In discussing the telegram the hiirman said It was his intention to find out e.tactlv where the fault lay.

The pictures composing the collection kept at the Hermitape palace were removed immediately after the first revolution, the one which drove the Romanoffs from

their throne, to Vologda and Nijnyj

Novporod, by order of the provisional government. The crown jewels also have been put in a place of safety, the name of which no far has not been made public. In regard to the latter, various rumors are afloat. There is. however, one thlnp which Unfortunately is true, and t'nt is that different curiosities which had been kept in glass cases In the long pallery borderinp on the Hermitape ballroom have been either destroyed or stolen. Among these curiosities there was a larpe life-sized silver peacock, with a tail composed of enamel and precious stones, that used to spread out by an ingenious mechanism, and that was always admired during the select and small balls which were given in the Hermitage palace at the time of the reign of Emperor Alexander III. This peacock had a story, and tradition would have it that it had been sent by Queen Elizabeth of Knpland to John the Terrible, but I must acknowledge that this tradition was believed in only by a very few, and that connoisseurs ascribed a much later date as the one whn this wonderful bird was manufactured. Some people asserted that it was the work of a I-Yeneh, and not of a a English artist. This peacock was standing ..ione in its case, quite at the end of the gallery' in a kind of sma'I room into which were lined by other glass

presented it afterward to the town, addinp generously to this princely pift that of a house in which these treasures could be preserved. At present the Tretiakoff pajlery, as it is called, is one of the wonders of Mos ow, and no traveler ever visits the old capital of the ancient czars without spendinp an hour or two in the museum and seeking there inspiration as well as knowledge. In its way, the Tretiakoff gallery is as remarkable a thing as Moscowhas, and can be ranked beside the different shrines, churches and palaces that make of this town something so unique and so totally different from everything one sees anywhere else. It is to be hoped that it did not suffer from recent events and that it has remained just as it was before the revolutionary outbreak, which it seems has damaged the Kremlin, together with the cathedral of St. Basil and the famous belfry of Iwan Weliki.

Among them could be seen three wonderful aigrettes of large diamonds and sapphires that had once belonged to prince Potemkine. the famous favorite of Catherine II, and one of which had been a present to him from the sultan.

A sandy loam with plenty of wellrotted manure incorporated in the soil is well adapted to the production or muskmelons. The muskmelon is a heat-loving crop, requiring a long growing season, about four months, and cannot be planted until the ground has become warm. For this reason it is useless to attempt to grow the muskmelon in sections where the growing season is not sufficiently long or where the temperature is not uniformly high. The northern portion of the United States is not suited to the growing of this crop for the reason cit3i above. f It is advisable to start the plants in berry boxes, or on sods in the hotbed, transferring these to the open r .und after the ground has become . arm. In this way considerable time can be saved and much better results obtained. It is a good plan to place plenty of well-rotted manure 'n the hills, which should be about 6 feet apart. Sulricient seed should be planted so that four good strong plants may be had in each hill. Another plan is to sow in drills in rows 6 or 7 feet apart, thinning the plants until they are from IS inches to 2 feet apart In the rows. Cultivation should be frequent and thorough until the v'.nes begrn ?o run. After this the cnly cultivation required is to keep weeds down. Muskmelons are liable to be attacked hy several diseases and have at least one serious insect enemy. For information on the control of

insects and diseases affecting the muskmelon refer to Farmers' Bulle- !
