Culture of Euckwheat,

| Neglect too often attends the culti-
walton of the land intended for buck
wheat, and the poorest and worst-con-
ditioned land is usually given this crop.
Besides, from the lateness of putting it
| in, the land becomes grassy, and it
cannot be plowed well without the
grass making its appearance to the det-
riment TO the crop, with no benefit "
the land. Now, instead of this treat
ment, the buckwheat field, worked
after the springs sowing, affords a
chance to improve the land and insure
a good crop-decidedly paying one if
the season is favorable. Buckwheat is
somewhat peculiar, as with favoring
season and heavy growth the income
is sometimes surprising. Ihave known
a single crop pay for the purchase of
the land at $40 per acre. The land was
plowed early enough to rot the sod,
and re-plowed just before sowing. If
put in good condition, it does not need
to be very rich. What it needs is ripe
and uniform fertility; it does not want
wet soil turned up and exposed to the
hot sun, as l have often seen, thus in
juring rather than benefitting the land
Instead, buckwheat should be made the
means Gas there is a chance for it) to
reclaim or improve the soil, 1t can be
made to equal, if not exceed, the effect
of summer fallow, and with less ex-
pense-the crop so densely shading the
ground, and from the start, that not a
weed or a grass blade can survive;
all is smothered by the exclusion
of air and light, the ground kept
comparatively moist and mellow,
and the texture thus improved.
The farmer who, therefore, does not
avail himself of advantages here offer
ed, misses his opportunity, unless he is
among the fortunate ones who have
their land all improved. Even then
buckwheat is benefit to the soil, as
there is less expense of cultivation, and
the weeds are effectually kept at bay.
1t also adds to the variety of crops.
The time for sowing buckwheat here
is from the 26th of June to the 18th of
July. Half a bushel per acre is seed
enough, as on rich ground it stools out
well. This is better than to have it
closer and denser. 1t should be branch
ing, giving thus more room for bios
SONS, and affording protection against
the direct rays of the sun, the plant
thus being in measure self-protecting,
favoriug the lower or partially hidden
seeds, which sometimes are to be de-
pended upon for the crop, the more
exposed or outside being blasted. In
stead therefore of giving it careless
treatment, buekwheat requires careful
management. The selection of soil is
also of some Importance, a sandy loan
being better than clay. A stiff clay

A Brides Fate at Niagara.

Yesterday morning Niagara Falls
was the scene of another awful catas-
| trophe, by which Mrs. A. ROLAND, of
Paris, France, lost her life by being
swept over the Horseshoe Fall. The
story, as gathered by Courier re-
porter who visited the scene is as fol-
lows: On Wednesday last Mrs. ROLAND,
i'll company with her husband, arrived
at Niagara Falls from the West and
registered at the Falls Hotel. They
only engaged rooms, and being unable
to speak English they arranged for
their meals at French restaurant at
the corner of Main and Falls street,
kept by fellow-countryman named j.
B. Roman. Here they were we'll cared
for and during the few days of their So
journ visited all the points of interest
about the Falls in company with Master
Frank Roman, who acted as guide and
interpreter.
Yesterday the twain were to have
left by the noon train for New York,
having their tickets from San Francisco
through, and upon arrival at the
Metropolis were to sail at once for
their home in France. Yesterday
morning Mrs. ROLAND expressed de-
sire to visit Goat Island and take fare
well look at the scenery from that ro-
mantle spot, as it furnished in her
opinion the most delightful outlook at
the Falls. Mr.. and Mrs. ROLAND left
their hotel shortly after nine O'Clock
and started on foot for Goat Island.
Crossing the bridge they leisurely
strolled along the path leading down
the river until Luna Island was gained,
where they spent some time in view
ing the American Fall. Continuing
their walk they stopped at the Office
OF the Cave of the Winds, and as
is the custom there, were importuned
to change their clothing and examine
the waterfall from beneath. This
they declined to do and wended their
way to the point where the Terrapin
tower formerly looked down upon the
awful depths of the Horseshoe Fall. In
due time they climbed the stairs lead
ing from this magnificent outlook and
| slowly walked up the river bank until
the Three Sisters Islands were reached.
They crossed the first bridge, stopping
in the center TO gaze upon the rushing
waters. Another halt was made upon
the second bridge and shortly after
Ward the PAIR passed over the last iron
structure and found themselves upon
the Third Sister Island. Taking up a
snug position upon huge log at the
upper end of the island they sat for a
long time and gazed in silent admira-
tion upon the scene. At last, they arose
and retraced their footsteps as far
as the first bridge when they dis
covered the zig gag steps leading down
under the trees at the right of the
bridge, looking toward the Canada
shore. Here was something as yet en-
tirely unexplored and they proceeded
at once to investigate the shady and
pleasant passage. AS they descended
the steps they met two gentlemen com
ing up and as they walked further they
also observed boy at the edge of the
water in the act Of drinking. The boy

The Cause of Thunder,

have lately seen it stated in a text
book upon electricity and magnetism
| that the phenomenon of thunder is not
| fully accounted for by any theory as
| yet brought forward. Whether this be
so or not 1 am not sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the subject to say. / believe
the commonly accepted theory is that a
vacuum is created in the path of the
electric spark, aDd that the subsequent
in.lush of the air produces the detona-
ton. If, however, it be allowed that
the electric spark is not a material sub
stance, but merely natural force or
mode of motion, the possibility of this
theory is at once disposed of. 1t is a
weA-known fact that the passage of
electricity in a high state of tension,
/ through a mixture of oxygen and
hydrogen, not only causes an explosion,
| but also causes the formation of water,
and it seems to me that, given the ex-
istence of oxygen and hydrogen in the
region of the electric disturbance, the
! phenomenon of thunder is sufficiently
accounted for. Whether the normal
amount ofhydrogen in the air is sufficient
to cause the stupendous noise of thun-
der | am not competent to Judge, but
if not, would suggest that the pres
ence of an abnormal amount might be
| accounted for by the process of the
electrolysis, which would probably oc-
cur between the two poles of the thun-
der cloud before the tension became so
great as to cause rupture of the circuit
and consequent discharge of the cleo
trio spark. | would also draw your at
tention to the fact that every thunder
clap is Immediately followed by an in
crease in the quantity of water deposit
ed in the shape of rain. Does not this
point to the formation of water by the
explosion of the gases? 1 myself
am unable, both from want of means
and time to investigate the matter. l
should be glad to find that some one
better qualified had taken the subject
in hand. 1t is a frequent experiment
of DR.. Tyndah's to show his audience
red clouds; l feel convinced that by
following this line of inquiry he could
give us real thunderstorm Mature.

A Princess Of Zanzibar.

In Berlin police court not long ago
a servant girl was accused by her mis-
tress of gross negligence and disobedi-
ence in discharge of her duties. When
the judge asked the plaintiff, a simply
but respectfully dressed lady, her name,
she proudly drew herself up and re-
piled, - am, by birth, a Princess of
Zanzibar" Her declaration, at first
discredited, proved to be perfectly true.
She was a niece of the reigning Sultan
of Zanzibar, whose displeasure she
aroused by secret alliance with Mr..
Ruele, native of Hamburg, who made
her acquaintance during his stay on the
coast of east Africa. The Princess,
who became estranged from her family
on account of her marriage with a
Christian, followed her husband to
Germany, where she had. however, the
misfortune soon to be left a widow
She attempted reconciliation with her
uncle on his visit to London, but her
endeavors signally failed, the Sultan
even refusing to receive her. On Mrs.
Ruele's return to Germany some influ-
ential friends of her late husband took
up her case and laid it before the Gov
ernment, which, owing TO her high
birth and merits, granted her q small
yearly allowance. She is now living in
Berlin and gaining her livelihood by
giving lessons in her mother tongue to
those consular officials and travellers
intent ON proceeding to East Africa.
