Wheat deliveries at the Salem Flour

fallen to aJtout 150 bushels a day, ami
the indications are that less than lout)
bushel yet. remains to be hauled here
for storage this year. Up to yesterday
-I.I.m bushels had bcen'stored. so the
total amount that the 'comiiany will
get tl!s year tan not 'exceed' 25.0io

Whin-rage of apvntb'JoO.OOl) biwhels eonj-!
pared with ;tUe rrecetpi of last year
which .werejover 1..0iki bushels..
There are several pause 'for this
shortage; the burning of the mill last
year just after graiu had been stored
and the knowledge on the part of the
farmers that fbair would not be wade
here during the year cansed them so
k other plaVes to store their crop.
Another thing Is the great shortage
In t lie wheat crop. The. acreage was
considerable Jens than usual, owing
to the low prices that! hit ve prevails!
for tin past few yearnud the yield
is probably not more! than one half
r an average year. Anotiwr vause of

WEIGHT ".OF SHOELESS WOMEN.
Uenurkabl Discovery of H.crr Snltz
; - er.;I5erlin Scientist.
A smgnlar discovery has lately lieen
made by the eminent Herr lrof.
Snitzer, of the University of IWrllu.
I.Ike many other 'disi-overies. it was
made by accident. Tlse iworessor -was
stojiping at a hotel In Naples; where,
on the floor alio ve his room, there was
also stopping a. young lady of rather
slisht : figure. One evening his room
suddenly shook. Thinking that an
earthquake had occurred lie instantly
rushed Into the street; Xo one else i
noticed 'any cart lvraake. and the, pro-j
fessor returnetl to his room, where be!
was a few moments later again start-i
led by the same noise. The next day
ho learned that the sound had been j
made by the young lary , while ' walk- j
iug across her room without her shoes,!
' Thereupon the professor made a so-i
tic of exieriiueuts with a view to as--rtaiuing
the nature and cause of the
increase of weight which, he felt sure,
followed the removal of the fetuale
shoe.- He began his exjierimeuts with
his wife. That estimable lady weigh
ed, when wearing shoes, only 14
iMiuuds, and her tread was as light as
that of the ordinary Ahleruey cow.
lie fonnd that when she removed her
shoes ami walked across the floor the
resulting jar seriously in paired the. ac
curacy of the. university f.eleseoiie,
which was situated iu a Imildiug at a
distance of three miles from the pro
fessor's exiHrimeuts with his seven
daughters, and with his wife's sister.
i The net result of the cxiKTimcnts was
to show that, simply by taking off
her shoes, the . averasre woman in
creases her weigltt a little more than
tl ree times a fact for which he has
as yvtj Jtceu able to find iy satisfac

NEW GAS AXI ItELE BUOY.
Remarkably effective as an aid
navigation Is a gas buoy which
the same time is a bell buoy. It
likely to play an important pirt
to
at
is
the protection of the shipjiing of this
oort. as well as Isdng a most impor
tant factor in increasing and develoi
ing the commerce of Xew York.
This is so 1 localise through' the projior
nse-of ,thes buoys this harbor couljj
iw made navigable at aiiy hour, at
low tide as well a when the tide Is
full, while fogs aud thi k and stormy
weather would-no longer be a. oar to
tlie free aud expeditious entry of
ships of ail tonnage.
The' 4i-!glt of the- buoy ovet- all is
eighteen feet. From the wator lin'
to thi' fwal plane it measures ten feet
six inches, and the diameter of the
lssly of the buoy is seven feet, the
total weigat leics O.Sat pounds. The
tsdy of the tnof fof id's.the ;iyelyet;
for the compressed gas", and is or
sufticlent size to give proper buoy
ancy for dotation and of adequate
strength to safely hold a pressure of
one hundred ami tifty to oue hundred
and eighty pounds per square iiu-U.
On top of the Isnly is a wrought
iron tower, about six feet high, sur
mounting which is a lantern. Sur
rounding the lantern Is a cage for
protecting it. and tlie tower x pro
vided with a platform on which to
stand , to light or adjust the flame.
Jtwt Isdow the, platform Is suVpeud
ed a bell weighing lN3u pouutls. This
Is-II is sounded automatically every
twenty or thirty seconds. crindeed
at regular intervals f any duration.
aU of vhi-li may be predetermined.
The flow of the gas .from the receiver
to the lantern furnishes the means
of oiH-rating r!ie Ik'11. Thus a relialde
