When we introduced Billion Dollar Grass three years ago, little did we dream it would be the most talked of grass in America, the biggest, quick, hav producer on earth, but this has come t<? pass. Agr. Editors wrote about it, Agr. Col1p?ta Prnfps<nr3 Wfcured about it. Aar. In stitute Orators talked abouc it, while in the farm home by the quiet fireside, in the corner grocery, in the village postoffice, at the creamery, at the depot, in fact wherever farmers gathered. Salter's Billion Dolli Grass, that wonderful grass, good for 5 to 14 tons per acre, and lots of pasture besides, is always a theme worthy of the farmer's voice. A. Walford, We3t!ore Farms.

According; to London Engineering, the electrical equipment of the Chilean h?ttlf?shin T,ihf*rhirf is nrrjinrrpfl on an elaborate scale. The vessel is lighted with 1000 incandescent lamps, generally sixteen candle-power, but with fifty candle-power lamps in clusters on the yard-aruis, and fifty candle-power lamps for the coal bunkers. The vessel has five generators, each with an output of 500 amperes at 1000 volts. They may be operated singly or in parallel. Specially insulated cables are used throughout, terminating in gun metal section boxes, which feed the watertight distributing or cut-out boxes from which the lamps are controlled. In addition to the five generators there is a rotary converter. The plant is so arranged that it can be controlled by one man. There are live powerful searchlights, arranged to be withdrawn into cover during action or in heavy weather. There are seventy motors, used generally for ventilating, hut electric ammunition hoists have been arranged for the seven and one-half-inch guns, and wherever suitable electric power has been applied to reduce manual labor. No More Barrels of Matches. Senator Hoar bewails the innovation recently introduced at that end of the Capitol in the purchase of matches. Almost since the time that friction matches were invented the Senate has been receiving its supply in little, round, wooden boxes. Matches in these boxes have been for years kept about the Capitol. When, in Mr. Hoar's committee room, some one asked for matches, the Senator would ramnrt- "Whv we have barrels of matches," and forthwith, at the utterance of the bon mot, around box would be produced. Now the purchasing agent of the Sen. ate has decided to buy matches in the usual paper boxes with which the general public is familiar. That is considerably less expensive, but it puts an end to "barrels of matches" in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.? Washington Post. How Strange.

Russian Troops in the East. London. Eng.?The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Express mails a long story of official corruption in Russia, which seems, from his account, to be equal to that in China. He instances scandalous scamping at the dockyards, and says that money allotted for military and naval stores has been pocketed. The officials all around misappropriate part of the funds passing through their hands. The correspondent declares that corruption has been responsible for the succession of defeats that Russia has suffered. He asserts that the official assurances that there were coal and provisions enough at Port Arthur to enable that place to withstand a twoyear siege, were untrue. When 10,000 tons of coal were ordered to Port Arj thur only 5000 would reach the place. the officials dividing the cost of the re[ raainder. There are thousands of I sacks at Port Arthur supposed to coa! tain 'sugar, but which in reality are | tilled witn cuppea Dries. j.ue vutiespondent adds that the Czar has taken a firm stand and is determined to stop the corruption. Of the 20,000 Russian troops that have arrived at Harbin during the last forty days, only about 6000 have been able to proceed to the front, says the correspondent of the London Times. Of this number 4000 have been sent to Newchwang, Mukden and Port Arthur and 2000 to Vladivostok. The j greater part of the remainder are in | the hospitals at Harbin, as the men j were in wretched condition when they j : arrived. There is great disorder at Harbin Junction, where fortifications are being erected, and it is hoped that when this is remedied troops will arrive at the j rate of 1000 a day. JaDS Rout Korean Rebels.

SUBMARINE BOAT SUNK "No. A1" Run Down While Engaged in Mimic Warfare. Eleven Persons, Including Lieutenant Manser^U, the Senior Officer, Drowned ?First Mishap of the Kind Kaoirn. Portsmouth, England. ? One of the newest of the submarine vessels recently added to the British Navy, the No. A 1, was struck while maneuvring in seven fathoms of water by a big steamship and went to the bottom a wreck. Eleven persons were drowned within her steel sides, one of the victims being Lieutenant Mansergh, the senior officer engaged in submarine work. Not one person on board was saved. The vessel that ran her down was the, Berwick Castle, a Donal Currie line'r, to the officers of which no blame attaches, as her officers were unaware of the presence of the submarine in those waters, and there was nothing above water to indicate that it lay below. The accident occurred half a mile off the Nab Lightship, at Bainbridge, Isle of Wight, where the submarine was engaged in maneuvres. She was far uown unaer ine wuiur uAvuuuig uitr approach of a British battleship, which, in the mimic war she was playiug, she intended to torpedo. The liner felt the impact of the collision, but the officers did not dream of the real nature of the obstruction they had struck. On arriving in port the official report wss that the liner had hit a torpedo, presumably a harmless affair used fcy the fleet in its practice work. The other submarines 'and torpedoboat destroyers taking part in the maneuvres heard the report of the Berwick Castle, but the dreadful significance of it was not realized. It was only after waiting for several hours in vain for the A 1 to reappear that suspicion was aroused. Finally the hull was detected in the water half a mile off the lightship. She was located by the breaking of the waves at that spot. That the submarine rose to the surface just before being struck is probable, for the officers and men of the Berwick Castle say that they saw a glistening, torpedo-like hull in the water. Tlie No. A 1 was of the latest Holland (American) model, and while she had proved to be capable in most ways, she was regarded as a bad diver. She was built at Barrow, was 100 feet long and had a displacement of 180 tons. This is said to be the.first mishap ?f the kind on record. WOOD NOMINATION CONFIRMED.

I A WIDE AREA IS AFFECTED I Atlantic Seacoast. From St. John, N. B? to Boston. Feel* Vibrations That Rock Buildings in Some Places?Much Damage is Done in Maine and Other States ?Small Towns Report Loss. Boston. Mass.?All of Eastern Now ; England, with Boston as a centre, spent some time in tracing the effects i I l of an earthquake that shook this re! gion. bringing city and country folk i ; out of their beds and doing some coa- j | siderable damage to buildings. Reports indicate that the earthquake j j shock was fe'.t in nearly all sections of j j New England and the maritime prov- I j inces. The extent and severity of the j i disturbance, astronomers say. make it : j the most remarkable iu twenty years. The motion of the earth was most | violently apparent in Eastern Maine, i ,where from three to seven distiuct j jliocks were felt. Bar Harbor noted | seven shocks of a violence sufficient to ' cause the lire alarm bell to strike sev- j eral times. Calias, Me., reported that I buildings were rocked so /?$ to shake ! pictures from the walls. From this point to Hartford, Conn., including all { parts of New Hampshire ana Vermont, as well as Massachusetts and RLode Island, the trembling of the earth was noted. At Harvard observatory three shocks were noted. The direction of the earth's movement was not recorded by the instruments. Professor E. C. Pickering. head of the observatory, with a corps of assistants, is studying the phenomenon. Professor PickeriD^ made the followilng statement: "About all that we could do was estimate the duration of the disturbance. We found that the shock started at one hour four minutes and ten seconds after midnight, and that it lasted several seconds. There were two strong shocks and a third lighter vibration. The strong shocks were greater in some respects than any earthquake I ever experienced." The earthquake rocked buildings Here, tumDiea caimueys u?w auu. caused many windows to be broken. At Augusta, Me., chimneys were shaken down and crockery smashed. In Boston the trembling of the earth lasted several seconds and frightened many people. Dishes were thrown from shelves and many chimneys were knocked down. The rattle of the dishes and the noise of the falling chimneys caused alarm, and telephone operators in the exchanges were kept busy answering inquiries from anxious subscribers. The earthquake shocks are said by officials of the Harvard observatory to have been the most severe experienced in this section of the country since the memorable seismic disturbance of 1884. The earth waves were very perceptible. In the photographic dark-room of the observatory the water tanks which were nearly filled, were shaken to such an extent that a considerable quautity of water fell upon the floor. A number of windows were broken in Cambridge, and one man declares that hi3 wife was thrown from her bed by the shock. At Worcester people were aroused by a distinct jar of their homes and a rumbling sound. They called newspaper offices by telephone to ask if there had been an explosion in the city.

Maddened by Jealousy Christian KirHchoffer Attempts Triple Tragedy? Shootiuj Preceded by Quarrel. Now York City.?Driven to madness by jealousy of bis pretty wife, Christian Kirschoffer, forty years of age, shot her, killed his four-year-old son, Freddy, and then sent a bullet into his own brain at his boarding-house, at South First street and Kent avenue, Williamsburg. The shooting was preceded by a brief quarrel, which was ended by thq husband drawing a revolver. The wife picked up ,i.e boy. and, screaming, started to run from the room. She had reached the door when the man fired. One bullet pierced the child's head and another struck the woman in the face. KirschofCer then fired upon himself, the ball entering his temple. He was dead when the ambulance arrived. No one saw the tragedy but the family servant Fanny Curry, who was on the floor below. She said Kirschoffer, on returning from a butcher shop, handed the purchase to the girl, and then turning to his wife, told her sternly he wished to see her and the boy upstairs. When Policeman Fallen, brought by the servant, rushed into the parlor on the secoud floor of the house, he found the husband dead and the boy unconscious with a wound in his head on the floor beside him. The wife leaned out of the window unconscious with a gaping wound in her right temple. The servant says the jealousy of Kirsehoffer had been manifested a great deal of late and the husband had insisted upon the wife explaining in minute detail bow she spent the time when he was absent. This demand she had resisted and altercations had been frequent. TORNADO WRECKS TOWN. Great Damage Done by Wind and Hail in Missouri. Higginsville, Mo. ?
