SCIENTIFIC GOSSIP.

The electric light has lately been tried at
art exhibitions in Paris. and the effect upon
sculptures was uniformly pleasing.
Pine and other needle leaved trees, and

The Academy of the Lyncaci, founded at
the beginning of the Seventeenth Century,

Scholten, the st. Louis photographer, has
successfully used the electric light in print

the sun was so obscured az to seriously in

proved superior even 20 the brightest of the
suns rays.
A French electrician has devised an in

would be worse than useless.
Besides the Wholesale retariatton OF
planting through waiting for the ger
imitation of one batch OF seed, and then
perhaps being obliged to SOW another
lot, good deal of loss is occasioned by
the fact that under the present system
planters have so little confidence In
that they SOW three or four times as
much generally as is really needf1l.
The excellent practice of testing the
seed just before planting time Is made
use of In some parts of Georgia. The
quality may be very readily determine
ed by counting out 100 or 200 seed and
planting them even in a shallow box
of mellow soil, and, after watering the
box with warm water, set 1t In Q light,
warm place. In few days the seed
will germinate, when they may be
counted, and, III only seventy-five or
eighty out of the one hundred come
up, 1t will show that the quality Is
sufficiently good to justify the use only
Of q bushel to the acre on any but very
stiH clayed soil. On land OF the latter

THE TUNNEL. FROM FRANCE TO ENG
LAND.

Such has been the progress of engin-
eering science that thorough ventila-
ton, either during construction or for
the permanent submarine railway, has
not been considered by either English
or French engineers as presenting any
insuperable difficulty. MIR. Hawes,
the original protector, is even sanguipe
as to the ultimate success of this chan
mel tunnel as financial operation. 1t
is first of all proposed to make shafts
and carry preliminary driftsways on
small scale to such distance under
the sea as would decide the practica-
bility of the enterprise on II larger
scale. These preliminary works he
estimates at e160,000, and he observes
! that the estimate for the tunnel itself
| is e1O, ,0OO, 900. On this point we cam
not do better than quote the words of
1.-THE protector of the plan himself, given
in Mr.. Hawes's pamphlet:
/ stWith regard to this project, it
might be we'll to state that the cost,
which had been put at ten millions, for
the construction of the railway beneath
the channel, though it appears large
sum. really embraced about ten miles
of railway on each side. In order to
get to the tunnel the railway would
have to be commenced in the town OF
/ Dover, where a very large station
would have TO be made, and run from
point to point along the coast till it
turned down near the South F'oreland.
When it emerged on the other side OF
the French coast, several miles of rail-
way would also have to be made, to
Join it with the Northern of France
line, so as TO be able TO get to Paris and
Belgium. In fact, the capital of ter
millions would be for about thirty-ont
! miles of railway in all. That would
make the railway cost 100000 PEI
mile, about one third the cost of thu
Metropolitan railway, and about one
sixth the cost of the railway from
: Charing Cross to Cannon street ant
London Bridge, which he had himsel
constructed, SO that it was not so for
midable as it at first sight appeared"

STATE LAMBS.
IN. o. Democrat.l

During Gov. Wiltz's absence letter
was received at the State-house from
+. w. Darlington, of Monroe, La, ask
ing under what authority the register
of the State land office required appli-
cants who wished to purchase lands
from the State under the provisions OF
act No. 1O4, approved May 81, 1871, to
make settlement and cultivation before
patent can be obtained for the land.
Upon the Governors return the let
ter was submitted 10 him. An answer
was yesterday forwarded to Monroe,
in which the Governor, after acknowl-
edging the receipt of the letter, says !:
ssCaIling your attention to section
10, of act No. rs of 1880, which grants
public lands, to limited extent, for a
small price for actual settlement and
cultivation, and to the fact that many
persons have availed themselves of
this privilege without the intention to
settle or cultivate, using for the pur-
pose spurious affidavitS, made in the
name of unknown or irresponsible per-
sons, 1 would respectfully suggest that
the register of the land Office does no
more than his duty in demanding
positive evidence of the good faith of
the applicant in every case.
.The State grants these donations or
privileges of purchase at a nominal
price on the condition of actual occu-
patton in the near future. This condi-
ton ought to be regarded, and compli-
ance should be given in such a manner
as to prove,to the register that the OBJ
ject of the law is not defeated.
ssMy attention was called in Decem-
| ber, 1880, to the abuses committed un-
der the pretense of entering lands, and
on the fourteenth of that month the
following notice was issued by l.. j.
! FremauX, register !:
It having come to the knowledge
of this office that the law has been
evaded by persons obtaining patents
| for lands entered for their own use and
benefit and not for the purpose ofactua]
settlement and cultivation, under the
provisions of section 10 of act No. rs,
approved April Z, 1880, the public is
| hereby notified that from and after
this date no patent will be issued on ap.
plication for actual settlement and cul-
tivatiou without due proof to the en-.
tire satisfaction Of the register that the
entry is made in good faith and for the
purpose indicated in the law.
I GA rule adopted in accordance with
law for the protection of the State
against improper action can work nc
hardship to those who desire to avail
, themselves in good faith of these libe
raj State grants. / know no reason
why the rule should be discontinued
at this time"

DEFECTIVE COTTON SEED.
fCharleston News.l

From Southern Texas, where the
farmers have begun to think about the
new cotton season, they are already
complaining of the injury to seed
caused by the rainy fall and winter
season; and if we are not mistaken this
will be prolific source of trouble
throughout the South before a good
stand is achieved for the next crop.
Many thousands of dollars were lost
from this cause last season in middle
and south Georgia and the cotton
growing region of Florida.
AS a rule no very large amount OF
cotton seed is kept through the winter
in the cotton States, the only consider
able demand for seed, except for plant
ing, being from the cotton seed oil com
panies, and those using up most oi
what they crush in the fall and win
ter.
This year, to be sure, the oil com
panies will continue their operations
later than usual, owing to the extraor
dinary late character of the cotton sea

A stream yacht, furnished with novel
propelling power has just been COM
pIeted at New York. The inventor Is
a Canadian named Smith. He claims
that the principle of his invention VIII
revolutionize propelling powers. In
stead of screw, as In ordinary pro-
pellers, there Is a fiat blade of iron
under the rudder, at right angles to the
keel. This blade is hinged In the CEN
ter. The blade works backward aud
forward on q hollow shaft, with stroke
of three feet forward and aft. AS the
blade moves forward under the over
hang of the vessel, by means of an
inside shaft Il shuts up, and affords no
resistance to the water. When IL goes
back again it opens, and virtually
pushes the water astern. AS the engine
can work the blade with stroke OF
40 to the minute, it is calculated that
extraordinary speed will be attained.
The yacht is about thirty feet long
over all, and is provided with a patent
engine resembling the Plump engine,
with Plump cylinder. The propell-
ing blade or pusher Is three feet In
lenght and fifteen inches In width.
