Ai Koterprue of Great Commercial sod Geographical lmportauce. The question of opening the interior of Siberia becomes more and more im portant While hitherto the canals between the larjje rivers, and project of navigating the dangerous Kara Sea, were foremost :tmong the plans that seemed likely to be realized, the project of a railroad from the lower Obi to the coast west of Nova Zembla has at present assume! definite shape. The Russian newspajers give the following reports of the project: The Obi rail road, the most northern roud ever planned, will bi of the greatest eco nomic importance to Siberia. It de serves special attention, as tbe pro jectors do not demand any subsidy or Government guaranties. The river Malaia-Obi. near Obdorsk. is the start ing point of the projected line, which will take a direction towards the foot hills of the Ural Mountains. The lat ter will be crossed in one of the trans versal valleys, which are not over one hundred feet above sea level. It will cross the river Ussa near its source and reach the ocean through the tun dra of IJolchesemelsk. Its terminus will be in the Bay of Shainoudir, near Belcoff Nosse. The total length of the line will be two hundred and sixty miles. The price of construction, in cluding roiling stock, is est. mated at forty thousand dollars, or ten million dollars the whole line. The establish ment of a port on the Arctic Ocean in the locality mentioned above, with all modern improvements for loading and unloading ves sels, is estimated at one and half million dollars. To this must be added the cost of establishing a line of river boats on the Obi and Irtish, which is estimated at two and a half million dollars. Thus the whole plan requires the expenditure of fifteen million dollars in works of construc tion. It is believ ed that the line can be worked for six months of the year. The products of the remotest parts of the Obi basin will ba carried to the shipping port on the ocean in twelve days, while twelve days more will be sufficient to carry them to London. The price per hundred weight is esti mated at f 1.30; while u the present route, via Barnaul, Ferm. St Peters burg, London, it is $2.2o, the time nec essary to accomplish this distance being 130 days. The railroad, which has been pro jected by Mr. Golovacheff, is intended as a means for making the transac tions of a Siberian commercial com pany, which has been founded re cently, profitable. According to the concession granted by the Russian Government, this road will not bo open to the public, but will only be used by the grantee, who proposes to export the grain and stock from Southern Siberia, and hopes to be able to fur nish the London market with North Siberian lish. On the other hand, the company will import principally ma chinery, which so far has hardly found its way to Siberia, and other articles which are at present imported bv Moscow merchants. Science. GRADES !N CHINAWARE. A Drummer Gives Awrv Some of the Se crets of the Kindness. Few people are aware of what are known as firsts, seconds and thirds in chinaware, so that when they purchase goods they believe that they arc of the same quality, and only look for beauty. Hence, when they have bought a piece or set of chinaware and observe some thing wrong or peculiar about it and yet can not understand why it is differ ent from other chinaware, they have received a second. A first in china ware is something that is perfect and without flaw. This class of goods com mands the best prices, and is not often reduced at sales. When the goods just fall short of being perfect, that is, defective in workmanship, not notice able to the casual observer, they are seconds and sell lower than the firsts. A little crack in the glazing, a scratch or an indentation makes a second. So, also, you will find the plate warped or the bottom of a saucer uneven. This was caused by some accident in firing. It makes the goods seconds. Some dealers sell firsts and seconds at the same price, making no distinction to the customer, and even deliver a sec ond where a first was chosen, thinking only the pattern will be noticed, and most people would not notice the dif ference at onee. The best houses make the distinction by setting a different price on t he goods, so that a purchaser wonders why apparentl vthe same sets of china-ware are of unequal charge. The dealer simply says one is more perfect than the other. Sometimes the deal ers mix the two grades and sell them as firsts. This is as bad as making no distinctions between firsts and seconds. The thirds are goods that are defective. In every firing of china some pieces are imperfect, and yet not so bad as to be thrown away. They are assorted into a third grade and sold cheap. Hotels, restaurants and places where the china ware is apt to be broken purchase thirds. St. Isouis Globe-Democrat.

At the close of each growing season there are some lessons of the year that should be gathered up and rehearsed in order to fix them permanently in mind, and also to add to the stock of general information, which all should be glad to increase to its utmost extent If the changes for each month for the en tire season came in routine order recurring at stated times in exact pe riods of duration the science of agri culture would long since have reached beyond the domain of conjecture and entered the list of exact sciences. Ts effectual processes that bring success in this year's operations would be the pattern for next season's practice in every line of farming. But in propor tion as the changes of the season dif fer, so the application of different prac tices becomes necessary. Vv rule wo are striving to determine what system of tactics to employ in a wet or cold season, we forget what manipulation or the soil becomes necessary for a dry one. In discussing this phase of farming with a few gathered farmers at a neighbors fireside lately, the special subject of growing corn in a dry season came up, and it was generally conceded that our knowledge of cause and effect in the growth of this crop was very limited. The heroic treatment of con tinued cultivation has proved fatal in every instance, especially where any thing more than surface cultivation was attempted. Many fields, under a system that would bi- considered slack, when gauged by the usual effective methods, have produced all that could have been expected in average years, while constant and thorough cultiva tion damaged and dwindled the crop down to a meager half. There is a limit beyond which culti vation ceases to do good, and is fre quently, especially in a dry season, a serious damage. When the soil is free from weeds, and is well pulverized, no further manipulation can increase its power of appropriating its essential food and moisture. Every attempt to increase this power disturbs the oper ations of the root system and checks the growth of the plant. Apple trees are frequently pruned so severely that they die of their wounds. Every nurseryman knows that it takes from seven to ten days for young trees to recover, and begin to grow after each pruning of the top. In a wet season, when the earth has a full supply of moisture, corn grows in spite of vigor ous cultivation, and indeed the fact that the season is wet, often prevents excessive stirring of the soil. The rule that is here now commonly ac cepted, is to stir the surface of the ground after each heavy rain that is liable to crust the top soil; but while the earth is becoming drier and drier, keep out of the corn and sit in the shade rather than work it then. Wo know so little of what is going on beneath the first two inches of earth that it is not surprising that we allow custom instead of knowledge to guide our acts. The effectiveness of im proved machinery makes it compara tively easy to stir the soil to any rea sonable depth. With this power to do comes the desire and fashion, with no consideration for the evil that may be done to the growing crop. Har rowing wheat in the spring with the view of improving the growth is a twin fallacy that ought to go to that crowded limbo of rejected theories where such nonsense naturally bo longs, Cor. Coui'try Gentleman. HOW WOOD IS BENT. now the Latent Machines Devised for This Purpose Do The.r Work. Recent construction employs bent wood much more largely than for merly; replacing thereby sawed forms of irregular shape or built-up members with mortised and tenoned joints. Bent wood is now largely used in wagons, carriages and car building, chair making: and the like; and it has even been seriously proposed for ship building to replace by bent members all knees and other timber of curved outline. The steam-box makes the wood pliable, and when cold it retains the form into which it was bent while hot Recent machines bend small ar ticles around hollow steam-heated formers, thus doing away with the necessity of opening a steam-box and maintaining tight joints therein. In bending shafts the formers and beds are arranged in sections each to hoid ten shafts, one section of ten being made right and the other left handed. All twenty of the shafts get their vertical curvature around a drum as in plow-handle bending, and the lateral bend is accomplished after the shafts have been brought down to the horizontal plane and the vertical bend thus formed. Both the form for the vertical bend and the bed for the horizontal are hollow and heated by steam. In a recent plow-handle bender, the formers are cast in one piece, making a cylinder to admit steam. Upon the periphery of this there are fifteen grooves of proper depth to suit the inside shape and circle of the handle, and at tho terminus of the grooves there are lugs cast to attach long handles to. Each handle is placed in a socket and bent by a lever, over a former; being allowed to remain tw and one-half hours in place. After this the handle will remain in shape in any climate. Cor.
