CRAFT WILL BE RUN BETWEEN
HAMBURG AND LONDON

COLOGNE, Jan. 19-Count Zeppelin,
whose aerial flights in dirigible balloons
have attracted worldwide attention, Is
planning a monster airship which will be
capable of carrying 300 people and
which it is proposed to use in passen-
ger service to be used between Hamburg
and London. \ service also will be
maintained from Hamburg TO Cologne
and BadenBaden.
The craft will be 9S4 feet in length
and s. feet in diameter and will be
driven by motors. News of the enter
prise developed through visits which
Zeppelin's chief engineer. Colsmann,
made to Hamburg and to this city,
where on Monday he discussed with the
mayor of Cologne arrangements for the
construction of landing and departure
yards.
1t is planned to employ four motors in
ordinary weather, reServing the others
for use in case those in service become
overheated or get out OF order, or in the
further event of Il storm necesSitating
the development of greater power.
1t is learned that the ministry of war
has not contracted for more of Zeppe
Inns .dirigibles, but has decided to wait
upon the development of aeroplanes.

ITALIANS AND IRVING.
NJ emoriaI Presented by Ambassador
In London to Drury Lane.

Memorial Presented by Ambassador
In London to Drury Lane.
The critics were very severe-and
IN my Judgment justly severe-to-
ward the Dante Of Sardou; but the
TACT remains that Irving, at the de-
cline of his life, felt the attraction CT
the Influence of Dante's great person
allty. Irvings endeavor to
lmpersonate on the English stage that
powerful individuality turned his last
thoughts toward Italy, and today 1t is
those among her sons who are united
to him by the brotherhood of art who
offer this tribute to a man who has
so highly contributed to show to man
kind all the nobility and loftiness Of
his art
Thus spoke the Italian ambassador
in London, the Marquis of San Giulia-
no, at Drury Lane theater recently
In unwilling the memorial to the late
Sir Henry Irving presented by Signor
Tommaso Salvini and the leading
members of the dramatic profession in

In bronze, enriched by wreath Of
laurels, with background of gray
marble
The memorial has been placed on
the wall at the head of the grand
staircase. Around it yesterday were
gathered many people well known in
the dramatic world.
You English artists" said the am
bassador in the course of his speech,
have greatly assisted me in my study
of the English language. Frequenting
the theaters and seeing your acting
have learned more of the English
character, life, feelings and mode Of
thought than in reading many learned
books-which 1 have tried to forget
as much as possible"
The English artists have given elo-
Quent proofs Of their sympathy with
Italy by the homage they have paid to
Salvini, the magnificent benefit to the
memory of Ristori, and the part they
have always taken in our charitable
works. When Italy was still divided,
when it's independence and unity
were still a goal and an ideal, and to
many people even dream and a ITO
pia, Salvini and Ristori were among
the forces which contributed to our
national deliyerance.
"Salvini in 1S49 acted in Rome, and
at the same time fought in defense Of

went to the ramparts and after the
repulse of the attack resumed the
performance. Of course that evening
the curtain, after the interval, did not
rise with the scrupulous punctuality
of the English stage"

A map such as the world never
dreamed of is to be made in London
as result of a conference recently
called by the British government. Its
scale is to be roughly one to one mil
lion, or, in exact measurements, one
inch for every sixteen miles Of the
earth's surface. 1t is planned that
this map will show every detail Of the
land and waters of the world with
such mfnuteness as has never before
been possible with maps as they are
at present understood.
1t was Sir Charles Hardinge, perma-
nent under secretary OF the foreign of

the delegates who represented France,

the more widely geographical knowl-
edge IS spread, the better would the
peoples of various nations come to
know each other and the more certain
would come the dawn of an interna-
tional peace. He also explained the
commercial advantages of better geo
graphical knowledge.
In giving statistics of the proposed
map Sir Charles reminded his hearers

THE CULTIVATION OF MINT.
Useful Herb Grows in England,
Japan and United States.

Useful Herb Grows in England,
Japan and United States.
Two varieties of mint, known re-
spectively as black and white mint, are
grown in England for the production
of the essential oil, but the area under
cultivation is very limited, and it is
believed that it may not exceed 1000
acres, whilst some authorities estl-
mate that half that area would repre-
sent the total quantity that is grown
On this country.
White mint was cultivated for many
years before the black variety, which
produces nearly double the quantity
of oil, was introduced and at the pres
ent time only a small quantity Of
white mint is cultivated to supply the
demands OF a few old firms Of drug
gists Black mint, so called from its
dark green foliage, was first CONNER
cially used about forty-five years ago,
and it has now almost superseded the
other kind, which has a leaf more
lancelike and serrated and of lighter
color
hot and dry seasons. and it has not
been seen in full flower since 1898,
when the summer was hot and dry.
White mint differs in this respect; it
comes earlier and flowers every sum-
mer, and when in full bloom, land
planted with it has somewhat similar
appearance to field of lavender. The

or.
Mint is cultivated n Japan and also
I'm the United States, particularly in
Michigan. Growers in the United
States, although the quality of their
soil is inferior, by sending their pro-
duce to English markets have in some
measure undersold the home produc-
ers.
Mint is a deep rooted plant with I'M
derground stems or runners, and it can
only be grown proftably on certain
soils. 1t requires good, light, warm
soil, that which suits it best being
deep rich loan on gravel, but it will
thrive well on chalky subsoil. 1t
likes moist spring and dry, hot
summer. 1t is grown from roots, not
from seeds
AS mint plantation only lasts from
four to five years it is necessary to
form three or four beds that will come
on in succession, and this is usually
done in the following manner: In the
autumn after the crop has been cut,
trenches are dug from eight to ten feet
apart, fifteen inches deep and eighteen
inches wide. the displaced earth being
spread over the plants between the
trenches
When the plants spring up some are
transplanted to another bed, the area
under cultivation being extended, and
so on from year to year, so that at the
end of the fourth year, when the first
bed is dying out the others, which have
been made, take its place and continu-
pus succession IS obtained. If the
plants are not required for extending
the plantations, the land is plowed
with disk coulters and in the spring 1t
