The seventh triennial meeting of this body will be held in St Petersburg this vear. The previous session have been: Philadelphia ( inaugural 1. isTti; Paris (first eongiess), 1S?H; Houlogne, 1SH; Berlin, 1HS5; London, lbss; Washing ton, 18111; (ieueva, 1kJ. In each country special endeavors have been made to make the reunion as interest ing and as agreeable as possible, extend ing to visiting members every facility for studying the prominent physical and geological features of the country they were visiting. The actual Congress is to take place at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, from August SSUli to September 4th August 17th to 23 I, O. S. The questions to be discussed have not yet been decided upon, but whatever they may be, a room will be set aside for an exhibition of geological maps, profiles, books, collections, in stilments, etc., and arrangements have been made so that all objects intended for this exhibition and addressed "Russia, St. Petersburg, Exposition dii Congress (teologiipie International," will bo delivered at St. Petersburg without being submitted to any cus toms inspection, and will be unpacked in the presence of a delegate of the or ganizing committee. Furthermore, such instructions have been given to the Russian representatives in foreign countries, that on presentation of the card of membership the vise of pass ports will be facilitated, and moreover, the same card shown at a Russian port or frontier will render the customs in spection us easy as possible. Then, again, all geologists who have paid their stibcriptiou will obtain a non-transferable ticket, giving them the right to travel first-class on the Russian and Finland railway free of cost. The ex cursion arranged, both to precede ami succeed the meeting, include a visit to the Ourals, or to Ksthonia, or to Finland, before the meeting, and to the Caucasus and Crimea after the meeting. Kflei t nf the Itu.T nil Air. At a recent meeting of the Royal So ciety of Edinburgh, Lord Kelvin read a communication on 'The Klectrilication of Air bv Roentgen Rays, ' the out- 1 come, he said, of some experiments which had occupied his attention for ) some 1 ths. The primary object of j these investigations, of theoretical j value only, was to ascertain the action of Roentgen rays upon electrified air; that is, to see whether the rays had any 1 electrifying effect on the air. In every case the experiments showed that air ! which had not been p evioiisly electri tied was negatively electrified, and air 1 that was positively electrified having 1 been submitted to the action of A-rays , was found to be either not electrified at all or slightly negatively electrified. Thus it will be seen that X-rays have a lecided electrifying action, positively clcctrilicd air losing its (sisitive charge, and sometimes acquiring instead a neg ative charge.

This Is espiv'.ally necessary for bums and peas. If workiil when the leaves are wet. tt will produce ruM and Injure the crop at lcot one-third Its yield. Root Crops... lteets, parsnips and ear rots should he dress.il out with the wheel or htind hoe as soon as the plants have made the fourth leaf. The ground should not lie dug up, but only scrnpisl up-JiiM enough to cut nil the weeds away from the plants. The hoes should be ground sharp. With a good Mtvl hoe the young weeds can lie cut close up to the plants very rapidly. This work jdioiild be done ticfore the weeds have liecoine deoply rooted. Onions. When the onion bulbs com ineiice to swell take a scythe and cut the tops off about one-third. The cut ting of the tops will throw the strength Into the roots. After the third work ing, draw the earth nway from the bulbs, leaving the onions fully ex posed. Hunch Reims and Late Teas. These should be sown every two weeks, plow the ground deeply and harrow It finely: run the rows out at least six Inches deep and scatter about half au Inch of Hue hotbed manure or barnyard scrap lugs In the bottom of the furrow. If the ground should be dry, water the furrow well; then sow the seed and cover lu ut once. Asparagus. The asparagus shoots should be allowed to grow after the mouth of Mav. If the bed Is cut over tis often It weakens the roots mate rially, and If the season should be a dry oue these weakened roots will die out. Rhubarb.-The young rhubarb roots require clean and frciiiciit eiillivatloa. If the leaves turn yellow It Is a sign that the soli Is poor. Spread around each root a xs'k of line manure, and w ith the inaddiM k dig it in. i Khllhfirl) riant. ' About nlniost every farmhouse en 11 j lie found an old. neglected row of rhu barb plants from which a few cuttings i are made lu spring for samv or pies, j The sourness and oftentimes rank Ma ; vor of these old rows of pieplant, as it j Is otherwise called, make a little go a ! good way In most households, for after I two or tluve cuttings the plants are I usually almudoned and allowisl to go to seed. This Is all wrong. A good variety of rhubarb Is worthy of lielng eaten the year around. Inst.-n.l of keeping 011 with the poor kind, send for a package of rhubarb seed nf one of the Improved sorts, such as Myatt's Victoria, and sow It In a garden row. The plants will come from scd as read ily as carrots or !-ets and mostly true to their kind, and the second season cuttings can Ik' made freely. Cut off seed stalks as they apis-ar and keep the ground free from weeds and well cullivntiMl. If the rhubarb Is given a garden row, this cultivation will come lu with the regular garden cultivation and will give no trouble. Many farm ers' families do not appear to realize that rhubarb can lie hal In winter as w el as summer. CixikisI, as for sauce, either sweetened or unsweetened, and sealed In glass Jars, It will .keep ier feetly, anil will be greatly relished In the middle of winter. Agriculturist. Inmire Your Hams. Before the harvest Is gathered, see that you have placed a reasonable I11 mi ranee on the barn, out buildings con nected with the barn and on the hay harraeks lu the tlelds. Have the amount ! of insurance specllled and written out lu the policy on i nch building Insured; then have the stock Insured, the wag ons, carriages and farm tools: and then the bay, grain and provender. The rate of Insurance Is 4.1 cents per $list lu a good stock company, and In a mu tual company much lower. There should he no delay lu this matter, nor should there be any mistake made lu placing the Insurance upon the right buildings. With the Iiest of care the barn may be burnt down by accident, and without an Insurance the labor of years Is lust lu a few ho.us. A yearly Insurance should be bad. The Ameri can. DirrctinK Hired Help, Laborers earn more when they are kept at one kind of business through out the day. If they are diris-ted or permitted to go from Held to Held, or from one kind of business to another, they will not always give a good ac count of their day's work. It Is a good practice to let our work by the Job when It can be done. Then the man feels that he Is at work for hlmsclf nud, of course, he w ill do more work than he would for 11 not her num.

The seed needs so long s time to germinate that weed sissls which have Ihvii soaking lu the ground all winter get the start and make it a ilillicult crop to care for. We have al ways found It an advantage to soak the seed until It was heglunlng to sprout. At Ilrt It should lie put In water 11s hot as the hand can liear. and so kept tlft minute. This will lie enough to wet through the outside cov ering, and will thus ha-teu germina tion. When the seed Is planted especial care should he taken to compact thv soil closely around It.- Kxcbange.

Hut the evil may Ik1 remedied by drawing a few yard of stable manure and spreading over the knolls. The manure not only protects the young clover plant, but It also holds the moisture In the soil, hy eluvk ' Ing evaHiratloii. This will soon make them as rich as any part of the Held. It Is usually the lack of clover seeding on such places that keeps them poor. Thin the Krait KhtIt. Where thinning of fruit Is known to be necessary, the earlier the work Is done the belter. It is very liiiMirtant to have the sap all turned to the fruit that Is Intended to be left to make a crop. Fruits that are likely to fall early, nnd thus thin themselves, may be left till this self thinning has Im-cii partly accomplished. Hut when three and sometimes four buds for clusters of grapes are seen ou a young shoot, It is always safe to thin them to two. The fruit will be finer and better. Ashea far Tear.

The Orange JuM Farmer makes an j fatimate ol the prospective yield of winter and spring wheat, placing it at 1 615,000,000 bushel, somewhat lower than lb fotmcr estimate from other sources. The real stimulus to the tn.tr- , kct at prc-ctit i the unsciMiiiable weather that has prevailed in the Northwest for the past two weeks, and if the wheat crop has recently lieen as n.idiy it.imageil by trust as it is claimed, we w ill see a sharp advance as soon u this fact is fully determined. We are inclined to look for further ad vance under the prevsiling conditions.
