A machine to blow glass is one of the
recent achievements. At Muncie, In
diana, the machines are now used in
making fruit jars. According to the
Iron Age, "the introduction of these
machines in glass making is fully as
revolutionary in that trade as was the
introduction of the Bessemer converter
and the open-hearth furnace in the iron
trade, the type-setting machine in the
printing business, the self binding har
vester in agriculture, the spinning Jen
ny in the cotton trade, the sewing ma
chine among seamstresses, &c. The
window glass manufacturers are antic
ipating the early perfection of blowing
machines for their branch of the trade."
An Interesting exhibit at the Trans
misslssippi exposition at Omaha is to
be the "Tom Thumb" train, so called
because it is said to be the smallest
in the world. It Is the work of a young
man without technical training. The
engine weighs four hundred and fifty
pounds, and its length, with the tender,
is six feet seven and one-half inches,
The cylinder is one and one-half by two
and one-half inches, and the driving
wheels are eight inches in diameter.
The engine, however, hauls six obser
vation cars, in each of which two chil
dren may be comfortably seated. The
entire length of the train is twenty-
nine feet. Six gallons of water in the
tender tank and five in the boiler will
furnish sufficient eteam to propel it tor
two hours.
An effort is being made in Pennsyl
vania to raise the grade of its cheese
to that produced in neighboring states,
particularly in New York. It is sup
posed that the inferiority of the Penn
sylvania cheese .is due to a robbing of
the milk of its cream before it is con
verted into cheese. To remedy this the
recent legislature provided for grades
of cheese, and under this enactment
full-cream cheese must contain 32 per
cent, of butter fat, three-fourths cream
24 per cent., one half cream 16 per cent..
one-fourth cream 8 per cent., and
skimmed cheese anything below 8 per
cent. To the complaint that the aver
age sample of creamery milk will not
make a cheese having 32 per cent, of
butter fat, the agricultural authorities
of the state point to reports in New
York where a similar law exists, and
where creamery milk to the amount of
E,000,000 pounds from 15,000 cows, when
made into full cream cheese, showed
an average of 33.83 per cent, of butter
fat. As proof also of the advantages
of a grading law it is alleged that in
ferior Pennsylvania cheese has been
shipped to New York factories, where,
for a. consideration it has been branded
aa New York cheese, to the injury of
the consumer, and also of New York's
reputation as a cheese producer.

The fire chiefs' boom was like a boom
In the stock market biggest and most
glorious at the end. Yesterday was full
of interest and excitement for both the
participators in the doings and the
spectators, and last night's blaze of
glory on the old Green was wondered at
and admired by an even larger crowd
than was delighted by the first even
ing's illumination.
The fire chiefs depart well pleased
with their visit and their treatment
here. New Haven heartily reciprocates
their good feeling. The city has been
well pleased with them and has learn
ed much from them besides being pleas
antly excited and stirred up. The gen
eral feeling is that the convention has
been a shining success In every way,
and this success will encourage the
people of New Haven to other like ef
forts. And let it not be forgotten that New
Haven Is now the abode of the Presi

Wheat climbed yesterday in a way to
do the soul of the agriculturist and the
bull speculator good. Six cents added in
one day to the price of a bushel is not
bad for him that hath the bushel. The
wheat market yesterday acted as if
there were no wheat in the world ex
cept a few measrre samples and as if
the demand were more urgent, than the
demand of the summer girl for some
body to flirt with. How high the price
will go and how hlgrh it will stay can
not be told except by those who want to
sell when it is high enough, and they
name some remarkable figures.
Whatever the fluctuation in the price
of wheat may be it is pretty certain
that the price will not be low this year.
Such bulges as that of yesterday must
seem t,o the flabbergasted silverites as
if fate was rubbing it into them. The
previous great rise right in the face of
the great fall in silver was sufficiently
sickening to the silver theorists, and
yesterday's addition was more than
sufficiently sickening to them.

The total value of exports of domestic,
merchandise for the twelve months
ending June 30 was $1,050,987,000, the in
crease over the previous year having
been 19 per cent. Of all this the United
Kingdom took $483,265,000 worth, and
the United Kingdom and British pos
sessions took $593,400,000 of it, or 56.4
per cent, of our total exports. Eussia
took only $8,016,000 worth, and South
America took but $33,768,000 worth.
That Is, the United Kingdom and the
British possessions took of our surplus
product last year seventeen and one
half times as much as South America.
fourteen times as much as South
America and Eussia together and five
and one-half times as much as South
America, Mexico, Russia, Asia, Africa
and Oceanica (leaving out the British
possessions). In view of these facts
the Eailroad Gazette makes the fol
lowing sensible suggestion: When
we are looking about for means to in
crease our foreign trade it is well to
bear in mind the fact that a gain of 1
per cent, in our sales to our kinsmen
would be equal in amount to a gain of
74 per cent, in our sales to Eussia, 37
per cent. In our sales to South America
and 50 per cent, in our sales to China.
Obviously, the business man muet work
along the lines of least resistance or he
must fail, for some one else will inev
itably find those lines. One would sup
pose that the same policy would be
good for a business nation. That being
granted, it eeems fair to assume that
it is easier to add 1 per cent, to our
British trade, where all the great ma
chinery of trad& already exists, than 74
per cent., or 50 per cent., or 17 per cent,
to our trade with much poorer and
much less civilized countries.
run other side.
The Klondike excitement is diminish
ing and the other side of the story is
leaking out. A rich wholesale San
Francisco merchant, George L. Fish,
who has returned from Dyea, says that
when he left there were 1,500 men at
Dyea or on the trail leading to the Chil
koot pass, while at Skagaway and on
the way up to the White pass there
were 3,500 more. Few will get to Daw
son City this year. There will be thou
sands at Skagaway this winter. There
isn't a building in the place nothing
for shelter but tents. Some of the ad
venturers are offering their $400 outfits
for $100. One poor fellow in the Chil
koot pass who was reduced nearly to
starvation stole a side of bacon from a
pack. The two owners caught him and
shot him dead in his tracks. " The pros
pectors held an inquest and justified the
killing. Careful and conservative bus
iness men writing from Dyea and other
points in Alaska say that the ignorance
of the conditions the prospectors have
had to meet is appalling. Of the hun
dreds who sailed with him from San
Francisco, writes one, not one in twen
ty had any definite information as to
how to reach his destination.
Winter will soon set in in the Klon
dike, and next spring there will be
some sad news from that region.
i-as it i ox xoris.s.
Fluftery ia Its Last lays.
Little in the announcements of fail
and winter fashions is marked by rad
ical changes. Little seems definitely
settled, but evidently a distinct effort
is to be made to ward off the awful
dread of ruffles and tuffles being ex-
tended from muslins of slimmer to
wools of winter. Fashion is capricious,
and If she decides to make women wear
their sealskin capes ruffled from hem
to throat they'll all try to do it, but it
seems that a distinct effort is to be
made to abolish ruffles and flounces
with the going out of light materials.
Belted bodices will remain in favor, and
blouse and box-blouse effects will con
tinue, though the annual effort to in
troduce the princess will again be
made. Already some light cloth dress
es for fall wear are being sent over and
these may be regarded as straws show
ing the way the winter wind of fashion
is supposed to be making its way.
One is a nobby street rig of very light
cloth, checked black and white, and is
made with a bodice buttoning double
breasted, the entire front being a box
ed pleat bagging well over a white belt.
The double row of buttons are large
cut jet. The belt is white leather,
rather wide and buckled with black.
The bodice fits without a wrinkle in the
back, the cloth being stretched to the
figure without seams. The skirt seems
almost to be fitted in the same manner
at the hips, and there are a great many
rows of narrow black braid at the hem.
Another of these forerunners is
sketched herewith. It was black etam-
inie barred with white and lined with
scarlet. The skirt was arranged in
double box-pleats on either side of the
front, each pleat held down by a black
passementerie ornament. The Jacket
bodice had slashed tab-like fronts, and
was trimmed with passementerie, a V
of the same decorating the back. The
belt was black silk and small orna
ments similar to those on the skirt
trimmed the sleeves. The vest was
white satin veiled with numerous chif
fon frills and chiffon trimmed collar
and wrists. FLORETTE.

STORIES OF THE SULTAN.
The last Quarterly Review has an arti
cle on Eastern affairs, from which the
following extracts are taken:
Those who are personally acquainted
with the Sultan agree in describing him
as remarkably gentle, polite, and
amiable, with an active mind, great
natural penetration of intellect, ant no
culture. M. Blancard, in one of the
books which we have placed at the
head of this article, speaks of him as
a prince whose heart is always open to
every generous sentiment, He has suc
ceeded in gaining the complete con
fidence of more than one experienced
diplomatist and among them the pre
sent Minister of Foreign Affairs in
France, who, in a very famous essay
in the Revue de Paris, endeavored to
excuse, ' or even defend, some of the
most sinister acts of Abdul-Hamid.
Midhat Pasha, one of the most remark
able men in the Turkish empire of our
time, and an exceptionally keen
observer, spoke to the writer of this
article in terms of enthusiastic ad
miration of the Sultan. His disciple,
Mourad Bey, now the leader of the
young Turkish party, acknowledges
that the throne of the Ottoman Sultans
has not been for centuries occupied by
a sovereign so irreproachable in his
morals as Abdul-Hamid.
The question then arises, how can a

sovereign who appears so good be re
sponsible for the wholesale massacres
in Armenia and Constantinople.
The explanation seems to be that the
Sultan Is dominated by terror to such
an extent as entirely to have lost the
balance of his reason. He is afraid on
the one hand, of the daggers of fanatics
who blame" him for concessions to
Christian Powers and for loss of
territory. On the other hand, ' he
trembles lest the young Turkish party
should procure his deposition and per
haps compass his death. Fear has
cured him 0( arrogance and pride, pas
sions and vices, but it has also killed
every generous , sentiment. He is said
to have been naturally good, and to
have sympathized deeply with human
suffering in all its forms. In the early
years of his reign he shrank from al
lowing capital punishment to be Inflic
ted in any circumstances, but at the
first moment when his fears were
aroused he sent hundreds of men to a
lingering and cruel death. He Is a
true Mussulman, and respects all con
nected with Moslem worship, but young
Mussulman theologians having made
themselves obnoxious to him in 1892, he
ordered them to be thrown into the
Bosphorus in scores. He is said to be a
good father, fond of his children, an
excellent master who loads with favors
those dependent on him. A short time
ago, however, having to pass through
the city of Constantinople, to assist at
a religious ceremony, he took the
youngest of his sons between his knees
in his carriage.to protect him from the
daggers of the assassins, and he in
sisted on Osman Pasha, the old hero
of Plevna, sitting on the front seat,
hoping that the widespread popularity
of the brave old soldier would protect
him from dynamite and explosive
bombs.
The' Sultan's native fanaticism is
encouraged both by fear and by evil
counsellors.
One of the chief counsellors of the
Sultan in this matter is a man' named
Aboul Houda, a fanatical dervish, whose
character bears a striking resemblance
to that of Mucklewrath in "Old Morta
lity." This man came to Constanti
nople, bringing with him from Asia
Minor a great reputation for sanctity
and wisdon. When he arrived in the
imperial city he wag instantly surround
ed by vast multitudes! who hung upon
his words as he' preached against the
corruption of the age, the luxury of the
great, the lukewarmness of the believers
the concessions to the infidel, and the
feebleness of the commander of the
Faithful. The Sultan, frightened at the
authority he was acquiring, took him
into the palace. Well-informed people
say that, at certain hours, the Sultan
and the dervish meet for pious exer
cises and practices of penance, and
strange stories are told of incanta
tions and the raising of spirits.
The Reviewer assures us that the
Sultan has in contemplation a fresh
series of massacres this time in Mace
donia. In this connection a new per
son appears on the scene.
Some ten years ago there was a
Pasha intrusted with government in
northwestern Turkey remarkable for
his eccentricities and many stories are
told illustrating his methods of ad
ministration. One day, In the depth of
winter, when the ground was covered
with snow, he passed by a village inn,
on the outside of which some donkeys
heavily laden were tied to a pole and
were shivering in misery and cold. In
side the inn their drivers were comfort
ably gathered round the fire, engaged
in drinking a bowl of heated wine. The
Pasha ordered the load to be taken off
the donkey and placed on the shoulders
of the men, who were then, by his
orders, tied up where the animals had
been secured. He then took the donkeys
Into the inn and offered them himself
the heated wine which had been pre
pared for their drivers. On another oc

casion, also in winter, he observed a
poor woman crying at the door of a
church, because the priest would not
baptize her child without getting from
her a sum of money which she did not
possess. The Pasha sentenced the
priest to be stripped naked, and then to
be drawn through the pond for cattle,
in order, as he said, to teach him to
baptize for nothing. The great enemy
of this Pasha was a man who is now a
very important person in the Western
provinces of the Turkish empire, who is
known as the Mollah Zeka and is in
character not unlike the dervish who
has the special confidence of the Sultan.
He was not long ago under detention
in Constantinople, and when he re
turned to his own country he was
received with frantic enthusiasm. M.
Berard, in his book on Macedonia, de
scribes his triumphant return and how
the Mollah Zeka remained apparently
insensible to the homage of his people,
as, with his turban forced down upon
his brows, his eyes halt closed and fixed
upon the ground, and his hand engaged
in telling his beads, he passed through
the crowds of his admirers. This man
is destined to play a leading part in the
massacres in Macedonia, which, there
is reason to believe, are even now in
contemplation. The massacres in
Armenia were organized by men like
him, strange compounds of hypocrisy
and fanaticism, who spent some time
in Constantinople, then returned to
their country, spoke to the people as
they were gathered round the mos
ques, and communicated to them the
wishes of the Master.
