A GRAND PROJECT.

The I'D plan of Lieut.. Maury to
temper tie rigorous climate of New
foundland and Labrador has been re-
vised, and eXcites general interest.
1t IS based upon the revival. of the
plan to extend the Quebec and Mon,
treal Railway to the Straits Of Belle
Isle, and the filing of the latter BODY
.of water. Money for the purpose is
alleged to have been raised in London.
The idea of running line of rail
way along the north shore Of the St.
Lawrence to Belle Isle, to connecb
there by ferry with line Of railway
crossing Newfoundland, is not mod
ern invention. As giving the short
est possible sea voyage across the AT:
lantic, it has frequently been referred
to IN the Dominion Parliament as one
Of those projects which must follow
in the line Of march OF civilization.
The plan, too, of constructing dam
across the Straits does not appear to
have been original with the present
promoters, as Lieut.. Maury laid a
similar proposal before the British
government over thirty years ago.
The Straits Of Belle Isle are open to
the northeast, thus receiving the di-
rect flow Of the polar current down at
Baffin's Bay. This icy stream, at
from two to four miles an hour, pour
its way into the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
overcoming by its greater density the
warm gulf stream from the Southern
ATTITUDES. The cold stream, he says,
divides into two branches near Cape,
one running westward up
the Gulf and the southeastward, dis.
charging into the ocean again between
Newfoundland and Cape Breton.
This branch then sweeps along the
eastern coast of Nova Scotia and
shoulders off the warm water further
out to sea, which would otherwise
find its way along the shores of the
continent and into the Gulf. If,
therefore, the polar current could be
and DETECTED eastward of
Newfoundland into the open ocean,
the climate effect, by the exchange OF
cold and warm water, would be very
marked in the Gulf and adjacent
states.

A DOG THAT PRINTS A PAPER
[Columbia Post.1

Printing presses are usually run in
this country by steam power, by water
power, electric motors, and by main
strength and awkwardness; but the
machine that grinds out the Plain
City Dealer is run by dog power. A
large wheel about ten feet in diameter
and about two feet in width is con-
nected with the drive wheel of the
press by means of a belt. Cleats are
placed about a foot apart on the inside
of the wheel, where 'Joe" the jour
nalistic dog, walks his weary round
and thus causes the wheel to revolve.
Joe has run the press for about five
years, and has faithfully earned his
hash every week. 1t is now about
time for him to die and go where
good dogs always go, and the proprie-
tor of the Dealer is casting around
for another canine. Part of Joe is
shepherd and the rest is common
everyday dog.

PRoPAGATIEG COTTON SEED.

A New York Hcr2'd special from
Charleston, S c., Nov. +, says:
\ South c rolina farmer, Mr.. The,
odore Fergu q, Of Spartansburg, ha.
made q disco1ery Tat will have al
oifect upon the agricultural interests
of the South that none can vet fore
tell. He has produced plant that
yields cotton seed in great abundance,
but without a sign Of lint. His pro-
cess has been tested, and has been
found satisfactory. 1t has been ma
nipulated by the deterioration Of the
amount OF lint TO the multiplication
Of the seeds. This has been accom-
plished by the gradual, careful and
critical breeding Of the plont. The
results obtained by Mr.. Ferguson have
been through scientific breeding.
There are male and female cotton
plants, the male being designated, he
thinks, by the red stalks.
Mr. Ferguson commenced some time
ago to pick out the male plants, and
with the seed extracted from them
planted another patch separately.
When this crop was ready for picking
the male plants were again selected,
and their production of seeds planted
separately again. This process of Sc
lecting male plants was kept until at
last the lint refuses to germmate, and
nothing is left in the bolls save large
amount Of seeds. The amount Of
seed contained in the boil is more
than equal to the weight of the lint
and the seed found in the average
sized boil of cotton.
Mr.. Ferguson believes that he can
produce 400 bushels Of seed to the
acre by this new discovery where only
thirty-ive bushels are now gathered
with the lint. He has been very
careful, i'll producing the results given
above, to obliterate all vestiges of
lint from a boil of cotton and has
succeeded in most remarkable man.
ner.
The boil OR pod Of this new plant
has the appearance, both on the exte-
rior and i'll the interior, Of regular
boil of cotton after the lint has been
picked out. The seed is little larger
than the common seed and is perfect
" free from any semblage of lint.
The bolls are filled with this seed,
which is as numerous as okra seed in
a pod of okra. 1t is also valuable
point in this new discovery that the
bolls grow in greater profusion than
usual on cotton.
The hull of the seed contains full
amount of substance exactly similar
to that found in cotton seed now used
in the oil mills. 1t is thought that
this new staple will pan out in such a
manner by iudicious cultivation that
to a great degree the pres
ent king. If it is cultivated by the
agriculturists in the near future who
can tell the benefit that will arise
therefrom? 1t will supply the demands
for the oil mills and enrich the far
mers. 1t will, if Mr.. Ferguson's cal
culations are correct, yield to the
planter $50 where he how makes only
that one acre of cotton
viii yield $50. The $50 will be OBJ
tanned from 400 bushels of cotton
seed at 20 cents per bushel, that being
the present price paid for the raw
seed.
