KXPlOaiOX OF A MOUXTAIX.
Previous to July H, 15jS, Mount Ban
dai, a tine-cleft peak, 499 feet in height,
was the most conspicuous object in the
mountain range lying from 100 to 150
miles north of Tokio, the chief city of
Japan. On the day mentioned, it was
literally "rent in twain" and "blown off
the face of the earth" by the expansive
power of steam which had generated
within it. From the earliest times of
which there is any record, streams of
cold water had len plunging under the
peak on one side, and escaping in the
shape of steam and Killing hot water on
the other. That the ''escape valve"
was not sufficient to let oiTall the steam
generated in the passage of the water
through the red hot interior of the peak
is evident because of the fact that when
the pressure became too great the sides
of the mountain yielded, just as a boiler
would have done under like rireuni-
etances, and an immense explosion was
the result.
The explosion is said to have been
heard a distance of over 1000 mile, and
to have caused absolute darkness in the
vicinity of the exploded peak upwards of
three hours, il iring which time perfect
torrents of hot water and mud were
ponred down from tne irumee heights
to which thev had been hurled bv the
force of the "pent-up furies" which
caused the disaster. The debris which
fell after the explosion covered an area
of 44,000 acres to a depth varying from
10 to 100 feet on an average, and in one
place, where a beautiful valley had ex
isted but a few hours before, rock and
mud were piled up to the height of 000
feet. Three villages were engulfed in
the ruins, and at least 500 inhabitants
killed by falling debris, or drowned and
cooked in the torrents of boiling mud,
which flowed down a valley to a distance
vi nine miles.
JThese facts were gleaned from a report
mad by a visiting committee appointed
- by theunivertity of Tokio.

'Tiie i.flreri'un Farmer and Farm
Xews, published tf Springfield, Ohio,
has the following to" )' concerning feed
ing wheat to fogs :
"As we go to press wheat jn the local
market is worth 43 cents and oats 36
cents per bushel. A farmer friend, who
dropped into our office fcr a fev minutes,
told us that at these prices iie should
sell lis oats and feed his wheat, and in
Our opinion this is a wise decision.
Last fall w knew of some experiments
in feeding wheat to hogs when they were
worth five cents a pound, and the re
sult indicated that a little over a dollar
a bushel was got out of the wheat. The j
wheat in this case was coarsely gronnd j
and fed in the shape of a thick slop with
a small ration of corn, There is no
doubt that pork grown on this kind of
feed will be sweeter, firmer and in every
ray better than that made on corn as
the principal food, and for home nse it
would be better to make it on this sort
of feed even if It cost a little more. It
is probable that corn may be sold and
wheat kept for feed this year. In feed
ing wheat to horses care must be taken
not to over-feed. We have some new
feed problems brought to our notice by
the coming together of prices of our
staple crops in the manner that now ob
tains, and we need all the light that we
can get to determine what it is best to
Jo." ' '

Jiiuce Flora Temple set the horsemen , reader, the every day working side stays
wild with what was then considered a j at home with the farmer. He has his
phenomenal record, the trotting horse j bills to meet, hia troubles and annov
has steadity improved, the record being tnceg, and perhaps in as great or trreater
reduced almost every year, except when
such wonders as Karus Ootdsmith Maid !
or Nancy Hanks has set the mark for!
two or three years. Yesterday all pre
vious harness records were broken by
Robert J., a pacer, belonging to J4 C.
Hamlin, at Fort Wayne, Indiana. Alix,
the queen of the trotters, had just set
the crowd of 0000 people wild by trotting
without a skip a mile in 2.0-V.,, when
Robert J. was brought on the track,
making the mile in 2.03,l, the fastest
every made. It is quite probable that
before the rear 1900 the record will be 2.
The growth of Portland is the grow th

growth will be rapid, and in another ten
years she will begin to crowd up towards
the 200,000 mark. So mote it be.

published in the St. I'aul Fioueer Press.
That paper has been interviewing some
f,f tii ir.inroo a farmers of Minnesota
on the subject of national and home
affair, and from them we extract the
following:
" prosperous and intelligent farmer
was' discussing the events of the last
year; the financial p.nicthe unexam -
pled business depression, the industrial
unrest and the progress of a rebellion
against the government, which, tf not
arrested, would have ended in civil war.
Well,' he said, as he rose to go, 'I am
going back to my farm and let the old
world go its one gait. I am happy
there. Nothing disturbs me. In the
worst vears that can come I will have
plenty to support my family. 1 will
have my books and papers and know
what is going on outside, but I am eafe.
Panics and trade revulsions do not af
fect nie at all, and even a revolution
would hardly disturb me in my quiet
nook. "
There is our dream of Utopia. The

song of plenty. It is the independence
of farm life that makes it peculiarly at

what the next day may bring forth. As 1
a rule the farmer nover becomes a mil- '
lionaire, and he is depnved of many f
the so-called luxuries of city life. But,
after all. he lias the best of it. He has

some life, but life without struggle
would be worthless. His compensation
is the independence he enjoys, and,
with industry and frugality, absolute as-1
surance against want. ( ne cause of our J
present industrial trouble lias been the
tendency of our young men within re
cent years to desert the farm, and flock
to the cities. They must go back to the
farm. They are needed there, and they
are not needed in the cities. There is
employment awaiting all the idle men
of this continent on our Western farm
ing lands. Here in Oregon there are
opportunities for millions. Telegram.
There is much that is true in the
above article : much that is pleasant to
think of and to dream about ; much
more pleasant indeed to treat in that
manner than to experience. The farm
er's life is in tome respects independent.
but it is not all the poetic dream that 1
writers paint it. It is the hardest!
worked and most poorly paid pursuit,
taking it in all its branches, that is fol-,
lowed by mankind. Dreamers and
theorists paint the life of the farmer as j
one of happy independence, from care, i
annoyance and want. They farm in
Utopia; but in that nnsentimental
world where the farmer wrestles with
climate and soil and weeds to pluck
from the eartli. his daily bread, the
poetry is not conspicuoDs.
Farming is the noblest of all occupa
tions ; the most necessary, and in many
respects the least satisfactory. That
it is so is to much the more to the credit
of those who realizing its hardships, still
pursue it. The pensive editor drawing
a picture of peaceful homelife on the
farm, would hesitate a long while before
he would consent to even try to earn his
living that way. The case is like that
of a slave who escaped into Ohio. A '
gentleman out of curiosity asked him if
be was not treated well, and got an
affirmative answer. "Plenty to eat,
didn't you?" said he. "Yes, eah."
"Comfortable clothing?" "Yes, sah."
"Cared for when you were sick?" "Yes,
sah." "So then you had good clothes,
plenty of food, light work and in fact a
very good place, then why did you
leave?" "Well, tah," said the recent
slave, "the job am still open and you
can hab it." it is so with firming, the

THE EVILS OF QUACKEHY
Another serious obstacle to legitimate
income is the quack medicine trade.
Quackery is medical practice comercial
i.ed, and therefore prostituted. It
thrives because tlie victims are in the
majority and are easily reached by lying
advertisements. "What is the propor
tion of sensible people in this crowd?"
asked a patent medicine man of a physi
cian. "About one in ten," was the
answer. "I take the nine and leave the
one to you," said the quack. This rep
resents the majority which help to make
the quack rich. The nostrums cost
almost nothing ; but the capital is used
in advertising; in making pictures of
the idiots and feeble-minded who Imag-
ine theinfelvct cured: in placarding
fences; in defacing (cenery ; in publish
ing manufactured certilicales ; In ridii til
ing fcientitic medicine ; in alarming the
credulous ; in claiming false din merit's ;
and in vaunting impossible result. lint ,
these aie the men who make the money.
Medicine to them is the tiickel-in-the-slot
machine. The diagnosis is ready
made to suit every need, and even other
wise scn-tiblo peoplo are being educated ,
into quackery, and into the belief that
every man can l Ii'ih ow n doctor and
not have a fool for a patient. lr. lieu. .

STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
Mnilonr Nnt In It wltba Italic, and (iriu
uaata Shjtnucil ttjr tn Dra
in sects are for their size the utronir
est members of animal creation, uud
among them la-ctles Ix-ur away the
palm.- Many beeUvs -hare enormous
strength. The 'Hercules beetle can
support and even lift a weight equal
to more than five hundred times the
weight of its own Ixxly. It is as if a
man were able to raise from the gronnd
on his back a weight of more than one
hundred and twenty tons Or ht
fiaps a better idea would be conveyed
by naying that to equal thi:i a man
would have to lift five hundred other
men. The Ilea is also possessed nf j
marvelous strength and activity. It
can leap more than two hundred times
its own height and dratf along more
than eighty times it own weight.
This, says the Brooklyn Kagle, is as
though a man con hi, from a standing
position, lc
leap over the UilTel tower, or
walk around bearing on hia shoulder,
as an ordinary burden, the carcuss of
an elephant. M. Plateau found that
a cockchafer can. draw fourteen times
its own weight, and that a lx-e can
draw twenty times its own weight.
From which he argues thut a cock
chafer is, weight for weight, twenty
times stronger than a horse, and a bee
thirty times stronger than one. At the
same time insects which expend much
power in rapid flight ore not capable
of Ix-aring much additional weight to
that of their own bodies. Some can
carry a weight equal to their own. but
as a rule not one cm fly with anything
heavier than itself.

that Britishers, like mankind general
ly, can In- trusted not tooverstate their

still evident that the wealth of this
country is not only greater than that

AFFECTED BY WEATHER.
A writer in the
Amcr can Journal I
Psveholo.'V for this
year discusses the
subject from the view of common ex-,
periemv. and presents some facts that
are interesting us well l. . leading In
their directness, lie say.; "The head,
of a factory employing three thousand j
workmen said: -We reckon that iidisii-,
grceuhlc day yields ubout ten percent.
lessw. i',; tiinn u delightful day. iindj
we thus have to count this as a factor
in our prollt and loss account.- Aeei
dents are more, numerous in factories,
on bad days. A railroad mini never

tion, as "cothcr often affects logic.

The knee-jerk seems proved
to have another factor. It Is not
strange if the eye. e. g.. which wantsj

Temperament is a fundamental fac
