Decrease in the Sugar Beet
Cultivation.

The following is translated from a notice
published under the above heading in a
Copenhagen paper, POlitiken, of 18th April,
which has been kindly placed at our dis
posal:-
1t is now beyond all doubt that there
will this year be a very considerable reduc-
ton III the area cultivated in sugar beetS
from what was cultivated last year. In
France the reduction which will take place
is estimated at from ID to 20 per cent.
A lively agitation has at the anne time
been set on foot to convince the farmers of
the necessity of giving their attention to
the production of beetS richer in sugar,
but, although it is calculated that this
agitation will not be without effect, it is
difficult for the farmers to get contracts for
delivery of heetS concluded with the factO-
ries on any reasonable conditions, and
therefore there are not a few farmers who
prefer to make contracts with the distillerS
for delivering beetS to their dlstillerieS, by
which they will obtain about "a Ore per
centn. for beetS containing Al to 8 per cent.
Of sugar. In Belgium and Holland it is
considered settled hat many factories will
not be worked at all this year, In Belgium
as in France it has proved very difficult
for the farmers to come to an understand
ILS WIFI U1c ldCUOl lCo' Liz AClICu 1
ries have offered the Belgian farmers for
beets with high sugar percentage Il much
higher price than their own factories have
offered, and as these offers have been made
over an extensive area it is presumed that
a large quantity Of beets will be sent into
France.
The production of Belgium for 1886
is estimated at 60 millions of Kilograms,
which is about 80 per cent less than last
year. In certain districts of Holland there
will not be more than so per cent. of beets
cultivated as compared with last year; in
other districts the falling off will not be so
great, but will everywhere be considerable.
1t is said that the Dutch refineries will
reduce their operations. In Austria it is
supposed that the beet cultivation in
Bohemia and Moravia will be reduced by
about 80 per cent. Hungary, it is estimat-
ed will reduce it's cultivation to at least an
equal extent. In Germany it is estimated
that the present years beet cultivation
will embrace an area about 80 per cent less
than last year. Here in Denmark there
will scarcely be any reduction in the beet
area this year. 1t may even be expected
that the newly started share factory i'll
Nyk0bing will cause an increase.

Russia and England.
PARIS, IA April.

Although warlike umours have
been again adoat to day a hopeful
tone is still generally adopted here
The rumour of the advance of Gene
raj Komaroff is attributed to be heat
ed imagination of English journalists
anxious for war. On the other hand,
reliance is placed on Lord Granville's
alleged statement to Count Minister
to the effect that the negotiations now
in course of progress between Eng
land and r lS>ia are conducted IN
such il spirit that the arbitration or
intervention of a third Power would,
he hoped, moi be necessary. The
fact is, that those who We're lately
most certain as to the eventnality OF
war seem to have been suddenly con
vinced that neither England nor Rus
sia is at the present moment prepared
to meet on the battlefield. Europe it
is ~contended, isnow a vast congIomer-
ate body all the component parts Of
which have identical interests, and
can move, if necessary, by n gene
raj impulse. England forms a princi-
pal part of this body, as well as Rus
STA, and quarrrIs between these two
nations would lead to the disarrange-
ment and confusion of the whole, to
which they belong So reasons the
ReDubZi0ue FrGncaiSe, which after
having evinced unmiStakabIe Anglo
phobist tendencies of late, is now fam
to admit thar peace is necessary to
the equilibrium of Europe. II adds:
After the signature of the Treaty of San
Stefano the last phase of the Eastern
question was regulated by common accord.
The affairs of Egypt will soon be arranged
in a similar manner. The Congo question
was peacefully and definitely settled. All
this diplomatic intervention and arrange
ment d Cami06le shows that there is a
nearly homogeneous Europe existent at the
present day. The ASiatic question, which
is now agitating the globe, may therefore
be solved without disturbing the harmony
of the whole Western world by having
recourse to the terrible a~rOitrament of
arms.
A few remarks are offered on the
Afghan question by the more impor-
tant evening papers. The Temps
merely comments briefly on the re'i-
cence which was maintained by the
Ministers in both Houses of Parlia-
ment last night. The Libert6 writes
in a similar manner, but adds that
England's honour is now engaged.
The Russians are passive, as far as
peace ELL is c CO.. ned, and cannot go
back, nor do they ask to advance.
The France, in its hatred for
Prince von Bismarck, forgets its
Anglorhebism for the nonce, and
warns England against having re
course to the Chancellor. 1t also

VIENNA, April IA.
According to all recount received
here within the last twenty four hours.
it is eminently probable that before
the end Of the month we shall hear
that Herat is occupied by General
Komaroff's troops, and that Sir Peter
Lumsden has taken refuge on Persian
territory Al al events thele is reason
to believe hat Komaroff has intimated
70 the Russian Government that he
could capture Herat with a triaing
loss within a week Of the reception OF
orders to that effect from St. Peters.
burg. Ny informant apprehends that
much has been left to the Generals
discretion, and everybody will under
stand what that must imply. Nor is
it by any means certain that what
would be represented by the Russian
Government as only the temporary
occupation of Herat would be mnde n
casns beM by Mr.. Gladstone and lIs
colleagues.
Today the Russian press has adopt
ed a new theme, and is clamouring
for til" immediate recall of Sir Peter
Lnmsden. The St. Petersburg Ved-
most is of opinion that the present
homer is propi'ious for the settlement
of the frontier difficulty, only England
must abandon her p%retensions as to the
southern boundary district being ac-
cepted as a neutral zone. But before
all, if England wishes to avoid war,
Sir Peter Lumsden must forthwith be
recalled. He is only in the right
place if England wants war al any
price. In that case Peni-deh is u
good subject for dispute, and Sir
Peter an excellent agent prODocGteur.
The Novaya Tremya says that the
s%ojourn of Sir Peter Lumsden's escort
in the vicinity of the Afghan positions
is an obstacle to the continuation Of
negotiations, and is calculated to lead
to a fresh collision. The military
organ Sect sums up its opinion thus:
Forward to Herat! Now is tho
time! y
The Neue Freie PreSse writes as
follows:
While the English Ministers in Parlia-
ment are giving vent in neatly turned
phrases to their Indignation at Russian
aggression, and the London papers are
threatening Russia with war OH the two
continents, the Russian expedition, led by
adventurous and reckless generals, is daily
and even hourly advancing towards the
goal of Russia's Asiatic policy, the much
disputed Herat. The electric wire WAS
playing between London and st. Peters
burg, and the two Cabinets were discuss
Ing the extent of territory to be submitted
to the consideration of the Boundary Com
mission, when suddenly General Komaroff
appeared like a second Alexander and
severed the Gordian Knot An entirely
new situation thuS arose.

proved of, and the loyal behaviour of

IN THE BLACK HILLS
The Wiswell Mill Tested Against One Of

r. Uren writes from Dcadwood,
Dakota, October g: ITO day l finished
test of Z tons of ore crushed by the
Wiswell to compare results with one
of the best stamp mills in this dis
trict. The stamp mill crushed Al tons
of ore which cleaned up 50 &C per ton.
From the same pile the Wiswell ma.
chine cleaned up $50 per ton. This
test created quite a sensation here"
Mr.. Cren writes from tho same
place October Is: "S,nce writing
you several tons of similar ore as the
other, from the same mine, have been
crushed in stamp mill, and yielded
only ONE-THlRD of what the Wis
we'll did.
The Wiswell mill is looked upon
here as the savior of low. grade mines;
and the ow..ers Of dozens of hitherto
unproductive mines are going to have
the ore tested"

Why Are Fishes LuminOus2

Phosphorescence is observed in a
great variety OF marine animals, but
Prof. w. c. Mcintosh remarks that
the functions of the luminosity cannot
yet be explained, the conditions un-
der which it appears being very d.
verse. The numerous views which
have heen advanced to account for the
phosphorescence itself range over a
wide area-from its production by
electricity, by continued agitation OF
the water, by putrefaction, by imbbi-
ton OF light, to its manifestation as a
vital action in the animals, or a secre-
ton of phosphorescent substance.
