THE action of Italy in declaring that
American pork products shall hereafter
be admitted free of duty is something
of a surprise to those who have been
led to believe that the relations between
the United States and that government
have been SO strained that anything
like concession on the part of Italy
could not be made. This unexpected
action of the Italian government shows
that itretains no hostility toward this
government because of the New Or
leans affair, and desires to be on good
terms with the United States.

A FEW years ago a scientist in Japan
discovered plant the tuberous roots of
which closely resemble the common
potato. Samples of this new-found tu-
bers were sent to Paris and Berlins ex.
perimental botanists to report upon.
These reports have all been favorable.
This year several farmers in Wisconsin
and Minnesota planted largo crops of
the new potato. The scientific name
of the plant is Stachys tuberifera, the
common name, ''pine cones" having
been bestowed on account of their
form. They are cultivated in the same
manner as the common potato, and ayp
much moro prolific.

the tunnel with brick is about $75 per foot.
OF the two miles of tunnel there are only
600 feet of good tunnel rock-that is, rock
that does not have to be arched to support
it. The timber must be removed, as its
life is exhausted, and rather than put in

the stock ruined. Hart's Indian bazaar,
on the other side of the restaurant, was
also damaged. The total loss will be about
5000. This, fortunately for Victoria, is
more than the total of the FIRE loss for two
