MOHAMMEDANlSM IN MEXICO.

Arrangements for the Purchase of Land
for u Colony About ConpIctcd.
Mohammed Webb, whose scheme of
lslomic propaganda has been going 4
little slow lately, is now negotiating
for large tract of land in the state of
Chlapas, Mexico. 1t is his intention to
plant here colony of the followers of
the prophet gathered from India and
Arabia, ard give, aS it were, prac-
tical illustration of Mohammcdanism.
The land for which he is ncgo-
tiating, through Walter B. Murray,
is situated about three hundred miles
south of the City of Mexico and fifty
miles south OF the now completed
Tehuantcpcc railroad. 1t is about three
days travel up the Grihalvn river from
the port of Frantera on the gulf of
Mexico. 1t is q part of concession
from tho Mexican government, and
said to be very fertile and capable of
producing nearly all the fruits of the
tropics and some of those of the tenn
peratc zones.
Webb, whose residence in the Philip
pine islands, where he was United
States consul and where he was also
converted to Mohammcdanism, seems
to have given him liking for warm
countries, claims to have thousands of
Moslem colouists ready to como to this
country for the propagation of the
faith wherever suitable site for q
colony shall be secured. These colon
lists, he claims, will be sclf-supporting
f2rnilie9, and tho general expenses of
tic colony will be borne by scmc rich
MohaIaracdan merchants of Calcutta
whom Webb has enlisted in his scheme
OF cvangclizing. tho New World. The
colonists will be brought in specially
chartered steamer.

Sprouting Seed Potatoes.

It is believed that nothing is gained in
earliness or rigor by keeping seed pota-
toes in temperature where the eyes will
develop materially before planting time:
certainly not in a temperature where
long sprouts will grow, mating the tu-
bers together SO that they must be pulled
apart when the season for planting ar
rives. The object in storing away in Gel
lars is to Keep the potatoes in an accessi-
bic place and in as natural condition as
possible without their freezing. A push
ing out of sprouts that would be broken
or rubbed off in the handling must nee
essarily occasion check in the growth
Of tubers when planted and should be
guarded against as far as possible. At
the same time, adds the agricultural edi-
tor of the New York World-as potatoes
are now so generally planted in cut pieces
it may be useful to expose the.whole
tubers to the light and warmth for few
days sufficiently long to indicate the
strong eyes as guide in cutting the
uieceS,

The director of the GYPSY Moth com
mission reports that during December he
had an average Of nearly thirty men at
work hunting for the eggs in the outly-
ing towns of the territory where they
were found last year. In some other
towns they found small new colonies, but
have not found any where they were
found last spring, thus proving the pos
sibility of DISCRIMINATING them with con-
