A French journal recommends a
fire test for determining the quail
ty of seeds. Samples are placed one
at a time upon live Goals. If the
combustion is slow and quiet, it
may be safely decided that the
seed contained a diseased germ ;
but if the seed turns and leaps
about, producing a dry sound, it
may be inferred to have good ger
minative qualities. The good quail
ity of larger seeds, such as acorns
and chestnuts, will be indicated by
a detonation Of the seed soon after
being thrown into the fire.

CAST ON A DESOLATE
ISLAND.
The SuRerings for Fifteen Months Of the Ship
wrecked Crew Of Whaler on Heard's
Ialand.

John Esmond, second officer Of
the whaling bark Trinity, of Ne"
London, the crew of which were
recently taken off Heard's island
in the South Indian ocean, aftera
sojourn Of fifteen months, tells a
story that vies with that of Rob.
inson Crusoe. The bark Trinity,
Captain John Williams, left New
London in Jnne, 1880, with a
crew of sixteen hands. At Cape
de Verde islands nineteen Portu-
guese negroes were shipped. 'on
September A. said Esmond, we
arrived at the uninhabited island
of desolation and landed three
months provisions. On Septem-
Der %, we sailed toward Heard's
island, and arrived there October
2. II is the custom of whalers to
call at Heard's island to kill sea
elephants. The island is 280 miles
southeast of Kerguelen's Land.

ing down to the water. We land
ed two white men and two negroes
with provisions enough for three
months and left them to kill sea
elephants, and the bark then pro-
ceeded round toward the southeast
end of the island where it was
proposed to land another party.
The sea, however, was too high,
and no boats could be landed. She
lay at anchor here till October
16, when at midnight heavy
storm burst upon her, and at 10:40
o'clock on the 17th the ship
grounded about fifty yards from
the beach. From this day, Octo.
ber II, 1880, until the rescue, on
January %, 1882, the seamen
lived on this uninhabited island
without any communication with
the outer world. All of the crew
got ashore safe and sound except
seven negroes, who were frost
bitten. We hauled ashore also
about two months provisions
On the first night of their So

ards, formed their chief susie.

A controversy arises as to where
dots should end and be replaced
by spots. Great spots an inch in
diameter are fashionable on dress
goods, ribbons, kerchiefs, etc., but
because circular in form have been
called dots. Such name is indig-
nantly repudiated by persons of
exact thought but they fail to
draw a line and tell us jnst where
we stand, ifperchance, we should
have invested in a dotted or
spotted dress. I leave you, there
fore, dear readers, to decide for
yourselves, remarking only that

Poverty of Peru.

The Peruvian situation is practically
this: The republic has recognized debt
Of $3.50, OO0, 900 and a paper currency in
circulation amounting to $35, 200, 900, MAX
ing total of $285, 0OO.O 900. It has mixed
population, composed very largely of In
dams, numbering in all a little over $500,
600, most Of whom are poor and ignorant.
And on the top of this recognized debt, Of
over hundreds Of dollars to every inhab-
liant, is now laid the heavy war indemnity
TO Chilli. It is easy to calculate the chances
which the Peruvian company, with com
structed claim Of $500, 900, 900, and the
Landreau claimants suit for 1926, 900, 600,
have of securing very large amount Of
whatever assets Peru may possess.

From the Spectator Sept. 81
The general drift of the intelligence from
Egypt is not, in all respects, favourable.
The public, conscious that there is a hitch
somewhere, but confident in the Army and
its General, awaits the next movement
patiently; but is talking with gravity of
the increasing magnitude of the Expedi-
ton, which grows as we warned the Gov
eminent it would grow, of the " unexpect-
ed difficulties of the campaign" and even
of the possibility of ga long war" Much
of this is as yet premature, and probably
il-founded croaking. The Egyptians,
though far from wanting in courage, have
little energy and no experience; their adj
vantage in numbers is only apparent, as
Sir Garnet Wolseley's force will soon out
number their trained soldiers; and their
leader is not a man of original capacity,
or, it would seem probable, of much
enterprise, Arab cannot be a coward, or
he would never have attained his influence
with his soldiers, but he is no Hyder Ali.
