Yet, with all 'poesible effort, it seems beyond human. Power to make any a the rarer gems whieh are dug from the depths of the earth.

Be can get sufficient heat, but the pros - sure is beyond human appliance, The essence of all animal life is protoplasm. The white of an egg is almost pure protoplasm, By mining together in the proper proportioes four simple elements the experiment, er can produce a substance which is chemically the same as protoplasm. The same, and yet entirely different, for the mixture is without life, and no amount of warming or electrify- ing can give it the life which eyen a humble shellfish enjoys in. such perfection. The siraplest known form of life, the amoeba, appears to be nothing but a little blob of proto- plasm. 'Yet it has life which the cleverest man cannot give to • HIS IMITATION COMPOUND. • You can make artificial blood, but you cannot make your product act itt the same way ae the blood which is in the veins of a living creative.

They are so tiny that, were a drop of water to bo inagnieed to the size of this earth, the molecules it contains would even then appear no larger than cricket- • balls. •No one has ever yet succeed- • ed in isolating a molecule.

There are several natural substances which man is constantly • endeavoring to imitate. One, indigo, • has lately been successfully copied • by a German scientist. His inten- tion spells ruin to our indigo -grow- • ins industry in India. The two on which efforts are at present most strongly concentrated are inclitirub- . ber and guttapercha Of both these indispensable materials the natural sapply utterly fails to meet the de- mand. The world produces less than 230,000 hundredweight of indiarub- ber yearly, and couid use double this amount. As for guttnpercha, its properties as a perfect Leolator for electric cables and as a material for golf balls have increased the demand so greatly that its price has risen • enormously in the past few years.

TESTING NEW INVENTIONS EXPERIMENTS THAT COST BIG FORTUNES, •.•••••••411 3.0rokring an Old Ironclad to Pieces-- Submarines Forty Years ,Ago. The ordinary testing of a twelve - inch rifled cannon for one of our large fronclads meets upwards of $5,000. Not only is the cost of the powder and great steel projectiles to be eonsidered, but the target is in- variablyof ilarvotieed, or other- wise hardened, armor -plate and is in itself frequently worth from $1,000 to $1,$00. The /met expensive experiment o this kind in recent times was the use of the old ironclad “13elleisle" as a target. On the starboard side sli war given a six-inch armoured belt like that possessed by the cruisei "Drake," On the port side a com plete belt of four-ana-a-halfinch ar- mour made the old craft resemble a cruiser of the "ICent" elass. The cost of this operation WAS AB our so 0.000. After her preparation as target. the poor old ship was exposed to • a storm of steel projectiles.. Sixteen 850 -pound stalls, 180 from the six- inch guns, 860 twelve -pounders, and 540 •three poundeas were poured up- on her. In eight and a half minutes she was practically destroyed. The cost of the am.munition expended on her was $23,200. The cost of • the whole experiment was nearly $150,- 000. Since then the shattered old hulk has been ratted, and a siiiiilar experiment estimated to cost $210,- 000 will be carried out. ' Testing new inventions frequently proves to be as or more costly thole constructing them, Not only money, but lives, have been lavished in the testing of submarine vessels. The French submarine "Triton" was re- cently ordered to dive and remain below water for ten hours. After a time the temperature in the tiny craft rose to 14.0 degrees Fahrenheit, and, in addition to this appalling heat, the air became sulphurous from the fumes giveit off by the working engines. Three men were utterly prostrated, and one afterwards died. •Prance has of 11re-re:doting plate -Jas, wish% it was resolved to make triel of. Tlien a Watch Wee put to this expensive boufire.

Bennett of the Shep- herd s Bulletin, Boston, Mass., under , date of April 25th, 1902, writes: ,I"Th e Pacific NertIlWest Wool Grow - ars' Association at its .meeting itt 1901, passed strong resolutions against the use of adulterants in e Woollen goods, and again tills year passed resolutions against the use of shoddy," Continuing, he adds, - "It is generally conceded that the Wool -growing industry is suffering serious injury from adulterant prac- tices 'in the manufacture and sale of 'woollen goods inasmuch fal such goods contain 60 per cent. and even neore of shoddy, Op other substitutes for wool." Peruvian cotton worth 111, cents is used very largely with, wool worth 40 cents per pound scoured, • which makes the price of the combination, if mixedin equal shares, 27* cents, being a reduction in the price of about 15* cents. The manner of us- ing these adulterants has been so thoroughly :manipulated that the • quality of the goods until exposed to the sun or weather, is almost idea - tical with that ef goods made of • Pure wool; the manufacturers mak- ing wool substitutes having increas- ed very largely within the last three years. We have seen samples of woollen, goods 90 per cent. substi- tute or cotton; other samples 50 per cent, cotton, 30 per contshod- dy, and 2.0 per cent. wool and the 'same, as far as mere appearance is concernee, ISgOWED UP VERY WELL. I Mr. Japes McNaughton, of New York city, who has had an exten- sive experience in connection with wool and its uses, in a recent come nnmication to the United .States Departnient of Agriculture, says: I "We all know that the adulteration I of wool is very extensively and suc- tessfully carried on, and while none tof us approve of the misrepresenta- tion as to what the goods are, yet tbe fact remains that it is better for 501110 pOOD1O to have an article with 50 per cent. or 30 per cent. or even. 15 per contof wool, than not to be able to affonk an article with any wool." In' an editorial reference to the ,Shepherd's Bulletin. of July, ,1900, the writer calls attention. to the fact that notwithstanding the actual and estimated falling off in the output of Australian, South Af- ricaii and South American wool, amounting in the aggregate to 175,- 000 bales of wool, there, was a tre- mendous decline in prices in the Lon. - don market, with no certainty that •'the end was in sight. The writer n.dels: "Undoubtedly a given amount of wool goes farther to -day than ever before, by reason of the growing use of substitutes, particu- larly cotton. If some persons have discovered that the statistical pro- portion of wool is exceptionally strong, the fact can, be largely offset by the more assertion that the nee of wool has been tremendously dis- placed in the lest few years by cot- toh. We do not mean that cotton has been used in, wool fabrics in small amounts; we mean that wool- len fabrics are in INNUMERABLE INSTANCES now composed for the larger, part of cotton. if our readers will • par- don the apparent contradiction of terms." I think I have put sufficient infor- mation before you to prove that the adulteration of wbollen goods, or shall T say the manufacture of spur- ious goods sold as woollexi goods is a large and growing practice and that it behoves everyone interested • in the future Df sheep husbasidry and the clothing of the masses of the peo- ple With honest woollen garments, to take up the question thoroughly and endeavor to formulate and carry a, legislative enactment which shall place the business on an honest ba- sis, and ensure that goods containing admixtures of shoddy, mango, cot- ton, or other foreign material shall be sold as such. ALFRED H.A.NSELL. Shrewsbury, Eng. ALREAD• Y SPENT 54,000,000 in submarines, and has not yet hit upon a really satisfactoey vessel. But France has got off cheaply compared with those who experi- mented with submarines forty years ago. In 1863 the Southern States, then in the midst of their struggle against the North, built a submarine called the "David," and sent • her out in the harbor of Charlestown for trial. As sbe may at her pier Waves from a passing •steamer swept over her. She sank like a stone, drowning her crew of five. The "David" was raised, and refitted for a' second trial trig. She dived, and never came' up again. They dredged her up and emptied her of ner dead, and tried a, third time. Torty lives were Jost and $300,000 spent before the "David" was at' last readerede navigable. Then • she eank the "Housatonic," one of the enemy's irenclads, with a torpedo, and per- ished with her sinking enemy. At Tunis there recently occurred a railway collision in which three lives were lost. The driver of one' of the engines was indicted for mans/augh- ter, but there was a disagreement aS to how far he was to blame. Anidous to prove himself in the right, the man begged that he might be. allow- ed to take a, train over the same line in the presence of experts, and so show that the disaster was • DUE TO PURE ACCIDENT. This was agreed to. Tee driver mounted his engine and started it. By same, extro ordinary mischance the brakes refused to act, and the train dashed down a steep incline and was derailed, doing damage to the extent of abont $10,000, the'unfortunate driver and his fireman being killed on the •spot. This is not the lately time that a similar experiment has ended in dis- aster. A new form of traction en- gine was being tested in 1397, near Munich, in Germany. The inventor had spent his entire fortene of about $35,000e in perfecting the engines and invited a large number of en- gineerf 'and others, to watch. it climbs a steep hill near the town, hauling a heavy load. Half way up tbeahill the engine crane to a stop, and then began to move backwards. The trucks behind had z;ot been fit- ted with brakee, and the engine's brakes were not sufficient to hold 'them up. Before they could be un- coupled trucks and engine were roaring backward e down the hill at terrible speed. They dashed into a house near the bottom, and brought the whole building down, killieg woman and two cbildren, and doing damage to the extent of hundreds of dollars. The engine itself was .utter - 13r 'wrecked, and its inventor, in de- spair, committed suicide. - Last April 6th an •eVeriment, which proved very expensive, toolt place at PalaiSetee, near Paris. A FLYING MACHINE, modelled on the Duce of teat of Saritos-Dumont, was tried. A strong gale was bIoviing, but MM. Les - segue and Thibaut, the inventors, rasolved to go up. %The balloon was inflated, when a bystander, fearing disaster, attempted to'release the cord of the escape -valve. Thibaut sprang at the valve, and attempted to stop the deflation. Just then a terrific gust came Swooping down, and all the cords broke.

Too much importance cannot bo given to the value of humus in the growth of crape and in t,he main- tenance of fertility. it is the 114- tural storehouee aad keeper of nit- rogen in the soil, an element which is the most expensive of all plant foods when it becomes necessary to purchase it in 'commercial fertilizers. Humus furnishes tlae food upon which the soil micro-organisnas live, and. •which by their life feactions convert its organic nitrogen into nitratee. et possesses considerable amounts of the mineral food con- stituents. These, in the further de- composition • of tlae humes-a pro- cess continually going on in sum- mer -are libeeatecl in forms avail- able to growing crops, and from re- cent experiments and research by Prof. Shutt, chemist, of the Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, there is reason to beligve that the mineral humatos furnish a large proportion of the potash, lime, and so on, used by crops. Then humus serves to increase the a.bsorptive and retentive • power of soils for moist- ure. ,regulates and protects against extremes of soil tempera- ture. It opens up and mellows heavy soils. serves to material- ly diminisit the loss of fertilizing elements by drainage, and thus per- manently improves light soils in the best way. Thus it is evident that huneus should be regarded as a soil component of a very high order. • The relation of humus; content to nitrogen present itt soils of similar' origin under .similar meteorological conditions is practically constant. It has been noticed, too, that the amount of humus present gives an excellent though not an infallible in- dication of the amount of organic nitrogen possessed by the ion. It has, .also, been observed that as the humus disappears the nitrogen goes with it. Exposing. the substance of the soil to the air, as by our .ordin- ary methods • of .farming with the plow, harrow, and Sp on, tends to dissipate the humus, and, as a na- tural' consequence, to decrease the nitrogen. Soils growing grain ex- clusively every year lose more nitro- gen by this huinus oxidation than is removed in the crop, and this loss is greatest in those soils which are richest in nitrogen. Experiments at the Mitmesote, (U.S.A.) Experiment, Station showed that for every 25 pomade of nitrogen absorbed by the crop, grain following grain for a number of years, 146 pounds of nit- rogen were lost, due to oxidation of organic matter. These are facts that are of the ut- most import anee and Worthy of study • by farmers in Canada not only in the older provinces but also in those western areas which are overlaid by phenomenally fine soils, , During the past thirteen years a great many Canadian soils, both virgin and cultivated, have been ex- amined in the laboratories of our Experimental Farms. The 'soils thus ' examined have been representa- tive of large areas in every province. 'in the Dominion. Judged by the standards • accepted by• agricultural cherniets many soils in Canada proved fully as rice in plant food as the most; fertile soils of any part of the world, particularly those • soils in Manitoba and the Northwest Ter- ritoeies; and the .analyses by Prof. Shutt have proved them equal to the renowned black soil of Russia - . 711 all the other provinces there are virgin soils of more than average fertility, comparing most favorably With those of other countries. The ascertained amount of plant food .contained in an acre of soil taken to a. depth of 8 .inches, quantity that would weigh about 2,500,000 lbs., Prof. Shutt estim- ates, from laboratorical experiments to be, inour ricer soils, from 10,- 000 to 20,000 pounds of nitrogen; from 15,000 to 25,000 pounds of potash, and from 5,000 to 10,000 Pounds of phospboric acid. Simil- arly in soils of good average fer- tility he has found from 2,500 • to 5,000 pounds of nitrogen, from 5,- 500 to 11,000 pmmds of potash, and from 3,500 to 6,000 pounds of phos- phoric acid. While these vast stores of plant food are truly present, but a ,very elnali percentage of them is imme- diately available to plants, other- wise soils .Might soon become ex- hausted by the leaching of the food constitaients • below •the reach of Mots, and by the selfish pre,etices of farmers who would return nothaes to the soil. One rf the chief func- tions of mechanical processes for distributing', wile is to haStien the conversion of . inert Material into these More Valuable compounds .ale ready referred to: The principal ob- ject in applying manures and fer- tilizers is to add tO this store 'of. available Plant f ood The quantity of soluble 'food so •added is insigni- ficant compared with that already present in an insoluble state, but the increased yields resultieg fully demonstrate thata soil's prodeet- ivennee shotild be Measured by the amounts of its plant food Which aro more or lose 'evaiIable, rather than by the amounts of that shewn by the extraction by e •method of ail: - 6481e employing • strong mineral seeide, This view cannot be undUly emphasized, for it exPleins in a large degree tlie value of the clover crop as a fertilizer. The legumes, of which clover le a premixient member, have a source for their nitrogen other than and ad- ditional to that present in the eon. Tee careful researches of Hollriegel, Wilfarth, and other chemists, and the experimeats at the Exeerimental Palau at Ottawa, have ohown that the legumes obtain the nitrogen of the air eeisting in the intersticee bee tween the soil particles through the agency of certain eniero-organiseas present in the soil. These bacteria attach themselves to the roots of the growing clo-ver or other legume and form thereon nodules er tuber- cles. These nodule, warming with their couutiess inhabitants, are to be found in sizes varying from a pin's head to a pea, and frequently Scattered in vast numbers over the roots of the legume. When they are absent the clover, •es regards its nitrogenous • food, is in the same category as other plants. The nit- rogen elaborated by these microbes is passed on to the host plant and it is there .built up into the usual nitrogenous compounds of the tis- sues of the roots, stem, and leaves. 'Dhese facts represent the most im- portant discovery in agrieultural science a the nineteenth century. Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Aug., 1902. (Concluded in our next). TWO LETTERS.

Tn. many parts of North Wales sheepdogs tire employed, mainly by email farmers, in milk churning, and such work is carried out in a very novel way. The apparatus consists of a light wooden table, about Der feet itt diameter, placed at an angle of 45 degrees from the horizon, and revolving on a pivot. To give the animal a better foothold, narrow strips of board are fixed at close in- tervals across the outer etle.-,e of the table, and by placieg a paw against each of these narrow bisections the dog works the crude little machin- ery with apparent ease. An attempt was made some little time ago by means of legal proceedings, to bring the case of ono of thesa churning dogs to conviction for cruelty, but there Was, as the magistrates point- ed out, considerable difficulty in ad- judicating in the case, inasmuch as theee was no precedent upon the sub- ject. • After seeing the dog in ques- tion at work, and successfully turn- ing the milk into butter, the bench expressed the opinion thet though churning was not to the dog's in- stiact yet that of itself did not con- stituto cruelty. The case was dis- missed, with the caution that in such use of the inetchine the dog was not to be chained to the structure, as he had been at times. Upen the occasion of the magisterial inepec- tion eif the sheopclog's churning • the little fotuafooted dairy. worker eon- verted the milk into butter in rather less than half an hour.
