Utilization of Niagara Falls.

A Syndicate in the United States have
acquired a considerable area of land on the
American side OF the Niagara River, ut
some distance above the great falls. They
propose to use it for mill sites, and to sup
ply the mills with power by utilizing Il
small fraction of the water-pOwer which IS
available OH the Falls. The actual fall of
Level at Niagara is about 200 feet. Sup
pose that about 4 per cent OF the water
going over the Falls is taken, and All ettec-
tive fall of 40 feet, irrespective of losses IN
the tail race, obtained, there might DO utl-
lid 10000 horsepower. 1t is proposed
to take the water by a short la erlal canal,
to allow it to decend vertically in shafts III
which turbines will be placed, and then to
discharge it by a tunne tail race passing
beneath the present w of Niagara, at i
point below The Falls. 1t is Il part Of the
plan to transmit Il portion Of the power to
the important M nufacturing town or But
tal0, eighteen miles distant. The project
involves problems of every great complex
ty. The hydraulic motors " i'll be of Il SIZE
not hitherto constructed, and the g0vt.l-
ing conditions are different from those
commonly met with where water power Is
utilized Oh streams of variable and limited
flow. Then in the distribution of the
power further problems arise. Power can

ny have resolved to invite from GER

The above, clipped from a newspaper, has
beeu sent to us with II suggestion that We
should publish it, which we willingly do
but, with tn exception of the first sentence,
the whole thing is wrong frOm beginning to
end.
We have published in the AUjs a good
deal about the clne-SGBd discovery, and
those of our readers who nave read our eX-
tracts aud comments will know that Mr..
Morris had nothing whatever to do with
the discovery. 1t was not even made by
acting on a suggestion of his. and WAS not
made as the result of an experiment OF
anykind. 1t certainly could never have
been made by 50 rough an experiment az
'burying the fDwery heA - The remark
"that now it will be possible to import the
germ to countries where the climate suits,
but where the cAIIe is exotic is sheer non.
sense. There has never been any diff.
Guilty in introducing the hi into any
place where the climate suited it, not even
into remOte Australia, where, as every body
knows, it forms an imrOt tAnt factor in the
industry of Queensland.
From the remOteSt times the sugar cane
has been d cultivated plant, but has never,
50 far as is known, been prOpagated in
what the writer of the above calls a natural
way, neither will it aOw be SO ~prOpagated,
except at experimental stations, where the
purpose will he ~ try to raise ReO UGrIeties

tanning valuable new varieties lies the
real value of the recent ''diScovery", which

The Seed of the Sugar Cane.

1t is strange but true that till recently
bOtanlstS have been unable to discover the
seed of the sugar cane. Therefore the an.
nOuncement which has been made by Mr..
ID. Morris, the assistant director at Kew
Gardens, at the meeting of the LinnRan
Society, that he had succeeded, is hailed
with satisfaction. Before his appointment
at Kew Mr.. Morris was director of the Go
Vernment plantations in Jamaica, and Oh
his return to England he did not forget his
TavOurite pursuit. He long held the opinion
that there must be seeds from which the
cane was grown, and under his instructions
Professor Harrison, of Barbados, buried
the h0wery head of Il cane in the ground,
and much to the professors delight, after II
few days, little grasS-like plants came up.
About sixty or seventy plants were from
this idea brought to maturity, 50 thai now
it will be possible to import tho germ to
countries where the climate suits, out where
the cane is exotic. Growers look upon this
discovery as one Of immense Importance.
Before the Portuguese introduced sugar
cane cultiVailO ION into the West Indies near
~ 400 \pTrS ago, after having found it pro-
ihc in the CanalicS and Madeira, the
SaraCenS brought it from the Fast into
Sicily and even long before that event the
Chinese were we'll acquainted with it's Gull
tivatiOn. But its growth was natural, and
evidently by the dropping of the flower to
the earth or ca riage OF the germs by birds.
1t is strange indeed that so many centuries
have passed ere the finding of the seed of
the sugar cane, and the congratulations of
tIe mercantile world tre due to Professor
Harrison fnr his experiment, as also to MIR.
Morris for his theory.

CANADIAN FARCE.

Prince George of Wales did not, it
proves, pulverize a half dozen Montreal
toughs in a midnight brawl, nor see the in
terror OF Montreal police station, but he
cut a great figure at a viceregal ball given
in Quebec in his honor night before last.
The chroniclers Of the festive scene inform
US with gusto that Prince George wore the
brilliant uniform of CAPITA in in the Royal
Navy, the star and ribbon of Knight of
the Garter and a Jubilee medal! 1t must
have cheered the heart of the loyal Canucks
to gaze upon this glorious vision of half
fedged royalty. 1t appears also that the
awful question of precedence was avoided
by dispensing with the formal reception and
gtyndrille dboRReur. On former occasions
OF this sort the most painful complications
have resulted from the viceregal inability
to properly recognize the nice shades of
rank in his guests. On Thursday night he
avoided the pitfalls by recognizing nobody,
and the ball was success. How much hap
pier the Canadians would be if they were to
come in out of the royal rain, as it were, and
stand shoulder to shoulder upon the grand
plane of American citizenship, where all
men are equal, and even stars and garters
and jubilee medals do notentitle the wearer

GOOD FOR THE QUAIL.

Game Warden Hague and the quail are
on top. Judge Ewing decided the some
what famous quail case yesterday in the
birds favor. A game dealer of this city
exposed some twenty quail for sale during
the close season; MIR. Hague prosecuted him
successfully before an alderman and now
has obtained a confirmation of the verdict in
the Court of Common Pleas. 1t is now clear
subject perhaps to Supreme Court re-
vision-that the law of 1878 protects game
about as far any law can. In the case now
decided the birds had been imported from
st. Louis, and it is not certain moreover
that they had been killed after the close of
the lawful season. Judge Ewing rules that
the law makes it illegal for anyone to kill,
have in his possession or sell birds during
the close season within the limits OF this
State. The precedents cited by the Court
confirm this view. With such law and
such an energetic Warden as Mr.. Hague
quail and other game birds are sure to OBJ
tain their rights. We advise our readers it
quail invade their premises during the close
season to shoe them away instanter. A
quail killed half century ago and kept on
ice to this day, if found in your possession
between January Is and October 15 would
convict you of sundry high crimes and mis-
demeanors.

TALKIN' AND sWEARlN'.

MOST old-time residents of Mississippi have
known, or at least heard of, Judge
Thrasher, of Port Gibson, who died a number
of years ago. He was an eccentric old man.
strong in his dislikes and prejudices. and much
given TO taking revenge for real or fancied
sights and injuries. A young member of Clai-
borne county bar, named Drake, whom the
Judge secretly disliked, had brought an action
for a client, to sustain which he relied entirely
upon the testimony of the old gentleman.
Judge Thrasher," said Drake when the
cause had been called for trial and the witness
sworn, "Please go on and tell the court ana
jury what you know of this case" The Judge
complied. but had not talke d two minutes In
his peculiar drawing tone, before it became
apparent to everybody that the plaintiff had
no cause of action; indeed the testimony was
manifestlY in favor OF the defendant.

as soon as he had recovered somewhat from
his amazement, Don't you remember having a

sTLk-MAKING IN AMERICA.

A review of American progress in silk
making, which appears in this weeks num-
Der Of Hdrper'S Weekly, bears very practical
testimony TO the benefits of the protective
system as we'll as to the skill, industry and
enterprise OF American mechanics and capi-
talists. How great and rapid the progress
In silk manufacture in the United States has
been may be Judged when it is stated that a
quarter of century ago this country could
hardly be said to count silk-making among
her industries, and when the latest returns
show that silks to the value of nearly sixty
miIlions'of dollars were made here in 1889 as
compared with importations of silk valued
at but fifty millions. We have reached a
point where the native production of silk
goods exceed the importations, and even con-
servative importers of silk admit that the
next ten years will see us manufacturing
practically all the silk we need.
AS vet American looms have not sue
ceeded in producing high-priced silks, high
grade brocades, velvets or to any extent
fabrics composed of silk and cotton. There
are several reasons for this, chief among
them being the fact that the hand process of
making silk has not been established here,
and that American machinery, wonderful
as it is, cannot yet rival the handmade
looms Of the old world. Another reason is
that our operatives will not and cannot
work Tor such wages as keep the foreign OPP
erative in comfort. But the great bulk of
the manufactures OF staple fabrics, of
surahs, cheap brocades, taffeta and wash
silks, such as pongees, is passing into our
hands. American machinery in this trade,
as in most others, excels all other in the
world for swiftness, originality and labor
saving. 4 New,form of machinery for silk
making are constantly being invented in
this country, and the men and women en-
ploved in the industry, numbering to-day
over 1000, and likely to be double that
number in the next ten years. are among the
most intelligent and prosperous of American
mechanics.
For the raw material this country is still
dependent upon foreign lands, although
some silk has been produced in this State
and Califorrsia. The raising of silk worms
