A rather ingenias method of re
placing the roof of a standpipe was re
sorted to recently by the water works
department at Napoleon, O. Some
time ago, in a violent wind storm, the
roof was blown off, together with the
upper part of the ladder leading to the
ton. Sine then several plans for mak
ing the repaii have been consideied,
bat the following was decided upon as
the nioet feasible: The watei was
withdrawn from the standpipe and a
raft was built inside. When the wa
ter was turned on the raft, laden with
workmen and their Bleneils, was grad
ually sent upward at the rate of 25 feet
per boor, it lequiring five boors to
make the ascent Hooks and pulleys
were then attached to the pipe and ma
terial was drawn np on the outside.
while the men performed tbeii work,
using the raft for a platform.

London, Jan. ia All events seem
to work together in European politics
to increase the tension between Great
Britain and Fiance. The past week
has brought Madagascar and Egypt 'or
ward as iuitants just when the mutual
irritability was subsiding. Even the
most conseivativa observers begin to
take a pessimistic view of the relations
between the two powers. This in
cludes those who up to the present have
considered: the belligerency to be due to
supersensitiveness upon the part of
France - and to the unnecessary gruff
oess upon the part of Great Britain in
insisting on what aha considers to be
her rights.
The past It hours Drought the pub
lication of Madagascar blue book, which
was followed by a leading editorial in
the Times denouncing Fiance in lan
guage so fiery for that conservative
newspaper that Frenchmen are reading
the two together anil are construing
them as parts of a deliberate policy in
ipited by ore mind. That mind, in
the theory of the man in the atieets.
is Joseph Chambeilain, the secretary
of state for colonic. Other papers
may storm and scold and not be no
ticed, but when the Times becomes
abusive, foreigners interpret it as being
the voice of the government. In the
present instance, some Englishmen
will place the same construction npon
its utterances, recalling how the Times
led the "no suriender" ciy over the
Faahoda incident, under evident ia
ipiration.
One fact is certain, public opinion
in Great Britain will not sanction the
government to swerve an inch to avoid
war with France, thinking that if it
must come this ia the best time to have
it out.
Many people give importance to the
issuing of the Madagascar bine book
ilmost simultaneously with tbe quiet
but unmistakable announcement at
Khartoum by the British agent there.
Viscount Cromer, in his lemarka to the
shiekhs, that Great Britain has set her
leal npon Egypt. If there was a doubt
in the minds of her European rivals
that Gieat Britain intended to fore
:loee the mortgage npon which she has
expended so much labor and blood to
secure, it must have been set at rest by
the utterances of Lord Cromer, in
which the word "protectorate" was
written in large letters, though the
(ovemment's mouthpiece carefully ab
stained from ruing that incendiary
woid. A more definite notice that
3reat Britain's tenure of Egypt is pel
msnent could not be asked.
In tbe meantime an enterprise of the
utmost moment in the furtherance of
Ureat Britain's domination in Africa is
ibout to be consummated. Cecil
Rhodes, the ex-premier and alleged in-
itigatoi of the Jameson laid, and the
so-called "Napoleon of South Africa
is going to England to arrange for
pushing forward the Cape Town-Cairo
railroad, so long the dearest dream of
imperialists. A definite proposition
will be presented by Mr. Rhodes to
London capitalists for sn extension of
the railroad from Buluwayo to Lake
Tanganika. He does not pretend it
will be s paying investment from the
tart. Its importance for some years
will be political instead ot commercial.
and he hopes to persuade the British
government to smooth the way by
guaranteeing SJ4 per cent interest on
the bonds to cover the cost of construe
tion. But one barrier stands in the
way, in the form of the Congo oonven
tion, guaranteeing neutrality of tbe
part of the continent about Lake Tang'
snyika, which even the autocrat of
Rhodesia will find hard to force. Here
Germany has the veto on Great Brit
ain's advance, which she cannot be
expected to waive without an indent'
nity.

In connection with demand in the

quote from the Oiange Judd farmer In

This crop in the United States is smal

tistics have been collected. Ilia total

ore is a bit-spread, reaching from the
IVcitt.; eojet to Maine, and in none of
the states il.wa the output of fruit ap
proach an average. (This is not tru,
however, where the crop is not a fail
ure). In the great apple states of the
Central West the crop is a I moot a total
failure, although thesituatiou in Mich
igan is bolter than elesewhere, having
about tno-thirds of the bumper cioe

3f a full crop. The failure U attributed
to the f.ict that during the blooming
leason there was an excessive rainfall,
which washed out the pollen and pre
vented proper fertilization by intents,
while a cold wave added to the injury,
ind suliseiiuont moist, humid weather
was veiy favorable to the development

though neighlruring orchards are bar

extending westward through Santa
