~lobtain these results the discoverer of
the new method constructed a sprout-
yng house with double walls filled in
with sawdust and sawdust overhead,
and double doors. The seed potatoes
are put into old barrels and small boxes
to keep them warm and make them
means of charcoal fire in a bake oven.
The potatoes will begin to grow, and
in four to six weeks they will be the
size of peas.
The discoverer tells how he plants in
the followiug language :
oT.now knock.the barrels or boxes to
sprouts and myriads of new potatoes.
The numerous roots hold the whole
mass together, and I load it on hand-
barrow and have two men carry it
down the row while I break off a hand-
ful of the mass and drop it on the bank
in the furrow already prepared, asstated
Count the little potatoes on the stems
until you can form an idea of how much
of a handful you must break off. Your
hand should not contain more than for-
ty nor less than twenty.
oI plant in a water furrow, but leave
a narrow balk in the bottom and upon
this I drop the seed every eighteen
inches. . Part, of the seed falls on one
eo I have really a double hill. I cover
with two furrows. The. seed I use is
generally the size of English peas,
though they run from the size of a bird's
eye tothat ofa marble, Of these I
drop from twenty to sixty in each hill,
and if there is enough rain every one
will make a fine potato. It never takes
more tnan seventy-five potatoes grown
in this way to make a bushel, and often
sixty will do it; but it takes manure
to grow them, After rains, I put li.
quid manure in addition to the manure
already in the soil. The manure gov-
erns the yield.�
It is claimed by the new method po-
gatoes can be grown in from four to six
weeks, while the old method requires
from three to four months. By the new
method, six crops,can be taised annual,
ly. Of course the ground is heavily
fertilized."Hortieultural Gleaner. |

* Journey Down the River.
The geographical world was anx!®us
to know what was this mysterious river
the quest-of: which: had: oecupied: Liv-
ingstoneTs declining years. The Lon-
| don Daily Telegraph joinedywith: the.
New York Herald in. defrayigg the
| cost of this secorid expedition: ~The
story of how I set/out a second time
from Zanzibar, circumnavigated the
Victoria Nyanza, discovered Lake Al-
bert. Edward, voyaged around Lake
farthest point " Nyangwe " on the
banks of the Lualaba, has been told in
detail in my. book oThrough the Dark
Continent.� It also relates how, after
a tedious Jand journdy p jralletwith the
viver, I made ready my. English boat,
collected about a score of native tanbes,
embarked my followers, and how, afterT
a course of nearly 1,800 miles, we
redched the Atlantic. dcean at the
mouth of the Congo, ; By this river voy-.
age the question which had puzzled
Livingstone for 11 years was solved,
It is a noticéable fact that when I began
my descent of the Congo I was the only
white 12an"excepting my companion,
Frank Pocock"to be found. between
the Zambesi and the Bahr-¢l-Ghazal,
and between Zanzibar and the Lower
Congo. | oe
Tt may easily be understood why, on
returning from the discovery of the
greatT Affican waterway,T/I should be
anxious that England should avail her-
self of it. In 1816 England had dis-
patched a naval expedition under Capt.
Tuckey to ascend the Congo, but it ter-
minated disastrously 200 miles inland.
In 1873. Capt. G another English
1876 Admiral Hewitt's expedition had
suppressed the pirates of the Lower
Congo, For over 60 years Engiand had
~kept watch over the Congo slavers.
Half of the,expenses of my expedition
had been contributed in England. She
was also rich, tender and just toward
the natives, and her people were the
best colonizers in the world. All these
facts were, in my opinion, claims that
might justify England in stepping for-
ward and taking possession."Henry M.

~bieycle, according .to our consul at
Athens, who, in a letter to the state de-
partment, calls attention to the chance
American wheelmakers have of dispos-
ing of their product. Consul George
Horton says othere are at the present.
time about 400 bicyeles in Athens...
They are mostly of English make. The
average price at which wheels sell here
is $78.65, and the average weight is 26
pounds. The character of the roads
renders a lighter make impracticable,
unless the machines are of a high grade
and with a wide base. The duty on |
hicycles is insignificant, not being
manufactured here.
oThe history of the bicycle in Greece
is interesting. The first machine was |T
brought here many years ago by the
king. It was an all-wood affair, front
driving, of the variety known as ~bone-
shaker.T Naturally, his majesty did
not appear in public on the streets, as
bicycles were regarded by the natives
as supernatural and uncanny for many
years. The pioneer bicyclists of Greece
were subjected to many inconvenien-
ces and even dangers. They were
hooted and laughed at on the streets of
Athens, and were sometimes stoned
and tumbled from their wheels, At
the present day the rustic generally
crosses himself and utters a prayer
when a bicycle passes him,
oBicycling may be said to have com-
menced here in earnest about eight
years ago with the founding of several
clubs and the adoption of the wheel as
én amusement by leading Greeks, It
is safe to predict a craze in the near
future, as the royal family and many of
the leading diplomats are now en-
thusiasts. The crown prince and the
English, Americen and German min-
isters, among others, may be seen on
the streets every day mounted upon
wheels. Such leadership has more
weight in Greece than it would have in
} America, Last year one of the dealers
here brought over five wheels of a cele-
brated American type from New York.
He had no difficulty in selling them im-
mediately at 1,000 drachmas apiece,
| They were lighter than the English
wakes ordinarily used here, and very
much admired, No attempt has since
been made by American makers to
place wheels in Athens, __
oMany agreeable excursions can he
made with the wheel, among them
from Athens to Phalerum, to the
Piereus, to the kingTs property at Tutoi,
to Marathon,to Thebes and other placcs,
Many long trips are possible; for ex-
ample, there is a magnificent road
skirting the sea all the way to Corinth.
After stopping a day or two to visit
the ancient Acropolis one may continue
the journey to Nauplia, the capital of
Greece under Otho, taking in the ruins
of Mycenae, Argos and Tyreus on the
way. The scenery of such a trip is
magnificent beyond description, and
the points touched at are of surpassing
historical interest, The climate is fa-
vorable for bicycling, there being a wet
and a dry season, so that one knows be-
fore starting what weather to expect.�
The revival of the Olympian games,
which occurs in April, will include
bicycle races, and Consul Horton
thinks American wheelmakers would
find it advantageous to have a repre-
sentative present."Boston Herald.
