MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.


Liquid fuel as a steam generator for
large steamships has had practical proof
OF its value and adaptability in the voy-
age Of the steamship Cowrie, from Bor-
neo to London, a distance of about 1000
miles. The method adopted on the Cow
RE was to atomze the crude oil at the
mouths of the furnaces by blowing it into
the fires in the form of spray by means
of steam 1ibs, and in this way a COM
plete combustion of the fuel was obtained.
A comparison was made with the old sys-
tenn Of coal fuel on this ship, with the
result that there was found to be a saw
ing of over 40 per cent. in the weight of
fuel a day. and by the reduction of work
in firing with oil fuel the complement of
hremen was reduced from Is to 6. The
space occupied by a ton of oil as COM
pared with the same weight of coal was
much less, being "a cubic feet for the for
mer to 40 cubic feet for the latter-the
coal being bituminous. There are consid-
cradle quantities of oil fuel to be found
in Borneo, and it is said to be superior
TO any yet found in Russia or the United
States.

strong hold on the markets desired.
They can then ship fruit in the latter
part of our winter and have it reach
market in early spring. This would
give a supply OF fruit to England and
the Continental countries after their
own fruit had disappeared. That the
Australians are likely to succeed is
evidenced by some experiments carried
on recently by the government of Vic
toria. Pears and peaches were boxed
for shipment and then exposed for a
certain time to the effects of hydro
cyanic acid gas. After that they were
put away and kept seven weeks to
represent shipment When taken out
of their boxes at the end of that time
both the peaches and pears were found
to be in perfect state of preservation.
We do not know the details of the ex-
pertinent or what the effect was on
the eating quality of the fruit. So far
as weNare able to learn the trial was
successful and we are likely to hear
more of it at some future time. How
ever, if it does prove a success we are
not forgetful OF the fact that hydro
cyanic acid gas can be used by other
people than the Australians

Potatoes That Rests. sc,b.

AhdN NhesiSb FChD
On careful investigation 1t has been
found that some varieties are more re-
sistant to potato scab than are others.
A report from the Vermont station
says:
Students of plant diseases are agreed
that during recent years there has been
a tendency to place too little emphasis
upon the Importance of the selection
and use of the more hardy or disease
resistant varieties of plants. Potato
growers generally recognize that there
is. a wide difference in the relative Ii
ability OF the sundry varieties to the
scab, as well as to tlights and other
diseases. But We nave had few sys-
tematic tests from which to learn the
facts more exactly. Halsted has re-
Gently tested seven varieties in respect
to liability to scab and ranks them in
the following order, beginning with the
most susceptible: a. Early Rose, (2)
Delaware, 90 June Eating, (D Queen.
(5) American Giant, go Rural Blush.
Cd Rural New Yorker, No. 2. Our
own experience at the Vermont sta
ton with some of these varieties Is in
harmony with Halsted's; thus in our
experiments in 1900 with Delaware and
Rural New Yorker the former scabbed
much worse than the latter when
grown under similar conditions.
Mr.. A. E. Nahum of Bristol, po-
tato breeder of long experience, writes
as follows in reply to an inquiry as to
his opinion upon this subject:
81 have observed that some varieties
are more susceptible than others. Such
smooth, white, thin skinned potatoes
as the Sir Walter, Uncle Sam and the
Enormous are less affected than such
varieties as State of Maine, Bristol
Beauty, Burbank, Bovee's Early, Pol

served, also, that potatoes with rough
skin are much more exempt than the
smooth skinned varieties. Last season
planted about 400 seedlings which
were from one year to five years from

myself and found that some were more
scabby than others, the rough skinned
varieties being nearly all exempt. Some
| of the smooth skin varieties in the
same row and next to the rough ones
were very scabby. In one row thai
was made up of several varieties, nine
hills of each, one variety was free
from scab while the nine hills or
either side were quite scabby. While

AS to the saving of seed corn, bull
letin of the Department of Agriculture
says: The best plan for saving corn
for seed is to go through the field be-
fore the crop is harvested and gather
the best ears from the best stalks. The
largest yields of grain are usually made
from varieties producing two ears on
each stalk, and If such variety is
desired then seed should be saved only
from stalks bearing two ears. II
variety bearing only one ear to each
stalk is preferred the ears selected for
seed should be the largest which can
be found, of nearly equal diameter
throughout, and well filed at each end.
1t is as important to take seed from
the best stalks as from the best ears.
and whatever variety may be preferred,
every ear which is selected for seed
should be taken from a stalk which in
size, habit of growth and number of
ears approaches closely to what is the
desired form for that variety. In Sc
lecting seed from the crib. as Is often
done, nothing can be known of the
character of the stalks upon which
the ears were grown, and little or no
improvement can be made in variety
by such selection, while a careful and
judicious selection in the field will
work a constant and gradual improve
ment in the crop and will make it more
nearly uniform with each succeeding
year. No one item in the growing OF
! corn is of greater Importance than the
selection of seed. After the seed has
been selected 1t should be thoroughly
dried. treated with bisulphid of carbon
to destroy insects, and then stored
where it will be kept dry and secure
from rats and mice

1t was conceded on all hands that
lobe Johnson was the best fellow that
had ever struck a spade in OF Jim's
diggings. Old Jim, himself, was a
stingy, avaricious old fellow who was
held in absolute contempt by the citi-
zens of Bear Creek. He lived a short
distance from the center of the town
that is, from the saloons and, know
ing that he was looked upon with no
little hatred, he seldom came down
from his suburban huff, indeed,
Bear Creek could boast of anything so
pretentious as suburbs. Naturally
enough the hatred for "Or Jim" him
self fell also upon the innocent heads
of the men who worked under him.
So that the village of Bear Creek and
"CP Jim's Place. as it was called,
were as two hostile cities encamped
| against each other
But as Time rolled on lobe Johnson
failed to get his share of Bear Creeks
disapproval and dislike. He was re-
garded as a good-hearted fellow of
| friendly disposition, yet with as strong
a will and as firm a courage as was
ermore. he was a worker, and spent
most of his time away from the gamb-
| ling dens and saloons-something
which the miners usually failed to do.
One day Johnson was informed that
he was the proud possessor of a son
and heir. But his boy came at dear,
dear price ; the father. The frail
mother. wearied and worn by the hard
| life to which she had not been accus-
toned and without the proper medical
