On the Culture of Ferns.

In recent lecture DR.. McFarlane, of
TIE University OF PENNSYLVANIA, gave the
following facts regarding the cul ure OF
ferns: The two types of ferns that can
be raise success lily are the hardy and
the dollhouse varieties. The toi rner are
the more difficult on account OF the hot,
dry atmosphere Of most houses. Ferns
need an occasional freez ng, and do best
when grown under the sha lie ct trees or
bushes. Much moisture must be allowed
them if they are kept in a warm room
All firm growers should first consider
the natural conditions under which the
plants grow, and try to REPRODUCE the
same in transplanting them; in the cases
of those terms that live in the rocks, etc.,
of course this is impossible
Of the hothou>e terms the following
types are best adap'e to indoor coldl-
tons: Aspenium (spletnwot) Adam,

stated that, with III exception OF the

planted Shout be mixture of one-third

Tunnel From Europe To Africa.

The state department has received a
report conveying further information as
to the proposed tunnel from Europe to
Africa under the Straits OF Gibraltar.
The information comes from George H..
Murphy, consular clerk at Magdeburg,
Germany. Mr. Berlir, the French engi
n err, who has submitted the proposal OF
he project to the e IvernmentS OF Spain
and Morocco, is said to have perfect con-
fl, ence in the feasibility OF the pl IN,
holtrg that it presents no greater OBJ
staclts than were encountered in the
bu,lting OF the tunnels OF Mont Gems,
st. Gothard and Arlberg. On the other
hand, Mr. Murphy says that the ventila
ton OF a submarine tunnel and removal
of the constan ly accommodating water
are very formidable and expensive OBJ
S acles 70 the plan. Nevertheless, Mr..
Berler believes that by secret proc S.
o his own he can grappIe with those
difficulties, and keep the cost OF the work
at figure not exceeding that required
in the enterprises at St. Gothard and
Arbere, or Sumption. By working stimuli
taneously rom both ends of the tunnel
he belle YES the datr Of completion could
be safely placed al 1907. The proposed
length Of the tunnel is twenty FIVE miles,
twenty miles OF it under the sea. Rail
way connection in Europe is planned, by
means of a line following the Spanish
coast and passing through Tarita and
Algeciras into France. In Morocco q
line wo uld be constructed from Tangler
connecting with the railway system al
Temoeu.

The Century's Accomplishment.

The century now ending has been full
of sad events, but it has also produced
more than all preceding centuries to
make human lite easier and happier.
Discovery, invention. education and
culture have at the same time multiplied
the food supply and the comforts OF life
for the masses of the people and have
developed phIlanthropic sentiment to
such an extent that the hard conditions
OF former times are largely obsolete lg-
norance, poverty, suffering and lmprison-
ment are now mitigated greatly by the
increased material prosperity OF most
civilized races a. d by the increased dis
position OF individuals and states to
share with the untort innate the proct eds
OF the increased productiveness OF labor
help by machinery.
The Iuxuries OF the rich in 1900 are the
necessities of lite for the poor in 1900.
There has been in this regard a large
amount OF progress in the century now
ending. So lar as the Happiness OF lille
depends upon material conditions it has
been greatly promo ed. Looking back
over the changes of 100 years, one can
not hut see reason to expect further de-
sirable changes in the condition OF man
kind in the century to come i Baltimore

Within the great centr Il crater there is a
