THE London Financier says that Cts
600 in gold was expected by the steamer
due at Southampton Sept. 1. The bulk
of this amount, together with e1OOCCO
recently arrived, would probably come
to meet the American demand. A great
deal more bullion will undoubtedly
come to America. In some quarters it
is believed that within comparatively
brief space, 100000 will be sent here.
Notwithstanding recent expressions of
opinion to the contrary, they affirm that
the shipments of bonds and iron, or any
other commodity, will be quite made
quate to settle for the time the enormous
balance which must be accommodating on
account of American food.
1T appears from letter written by
the Hon. John W. Foster, American Min
lister to Mexico, that American agricul-
tural machinery has been successfully
introduced into Mexico, and that i'm
pOrtant results are likely to follow.
Mexico has a large area of wheat lands,
but for want of proper implements and
machinery has not been able to produce
enough grain for home consumption.
Hitherto implements and machines of
American manufacture have not had a
fair trial; but, under the influence of the
new era of commercial friendliness,
plOws, cultivatOrs, drills, cOrn-planters,
and reapers have been introduced, and
have been well-received. This gives a
new impetus to Mexican agricultural
industry, and Opensh new field to Amer
lean manufacturers.

1T is reported that three-6fths of the

in favor of the denomination of Tilden.
They don't like him, but they argue that
to not nominate him will be the same as

THE President announces in recent
letter to an inquiring correspondent
that the civil service order in ref
erence to the participation of officials in
conventions and caucuses is still in
force and must be complied with.
PERHAPS San Diego county, CAL, has
the oldest voter in California, if not in
the Union. The Great Register bears
the name of Manuel Serna, who was reg
istered on Oct. "a, 1867, when his age
was said to be 80 years. That would
make him 101 years this fall.
GOVERNOR ROBINSON complexities al
fairs i'm the Democratic canvass in New
York by peremptorily declining to with
draw. He says he was persuaded to en-
ter the list against his personal wishes,
but having entered, the state convention
alone can dispose of his claim.
THE New York state Democratic con-
ventiOn will be held at Syracuse Wednes-
day of next week. The New York Star
says: SHOULD the convention nominate
any good Democrat for Governor, he will
be elected; but should Lucius Robinson
get the nomination, he will be defeated
absolutely and badly defeated. The
admirahJa addrncc of tho Tammanv
Democracy should be read by every DEM
Ocrat in the state of New York. 1t is
fortunate for the city, state and national
interests of the Democratic party that
Tammany is now controlled by men who,
in time of excitement, can put forth
such statesmanlike address, and still
more fortunate that their conduct in af-
fairs does not belle their profession"

sunshine was suddenly restored. In 1901,
on September 29th, not 2lst, as given in
some of the translations of Humboldts
"Comos," Schnurrer relates that there
was darkenipg of the sun which lasted
three hours, after which it had peculiar
color, which occasioned great alarm. In
another place we read: "Fuit eclipsis
Soils III. Kal. Octob. fere tres horas: Sol
circa meridiem dire nigrescebat;" there
was no visible eclipse at this time, and
the November eclipse was central only in
the southern parts Of the earth.
A century later, or in June, 1871, ac-
cording to Schnurrer, the sun was again
darkened, with certain attendant effects
upon nature. Here the cause is easily
found; on June 23d there was total
eclipse, in which the moons shadow
trayersed the continent of Europe from
Holland to the Crimea; the eclipse was
total in this country between the coasts
of Cumberland and Yorkshire. Erman
refers to sun-darkening on February
18th, 1106, which was accompanied by
meteors, and we read it in the cometo-
graphies that on the 4th, or, according to
others, on the 9th, of February in this
year, a star was seen from the third to
the ninth hour of the day, which was dis
tant from the sun "only foot and a
half"
Matthew Paris and Matthew of West
minister term this star comet, and we
may take it to have been the same which,
later in the same month, was observed in
China under the sign Pisces, and which,
at one time, was supposed to have been
identical with the great comet of 1850;
this body, however, would not appear to
have been sufficiently near the earth as,
even on the assumption of denser con-
stitution than usual with comets, to ac-
count for diminution of the solar rays,
by its Intervention. On the last day of
February, 1906, according to Spanish
writer, there was complete darkness for
six hours. In l241, give months after
the mongol battle Of Leignitz," the sun
was so obscured and the darkness became
so great that the stars were seen at the
ninth hour about Michaelmas. In this
case, again, the darkness referred to was
undoubtedly due to the total clipse on
October 9th, of which Prof. Schiaparelli
has collected full account from the
Italian writer's.
Lastly, in l547, from April 1926, Kep-
Ter relates on the authority of Gemma,
"the sun appeared as though suffused
with blood, and many stars were visible
at MONDAY" Schnurrer thought this
phenomenon was what the Germans call
a Hohenrauch," Notwithstanding the visi-
bility of stars.
From the above brief summary of
what have been considered abnormal
sun-darkenings, we see that in several
cases the diminution of light has been
due to the ordinary effects of total
eclipse, while it is clear that there are no
grounds in the historical evidence for
any prediction of a period of darkness.
The nervous in these matters, and it
would really appear that such exist, may
take consolation therefrom.

Historical Sun.Darkenimgs.


In 536, 567, and 62G we find mention
of long periods of diminished sunlight.
Schnurrer records that in 1888, a year after
the Saracens had been driven back be-
yond the Pyrenees, consequent on their
defeat at Tours, "the sun darkened in an
alarming manner on August 10Th; there
appeared to be no eclipse by the moon,
but rather an irruption from some mete-
oric substance" There was an eclipse of
the sun, annular, but nearly total, on the
morning of August 18th; it is mentioned
in the Saxon Chronicle, which tells us
"the suns disk was like black shield"
The near coincidence of dates suggests
in this case connection between the
darkness and the eclipse. In 934, ac-
cording to Portuguese historian, the
sun lost its ordinary light for several
months, and this is followed by the
doubtful statement that an opening in
the sky seemed to take place, with many
flashes of Lightning, and the full blaze Of

ADVANTAGES OF THE SOILING
SYSTEM.

Selling offers the opportunity to push
the growth of animals in warm weather,
when food produces far peter result
and as the animals are constantly under
the eye of the feeder, he can apportion
the allowance to the wants of each. This
system is therefore admirably adapted
to the production of meat; and it offers
the most feasible plan for the production
of meat upon the small farms of the
east. Under the present system of pas
turage, the eastern States are largely
tributary to the west for the meat con-
sumed each month. To partially COM
pensate for this, eastern farmers often
buy western steers in spring and fatten
them on pasture during the warm sea-
son but as it takes three to five acres
to feed steer through the summer, the
profit is too small to be worthy of con.
sheraton. One acre prepared for soil
ing would feed the steer much better
than four times this amount of pasture,
and on this there might be reasonable
profit. The great need on eastern farms
is manure, and feeding cattle and sheep
on the soiling system would produce a
very large amount of manure to return
to the land. This system of summer
feeding. with green ensilage for winter
feeding, would render the eastern States
wholly Independent of meat produced
beyond their borders. They could af-
ford to buy western grain for feeding
under such system; and this would
enrich their farms each year, and cause
an appropriate grain crop to be greatly
increased. This system of meat produc-
ton would soon settle the question Of
profitable farming upon all the arabic
small farms of the eastern and middle
States. France, largely following this
system, has, of horses, cattle, sheep
goats and swine, about every six arabic
acres; and, besides keeping this large
proportion of stock, raises nearly as
much wheat as the whole production o.
the United States. 1frs4E

The great importance of thorough
drainage should be understood by all.
Soil is both an air-carrier and water
carrier, and it contains great variety
of solid matters. Gases of all kinds
will find their way through the soil.
Houses act as suckers to the ground on
which they are built, because the air in
side is warmer than the external atmos-
phere, and SO sewer-gas, coal-gas and
indeed any other gaseous matter. may be
drawn from the earth below into our
habitations and take the place of pure
air. Foul air from cesspools has been
sucked into houses from a great dis
lance" In view of this fact, would ii
not be well for our farming readers to
pay little more attention to this mat.
ter. A re-perusal of the articles on
SANITARY reform" recently published
in our columns, would result, we think
in increased interest and in better at
tention to this vital matter of removing
all filth from our living places.
