Greenland.


But the truth is that Greenland,
though scarcely an eligible place of resi-
denco, has long been known to be not
fishing. but also locality by no means
unsuited to the miner, were 1t not for
Its inhospitable climate and the extreme
difficulty of approaching the east coast,
or at least the most southerly part of it.

of ice-bound shores to the south and free
water northward. In addition to these
drawbacks it may be doubted whether
even the pressure of population in civil
lied countries will soon induce MANY
Europeans to colonize Greenland. And
without European colonization the de-
velopment of such mineral wealth as il
may possess is impossible. Either the
climate OF these regions, as is certainly
the case with Iceland, has positively
grown worse during historic memory,
or the human frame has become less en-
during. or-which is more probable
the habits of advancing civilization have
made the human will less tolerant ex-
cept for purposes of sport or scientific
investigation, of the sordid discom-
forts OF an Arctic winter. We say
Arctic for convenience sake, though
In fact Greenland stretches for
hundreds of miles south of the Arctic
circle. We should be the last to deny
the value of Arctic exploration, both
as what may be called national gym
nastics and as enlarging the sphere Of
knowledge; but it may be doubted
whether any practical result of market
able value is likely to come of it now.
Baron Nordenskjold's own most famous
achievement-that voyage of the Vega
which has really opened up prospect
of trade on the north Asiatic coast
may seem to be an exception to this.
But the value of this discovery depends
on the existence of three great river
highways from the Siberian Sea, and If
the often talked-of trans-Siberian Rail-
way, which would tap and connect
these highways at their head instead Of
at their foot, be ever carried out, it may
be questioned whether there would then
be any temptation to ships to follow in
the tracks of the Vega. The Macken-
zie in America and the Plethora in
Europe by no means supply the place
of the three Siberian rivers, and such a
windfall as the fossil ivory of New ST.
IBERIA, though it might recur, can not
be counted upon. Greenland, indeed,
has the advantage over these distant
and still moro inhospitable coasts that
when its shores are once cleared the
distance to the great markets of the
Atlantic seaboard is trifling and the way
perfectly open. 1t has some trade as it
is, and 1t may probably have more,
though both geographical and political
considerations are rather against any
great development. - London Daily

Beware Of the Barberry.

let pass as true all that has been
claimed for the barberry as hedge
plant. But rs biologists have long
shown, this misch!evous shrub has one
disadvantage which would counterbal-
ance its alleged merits though they were
increased a hundredfold. BY the time
its leaves are well formed there begin
to appear upon them swellings and
whitish blotches about the size Of pin
head. which soon develop into minute
cups full of a bright yellow powder
This stage of the pest is known as the
cluster cup or @cidium stage, and this
yellow powder consists OF an almost in
finite number of minute cells, the spores.
These spores, light as dust, are waited
by the wind to the wheat, oats and
sometimes other grasses, lodging upon
which they germinate and soon produce
the elongated lines of reddish-orange
spores too familiar to farmers as the
''red rust '-pHcclata gram MS.
Though but few spores from the
barberry reach the whe field, the ''red
rust developed from them spreads with
enormous rapidity by means of the d s
persion and growth of the orange-col-
ored spores, multiplying so rapidly that
the wheat plants always have their vi
tality greatly impaired, and are fire.
quently destroyed before reaching ma
turity. In the late summer, the stubble
of iield which has been attacked bv
rust will be found TO have many
elongated lines of black spores upon it.
These two-celled spores remain on the
stubble unharmed BY the winters snow
and ice, germinate early in spring,
sending out from each cell a branched
tilament, each branch of which ends in
minute enlargement Called sporid-
ium). These sporidia, excessively
small and light. are easily broken of
and transported by the wind in any
direction. When they lodge upon the
proper plant, which in this case IS the
barbefry, they produce again the stage
with which the cycle started, the cluster
cup.
The moral is obvious. The man who
ornaments his yard with barberry
bushes, or hedges his fields with them,
is providing one of the two needful
plants for the propagation of trust,
and he need not be astonished if, during
suitable summer, his promising field
of wheat or oats is almost ruined. But
he is not only laying up rust for himself
against the day of harvest, but he forces
the same destruction upon his helpless
neighbors for miles around. We can
not control the wind nor can we prevent
the barberry spores from terminating
on the wheat, but we can cease Cor not
begin) furnishing an appropriate host
for the rust fungus. To be sure, wheat
rust is propagated from year to year by
spores which may adhere to the grains,
but there is an easy preventive for such
dissemination by soaking the grain in a
solution or blue vitriol. 1t is certainly
to be hoped that no one will be so fool
ish for himself and so inconsiderate of
his nelghbors as to plant barberry
hedges.-C. r. Barnes, Purdue U,acer-

A device to radically change the
present method of ventilating cars, both
horse and steam, has recently been in
vented. Its operation is to furnish
constant amount of fresh air and with
drawal of similar amount of vitiated
air. 1t consists of opening at the ends
of the cars at the upper corners or in
the monitor tops with covering on all
sides, having the appearance of large
tube or pipe open at the ends and also
opening into the cars, with partition
in the center. Thus the air in the first
half of the car is compelled to enter the
car, while the work of withdrawal is
done by the latter shaft openings

that time are doubled up two or three

the profit, and colonies that will not
