300. 900, 900 acres all told may be turned
into farms. We are devoting to cereals
half as much land as the total cultivable
area OF Siberia, to say nothing Of our vast
acreage in potatoes, hay, cotton and
tobacco. 1t is we'll known that we may in
crease our wheat and other cereal products
largely both by additional acreage and
by improved methods OF tillage. But In
Siberia the lands well adapted for grain
raising are only about an eighth OF the
whole area Of farm lands.
The Amur and East Coast provinces, for
example, are credited with 100000
acres Of cultivable lands but the summers
there are unfavorable for grain growing, on
account OF excessive moisture, and there is
little prospect that the region will ever send
wheat to Europe. because its quality is
poor No other part Of Siberia has grown
In population so rapidly as the Amur and
seacoast regions, which, however, import
most Of their breadstuffs.
Mining and manufacturing pursuits are
growing equally with agriculture, and the
thousands engaging in these pursuits must
be fed by the farming districts. The great
mining regions OF Atai Yeniseisk, Trans
baikalia and Amur are eagerly awaiting
the opening Of the main railroad and Its
branch lines to bring them Siberian bread
stuffs, just as the Kirghiz steppe and part
OF the middle Urals are already depending
wholly upon Siberian cereals. Some Of
these mining regions produce wheat. but
not enough even for the present de-
mand. The growth OF the towns and
Of their Industrial enterprises also means
larger demand upon the local sup
plies. At the present rate Of immigra-
tion there will be no tlllable land left in
twenty-five years, and the government
shows its desire to have this land turned to
the best account by restricting each farmer
to holding of forty and o half acres.
These are among the facts that have led
Russian economists and others to conclude
that Siberia will never have large surplus
OF wheat to export even as far away az
Russia. The country itself will need most
OF the wheat grown in it's comparatively
limited area Of wheat land.

the following remarks made BY Mr.. ANDREW

country. as we'll as of Europe. are doing business
without the Issue Of currency, concusively proving
that 1t h not necessary for to cling to that idea
Long before tho bonds Of the Government will bo

Of credit currency will be bugboar of the past.
Much has been said OF late about an elastic our.
rsnoy in order TO the fall crops. In the
earlier days OF my banking experience that plea had
force. but Of late has practically lost IT, In 1898
the country had bountful crops. and they were
moved with perfect ease with very little assistance
from good Eastern friends, or jar to interest
rates. We must not forget that Western banks. in
competition with Eastern. loaned $4,000 900 lately
to Montreal.

THE Sun has for years been advocating pro-
cissly the views here expressed by Mr.. FRAME.
but has. until lately. found little support for
them among bank officers. We congratulate
Mr.. FRAME upon his sclearsRhtedness. an hope
that his followers may increase.

Science Mention
and Discovery.

London Sketch: Francis Rychnowski
mechanical engineer of Len1bergs:
AustraA has discovered a strange and
very subtle matter, which he has called
"electroid," because of certain affinity
with electricity. Electroid, produced by
q special apparatus built by the in
ventor, is obtained by the dissolution OF
certain matters under the influence OF
the electric current 1t makes noise,
and at the same time a refreshing scent
and cool breeze are experienced. This
discovery induced Mr.. Rychnowski to
make machine capable of refreshing
the air to such degree that those
present during the experiment had the
Ieeling that the window was open, al
though this was not the case. Electroid
Is very subtle matter, but it seems to
be fluid, and it can be gathered and
preserved; while falling on a plate 1t
Tenects In a shape of shining sheaves
The commission appointed by the
Austrian Government to investigate
this discovery reported that, under the
influence of electroid, plants grow
rapidly, and the buds of flowers unclose
while one is looking at them. Electroid
annihilates microbes, and thus pre-
serves organic matter. These are ply
Biological influences of electroid.
Among mechanical phenomena the
commission reported that the influence
OF electroid is not stopped even by a
brick wall and glass; that it attracts
solid bodies and makes them shine ike
moonlight makes them move and at
tract other bodies; finally, that it acts
on Photographic plates and produces
sharp and distinct lines, such as were
formerly possible only with a very pow
erful lens. The conclusion Of the COM
mission was that Mr.. Rychnowskfs dis
covery will play a great part if applied
to industry, as is the case with the dis
covery Of his countryman, Jan Szcze-

Parsons Magazine: A young Swed-
ish inventor, Axel Orling, in conjunc-
ton with j. T. Armstrong of London
has discovered new way of transmit
ting motor power, not, however, by
sending electrical waves through the
air, but-and this is more wonderful
by rays of light. And the new system
enables torpedoes to be steered, al
though having no visible, material con-
nection with the steersman. A torpedo,
to be governed by the new principles is
fitted with an apparatus to receive the
ight-rays sent out from the controlling
station, and to transform them so as to
cause electrical induction, thus enabling
the operator on ship or on shore to set
the torpedo's rudder at any angle that
he desires. Moreover the rays give the
operator absolute control over the de-
tonating pistol, SO that the terpedo shall
explode when the operator decides that
the psychological moment has arrived.
The torpedo can be controlled as long
BIS it can be seen-that is to say, when
the operator is on the shore its range
is the horizon some five Or six miles

Hints on Eating.

Dinner should be of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter
Two pounds of potatoes contain as
much nutrition as thirteen pounds of
turnips.
Rapid eating is slow suicide.
Plenty of time should be taken.
Mere qualification of the appetite is
very likely to shorten life.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season of the
year in which they naturally mature.
Fish and oysters are easily digested.
An hour or two of rest should be taken
after the meal.
