Farming In Newfoundland.

There il an impression in the public
mind that the soil OF Newfoundland il bar
rem and unproductive, and the stories sent
abroad about destitution there prevailing
do not tend TO remove that impression. Ii
would seem from the exhibition OF the
agricultural society just held in st. Johns
thatsomething can be raised there besides
fish. The correspondent OF tho Montreal
Gazette says:
This exhibition was by far the best we
have yet had. There were $50 entries for
product, and 30i for stock. The show of
live stock, especially horses, was decidedly
good. Some very fine dairy cows were
shown, also good specimens Of ycarbngs
and heifers. Sheep were not up To the
mark. Tho display OF poultry was very
fine, especially Of Dorkings and Plymouth
Rocks. Ducks, geese and turkeys were
also excellent
"The specimens Of the various root crops
exhibited were quite superior, and would
compare favorable with those produced in
any other country. There were cabbagcs
weighing each from thirty 10 forty pounds;
turnips, twenty Of which filed barrel,
and splendid beets, carrots and parsnips.
The sample Of potatoes could not bo sur.
passed. Inc display OF butter, cheese,
cream, ETC., was also very good. Then
there was a varied assortment OF women's
work, such as patched and knitted quilts,
knitted socks, hooked hearth rugs and
door mats Ii any persons were doubtful
IN regard 10 the agricultural capabilities Of
Newfoundland, this exhibition was quite
sufficient TO set such doubts at rest. The
samples OF wheat, barley and oats showed,
too, what could be done in grain crops.
"The Hon. Justice Pinsent, president Of
the exhibition, stated that though the area
OF land under cutivation is but 50. 900 acres,
the quantity OF hay produced is $1,000
tons, value 100000; potatoes. 100000 bar.
rrls, value $500 900; butter. $50 900 pounds,
value $50, 900; turnips and Other root crops,
$50, 600 more; in all s94O, 900 annual value
Of products. Total value Of land under
cultivation, s., $4,000. The facts speak
for themselves"

that America possesses and has long possessed

An Event OF Great Importance 70 the
Scientific World.

"The eclipse Of the moon that occurs tonight Is
rather an important event in astronomy" said
Prot Paul. Of the Naval Observatory, to q STAR re-
porter this morning. II don't mean, Of course,
that 1t is an uncommon event, but that owing to
certain preparations that have been made. and
certain objects that are in view, It will probably
be productive of valuable results Prof. Otto
Struve, brother of the Russian minister here and
director Of the imperial observatory at Pulkowa,
has been busy for q long time past making prepar-
ations for the event, and II we have good luck we
shall undoubtedly be able to obtain very correct
calculation OF the 'semi-diameter,' or the real size
OF the moon. Let me explain: When the moon is
the presence of the stars that happen to be near
by Is made visible. These are called occulta-
tons Now, Struve has been getting up
maps showing the occultattons that are
probable at this time and calculated to suit the
location OF nearly every observatory In the world
His object is to obtain great many observations
OF the occultations from all quarters OF the globe,
ana thereby get very nearly accurate calculation
OF the moons parallax, which means its angle OF
observation above the center OF the earth. From
from that the true size. We shall probably be
unable to DO very complete work on this eclipse,
ror the nrst portion OF tt occurs 80 near the hor
zon that the observations will be cl0uded. But
we shall work all OF the Instruments at the obser-
vatory, and unless IL becomes very much colder
