THE latest addition TO agricultural imple-
ments in England is the "steam digger"
which is a combination of the plough and spade.
In the short space Of an hour, and at work.
ing cost of five shilings, it will turn over an
acre of ground, and that, too, in such way as
to produce superior cultivation. The inventor
claims that it will do as much work as 20 men
in day. 1t appears to have withstood very
exacting tests.
WE wrote fortnight ago that "it is al
lowed by those most capable of forming an
opinion, that no human effort can alter or di-
vert the course of tho lava flow," and were
sneered at for uttering too trite a truism 1t
seems now however, that there are more
| opinions than one, on that as well as on other
| subjects. The Government has sent IN Pro-
fessor Alexander and Mr.. Sterling, the SUPER
intendcnt of Public Works, experienced sur
veyors and engineers, to examine on the spot
and decide rs whether human effort can or
cannot influence the direction Of the flow, and
if it be considered practicable, then these cx-
perts will adopt any every possible means
OF leading the lava harmlessly to the sea.

ONE fruit which we believe could be raised
in these Islands with profit is tho olive. 1t

ours, and there are many localities in the

erative business in many countries, and tho
demand is greater than the supply. Tho San

at is interesting and profitable to note the pro-
gress of semtropic horticulture in other countries
besides California, and to observe that in every
case individual enterprise counts for much more
than government aid does. Whatever product is
once shown to be lucrative, attracts sufficient cap
ta to its aid, though it usually takes some time for
