Much has been published within few

and by soma the fat.culture system has
been highly recommended. At one time
the arguments brought on. in its favor
were 70 clear that I experimented on the
system, and the result was q very lean
harvest OF small potatoes. | have no
doubt, however. Of the sincerity of those
who recommended that mode Of culture,
which probably has been successful under
the circumstances BY which they were
favored. But Ia farming, a in medicine,

habits and ali other psculiarities are 70

efficient remedies. So in farming, the
nature and quality Of soil. and other
conditions, must be understood In order
20 insure successful practice. When the
potato rot first appeared in this country,
thirty.6ve years ago, IL was soon dis
covered that the vines were frst attacked
on low rounds, subject to fogs. and that
the disease was worse on sti6, clammy
soils. enriched by fermenting manures.

Here was . happy variation OF results

that . Fat culture of potatoes, under

Wind LOcemOtiou on Land,

IL Is curious to note that while to the
railroads Is owing the abandonment of
the wind carriage (iormerly seen by
travellers in China, Spain and Holland J,
to the same agency it now seems likely
that its rejuvenation will be due. Wind
vehicles are already in use on the long
stretches ct tracks which extend over the
western prairies, and the speed attained
Is said TO rival that Of the fast express
train. One which has been In use on
the ksnsas Pacific railroad for the
past three years was devised by Mr..
G j. Bascom The vehicle is said TO
average a speed of thirty miles per hour,
and. with a strong breeze, TO travel at
the rate Of iorty miles in the zane
period. This last speed was reached
with the wind right abeam. A distance
of eighty-four miles has been passed
over in four hours, the car sailing part
OF this time close hauled and over disad.
vantsgeously curved track.
The vehicle has four wheels, each
thirty inches 10 diameter, is six feet in
length, and weighs six hundred pounds.
The sail has two belms, respectively
fourteen and fifteen feet in length, and
an area of about eighty-one square feet.
The mast Is eleven feet high, tapering
from four inches square at the heel to
two inches at the truck.
1t will be obvious that many of the
laws applying to the iceboat apply
equally well to the sailing car. A little
consideration will show that when the
latter is sailing at forty miles per hour
1t Is travelling faster than the wind ths,
impels it, and this is constantly the case
In iceboat sailing. On the other hand
iceboats always sail best close hauled
in tact, the sheet is almost constantly
kept fiat ait. The calling car, as stated
above, goes fastest with the wind directly
on tie beam or side. OF course thu
difference is due 10 the greater resistanc,
offered by the larger and more elevated
surfaces OF the car body and Its occu
pants, and to the friction Of the axl,
journals, which probably, under ordinar,
condition, Is sufficient to prevent tn,

s anley has created a great sensation in
London in more ways than one. His wonder
full explorations in Africa caused him to be re-
ceiyed with much enthusiasm, and repreSen-
tatiyes of England's royalty, nobility and
science gave him greeting. He appeared as
one whom all delighted to honor. And yet he
was not happy. Some of the members of the
Royal Geographical Society had condemned
what they were pleased TO consider his inhu-
mainly to the savageS in the interior of Africa
The society as whole frOwned down the So
called 'hUmanitarians" and gave the great
explorer most fiattering and brilliant recep-
ton. But the attacks of few ranked i'm
Stanley's mind and he chose TO fasten the re-
SponSibility for them on the whole society At
st. James Hall. in the presence of diStin-
guished gathering, Stanly made use of an OBJ
portunity to speak provided him by the
Royal Geographical Society to challenge
his accuserS 10 stand up and say to his
face whatever they had to bring forward
against him. OF course no one replied: the
defiance was evidently ilLtimed and inappro-
PIRATE. Again at dinner in which he was in
every sense, the guest of this same society, he
devoted his remarks to an elaborate refuta-
tion OF the charge of cruelty, seemingly re-
garding all his hearers in the light of enemies
Under the circumstances, his words were IN
just to his hosts and, it may be added. sin
against the laws of taste and propriety 1t is
natural, that Stanley should feel offended at
useless criticisms on his actions. but he should
be discreet in the time and manner of his de-
fence. America is proud of Stanley, and,
wishes him to appear to the best advantage.

the United States would be wise step. Very
well Consider over half million square
miles of our territory in the market, with its
valuable seal and salmon fisheries, its timber,
its mines, and its icebergs; not TO speak of its
genial climate. How would it do for the
Dominion to release us from the payment of
the fishery award, grant us perpetual and free
enjoyment of the fisheries, and in return re-
ceiye from us, with our blessing, the territory
of Alaska? Not that We are anxious to get rid
Of Alaska. To be sure, it is not paying in.
