A RICE FIELD.
THE EQUIPMENT OF A PEANTA-
T108 IN THE SOUTH.
The Hands that. Are Required—
.Work on n Rice Field-
Sowing the Paddy—A
Succulent Post.
The equipment of a rice plantation
varies with its size audlocation. From
three hundred to five hundred acres is
about the average size. It scarcely pays
to cu‘tivatc less than one hundred acres.
On a place of average size. sufficiently
near a city or town. a rice mill is now a
rate adjunct. Previous to the war nearly
every large planter milled his own rice.
doing toll work as well for his neighbors.
Now it isfouud more convenient to -arry
the rough rice or paddy by boat to the
big steam mills in the nearest city.
‘A thresber. however. is necessary on
every plantation of any size. In addi-
tion to the common laborers who are cm-
ploycd by the day. and engaged and dis
charged as convenience requires. a well-
appointcd plantation generally has an
overseer. atrunk minder. who is always
acarpentcr. and a foicnrin or “leader”
for the negrocs, beside a few regular
bands to care for the stock. all of whom
are engaged by the month or year.
As many mules are necessary as on a
cotton plantation of the same sire: for
although at times they have nothing to
do an enjoy altogether an easy life,
nevqxtlicless. when they are wanted they
are wanted badly and in cons dcrahle
numbers. as is the case during “rolling

hurry through a certain process by a
given time. ‘

Imitation amber is being largely used
in Germany for themoutbpiecee of pipes,
owing to t e dearness and scarcity of the
real article. From time immemorial
amber has been chiefly found on the
Konigsberg coast of Prussia. partly by
dragging' and )artly by mining. The
Palmnicken Mines yield about 3.000
cwt. annually. and large pieces of amber
produce 830 per kilogram (two nude)
when taken from the mines. 03: of
this goes to Vienna. where the largest

A ll cent number of the J 1110 1 Wed";
Mu”! contains a. short account of a night
ascent of the active volcano Asain'iyama.
The part5 left Karnimwa in the after-
noon, an commenced the ascent from
the eastern side ab int sunset. The sky
was perfl ctly clear. and the summit was
rciched an hour before midnight. The
wind. blowing from the south. carried
the sulpliiirons vapor away to the north
ward. and thus the ascent was made less
uncomfortable. The party saw quite to
the bottom of the crater. which re»
seated the appearance of a furnace fi led
with glowing coals. The sound of the
roaring. hissing. and bubbling is de«
scribed as loud and awful. The walls of
the crater arc of a light brown colonaud
are composed of successive layers marked
out with striking regularity like the seats
in an amphitheatre. Allowing ten of
these layers to each interval of twenty
feet. the depth from the surface to the
incandescent matter would appear to be
200 feet. The periphery of the crater is
about half a mile. although the Japanese
calculate it at two miles and a. half.
