NEWS OF THE WEEK SUMMARIZED.


The first monthly crop report under Hon.
Norman l. Colman, the new commissioner of
agriculture, was issued. The statistician, j. r
Dodge, says there has been a reduction in the
area OF winter wheat according to the returns
OF April, of over 10 per cent. A partial inves-
ugahon IN December made the shortage 3 per
cent This is equivalent to a reduction of 40,-
U00o,VO bushels upon the basis of the yield of
1854 A decrease in area is reported in every
state except Oregon. The decrease in Illinois
Is IL per cent; that Of Minnesota is slightly less,
but the figures are not given. The present
condition Of winter wheat as re-
ported, is worse than in 1888 1t Is II per
cent, against & per cent last year, and so per
cent IN 1883. In 1881, the year of recent ratio
OF yield, the condition April / was IS, and
serious loss was sustained afterward. The
real status of the crop will be better shown o
month hence, when the vitality Of the roots
has been demonstrated and the character of
the spring determined. On the present show
ing the reduction of yield on this years pro-
duction promises to be more than SO, 000, 600
bushels from winter killing and low vitality,
In addition TO the loss from diminished acre
age. Whether the crop will exceed 400, 000, 900
bushels or falls short of it depends upon the
reliability OF present appearances and on flu
nre conditions affecting growth and ripening.

glass window in the church. His offer
was gratefully accepted, and the vicar

This made it easy for him to run up

The projected bridgeover the straits
Of Messina is still engaging the atten-

rowest portion of the straits is two
miles across, but the depth there is
some 521 feet, while the shallowest
part, which is SOL feet deep, runs be-
tween Cape del Pezzo and Franzirrl.
Although the distance across at the
latter point is nalf a mile greater than
at the narrowest portion of the straits,
its greater shallowne3s has caused II
to be selected as the spot for the
bridge. In addition to the double row
Of rails, it is intended to have the
bridge widc enough to include 9 roa
for ordinary carriage traffic. The via
duct will be supported by two land
towers and three piers, each $3.50
feet apart; the foundation OF these
piers will be Of granite ballast up to
within seventy five feet OF the surface
Of the water, and of granite masonry
the latter being carried up to thirty

shaped piers, constructed also OF
granite, with the ordinary dry founda-
tions, and the height of the bridge

The Upper Nile railway, although
lately thrown into the shade by the
projected line from Suakim to Berber,
will undoubtedly acquire considerable
Importance whenever the British adj
vance southwark is resumed. Its
originator, the ex-khedive, Ismail
Pasha, carried it UP the river from
Wady Halfa as far as Sarras. He;e
the British took it up last summer,
and had laid down fifteen of the sixty
two miles on the Sarras Ferket section
(Which avoids the formidable Dal
rapids) when the want of material and
of native labor stopped the work Oct.
% last. Gen. Wolseley now reports
that the completion OF the remaining
fo~rty-seven miles of Ferket, and the
laying down of light tramways at
Fatmeh and Khalbar in order to avoid
the cataracts, would establish uninter-
rupted communication by rail and
water between Wady Halfa, Dongola,
and Korti at any season of the year.
He adds, however, that any project OF
a permanent and continuous railway
would involve the necessity OF various
heavy cuttings, one If not more bridge
across the Nile, and possibly several
tunnels as we'll.
