70 ROTANY A SUITABLE STUDY
FOR YOUNG MBN9
from the Spiss Cross

An idea seems to exist in the mlndS OF
some young men that botany is not a man
Nv study; that it is merely one OF the 0rUa'
mental branches, suitable enough for
vouur ladies and effeminate youths, but
not adapted for able.bodied and vigorous
Drained Young men who wish to make the
best use Of their powers, | wish to SHOW
that this idea is wholly untOunded, hut
that, on TIE contrary, botany ought to be
ranked as one of the most useful and most
manly of studies, and an important, II not
an indispensable, part OF a well'roundtd
education. In support Of tins view, these
four good and COgent reasons can De all
duced:
!. The study of botany is an admirable
mental discipline. Any education is dc
fective which includes no training III the
scientific method of study thaC IL III de
yeloping the powers Of careful, minute
observation and comparison IN some de-
partment Of nature. By this means ~
acquired the habit Of investigation, or the
seeking-Out Of natures mysteries by the
use of ones own senses, instead OF trust
ing wholly to the observations OF others.
The method Of study may be learned
through any branch OF science; but botany
presents this advantage, that 1t can be
pursued Win 1888 ItlCbuN ltNISS RHH ~
expenSe than any other. The mental tram.
ing which botany affords is very thorough.
The details of plant structure are infinite,
and essential peculiarities are often so hid
den as to be recognized only by the most mi
mite Investigation. This involves the use
of the microscope, which every educated
man ought to understand, since it reveals
to the eve a newly discovered and wonder
fnl wOrld.-a world of which our grand
fathers had but the ~taintest g%limpses, but
which is scarcely inferior in interest to hat
larger world which the unaided eye can
see. After this training OF the powers OF
perception and comparison, comes the
process of generalization, whereby the laws
Of vegetable life are determined from the
study of plant forms and modes OF growth.
Thus is acquired the habit OF lnductlve
reasoning, or the supporting of every gene
raj proposition upon IL solid foundation OF
positive, indiSputable fact.
Learning the names of plants ls but the
beginning of the study of botany. IL Is
like learning the names of our companions
or schoolmateS before we become really
acquainted with them. After we have
learned to tell plants apart and to call
them by name, we have presented Tor
study such problems as the laws govern
ing their distribution, the relation between
the forae of different continents, ana cue
relation Of variety to species, when lhGlO'
duceS the subject of Darwinlsm. me
study of botany also includes the fossil
plants, and, by enabling us to trace tne
vegetable kingdom from it's first appear
ance upon the earth through all the vary
ing conditions of the geologic ages, opens
those tremendous scientific questions as TO

cost of $4,000. The California
hydraulic system will be adopted by
this Company, and the capacity OF
the machinery is estimated at about
1000 yards a day. The prospects
of this mine are the brightest, and
the property gives every promise Of
becoming very valuable.
DR.. Magin also informed US of a
mining discovery in the district of
Salado, between Buenaventura and
Cali, near Papagayeros. The dis
covery was made by a Colombian,
by name Enrique Polo, and consists
in about twenty large veins contain
ing free gold, some silver and copper.
Dr.. Magin examined these veins and
found them of such richness that he
determined 10 take hold of the affair,
and is now on his way to New York
to interest capital TO develop them.
He estimates their value very high
and considers Polo has done u grent
service to Colombia, for which he de-
serves compensation at the hands of
the Government.
Dr.. Magin also brings the news
that IA steamer has been put on the
Cauca River, having already made
four trips from Cali TO Carthage
distance of 100 miles. This steamer
was taken in sections into The interior
to Cali ON muleback, and has now
been running satisfactorily for tw"
months. She is owned by Dali ca
pitalist<, and was built by Y"rrows
Brothers, England. The Company
intends putting u smaller one on the
trade, in order to continue the traffic
up to Santander, where the present
boat is unable to go on account Of
her siz". Running north from Cab
TO Carthage, this steamer makes it's
most important stops mt Buga, a town
of about 10000 inhabitants, and
TuIda, with a population of about
1000 souls. She brings hides and
carao and other produce from tho
interior, and distributes, on her re-
turn trips, the imported mannfac-
turned articles that are carried 10
Cali from the small seaport town OF
Bupnaventura on mnlrback in q two
days journey. DR.. Magin estimates
Cali "a healthy and beautiful city,
with a climate, being 1000 feet "a
bove the level Of the sen, admirably
favorable for foreigners. It's p"pu-
larion is about 10000.
These interesting items abundant
ly show what progress is being made
in the interior Of this Republic. Its
vast mineral are merely on
the threshold of development. how
ever, despite the wise and liberal po-
Icy long pursued by the Government
to foster the great industry on the
part of native or foreign capital with
out distinction. The mines Of Co
lombia can indeed be compared to
the best in the world. There pro
ductiveneSs may be gathered from
the fact that they have been. little
worked even from the time of the
conquerors. We doubt not, there
fore, that the eff>rts of DR.. Magin to

The Siberian Pacific railroad has not
yet been commenced, and already new
Siberian railway Is projected. 1t will be
called after the river Obi. Its connection
with the bed Of that stream and with q
suitable port to the west of Walgatz
island will open double new road to ST.
IBERIA by land and by water. 1t is pro-
posed to "circumvent" the mouth of tho
river Obi, the peninsula Of Yalmal, and
the Kara sea, which are difficult of access,
owing to the masses of drifting ice. The
new route will only be 400 versts long,
taking northwesterly direction from tho
mouth of the river Obi to the Walgatz
sea, in bay of which harbor is to be
built. The site chosen for this harbor Is
sheltered from the wind by the Pae Choi
mountains.
The country being level and well stud
ded with forests, the construction of the
line will offer little difficulty. The entire
cost, including the harbor, Is estimated
at 20, 900, 600 rubles. Under existing con-
ditions the transport of merchandise to
Barnaul, via Tlumen, Perm and st. Pc
tersburg to London takes three months,
whereas by the new line two months
will be saved. Western Siberia produces
annually 80,000,0 900 Russian poods Of
wheat. The opening of the Obi line will
materially increase commercial inter
course with the west, and be the means
of supplying the European market with
wheat at considerably lower price than
that produced at home.-Paris Cor Lon.
