Whilo\ncrops grown on these plots during lho\nseason of 1808 were well above Uio\navorago, those of 1800 havo boen still\nmoro satisfactory. In grain tlio increase has been most marked, in oats\nthe avorago yield of all the varieties\ntested at all tho experimental farms\nhas exceeded that of tho previous\nby 11 bushels 1 lb, per acre, two*\nil barley by 7 bush. 17 lbs., six-\nrowed bailey by .1 bush. 17 lbs. and\nspring wheat by 3 bush. BO lbs. per\nacre. Tho excellent average crops of\nturnips, mangels and carrots had in\n1808 were well maintained in 1899,\nIhere wns an increase in tho yield of\npotatoes at Ottawa and Nappnn, but a\ndecrease at Brandon, Indian Head and\nAgnssiz. The season throughout tho\nDominion was less favorable for Indian\nlorn and in this crop there was a falling ofl in yield.\nIn arranging these experiments tbo\nplan carried out during tho pnst four\nyears has been continued. Tho samo\nvarieties imve beeu sown at each of tho\nexperimental farms, tho land chosen\nfor lho plots has been as nearly uniform in character as could bo had and\nwas brought into a good condition of\ntilth. The seed has been sown early\naud has beon well cleaned nnd screened\nbofore sowing so as to separate tho\nsmaller kernels, leaving only tho plump\naud well-matured grain for seed. As\ntarns practicable all the varieties of\nthe same cereal have been sown oa the\nsnme day or at most within two or three\ndays so ns to give to all an oven start.\nMauy uew varieties of cerenls which\nhavo been produced ou lho experimen-\ntnl farms by cross-fertilizing during\ntlie pasl ten years are included in theso\ntests, a list of tbo names of these will\nbo found in each enso in tho paragraph\npreceding the table of returns.\nlu presenting the information gained\nby tho experience of 1899 tho weight\nof crop obtained in each case is given\nand Lhe varieties aro placed in lho order of Ibeir productiveness ut tlie central experimental farmalOttuwu. Tho\nnumber of days required for ouch sort\nfrom sowing to ripening is also added,\nnnd thus their relative enrliuess is\nshown.\nIn comparing tiio results of one single year with auother the relative positions occupied by each varietv iu point\nof productiveness will often vary, arising from lack of uniformity in tho\nsoil, and otber causes ; but the aver-\nago experience for four and five years\ngiven iu tho latter part of this bulletin\naffords satisfactory evidence bearing\non tho relative productiveness of each\nsort.

Thero is today iu Canada\nno abstract glow of enthusiasm or abstract thrill of sympathy, but the living glow and thrill of mother for son\nand sister for brother, and the yet\nkeener throb of a relation still dearer.\nFrom every corner of tho wide Dominion a prayer goes up for the welfare of\nher sons who may bo asked at any moment to yield their lives for the cause\nof empire.\nRight loyally and willingly has Canada sent her sons to tho front; men in\nwhose veins flows the blood of the old\nregime, side by side, with men whose\nslock is purely British, but all true\nCanadians, one iu their eagerness to\nserve under lhe Union Jack.\u2014Revelstoke herald.\nA Canadian editor, beiug asked if he\nhud ever seen a baidheaded woman,\nreplied : Xo, lie ucverdid.

Hut tho Transvaal war\nis making this truth as obvious to the\nlav mind as to the professional. It Ims\nopened tbo oyes of lhe people generally\nin ull civilized nations that England\nhas got practically a monopoly of all\nlho culiles of tliu world. As 1 suid,\nthis fact uppeurB iu a sort or side light\nrettectod from lho very glaring fact\nlliat imt one word nl' lelogmpbio nows\ngets lo or from South Africa which\nEnglish unlhurilics do not choose lo\nlet through. That has sol people to\nthinking u little and they huvo discov\norod thnt what Eugland is doing in\nSouth Africa sho could do nearly nil\nover (he entiro globo if sbo felt so di:\nposed.\nIf you wilt study a cable map of the\nworld a little you will seo what a tremendous powor\u2014for control of com\nmunicatlon is power\u2014England has\nquietly built in the forty-two yeur\nsinco lhe Ilrst cable message was sent\nby lho President of the United Stales\nto Queen Victoria. From that limo\nuntil this, silenlly und ceaselessly,\nEugland has buill up a system of submarine cables which today covers tbe\nentire world aud holds it fast in u sort\nof spider's web, of winch London Is tho\ncenter, You will notice iu studying\ntlio map that this marvellous system\ndivides itself inlo three great brunches\neaoh of which has its subdivisions.\nFor instance, a trunk of no less than\nton cables connects Great Britain wilh\ntbis counlry and the British possessions on the north. From this diverge\nvarious wires, sucb as lo Bermuda and\nlho West Indies.\nFrom London by way of Spain and\nPortugal, three more lines stretch to\nBrazil and spread out through tbo\nWest indies and to Central America\non lho north nnd down lho coast to\nMontevideo ou the south. From Montevideo, across the Soulli American continent, lliero is an English land line to\nValparaiso. From Valparaiso northward thoro is a double line, touching\nnl all ibo prineiiml poinis ou tho South\nAmerican Pucilic coast, up to Tolman-\nlepuc, from which placo thero is a land\nlino to Vera Cruz and Tamplco, whence\ncables go across the Gulf of Mexico to\nGalveston,\nSo in that vast mesh of lho spider's\nweb all Nortli and South America witb\ntheir adjacent islands aro held.\nFrom England toward the Mediterranean, Africa and llio Orient four\noablos are stretched, Thoy touch Gibraltar, Malta and Egypt and thence\npuss down the Itod sea to Aden. Aden\nis a great electric nerve center and distributing point, whioh today is or much\ninterest, for through tbo olllce thero\ntillers all tiio news Eugland allows to\nbe known about tho military situation\nIn South Africa. Tho African filament\nthrown out from Aden touohos Zanzibar, Mozambique, Dolugoa buy und\nCapo of Good Hope, Up tlio Wesl\nAfrican coast creeps another lino--not\nin service just now\u2014touching twolvo\ncoast towns, lhe lust ono being Si.\nLouis, until il lauds at last at Cadiz,\nSi uin. Thus you seo tho entiro African continent, with ail its adjacent\nislands of any consequence, is caught\nuud held fust in England's electric\nlasso.\nThreo cables reach from Aden to\nBombay, mid Ihence tbe meshes spread\nin all directions, to China, Japan, onr\nPhilippines, Australia and New Zealand, And ovor all tliis vast region\nEngland has no opposition thut can be\nculled such, A cuu pic of French lines\nto this country and down through tho\nWesl Indies by wny of llayti lo the\neasl Souih American const\u2014that is all.\nHero and there are short French lines\n\u2014as, for Instauae, from Xew Caledonia\nto Australia\u2014but theso are moro little\nfeeders to tho English lines und are\nentirely without international Consequence.\nBut even this system, enormous as it\nis, does not satisfy Great Britain. A\nnumber of hor cables land on foreign\nsoil, That will not do. In addition to\nnil this oar th grubbing commercial\nspider's web, there must bo an imperial\nweb whicli will reach around tho globo.\nhung from English land alouo. That\nsystem is actually in courso of construction. An Important link of itis\nto reach from Brilish Columbia to Australia, HUH another link will roach\nfrom Gibraltar to tho islands of Bath-\nursi, St. Helena and Ascension\u2014all\nEnglish\u2014to the Capo of (iood Hopo.\nThence auothor line will bo run to\ntho island of St, Maurice, which will\nhoagreut imperial telegraphic distrib\nuling station, with lines reaching to\nIndia, China nnd Australasia. Of this\nsystem ono block Is already completed\nfrom lho Capo of Good Hopo to\nBathurst island. The total cost of tho\nentire imperial system will bo about\n925,000,000, and ihu government will\nbear nil the burden,\nIt is an expensive job, say tlio Eng\nlish, It will cost enough to build flvo\nbattleships. But when it is done it\nwill make each and every battleship\nwo have flvo times ns effective as new.\nCertain laws control English cables\nwhich mako tbem absolutely in tbo control uf ihu goverumont, They uro all\nsubsidized, ns you know, nnd in return\nfor lho subsidy Johu Bull makes hth\nown rules. Every employee, for Instance, must be u British subject und\nLhe lines can nover be uudor llio con-\ntrot of any foreign goverumont. In\naddition to thai English government\ndispatches have precedence over Lliose\nof nil others at nil Limes, even Lliose or\nother governments, no mailer how\nurgent tbe lutter mny bo. In caso of\nwar England can seize ail llio cable\nlines and oporato them entirely with\ngovernment employees,\nIn olho words, John Bull hus built\nfor himself au empire undor the sen.\nwhoro ho rules with undisputed sway.\nWhothor Britannia rules over the\nwuvouhas yot Lobo determined; that\nshe rules under thom is beyond ques\ntion. Other nations nro getting rest\nless under tho sway, and It is lime we\nworo making a Btrilto for relief from\nit.

Tho timber to bo used in the\nconstruction will be lurch. The buckets aro l1.; cubic feet capacity, uud the\nladder is 45 ft. long, It will dredgo li\na depth of 25 ft. below tlio water. Tho\ndredgo will bo lilted with a tailings\nelevator to stack tho tailings to 20 f I\nabovo tbe water level aft, to allow tho\ndredgo to work into the dry land. Th\nwashdlrt, after boing lifted by the\nbuckets, will bo delivered tntoaseml\ncircular drop shoot lined with heavy\nbars of cast steel 2 iu. thick, boiled to\nthe shoot. Tho dirt will be delivered\nfrom the shoot into a perforated screen\nor cylinder 20 ft. by 51 in. diameter,\nmade ef steel plates perforated with\nsome thousands of holes, varying from\n5-10 in. diameter at Lhe top end to Vi'\nat tho lower end. Tho screen rovolv\nslowly, and the flno dirt, sand, and gold\nfalls through tho perforations on to\ntbo gold saving tables below, whilo the\ntones and coarser dirt is delivered out\nat tbo lowor end of tho screen inlo lbe\ntailings-elevator to bo carried up and\nstacked. The process of screening is\nassisted by a continuous shower of\nwater, which falls from a perforated\npipo passing along tho top of lho\nssreen inside, and washes the gold\nthrough tho perforations, and sluices it\nupon tho gold-saving tables, which ure\nusually covered with cocoanut matting\nwith wire netting laid upon il, The\nwater will be supplied by n 10 iu. Tan-\ngye's centrifugal pump, whicli forces\nita water through a surface-coudenser\nbefore it reaches tho screen, thereby\ndoing double duty ns a circulating\npump for the engine. Tho centrifugal\npump nnd tlio buckets will be driven\nby two belLs off a 12 horse-power compound condensing engine capable or\nworking Lo 50 horsepower, supplied\nwith steam from a 30 horse-power\nboiler or a typo specially designed for\nburning llrewood. The gearing for\ndriving tlio buckets is all very heavy;\ntho largest wheel has teeth 4 lu, pitch\nnud weighs closo upon 2 tons, and all\nthe rest of the gear is in lbe sume proportion, The winches aro ou an entirely now principle, different from\nanything yet constructed iu New Zealand. They havo tho usual four barrels for tbo sido linos, a barrel for tho\nladder-lifting line, and two barrels for\nthe head line, ono in cuso of emergency.\nIn addition to theso seven barrels\nthoro is a surging drum for odd purposes. Auy ono of tbe eight barrels\ncan bo usod separately, or tho wholo\neight can bo usod ut llio sumo timo by\none mnu. The winches nro very strongly\nconstructed, with tho gearing shrouded\non both sides or lho teeth, nnd will be\ndriven by u pair of Independent vortical engines. Tho designing of Lhis\ndrodgo baB beon intrusted to Messrs.\nCutton Brothers, consulting engineers,\nof Dunedin, and tho coutract for tho\nconstruction of tho maohinory is being\ncarried out by Messrs. A, & T. Burt, of\nDunedin. Tbo engines, boiler, nud\nwinch engines will bo made by Messrs.\nMarshall k Sons, Gainsborough, England. Messrs, Hoiu k Slioestakoff, for\nwhom it is beiug built, are now in Dunedin making arrangements to huvo tbo\nmachinery, which will be finished iu a\nfew weoks, abippod to St. Petersburg,\n(Concluded.)\ncan bo no two questions about the advantages to bo derived rrom the publication uf such facts and figures, Canada has nothing to couoeul, as a matter of fuel u most wonderful rate of\nprogress Lo show. Tbo miueral production of Canada In gold, silver, loud,\ncopper and nickel has been multiplied\ntwo and u-balf Limes iu two years.\nAbout 813,000,000 1111907,11 increased\nto #21,000,1X1!. in 1808, whilo a rough os-\ni imulo for 1800 shows nu output of at\nleast 931,000,000, Canada is now us important u producer of the precious\nmetals as Western A ustrnllu and bas a\nfuture inllnitely grimier. But peoplo\ndo uot know it. Tho mining industry\nor Canada Is slill considered by European investors us of a doubtful commercial Importance and iho results so\nfnr obtained havo been minimized in\ntheir minds by iho lack of success, on\nthe avorago, which has attended Ibeir\nparticular investments, But thc main\nl rouble is that Canada has uot yet\nawakened Lo a consciousness of its owu\nfuturo as a mineral producing couutry,\nTho glory of the country is uot its\nwheat and corn and buller nud cheese,\nbut its gold and silver uud copper aud\nlead und irou. These mark it as a\ngroat manufacturing aud trading couulry. Tho natural resources which have\nmado great countries ot Britain und\ntho United States must equally affect\nthe future of Canada. Slill, without\nthe power or will to attract thosurplus\ncapital of tbo world bow comparatively\nlow uud laborious must our progress\nbo. As already pointed out ono of tho\nbest ways to attract capital is to pub-\nb statistics of progress, aud it so\nhappens thnl Ibis could bu very easily\ndono, Tbo mineral output of Canada\nlakes tho form of either gold dust, bullion, lead bullion, coppor matto or\ncrude ore. None of these are retained\niu tbo country; they aro all exportod\nand their amounts, with tho valuo of\nihem, arooutorod at llio various ports\nof entry. Mow what could be easier\nthan for tho government to get from\neach customs olllcor tho amount of\ninolul of different kinds, and its value,\nexported every month, to collate and\nepitomize thoso returns at a control\nolllco and publish u monthly bulletin\nof mineral production which could\nbe easily and accurately summarized\nat tbo end of the year, Such a bulletin would bc eagerly seized upon and\npublished by Lhe press; its cost would\nbe almost nothing and ils value to tho\nmining industry would be incalculable.\nOf courso ull this information finds its\nway Dually into lho statistical year\nbook. But thero its proper signifl canoe\nis lost to tho casual reader and bas t0\nbo carefully extracted beforo it bo-\ncomes any thiug of au advertisement to\ntbe country.

These piers were tlio pillars\nto his front door. Ami within the\nbrenl.water wnu Duff's home.\nHo had framed two rooms In this\ncave of conjoining stalagmites and\nRtalnctl.CSi roofed them neatly, floored\nthem well nnd had run n stovepipe\nout laterally. In this retreat, vlslblo\nonly from tbe water and run In unconscious deilance of the cily authorities,\nDuff kept the necessaries of life\u2014food\nIn his cupboard, fuel for his stove,\nchairs for himself aud two friends, ll\nClock and ft calendar.\nNothing wna needed except perhaps\n& Wife. Duff noticed this lack, beiug\nan observant man, nud when ho rowed\nabout the familiar waters fn his skiff\nor toasted Ids dry bread over his Ore\nor Iny In his bed listcuiug to the sounds\nof bis solitude he thought much about\ntho matter. Sometimes it made him\nlaugh; ofteuer It made him a little sad.\nDuff loved the Bluglug of the water\nbetter than any sound In the world,\nand he was not finite certain to what\ndegree a woman's voice would add to\ntbe harmony of lapping waters and\nwalling winds.\nDuff knew a woman. Sho was Mat\nIlcndriek's daughter, nnd she wore a\n\u2022ed handkerchief nbont her head when\nhe came Qsltfdg witb hor father. Full\npf hia idea, Duff baited Agatha's hook\nfor her a whole week of windy Juno\ndays. At the end of thnt time lie asked her to go riding In his bont with\nhlm in thc moonlight, nnd she went.\nDuff listened to her talking and her\nlaughter nud Ukcd It much. It wns not\nso lonesome as the sound of the waves.\nHe iold ber about bis home, and she\nlaughed harder than before. And bo\nrowed her, nil In the marvelous tnoan*\nBlaine, up to the breakwater and persuaded her to pass between the piers\nand lo stand, en tlio floor of his house,\nmid then aho laughed still more.\n\"It la like a story,\" she cried. \"It\neanuot be true! It Is not like other\nthings\u2014I know It Is uot true! I am\nonly dreaming!\"\n\"It Is truo,\" protested Duff. \"And\nnlso It is true that I want you to como\nhere nud live with me. Yon din help\nme with tlio fish. Some dny we shall\nhave money enough to buy a boat with\nsails. And I will give you a wedding\npresent, maybe, If you will marry mo\nsoou.\"\nAgnthn laughed.\n\"But whatever we have now, wo\nmust never hnvo n new house,\" sho\ncried. \"Wc must livo here where the\nfishes can come to visit me. Tnp, tap,\nI shall henr at the door, nnd when I\nopen it there will be n big fish all In his\nSunday best. 'Como In,' I slinll sny to\nlillh, aud in he wilt come, nnd I will\nonll you down, ami we will drink ten\ntogether.\" And, still laughing, she looked out of the li .tlo window nt tho\nshimmering water aud clapped her\nhands.\nDuff took It for granted thnt nil was\nsettled, nnd he did nothing but plan\nfor his marriage, lie bought some\nthings for the house\u2014a crucifix nud\nsome new cooking tins and a red cover\nfor the table. Aud ho saved as much\nmouey aa he could, for he know that\nhis weddlug would cost hlm a. groat\ndcnl. At night he slept only a pnrt of\nthe time, nnd he dreamed nnd dreamed\nof Agatha, while tho water without\nmltated her laugh.\nIn September he noticed that she\nceased lo come with her father to tho\nbreakwater.\n\"She wants me to go nfter her,\" ho\nsaid to himself wisely. So ho went,\nmuch dressed and with his curls freshly cut. But she wns not nt home,\nthough It wns evening, nor did she\ncome to the brenkwnter all thnt week.\nThe days seemed as if thoy would never end, wlillo he pretended to wnteh\nhis Hues, yet sal with his eyes upon\niln |i:iili ihat led across thc railroad\ntrucks down which Agnthn nlways\nwalked. But (hough he snw many\ne, ' Uio tbat way he did not catch the\nguw of a red handkerchief bound nbuu\nblack braids. The lake filled the Utile\nrooms within the breakwater with a\nthousand voices lliat seemed to call 01'.\nto Duff that he was a fool, nud he grew\ndesperate and one dny wcnl in sertli'l\nof the girl. Hho wns at home Irouliij.\n(.nine clothes, nml she looked a lit tli\nfrightened when she saw him coming\nat ifle door.\n\"Are you going to tnnrry me?\" lie\ncried. His hands were clinched and his\neyes hot.\n\"Whnt Is tbe matter?

The girl\ngrew pale.\n\"Why should I hate you, Duff? Havo\n( ever noted ns if I hntcd you?\"\nHo went homo determined to bring\ntbo marriage to pass as soou ns possible, nud ho bought n shawl from Bohemia beautiful with many colors, which\nho laid nsldo to givo his bride. Also be\narranged with tbo priest. lie got flowers In pots to place in bis home In tho\nbreakwater, nnd he thought of how lho\ntwo of them would sing together so\nloud that they would drown thc sound\nof the waves even In a storm.\nTheu the days grew so fow to the\nday ho had set for hia wedding that ha\ncould count them.\nOne ovoniug sho promised bim thnt\nshe would go ngnin for a rido in the\nmoonlight. It was October now, lint\ntho weather wns still warm, aud the\nUiooil roso the color of blood. But,\nthough lie waited n long tlmo nt the\nplace whero she had promised to meet\nIiim, sho did not cotlio.
