Dukes Plans Disclosed.

The fact that the Duke has arranged for the collection of coolies at Srinagar leaves, of course, no doubt as to tho Karakoram range being the scene of his explorations and the large .propor- tion of guides among the members of the party would show that this main object is climbing.
 Now, the western part of the Kara koran has recently been explored by the Workmans. The central part of the range, however, contains the~ high est peaks of all, grouped round the great Baltoro glacier, and, as 1t offers the most tempting ground for noun taineer of the Dukes ambitions, one may safely assume that it is here that the choice of mountains to ascend will be made.
 The Baltoro glacier was explored by Sir W. Martin Conway in 1892, when he climbed Pioneer Peak. 22.oOO feet, to its south It was revisited in 1902. to its feet by the Eckenstein-G Guillar- mon expedition, of which an account was published by Dr. Guilarmods on their successful attempt to reach K2. To judge from the photographs which have been brought back both of K2 and of other giants of the range, the formidable character of the climbing can hardly be exaggerated.
 First Place He WiII Welt.
  Duke of the Abruzzi has not yet fixed his hopes upon any particular summit. one cannot doubt that Mount Goodwin Austin, or K2 as it Is more familiarly called, is the peak which he will first recon hotter. Should nearer examination prove that it is hopeless, even for an expedition so experienced and thoroughly organized as that of the dukes, one may still be sure from his previous record that he will not return empty-handed.
 Even if he does not succeed in scaling the 2S, ,25O feet of K2, there are plenty of geographical discoveries to be made and other virgin heights to be climbed in, and especially beyond the main range.
 The region on the north of Karakoram has been little explored, and, as both the duke and his flag lieutenant, Negrotto, arc fully qualified for any typographical work, we may at least expect from them sonic valuable addition to our knowledge of the ans-Htmalayan country
 From Bombay the party will proceed by train to Raway Pindi. and then to Srinagar, where the coolies will be in readiness and the caravan formed. From Srinagar on to Iskardo would be dis tance of some 1s0 miles, owing to de- tour which will be necessary at this time of year to avoid the high-lying plateau. Another 56 miles or 50 should bring tSem to Askoiey, right in the heart of the mountains which Is within a comparative ly easy distance of the Baltoro glacier.

s*It is now about the right time to
sort out some good sound peanut seed
for planting between the corn rows
some weeks hence. Select nuts OF
inform shape, medium size, thin hull,
put in cloth sacks holding not more
than two quarts, hang up in a cool,
dry place and keep till ready to plant
Three weeks before ready take few
nuts out of each sack and plant them
experimentally to see what kind OF
a stand you may expect. II they come
up well, plant four to six nuts TO the
hill, five feet apart in the row. You
can get more vine by planting them
thicker in the hill. And you would
do still better by planting good siz-
ed patch of nuts by themselves and
not waiting till you lay by your corn.

pigs the world does not furnish the

It is conservatively estimated that such a school would start off with an enrolment of from 60 to 100 pupils, as at least one year of high school work is carried in each of Blocton's three schools. and with these schools as feeders, the success of such an institution would be assured.
