A Wonderful Daisy.

A daisy has been produced in Cali
fornia that is a floral wonder. Measur-
ing more than a foot in circumference
and with three or more rows of petals
of purest white, it is as yet merely a
beautiful curiosity, but before long it
is likely to find it's way into general
cultivation. The new daisy is very
hardy, easily grown and an extremely
free bloomer. 1t has been named the
Shasta daisy, and the grower who orig
mated it, Luther Burbank, says that it
was obtained by crossing the common
American field daisy with the Japa-
nese and European kinds. The flowers
when cut remain perfectly fresh and in
good condition for two weeks or more.
1t is likely to become very popular for
decorative purposes. Boston Tran

Profitable Clover.

ten acres of clover, using as seed one
bushel, which cost me Sc: I sold from
that ten acres twenty tons of hay for
$1OOE$5 a ton-and thirty-six and a
half bushels of seed for 1892. Then l
sold the second crop Of hay for SIG.
That made the receipts from my ten
acres $3O8. The seed cost me Sc, and

were $242, almost $25 an acre"

ESTIMATES.

Nearly five months of the cot
ton year have come and gone, and
! over v mi lion bales of cotton
have been marketed 10 the extent
b It theV have '.cOme IN sight
Thus far the receipts exceed the
receipts Of tie corresponding date
of l-st year about 200 600 bales,
and ii this gain be man aimed The
cr,p will be 10, 600, coo bales.
But wi it be maintained? The
experts are still fully a million
bales apart. The bulls say the
crop will not exceed 9, 500, 600
b .les, while the bears say the out
turn will be 10, $685. 900 bales.
The percentages of .be two
sidts are simply confusing, as each
side has a good lot of such figures
on hand. No one can say what
part Of the crop has been Market
ed and what part has not, for the
January percentages vary over 10
per cent. and this variation &C
counts for the difference in esti-
mates from the opposing trade
camps.
But this much is certain-the
price should not,sbe lower even if
the crop goes 10 10, 500, 900 bales,
because stocks are not large, and
til spinners will need all the cot
ton that has been grown in order
to supply a naked world-naked
Chinamen as well as a busy peo-
pie at home. A good trade in
cotton goods seems assured here
after, and this will be apt TO hold
prices up, even If the crop outrun
the government figures.

Walking In a Watch.

A promenade inside a watch that Is

of telling the time is a pleasure in

st. Louis exhibition. It is even stated
that a small restaurant, with walters,
cooks and the ordinary paraphernalia
Of such an institution, Is to be located
inside this Monster timepiece. The
watch is already in course of construc[
ton. It's dimensions, as quoted by the
Chicago News, are. for a timepiece,
enormous, the diameter being nearly
seventy-fve feet and the height more
than forty feet.
Tiny s%taircases will be scattered
throughout the watch, and there will
be spacious galleries, where visitors
may pass and repass with ease. The
wheels will be SO well protected that
no one can suffer injury either to per-
son or clothing.
The wheel known as the balance
wheel will In this monster watch
weigh a ton, while the SO called hair
spring win be" considerably thicker
than a rolling pin. Approximately two
minutes will be consumed by the
swings back and forth Of the wheel
above mentioned. This wheel will be

Needless to say, the handspring of

Illumination of Navigab1e Waters.
A Canadian patent has been granted

Illumination of NavigabIe Waters.
A Canadian patent has been granted
for a system designed to do away with
the lighthouses, buoys and the entire
paraphernalia for night navigation be-
tween Montreal and Quebec and to
substitute a submerged electric system
which, however, will apply to all in
land navigable waters. The main idea
is to sink an electric cable in the cen
ter of the navigable channels, with
power transmitted from a power house
at Montreal and lines of colored lights
at or above the water level each side
of the channel. the lights on one side
being Of a different color from those on
the other side and supported by cork
floats.
The idea, if not exactly novel, is in
terestfng and will provide a method Of
lighting obscure channels which should
greatly simplify pilotage.
