MODERN RUSSIA.

All nations feel more or less the
original impetus given them by one
great man, but probably none so much
as modern Russia 1t may almost be
said to have been the creation Of one
man-Peter the Great-and the fea-
lures he impressed upon the Russian
state are still distinctly visible. A
mass Of barbarism was transformed by
him into a powerful and active mem
Der of the family of civilized nations.
He gave to his subjects an army, a
navy and an educational system. Com
merce with foreign countries. previ-

capital to the shores of the Baltic, and
built the great city which bears his
name to be the open door to the civ

sciences and the economic theories of
the most advanced nations. Russia at
the present day is actuated by the
ideas of the great car. In its rest

to present to the public denial of the
sensational reports about the Ysuui

The principal offender in this partic-
ular Is correspondent at Casas

it is stated that 1t is over four hundred

1t is only little over three
hundred miles between Nogales and

Colonel Fenochio authorizes The
Oasis to state that the theatre of war
is confined to a small area in a remote
corner of the state of Sonora; that the
Yaquis are concentrating their forces,
the Mexican government is moving a
large number of troops, we'll armed

There are many machine shops, both
in England and on the continent, that
will supply complete plants of ma
chinery, and manufacture within their
own walls boilers, engines, shafting,
hangers, julleys, small tools, and all
sorts of machines, both large and
small. While this state of affairs may
be explained historically, it cannot be
defended as an economic principle, in
the light of modern practice. The very
opposite policy is followed by most
American makers OF machinery. Many
concerns devote themselves entirely to
one line Of machinery, and have no hes
ltation whatever in refusing orders for
anything of which they have not made
a special study. A natural segregation
has occurred in all the arts and sci
ences, and the American idea of spec
ializing in the manufacture of machine
tools is but a practical application of
this principle. European nations must
follow the same lines, if they hope to
compete.-H. F. l.. circuit, in the En-

E~ighty-eight per cent of the seeds OF

In three per cent solutions of the salts

that rye will stand stronger alkali than
will wheat, which corresponds with
u results published in Bulletin No. go.
In addition to the tests upon seed
termination quite an extensive expert
ment was conducted with alkali in pots.
Because of conditions which it was diff
fcult to control, We were not able to
draw conclusions which would be au-
Uhentic regarding the effect of these
salts upon the pIant growth, but the
effect of the salt solutions upon the
evaporation Of water from soil is of
interest. That alkali salts have an
~appreciable effect upon the character or
the soil Especially so in the case of
black alkali) was long ago pointed out
by Professor Hilgard. Everyone who
has given any attention to alkali soils
has probably noticed that they appear
damp. when adjoining lands may seem
perfectly dry. For the first ten days
there were no plants in the pots to
transpire water and change the result.
There were many irregularities in the
test, probably due to difference in the
pots themselves, but the general result
is the same. From the pots containing
no alkali H. C. C. we're evaporated each
day, while the amounts of water lost
from these pots contained 9 per cent

that We had to dispose OF 1T for fear of
