THE MANGOSTEEN.
The species included in the genuṛ Garcinia aro a comparatively small but valuable group of oriental tropici economic plants,For, not only are the timbers furnished by the Garcinias well adapted for building-construction and furniture, but some of the tamarinds, the gam boga of commerce, as well as the much esteemed mangosteen of Malaya are among the products yielded by them. Of all these products the luxious mangosteon, which, by suniversal consent, has been admitted to be the most delicious of oriental fruits, is perhaps the best-known to the layman. In the sunny regions of the Wafayan sea-board where, for the major periton of the year, sunshine and shower regulatis alternate to result in a truly marvellous equability of climate the Garcinia mangoriana growi to perfection. Its arilacial cultivation in those regions as well as on the friable forms of the evergreen forests that follow the course of the rivers of the Peninsula has always been attended with considerable success For, within the favoured localities of its limited but indigenous distribution, few fruit-crop demand less attention in cultivation; „while, after it sovives the early stages of its growth, no operations of a cultural nature. beyond manuring require to be done for the maintenance of the crop.

THE HONGKONG • TELEGRAPH
PREDICTIONS THAT HAVE
KRRED.
It occasionally happens, sayer a, writer in Cassell's Magazine, that the predictions and theories of mathematicians and scientists are woefully upset and contradicted by actual re- sults. Every one is familiar, the writer pro ceeds, with the story of the editor who, in the day of Stephenson's early experiments in rail- ronding, predicted that a speed of more than 12 miles an hour by rail would be impractic able if for no other reason than that the human system would not withstand travelling at bigher rate of speed.
a
In the early days of steam navigatios, also, Dr. Larduer delivered an address before a scientific body, in which he maintained that transatlantic scam uavigation was impractic able, mainly because of the inability to provide room aboard ship for the cool that would be necesary for the voyage. The meeting had scarcely adjourned before, the news arrived that a ship had just completed a transatlantic trip under team.
In another case a number of individuals se riously promulgated their belief that it would never r be possible to successfully lay a cable across the Atlantic, because, as they said, the density of the water below a certain depth would be so grent that the cable srould not sink to the bed of the ocean. Regardless, however, of these predictions, the cable promptly rank to the bottom of the sea At that time also, it may be noted, the greatest ncena depths in which cables were laid was only about 16,404ft. Within the past year a cable has been successfully faid by a German company in the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of the Luikin Islands at'a depth of 26,246ft.

and sown with the edible pulp adhering,
If the seeds are sucked prior to sowing them, the warmth of the mouth, as well the scouring action of the tongue, exert an injurious in Auence upon their soft membranous seed coats, which it is essential should be maintained in as unimpaired acondition as possible. Möre- over, the decay through fermentation of the pulp surrounding thefreeds seis up a beneficènt , stimulative action not only upon the seed-coat
· itself but also'upon the germinating embryn The seeds ordinarily germinate in a fortnight from sowing, though some have been known to sprout in a week, while others aynin take a month or even more. They should be sown about a foot apart in nursery beds that are four feet wide and of the most convenient length. About 175 seedlings could be raised in a bed forty feet long and four feet wide. Through out the one year during which the' seedlings remain in the nursery, the beds should be daily watered as well as occasionally heavily manur. ed with farm-yard manare or vegetable mould The manure should be carefully raked in be tween the seedlings, which. by the bye, are extremely sensḥive to bending, breakage or other injury.
Well-grown 'seedlings would be at least a foot in height at the close of the year and bear from four to six leave each.. At the commence. ment of the south-west monsoon, the seedlings should be remned from the nursery beds and planted out in' pils previously prepared on the plantation. These pits are best excavated al distances of 10 l. from one another, and should
be located in, opes, well-drained loamy land. They should each be 3 ft, square and 3 ft deep, and be filled in with surface soil, vegetable mould and cattle droppings worked up to a friable and fine degree of tilth. In planting, care abould be taken to see that every
transplant occupies the centre of the pit in which it is pul out; for, the species being a surface foeder, the fullest facility should be afforded it for developing its feeding- roots evenly around it. The plants should be shaded with light bamboo-and-grans fatties placed horizontally over each plot and sup- ported upon bimboo uprights 6 ft. high, This shade should be given directly the trans- plants are put gut, and be maintained for at least one year. The latties may be removed when there is rain as well as at night and in the cooler parts of the day. The plants should also be copiously watered throughout the warmer months of the year for at least two years after they are put on.

The mangosten plant has been known to bear fruit in theffth year from planting out or in the sixth from germination. At this age it ordinarily attains to a height of 10 ft. and a basal girth of 13, and its crown, which is forme ed low on the balò, casts a cover of about soft. in diameter. The yield of fruit-varies with
locality as well care in manuring and general cultivation ; but it usually is small and contin- ues to be poor until the plant reaches its tenth year. Again, the cailler fruits are small and Irregularly developed and cortale very few pulpy seeds. Thus, the number, size, shape and flavour of the fruit are improved only with advancing years; but, even in young crops, considerable improvement could be effected by bury periodic manuring nod watering. A healthy plant in its tenth year is capable of yielding from two to three hundred mangosteens vulted at from Rs. 3 to Rs. 5 par hundred An acro stocked with plants sanding, at distances of zo ft. from one another would hold at least too plants. And if, at the end of the tenth year, they yield, on an average, 200 fruits each, valued at the
· rate of Ka, 4 per hundred, the plantation would yield an approximate income of Rs. 8oo. species is well adapted for cultivation in all localities withheavy rainfall, n foamy soil, and enjoylag freedom from frost. It luxuriates in bright and vigorous sunshine and demands plenty of light for its most perfect develop. ment. The sail, however, should be moist and well-dmined. It would appear to be well suit ed for economic cultivation on the Malabar Coast, the lowlands of Ceylon, Assam, Lower Burma, as well as in such other regions of the East as spontaneously support evergreen for eats of broad-ligved species. It is best grown as a pure crop, unmixed with species other than lisaki-Aladros Maji,

Notwithstanding that instances of this kind uld be multiplied, there are rtill to he found, the writer days, people ready to write them! selves down in posterity as erring prophets, and as it will doubtless be to the end of the chapter.
GIANTS DINNER.
There was an interested crowd of speclatbir at Euston Station the other afternoon when Machnow, the Russian giant, arrived from Liverpool. Machnow confesses to a decided preference for London audiences.
A. new
motor omnibus was in waiting in the station
yard to convey the ginnt to his quarters, Three hundred and sixty pounds is not the average weight, and nine feet 2 inches is not the or dinary height of an, everyday "fare." As he stepped from the saloon to the platform his wilk hat just reached the roof of the carriage. Siwly he threaded his way through the crowd to the conveyance drawn up alongside the train: It had been arranged that he should make a tour round London, tak ng in a trip on theBakerloo" Railway and a visit to the Zpo. Machnow, however, was tired, and not in favour of the suggestion.. A straight journey was therefore made to the Hippodrome, where special arrangements have been made for his stay. On arrival he was photographed with his wife, and then directed his attention to dinner. The menu was as follows: Six mut ton chops, ten eggs, two loaves of bread, six pints of beer, one pint of milk, one large pud. dink one pint of coffee.
