Eastern Ticket Agents.

New YORK, Dec. 1S.-A meeting of
the eastern. passenger agents of the
transcontinental association was held
today, to consider the matter of
commissions on immigration busi-
ness. The agents all announced that
they had no existing contracts for
commissions. A discussion on the ques-
ton of abolishing commissions finally
resulted in the appointment of COM
mittee to draft plan showing how the
present erroneous commissions paid

California Fruit I'M New York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.--The Commercial
Bulletin says: The troubles before noted
with California raisins continue, with
no signs of improvement. Prunes seem
to have given more or less trouble, one
way or another, more particularly from
the cancellation of orders by retailers,
consequent upon the inability OF jobbers
to make satisfactory deliveries, owing to
backward arrivals OF contract purchases.
Other dried fruits are simply full, if ex-
ception be made to some inquiry for
peaches, at very low prices, presumably
on speculative account.

WOOD ASHES.
Their Value When Applied to Different
Kinds of Soil.

Their Value when Applied to Different
Kinds of Soil.
Leached wood ashes contain about
per cent OF phosphoric acid and IN per
cent. OF potash-two valuable fertilizers
for a number of crops-and about "a per
cent OF lime, which, when applied to
the soil, has the effect of rendering
available plant food that is already In
the soil On land that has been cropped
until at least some OF the elements OF
plant food have decreased so that full
average crops can not be made, wood
ashes are worth, says the st. Louis Re-
public, all the way from IS to 25 cents
per bushel.
They can be applied to nearly all
kinds of fruits with profit. With potas asoes
they are especially valuable, either APP
piled in the hill or scEttered broadcast
and worked we'll into the soil. Onions
are another crop that can in many cases
be largely benefited by an application of
wood ashes
II applied in the orchard, good plan
is TO stir the soil thoroughly and then
apply broadcast and work we'll in The
soil can be stirred as far out as the
ufdnCueS eXLenQs
With onions one Of the best plans OF
applying is to prepare the soil in a good
tilth ready for the seed or buttons, and
then scatter the ashes as evenly as pos-
sible over the surface. and then, with a
good rake, work well into the soil; then
mark out the rows and plant; or the
seed can be planted and then the ashes
be scattered over the surface; the nee
essary cultivation will work sufficiently
into the soil. The roots Of the onions
grow very near the surface and there is
no necessity for working the fertilizer
deep into the soil
When there Is good supply Of ashes
they can be applied broadcast for po-
tstoes. working well into the soil Very
good results can also be obtained by ap-
plying in the hill. Mark out the rows
the proper distance apart and then put
. small quantity of ashes where each
hill is 70 grow; eighteen inches apart in
the row is good distance. Stir into
the soil we'll. and then plant the seed
and cover. This places the fertilizer in
= position where 1t can be readily
reached by the roots of the plants IL
is not a good plan to have the ashes
come In direct contacs with the tubers:
hence good care should be taken to in
corporate well with TIE soil before
planting.
Ashes aid 70 make a stiff soil more
friable. and can be profitably used with
nearly all garden or truck crops.

Tight without Heat aud Other Puzzles For
the Aoicntihts.
Joseph Metzler the well-knOwn cleo
trieian, delivered an interesting lecture
before the New York Electrical Society
on "Ihe Electrical Progress Of the
Year" lie told Of the rapid acquisition
BY students Of knowledge concerning
tho electrical science and described the
reasons as attributable TO the same pas
sion as rnat OF the discoveror Of new
continents, for tho field Of electrical
discovery and applied science was prac-
tically iilimitable.
Mr. Wetalcr said, however, that the
lightn BY the electrical process now in
use would have TO give way before the
discovery of the principle OF how light
may be generated without heat, as In
the lightning-bug and the glow-worm.
''1here are men Of genius now cxperi-
menting upon this problem said the
speaker, "and the period Of its solution
is not far of. =
He said that very necessary discov-
cry was how to reduce the weight of the
storage battery so that electricity may
be used as the motive power Of great
detached machines like those Of the
ocean steamships, He mentioned a
scheme, which is now under considera-
tion, Of taking water gas, which is almost
pure hydrogen, and applying 1t in the
form of gas battery, thereby generat-
ing electricity and then distributing It
in the usual way. One of the most seri-
GUS problems of the present civilization,
tho speaker said, was what to do with
the sewage Of great cities to prevent its
breeding disease. He believed that 1T
might be treated with electricity and 50
deprived Of its obnoxious qualities.
One Of the most remarkable improve
ments upon tho practical working Of the
telegraph, the speaker continued, was
the synchronous multiplex telegraph
system, invented by Lieutenant +. O..
Patten, because it permits the sending
Of twenty-four distinctly different mes
sages at once over the same wire An-
other invention which he regarded as
extraordinary and as calculated to work
a great revolution in present locomotion
was the Weems electric railway system,
now in practice on a limited scale at
Laurel Md. On this system cars had
becn propelled at the rate Of i20 miles
an hour. The question of electrical re-
frigerating, he said, was also being con-
sidered with the greatest attention and
would soon show practical results.--N.
