We find in a special report "of the
commissioner of labor the latest statis
tics relating to the phosphate industry
of the United States. The repnrt, 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 the principal commercial fertil
izer had been bone dust, but, in the
year named, guano was introduced from
the Chincha islands of Peru and,' .ow
ing to the greater solubility of ; this
commodity, the demand for it rapidly-
increased. .a time went on. however,
the inadequate and rapidly decreasingt
supply of guano and bone dust led to t
the active: development of., the phos
phate industry in' South Carolina in
1867 and in Florida somc .tweBfeywjne
years later. In 19!iiv the last .year for
which statistics , are -complcto,; the
quantity of phosphate produced in the
-Unlte'd States was ToT.l.Sit.ton.s.wuch
the-larger portiontf which came from
South Carolina, where at "'present the
mines are most ricrorotislv' worked.
The next largest producer, of the fer
tilizer is France, which, in the year
named, was credited with 400,000 tons,
after which should be placed Itclginm
with 2 00,000. The.eutire output of thf
world in' 1891. outside of the United
States, was 630,000 ton.
The .home consumption of the fertil
izer takes place chiefly 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 of the west.' As regards
the situation of- the prinefpa'f deposits
we learn that tihcf are: in ' South Car-olinatwcnty-taree
land mines and
seven river mines; that there 15 "one

Tha Lock Shot of a Banter at Critical
Moment.
It is a strange fact that the human
hand, eye and nerve are so constituted
as to act automatically and correctly at
tne proper moment, almost without
conscious effort on the owner's part.
The author of "Talcs of Nomad" gives
an experience that illustrates this in a
most fortunate manner.
We were passing through grass
about two feet in height, with clumps
of low scrub here and there. I was
leading, and my spoorer, a Kafir named
Jacha, was following me. He had
only one eye, and that eye was keener I
to detect game than two pairs of ordi
nary optics; but on this occasion it
overlooked a terrible danger, for the
reason that the danger, though within
a few yards of us, was invisible.
There was a rustle in a patch oi
scrub six or seven yards before me, and
suddenly out of it rose a wounded buf
falo with bloody mouth and glaring
-eye, which wheeled round facing me la
act to charge.
It all took place quicker than
thought. My rifle, which happily wat
at full cock, went up to my shoulder
instinctively, and I dropped him in hit
tracks with a ball through the brain.
So sudden was the whole affair that
my Heart nad not time even to give a
great thump. I do not quite remember
how I did it. I am sure I did not take
fine sight, and I doubt whether J
looked at the rib of my riSs it all.
