San I'edro Macati, the Filipinos have
threo rowa of trenches most i f tho dis

the insurgents construe the peace
negotiations to mean that tho Ameri

Filipinos aro also encouraged by the
belief that tho Americans are prepar

ing tho wet season.
This period is euro to bo followed by
much sutTering. Thousands of acres
of land that wero under cultivation

year and tho government will prob

Alfalfa For Cans.
To the Editor of The News:
The virtues and profits of alfalfa
are but comparatively little known.
Anything that, with equal labor, in
creases the profits of the husbandman
is a blessing to the country. Alfalfa
is not an innovation, for its general
worth baa been proven. Its fat pro
ducing and strength giving qualities
have been proven by experiment to bo
superior to timothj', while as a milk
producer it has no peer. Honry Heil,
a progressive farmer and a breeder of
thoroughbred stock of the county, has
ten acres th&t yielded eighty large
loads last year Threo full crops of
hay in one year from one piece of
ground is pretty good, but alfalfa will
yield it. One-half bushel of seed per
acre is the right amount to sow. It
can be sown with rye in autumn or by
itself in the spring. It does not easily
winter-kill. It should be cut before
it is dead ripe and be well cured it
would then Batisfy any stockman.

IIEPOHT OF CHICAGO MAHKETS.
Chicago, May 2'.).
At tho opening of tho market this
morning tho prices were a littlo
weaker. Hoports from O'uln to the ef
fect that spring wheat was doing
finely and that many of the bad crop
reports had been t-ent out for the pur
pose of creatirg bull sentiment, had a
sympathetic inllucnco upon wheat.
Tho declino was only mometary, for
tho wires were hot with bad crop re
ports, and tho market immediately
went up and prices got higher. Tho
first Liverpool cables wero lower, but
the second were 11 higher; St. Louis
seemed to lead in the buying, while
(Jounselman and Day were doing mot-t
of tho buying.
After tho first sharp advance tho
short interest began to cover freely,
thus augumenting tho upward move
ment and causing wheat to reach 772c
and closing at 77 U" ic, while prospects
for corn seems to be bettor, tho sym
pathy with wheat and the good de
mand from abroad gave the market a
very strong tone.
Oats and provisions closed strong
and at a littlo advance over the ses
sion of Saturday.
There will be no market tomorrow
on account of Decoration day.
Tho following is a range of prices
for today, and is furnished by M. S
Briggs, commission merchant. No. 407

contract hi
8 been signed for a
$100,000 plant to furnish 1,000 horse
power to be developed from the waves
cf the ocean, the first of the kind ever
made. Tho power Is for a $1.000,0u0
sanitarium to be built at Sea (Sale,
adjoining Coney island. This power U
to be converted Into electricity, which
"will do all the work, lighting, heating,
operating earrlaces and steamboats!
Kven the cooking will be done by elec
tricity. The contract shows that ma
chinery has at last been designed
which can bottle up the energy of the
eea and make it work. The principle
is simple enough very like that of a
toy popgun. The cylinder is placed
vertically. The piston Is made to rise
and fall by the waves. It is nothing
more than a buoy. When a wave
comes along it is bound to rise, and
when the wave passes it falls. Every
time it rises It compresses so much air.
Of course, the amount of power gen
erated depends upon the number of
buoys. It is claimed that enough power
could be gathered In one station to
supply the world.

once shared the box-seat with the

and being the lover of horses, talked
with the coachman about his team.
One horse in particular he admired.
"Ah," said the coachman, "but that
0:5s ain't as good as he looks. He's a
scientific oss." "A scientific horse!"
exclaimed the canon's friend. "What
on earth do you mean by that?" "I
means," replied the coachman, "a 'os3
as thinks he knows a great deal more
nor he does."

THE STORMY PETREL.
IIott the Little RJrd Ilitchea Its T.gg.
'10 stormy petrels nest Just above
the Atlantic surge on the islets near
lona and the Hebrides. There above
the rock on certain islands in a black,
buttery soil, In which they burrow like
little winged mice, and on a nest of
sea pink lay one white egg. As this
desertion of the regions of light and
air by birds is something outside the
natural course of their lives, it leads
to various odd and unexpected social
complications and domestic problems.
Among the latter is a serious one, the
difficulty of keeping the underground
hcrtise clean or moderately cool. It Is
usually very hot. Sand-martins, for
instance, do not attempt to ventilate
their burrows as rabbits and rats do;
neither do kingfishers nor the stormy
pftrels when they make their own bur
rows, and do not creep into chinks
between piles of stones or rocks. Evi
dence of the high temperature of this
"hot chamber," where the young pet
rels are hatched, is seen in a very
pretty popular belief in the Outer
Hebrides. The people say that they
hatch their eggs, not by sitting on
them, but by sitting near them, at a
distance of six inches between them
and the opening of 4he burrow. Then
the petrels turn their heads toward
the eggs and "coo" at them day and
night, and so "hatch them with their
song." This, which sounds like a fable
o the East Atlantic islands, has really
a basis in fact. Davenport Graham
says that the account is "very correct;
though I never heard the cooing noise
by day, I often did in the evening. It
is rather a purring noise. When its
nest is opened up, the bird is usually
found cowering a few inches away
from its egg." This hot and stuffy at
mosphere may aid the hatching of
eggs; but there is no doubt that it
tilings into being other and very un
desirable forms of life. The nests and
burrows of sand-martins are full of
most unpleasant insects, and those of
the kingfisher are nearly as bad.

The woman vho has a country house
comes to town these days and tells
tales of her trials and joys, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. Shj
came in from Long Island for a day's
shopping last week and after glowing
accounts of her flower beds and the
wonderful kitchen garden she had
planned for the summer, she said:
"We always have curious experiences
with garden workers and farm hands;
not that we do much farming, but we
have to have some one to watch over
the potatoes and keep an eye on the
peas. This year we have a fine man,
and our garden is like an English pic
ture. But Franz was not so good when
we got him. lie came to help our
farm hand, Peter, and Peter set him.
to work in the onion patch. The onion
patch was the pride of my life. It was
flourishing as nothing but weeds
had ever flouished in my garden, and
I took more interest in its progress
than I did in my rose bower. Well,
after Franz had been busily bending
over the onion patch one morning
Peter discovered to his horror that his
assistant had pulled up all the big
onions. Nothing but little ones re
mained. When the storm of questions
and reproaches broke over his head
Franz said placidly: 'Why. the big
ones were crowding the little ones.
They hadn't room to grow. I wanted
to give them a chance and I pulled the
big ones up.' "

The Director of the Geological Sur
vey of India say3 there abundant
evidence that the tenacity with which
spidemics of the plague cling to par

influenced by the geological formation
of the underlying soil and rock. Areas
where trap and crystalline rocks exist
seem to be especially adapted to the
spread of the disease. The agency of
rats in disseminating the plague is
also regarded as proved. After the
granaries at Bombay have been
emptied. In the grain export season,
the plague Immediately spreads, be-
ause then the rat3 are compelled to
scatter through the town in search of
food.
