AREN HORllGUtlURiSl The Duke of Connaught Takes Great .' interest In Gardening “a Duke of Connaught has quite ‘won the hearts of the staff of Lar- donors at Rideau Hall by his interest In the house conservatories. The big glass houses are the most modern and best part of thn Government House establishment. Lady Gro‘y was a moist enthusiastic gardener and spent many hours in the greenhouses, act ve- ly assisting the gardeners in pruning. j layering and training the plants, the result being a profusion of bloom and foliage which was the admiration of all visitors. His Royal Highness. it appears is even a more enthusiastic admirer of flowers than Lady Grey. endalihough he does not actually as- sist the gardeners in their work. in- , elllgently assists them with his ad- ‘ “ice and purse. One result of his in- terest has been the addition to the stock of the greenhouses of some rare varieties of flowers, from the Royal conservatories in England. it is stated that the Duke of Connaught is one,oi the most experienced hor- ticulturists oi the day. When at home at Bagshot House, he derives great pleasure from working in his garden. The laying out of beds is the work of his own hands, and he has qul‘e a remarkable knowledge of botany. One of the finest conservatories in the world is 'to be seen at Bagshot .Park, the interior representing a gor- geous tropical scene, in which terns. ,sialms, orchids, and other exotirs flourish in luxuriant profusion, water- ed by miniature cascades, fountains and dripping wells. There is a stal- actite cavern at one end, which by zen arrangementpf mirrors, appears 'far larger than it is in reality. A deep stream flows’along the floor of this cavern, and beneath it are con- cealed a number of colored electric lamps, so that at night several little pools in the dark recesses appear to glow with a mysterious latent lire. Designed by an eminent London firm. this extraordinary conSJrvatory cost “515,000. no sun soon ‘ A Proposed Water Route From Fargo, N.D., to Hudson Bay The latest ::herne to obtain trans- portation to Hudson Bay, is by deep inning the Red River, and establishing p navigable route from Fargo, N.D.. lo the Bay. Experts have been work- ing on the practicability of such a project and it is believed to be pos~ 'slbie to dredge out the shallow places in the river and make it possible for freight boats to travel with compara- tive safety. This work will be costly but once done should be a great boon to transportation to the Bay. It has been estimated that this water route 'to the Bay will be 'a saving in dis- tance to haul freight of about 1,000 miles. 'This will be a great help to xtransportation from the Northern States. Winnipeg, which is the key .‘to the West, will come in for a share 'of the benefit from this water route. At present boats trav 1i from that city to Lake Winnipeg. but in event of the establishing of the boat route from Fargo to the Bay, this presentlvwater route will be much improved. The channel in many places is narrow and shallow , 3‘ it will be necessary to deepen in some places and broaden in others if a regular route for com- mercial freighting is to be established. This proposed route would mean much to transportation from Winnipeg and, it established, would be one more link between Western Canada and the Old Country marketsâ€"Farmers Advocate. !

In the coal-mines a. large mount of small coal is sent up. and, although the minor is not paid for it, it is tar from being worthless or useless, the coal-owner selling all the small made at the pits. In Carditt, Swansea, and Port. Talbot there are works where small coal is converted into blocks called patent fuel. The method is by tipping the coal into a large bin, after which it is mixed with pitch, and all ground very fine. It is then conveyed into pug-mills, and super-heated steam is passed through it, knives revolving on a shaft keeping it in motion while this is being done. Afterwards. being then in a. sticky3 condition, it is passed into a press. and a tremendous pressure applied. This turns the mass into hot, steam-r ing blocks. which are then pushed 011 either on to endless travelling wires“ 5which convey them into canal-boats, or to a jetty, whence they are loaded into ships for conveyance abroad. The different Governments use a great deal of it for naval purposes. V‘ , In the pit itself much of the small coal that is cut is thrown back with the rubbish, and only large coal is; loaded and taken up.â€"G. F.
