latitude, and in few countries has agricul-

AGRICULTURE FosTERED.
The present Minister of Agriculture;
DIR. lgmatius Daramyi, has been at the
head Of this department for ten years;
and, being an enthusiast on the subject,
be has introduced many new features and
brought his department into. close co intact
with the people. During his administra-
ton the annual appropriations for agri-
culture nave increased from about S.
OOO, 900 to about Sl3,OOO,O 900, and the income
from his department has risen from So
600 1000 to $9,OOO,OOO, leaving the net cost TO
the State at present some &4,O0O,0OO per
year.
Hungary believes in furnishing technical
schools to those who intend to farm; she
has twenty-five industrial schools, with
about 800 pupils, and these schools are 30
distributed as to make them convenient
for the small farmers. She has four sec
ondary schools OF agriculture, with a total
attendance OF over 500, and to complete
her system she has an agricultural academy
with q student body OF $50.
In order to accommodate adults who
have not had the advantage Of these schools
she has short winter terms and travelling
instructors. By systematic effort the Agri-
cultural department il not only increasing
the efficiency OF the Hungarian a. a tiler
Of the soil, but it is increasing his general
Intelligence and raising the standard Of
citizenship.
The experiment station Is also a prom
inent feature Of the work Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. All the new agri-
cultural implements are tested and reports
are furnished upon their merits; there are
several seed testing stations, where farmers
con secure at cost price not only selected
seeds, but seeds shown by experiment to
be suited to the climate and soil OF their
locality,
I Then there are a number Of model farms
located at convenient points which are in
tended to be object lessons to the neigh
borhoods in which they are situated. At
these model farms and at other centres
breeding establishments are conducted
where horses, cattle, hogs and sheep Of the
best breeds are kept and loaned to the
farmers about. These breeding farms ave
resulted in a marked improvement In the
quality and value Of the stock

In far more subject than California il to

Frustrated San Francisco.
About ninety-five miles 10 the east OF
Valparaiso rises Aooncagua, whose top IL
the highest point in the Western world.
To the west are lesser mountains and foot
hills extending 10 the doors Of the big port.
Stretching mainly north and south from
ten to fifteen miles back Of the coast Ia q
valley, sometimes called the AconcaRua
Valley. in which, the dispatches tell us,
the centre OF the seismic disturbances was
situated. In other words this valley is
regarded thus early in Chile as the place
where occurred the breakage among the
rocks that caused the great trouble.
We shall nave 10 wait for scientific investi-
cation before this theory can be confidently
affirmed but there are some facts which
seem to support It.
In this class Of earthquakes the greatest
disturbances occurs on or near the rift line.
At San Francisco 1t happened that this
line Of breakage left the land Just north
Of the city. passed along the sea floor
Just outside Of the Golden Gate and entered
the land again eight miles south Of the
city.

King Peter, 1t will be remembered, is

oauor was assassinated. Tho brutslities
attending the murder OF King Alexander
and his wife were widely discussed at the

being thrown from the window OF the
palace into the park.
While the new sovereign was recOg nized

Some years ago the nght was made and

RECORD OF THR MAoYARs.
The Hungarian people are distinct In
language and history from all their neigh
bors. In fact, the Hungarians differ in
many respects from all the other people
Of Europe, the inhabitants OF Finland
being their nearest kinspeople.
Their early history is unknown, but they
came from western Asia, where the Mon
R%olians, the Turks and the Finn Ugrians
struggled for mastery about the beginning
OF the Christian sra. They we're first
known "a Huns and claim Attila as one
Of their race. They have more often, how
ever, used the word Magyars to describe
their people, that name being a popular
one at present.
Their occupation Of their present terri
tory dates from abou the ninth century,
since which time they have figured promi-
nently in the history OF Europe. About the
beginning OF the eleventh century Hungary,
under the leadership OF King Stephen
later known as st. Stephen-became a
Christian nation, and since that time she
has been conspicuous In all the religious
wars OF Europe.
In the fifteenth century she furnished
I the leader OF the Christian army In the
person OF JOIN Hunyadi, one Of the greatest
military geniuses Of that period. His
prominence in war brought his son Mat
thias to the throne Of Hun gary, a king who,
when warned Of a plot against his life.
exclaimed:
let no King, ruling justly and Ia wfully,
fear the poison and assassin's dagger of his
subjects

gary began to lnaugurate political reforms,

1 have gone into detail somewhat In
describing the scope Of the work under
taken by the Agricultural Department OF
Hungary because l think that we might
with advantage adopt some Of It's features.
Our national appropriation for agricultural
purposes bears a small proportion not
only to the amount OF taxes paid by the
farmer, but TO the appropriations made
for other departments.

In which her people time and again have
almost been exterminated, but she energies
from il all a strong, vigorous and militant
nation. She is now a part OF the Austro-
Hungarian Empire, and her people form the
largest homogeneous group in the empire.
When we consider the numerous wars
between Austria and Hungary, the diner
ence in race, history and language and the
dissimilarity In pohticsl training It Is not
strange that there should be a lack OF hnr-
mony between the empire as q whole n
its largest single member.
When Hungary turned TO Austria for help
against the Turks and came under the
Hapsburg line she insisted upon a recog-
milton Of her national rights and secured a
promise that her people should have con-
troll Of their own affairs. While this alliance
did not save her from the Mohammedans,
il united her destiny to that OF Austria,
but she has never surrendered her indie
pendence.
The crown OF Hungary has always been
distinct from that Of Austria, and the
Emperor Of Austro-H Hungary must visit
Budapest and receive with the crown OF
st. Stephen the title OF King OF Hungary,
Joseph H., son Of the beloved Maria Theresa,
was the first King to refuse TO receive the
crown and swear fidelity 10 the Hungarian
Constitution, and the HungaTians would
never call him their crowned King until
on his deathbed he retracted his arbitrary
measures and permitted the restoration OF
the Constitution.
WORDS FOR AMERICA.
In her struggle for liberty Hungary has
developed many patriots, among whom
Louis Kossuth Ia the best known. He and
Francis Deak We're the leaders Of the revo-
luton in is4s which resulted in the Con-
stitution Of that year.
The Constitution Of 1867 was not quite so
liberal, and these two constitutions form
the basis OF the present political division
in Hungary; all Hungarians are jealous Of
the rig hts Of their nation, but the majority
OF the members Of Parliament insist upon
the recognition Of the Constitution Of lS4S,
while the minority are content TO adhere
1 TO the Constitution OF 1867, which gives the
Emperor a larger control over the army.
The elder Kossuth lived in exile after
the revolution in lS40, and was during his
exile enthusiastically received in the United
States by Congress and by the people in
general. Kossuth's son Is o a member
Of the coalition Ministry, and at a banquet
to which l had the good fortune to be in
vited spoke feelingly OF the treatment
which his father received in the United
States and Of the high regard felt by Hun
g~arians for America and Americans.
Count Apponyi, the foremost orator OF
Hungary, also paid his respects to the
United States and likened our country to
the forwarding stations in wireless teleg-
raphy, saying that the political current
was 80 strong in our country that Its mes
saRes were carried to all the world.

Railroads of the world are con-

supply. and many plans for prolong-
ing the life of the tie or finding some
substitute are being investigated
AT least partial solution seems to
be in the use of screws, instead Of
spikes, in laying track When these
are made use Of in laying new track,
the life Of the tie is greatly pro-
longed, and apparently useless ties
may be made to do renewed service.
The part of the tie which gives way
in use is that Immediately under the
tracks, where the slight movement Of
the rail cuts into the fibers of the
wood, and where the spikes holding
the rails in. place enter the tie The
wood may be sound at all other points
but because Of its weakness where it
is desired to drive the spikes, It is
necessary to throw the log away.
