To proceed it was again necessary to crawl, and the doctor once more assumed the infantile mode of locomotion. An advance ot a few

feet had been made, when A COLD CLAMMY SUBSTANCE

was touched by the hand, and two bright, glistening orbs gradually rose in air and flashed back with intensified brightness the feeble rays of the taper. Almost instantly a hissing, rattling sound startled the hearing, and the doctor realized that he had encountered a rattlesnake. To retreat was the work of a second, and the chamber just left was soon regained. Assuming an upright position, the doctor cast a hasty glance at the aperture whence he had emerged, and lo and behold, there approached his adverssry, which, when seeing the disturber of his peace, coiled himself for a spring. A look was sufficient to satisfy the Doctor that the snakq was ono of the largest of liis species, and a determined foe. Immediate action was necessary To retreat was to hasten and invite attack, with the chances in favor of the snake. To take the aggressive, then, was the work of another second, and picking up a chunk of ore the Doctor hurled it with all his might at the protruded, vibrating head of the snake just as he was in the act of springing.

The fuses were of the old kind, and each fitted into a brass plug which was driven into the shell. The fuses were cut for fourteen and a half seconds, and on top of them and into the plug was screwed a cap filled with quick-burning powder, which, ignited by the Itame of the powder charge instaneously connected with the fuse and started it. The luse in this case was defective, and, while the watchers were still deafened by tiio noise and blinded by the great cloud of smoke from the discharge^ a second explosion, following immediately on the first, told that the shell had exploded a short distance from the muzzle, and the fragments of iron dropping into the water all along the line of the shot substantiated that theory.

[certainty of the locality of tiio rep the torturing ignorance of the success or failure of the blow, the fear to move, all combined to intensify the hair-raising, chilling terror of the situation. To relight the taper was determined upon, though not without the realization of tiio dread fact that the snake would take advantage of the first ray of light and spring upon its foe. With fear and trembling the Doctor eagerly followed the advancing rays of the taper as they lit up the chamber, and his feelings of relief and joy can well be imagined as he saw before him, not three feet distant, the stunned body of the snake—the aim with the rock bad been a success. At

meantime tiio wind began to blow vehemently, but the boy wandered carelessly along the beach, seeking for shells, till the rapid rise of the lake rendered it impossible for him to return to the spot where lie had been left by his mother. He immadiately began to cry aloud, and she being on her return, heard him, but instead of descending the ravine hastened to the edge of the precipice, from the bottom of which the noise seemed to proceed. On looking down she behold her son struggling with the waves, and vainly endeavoring to climb up the bank , which was fifty feet perpendicular height, and very slippery. There being no possibili-

Wheat exports in 1879 were not very much larger to Great Britain than in 1878. hut those to France increased from 4,337,COO bushels to 42,117,000, this increase being the more notable in contrast with the fact that for some years previous our exports to France had scarcely exceeded a million bushels. A continuance of short crops abroad and ample ones at home is too much for rational expectation, and it is not at all impossible to overdo cereal culture; nevertheless, it can hardly iio rash to assume tliat tliis country is to be the chief granary for the world. Certainly its productive capacities seem ns yet not only far from used, but far from measured. English capitalists are quietly acquiring estates in Minnesota, and it has been estimated that one-fourth of the present unoccupied portion of that State alone can produce, if in wheat, and averaging the ordinary yield, or thirt >en bushels to the acre, 74,000,000 bushels, or more than one-half our present wheat exports. English, Irish and Scotch are settling in that State; the march of Mennonites westward is a fixed fact; Minnesota's northern neighbor, Manitoba, is looking up as a wheat-growing region, and is looking toward an outlet by the Hudson Bay, which is regarded as open long enough annually to lot the crops through, and manifestly has the advantage in distance. Whether we are seriously men aced by another northern water way. as well as by the Welland, may be questionable: but to the development of the grain-growing Northwest there- seems to bo no present discoverablo limit.

During the past lew months the Standard (lil Company has had agents through tiio Northwest buying lands, principally in Minnesota, for which, in every inst.v ee, cash has been paid. None but the best wheat lands are being taken. These purchases have already amounted to over 40,000 acres in Minnesota alone. Two weeks ago a man was sent quietly from Pittsburg to superintend a large portion of this land. Of the 10,UK) acres, 20.000 will be broken up and planted in wheat this year. Purchasing agents are still in the Northwest, and the work of gobbling up lands continues. This purchasing committee travel in a special car, and when they encounter a tract of land that suits them. Ups at once absorbed. Much of this property is in shape of land grants to railroads. It is the intention of the Standard Company to purchase 1,000,000 acres of the choicest wheat land of the West beloro another year. The chances arc that they will have this enormous quantity inside of six months,as the work of inlying is being carried on in a princely manner. It is said to be the most gigantic land speculation that any country has ever known, and yet so secretly has it been carried on that nobody outside of the giant oil monopoly knew of it until 40,UX)acres had been gobbled up.

grab. Discussing the big speculation a prominent railroad man said: “In tins railroad managers can see some of tho results in permitting corporations like the Standard Oil Company to exact drawbacks and rebates on shipments." Aside from rebates on Heights, a large portion of tho Standard’s profits comes from their manipulation of the oil markets. Those are hut two of tho sources whence tho monopoly can draw for tho capital they are now investing in Western lands. A corporation that can increase its assets to $22,000,000 in ten years on a capital of $100,000, control Legislature, and tho three great trunk lines of the country, is probably not pressed for funds. The opinion obtains among those who are cognizant of this move of the Standard that tho object is to get control of the wheat market. They will be largo producers of wheat, and, if necessary, large buyers as well. It is thought their power over the railroads, as shown in the transportation of oil, will enable the Standard to say to the world just how much it shall
