A despatch from Chafe° says
The steamship Independent chartered
by the Osaka. Shosen Itraisha, was
held here on Tuesday by Custoine
Commissioner Campbell while dis-
embarking passengers and local
:freight. The vessel is engaged in
cerryinn food from Japan to New-
Chwang. Commissioner Campbell
contends that is she is allowed to
go it will be a violation of China's
neutrality, and ensiets upon, the car-
go being landed here. The Japanese
Consul here has protested against
the commissioner's decision, and has
referred the matter to Mr. Uchida.,
the japanese Minister at Pekin. Mr,
Campbell meanwhile lias appealed to
Sir Robert Hare, Inspector -General
of Customs for China, for support.
It is believed the In.dependent is con-
veying a large sum of money, esti-
mated at 10,000,00 yen (e5,000,-
000), to pay the Japanese army. It
is rumorel that a Japanese "destroy-
er arrived late Tuesday night from
Daluy and toek off all the money. ex-

• THE BALTIC FLEET.:
A despatch from. Berlin says :-The
Vossiche Zeitung's Kiel correspon-
dent learns from a nenst reliable
source that the Baltic fleet on its
way to the Far East will call at
Kiel. The Russians desire to pass
tlerougb the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal.
They already have. asked the Ger-
mane on what clay the pa.seage can
be made. Tlierefore it is supposed
that Germany will allow belligerents
te ese the canal and German ports
antler certain conditiane. The best
informed circles in Berlin do not
know of any request on the part of
the P,USSiallS for permission to use
-the canal.

EQUAL TO LAST YEAR.
Worst That Can be Expected oS
Manitoba Crop.
A Montreal despatch says: "Re-
ports on the Manitoba wheat crop
have beern decidedly better, and a
n.aritecI improvement has taken place
in the general keened, of the crop tlis-
inlet in the past ten days." This
was the -view expressed' by Mr. P.
W. Thompson, the vice-president of
the Ogilvie Flour Mills Company on
Wednesday.
The Ogilvie company has received
exhaustive reports from its large
number of crop experts throughout
the wheat belt, and, leasing its
estf-
arate on the full inforraation to
nand; Mr. Thonpeon said that Mani-
toba ancl the Territoriee this year
wolaci yield 58,000,f100 of wheat.
This woeld mean an increase of 5,-
000,600 breeliels over last year.
"In malting this statentent," said
Mx. ThoMpson, "I am allowing for
rust aconae,,e and other nepreciation.
Of course, we cannot look ahead, and
we may have damage from frost. In
that eaee 'tlie estimate would have
-to be adjusted, but should we have
frost, and there is nothing to indi-
cate it now, the very worst we
could respect is a crap fully equal to
last year.
rrOur reports on Wednesday were
exceedingly encoara,ging, one place
reporting- a fine, full crop, in fact
the best on record.. So there are
lots of good reports as well as the
less satisfactory ones."

wheat whicli was cut at any one of
four earlier stages of maturity, ac-
cording to the average results of
fourteen separate tests.
7. -Selections of seed made from
two varieties of winter wheat and
tested for six years produced average
annual results in bushels of grain
per acre, tons of straw per acre,
and pounds per measure bushel as
follows: Large plump seed -46.9
bushels, 2.6 tons, and 59.4 pounds;
Small plump seed -10.1 bushels, 2.2
tons, and 59.2 pounds; Shrunken
seed -39.1 bushels, 2.1 tons, ,and 59.3.
pounds; and Broken seed -9.3 bushels

8. -The average yields, less the
amount of seed used, from sowing
one busnel, one and one-half bushels',
and two bushele of each of two var-
ietiee of winter wheat per acre in
each of six years, have been 39.7
bushels, 42.3 bushels, and 42.4 bush-
els per acre, respectively.

miles south of Guelph gave practical-
ly the same results as Ontario grown
seed in the average experiments of
10. -Winter wheat sown at the col-
lege during -the first ten days of Sep-
tember in each of nine years nas
yielded 5.2 bushels per acre more
than that sown from the 16th to the
20th of' September.
11. -The average results of sixteen
experiments, coVering a period of
eight years, Show that on well culti-
vated land winter wheat which was
drilmd in with a machine and that
which was sown broadcast by hand
gave practically the same yields 01
grain per acre.
12. --Winter whea,t gave Much better
satisfaction on clover sod than on

,13. -Land on welch field peas were
used as a green remain), yielded 6.5
bushels of wheat per acre more than
land on which buckwheat was used as
a giant manure, end 2,3 bushels per
acre more than land which was work-
,
ed as a bare fallow, in the average
of eight separate tests.

The deliberate use of a tool by a

A well-known. naturalist. Doctor.
Peel:111am, watched a wasp dig a hole
in the earth and deposit therein an
egg, together witli a spicier, which
she had stung ieto paralysis, to ,
feed the grub which should be hatch-
ed in due course. Then she filled" up
the hole with sand or earth, and
jamened it down with her head.
"When at last gee filling was level
with -the ground, she brought a quan-
tity of fine grains of dirt to tlie
spot, picked up a small pebble in her
mandibles, and used it as a hammer
in pounding them down with rapid
strokes, thus making this spot as
hard and firm as the sourrounding
surface; Before we could recover
from our astentsluneat at this per-
formance, she nad dropped her stone
and was bringing more earth. In a
moment we saw eer pick up the peb-
ble, and again pourid the earth into
place -with it. Once more the whole
process was repeated, and then, the
little creature flew away."
"The whole of this performence,"
writes Sir Herbert Maxwell, "ie- so
unexpected- teat even Doctor Peck,

bus observer neight fail to e011Vinea
