New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1895-04-17

The Senate at Albany yesterday passed the
Raines Ballot Reform bill by the emphatic vote
of % TO 3, but without making any change In it.
There was strong disposition in the minds OF
a number Of Republicans to expunee the pro-
vision permitting iliterate voters to take friends
with them into the ballot booths No question
exists in any intelligent mind that this way lies
the opportunity for fraud and for destroying the
essential feature Of ballot reform. The Senators
felt. however, that any amendment would delay
the passage Of the measure, and SO 1t went
through with the understanding. our correspond

There are four General Sessions judges at pres
ent, and only three parts Of the court. How can
anybody think that fifth judge is needed? The
idea is preposterous 1t is simply another scheme
to bleed the taxpayers. Governor Morton has
spoken emphatically against useless offices. We
cannot believe 1t possible that he will approve
this bill II 1t gets through the Legislature.

The Aldermen's Finance Committee has exam
ined the recent message Of Mayor Strong con-
corning the financial jugglery by which Tam
many was ake to give the city low tax rate,
and has reached the conclusion that there Is moth
ing in the facts disclosed which is likely to affect
the citys credit or interfere with the future sale
of bonds That is all right so far as 1t goes. But
no one imagnes that Mayor Strong desired or
designed to injure our municipal credit. His OBJ
ject was to show the actual financial condition
of New-York, and he accomplished II beyond a
doubt. There Is not likely TO be any more finan-
cal jugglery.

a considerable export trade is built up, after the

A QUEENS BATH.
How the Queer Royal Custom Is Observed
in madagascar.


How the Queer Royal Custom Is Observed
in Madagascar.
Since the great African island has
lately caused great deal of talk it
will not be uninteresting, says London
Tid-Bits, to give some account of the
strange ceremony practiced at the
Malagasy national festival every year,
as related by nearly all the travellers
who.have visited the land Of the Hovas.
The ''Fandroana," or royal bath, was
first instituted by King Ratambo, and
is held annually, by royal proclama-
ton, from November % to January 10.
During this time no business is allowed
to proceed. The people of the king
dom meet the queen in the silver
palace on the first day of the festival,
and red cock is then brought by the
head priest or sacrifcer of the court.
It's neck is wrung, and its blood, being
caught in banana leaf, is carried to
the sovereign, who touches with it her
forehead, neck, stomach, armpit,
finger nails and toe nails. The rest of
the assembly follow the example.
Next day the people assemble again
for the royal bath in the great palace.
This the queen takes in one of the
sacred corners of the hall, in a silver
bath, being screened from view by
''lambag,' held by her attendants.
Amid the firing of cannon and the
joyous shouts of her humble subjects,
her majesty then passes along the
balcony, and from horn in her hand
sprinkles the crowd with the water
she has just been using for her
additions, exclaiming at the same
time: ''Masina, aho!7 q am purified.
This sprinkling is said to typify an
abundance of rain during the coming
year.
To be absent from the ceremony
would be to incur the royal displeasure,
SO that the French plenipotentiary
minister himself, NJ. lie Myre de Vilers,
who is now again on his way to NADIA
gascar, had to submit himself, in 1886,
to this strange ordeal. Every wife,
also, must be with her husband at the
time, or it is considered that she is as
good as divorced. The new year is
then supposed to have begun, and for
several weeks there is a great deal of
visiting and feasting.

A residence Of eight years in Corea,
says Seoul correspondent in the New
York Sun, has given me the opportuni-
ty of studying the character and dispo-
sition of this and neighboring peoples
which comparatively few strangers
have had. The characteristic which is
most marked in the Coreans is their
patience. We hear of their turbulence,
their uprisings in one section or
another, the lawless outbreaks of the
mobs, but most people fail to examine
the causes of these disturbances. Here
is an illustration:
A governor is appointed to the south
ern province of Kiung Sang. He has
paid twenty million cash for the office.
That twenty million cash means about
eighteen thousand dollars. Now, if
you take into consideration the rela-
tive cost of living in Corea and America
YOU will find that eighteen thousand

peared in the form of small ex-
crescences, drew nitrogen from the
air, and so caused the enrichment.
When this had once been settled
it became matter of Importance to
foster, and, if possible, hasten the
growth of the disease in the fields
sown with leguminousae, and extern
sive experiments have been made in
France and Germany with this object.
Fields have been literally ''vaccinated"
by sprinkling over them soil in which
tuberculous crops have been grown, or
even water in which they have been
soaked. In 1890 tract of old peaty
land was sown with clover, and vac
cinated with about one and half tons
to the acre of an old clover field.
Scarcely any other manure at all was
used. A more convincing experiment
still was performed in Prussia, where
large field was sown with lupins and
divided, one part being treated in the
ordinary fashion, the other inoculated
from an old lupin crop. The yield in
the latter part was five and a half times
as great as that under the normal
treatment. A remarkable point in
these operations is that each variety of
the leguminousae has it's characteristic
microbe, and that it is no use inoculat-
ing field of clover, for instance, with
lucerne, or of lupin with clover.

and Germany.
One of the strangest things in recent
science has to do with the VAGINA
ton" of land. Everyone knows, says
the Philadelphia Press, that it enriches,
instead of impoverishes, afeld to plant
it with leguminous crop, such as
clover or lucerne, the roots of which
have a power of absorbing and retain
ing more nitrogen than they take from
the ground. But where the nitrogen
comes from is another matter. The
air suggested itself at once when peo-
pie began to study the problem; and
Messrs. Lawes and Gilbert, among
others, spent many months in fruitless
endeavors to trace the source to the
air, coming at last to a negative con-
clusion. The discovery was eventually
made by Herren Hellriegel and Will
farth, of Germany, that the ABSORB
ton was due to minute organisms IA
sort of disease) in the roots, which,
when the supply of nitrogen
in the soil began to fail, ap-
