This attracts the metallic string below, but the micro- phone interrupts the current and therewith the attraction. The string returns to its former place, and this continued attraction and interruption of the current is carried on, the num- ber of vibration being regulated by the pitch of the string.

WHITE FLAG NOW FLYING. A despatch from Larissa says the white flag has heen hoisted between the armies of Turkey and Greece, and that Crown Prince Constantine has been authorized to suspend hostilities with a view to concluding arrange- ments for an armistice. To all in- tents and purposes the war is ended. The Sultan is puffed up with vanity by reason of the success of his troops, and Greece, the nation with which the European powers sympathize but dare not assist is humiliated in the dust made sacred by a thousand memories of the past. ' The Sultan is in no yielding mood, and flings his defiance in the face of combined Europe. He says he is pre- jared to modify his demands in regard o the retrocession of Thessaly, and may even lessen his claims for indem- nity, owing to the bankrupt condi- tion of Greece. - But in regard to the modification of the capitulations, it is impossible, he says, to make any chai in his demands. It is confi- dently hoped by him that Europe will have a sufficient sense of justice not to press Turkey, as upon this point she is determined not to yield, and should, Europe attempt to impose such a sacrifice by force of arms, the situa- tion created would be most detrimental to general peace. The powers hava a grave task -be- fore them, They are pledged to Greece to obtain' terms of peace that she Ca accept without national humiliation, andthe Sultan bars the way and speaks contemptuously of the combined forces of Europe compelling him to abate his demands one jot. The powers are face to face with a dilemma, and the civiliz- ed world awaits with anxiety its #6 lution by the diplomats of the pow THE CZAR'S MESSAGE.

One track over the Victoria bridge no longer sufficed for the Grand Trunk, and the present live directorate of that road concluded as soon' as means could be found for the purpose to have the old super structure replaced by one with a dou- ble track. { AN ARRANGEMENT was effected with the Dominion Goy- ernment whereby the change has been made possible, the Government's in- terest being due to the fact that it was bringing the Intercolonial rail- way into Montreal, and would use tk Victoria bridge as well as thirty-six miles of Grand Trunk track.

As a rule, where the horse i8 worked in the field a good share of. the time, its shoes should be removed, moderately and trimmed at the edges to avoid breaking. It should be remembered that the horse becomes thirsty in warm weather as well as man. If his master re- quires whiter to allay his thirst every our, the horse should be offered the same comfort at least once between meals. It may be observed here that water which has been drawn for an hour or two will quench thirst, requir- ing bat a moderate amount for ithe purpose. it is usually the safer policy ior both man and beast, when very thirsty, to satisfy the craving {with clear water from the well that has been drawn for an hour, asia __ rule. The stock horses, that are grazing, it will be observed, seldom drink from the bubbling spring to which they may have access, if there is a pool of clear water that is slightly warmer. This suggestion is on the theory that the creature is not liable to drink too iplied traffic on them will be much, if this precaution is observed. It should be clear to everyone that there is danger of swallowing too much liquid during the heated season. The most observing horsemen as a rule, we believe, have come to the conclusion that water should be given just before feeding. Except in emer- gencies, no water should then be giv- en after this for two hours. Except during the four heated summer months there is little danger of any suffering if the horse is allowed all it 'wishes to «irink just before taking its meals per day. Extended comment has been giv- en here on the subject of water, for the reason that many of the ills during the working season arise from one or the other extremes in furnishing drink to the horse. ' During the next. two months of heavy work, if possible, the teams should have sound oats or barley as a_ principal grain food. A mixture by weight of one part oil meal or two parts instead of the oil meal of wheat bran, with four parts of corn and eight parts of oats or barley, makes a very (good combination. If the grain is ground in- toa meal it should be mixed with chop- ped hay or chopped straw and if damp- ened a little all the better, before feeding. It is not advisable as a rule to allow the horse to devour the clear meal. The saliva will be permitted to act with better effect if this precau- tion is observed. If the hay used is very ripe and brittle, it is especially needfuljthat a little oil meal or bran should ed in the food. In casethe hay was harvested in rare condition, it will exercise a laxative effect in digestion, and displace the oil meal or bran in the combi = _The feeder must be on the tinually to counteract the res exceptional conditions.

In his report presented to the coun- cil of the Royal Agricultural Society at their last meeting Mr. Carruthers mentions that a portion of a field in Kent had been Own in August last with Trifolium incarnatum. 'The plant began to show signs of failing about Christmas. Several large patches show- ed themselves, especially in a part of the field which had been sown with a late red variety. The early red and the late white were less injured. Some of the injured plants were sent to him, and he found that thay had been de- stroyed by Sclerotinia trifoliorum, a fungus that had not hitherto been known in Britain, though well known in Denmark, and discovered also in the United-States. Arcording to London Farm and Home, this fungus forms small) Mmasses.of resting mycelium or sclerotia like those of ergot, from which in due time one or more minute stalk- ed heads bearing spores are produced. The plant is attacked in the first in- stance in the green leaves, and then the fungus makes its way through the plant. He found three or four sclerotia in some roots. Ail the cellular tissue had been dissolved by the fluid given off by the mycelium and then consum- ed, leaving nothing of the root except the skin and the woody bundle in the center. The root was consequently un- able to convey nutriment to the plant As this may prove a serious calamity to clovers if it spreads in the country the consulting botanist urged the farm- er to plough in the crop and to avoid clovers in the field for many years to come. He was of the opinion that the fungus had been introduced by seed imported from abroad, SITUATIONS FOR BLACKBERRIES Blackberries will generaly do wellon low land, if wiuter protection is given; but if the hardy varieties are used with- out protection, high land should be chosen. The soil should be neither the light sand nor heaviest clay. In fer- tilizing bear in mind thateground rich in potash and phosphoric acid makes strong, firm wood, and greatly aids seed formation, while that excessively rich in nitrogen makes the wood soft and succulent and easily winter killed; hence, all _ the wood ashes should be saved for the blackberry patch. Having our ground deeply worked and subsoil- ed, we plow furgows about eight feet apart and six ifiches deep, set plants about three feet apart, taking care not to expose the roots, loaded, as they are, with the calluses, but cover them at once and firm the soil, and cultivate shallow the same day of setting, so the water may draw wp around' the plant and nourish it at its critical per- lod. the os FOUND BY EXPLORATION. et An Antique Ground Plan of Palestine and Jerusalem Discovered at Madaba, in Syria. At the last meeting of the French Academy M. Heron de Villefosse com- municated the news of the discovery of an antique mosaic of the highest in- terest at Mpdaba, to the east of the River Jordan, by the Rev. Father Kleo- pas, Secretary to the Greek Patriarch of Jerusalem, The mosaic is remark- able as presenting a map of Paies- tine and a part of Egypt, the scenes of the events recorded in the Bible. It is executed with so much truthfulness and accuracy that natives themselves were able to identify some of the de- picted places. 1 Mountains, rivers, and towns are re- presented, and their names are given in Greek. Some picturesque details have been added by the artist, such as trees of various species, fishes swim- ming in the Nile and the Jordan, boats sailing on the Dead Sea, etc. The owns are indicated by small buildings ose seen on the Pentinger's Each city is identified by its eristics.
