merit due to those to whom it belongs. It is
gratifying to notice this liberal recognition
of the efforts of others in the cause
of humanity and to promote science
That grand institution of France, the Acade-
my of Science, has been famous for the broad
and liberal spirit with which it has recognized
merit all over the world. 1t never cares to ask
what the nationality of man may BE-, and
only what he has done or what his merits are.
The press should be equally as cosmopolitan
and liberal in all matters pertaining to science,
discoveries or whatever tends to promote
knowledge or the progress of the age. To
reveal the hidden secrets of Equatorial Africa,
to determine the geography of that region
and the sources OF the Nile to open the way
for the civilization of the native tribes, and
to that magnificent table land of the African
Continent subservient to cultivation and COM
merce, should be the object of all civilized
countries. And in this it is proper for the
press which is the great lever of modern
civilization and progress, to lead the way.
The power and usefulness of the press are
known now to the enlightened statesmen and
rulers of the world One instance of this, in
connection with the search for DR.. Living
stone and the exploration of the Upper Nile
region, we may mention. 1t is known gene
rally now that we sent another expedition in
search of Dr. Livingstone and to explore the
region of Equatorial Africa, in addition to that
of which Mr.. Stanley is chief This went up
the Nile and somewhat in the course of Sir
Samuel Bakers expedition. The liberal Khe-
dive of Egypt agreed to share the expense of
this expedition with u.s. thus showing at the
same time his recognition of the power and
usefulness of the press and his liberality in
promoting science and knowledge This ex-
ploring party will, probably, proceed south over
Lake Nyanza, and, after reaching Ujiji, 90
to the east coast by the caravan track
and come out at Zanzibar. If nothing unfore-
seen or serious accidents hinder we may ex-
pect a full and very interesting account from
this well equipped and strong party. We may
probably have an account of Sir Samuel Ba-
kers expedition. as well as additional informa-

SUNNYSIDE HEATER.

SUNNYsIDE AT MARYLAND STATE FAIR, BAL
TIMoRB.-Flrst premium for Fire-p place Heaters
awarded the Sunnysidc.
Advantages of the Snnnyside;
1. IL Is so constructed that one-third more OF
the radiating surface extends into the room, Civ
ing that much more additional heat without ex-
ira fuel
2. 1t is the only Hot-Air Fireplace Heater in
the market. Like the regular built cellar heater,
1t loses no heat but confines 1t all to its legiti-
purposes.
3. The fuel magazine is double the usual size,
extending from the fre-box to the top of the
stove, with capacity for twenty-four hours sup
ply of coal.
4. The patent double cover for coal magazine
the room, and makes it impossible for any puff
fngs or explosions to occur. This is an advant-
age possessed by no other fireplace stove in the
market.
5. There are three air ccambers, wherein o
brisk circulation is kept up, drawing the cold air
in the room through heated tlues into large
hot-air reservoir, at the back of the stove.
g No side pipes are used, IA the air is heated
In a reservoir having double radiating flues and
double back, supplying large quantities of hot
airwithout waste of heat or fuel.
z. The SUNSYsIDE utlizcs the waste heat so
thoroughly that we frequently heat an adjoining
room on the first, besides heating the rooms in
second and third stories.
s. damper on top of the stove, connected
with the hot air tues, controls the quantity of
hot air required for the use of either the upper
or lower rooms. All other fireplace stoves are
very nconvenicnt in this respect.
.. The Crate is self-sealing, and no dust can
escape while shaking it.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.-As to plant
ing Strawberries, about which we have ma
ny inquirers, there are several ways. OF
course the ground must be dug good
depth, and pulverized carefully, having ap-
piled liberal quantity of barnyard manure.
The beds can be marked out three feet
wide and made as long as may be desired.
Let the foot-paths between the beds be
eighteen inches apart and remove from
them all the runners as fast as they en-
croach. Set the plants firmly but not too
deeply in the ground, one foot apart each
way. Get the Triomphe de Gand, which
is of mixed sexes, and Hovey's Seeding,
which is pistillate, and plant them in al.
terndte beds, side by side, but do not let
them commingle, which they will do if the
vines are allowed to cross the paths. Some
persons may prefer Downcrs Prolific or
Russell's Prolific, both excellent varieties,
or Jucunda, which does well in some pla-
ces. Either of these can be substituted for
Triomphc, if Hovey is retained, which we
would advise. Thus far we have cultivat-
ed no strawberry at all equal to the Tri-
omphe. If crop is wanted exclusively
for marketing choose the Albany Seeding
by all means. 1t will produce generally n
greater quantity Of fruit than any other,
and will bring in the most money. Straw
berry beds can be planted out as early as
the ground can be got in suitable condition.
Many persons prefer the hiU system of
planting out Strawberries, and with some
very strong-growiug varieties is probably
the BEST But from our own experience we
prefer the broadcast planting. 1t has sew
eral advantages. The plants keep the
ground moister, it requires less labor to
cultivate, and the beds last twice as long
by producing new plants every year, and
ms a consequence the berries yearly get
smaller.
One thing must be particularly borne in
mind: the beds mast be kept clear of weeds.
Two weeks after the crop has been secured
a'o'c OF the rineS, not SO closely as 10 iniure
the crown, and let them remain as mulch.
Late in the autumn the beds should be CO.
vered with straw or light manure and in
the spring the very coarsest portion should
either be removed or carefully placed about
the plants. When this is done, should the
plants have been disturbed by the frost,
pass over them light roller, or apply
about an inch of fine soil to the whole bed.
If any top-drcssing is applied, it should
be in the spring, and then there is nothing
better than light coating Of ground bones.

PerilOus and Daring Feat.

The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution de-
tails the following perilous feat: On
the 18th ult. two fox dogs, belonging to
Mr.. Knit, of Gwinnett county, ran a
fox to Stone Mountain. While near
the site of the old tower, they disap-
peared from sight. Later in the day
parties living near what is termed the
steep side" were startled at hearing
dogs barking and howllng, and after
looking closely could see them, about
two-thirds of the way up, apparently
on crag jutting out from the perpen
dicular wall. One of them, which
was considerably below the other, was
seen to fall and roll over, but succeed
ed in regaining foot-hold. The dogs
staid there until Wednesday noon.
Several gentlemen went to the top of
the mountain to see If means could be
provided to rescue the d gs By
means of rope tied to strong cedar,
the party reached a point nearly 500
feet from the site of the old tower a
point never reached before, we believe.
Here the rope was fastened to another
cedar, and Fernando 7. Julian Jr., de-
clared his willingness to make the per.
ilous descent. He pulled off his boots
and walked down, holding on to the
rope, several hundred feet.
At the distance Of about six hundred
feet he found the first dog, and soon
had him safely landed. At a point
720 feet from the tree, on bench in
the rock wall, several feet in length and
one or two in width, he found the other
dog. This one resisted at first, but
when he reached a place where he
could walk, he went cautiously and
steadily until he got to the top. AS
soon as Mr.. Julian go mp, the dogs
fawned on him, and jumped in his lap,
and exhibited their gratitude in an I'M
mistakabfe manner. The wind was
blowing very strong at the time. Mr.,
Julian acted with perfect GOODNESS.
HIS socks were cut by friction against
the rocks, and he stopped and pulled
hem off. The dogs had worn off the
claws fromrtheil hind feet. 1t is sup
posed that they reached the spot from
which they were rescued by going
through a crevice in the rock.
