C. G.

In theso days of close Hearing and email profits nothing, maintains the Boston Trantcript, is despised by the man who seeks toucquiro wealth. It appears that in Scotland there is a company which pays a certain amount yearly to a number of iron works for the privilege of collecting tho smoke nnd gases from the blast furnaces. These are passed through several miles of wrought iron tubing, and as the gases cool there is deposited a considerable yield of oil. One plant,, is reported to yieli 25,OOD gallons of furnace oil per week.

No organisation ha3 done more to remedy this surprising state of things than the League of American Wheelmen; aud it, Secretary, Mr. Isaac B. Potter, of New York, has a word to say in the Forum about the evil and its cure. He considers that the cost to the farmer, of carting his pro.luce over the "roughened streak of soil" that serves us for ? highway, is no small factor in the existing agricultural depression, and poiuts out that the cost of maintaining proper public* wagon roads, though great, is more than repaid to the cornj^.v' rmiuity in the enhanced value of adjacent pro|>erty alone. This position he supports by statistics. It is to he hoped, adds the magazine editor, that Mr. Potter and ids co-workers will succeed m rousing our rural communities to the disgrace 0 of a condition of things which makes ua the laughing-stock of European traveler! in this couutry. The cultivation of tho thin shell pecan has, according to t'ue Now York Poit, bocotne one of the mart profitable industries of Texas. Tho tree b3*lui to bear nuts when six yoars old; at oight it more than pays all expans33 of growiug, and at ten yields a handsome profit. Tho demand in the market is much greater than the supply. The following glittering prospect is held out to tho farmer by a popan-grower of exporienco: Fiftyacros in pecans will, when ton years old, bring him an income equal to a bank with a capital of $300,003 earning ten per cent. In California, fruitlands sell at $300 to $500 per acre. At these prices tho value will bo earned in five years; in six years they earn ten per cent, on a valuation of $1000 to $5000 per acre, and in ten years ten per cent, on a valuation of $10,000 per acre. When I say the pecan exceeds these figures largely, I am only saying what others who have investigated the profits on pecan-growing will confirm. Tho pecan nut in ? favorite every wuore. No fear ot growing more than can bo sold, for, when i the markets of tho United States are supplied, the markets of Europj will be open for them. At one cent per pound they pay better than cottou will at ten cents per pound.

In the Nittional Farmers' Congress at Sedalia, M<>., Congressman John T. Heard, of Missouri, delivered an address on railway transportation, which, he said, was a subject of supreme importance to the farmer. One of the solutions was found in State railway commissions. Missouri had been among the first of the States to deal with the question that way, and Missouri's experience showed that the ? method had been successful. Another method of controlling a railroad rornom. lion in tlio interest** of the people* wu ? j.U'-L".. s should be placed under Government management. Government, railroading, he believed, would be h gigantic failure. In the first place the Government would huve to buy the railroads, and that would 1 cost $10,000,<)0i>,000. That would be impossible and impracticable, because 1 there was in circulatiou oulv $1,500,000,000. H. C. Browu, of Georgia, endorsed everything that ho had heard said. Georgia, he said, had tried 8tatc ownership of railways. Georgia owned the Western and Atlantic Railway. Under State control the rates were high, the service was bad rind deficits were extraordinary. The State found that it had been too expensive to run itsown railway, ami the line was teased to private individuals. Under private control the road charged cheaper rates, gave better service, pa?d a rental of $8,000 a month and made money for tlio lessees.

This is the only person killed outright so far as known ami the body is supposed to be that of th * dynamiter An investigation proceeds and it appear* that Wilson had a companion when he entered the building and inquired for Bage's office. Late in the afternoon the firemen found among the debris a leg which was thought to be that of a woman. If it is or not has not been learned but Itusscll Sage never did employ a woman typewriter, and as this fact is well established, (lie supposition is that if the leg is that of a woin-in's it is all that is left of one of his "put nnd call'' customers, who was in the office at the time.
