Sir Walter Hitler, who lately sue

General Gazelee during the occupation
Of Pekin by the allied forces. Sir Wal

err Of CSf1inese-was some years Chinese
secretary to the British legation at Pc
kin, and afterward consult general in
Corea. ~ -
One incident in Sir Walters Chinese
career has very seldom been touched
upon. It was he who. took the Chinese
forts of Shan ai-Kwan when garri-
soned by 5000 men and without firing, d
shot. Sir Walter and a gunboat were
dispatched from Taku to reconnoitre
the coast to the north of Peh-tang.
Going. on shore with an officer and
eighteen men, Sir Walter sent up his
card to the Chinese general with re-
quest for an interview. This was grant
ed. 1.-THE allied forces will be here, all
around the forts, Tomorrow" said Sir
Walter to the Chinese general. Are
YOU not of the opinion that much bloed-
shed would be saved by surrender, as
of course you know the forts are bound
to be taken? Nothing can save yout
1t, is really the only course to save
bloodsheds" .3s4-s. - ~
The Chinese general debated a while,
and on the question of the adyisability
of surrender being again put to him he
answered: Yes, certainly; but when
and to whom?" $3-.- :,
ITO me, and there is no time like the
present" replied Sir Walter promptly;
otherwise / shall be compelled to open
fire on the forts" 1T
The usual preliminaries were then
gone through. Sir Walter placed the
British flag over the forts, sent the gun
boat back to Taku to report, and, utfi-
izing a disused signal box at the rail-
way station as blockhouse, dotted his
sentries about, and himself turned in
for the night. w. -: ~ss= ~

Potato Blight.

/ find that the potato blight has ex-
tended over most of the county and
that the crop was very mater rally
affected in some sections. and condi-
tions are likely to be much worse dur
ing the coming season if not held in
check.
The disease can often be seen on the
potato. 1t frequently has the appear
ance of dark spots. mistaken for dirt ;
then. again, the skin of the tuber may
be very rough-sometimes quite dark
colored. After the seed is planted and
begins to grow. the fungi will at
tack the sprout. soon causing it TO de
cay and die. The stem NAV have be-
come strong enough and thrown out
roots above the attacking point of the
fungi; in that case the tops may not
die. but will probably keep green and
produce few very small potatoes. |

near the top of the ground. the tops
trees that is becoming rather serious,
and it seems to be something new.
AS yet. none of the horticultural ex-
perts have given it name. l have
found it in number of orchards; at
first it was thought to be from the
effects of seepage. but it occurs in
some orchards that are well drained.
The results of its ravages first appear
on the edge of the leaves. which turn
browh and ON which brown spots in
the center are sometime found. 1t
usually begins ON one side of the tree.
and finally the whole tree withers
and dries up.
The blight apparently attacks the
fine hairs of the root first, thus cut
ting off the supply of nutriment to
the tree. 1 am inclined to think
that the disease can be carried in the
soil through irrigating waters from
one tree to another.
