FED BY MACHINERY. An Expeditious Method of Fatten ing Fowls for Market A French ProceM br Which Chickens and Ducks Are Epwlily BronRUt to a High State of Perfection for the Tabla. l There is a poultry-raisinjr. establish ment in Baltimore county at which all the modem appliances for hatching and rearing chu-kuus are in practical operation, nays the Ualtiinore Sun, and where the "htuiling" process of (ceding; known for many years in Trance as en praissement, is used in fattening both chickens and ducks for the market. About five thousand chickens and as many ducks tiro annually fattened by this process at this place. The owner of this establishment is an American who has spent many years of his life abroad, especially in France, and lie has made a thorough study of the meth ods' followed in the land where gastron omy has been reduced to a science and where tlio inner man is more assidu ously com iilcrcd than anything else in the world. And it is because years of experiment! n,T in France, have proved thut poultry fcl by the process de l'cn graisscnicut fiH more toothsome and less expensive to vhe grower than poul try fattened by tb'i ordinury processes of nature that lie has established this place in Baltimore winty upon an al most French basis. Incubators are now by no means the curiosities they were u few years ago, when tlio public paid an admission fee for the privilege of seeing one ia operation. Many farmers have improved upon the old time more or less careless methods of raising chicks or ducklings, but there is no other place in Maryland where tne "stuiling" process is in veguewithall its modern, humane and economical ap pliances. The process is based upon the simple principle that a fowl wiil grow fat most rapidly when it is given tho maximum of food and allowed the min imum of exercise. Fowls fed by 'Ten graissemeut" are not only given all the food they ea;i eat but all they can hold, and they are not given any exercise. When the work of feeding fowls in this manner is being put in practice which is not the ease at this season of the year the interior of the feedicg house is on 'interesting place. It looks like a large prison on a small scale, with tier upon tier of tiny cells reach ing from the iloor to the ceiling. In each of these cells is a bird being pre pared for- market. Its quarters tire rather confining, for it hasn't room to turn around in and scarcely room to rise to its feet. Running along in front of these cages, which fit their occu pants as if they had been made to order, is a trolley track, high up near tho ceil iug, and from this is suspended the feeding apparatus proper.,, It may, by means of weights, bo put atuny height, and may bo moved along the trolley track from one end of tho building to the other, thus enabling the feeder to put his machine in front of any cell he may wish. The feed, In the form of soft mush, is put in a reservoir holding a gallon or more. From tho bottom of the reser- ' voir the food runs through a rubber tube into another receptacle, tho ca pacity of which is regulated by a screw, according to the extent of the meal , to be given to tho fowls at that special feeding. From tho second receptacle protrudes a tin tuba about' four inches long ana as tnicK as a icau pencil, aim this tube is thrust down the fowl's throat and 'into tho craw. This dono the pressure of a lever empties the con tents of tho receptacle into the fowl and it settles down to rest, digest and grow fat until meal time comes again. The fowls do not take kindly to this method of feeding at first, but -after a day or two of It they seem to relish its novelty and luxury, and begin to crow and cackle in anticipation as spon uu the feeding apparatus is brought into use. L'engraissement has been practiced in France for many years. Before the improved appliances were inveuted the .operation was curried on in several ways; One of these, called engraisae ment aux patons, consisted, of insert ing little cakes of dough into the fowl's mouth, and forcing them down with the finger. In another case, engralssement d'lcutonnuir, the food, in liquid form, was poured into the bird through a funnel. A third meth od, still more primitive, called gavago a la bouehe, consisted in tho feeder's tilling his month with tho food and blowing it down the fowl's throat. As soon after the hatching as they are able to determine, the sexes are sep arated, and when they are three and one-half months old they ore put in tho "pens of plenty." Fowls thus treated have been known to double in weight during their confinement in the pens. Their meat is far tenderer and sweeter than that of fowls raised in the ordi nary nianner;, and is devoid of all ob jectionable strlnginess. They are, the owner of the Baltimore county estab lishment avers, more suitable for table purposes than capons, and do not have to be fed and cared for more than a quarter of the time that capons re quire. NO CHANCE TO BE PIOUS. 1 Hals-Driving Mountaineer's Keaaa for Nover Attf iillii rhurrh. The circuit rider iu the Went Virginia mountains one day overtook a moun taineer driving a pair of mutes along the road and engaged him in conversa tion, as was his wont, says the Detroit Free Press. "You will excuse me," said the good man, 'but I am the preacher on this circuit, ami I want to know the people who live here. I suppose this is your neighborhood?" : 1 - "Yes, sir, I live down here on Greasy, just bey ant the forks," was the prompt response. ' ' r -, " :' : ",,.

' HOW COYOTES HUNT. Thar Take Tarns In Chasing the Fleet footed Jack Itabblts. "Did you ever see a pack of coyotes a-rustlin' for grub?" asked an old miner of a reporter of the Moreno (Cal.) In dicator. "I've lived on the desert for nigh onto thirty years," he resumed, "and seed many a queer sight, but coy otes a-rustlin' for grub beats them all. Them animals are as well trained as any body of soldiers ever was under Gen. Grant. They elect a captain, whether by drawing straws or by bal lot, I don't recollect off-hand. Just at daylight a reveille calls the . pack to gether, and they come yelpin' and howlin' over the desert like a lot of things possessed, their appetites sharp ened by the crisp air and eager for their regular- diet of jerked rabbit meat. The avant-couriers sniff around among the sage bush and greaseweed, while the rest of the band form into a big circle, sometimes spreadin' out on the plain over a radius of two or three miles. The couriers head a jack rabbit in the circle and the coyote nearest takes up the chase. "You know a jack-rabbit can run ten times fasten than a coyote, and when the one in pursuit gets tuckered out the next one takes up the chase, and so on till the jack falls down dead from exhaustion. Then the whole pack leap onto him, their jaws snappin' like sheepblades in shcarin' time. Then when the jack is disposed of another reveille is sounded and the pock again forms into a circle and the circus is kept up until every one of the yelpin' yeller devils has satisfied his appetite, sometimes klllin' hundreds of jacks and cottontails for one meal, fur a coy ote can eat a jack as big as himself and then look as if he was clean starved to death. I was clean through the late unpleasantness with Den. Grant, and I know what scientific generalin' is, and them coyotes know as much as any soldiers that ever lived about army tactics. The commander in chief is usually the oldest coyote in the pack, and he sits on a knoll where he can give orders to his lieutenants and aids, and what they don't know about am buscades, maneuverin' and field tactics ain't worth knowin'." THE WEATHER ON MAES. VlBlblo Evidences of a Warm Spell on the Planet. An Extensive Thaw Observed Which In dlcated a humiuor Benson lu the Southern lluiulsphcre of Our ' " , ; ... Neighboring World. , Among the most Interesting observa tions of Mars during the recent opposi tion were those relating to tho gradual disappearance of the snow cap sur rounding its southern pole. The disap pearance was due, of course, to the fact that it was summer in the south ern hemisphere of Mars, and the polar snows molted more ond more rapidly as the sun rose higher upon them. Yet, although the renson was plain, and be cause it was plain, ono could not watch the process without experiencing a strange feeling that amounted almost to awe. It is quito easy, says the Sci entific American, to think dispassion ately of the possibility that somo things may go on in other worlds just as they do in this one as long as your eyes huve not confirmed what is in your mind; but when peering through a telescope yon actually behold such occurrences, the effect is startling. It is like com ing suddenly in broad daylight upon the scenery of a dream. On June 1 tho snow around the south pole of Mars was 2,400 miles across. A snow cup of proportionate dimensions on tho earth would, in the northern hemisphere, ex tend as far south ns St. Petersburg, tho southern point of Ureenlnnd and Mount St. Elias in Alaska. By July 1 tho di ameter of tho snowy area, had dimin ished to ill Knit 1.500 miles. On August 1 it wos only 1,100 miles and on August SI, the date of the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere of Mars, the snow cap was but 500 miles across. But heat accumulates in a Martian summer after the sun bus begun to decline, just as it does upon the earth, and accord ingly the melting of the snows contin ued after the solstice was passed". At tho end of September the diameter of the snow-covered region was only about I S50 miles, nml at the opening of Novem ber it was loss than 00 miles. Now comes a curious fact. About tho middle of Oetober it was reported that the polar snow cap of Mars had van ished; some of the most powerful tele scopes failed ,to. reveal a trace of itl Yet it is not probable that It had actual ly entirely disappeared. The explana- South side Main Street. $ 60000 $21,000 interest on time deposits. Proper attention jlven to collections. IVals tu forejgn and domestic exchange lion oi tiie apparent disappearance is no doubt to be found in the fact that us the snow area diminished it left the pole uncovered by receding to one itie, for previous observations haw? shown that on iors, aa on the arth, vhib may bo called the "pole of cold" docs not correspond in location with the p6te of the planet "6 axis. Schiaparelli's observations ia 1K77 and 1S79 showed that the center of the snow cap during its minimum in those years wan dis placed toward that side of the pole corresponding to an areographic longi tude of about 40 degrees. With the other Bide of the planet turned toward the earth the snow cap would have been invisible, being, so to to speak, hidden behind the pole. This is apparently jun'i what occurred in the middle of October last. ' The south pole was then free from ice, and the center oi tho snowy region was displaced, b 4 in 1ST and 1S79, along the meridian c JO degrees. But it was on tho other tide of the planet which was at that time presented toward the earth during the best hours for obser vation, and consequently no polar snow wnj seen; not because it had no exist ence, but because it was concealed. I It ia probable, however, that at its minimum tho snow cap was exceeding ly small, perhaps less than ono hundred miles in diameter. No such rapid and and extensive disappearance of snow and lye ever cscurs upon the earth, al though the ;ulvoeates of an open polar sea may find encouragement in the fact that the uncovered south pole of Mars corresponds in color and general appearance with what are believed to le the water areas of that planet, while what remains of the snow cap in such circumstances rests apparently upon a mass of land, perhaps no more than an island rising out of the polar ocean. Owing to tho larger eccentricity of its orbit, the extremes of temperature on Mars are greater than upon the earth, although tho total amount of the solar heat received by the planet is less than half as much as we get. But more im portant than these differences is the rarity of Mars' atmosphere, which has been so clearly demonstrated by the recent spectroscopic observations of Prof. Campbell. It may hot be scien tific, but it is certainly human to ask whether it is probable that human be ings resembling ourselves were includ ed in the field of view of our telescopes last autumn, while we watched the southern snows of Mars sparkling to the sun and melting away at his ardent touch. If such beings are there they must exist in an atmosphere less than one-quarter as extensive as the earth's. THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. Thar Are Situated Many MUM Distant from Honolulu. The group lies in a chain distant from Oahu Beven hundrod to twelve hundred miles. weRt bv northwest. There are several records of its discov ery. Ocean island was quite well known as early as 1830. In that year the English vessel Gledstanes was wrecked on its shores. In 1870 the United States cruiser Saginaw was lost in these waters. She had gone down there to dredge a channel and provide a station for old side-wheelers then setting out as Pacific mail liners. The only losses of life were from small boats. One boat, sent up this way for assistance, was lost just off Kauai. But one of the crew was saved. He brought the news to Hono lulu. In a few hours Capt. King, now minister of interior, was off aboard a schooner carrying a relief expedition. Next day, at the request of the Ameri can minister, an island steamer was sent after tho schooner. Long was master of the steamer, and Capt. Rice, now of the tug lilou, was mate. They beat Capt. King only twenty hours to Ocean island. The Americans were gone. They had been picked up by a sailing vessel. An inquiry thotstirred naval cicles followed the loss of the Saginaw, and Honolulu was made the port of call for the Pacific mail. Of the three side-wheel liners, one was burned at sea, one at Hong Kong, and the third lost off Panama. Years ago two whalers went ashore in one night on Pearl and Hermes reef. The vessels were lost entirely and several men drowned. In 1885, tho English craft Dunnater Castle, coal laden from . Newcastle, was wrecked on an Ocean island reef. A small boat sent for help found its way here. The Waialeale, Hale, master, was dispatched to tho rescue and brought all hands to Honolulu. The crew of tho Saginaw first found water on Ocean island. At one timo the carrying of guano and phosphates to the United States from the midway group promised to become a great business. The discov ery of phosphates in Florida and other states along the Atlantic coast had a depressing effect on the fertilizer traf fic in the United States. Metal and Earthenware Soldered. A new electrolytic method of great use to plumbers is the joining of metal to earthenware. The earthenware should have an unglazed surface, but if otherwise the - glaze is removed and the surface coated with plum bago and placed in an electro lytio bath, thus obtaining a metal lic coating. To this . coating the lead pipe can be soldered in the or dinary way by means of a plumber's "wiped" joint. This process, it is said, will probably supersede the use of rubber , sleeves! washers and putty, with which imperfect joints have often been associated. . THE WORLD'S CRIMINALS. Is 1S50 there were 6,737 persons in the prisons of this country, or 893 per 1,000,000 of population; now there are 5P.25S, or 1,180 per 1,000,01)0. TnK prison population of India, large as it is, is only 38 per 100,000 in habitants, or less than half the propor tion that prevails in Great Britain. Is 1800 there were 45,833 penitentiary couvicts in the United States, 19,838 inmates of the county jails and 14,846 boys and girls in the reformatories. In Saxon inurder cases the number of compurgators demanded was some times very large. One case is recorded in which the judges demanded 1,000. Exkcvtions ceased to be public in England in 1855. Before that time they were in the squares in front of the jail and attracted thousands of people. ' Is ISS7 103,359 persons were arrested in Great Britain for crime, of whom TflsruEic walls. Where the Old Son? "Yankee Doodle" Was Written. Oreenbneh Hat a Building That la Being Despoiled by the Hand of Corlos Ity Seekers Mo Effort t Preserve It. Though hundreds of people In that vicinity know that near Fort Cralo, which stands upon the eastern bank of the Hudson in the little village of Greehbush, the famous old song, 'Yankee Doodle" waa written, yet not an effort is being made to preserve its historic walls. After standing for over two centuries and a half, says the Troy Times, this structure, which is the oldest house in a state of preservation in America and the last landmark of early colonization near this city, has been abandoned, and neglect and the despoiling hand of the curiosity seeker are rapidly reduc ing it to a state of dilapidation. It is an authentically established fact that the erection of this old mansion was begun in 1G30, but the structure was not completed until 1642. Con jecture places the causes for the delay upon the Indians, but the real reason is unknown. ' The old mansion was built as much for a place of refuge and defense as for dwelling purposes, and In its earliest days was known as Fort Cralo. Sev eral of the portholes, through which guns were protruded that sent many an Indian to the "happy hunting ground," still remain in the walls. That the place must have been repeat edly attacked is proven by the marks of arrow-heads and bullets that are plainly to be seen about the portholes. "While the Dutchmen were on friend ly termB with the Mohawks, the tribe of Indians that lived in this vicinity, the Mohegans, or river Indians, often made raids upon them. When these savages massacred the inhabitants of Kingston (then Esopus) in 1003,' the people living along the Hudson from that place to Fort Orange fled to Fort Cralo for safety. The place was always prepared for a siege, and was capable of making a thorough resistance. Six years after the attack on Kingston, the combined forces of the Mohegan and Massachu setts Indians burned the villages about Schenectady and murdered the inhab itants, but they did not come near the fort, though refugees from all along the river had again sought the protec tion of its walls. When, in 1775, the British ministry endeavored to reduce the French power in Canada, the colonists were ordered to enlist for an expedition against their northern neighbors. Gen. Amherst was appointed to command the Eng lish army in northeastern America, and in the summer of that year he camped his regular troops on the grounds of the patroons, in Greenbush, and here the "Yankees" from New England joined them. This motley crowd of farmers pre sented a most ludicrous appearanoe to the British soldiers, ' and they took great delight in ridiculing their Ameri can allies. The raw recruits did pre sent a most ludicrous apperance, hav ing gathered together with no attempt at uniformity of dress and totally with out discipline. , Dr. Shackburg, an army surgeon, cel ebrated for his wit, composed a song, in which he satirized these farmer-soldiers, and called it "Yankee Doodle." The English soldiers began singing it in ridicule, but it immediately became popular with the Yankees, and they made the camp ring with the old jin gle, even though its humor was at their own expense. Little did the tailor made soldiers think then that this was the tune that they would be made to dance to a few years later. : Up to within thirty years the old mansion was still owned . by the - de-. scendants of the patroons, Dr. Jere miah Van Rensselaer being the last member of tho family to occupy it. An idea of the antiquity of the house can be most fully realized when the events bf its period are considered.' It was built only twenty-one years after the landing of the pilgrim fathers, and John Washington, the grandfather of the first president of the United States, did not sail for Virginia until fifteen years after the house was erected. A structure of this kind should sure ly be cared for. - If allowed to remain in its present neglected state it will soon be in a state of complete dilapida tion. A place round which history has wound such a wreath of famous inci dents, as it haB about old Fort Cralo, should be watched and treasured as one of the dearest keepsakes of the na tion, and as a reminder of America's infant civilization and struggles for freedom. The present generation may not appreciate its true historic value, but the generations to come would look upon it with far more interest and feeling. A Newly-Dovolopod Industry of Much Importance. Destined to Become a Source of Great Front to Aroerlrau Agriculturists Some Valuable Infor mat Ion We find in a special report of the commissioner of labor the latest statis tics relating to the phosphate industry of tho United States. Tho report, says the New York Sun, not only shows the actual output of our phosphate mines, but estimates the period during which the industry may be expected to con tinue. Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner of labor, points out in his introduction that the value of the discovery of phos phates, from an agricultural view point, cannot be overrated. Previously to 1841 tho principal commercial fertil izer had been bone dust, but, in the year named, guano wasintroduced from the Chineha islands of Pern and, ow ing to the greater solubility of this commodity, the demand for it rapidly increased. As time went on, however, the inadequate and rapidly decreasing supply of guano and bone dust led to the active development of the phos phate industry in South Carolina in 1807 and in Florida some twenty-one years later. In 1891, the last year for which statistics are complete, the quantity of phosphate pn Winced in the United tuton van ".l uvn.-k K'-v ?s tho !.h-,vs- ;r r'.iou ot wltU. U": ;. .:: - mm ' lira.

The next largest producer of the fer tilizer is France, v. hich, in the year named, vras credited vith 400,000 tons, after which should be placed Belgium with 200,000. The entire output of the world in 1891. outside of the United States, was 830,000 tons. I , The home consumption of the fertil izer take:: place chielly in the southern, eastern and western states. It is con spicuously in. demand for the cotton crop of the south, for the fruit and vegetable crops of the east and for the grain crops ol the west. As regards tho situation of the principal deposits, we learn that there are in South Car olina twenty-threo land mines and seven river mines; that there is one land mine in North Carolina, while there are no fewer than eighty-eight land mines and eighteen river mines in Florida. Ths number of acres con trolled for mining purposes in Florida is 170,848; in orth Carolina, 2,500, and in South Carolina 00,790, or a total of 253,138 acres. The total capital in vested in plant in Florida is $2,140,583, and in land 511,840,007; iu North Caro lina the plant is represented by 83.000 and the land by $100,000; in South Car olina tho plant i:i worth 8,503,200 and the land ?:3.0 .000. The total average number of .employes 'engaged in the production of phosphates is 0,175, but thii does not include all the labor in one mine or .the skilled labor in two mines, the facts in relation to which are not reported. The total amount of money expended for labor was $3,473, 15, and the averasre earnings of a aimer umouubou to 370 per annum. - We are ossured that great- pains has - been taken by the department of labor to collect trustworthy in formation as to the amouat of phos phates which may reasonably be ex pceted to be delivered hereafter from the mines. The quantit3' in sight in South Carolina is computed at 14,000, 000 tons; in this state the industry, at the present rate of production, will ex tend over ' twenty-eight years from !S01. The quantity of phosphate visible in North Cni-olina, Oeorgia and other states is put down at 1,000,000 tons, while Florida is credited with the enormous quantity of 133,050,110 tons. Taken together these estimates show a total of l '.S.(!53,410 tons of phosphoto in sight, and enable us to measure the future opportunities for the employ ment of labor in this industry.
