King A despaleh from Paris says: The, mightiest Sovereign in Christendom walking about unattended and with no more fear of Anarchists than of ghosts was the spectacle the Parisians have had during the past few days. King Ed- ward and Queen Alexandra during theirl stay here mingled fieely with the public and were freely received with the most hearty expressions of welcome. They visited the leading theatres, and during the entr'actcs King Edward walked about in the lobbies smoking his cigarette like any ordinary spectator. Nowhere was the slightest attempt at mobbing or storing. After bowing and showing dis~ erect marks of deference, those present 'stood aside, treating the King as one of themselves. There were no signs of ob- trusive curiosity. The King and Queen have delighted and tickled the vanity of l‘arisians by thus mingling with them like private individuals, and the Paris- fans, by their tactful politeness. have in turn won the hearts of King Edward and .of Queen Alexandra. v D‘s TRAIN BURNED AT BELLEVILLE.

ATMOSPHERIC NITROGE Can Be Extracted By Means of Electricity Says Prof. A despatch from Ottawa says: The progress of agriculture in Canada and the practical results obtained by the ex- tension of the experimental farm sys- tem formed the subject of an address by Professor \Vm. Saunders, Director of Government Experimental Farms, before the Agricultural Committee on Wednes- day morning. As an illustration of the growth and importance of experimental work Professor Saunders stated that in 1890 his correspondence amounted to about eight thousand letters in the course of the year, while for the past. seven years the average had been (33,797 letters. In 1887 the number of seed sam- ples distributed amounted to 1.140. while last. year the total was 13.8.85. Contrast-i ing the wheat production of the various countries. he pointed out that Great Bri- tain came t‘iist with 30.05 bushels to the acre, and Gai'iiiaiiy second with 2‘25 bushels. Canada was well up. the avei: age for Ontario being 13.02 bushels per, acre. Manitoba 1.8.45 per acre. and the Northwest 17.13 per acre. lixpez'iiiicnts with Canadian lied Fife wheat in Eng-l land had been laud)" wfied out, and, proved remarkably successful. With re-l Saunders. ders said that while goose wheat had proved eminently successful in corkun localities, he could not advise Canadiar famiers to plant it generally. Referring to recent experiments made by Sir \V'il- liam Crookes with a view of extracting by‘ means of electricity nitrogen from air, to be used as a fertilizer. Professor Saunders said that when the scheme was perfected it would i'evolu‘ionize agriculture. At Niagara Falls on Ameri- can company had sunk a million dollars in endeavoring to establhh an industry on these lines, but the cost of electricity was too high to allow the project to be successful. it seemed that if electricity could be produced for this purpose at a 9,152 of $1 per horsei'iower the extraction of nitrogen from the aliiiosphere and the production of nitrate of time for fertiliz- In ing could be carried out profitably, Norway. where there wvie many ln‘ \\’alt?I‘-p(‘i\\’i‘l‘5. a company ! .rl ‘..' tablishcd and w as conniving ! 2 successfully. in the supply The matter was an important min. had been estimated that the \Mrtd's sup. ply of nitric soda would run but ill nine- , i...
