Several Of the subscriptions for
Worlds Fair stock were from sSo.-
900 to sIoo, 900, and several hundreds
from $4,000, $4,000. The people of
Chicago subscribed as they had never
subscribed before, nearly all good and
substantial citizens contributing accor-
ding to their means, so that never
IN the history of the world was so
large a subscription made SO readily
and so promptly. - The Book of the
Fair by Hubert II. Bandcroh.
Just SO. And were all that Chicago
made out Of the Worlds Fair invest
ment revealed TO the world, we think
the world would with one accord con
clude that the Investment was rather
better than fair.

potato sets arc sent out, and each lateral
joint usually starts nearly the same
number Of tubers. Therefore the system
can be profitably applied where it is
desired to get a large yield from small
quantity of seed or where growers are
limited to short acreage.
The second illustration represents the
more general system of cultivation
among growers where the ground is
marked out three to four inches deep and
the seed covered at once with some Gov
ering direct that throws heavy ridge
over the potato after which it is left to
sprout and work its way up through
the dark, cold earth, getting whittier and
Simmer as it hears the border of the
world it has been hunting for the past
three to four weeks and usually having
but one lateral joint to send out roots
and sets. think this system could be
greatly improved if the harrow or some
mode Of levcling the ground were used
after planting, putting tho entire sur
face OH u level, as indicated at the dot
ted line L. Then when the plant ap-
pears through the ground and is ready
TO start leaf, put on an implement
that would throw back tho original dirt
as shown in Fig. 2 at f. This modus
operandi would induce the plant to add
another lateral joint and thereby very
largely increase the yield. which would
pay vol for tho labor expended.

its conclusions on observations made at

which is the deepest boring ever made
by mani, l72 feet. At such rate of

Notes.


Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions TO the general one
storied or low constructions. Some Of
these are built like square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows save at a considerable di~tance
above the ground and no outside pro-
jections by which thieves might climb
mp. These establishments are called
pawnshops, but they appeared to me
more TO resemble our banks where we
place deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. ] understand it is usual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions of
value, when rot in use, in these estab-
lishments. The people also store there
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may be obtained against the
goods stored. To have dealings with q
pawnshop is in no way considered de-
rogatory TO a Chinese gentleman's dig
nifty. FLORENCE O'Drisccii, NJ. p, in
