DEVELOPMENT OF THE SUDAN.
Railway and Commercial Enterprise
in the Heart of Africa.

Before the departure recently Tor the
Sudan, Sir Reginald Wingate discussed
in an interview with d Pail Mall Ga
zette representative. the development
of that country and is quoted as say
ing. in part:
Year by year the country is being
opened up by railways and the COM
mereial and strategical Importance OF
the Sudan are increasing proportion
ately. We may claim, | think, thas
construction of our railways has been
pecially by tile fact that the revenues
earned show not inconsiderable pro-
fit.
How much have we expended upon
railways In the budget you VIII see
that in 1912 We expended 81, 450, 600 I'M
der the heading of department OF ser
vices as against S4,779.0e0 in 1911 the
increased expenditure which occurs is
distributed over different departments.

vision of further railway lines or 10
improvements in the existing ones anu
for new steamers.
The advantages derived by the as
ricultural interests by providing THESE
quick and cheap means of transport
are incalculable. This became apparent
when the government was flrst dp-
preached by Il British syndicate some
two or three years ago with a view u

teachers; but we do claim, that it will
have a tendency to that end
We are glad to observe, that the
star of hope has already appeared
above the horizon, that the increased
interest in educa tional matters in the
State of Maine, stimulated during the
past few years through the results of
progressive legislation, has partially
checked that tremendous expectation
of teachers, which we have so serious
ly and sadly deplored. And the pass
ing Of this bill viii be one more step
in the right direction; one more
means toward an end which We
should all seek to attain; namely.
/ that of maintaining a school system
| in the State of Maine. which shall
owe no apology to the school systems
! of any of our sister states.

the passing of a pension bill is, that
We believe that it will increase the
| capacity of the teachers for efficient
| service by insuring them against
want. | trust that we will agree
that if there is one office more thar
another divinely appointed, and te
which men are divinely called, il is
the office of the teacher The duties
and responsibilities which the nature
of his office place upon him have {
peculiar significance.

Washington, Apr. ga paper by
Richard Olney, former secretary Of
state, was read at the meeting of the
American Society of International
Law today. The paper had reference
to the Panama canal tolls, ,Nand Olney
asserted that the United States has
right to administer the canal as
she sees fit.
ut is clear the paper said, that
nation or state does not convey its
property or sovereignty except by
terms that are clear and susceptible
to no other meaning. Where the
meaning can be taken to favor the
United States. it is clear that the
right of the United States to urge 1t
should be held. The words, all ma
tions, do not mean that they include
the United States. However. 1t is not
necessary to rely upon this presump-
tion, as the United States is the own

Paris. Apr. 26.-French opinion is
waking up to the fact that Germany.
in the sphere of military aeronautics,
is leaving France badly in the rear
General LacroiX and a number of
other eminent strategists unite in de-
claring that France has nothing to
show against Germany's aerial cruis-
ers but fleet of penny steamers. .
and they strongly deprecate the atti-
trde taken generally in France to-
wards dirigibles. They think the
sudden development OF aeroplanes
caused an entirely unwarranted en-
thusiasm for those machines and a
corresponding disparagement of dir
igibies. General Iacroix helds that
the opposition to rigid dirigibles in
France is quite wrong; the supple
type of airship favored by the French
military authorities is, from.the mil
itary point of view. exceedingly
risky, a pin prick sufficing to! de-
stroy them. Airships of the German
rigid type, with their several COM
partments, are capable of withstand
ing considerable damage before be-
ing put absolutely out of action.

WIRELESS COMPASS"
NEW INVENTION, HELPS

! ASSOClItCu IFtSS-
Paris. Apr. 26.-Ships that feel
their way along tho coasts OF France
in foggy weather are to have the
benefit OF a new wireless compass
which win enable them to ascertain.
practically automatically, their cor
Iect position, and to steer safe
course
The wireless Compass" permits
the detection Of the direction from
which a wireless electric signal is
sent, and the signal itself will desig-
nate the point OF its origin. Sending
stations are to be established at the
lighthouses and other points of van
tage along the coast, and two already
are in operation ON small Islands off
the harbor of Brest. Signals from
this chain of shore points Will be
sent automatically at regular inter-
walls whenever fog prevails, and a
vessel equipped with the receiving
compass will be able to read the
exact direction OF the place OF origin
of these warnings On the receipt of
two such signals a ship will find it
possible, BY a simple process Of tri-
angulation, very readily to determine
her exact position.
A great. advantage of this system
of safety at sea is the fact that the
new compass is very cheap; fur
thermore, it is self operating and
does not require the attention of an
operator. The next step will be to
install two more sending stations
near Havre, and others will be set up
in due course until the entire coast
is protected.

Denmark Prince to
Learn Farming
Touring the US.
Associated Press.


Copenhagen, Apr. 26-There is
good reason to believe that Prince
Erick, cousin of King George of Eng
land and King Christian of Denmark,
will complete his farming education
by tour of the agricultural districts
CT the United States. For several
years the prince has been at work on
his farm on FiCnia island, with in
tervals spent at agricultural colleges.
Next summer he will 20 to England
to study agricultural conditions
there, and afterwards he will sail for
America.
III this young prince considers that
he should go to the United States to
learn agriculture, il is also apparent
that the American authorities are
convinced that Danish agricultural
institutions have much to commend
them, for only last week a special
government commission arrived here
from Washington, and has already
started to study the rural schools, ag
ricultural schools and cooperative
agricultural societies of Denmark.
The members of the commission are
II. w. Foght, bureau of education,

Friend. state supervisor of high
schools of West Virginia, and W. H..
Smith, rural school Inspector of Mis-
sissippi.
The commission will remain for
three months in Denmark. and on its
return make report ON the facilities
for agricultural education in a coun-
try where the science has been devel-
oped more extensively than in any
other country in the world. Just at
present the American visitors are in

Total cost of harvesting 1S4 .
So we find the cost of box of
peaches produced under the above
conditions to be 80 cents.
Another estimate, including the
cost of supplies for harvesting, cash
paid out for labor during the year,
overhead charges, etc., makes the
cost to us II cents per box in actual
money out. Whatever we get above
II cents a box can be counted as
payment for our work on that part
of our place devoted to peaches.
The increase of value of the apple
and pear trees not yet in bearing
and the growth in productiveness
of the peaches during the year will
balance the charge for interest on
the investment and leave some
thing to apply on the wages account
in the final reckoning. A. G. H.

HANDLING MANURE.

Best Results Are Secured by Hauling
Fresh to the Fields.
This Is from Wisconsin bulletin No.
221, on getting the most profit from
farm manure:
"It is best to haul manure when
fresh and spread it on reasonably level
fields. There Is no loss by fermenta-
ton. as the plant food sinks into the
ground where 1t is needed. There are
several systems of storing manure, all
Of which involve moisture and conn
pactness.
ut requires two tons of fresh manure
to make one ton of rotted manure.
This involves much waste.
1.-THE average per year of mixed farm
manure is $50 per 1000 pounds of live
weight of animals. A ton of mixed
manure contains about ten pounds of
nitrogen at Is cents per pound: five
pounds Of phosphoric acid and ten
pounds of potash at 5 cents per pound.

Liquid excrement is more valuable
than solid. pound for pound Water
