Progress in Agriculture.

The Government Agricultural De.
partment seems TO be making rapid
progress in development of scientific
methods of conducting farm opera
tions. One of these is a plan for use
Of that wonderful factor electricity to
determine the heat and moisture OF
soils, with view of estimating their
adaptability for certain products. 1t
has been ascertained that a high
temperature Of soil, under certain
conditions developes root growth,
while high temperature of the at
mosphere above the soil will, under
favorable circumstances, promote a
heavy growth of top crops and foliage.
A deficiency OF moisture, either in
air or soil, is attended with disaster to
the plant. A plan has been formu.
lated whereby the moisture of the soil
may be determined by the degree Of
resistance OF an electric current, and
a thermometer has been devised, max.
ing record likewise controlled by
the mysterious current. The warmth
OF the soil is increased by drainage
and reduction of temperature Sc
cured by dust mulch, which is re-
sistant to heat, and shade trees may
be used for the same purpose.
This line OF investigation is in its
infancy, but enough has been ascer.
tanned to show that the results may be
of magnitude that will astound hu.
mainly as much as other mighty
achievements OF the past century. 1t
is possible that within the next quar-.
ter century the explorer will, by aid Of
his divining rod, be able to determine
the exact composition and formation
OF sub-strata any depth beneath the
Earth's surface and their adaptability
for any crop he desires to cultivate.
The data Of the government surveyor
will be supplemented by exact state
ments of the geological properties and
peculiarities of each township and
section, and the settler enabled to
determine just the kind of soil desired
in establishing his homestead.
Verify we live in an age OF progress.

about 100 feet in height. A few arti-
c!es of stone and copper utensils, and
bones believed to be from human
skeletons were discovered in one Of the
larger apartments, and other evidences
we're found that, at some prehistoric
time, doubtless, the cave was used as a
habitation for man. It is the pre-
sumption OF explorers that the cave
had been closed by an earthquake, inn
prisoning its inhabitants. An en-
trance was unexpectedly disclosed by
some lime quarrymen at point 1000
feet above the Jefferson river, while
blasting the rock. The stalactite and
other natural decorations of the cave
are said to be the most beautiful and
varied ever seen. Arrangements are
being made for a thorough exploration

In dispatch to the N. Y. Herald,
dated the 11th. from Managua, Mica.

relating to the lease of the strip of
land for the isthmian canal:
The protocol signed by United
States Minister Merry and DR.. Fer
nando Sanchez, the Nicaraguan Secre-
tary of foreign affairs, grants the
United States three miles on each siIe
Of the proposed canal, the median
line being the center of the waterway.
Nicaragua will have full sovereignty
over the canal route, but the United
States will have full control of IL can
maintain a constant police vigilance
and can land troops if it is necessary.
In return the United States govern
ment guarantees the sovereignty, in.
tegrity and independence OF Nicaragua.
President Zelaya and Secretary San
chez are strong advocates OF the canal.
The entire Republic is contented over
the situation. Confidence is inspired
now that the Nicaraguan government
is dealing directly with the United
States, instead OF with speculative
companies.
President Zelaya has issued de.
cree by which the government of Mic
aragua donates about 100000 square
yards of land, in one or more lots, sit.
uated on Ometepe island, in Lake Mic
aragua, to the United States for use as
a sanitarium for the benefit of labor
ers on the canal. The United States
