It is to Dc hoped that this experiment will be so successful that the reduction will be con- tinued, and also extended proportienate- ly to all other grades of passenger fare. We understand that the Union Pacific have notified the Western railroad mana gers meeting at Chicago that their prop osition respecting pro rata per mile ticket from San Francisco 10 New York, with rebate at New York, was not accepted, and that arrangements had been made with the Pennsylvania road to carry Western passengers via St. Louis.

The commission which has re
 gently reported to the Indian
 Government on the culture O.
 the jute plant complain of the
 extreme carelessness of the culti-
 vatOrs in the selection of seed
 Greater attention to this matter
 is recommended, and also more
 careful rotation in growing the crop, and improved methods ot
 cutting and sleeping the fibre. There is a general agreement
 that it's cultivation has increased the well-being of tue Ryots,
 while the deleterious effects of the manufacture upon health are problematical.
 These fbrous plants of India,
 which can be cultivated so easily in the United States, have hither- to been comparatively useless be- cause no machinery or process has been found to decorticate them without ruinous rotting, nor no way to effect @ solution of the resinOus or gummy matter. It is a theory that is obvious, and we'll supported by the assertions of scientific botanists, manufac- turers and spinners that the fibre of all plants would be better if prepared without rotting, there by effecting great economy as we'll as improvement of quality; these difficulties will now be obviated by the recent invention of a machine to effect the desired end.
 The plant is utilized in vari- ety of ways, the tops serve as pot herbs, the leaves as manure, the stalks for wattle fences, the seed for oil cake, the root and butts for paper and the bark for fibre.
 Although India is the great source of jute supply. the plants yielding it have long been culti- vated ill China, and other parts of the East, also to a small extent in Brazil, Attempts have been made to acclimatize them on the Lower Mississippi coast, in Eng land, and in Algiers; the result in this country and Algiers are said to be qaite satisfactory as to their growth. Beugal jute has now attained such an important position in the commerce of the world that any suggestion for its improved production and intro- duction into this country merits attentiOn,- and there can be no doubt that the application to it of the process Of preparing the fibre without carrying it to the point of putre action. would ef- feet the most signal improve ment in its quality. The fitre of jute is very silky, slightly color. ed browni h, and composed almost wholly of bast cells, which are cylindrical, somewhat fiatten- ed or prismatic; the cells are 08 Al millimetres long, and 0 0I6 mjllimetres thick. The most striking pecUliarity of it's micro scOpic structure is the total lack of parallelism between the inner and outer surface of the wall. At many points the cell is much thickened, while in others It IS thin as in any vegetable silk. The same unevenness is seen In few other flores, but not Tn flax or hemp. Jute in its finest state has such a brilliancy or lustre, and takes oolors so well that 1t has been much used to mix with silk, cotton, wool, and hair, with a facility for holding dyes in these combinations. While the tow and waste is valu- able for fine paper pulp of great strength. Much has been en- ployed as a substitute for human hair. Much jute is brought into the market, in the form of jute butts, in which state 1t IS taken

by the paper makers, and fol
 making coarse goods.
 A fibre much like jute and fre-
 quently mixed with it is obtain.
 ed from "abelmoschus (hibiscus,
 petraphyllus," plant of the mal-
 low family from India. The bast
 cells are 1-1.6 millimetres long,
 and about o OO16 thick. Until
 1880 jute was practically unknown
 to Europe and America, and was
 only used in private manufac-
 lures, as the material for the
 gunny bags, in which Indian pro-
 duce was exported. The term
 gunny bagging from ''goni" a
 Madras word, was applied not only to this, bu! to coarse fabrics
 made out of sum, "crotolaria juncea." At first jute was only used for cordage and coarse bag ging, successive improvements in its treatment has made it also available for other and more prof. itable purposes; as cordage, it is too easily effected by moisture, to be considered a success.
 As it will serve for every kind of coarse textile fabrsc, it is man ufactured in a variety of forms; bright colored carpeting can be made from it and sold for 123 cents per yard, whilst carpet bed covers are produced at one-third the cost of wool. It is easily dyed, but the beautiful color it so readily takes up, are rUE'uve, ey- cept Hhen carefully execU .e1 Ii is readily brougf [ ,J g rich cream coior, either in the fore, y II, 0r cloth, but, a.-il lately, t was considered next to impossible to bring it to full white, without injuring the strength of the fibre. The chemical constituents found in the fibre are inimical to bleach ing agents as heretofore used. AS ascertained the chemical properties are hermic and cre- mic acid, tannin, and some min eral bases.
 Jute is the most important ex- port from Calcutta, after cotton, opium, and rice. The commer. cial value to the exporters of jute from India may be estimated from the amount exported in the year 1876, nearly 1,000,000,000 pounds. The United States inn ported, of manufactured goods, in whole or i'll part of jute, to the value of $1,OO,OOO,OOO in 1870. In 1928 the quantity exported from India was only 364 cwts., valued at S310. Cheap Russian flax for a time kept down the English demand, but the Crimean war led to increased requirements, and the Bengalese cultivatOrs seized the favorable moment. From 1858 to 1868 the average ex- portation was 967,724 cwts. In 1S72-73 the quantity exported was 7,0S0,512 cwts., worth e4, I42- 947. This industry has been cre- ated without government aid or encouragement. The chief point | of manufacture of jute is at Dun- dee, Scotland, where upwards of one hundred mills manufacture the fibre into various fabrics, and | give employment to oyer 20, 900 persons.
 In 1872 the quantity imported into that port direct was 1,S2S,614 cwts.; since opening the Suez canal the fibre has reached Dun- dee, been spun and woven, the goods shipped back and paid for, within six months of the date of the bill of lading. In 1872 there was 3,955, ,455 cwts. import ed into Great Britain from the East Indies, and 69,0O0 pounds from other countries. France took 14S,875 cwts. from Calcutta, and $50.

The American Association for the
advancement of Science, met at the
Institute of Technology on the 25th
ult. 1t is the Goth meeting of the AS,
ISOLATION, which thirty years ago was
organized under the laws of Mass, and
which now has membership of 1900,
among which are found all the most
noted scientists of America. AT the
opening address, the mayor Of Boston,
(F, O. Prince gave an address of well
come which was certainly pleasing to
all, and the hospitality thus extended,
together with the excursion down the
harbor rendered to the members of the
Association by the city, and which all
so much enjoyed, will be one of the
pleasing memories that the members
will all have of Boston. There have
been about $50 scientific papers pre-
sented, and accepted, for reading and
discussion, many of them of great in
terest. Richard Owen of Ind, present
ed q paper upon the formation of our
continents, that seems to be a very
valuable contribution to. geological
literature, and to account for the pres.

ton of the primitive strata of our
globe according to fixed laws which
greatly simplify geological study.
Among the remarkable inventions
brought before this meeting, Alexand-
err Graham Bell, the patentee of the
telephone, brings ont another inven-
ton called the Photophone, which
enables him to dispense with all wires,
and to transmit speech by means of a
vibratory beam of light, which may
transmit spoken words as far as light
can be flashed from reflector. 1t is
truly wonderful that word that is
spoken into a mouthpiece as you speak
into the telephone should by the vi
