CHAPTER II.—.(Continetede
"Man doomed to destruotion!" cried
Segest fervently, and starting to •his
feet, "listen to one whi has continued
so fast a friend. to Rome that almost
every German has become his foe. Go
forward, the ruin thou. seamiest slaall be
so complete, that not even the few co-
horts thou. speakest of shall survive.
Away in tee far distance the tribes
are silently mustering, and. they only
wait until thou bast entered the snare.
Alia who but Hermann has been the
author of so unheard-of a union axnong
our people? To the dauntless boldness
of his own race he adds the wisdom and
subtle arts of Italy; and like a view-
less spirit his path has been through
every tribe, and his whisper in every
ear, while the chiefs have become hi$
willing vassals. If thou • wilt yet on-
ward, then begin by throwing the con-
spirator and the leaders at GermanY
into claniu.s, so that the hopes of the
rebellious may be frustrated, and after-
ward thou shalt here leisure to deteet
and. punish tlie guilty. Up, then I seize
and bind; and let these withered arms
be the first to reeeive thy fetters! 1
win endure bondage as frankly as T.
have suffered wounds for the safety of
my People artd the welfare of my coun-
try."

his strange request, a, voice of earnest
entreaty was heard from one of the

er than in it single factory. All the
. gm:animas plants, such, as beans, peas
and clover, require a great deal of
nitrogen, and it was of special inter-
est to provide them artificially, if pos-
sible, with this important constituent.
The mystery was dispelled by it re-
cent discovery that the roots of plants
capable of absorbing nitrogen bear lit-
tle protuberances, and It is through
these protuberances that the nitrogen
is taken in. Further study with the
help of the microseope revealed the
fact that the protuberances contain
millions of bacteria, and. that it is theme
baoeerta that ausorb the nieregen and

the activity of these beneficent baoteriae
plants—particularly leguminous plants
—owe their vigor and perhaps them ex-
istence in their present form. The
plant life, in this view, is a4 result,
an incidental products, of the vital pro-
cesses of microbes, million of which
could swim with cotntort itt
sbips of the White Star line tvere botlt
bere, including tbe famous Teutonic and
Majestic. The laxg•est vessel for com-
raercial prupostes afloat was completed
at Belfast last year. She is now en-
gaged in the cattle trade, and carries
the enormous burden of 10,000 tons. Sev-
eral gunboats and torpedo boats •have
also been built by Messrs. Harland &
Wolft for the navy; and, cruisers and
battleships have been engined by them.
And we. do -not hear of that accident ect
common in the English fleet, the break -
(10W11 of machinery, ever occurring to
those, ships which laa,ve got their ma-
chinery in Belfast.
Nothings in the nature of "shoddy"
ever comes from Ireland, in fact. That
is why the Canadian, in. his Irisb frieze
coat and Donegal stockings, defies the
winter; why" Balbriggan" hose—a doz-

Guinness's brewery hardly needs des-
cription. It is probably the best exist-
ing proof that all Ireland needs to make
her a great industrial nation is a few
dozen men of capital and energy. No
commercial company in the world can
show such a record as that ot Guinness's
during. the past,,tenyears. The enor-
blood, aLthough it shines like the
gold of the strangers in the light of

presented the spacious drinking -cup
which he had. so often emptied daring
the banquet.
This was too much even for the grav-
est, and a universal peal of mirth)
shook the drapery of the tent, and
startled the sentinels at. the entrance.
In the meaxitime the exhausted speak-
er released into his seat, and seemed
to ponder upon his fancied bliss with
a bewildered look. Varus turned to Se -
gest, who had been regarding tbe in-
terruption and its effects with. unut-
terable disdain, and said to him, "Be -
bold, Segest, how the matter ends, as
it ought to do—in mirth and jest. If
there be truth in wine, such men can-
not be false—et least they can forna
no 'plot that would. be, too deep for as
to fathom, Resume, then, thy place at
the board, and give these idle fears to
the winds."
"It may not be," replied the) chief-
tain mournfully: "1 return to ray home
and my people. There I shall cele-
brate the obsequies of thee and thy
army, and prepare to resist the con-
queror." These words were spoken in
a voice umbe,ard by any but Varna,
but in spite of their impressiveness they
produced no effect upon the general.
Casting a parting look upon tble as-
sembly, as men Whom he should never
again uphtold, and covering ais face with
his shaggy cloak to conceal his grief,
the old man strode away, and was soon
lost in the distant obscurity.
M.
The warning of Segest had been in
vain. On the morning that succeeded
the, banquet the tents were struele, the
beasts of burden were laden, and
the Roman army consisting of three
veteran legions and six coheres, be-
sides sereral large bodies of pea-
vinelee Gauls and auxiliaxy Germans,

The next stee was to isolate, by meth-
ods with whicb bacteriologists are fa-
miliar, the varieties of bacteria suit-
ed to each crop, o.nd to breed them ar-
tifieially in paying quantitie,s.
This has been done. A German firm
breeds seventeen species of bacteria of
the nitrogen -absorbing epecies and sells
them to agriculturists in bottles under
the name of "nitragin."A bottle con-
taining some thousand billions of the
useful bacteria and selling for $1,25,
will "inoculate," it is seed, an acre of
ground. The experience of farmers with
"nitragin" is too brief to qualify them
to speak with eertainty of its prac-
tical utility. Some have obtained en-
couraging results, while others have
not. It has been on the market less
than a year and began to be used too
late in the season for a fair test. "Ni-
tragin" ought to be used adore it is
two months old, and its vitality is im-
paired, if not wholly lest, when it is
four months old. It must be kept in
c,00l place, and is best applied, per-
haps, at night, since it is injured by
exposure to the light. Its function is
I to assist germinating seeds and small
I seeds and small roots to put forth the
desired protubeta.nces.
It is accordingly useless for growing
plants, tend in soils already -well suppli-
ed. with nitrogen in tne required form.
Under favorable conditions ;several ex-
perimenters have obtained, it is said,
exoellent results. Cereals have not been
found susceptible to its influence to an
appreciable extent. Much remeies to be
determined as to the extent of tts util-
ity, It is yet undecided, it seems, whe-
ther the seed or the soil is to be inoc,-
ulated—whether the seed should be
mixed with gelatine containing the "ni-
t ragin," or whether the "nitre gin"
should be mixed with a. -malty of
son and the letter sc.attered over the
area to be treated. In any case, agricul-
turists have en nitragin an interesting
subject of experiment.
