A torpedo boat hai at last been con structed which can be kept under control while traveling beneath the surface. The motive power is electricity, and the boat travels rapidly either on the water or 50 feet below. The small crew necessary to navigate this engine of devastation and death are supplied with air from reser voirs, in which it is coudensed. Such a boat should be able to pierce the strong est network surrounding an ironclad and plant a torpedo before the doomed crew could note any ground for suspicion. Ax English syndicate has purchased 2,000,000 acres of land in New Mexico, and is now stocking it heavily with a view to running the largest farm in the world. It is not to be a cattle ranch, but a cultivated farm, and unlimited capital is said to be forthcoming to work it. In some states alien corporations can not hold land, and it is a matter of grave doubt whether an enterprise of such magnitude as this is of any great benefit to the locality. After a while the losses will either be too great, or the profits too small, to suit the foreign owners, when the farm will in all probability be pplit up and rented out, with all the conse quent evils of absentee landlordism. Globe Democrat. JOHN ERICSSON Who was one of the most remarkable men in the world died last Friday, March 8, at his home in New York city. John Ericsson was barn in Sweden and came to this country when a young man. U was eighty-six years old at his death. It often happens that a great manV fame is associated in the popalar niitx: with some achievement inherently not the most remarkable of his career. So it is with Ericsson. It was the Monitor which made and will keep his name household word, and not some other v his multifarious succeises nor all of thcr.i combined. And this is perfectly natural and proper. Whatever the future imple ments and conditions of naval warfar.; may be, and whatever engineers mav now or hereafter think of the 'chcesebo.v on a rafc," the glory of that unique com bat in Hampton lioiids just twenty scyeii years ago today c.iii never be forgottei: It does not become lehs probable with tli; lapse of time that the i.sue of the war might have been different if the Merri uac's work of destruction bad not been stopped just when and where it was, ami the wave of enthusiasm which swept over the loyal states when the story of that was told is justified in the light of history - Ericsson himself probably esteemed many of his inventions the screw pro peller, which revolutioned navigation; the Princeton, which revolutionized ma nne architecture: the locomotive Novelty which competed on even terms with George Stephenson's design and combi ned several features which are still re tained ia universal use, and even the sun motor to which his last years were devo voted as inherently more useful and important than the creation of the Moni tor: but still any man might well be sat isfied to knew that that he would 1 -identified through all time with a feat which sayed the Union. ' Apart from the siecific service render ed by the Monitor, her arrivrl at the pre cise place and moment of a critical emergency suggests some of the character istics which made Ericssou eminent. Except for his persistent energy she would have been built too late, and ex cept for his all-conquering faith in him self she never would have been built at all. The same unwearied devotion to the work in hand distinguished him from the beginning to the end of his life. Jlorcover. his powers were nnselfishly employed for practical and benificent purposes. In recent years he has diversi fied his labors by the study of scientific problem aad possibly by abstract ppecu lation, bat his last days were devoted to an invention which he believed would prove to be his crowning service to his fellow-men. He was a steadfast and simple heroic character, and fit to be Leld In perpetual honor. VHg; Money for Flower. "I don't thirk there is another city in tho country," said a well to do flor ist, "which in proportion to its size kjxmhIs ns much money for flowers us Chicago docs. Tho appreciation of (lowers is a taste that must be culti vated if it is to xi t tain respectable pro portions, and tho rage for flowers among Cliicafroaiis who can afford it ap!ears to increase in intensity season by season. Well known and wealthy families. vho entertain reinilarlv all through the winter, run up bills for amounts which would pay all the liv ing expenses of a family in moderate circumstances for the entire year. A bill for :00, $500 or $750 for lloral de corations for one evening's entertain ment is a very ordinary matter, and it frequently passes tho thousand mark. I naturally think flowers constitute the most delightful of luxuries, and for the fashionable world to coincide with this view is for it to put dollars in my pocket. It is not only the rich IxjopI3 who indulge in floral displays, lowever. Lots of ieople who as a matter of fact cannot afford it do the same thing. Nine-tenths of tho costly lloral tributes that go to the popular actresses of tho tlay are paid for out of tho jxickets of young sprigs who would do far more wisely to sj)end the nioiicj for clothes or, better still, save it up. Then of course there are the countless swarms of oagerMovcrs who lesiegc the affections of their idored ones with handsome bouquets. I pity them all, of course, but they are their own masters, and if they will victimize themselves for my bene fit I suppose I ought not to complain. You may set it down for a fact, though, that Chicago is a liberal sup porter of tho florist, and one who has .i fair sized trade and understands his ousmess Journal. coins money. Chicago A Memorable Content. Oil February 9, 1801, when the sen .ite began to count the electoral votes, it appeared that no one had a majority of tho votes, consequently tho choice was left to the houso of representa tives. That body determined to sit until an election was had, and on the Urst ballot tho states of New York, .s'ew Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, .N'orih Carolina, Iventuclcy aud Ten nessee voted for Jell'ersou, and Massa chusetts, New Hampshire, Connecti jut, Rhode Island, Delaware and South Carolina for Burr, while Mary land and Vermont were divided, t'iiough ample time was allowed to Uurr in which to catch the necessary votes and the air was filled with ru moivi of bargains, he entirely failed to do so. Jefferson, in a letter Jo Mon roe on February 15, expressed great anxiety at the delay, and proposed a law creating the chief justice presi dent. At this, however, the middle states threatened a revolt, and the call of a new convention to frame another constitution. Not till after Jefferson had given a pledge that ho would not remove meritorious subordinates from oliico merely for political reasons, and iiad promised that the government policy would not be materially clianged, did the Federalists yield their opposition and break tho dead lock. Tho thirty-sixth ballot was taken on tho soveuth day of the strug gle, tho day after tho Federal caucus. Morns, of V eriaoni, was absent, and Craiii and Baer, of Maryland, ' cast blank ballots.

The great Lick observatory, of Cali fornia, is, for purposes of observing solar phenomena, a failure. Being located on tho apex of a mountain, the atmosphere, by the heat of the sun, undergoes that phenomenon you may notice at any tJi;e iu the air surround ing a very hot stove a flickering movement that blurs the vision. The Lick observatorv, in . the drrytime, is surroundtel by just such a condition as this. For nocturnal observations tho Lick observatory is unequaled. For solar observations it would bo better if tho oljscrvatory were located on a level plain. IVofessor Nisher in Globe j Democrat. COURAGE. BecattM I bold It ainful to deapoad.

A eehlleman who has had consider able to do with shepherds and drovers in England and Scotlantl, speaking of il Li:.l 1 rri i mo biory puonsneii in ino urcgon lan a day or two since about a dorr sepa rating the ewes and wethers of a flock by noticing the earmarks, says there is no doubt but what it is true. He has known dogs to go into a drove of sheep which were marked with sev eral different marks and single out every one bearing his master s mark. He says the shepherds train their dogs by taking them along when puppies under their care as they mark the sheep, and the dog is thus taught to distinguish marks. Ho says further that at the 6heep market in Islington drivers have their sheep marked with red or blue paint, and when the drives get mixed a dog will go into the band and bring out all his master s sheep, telling them by the color of the mark ing. Shepherd dogs are the most in telligent species of the canine familv. and when they are brought up among herds or sheep and trained to take charge of them it is but reasonable to suppose that they might learn to notice marks of any kind on them. .Port land Oregon lan.
