Wkera the Nickel Comes from.
In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud
bury, Canada, it is said more nirkel is
beinir Droduced than the entire market
f the world calls for at current prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of a crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of till regiim. Tbe miners are now at
work at a depth of about 800 feet below
the surface. As fast as the nickel and
topper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
masted, for tbe purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, a powerful blast
furnace "jacketed" in mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity.
The dross of the molten mass is first
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the "mat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in tbe y ard of the smel ter. The mat con
tains about 70 per cent, of nickel; the re
maining 30 per cent, being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conical pot loaTes
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means of heavy hammers. Tbe frag
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea, in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealously
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as a
common laborer in the factories in order
to obtain it At present there are pro
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 430 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1,000 tons of nickel a year. Manufac

Rainfall oa the Plains.
Professor Frank U. Snow, of the Kan
sas State university, said several years
ago: "But the fact that thousands of
new comers, from ignorance of the cli
mate, have attempted to introduce ordi
nary agricultural operations upon tbe so
called plains, and have disastrously failed
in the attempt, has placed an undeserved
stigma upon the good name of Kansas in
many far distant communities, and has
undoubtedly somewhat retarded immi
gration during the past few years. It is
time for the general recognition of the
fact that, except in exceedingly limited
area where irrigation is possible, the
western third of Kansas is beyond the
limit of successful agriculture.''
The severe seasons of drought which
have occurred since the above conserva
tive statement was written show the
whole truth of the matter to be that the
westward advancing line of settlement
is by no means an isohyetal one, but that
it is merely a line representing in a way
the overflow of the population of our
eastern states. It needs but a slight
acquaintance among the old settlers
in central Kansas to know that they
fear nowadays excessively dry weather
as much as they did twenty-five years
ago. The people who live farther west
are losing faith in the idea of an in
creased rainfall, as is evidenced by the
fact that over two hundred linear miles
of main canals have lately been con
structed for irrigation purposes nearly
as far east as Kinsley, in the Arkansas
valley of Western Kansas. In the Platte
valley, in Nebraska, large irrigating sys
tems are at present being projected.

At 4 o'clock, to the minute, Mr.

LIFE ON A WATER FARM.
rhere Is Profit la Raising Fish and rrogs
for Market.
It has not been many years since water
fanning was added to the possibilities of
"agriculture" in Indiana it oegan as a
diversion. It bas become a business.
Knmiirh time has now elapsed to demon'
strata that water farming may be made
practicable aud profitable at least as prof
itable as some other rural occuiwtlon, aud
more enticing than tbe ordinary life of an
griculturist. As much -.money can be
made off an acre of water as off an acre of
land, including well located fish and frog
ponds on the ous band anil orainary larut
Viig on the otbsr.
One of the pioneers of water funning la
Indiana la Mr. Joseph Miinlove, of Milton.
Bevun years ago he bought a small piece of
low land lying between Hie vt line water
canal and White Water river, lis deter
mined to flood the low Intnl. and to add to
his possessions the adjoining high land for
park purposes. Ills alee now Includes
fourteen acres of water and twenty-one of
land. Ills business is largely with the
water and only Incidentally with the dry
land. His first purpose was to establish a
carp pond, fmm which the ilsh market
might be supplied. This was accomplished
in two years with comparative ease. Now
bo has practically an unlimited quantity
of this variety of llsh. However, the pub
lic, taste also calls for bass, aud Mttulove
determined to add this variety to his sup
ply. His lake is now stocked with a vast
supply of black bass. They have grown
finely, and bass Ashing will be "put on tbe
market,"- Iisss promise so much better
than carp that "Fanner" Mnnlove uses his
young carp as food tor bis bass.
Still another "department" hasbeeu add
ed to the '.'furm'1 frogs. Four acres of
shallow water, well grown in flags, were
set apart as a breeding place for frogs.
They breed aud grow rnpidly. Four thou
sand tadpoles were put into this breeding
pen. Many of them are now of a market
able size, and are worth and 3 a
doscn. In catching them for market a
Unlit at night Is used. They stare at tbe
light, and can be caught and bundled with
ease in its glare. In catching large quan
tities of carp tbe lake la d mi tied oft. In
winter the marketable fish are kept in
small ponds.
it is interesting to observe the water
farmer at bis work. He can use a horse
for side purposes, but be needs 'neit her,
plow, planter nor reaper. Suppose he hits
gone out to feed. He has with him mid
tilings or other grain. He goes to the breed
ing pond, sounds a gong or blows a whistle
and tbousaudsof frogs come hopping from
their shelter. They eat tbe food ravenous
ly, and become so tame that the farmer
handles them as a woman does her pet
chickens. The same food is just the thing
for young and old carp. "Fish and frogs
take to grain and grain products," said
Mr. Manlove, "like a boy does to apple
dumpling. Part of tbe season it is not
necessary to feed my stock at all. The
water grass seeds make the finest food for
Osh, aud at certain times of tbe year I
rarely prepare a fish for tbe table that I
do not find hira filled with grass seed."

There is absolutely no protection thrown
about tbe matter of arranging pairs in the
house. Tbe only rule upon the subject
says that after the first call of the day all
pairs shall be announced by the clerk. Tbe
practice is for members making the pairs
to hand the announcement of tbom to the
clerk, who sees they are printed in The
Record. No questions are asked, and the
members fix up the pairs to suit them
selves. Thus, when a member is absent
and is not paired, be can telegraph to a
colleague and find some member ou tbe
other Bide in tbe same situation, when it Is
arranged that The Record shall state that
these two absent members were paired.
One member wbo went to Kurope with
out taking tbe precaution to get a pair was
used to protect half a dozen members in
one day. It was also found that be was
paired with a member wbo never knew the
other man was absent from Washington.

that hia health should, in the past, have

Oood frloe for Bar Coins.
The prices of the Davis coin sale wer
again good yesterday. Colonial Issues
L reached the highest figures. A New
York doubloon of 1787 brought H50; a
set of three Maryland coins, a shilling, a
sixpence and a groat, one of which bore
the bust of Lord Baltimore, $39 each; a
New England shilling of Massachusetts,
143.50, and a pine tree shilling of 1053,
$11.2.".. A Carolina halfpenny, 1004, sold
for $37, and a New York cent of 1780,
with a bust of Governor Clinton and
the motto, "Non vl virtuto vlcl,eold for
$20.
The best price for a dime was $41 for
the issue of 1829, with four stars. Dimes
of 1804 and 1811 brought $33 apiece. A
balf dime of 1803 sold for $170. The
collectors and some dealers attending
tne sale were indignant at the threatened
seizure by the secret service authorities
"of some counterfeits of rare colonial
coins. The originals of these coins, they
say, are not now redeemable by any
