berries and blackbctries no advance O;
consequence was made until he native
species were developed. It. Y. Nun.
son, of Dcnison, Texas, the worlds
greatest grape producer, has bred
forty odd accented varieties. many of
them now standards in different TO-
calitics.
An interesting example of plant i'm
provemeut is illustrated in the case of
our sea island cotton--a tropical plant
adapted to temperate climates. About
1888 seeds Of this plant were brought
from the Bahamas to Georgia. The
first year the plants were killed down,
notwithstanding a mild winter, but
they came up from the roots the fol.
lowing spring, and produced a few
seeds. The earliest of these seeds
were saved and planted each year, and
each year the ripening became earlier.
Not only were selections made to SO.
cure earliness, but also to improve the
length, sickness and strength of the
staple. Under continuous selection
it's qualitiea have been developed, un.
til now it is superior to any other cot.
ton grown anywhere in the world, and
commands the highest price. BY Sc.
lection year after year from plants
grown under the peculiar conditions
aud environment prevailing along our
coast, these excellent qualities have
become fixed.
Hybrids occurred by orossiug the up.
land and the ses island cotton have
developed varieties superior in merit
adapted to conditions farther inland.
Among these might be named the Flo.
rodosa, supaower, Aliens, Griffin 3
Blue Ribbon and others. While
great progress bas been made in the
breeding Of cotton, it is confidently
believed that the work has but little
more than begun, and that there ore
great possibilities for the development
Of the 'southern king Of plants when
there is the necessary adjustment OF
means, skill and patience for the exc.
cusion Of tho work.
The sexuc.'ity Of plants was not es.
tablished until proved experimentally
by Cameranius in 1891, and the first
hybrid Of which there is any record
was produced in 1719 ~ Fairchild, an
Engliahman, who crossed the carua-
tion and the sweet William. Thous.
snds Of bybrids Of various plants are
now produced each year, and it is
probable that within the past two or
three years more hybrids and new va
ries@:.s of plants have been produced
through design than the aggregate
numbers produced by all means in all
previous years. Aud the art is yet in
ita infancy.

John Boyle's Battle Run.

John A. Boyle, a Massachusetts,
man, took part in the civil war and
liked to tell about his experiences.
AT q meeting one evening he told
about the kezperienoe he had at the
battle Of Bull Run as follows:
II saw tho men drop their guns
aud run, so I dropped mine and ran,
too, but was chased by one Of the
enemy who had his gun In his hand.
1 ran 1.-THE fellow good race for two
miles, and then I stumbled and fell
and wac expecting him to come up and
shoot me. He didn't come up, so
looked around to ace where he was,
aud to my surprise saw him sprawled
out on the ground about two yards
from me. I got up and looked at him
and saw that he had died from opo.

next, and he replied, II weps for the

The 8alvolinus fontipalis, which IL

There Is. however, great difficulty In

but taken as q whole the difference In

PLANTATION for the difference In growth.
There ts no substantial difference In
the waters as to temperature, size,

"He told US all about the geological

the course of some 200, 900 years they
would be worn back to Ec;s, Pc, and

from the shooting Of the japanese
poachers Il Is said at the state de-
partment. This government has no
amends to make to Japan other than
those that courtesy may prompt and n
mere expression of regret that such an
incident should take place Is all that
is looked for.
Japan has no treaty obligations
which in any way require her to pro-
tect seals in the Behring sea.
After discussing the affair with Mr..
Bacon. Mr.. Niyaoka agreed that Il was
not q case to cause an international in
cident, but that It was similar to other
cases that have occurred between citl-
zens Of one country on the soil OF an
other.
The Japanese raiders were repulsed
by the agents of the lessees of the
island aud not by the United States
authorities Special Agent Lembkey
referred to in Solicitor Sims dispatch
is not connected with the government,
but is an agent of the company which
has leased the island.
