Uncle Tom's Cabin.

As the Pilot goes to press on its last side (Friday noon) the renowned Davis Uncle Tom's Cabin company are parading the streets. They put up the best appearance of any like attraction ever billed here; their pharaphanalia being gorgeous and their band superb. They will have and deserve a large audience. It is said Chicago parties are buying up the creameries in Wisconsin. a fact, if it is a fact, that shows the substantial prosperity of the dairy. Minnesota farmers who have Russian thistles are compelled by law to destroy them, or suffer a fine. The county commissioners set a day on which the work must be done.

White and Yellow Corn.

In order to settle the much disputed question whether the yield of corn is affected by color the Mississippi experiment station has made 138 tests with 45 varieties of Dent corn. As a result of this work the 75 tests with 25 white varieties have given an average yield of 43 bushels per acre, while the 63 tests with 20 yellow varieties have given an average of only 38,2 bushels per acre. These total averages coincide very closely with the partial results published in several of the annual reports, and which were as follows: In 1890 the yield of 17 white varieties was 44.6 bushels per acre, while 15 yellow varieties gave 37.1 bushels; in 1891, 25 white varieties yielded 37.5 bushels, while 18 yellow varieties yielded 34.9 bushels pei- acre; in 1892 the yield of 11 white varieties was 45.2 bushels, while the same number of yellow varieties gave only 40.5 bushels per acre; in 1893 and 1894 the tests were continued with 22 white varieties, yielding 42.7 bushels, and 19 yellow varieties, yielding 39.1 bushels per acre. During each year of this work the two varieties giving the heaviest yields were both white, though not always the same varieties. These results have been so unifrom and have indicated so strongly that the better yield can usually be secured from white varieties that the puplished records of similar work done at other stations have been examined very carefully and have been found to correspond very closely with the results secured at this station. These figures show that in a total of 1,267 tests with 490 varieties, the average yield of 217 white varieties has been 2.5 bushels per acre in excess of the yield of 273 yellow varieties, and that at only one of the seven stations making these tests have the yellow varieties given the better average yield. At six of the seven stations some one white variety has given the best yield, and of the 35 varieties named as

A novel plan for a sub-sidewalk railroad, to take the place of elevated roads for rapid transit, has been designed by a Chicago inventor. The road, as its name implies, is to be built under the sidewalk of the street, the space required being only eight feet in width by eight feet in hight. At the curb line a wall Is laid from one end of the street to the other. Under the other side of the walk the curb wall is parallel with a stone foundation for posts and a fence. On this foundation and on the base of the curb wall rails are laid. Iron columns are set on the inner wall suportlng girders level with the top of the curb wall and marking the line between the sidewalk proper and the socalled area space. A wire fence connects the posts and separates the railroad from the area space. This space will be for stairways and entrances to basements. With the curb-wall, girders and bases of buildings for support, a prismatic walk is laid for the purpose of admitting light into the space below. Electricity is to be the motive power. The speed, the plan sets forth, will not be less than thirty miles an hour, and may in some cases be as high as sixty miles an hour. One of the advantages claimed for the road is that it will convert the basements of buildings into valuable property. This and other circumstancses, it is believed would ma£e the property owners readily give their consent to the construction of the road. It ought to be patent to every southern and western democrat that voting for a free silver congressman to make a free silver coinage law, and at the same time voting for a gold bug president that will veto it, is one way of settling the silver question that leaves it very much unsettled. An exchange says that one of the reasons for maintaining a navy is to protect our missionaries in foreign lands. That’s the doctrine! Cram our religion down their throats. If they dc \’t take it without kicking shoot the gizard out of ’em. What we need is a big navy to convert the heathen Isaac Glazebrook employs in his blacksmith, horseshoeing and wagon repairing shop more workmen than any other like establishment in Jasper county.
