Fort Marloa'a Dang-eons.
St. Augustine Letter in Mail and
Express: The most interesting sight of
St. Augustine is Fort Marion, as the
old structure was christened after the
Florida purchase, in honor of the
revolutionary general. Marion. Its
grim, weather-beaten bastions and
parapets are all built of coquina that
strange calcareous deposit of decayed
sea shells, making a kind of natural
and durable mortar that solidifies up
on exposure to tne air. Even a new
structure of this material takes on
instantly a gray and venerable appear
ance. One might wander for hours
or sit for days near one of the boxes
or In the antique watch tower of this
fortification and dream of tbe suces
sive scenes of conquest, of Spanish
cruelty, of French revenge, of Brit
ish conquest, of Spanish preocupation
and of final acquisition by the United
States.
Sergeant Brown of the regular aimy
is in charge of this historic pile. He
will show you through the old case
ments, each of them curious enough.
and will reach his culmination of nor-.
ror In the dungeons beneath the north
west bastion. Here, openlne bv a nar
row passage from the central place of
arms, Is the place of punishment for
prisoners. The walls will show the
recesses into which were let six cros
ses. Before one of the crosses the
hapless prisoner was hung in chains,
so arranged that he could neither sit
nor stand, while every movement was
an agony, and while the cross, emblem
of peace and love, hung above him
until he was ready to confess or die.
It must have been a sacrilegious trav
esty of the crucifixion.
Until tbe year 1835 this large prison
chamber of comparatively public im
prisonment and torture was supposed
to be the most thrilling relic of Span
ish barbarity. But in that year the
moving of a heavy cannon on the out
side parapet above broke through a
roof; and then were revealed two in
ner chambers. Investigation showed
that these inner dungeons were con
nected with the larger prison chamber
by a low, narrow tunnel, mnnlng
through walls four feet thick. This
tunnel, before the transfer of the old
fort, had been blocked with masonry
perhaps to conceal from the new own
ers the testimony of atrocious cruelty;
or perhaps the tunnel was blociced at
a far earlier period.
The first of these dungeons, which
you examine by lantern light, is about
teven feet by twenty and fifteen feet
high. Its length fitted 'it for the use
of the rack and its seclusion prevented
the groans and shrieks of the tortured
from being heard, except, perhaps, as
they might faintly reach through tha
tunnel the chained prisoners in the
outer chamber, to strike further ter
ror to tneir raintlng souls. There is
a small passage for ventilation in the
roof and it was this that after many
years caused the break that led to the
discovery of the torture chamber.
It is with a shuddering realizatIon,of
the possibilities of Spanish ferocity
when. In unbridled power that one
emerges from these dark, stone-walled
dungeons and greets the outer sun
shine with a gasp of relief.

ler may be a bad soldier, but he Is a
very talented business man, says tho
New York Mail and Express. He.
through his agents in .the last two
years, boughtll.000 mules from the
United States and Mexico at about $30
apiece and then sold them through oth
er agents to himself as representing
the Spanish government at $12S apiece,
making a clear profit of $98 a mule.
With all allowance for transportation
and feed. Insurance and labor bills, all
of which were probably paid by the
poor government, tbe clear profit most
have been $800,000.
Equally shrewd was his cattle syn
dicate. The cattle .concession was
given to a concern in which he is said
to have been the chief partner. They
bought cattle, both live and refriger
ated, at G cents a pound, and sold them
at Havana for 20 cents a pound. Tho
consumption in that city is over 100.
000 pounds a day, the profit over $10,
000. and in 600 days the total profit
would be about $0,000,000. He is also
said to have had a large Interest In
the tobacco monopoly, the flour trade,
the potato business, the wholesale cab
bage industry, the bottled beer com
merce and the milk routes of Havana.
It is no wonder, therefore, that the
people of Manila say he sent home
$6,000,000, and the people of Havana
that he transmitted $8,000,000. Of
course this was not all for himself.
He has many poor friends in tho
cortes!
Portlaad Commercial Rtrtcw: Haws
of the progress la Us wheat fields Is
bow attractiag the attention of our
exporters aad grain dealers. Reports
to hand from the state of Washiagtoa
show crops la some parts of the state
are two 'weeks late, bnt are in excel
lent condition. State Grain Inspector
George Wright returned. from a. tour
of the Eastern Washington wheat dis
tricts. Hs says: The -Washington
wheat yield this year may amount to
Z3.ooo.00, bn or 24.000.000 bu. It will
likely be larger than that of last year,
but I would not make any positive
statements as to the' outcome. The
fact that a large part of the Washing
ton wheat sought the seaboard via the
Colombia river last year has made it
impossible for us to get complete fig
ures as to the crop. Whitman county
farmers claim they will produce 10.
000.000 ba this yesr. Whitman is a
large county and the soil Is rich, and
ach a yield would mean that Whit
man county is the greatest what-pro-ducing
county in the state. The joint
is just beginning to form In the late
Whitman county fields. " The farmers
have planted more wheat and less bar?
ley this year, because wheat demanded
a better price than barley last year,
but the barley crop should be fairly
large even this.year. Estimates placed
by dealers state that the crop of the
state of Washington will be from 22.
000,000 bu to 25.000.000 bu. The acre
age of the state is estimated as 5 per
cent Increase over that of 1897. In
Oregon the wheat shows up well, and
arresting Is progressing rather. slowly.
By next month work will become quite
active. Reports from the harvest fields
show that tbe crop is turning out very
good, and that the yield will be as large
as that of 1897. According to this basis,
the crop of the two states will be fully
45,000,000 bu, but we think that tbe
figures are a trifle too large and dealers
here think that our figures, from 41.
000.000 bu to 43,000,000, arc almost cor
rect In the wheat market here very
little doing can be said. Holders are
offering sparingly, and those selling are
pressed for ready money.

Chinaman la tbe Civil T7ar.
The enlistment of a Chinaman in the
volunteer army in California reminds
the Washington Post that there was
but one celestial in the war of the re
bellion. His Chinese name is un
known, but the name under which he
enlisted was Thomas Sylvanus. He
was born in Baltimore about eighteen
years before the outbreak of the war.
When only a child he was taken to
Pittsburg, where he acted as a servant
for a wealthy family in that city.
When the war broke out Thomas ran
away and enlisted in the army. He
served Uncle Sam until the close of
the war, shortly after which he turned
up in Indiana. Pa., where he resided
until his death, which occurred a few
years ago.
While in the service of the United
States Sylvanus contracted a disease
of tbe eyes, from which he almost went
blind. In 1S80 he applied for and was
granted a pension of $12 per month.
He also eccured several hundred dol
lars' back pension. An examination
of the records discloses the fact that
Sylvanus was the only Chinaman in
the late war, and consequently tho
only one of his race who drew a pen
sion. At last accounts his -widow and
children were still living in Indiana,
Pa.
The Indiana Fralt Proaaact.
Early In the season Prof. J. Troop
of Purdue University published the re
sults of inquiries sent to every county
in the state concerning the prospect
for fruit At that time 24 counties gave
the prospect for apples as good, 42 only
fair and 9 as poor. Pears. 55 good, 17
fair; 3 poor. Peaches. 62 good. 8 fair.
5 poor. Plums, CI good, 9 fair and 5
poor. Not all of the counties reported.
In order to ascertain whether these
estimates would hold good or not. a
second lot of inquiries was sent out
to the same persons about ten days ago,
and 70 have been heard from. This
time the result is as follows: Apples.
57 poor, 13 fair and none good. Pears,
6 poor, 40 fair and 24 good. Peaches, 20
poor, 30 fair and 20 good. Plums. 6
poor. 29 fair and 35. good. These coun
ties are well distributed over the state,
from the extreme north to tbe Ohio
river, so that these last figures may
be taken as representing the fruit pros
pect for the whole state. As will be
seen, the percentage has dropped very
materially since tbe blossoming period,
and It now appears that we shall be
obliged to look to ether states fcr our
winter apples.

The miners are reticent about
amounts they brought. The reason for
tho observance of such secrecy lies in
a desire to evade the payment of the
10 per cent, royalty exacted by the Ca
nadian government. Not in every case
have the miners paid royalty on tbe
full amount taken out of their claims,
and many of them have smuggled out
larger sums than they will admit.
It is said that the shipment of gold
on the Roanoke would have been
much heavier had those in the interior
not feit somo apprehension of an at
tack at sea by privateers.
The North American Trading and
Transportation Company will, it ;a
stated, ship most of their gold on later
boats. Some of the wealthiest miners
will come out later In the season.

Commodore Chauncey, during the
war of 1812, commanded for a timo
the fleet on Lake Ontario, and had the
extreme ill fortune of never during
that period exchanging a hostile shot
with the enemy.There were a great
many uncharitable enough to blame
the commodore for this, believing thai
he was rather anxious that this shoulc
be tbe case. Some time after the wai
he was placed in charge of the navy
yard, and one day caught a youngster
with a basket, gathering chips. Walk
ing up to him he snatched the basket
and roughly ordered him to leave the
premises, while he confiscated the bas
ket for the owner's presumption of en
tering forbidden ground. The little
fellow backed away until assured tha
he was beyond danger, when he called
out: "Keep the basket if you want:
It's the only prize you ever took!"
Liquid Maaare.
The following directions for prepar
ing a liquid manure are given by the
Gardeners' Chronicle: Put Into a forty
gallon tank or cistern two bushels of
fresh horse dung; stir it well about, and
leave it to clear; and in about a week
adl one peck of fresh soot enclosed
in a canvac bag, squeeze this a little
every third day, so as to make its con
tents exude. Let the mixture get clear,
and then use. say one quart to three
gallons of rain or soft water. This 's
a good manure for all kinds of soft
wooded plants. It may be made strong
er by adding chickens' or pigeons'
dung, at the rate of half a peck to the
above quantities. If, In summer time.
bubbles generate on the surface, it is
a symptom of fermentation, and the lat
ter should be stayed, by the addition
of a small quantity of white vitriol.
Of course, after the cask ha3 been flilsd
up twice, the contents should be turned
out and a fresh lot made up. Instead
of clear water, soap sud3 may be used
in filling up the caek.

John Unll Knows a Good Thine.
Great Britain has the most powerfu
navy in the world. Untold million?
have been spent in its building, and
the best brain of the island kingdom
has been devoted to its improvement.
Yet, Impressed with tbe behavior of
tbe American navy, and openly ac
knowledging the superiority of its
methods, the British admiralty has
taken steps looking to the adoption of
the American system of gunnery and
open sea target practice. The accu
racy of the fire of the American guns
is the wonder of the world. Dcs

Lazy Days la the Canteens.
Never did a canteen of any army
post in this country make as much
money as did the canteen at Jefferson
barracks during the life at Camp Ste
vens, says the Kansas City Star.
Canteen are the creation of the gov
ernment by law, for the benefit of the
troops at a post They form a sort of
club for the privates and "noncoms"
where they may get a meal, a cigar
and what a saloon in town affords. Tbe
profit go to the benefit of the mess, to
eke out the table with food not sup
plied in the government rations. For
men grow weary of government rations
and to be able to order a meal of ham
and eggs ox a steak or get- a cheese
sandwich "or a broiled ham Eandwlch
with restaurant coffee becomes quite a
luxury. With the arrival of 5,000 volunteers
the. Jefferson barracks, canteen swirl
ed with business. It was a downright
luxury for the volunteers who were
unused to eating government rations,
as well as a windfall for the Third ca
valry, which operated it. The Third
had bees stationed at the barracks.bst
is now at the' front There was this
Xeir Hand Fire Kasine.
Enthusiastic descriptions are given,
according to the Philadelphia Record
of a new hand fire engine for use in
suburban and country towns, where the
public service is not within easy call
which has lately been brought out in
Great Britain. This machine is porta
ble, being mounted on a pair of strong
iron wheels, and can pump fifty gallon;
of water per minute against a head oi
sixty-five feet, or, when used in emer
gency, can be forced to deliver one hun
dred gallons a minute. The engine
rests on four iron feet, this positior
being effected by raising the handle o
the carriage and lowering the boiler
It is of the quick-raising steam type
and may be run up to a working pres
sure in a few minutes, which for emer
gency work is, of course, of great Im
portance. The pump can be discon
nected readily.
Antiquity of Agriculture. The art of
tilling the soil for the production f
fcod is as old as human civilization.
The discovery of the nutritive quality
cf the grains, fruits and vegetables as.
they grew wild must have preceded
the cultivation of them. The fertile
valleys of the Nile, the Euphrates ami
the Ho-ang-ho must have abounded in
these spontaneous productions, and
population would be invited by thio
natural supply, till its density wouii!
demand an increase of production,
which would naturally lead to cultiva
tion. In conformity with this hypothe
sis we find that Egypt, Chaldea -vA
China each claim the introduction of
the agricultural art. It is possible
that cultivation of the soil for the
production of crops was practiced In
each of these countries without tne
knowledge of the others. But the sim
ilarity of the ancient processes and im
plements strongly suggests a common
origin, most probably that detailed in
the ancient Hebrew narrative.

Getting Ircn Into Eggs. An ex
change says a French physician has
conceived of a novel method of ad
ministering iron, if not to hl3 patients
in general, at least to his immediate
family. He has noticed that hens have
powerful digestive organs, and has
discovered that they can digest con
siderable quantities of iron, and send
it back through the albumen of their
cags. in a form which is more easiiy
dlgested by the weaker stomach of man
than if taken in any other way. So
ho feeds his hens salt of iron, mixed
with their wheat, and they lay eggs
extremely rich in predigested Iron.
The amount of iron contained in the
animal tissues of a man weighing 153
pounds is about 100 grains, or a quar
ter of an ounce. Yet even this small
amount is so necessary to tbe economy
of human nature that a few grains less
may produce serious disturbance in thr
system.
