made that when driven into the bole it does
not choke the pores of the previous year's
rrowth, from which runs the sweetest sap.
The spout has three longitudinal Hinge,
spreading in order lo cut into the wood and
thus bold the p jut firm. Turn the btrk is
neatly shaved, and a rim p-it around lo keep
the tap from running down the trunk.
The old wooden tTjughs or buckets a'e
vldom used. In their place are tin orgalvaa
ted iron buckets. They are hung front the
Ofcil by a hook fastened to the spout. Both

the bucket and the spout have cover, which
prevent rain or snow from mixing with the
sap and discoloring it. The sap in the
buckets is emptied int.) big tubs or into
round, boiler-like receivers. It is then
taken on sleds to the sugar house on sleds,
because in the orchards, during the sugar
season, there is always plenty of snow.
The Vermont man winds up his article
with the statement that much of the maple
syrup sold in the market is adui erattd.
This, he -says, is no fault of the makers,
who put up the genuine article. It is the
work of dealers, who want to increase their
profits. Perhaps twice as much maple
sugar and maple syrup are sold every year
as is made from the sap alone, and much of
it is produced from the residuum of sugar
and molasses barrels.
Don't Tell AH They Know.
If a newspaper man plainly made public
all that be knows about the hidden move
ments In business or social life be would be
able to create many a tensation aa well aa to
enlighten the general public concerning
many things whereof they are likely to die
in iguorance. We suppose the Catholic
priest and the physician know more than
any of their neighbors concerning the per
sona! life of the community iu which they
live, but auexpciienee of a quarter of a cen
tury leads us to the conviction that the
newspaper man comes next to them in the
abundance of Lis knowledge, and ill Certain
dertinents be does not yield even to them.
Nor is his discretion less great, for in spite
of his anxiety to print a readable sheet and
contrary to the general impression that he
puts everything he hears and much heim
ajjiiics into his newspaper, he is o:ie of the
most secretive ol men and carrits about with
him a whole menagerie of secre'.s, the es
cape of auy one ot which would create a
prodigious uproar and sometimes bring a
proud htad low. But it is seldom that one
gets away. Altovmi Trilmnt.
