The other members of the party were Mrs, Porter, Mrs, Plumme Miss Plummer, Miss Edith and Master How- ard Plummer. Mr. Plummer was seen at the depot soon after tie party arvived and readily consented to an interview. We have come outto thispart of the country on atrip which relates directly to the industrial,” said he. “Of course “my trip is alsoin the nature of an iuspection, but it relates more intimately to the business which brings these other geéntlemen out this way.

We have 500 clerks at worl o it now, night and day, and the com- pendinm will be completed in time for the next congress. This will vo turee years and a half ahead of the last census reports, Of course the compiling of the numerous special data will require longer, but the entire work will be completed about' seveu years sooner than ever before. “The figures of the census report show some very interesting facts,”” continued Mr. Porter. “The mcrease in the average arca cultivated in the six principal coreals, for instance, is very marked. During the last decade the average acreage was 10,000 against 80,000,000 for the forme ade, an increase of 63 per cent. The vroduct of these fortile acres has increased 53 per cent and the average value of the crop: per cent, Our wool products have increased from 1; 000,000 pounds in 1850 to 240,000,000 in 1890, crop, from or nearly 5 per cent; our hay 00,000 tons to 00,000 tons, an increase of 80 per cent; our vast «attle interests, from a vatue of §1,445,000, to 000 £2,507,000,000, an increase of i3 pe cent. The average number of farm animuls per year has increased from 96,000,000 in the decide ending in 1580 to 136,000,000 in the ten years ending in 1800, an incicase of 45 per cent, Then again, take the coal product. The output has increased enormously—in fact, it has exactly doubled during the past d:cade. Iu 1550 the output was 70,000,000 tons, and in 1800 it was 140,000,000, The distribution of coal mining over the continent is almost as interesting as the distribution of population Iu this particular the west is greatly inter. ested. ‘Ten years ago the country west of tho Mississippi river dia not produce any coal; the census will show a production of 16,000, 000 tons west of the Mississippi during 150, or 1,000,000 tons more than the whole country produced iu 1570, The south also has mac remarkable strides in the direction of coal production, and last year that region pro duced 18,000,000 tons of coal, or 3,000,000 nore than the whole United States in 1570, “What have you to suy regarding ers’ nllinnce “The census returns show that the actual membership of the alliance is 2,500,000, but I am of the opinion thal this number will | be somewhat dimnished by the present cru of prosperity for the farmer.

The ' republcan party will tuke the ground that = the tariff should be let alone.

Ury it Forerunners of the Modern Bicycle, The first rudimentary bicyele was onch man living in Germany, who, carly in this century, invented a combination of two wheels, a seat, and_handles, which he called a feelerifere,” to aid him in his work of crsceing large estates, says St. Nicholas, The old euts of this odd machine, called, after the inventor, the ‘“‘Drais | ine,” show it to be in its genoral fen- tures the direct forerunner of the hobby- hor “Draisines” were introduced into England in 1818, and a year later they were seen in Amevica, on the streets of New York In both countries they meet with great favor, and one historian relates that in ew York “people rode them up and down the Bowery, and on the parks, a favorite place for'speed being the down grade from Chatham street to City Hall park.” Clumsy machines they seem to oureyes—two heavy wheels connected Ly a cross-har to which was attached nidway the cushioned seat for the vider. In front of the seat was a raised eush- ion upon which, handles in hand, the rider rested’ his forcarms, gtid- ing the machine, He propelled it by pushing alternately with his feet on the ground until the speed was sufticient to maintain cquilibrivm, when he would vaise his feet and, in the words of u rider ‘T'he rage for thesa *“Draisines,” and Spoedestrinn curvicles,” or wdy- horses™ and *hobby-horses,” s the later Simproved” machines were called, sub- sided rapidly because of the difliculty of making them practically useful, and be use of the ridicule alway excited by the riders, The curious sport of riding two whecls, joined, and running in the same perpent aicular plane, therefore languished in obscurity until after a lapse of more than forty years it again attracted pub- lic attention ina new form. It was in 1865 that a Irench mechanie, Picrre Lallement, conceived the notion of attaching foot cranks to the front wheel of the old fashioned hobby-horse. He made a machine embodying this idea, learned to rideit, and exhibited it at the Paris exposition in 1867. The eredit for this invention is alsoclaimed in England for Edward Gilman, but be the honor due to Frenchman or Englishman, here, at all events, was the immediate predecessor of the bieyele. It immediately became popular in both England and Ameri A great many improvements and changes were neces- sary, of course, before the crude ma- chine of Lallement—the ‘“velocipede of thirty year became the finished bicyclo of today; but energetic business men in Englind, and later in U country, suw its possibilities und began tho manufucture of the machines. Lm- vrovement has followed improvement, until now there is little resemblance left to the old velocipede, or ‘“hone- shaker” as it was flippantly called, aund it is difiicult to imagine in- what way a modern bicycle may be improved. ago is rly Risers; best little our stomach bad breath, PICTURES SENT BY DeWitt's Littlo B pills for dyspepsia, ELEGRAPIH The Problem Last at Solved by a Cleveland Inventor. CLEVELAND, O., Mag 4.—A company is or- ganizing i this eity, with £1,000,000, which wiill operate one of the greatest inventions of the age. The inventor, Mr. Parkhurst, has devoted several years at leisuro intervals to the porfection of the device which is caleu lated to veproduce any variable surfaces electrically at a distance or locally. The first practical result of the invention is the veproduction of a photograph by means of electricity, The machina is a small contrivance of brass and iron extend- ing ten inches into the air from a pedestal 10 nuected by a single wire with aphic battery.” The work is done divectly from the phctographic negative, which must bo in relief about the thousandth partof an inch. By means of a tracer a perfect engraving is made in wax on ine at the other end of the line, from which a vrint can be taken. The photo is entirely in parallel straght lines ruuning from rieht to left, resulting in n shaded bvicture, The \}‘)lflll' thing, including tho making of the re- lief negative, can be done in three or four hours, When the transmitter passes over a light “portion of the subject, the receiver canses a depression or 4 maximum cut to be made upon the sarface, and when the dark portion of a subjeet is unacr the transimitt at a distance the receiver will make vo record, Should the subject present a high tone, the receiver will int>rpret the same as a half toue. Tho product of the receiver is in tho shape of eu- gravings from which stercotypes can b made for printiug upon ordiharvy printing presses. The process is adapted to making embossing dies automatically from a pattern and to reproduce any variable sur trically at a aistanes or locally Mr. Parkburst says of the wmvention: “We think we have found a way to send u picture by telegraph. In fact we did telegraph a pic- ture by it the other day. The picture con- sists of three fizures—that of a man und two women —all in party costume. Tue group was reproduced correctly at the other end of \eos elec the line, except oue of Ui lacked o part of her head. The 1s on tho whole much better than we could have ex pected. The machino itseif is just a cylin der. A sort of little pivot or pointer goes with it. You take the picture you wish to send and wrap it aronud the eytinder and the point traces the lights and shadows of the picture. In reality the surface of the picture is not smooth, but uneven, and it is traced at the oth end on @ sheet of gelatine, Frov the picture thus taken on the eylinder at the end a photo may be taken. ‘The only reason why our recent exyeriment was not wholly successful was because our eylinder at this end was vot exuctly round. It requires an absolutely round cylinder for such delicate work.” —————————————— I'WO GREAT MINDS AGREE.
