A New York Central innovation.

George Ii. Daniels, of the New York Cen.
trial L. Hudson River Railroad, has made
an announcement which is of a rather start
ling nature, but it is one which ought to
please the patrons of that great system, and
particularly those who travel on mileage
books. The circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good Tor 500 miles and
1000 mules travel, are now on sale at all
stations on the New York Central divisions
and branches) at the rate OF $40 and $40
respectively,
These tickets are good until used, and are
available tor passage on the main line of the
New York Central, and all of its branches
and divisions, including the Harlem, Put
nam, Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg,
Carthage & Adirondack, Geneva & Lyons
and the Adirondack Utica to Montreal) d.
visions.
Mileage books will be issued in the name
OF the head of family or firm, and will be
available for the use of any member of such
family or for any traveller for a firm, pro-
vided the name of such member or traveller
is written in the book by the agent selling
it, in the place designated They will be
honored for transportation by the conduct
ors of all trains, including limited trains, but
only to the end OF the run Of each conductor,
If the holder of such ticket desires to ride
beyond the run of conductor, or on night
train, or to a point on branch line, he
should present his mileage ticket to the
ticket agent, who will detach the proper
mileage and issue mileage exchange ticket,
on which baggage will be checked to any sta
ton on the New York Central or any OF its
branch lines thus avoiding the necessity OF
! being disturbed after retiring, or OF recheck'
ing baggage .-From the Pittsburgh Post,

kIinit.

A farmer has discovered product
to which the name of "alinit' is given.
1t is "a germ of the soil which causes
the nitrogen in the air to enter into
chemical combinations especially
adapted to the nourishment OF
cereals" A series of experiments
have been conducted with this prod
uct, resulting in from ten to thirty
per cent. more yield than has been
possible under ordinary treatment.
"Alinit" is, in fact, supposed to be the
bacteria of putrefaction. When de-
composing matter is placed in con-
tact with the roots of growing plants,
tiny rootlets are thrown out. These
are provided with small mouths or
suckers, which industriously set to
work to absorb the valuable material
Whoever has unearthed partly de.
| cayed wood or bone has been inter
csted in observing the enormous nun.
| Der of little rootlets that have at.
tached themselves to these bits of de.
caying material. The Office of "alinit'
is to furnish what one might cal
partly digested food for plants. Sure
~ II the rootlets can draw upon sub
| stances rich in the elements they de-
mand they will increase more rapidly
In growth and value than when raised
BY ordinary processes.-N. Y. Ledger

OUR DUTIES IN CUBA.

Annexation.

In spite of every precaution that can
be taken, the Spanish evacuation
would seem almost certain to be at
tended by somewhat dangerous con
dition of interregnum in Cuba
Throughout the greater part of the
island the Spanish authority is still
in active political operation, although
ii is now more than two weeks since
Spain signed away all her sovereign
rights there. The government a,
Madrid is absolutely without any
means of effective control over the
officials in Cuba who remain clothed
with little brief authority. Every
populous and civilized portion of the
globe is supposed to pertain to some
responsible power which holds an ac
credited place in the family of ma
tions. Since the signing of the pro
tocol Spain could not well be held ac
countable-at least, in more than q
very limited sense-for violations or
Cuban soil of the rights of foreigners;
while, on the other hand, the United
States could hardly be expected to ad
nit as yet any full degree of account
ability. Although the protocol does
not specifically make IA ccssion o.
Cuba to the United States, the logic
of the situation leads to practically
the same thing, Political sovereignt.
