Loss Of Grain from Lodging.-Some
experiments have been carried on to
ascertain The effect Of lodging on the
development OF grain. 1t is demon
strated that when the stem OF the plant
bends to the extent of lodging, the
passing Of nutrients into the grain seed
is greatly hindered and that the loss
Is consequently very great. A test
made in Germany was on grain that
had lodged five weeks before harvest
ing. When ripe the dry weight Of 100
ears Of standing rye was 92.l grams
and OF the lodged rye 52.1 grams. The
weight Of the individual grains on the
standing and lodged parts were as 100
to 20. or course IL the grain lodges
just previous to cutting the loss will be
small, as the grain has already secured
the material laid up for 1t in the stalk.

Russian Barley.-A large number Of
samples OF Russian barley imported
into this country have been examined
by the department Of agriculture.

EDINBURGH BRANCHING OUT.
Ancient Capital OF Scotland Extending
Her Territory and Commerce.

Ancient Capital OF Scotland Extending
Her Territory and Commerce.
The proposal to extend the city of
Edinburgh SO as to embrace Leith.
Portobello and portions of the county,
which had been long time under con-
sideration, was few days ago put into
definite form in the draft of 1.-The Ed
inburgh amalgamation and extension
bill" Glasgow, in 1S91,was similarly ex
tended-the increased city being known
as "Greater Glasgow" Edinburgh has
even more need than her rival on the
Clyde for extension. The city has an
area of about ten square miles, but, T."
use the lord provost's phrase, she is
"birsting out" on all sides, and 1t is
proposed TO enlarge the boundaries so
as to more than double the present area
making it, roughly, 81 square miles.
Leith leads the way in opposing the
amalgamation, refusing to become Il
corner of great city, and maintaining
that no advantages can accrue to that
town from amalgamation. But it is Oh
vious that II would be most desirable
to have one large, powerful municipal
ty, us proposed, rather than the present
pitiful rivalry between Leith and Edi,i-
burgh, which have long been physically
united. The present division is at
tended with innumerable evils and an
noyances. For instance, at the present
boundary line between Leith and Edih-
burgh, the tramway cars have just now
to stop and exchange horses. conduc-
tors and tickets-a ridiculous rule, re
sulting in much delay, inconvenience
and occasional congestion of traffic. Yet
probably thousands of pounds will he
spent in parliament thrashing out the
whole question; and it appears likely
that Leith will oppose, tooth and nail,
absorption in her greater neighbor; her
town council speaks eloquently of en-
vious Edinburgh's attempt on Leith's
liberty. But when the nmalgamation.
so much talked of, is accomplished, her
proper place among the capitals of the
world will at last be taken by our
ancient metropolis.-St. Paul's Maya

GALLERY OF HUMAN cuRIos.

All the Races of the Earth to Be Repre-
scented in Unique Collection.
The initial steps have been taken in
an enterprise which, when completed.
will give the American Museum of Nat
ural History a collection unique of its
kind. The idea is to have model figure
representing at least one type from
every race of human beings on the
globe. Such a vast undertaking viii, OF
course, take years to consummate, and
can only be carried on by degrees.
The old Wood hall, where specimens
of American wood are now shown, will
contain the specimens. DIR. Boaz, pre-
fessor of anthropology to the museum,
has already plaster casts and measure
ments of faces, hands and feet of q
number of Indian tribes OF the North
Pacific coast, and few models of some
of the British Columbia Indians will
soon be ready. Special attention
will be paid to the aborigines of this
continent, and there are now nine mli-
scum attaches busy taking measure
ments of aboriginal tribes west of the
of the faces, hands and feet and photo
graphs of the whole figure, full face and
profile, and exhaustive measurements
will be made of the physique. With
these data to work upon plaster figure
will be cast, and then clothed in the
costume of the native represented. Tho
figures will not be shown merely stand
ing up, but groups will be designed
showing the mode of life and occupa-
ton of the different races.-N. Y

Abdul Medjid reigned from 1889 to
1861, and to him was first applied the
epithet ''the sick man." 1t was during
his reign that the famous treaty giving
Turkey control of the Dardanelles was
signed. Abdul Hamed H., the present
sultan. involved Turkey in teh war
with Russia. He is believed to possess
considerable intelligence and determin-
alton. He has been called 1.-THE man of

over so years, was one of the ablest
statesmen of the early part of the pres

Man VINO Discovered the Hale DefaIcation
Elected Chairman of selectmen of Fox
croft,

Foxcroft, March 9.-The annual town
meet ing OF the town of Foxcroft, was
heId today, but as the town has claim ed
no liability in the Hale defalcatioin, no
action. or no official notice was taken of
the defalcation. The voters, however
showed their appreciation of William z.
Oakes, the man who unearthed the
rascality of Hale and did more than any
other person to bring the defalcstion to
light, by re-electing him chairman OF
the board of selectmen and making him
committee of one to collect, classify
and file al! book and papers that can he
obtained which relate to the town
affairs of Foxcroft.
AS result of the amount raised last
year by taxes to be paid on the tow n
debt, which was not paid as the town
claims no indebtedness, a surplus is in
the town treasury and the appropriations
for the ensuing year will be taken from
that amount, instead of being raised by
taxation. Consequently taxes in Fox
croft will be exceedingly light this year.
