SPEED OF THE CARRIER PIGEON. Blu Rocks Travel at the Rat of 32.8 Mile Ptr Hour. Borne years ago Grimt mad some Observations In a closed gallery on tho apeed attained by "blue rock" pigeons and English pheasants and partridges. The two first mentioned flew at the rate of only 32.8 mtlea per hour, while the partridge made but 28:4 miles, and these rates were considerably In ex cess of what they made In the open. The carrier pigeon 1s a rather faet flylng bird, yet the average speed la not very great. Thus, the average mde 1n 18 matches (The Meld. Jan nary 22, 188"), was only 30 English miles an hour, although In two of . these trials speed of about 06 miles was maintained for four successive hours. In this country the average raring speed Is apparently about 85 miles an hour, although a few excep tionally rapid birds have mnde short distance flights at the rate of rro;n 45 to 62 mllea an hdur. The longest re corded flight of a carrier pigeon was from Pensarola. Pla., to Kail River, Mass., an air-line distance of 1.18.1 miles, made In 1B14 days, or only about T6 miles a day. Pertolcum Briquets as Fuel. The manufacture of petroleum brl quests has become a somewhat Import ant Industry in France. The briquets consist of either crude or refined pe troleum, mixed with certain chemicals, the nature of which la kept as a trade secret, and are made In molds under a pressure of 300 pounds to the aquare inch. They weigh only half as much es coal in the same bulk and give twice as much heat. They keep In good condition indefinitely, are not dangerous in any way, burn with a white flame about eight Inches In height and give off neither smoke nor odor. The Welsh Language. At a recent eisteddfod at Dolgelly, Wales, one of the principal speakers stated that in 1871 as many as 1,006, 100 persons spoke Welsh, but in 1891 the number had fallen to 811,280 a decrease of 85,811, though the poula tlon had meanwhile increased.

Annojrnncrs That ton front the lull Toa er lrwln( for Mentis A I'eeallar Class of Man ho Ksieem It tirrnt Privilege to Kntartaln the flayers. From the moment that the profes sional ball player finishes a series ot Samoa on his home grounds until he has completed the trip around tiie cir cuit that is provided by the league schedule ne Is harassed by two fears. The first and l"e gi enter Is that he r.iay be allotted the upper berth in sleeping-ears, and the second the diead of losing his plnying form by lack of exercise. A third annoyance, notwithstanding the fait that the beet of hotels are provided for tho players by the club owners, Is the oooblonal lack of suf fn ient food. That Is, these strong, healthy ball players insist that they do not always obtain what their ap petites demand. And there Is a rea son for their eomplilnt, although it is not the owner's fault. It is the sleeping car berth, how ter, that is really the bane of the professional player'a existence. He will endure almost anything in the way of discomfort without a complaint, but will grumble during the thou sand and five hundred mllea of travel, giumble and complain like b spoiled child, If he is compelled to sleep, as lie describes It, "under the car roof." Very frequently when the ball clubs r.iake long jumps, ;ike the trip from New York to St. Louis, a special car in furnished to the club. It Is given exclusively to the players for the trip. There they live, a happy, laughing, good-natured crowd, until It is time to retire on the first night out. If there be a young player or two young players on the team, woe to them! They get the ui per berths with out any consideration. It is part of their Initiation into the business, and proud Indeed Is the beginner the first time he is allowed to draw for the chance of a lower berth. He knows he is no longer considered a novice. In the urawmg, tho manager of the team first reserves a lower berth for himself, another for the captain, one for the business manager, if there be C'CC, and lower berths for as many newspaper representatives as happen to be traveling with the club. All the ether sleeping-car tickets are put into envelopes and sealed. Then the play trs are permitted to draw, beginning rs a rule with the man who has been longest with the club After tho drawing has be-n made, some of the players who arc thrifty, and who are willing to submit to a "room in the attic," now and then sell their lower births to companions, who are ready to advdi.ee half a dollar, sometimes lc6S, for the privilege of sleeping "downstairs." In some of the club.i an arrangement la In vogue whereby the pitchers ere given the lower berths. This is es pecially true of the teams where tho pitcher also happens to be the man ager. He Insists that good pitching 1.1 the most Important part of he game, and that the pitchers should be giv en every opportunity to rest in order that the team may be successful in Its games on the road. The other play ers, on the contrary, maintain that the pitchers work only once in three or four games, and have ample time to recuperate. The feud between the pitchers and the other players ot a professional baseball nine is almoHt as old as the game, and it has yet to be settled in u manner satisfactory to both sides. Long experience has taught the pro fessional ball player how to take life easy in travel. Almost all of his jour neying is done in the hottest month3 of the year and very wisely in his dress he adapts himself to prevailing conditions. Loose shirts, low collar, thin lounging coats and airy caps make him the envy of men who swelter and fume in apparel more dignified but far more distressing, when the dust is fly ing in clouds that threaten to suffo cate the rassengcrs, and when heat waves, radiating from embankments and level stretches, undulate contin uously through the car. Dominoes are popular with the ball players. It is easy to carry the box of pieces around and there aie always candidates for the pastime. On some teams two men who are fond of erlb hr.ge will begin on the very first trip to play a scries of games, and will rrolong It indefinitely. Two players o the Boston club once played more then two thousand games of crlbbage in a season. The other members of the team Insisted that this pair counted "fifteen two, fifteen four" in their Bleep. There are stiff games at caids now and then, but if it comes to the man ager's oar that the stakes ere high there is sure to follow a little private hearing in the morning, at which the player is cautioned not to repeat any niore "flve-dollar-linilt games." At the more important stations along the railroad the small boy, by some intuition that is all his own, invariably manages to pick out not only the train on which the ball pl.iyers are travel ling, but the car In which they ride. If, among the gaping urchins, there Iiappens to be one who, at some time In his life, has been taken to the me tropolis and has eeeu a game of "real league ball," It devolves upon him to pclnt out the celebrities to bis more unlearned companions. "There's Mathewson!" shouts a tow beaded, freckle-faced lad, and In a moment Mathewson, the pitching wonder of the baseball world for a year, is the centre of two score in quisitive eyes. "Say, he only looks like great bis boy himself," . one youngster, whri stems rather disappointed not to find au aged Individual with etreaki of gray in his hair. . "So much the better," declares an other. "It Just i hows wnat a .boy can do If you give him a change. Hey, Malty, show us how to throw an out curvei will yon?" Not infrequently 1 have seen the blj pitcher of the New Yorks condescend to give the urchins a demonMtratlon of curve ball pitching. Anil rest as sured that the next time the "Eaglo Eyes" of the village played tn i "Young Riffles" of the adjoining hamlet, they lind for ihelr pitcher the youngster who by that time enjoyed the reputa tion of having been "one of Malhew f.on's boys." With that prestige to start with any team would go Into the gone with the battle half wen. Rut if there are small boys to watch for the ball players along the railroad!) there are larger boys to entertain them when they reach the various cities of their destination. There U a l ecullai' class of men in every city of the United Elates where a profes sional baseball Is played who tpend a great portion of their time and no small portion of their money entertain ing the players. They get nothing in return for it, and expect nothing more than to have It generally known that they are fi lends of Davis, Lajole, Dorvle, Col lins, and one hundred and one men who have made baseball famous. If the player wants to smoke, 'lit cigars are his. If he wants to drink, there are drinks so long Bi he wants them. If he desires to go to the theatre, his accommodating patron will secure the tickets, even though he be obliged to pay a premium for them. When the players are on the road they seldom get morning practice, and that affords them no little worry. Con slant oxerclBe is necessary once the season has fairly begun. A ball play er does not train to the fineness of a college athlete competing, for example, in a rowing crew, but even then he stiffens up quickly end his playing term vanishes 11 he Ones not keep bis muscles in proper trim. Strange to tay, with the knowledge of this truth, there are few of the players who exert themselves further than to walk around the block now and then. They ere always willing to take the chances. There are not many of the players who are early risers. It is true too, that there are few who ere In any great haste to get to bed. The tendency of many of them, who have graduated from minor leagues, where they have not been fed on pate tie fo'e gras and a few Rlmflur delicacies, Is to eat all there Ib on the bill of fare when they first Kit at table In a first doss hotel. The veteran knows better. Experi ence has taught him a lesson. In fact the veteian ball player is something of an epicure, and be is Inclined to be rather abstemious than otherwise. A hearty breakfast Is perhaps tho best meal of the nay. At luncheon a little Eoup, perhaps a vegetable or two some ice cream, and Bllce of water melon In season. That's all before the game a queer combination, but a ball player with an overloaded stom ach is an abomination to his manager. At night, and here is where the profes sional player grumbles, and really has a grievance, the dinner is often cold. The player, after finishing the game, changing his uniform, and preparing himself for the evening, arrtven In the dining room when the dishes are be ginning to cool and the waiters are impatient to get through. Uut there is misery In store for the wulter who shows it. Not a moment that the player is not under the watchful eye of the manager. Sometimes he believes that he Is not, and when he should l.ave been In bed Li 11 o'clock he fixes up a dummy in the bed, which the manager may ece if lie peeps fnroiighout the key hole to ascertain whether everything is all right. Next salary day, however, he dis covers that that dummy has cost him a fine ot ten dollars. If he Is wise he takes It gracefully. He knows that it he does his duty on the field and plays excellent ball In the next few weeks he is likely to find tho ten dol lars returned to hiin. Frofesslonal ball players, notwith standing their yearj of discretion, are a great deal like overgrown boys, and they have to be treated as such. They r.ioy get a little boisterous in public now and then, but ahnoat never are in tentionally offensive. Each year finds tl.em growliilg ubotit the hord work that falls to their lot to travel around the country and have a good time, and each year they declare will be their last. But they are around next, spring hunting up the old trials and tribu lations, including the lower berths, as ot they had never gene through them before. John ' B. Fotter, in Collier's Weekly. A Be Cenaaa. The last census figures showing "bees, honey and wax on farms and ranges" in the United States have just become available. From this sourct it is learned that the total number of farms maintaining beea in 707,261, rep resenting 4,109,62G swarms. The value of these four million odd swarms is estimated to be $10,183,613. The apiary industry. shows increased ac tivity in some sections of country and h notablo decrease In others. The ag gregate figures show a loss In the pro duction of honey, indicating that train ers are now devoting more attention to the production of the latter. The value of the CI, 196,010 pounds of honey and the l,7'i5,315 pounds of Wax pro duced by the country's bee swarms during a year la estimated to be $0,- 604,904, a very liberal return on a capital representing only ten odd mil lion dollars. 1 he Place for Pawl. It Is not creditable to farmers that their fowls are Induced to lay eggs in horse troughs, under the barns or In locations other than nests In the poultry house. There should be A place for all flocks, and the fowln should not be allowed to utilize places Intended for lnrger stock. A large flock of hens will sometimes make the atablos and bains filthy and will roost on wagons, carriages or implements If allowed the privilege. Improvement In Farming. This Is an age of Improvement on the farm, as well as In other kinds of business. Tho farmer muist read and study, and bo awake to everything Mint will advance his Interests, in or der to keep at the front; and he must Ve there in order to succeed. It Is utterly libelees to try to form a our Rian.lt others did, if we are to keep up with the procession. It Is good economy to purchase new and Im proved implements If we tine judg ment in buying. We may just as well ride on a spring seat In plowing er harrowing as to wear ourselves out in walking day after day behind the team. On no account should an implement be purchased unless it can be housed when not In actual use. Hemlock boards and shingles are far cheaper than Implements, and It is economy to have a tool shed. Judg ment is to be used In the breeding and feeding of stock, that the farmer may l osscRS something really valuable and worth showing to his friends, because this is the stock that It pays to keep. F. II. Dow, In The Epltomlst, ITeluilnc the Colt. The future usefulness of the colt de pends upon nothing so much aa the teed during the first year of Us life. To be useful in any way a horse must hove good bones, and, above all, good joints. Bones are built, like the rest of the body, from the feed con Mimed by the young animal, and if the food does not contain the ele ments essential to the growth of bone It Is evident that there will bo a weak ness In this part of the organism. The milk from the dnm contains a large proportion of tho most necessary min eral substances, such as lime; but the colt Deems to require much more in a f hort time and may be seen trying to take occasional mouthfuls of soil. Probably no materials at the farm er's disposal contain more mineral or bone forming material than bran and oats, and tho colt should have plenty ot these and good clover hay from the start. It is quite safe, as a rule, to give as much as two quarts of these concentrates mixed, per diem as soon as the colt can be taught to eat them, and this may be gradually In creased, and character should be close ly studied, however, and the ration guaged accordingly. Theseconcentrates and clover hay, being rich in protein or flesh forming material. Induce rapid tendon, as well as bone, and the right kind of feed, and nature will do tho vest, so far as bodily development is concerned. J. H. OriBWold, of tho Canadian Experiment Station. Rnmtra In Mieap As I have until last winter depended on hay and sown cornstalks, fed alonif with cornmeal or oats for sheep feed, I had not had up to that time any ser ious trouble with scours in Bheep. But last winter we had a shortage of hay, so we fed the sheep once a day all the millet tlitiy would eat. At noon they were fed a ration of meal and wheat bran, half and half, mixed thor oughly, and then a few cornstalks. We fed the millet for the morning ra tion, and at night the sheep had all hay they would eat. When they, were about half winter ed, I noticed that one of the late lnmbs and an old sheep bad lain down and refused to eat. I drove them up and watched them, and found that they had the scours. Then I looked after the flock and found that several of the old ewes had tho scours. I stop ped feeding the sheep millet, and .fed hay Instead for three days. Then I fed them one-third millet with two thirds of hay for their morning meal,' and had no more trouble; but the lamb and the sheep that refused to eat died. Shocp when ailing often are cured by a change ot diet. Sheep require plenty of water to do well. There la nothing that will deteriorate a flock of sheep so badly and so quickly aa being deprived of plenty of good tvater. When sheep have free access to water they will drink many times during the day, and this they should have if one wishes a fine, healthy flock of Bheep. E. M. H., In New York Tribune Farmer. Forelns Lata Crops, Most farmers suppose the usefulness of the hotbed la over when the weather Is warm enough to begin planting out-of-doors. They allow It to grow up to weeda and remain Idle except during the two months or so when It Is In use for starting plants. The bed may be used much more. The glass may be used to protect plants during nearly all the year when It Is Impossible for them to live un protected. It U Impracticable to raise many crops in tho hotbed, and Its utility la largely as a means of pre paration or starting plants which are to be transplanted Into the open air. But aa such it may be made more use ful than It Ib by many farmers. Crops which have to be planted late iu New England, like beans, squashes, etc., may be started In the bed under glass as soon as the tomato plants arc out, or earlier, and with a little care can be got ready for market much earlier than otherwise. Squashes and cucumbers are easy to force In this way, aa they may be readily trans 1 innted If care Is used. They may be put in paper baskets, strawberry I askets, or removable, pot's, and thus rllowed to attain some size without dunger In transplanting. It Is best to put beans lit baskets or pots, as they are tender and morn sensitive than most plants. Thcr Is no reason why bcaifj may not be transplanted In this way. I know one gardener tvho start ed 300 hills one year. The old notions about the delicacy nf some plants are losing ground. It Is no longer thought necessary to oh p.erve, with superstitious exactness, rertnln hours In the day for hoeing beans, and others for cabbage. With proper core, any plant may 6e trans planted and lorred at the will of tho gardener. For seme things which toko n long season to mature, as water melons, this method of toning' Is es pecially useful. For this purpose, too, the cold frame Is fully es good as tho permunent botlicd. In many coses It may be more convenient, as It can be renillly constructed anywhere. It re quires only sash and a few boards and Is made without dlgslng. W. E. STERNE, American Agriculturist Green Mannrlat Crops. Tin? best time to begin with green mnnurlal crops for plowing under Is as soon as the ground can be worked, as it is then possible to grow two crops during the year. It is custom ary with some to sow rye cr crimson clover In the fall, to be turned under In spring, but the mistake made Is in not following with anether green rianurial crop, whenever possible by which method three crjps can bo plowed under In twelve months, though the rulo Is only two crops. Farmers, however, ore not partial to losing a year's time without some re turn in the form of a crop that can be harvested, for which reason they plow the crimson clover under the plant rorn, or follow the rye with a potato nop. As crimson clover adds a large amount of nitrogen to the soil when plowed under It is really a salable crop, tha farmer providing a home market therefor as It saves him the cost of the same amount of nitrogen in commercial fertilizers that he might be compelled to purchase, and although the corn crop brings cash, yet the the crop takes from the soil the fertility thereof, and the gain may not really be as large as supposed when the receipts and expenses are compared, especially if the soil Is not fertile, as It costs more to grow corn on poor soil than on that which is fertile, owing to the larger yield on rich soli reducing tho cost per bushel of corn, the proportionate outlay for labor being less. Crimson clover should be plowed un der when the plants are In blossom. and just beginning to ripen the seeds. for then the crop contains the largest amount of nitrogen, for the longer it can be continued Into the warm sea son before cutting or plowing it the greater the advantage for the bacteria to work on the roots. If plowed un der, and the ground seedad to cow- peas, another nitrogen-gathering crop tun be plowed under, and if the cow peas grow rapidly there may yet be another; but as the land Bhould again be seeded to crlnmon clover In Augimt, It Is better to turn under a single heavy growth of cow peas, though It crimson clover Is not desired there may be a second crop of cow peas. .which should be followed by rye In late fall. The decomposition of so much green material in the soil will result in the dlBengagciiient of considerable car bonic acid, which will also exert some chemlcnl effect on the Inert plant funds of the soil, thus increasing tho proportion of available mineral mat ter, but some soils may be rendered sour; hence the use of lime, lute In the fall, when harrowing for tne latest crop seeded, will he tin advantage, as It will neutralize the acid of the soil und assist in putting it In better con dition for tho work of bacteria the fol lowing summer. In some experiments made It was found that limo did not Increase the yield of seeds or vines of cow peas, but Btich results may be due to the fact that lime acts slowly, and that where such soils were limed better results will bo obtained another season. Some of tho advantages gained are the ac cumulation of nitrogen In the soil, the rendering soluble of unavailable min eral matter, the protection of the soil with covered crops, the addition of large amounts of humus-forming ma terlol to the land, and the mechanical changes In the soil. The only disad vantage is the loss of the land upon which a marketable crop can be grown during the year, its value depending upon the kind of crop and the capacity ot the soil. Among the other green crops that are seldom used may be mentioned corn, millet, turnips, rape, sorghum, soy beans, etc., but the crimson clover and cow-pea crops are preferred. It is claimed that turnips, by reason of their deep penetrating roots, appro priate a large proportion ot the min eral elements of the subsoil, which are brought to the surface when they are plowed under, thus following cow-peas as an aid in increasing the amount of available mtnoral matter, but the nitrogen from the cow-peas la a clear gain to the farmer, being derived from the atmosphere, while the mineral matter is taken from the lower por tions of the land and brought within las reach. Any method, however, that renders the plant fooda In the soil more available should be adopted. Philadelphia Record. P EARLS OF THOUGHT. Mercy Is often egotism dressed in white.

Orowlh of Ilia (treat Cities. The growth of Berlin the last ten years has been phenomenal. Chicago is the only one ot the world's great titles that has Increused In population ot so rapid a rate, and it is a question an to whether it or Berlin now has the more people. A census taken very recently glve3 Berlin a population of 1,901,567, which i.inkes it t.ie fourth city In the world, according to the record's, being exceed ed In population only by London, New York and Paris. In 1900 Chicago had 1,843,000 people. The Chicago newspapers claim that Its population Is now larger than Berlin's. In 1890 the United Slates became the only countiy with tlnce cities of more tliun 1 .0011,000 population, each, and still holds that distinction with New- York, Chicago and Philadelphia. Should Boston's grand plans of ter ritorial expansion end annexation be carried out a fourth city will be add ed to tli is before the next census is taken, and St. I .on Is will probably not be tar below the million mark. The growth ot our cities has sur pilKcd the nations, but It is a pity that it ,'in3 been accomplished to such a great extent by draining the rural I'intrlctH and the small town.

Not one of the Edwards was crowned with his queen in Westmin ster Abbey, except the first king of that name, and it is furthermore re markable tiiat the coronation of Ed ward I and Queen Eleanor was the first that took plnce In the present Abbey of Westminster. King Edward II was crowned alone, for he was not mar ried at the time of his succession; the third Edward was a boy ot 14 when he was crowned; Edward IV was unmarried at the time of his coronation; Edward V, though he was born in the abbot's house at West minster, where his mother bad fled for sanctuary, and was so nearly crowned that even wild fowl for the coronation banquet had been ordered, was never actually crowned, and Ed ward VI was a boy of 10 when the cermony was performed. Hence, from the auspicious' occasion upon which the good Queen Eleanor went to West minster Abbey with hor husband until the present day, no Edward has been crowned with his wife. London Chronicle.
