It is eaid that a Missouri farmer who line an appleorehard containing two thousand acres has sold this year's crop on the trees for $75,000, buyers to take all risks from now on. The orchard promises a yield of 100,000 bushels. The apple crop is now an important item in the agricultural wealth of the country, and in a good year amounts to some thing like 150,000,000 bushels. No State in the Union can grow greater apples than the State of Virginia and apple culture in this State has become a most profitable industry. We have often remarked that a first class apple orchard in certain sec tions of Virginia is as valuable as corresponding orange grove in Flor ida. The apple has an advantage over the orange in that it is a hardier fruit and is lees allected by weather conditions. Virginia farmers have been somewhat slow in making the most of this branch of industry, but it is a growing industry and will continue to add wealth to the State. Richmond Times. Central Asia's Great River. Dr. Sven Hcdin, whose explor ations of Central Asia have attract ed so much attention, has resumed bis work there. Oue of the most intereeting things recently reported by him is bis survey of the Tarim Uiver, Eastern Turkestan, which, he says, is the largest stream in Central Asia. A peculiarity about the river is that over a part of its course it is simply a multitude of interchained lakes. Among bis oth er discoveries are salt lakes, dried- op lakebeds, abandoned habitations and temples, and interesting people almost unknown hitherto. There is a war on in Japan against rats.

In the great sea fight oiT Santiago hut one man on the vessel of the United States was killed. lie stood bravely out on the Brooklyn's fore castle, measuring instrumentally the distance of the nearest Spanish ship. A moment before the commodore, almost beside him, had expressed a belief that the Viscaya was gaining on her pursuers, and in response, to a repeated expression of doubt tho instrument was leveled. "No, sir," said Ellis, quietly glanc ing along tho eights, "slio is not farther oil than 1,800 yards." Again he adjusted his telescope, looked long and carefully, lowered it from his eyes, and began : "No-1" Then came a mighty whirr a fierce rush ot wind sweeping by and staggering everyone and the head less body of the solo victim f ell to the deck. They picked it up and carried it to the side, as if to give it to the ocean. Then the commodore : "No, bov6 no not that not that put him there beside the tur ret and cover him ! God knows, wo owe him Christian burial !" And so they spread a tarpaulin over the sad sight, and the guns of victory thundered a knell for him. If the Spanish shot had laid low, not that gallant young seaman, but the veteran commodore who had then served his country for more than forty years, this is the etoty of the latter which would have been told. Review of Reviews. Corn Crop Estimated 800,0(50,000 Busbels Short. The latest government crop re port indicates that the corn crop will be even smaller than the previous reports had led the cople to believe, and those reports were regarded by many as exaggerated. Since the 1st of August t lie estimate of the corn crop has been reduced 58,000,000 bushels and of tho wheat crop H, 000,000 bushels. The monthly re ports of tho condition of the crops throughout the country have never been entirely free fiom suspicion, but they are perhaps the bt-st basis we have lur making estimates of crops, and there can be no doubt that the corn crop of this year falls far short of the average. The short age is now estimated at 800,000,000 butmeis, an amount so vast as to be almost beyond comoreheiision. Fortunately it comes at a time when there is a good wheat crop. There is also short crop of potatoes, for potatoes form one of the products in the States where the drought has prevailed. Irish potatoes are, next to bread and meat, the most import ant aDd universally used article of food in this country. Baltimore Sun.

What Mean These Fitful Shadow graphsLast July the N. Y. Herald Printed a Weird Story of a White House Ghost. Whito Iloiiflo shadowgraphs are mystifying the Washington Daniels, says the Now Voik Horald. Strange signs and portt nts are making their presence felt in the lirst mansion in the land. Readouts of the executive establishment are giv en over to puzzlement. Visitors aro awesomely regarding the most curi ous of modern phenomena. Attach es have become a prey to siiporsti tian. Doubt is tho portion of tho guest within tho gates. The queer bird Enigma has builded her nest over the entrance to the home ot tho presidents, and each separate Hup ping of tho wings of mystery is at tended by a different manifestation. Faces of the dead and gone aro appearing ou the pillars of tho presi dential portico. Outlines of tholiv ing aro to bo traced when the condi tions ate right. Tho quick and tho dead aro impartially represented in the solid stono columns. From out of the uncertain past net s tho wraith liko profile of a statesman wlit.se tread once resounded upon tho very stones which lio Bt the base ot the carvtn witchery. Snatched Irom tho present is the graver suggestion of a mighty counsellor of the day, clear,C(nvincinganu nrm, as uiougn tho original, in his exit Irom tho co: ferenco chamber, had paused and leatitd his cheek against tho recep tive pillar, there to bo indelibly etched by some miigic artist. Men of affairs and women who have help ed make the history of the nation come ana go in ino impressive stone And none there is to interpret the huml writing on Hie circular wall. Today tho outlined shadow is that of Marcus A. Ilannii, senator of the American congress, rotund in apcarance, jolly of laugh, quick of wit ; llanna, the actuality and tho possibility. The outline tace in high light is to bo notbd on tho fantastic ally endowed pillar of tho White House to be exact, the central pil lar on the east side of the portico. W hat dot s it mean t Is it an omen of ill? Is it a coming event of good fortune which thus casta its shadow before ? Docs the miety apparition silhoueted ou the solid stone presage a future of happiness, prosperity and preferment, or has the visitant a more ominous meaning? When the subject of the White House shadow graph, for all the world like tho out line ot his own sturdy physiognomy, is broached a laugh is the senator's comment. He says he 6 too much of a materialist to "take stock in" the fliehings and fadings on tho whitened column. Materialist or no materialist, the face of Senator llanna is theie. Unassertive, yet complacent, faint at times and again more strong, bursting into promi nence from nothingness, the lines and angles, the curves and character istics of the senator from Ohio are apparently imprinted on a promi nent part of the portico. Long have the shadows sported with the men of etato. lint never has their weird approach been more strongly felt. A mute array, intan gible and shivery, they come into the life of the nation's fathers and as suddenly depart. No man may say just when their hour of coming. And none may tell their period of duration. An oilice seeker scurry ing up the stairs ; a man of state ad vanclng more sedately ; a colleague called to lend a voice in council, or one or all of these may note the vision. It comes and goes, erratic aud all-puzzling; unstable, airy, fath omless and fleet ; one minute con juring up a swilt resemblance, the next minute the coldest marble of the quarry. W bite are these pillars as the vir gin snow, save where the shadow lays its mystic fingers, nnlike the granite columns lying eastward the iillnrs of the Hall of Statnarv within the many terraced eapitof. One traces on these variegated tow era of brown arid gray and white and terra cotta quaiut images and ngunngs in plenty a nun, full hooded, meek of mien and eyes cast down ; a farmer with his hat of clum sy straw ; a tender mother bending ovtr her child, aud many another cu rious bit of piecing. I3ut these are not so wondrous as the shades which come and go upon the spotless white shafts of the executive mansion. No, the pillars of the church of state, as represented by the White House, aro not as the pillars of Stat usry Hall. The latter offers a puz zle comparatively easy of solution, The figures are there all the time, or for so long as the columns stand, and they may be deciphered with a little care, at any hour of the day. Not so with the shadowgraphs. They are defiant of solution. "Moth er McKinley," "Queen Victoria," "The Pointing Hand," "Senator J. Sherman," "President McKinley," I lit - Thl popular remedy never fulls to rsitx iuauy turx i yspepsia, Constipation, Sid Headache, Biliousness And ALL DISEASES arlslns from a Torpid Liver and Bad Digestion The natural result Is ol Mtfte ab4 au4ni ftssh. tJwe smalt; ete 't isi autor coated stasl easy to swMow. TcUe No Substitute. "The Old Woman at tho Spinning Wheel" and "Senator llanna" are tho most startling forma assumed by the all inscrutable shadow. About tho time tho state of health of tho president's mother became such as to canoe national alarm, the shadow which hareomo to bo known as "Tho Pointing Finger" made its appearance. It was soon upon the central pillar, vague, awesome and brcedtui of dread happenings. V a rious interpretations were placed up on the marvel. Gradually the tide of Whito House opinion swept' on nntil it rolled at tho feet of "Moth or McKinley." "She it is," decided the interpreters, "who is meant." Hut, a f tor all, it was only 8 hand, visible to tho inmates and visitors at certain hours of the day, usually around noon, and then for only a tew minutes at a tune, Later, however, came conclusive testimony to the correctness of the view so at least do the faithful be lievers in the shadow contend. Says ono who tells the tale of the pillars and tho pit sing of tho mother of a president : "When a guard who received the first sad telegram from Canton had ushered tho messenger up tho stair way, he leaned for a moment in the emhraisnroof the hall window. Cast ing his eves upward, ho oWrvcd a Btrsngo shadow outlined sharply on a whito column of the stately en trance I'litinly silhouetted, as by an artist's brush, was tho form of an elderly woman, the profile turned toward the White House doorway. "The rtrnngi'ly marked ft-atures at first suggested i'rHiidi'iit McKin ley, but every moment the tiguro took on moro ft'inm'.no guise. As tho guard watched It, tho shadow, growing more feminine each instHtit, turned slowly away, as if looking buck over its shoulder, and dis-ip-peared. It had lasted during live minutes. "Nothing more suggestive of the gentle woman who had passed away could be imagined a visitant born of sunlight and sentiment shadow ing the snowy columns in weirdly tender guise a spirit ot watchful mother love and yearning hirewell. The nvirtuiiry peculiarity, so start ed, caused much apprehension from that time on. It's the logical asso ciation, said tho persons who dis cussed tho affair, lint when, a short period thereafter, there came anoth er shadow, this time taking the shape of an old woman and a spinning wheel, there wan little satisfaction to bo had from the local Daniels. To !k sure, they wore agreed that some dire happening was betokened. I Jut what? Ihcy could not tell. They have not been able to tell to this day. the old lady and the spinning wheel defy analysis. The resemblance is so clear and distinct as to make little demand on the im agination of the one who looks. It is a likeness, a rough one if you will, bnt yet a likeness. Bomo calamity, said the observers, was hound to follow the appearance of the old lady and her archaic work piece. Of this the interpreters were reasonably sure, liut they had no manner of doubt as to the signifi cance of the shadow which next Uok shape. This appeared as the head of John Sherman, veteran wheel horse in the wars of state, senator, secretary and candidate for presi dent. John Sherman died. Even after the death of the original the presentment continued. Indeed, so long did it remain that attaches and victors of tho White House came to regard it as a permanency. But one day it vanished, passing from the sight of men as suddenly as it bad arrived, and as thoroughly lost to view as the actuality of tho man it represented. Now it is a memory. During the busy season of the last campaign came the McKinley out- lino. Ibe contour ot the president and candidate was plainly cast npon the marble. With the remembrance of the previous shadows and their meaning fresh in mind, there were many who predicted the defeat, at least, ot Mr. McKinley. On the other hand, friends of the president constrned it as a favorable omen The victory of Mr. McKinley set new mark for consideration of the shadows. Not all meant fatality. However, the next tracery was un mistakable and admitted of no two constructions. Coming at the time of the serious illness of the then Queen of England, the pillar show ed the familiar lines and curves of Victoria llegina. '"Tis a sign," cried the superstitious, and declared themselves not surprised when the cable brought tidings of the death of tho much beloved sovereign. And now comes the stono picture of Senator llanna. What does it mean! The shadows mean some thing. So thinks ill Washington. The town is eagerly watching for further advices on the marble, the quaint, round curtain on which the figures from the mystic world are thrown. But it is not at all easy to ca'cb a glimpse of the shadows. The visitants do not run according to a schedule., The time of their appearance is as variable as the winds ALWAYS KEEP ON HAND fPaitvKiUei Thar l no kind of pain' or ache, Internal er ester-' 'nal, thet Paln-KMIer will! 1 not relieve.

They may appear at 1 1 o'clock in the morninir, making nso pf tho central pillar of the east side, or tho fantastic creation may c.hooso the central pillar of the weat side for its resting place, if tho latter loca tion is selected by tho capricious shadow the time for such preferment is usually in tho afternoon, between 1 and 2 o clock. Whilo tho great majority of those who have viewed tho shadowgraphs regard them in tho light of tlx) un canny, there are such materialists in Washington who would account for the appearances by the most natural of agoncies. To tho many, however, tins explanation ia simply a misfak en attempt to interfere with what is fast becoming a cherished institu tion. As a nation, there ia littlo placo for the mysterious. We are not so old as to bo able to afford abandoned castles and tho amiable f hosts which aro the accepted and ogical appurtonances thereof. Wo are not so young as to pin our faith to witchery, row luxuries in the lino of mystery aro at our command. Wherefore, plead tho believers in signs and tokens, let there bo no scolling over the appearance of the White IIouso shadows, which havo been and are and ever shall bo nuni Ixjrid among the marvels, mysteries and passing phenomena. Faith In Roosevelt. We reproduce to day from a lareo number of newspapers in all parts ot the country, Democratic, Republi can and Independent, estimates of 1 resident lloosevelt. It will ho ohsorved that thoso representative newspapers with re markable unanimity express strong faith in the president s character and tho confidence that he will give tho country a capable and clean ad ministrution. Even those newtpapors which re- for to Mr. Roosevelt's alleged brash iicss express tho belief that the re sponsibilities of his great office will have a steadying ell ect upon him. In no tinarter havo wo seen evi denccs of apprehension as to his capacity or fitness. Everywhere it is admitted that he is able, high minded and conrageons. President ilooscvelt Possesses the executive faculty in a high degree. He lias had an ixpuiiencc in politics and in the direction of affairs that will stand him in good stead. lioth his public and privato lite lavo been above reproach. Wre believe that the confidence of tho tieonlu in him a!r;adv so eenoial r i r-. and strong will be strengthened by the manner in which he will meet the requirements and discharge the duties of his exalted office. Atlauta Journal. The Brooklyn Bridge Is not Safe. A New York special says the engineers appointed by the district attorney, following the accident to the Brooklyn Bridge on July 'i, to examine the condition of that struc ture as to its present safety have re ported. Whilo withholding much of the report, the district attorney gives out the following as tho con clusion of the document : "We beliove the present margin of safety to bo so small that the necessity for repairs is very urgent, and have suggested means by which the safety can be increased without materially interfering with tralbcat a comparatively small cost." "It was further stated in the re port," said the district attorney, "that the margin of safety will be increased by the absence of hot weather. The district attorney will im mediately submit the report to other engineers and obtain their advice as to the report's contents before de ciding whether or not to present the case to the grand jury.

Artificial oyster bed are eaid to havo existed in (Jlnna many hnn- Ured years ago, lorn? Iefore they were known to tne Komans, al though Pliny claims the first arti ticial oyster bods were established at IJaiao, near Naples, in the year 1. U. sn. I he old Komans paid considerable altontion to the cutti vation of the mullnec. Near the city of Naples was an enclosed bit of water called tho Lucrme Lake, in which were located tho oyster beds for tho Inxui ions tables of nome. Oysters brought very high prices in Homo in thoio days, and indeed only tho rich wore ablo to afford them. Tho old writers havo all touched upon tho subject of the oyster. Horace, Cicero, i'liny and others havo enlarged upon tho vari ous ijualities of tho bivalve. I'liny mentions that according to tho his torians of Alexander's expedition, oysters were found in the Indian a wiiii'li iii' hmi ed uvor a foot iu diameter. Sir Jamts E. Tonuant affirms tho correctness of this stato mont, tepoiting ilint at Kothiar, near Tr incuiimlee, mormons speci mens of ediblo oysters were secured, one shell measuring moro than 11 inches in length by half as many broad. Theso measurements, however. aro exceeded by the oysters found at 1 ort Lincoln, buuth Australia, which are tho largest edible oysters in tho world. They aro said to be as largo as a dinner pinto, and of the same shape. Their llavor is delicious and not surpfwed bv anv other variety in the world. Oysters are also found in the Kaet Indian archi pelago. A bay on the southwest Coast of New Holland, north of King tioorgo s sound, is called Oyster Harbor from tho number of oysters found there. Another similar spot is eitnatod in tho Iiay of Bont-al, called Oyster Island, which abounds in small r.-ck oysters, as they are called, which tho na'.ives d'tach with hammers and carry away for transportation to CVeutta. In the tropics, particularly on the west coast of Africa, what is known as tho "tree oybter" grow in largn quantities. They attach themf elves to the stems of the mat'grovc tree which grow at the water's edge, and these stems are sometimes a' moot covered with oysters. The negroes who lnlwbit this coast are accustom ed to detach a branch from the man grove tne laden with well-tilled shells. Theso oysters are said to be as delicious in flavor as our own. Tho age of an uyster can some times be told by carefully examining tho shell.
