The potentialities of life that lie, in a few ounces of soil, as illus- trated by a writer in Answers, may prove a matter of interest to gar- deners and other botanietrl experts. "One year, in the month of Febru- ary," says the writer alluded to, "Mr. Darwin removed from three different parts of a small pond three tablespoonful's of mud that weighed in all it and three -quer - ter ounces. lie placed it"in a breakfast cup and kept it covered. in his study for -six months. At that time he had removed from it five hundred and thirty-seven dis- tinct plants. Another interesting experiment ,was carried out by a Scotch gentleman a few *years ago. In a patch of soil taken from a hedge, about twenty-eight inches long by eleven indhes wide and twenty-eigiht deep, he planted •a dozen acorns, and took note of the number of plants that grew from seed -naturally contained in the soil. At the end of Is year he had taken out, as they Dame up, fifty- five plants; the following year, fifty-six more plants were removed, and in the two succeeding 'years, teo hundred and eleven."

They calI it Kiteheners Army, but what I' have seen is something far greater than an . army. It is a Democracy ;in army.' Here is the village blacksmith and the village parson, the squire's son, and the young farmer, the miner, and the mechanic, the factory hand, and. the city clerk, the erbium avid the college graduate, the business man and the doctor, the lawyer and the tradesman, This man was a stock- broker, this other waited at table, or measured tape, or washed dish- es. They have come, of their own free will; from cottage and castle to offer their lives to their coun- try,_ for they know that England's cause is just, writes Henry Noble Ball, an American jouipnaist. These are the men who are going to crush militsirism, and when the task is accomplished those who are left will lay aside their khaki and their guns and go back just as quietly as they came. "Yew," you will say, "hut what kind of soldiers do they make 1" The answer is - and I am understating the truth - they are equal to the- finest regular troops that England has ever put in the field at any periodeef heti his- tory. That is not the snap judg- ment of a newspaper man ; it is the deliberate opinion of professional soldiers, of white-haired generals who have fought in 01' seen every. war in the last half century.

That these men can be turned loose on to Germany without fear of doing anything that will tarnish their country's name. They will outrage no women, and plunder no property, nor will they set houses on fire except as military necessity dictates. But God pity the men who have to face them with arms in their hands. For these are not men to ask quarter, "and I do no think that they will give ib. The more I saw of Kitchener's army the stronger my impression grew that this is something far greater tenon any 'army. I have seen but a tiny portion of it, end astonishment has given way to ad- miration, admiration to pride, and pride to awe. Truly this is a De- mocracy in anima. Men who have the same love of liberty and the same respect for law as millions of other men in the United States. They have ]kid aside each one his work for a brief space, and have taken arms to detend the weak against the strong, to drive the invader from wasted Belgium, to crush Prussian militarism. • Real Fighters. That is one thing about Kitoiaesn er's army. It being taught-essen- tials. aughtessen- tials. It is being taught to ride and shoot and to skirmish and to dig trenches and to crawl and, to charge, and to. de all those things. Ceremonial drills will come latee, but for the present the men are be- ing taught to fight, and it is as- tounding how quickly they have learned the modern gaane. This is where England's love of sports has stood her in good stead; this is where the training that ehc has given her sons op • the village greens and on -thr, playing fields of her Public schools • has told. A11 these men have pla,,;ed games, and now they are learning to play the greatest of£ all games. But they are doing it as sportsmen. It is sport sobered by duty, and into it they are putting then•::whole' hearts and every ounce of >.ability and strength they possess:; Presently we shallsee these men passing down the road on theirway back to the field kitchens. Thna-e is the glow of health on their cheeks and tike light of pride in their eyes, They have done a good morning's weak, ands they ,know it.

They are no brave:' than the mean wlto get eommi•ssions on leaving it mili- tary academy, or on passing out of an officers' training corps. They could not be. But they are men who have grown up in the game, and who are "broke to the matter of war.'. They are men wlio like Sergeant What'stisname have made riflemen out of mud for this sonata Kitchener person, and now they have at hand the very finest.mater- iel that ever went into, any army in the world's history. That is why these men that are passing are bet- ter soldiers after ten weeks' train- ing than most continental armies can turnout after three years. RED CROSS SERVICES. News of interest to every reds. tive .and friend of the Canadian cliers who are now in France and of those avho will in the near future be in tlho zone of operations has been received at the 'head otfiee of the Canadian Red Cross -Society from Colonel Ekidgetts, Canadian commissioner in London, in which he says that he hes, completed arrangements for the information bureau to forward particulars re- garding wounded and missing Can- adians. This work will not conflict with the official returns but will supplement them by furntehing sub- sequent information to -relations as to their conduet and progress. The work will be carried on upon the same Iines as the British Red Cross and with their co-operation. A short time ago an information bureau wws started in connection with the British Red Cross Society for the purpose of keeping tine re- latives and friends of wounded and missing British soldiers cognizant of their progress and whereabouts. It was felt that a similar scheme might be started by the Canadian society and the message received from the commissioner shows that this has been dome. Clanadiens will therefore be able to hear how their wounded sons tarsal brothers are progressing and to know of .their safety if missing or captured. There must be few people in, this country who do not each morning seen the casualty list to see whe- tihe.r' any of those dear to them have been wounded, or in some cases killed, Now that the "Prin- eess'Pets" are in the trenches and part of the expeditionary force is either in France or on its way there and will thereffare soon be in the firing line, these lists 'will be watohed with even greater interest than before. The names that we Wish least of all to see are those of the kilted, men who have fallen on the field of honor in the gre.etest cause that they could die foe, the cause of freedom land righteous- ness; ighteousness; to look down the column of casualties and see the name el one wounded is almost a relief, for he might have been "missing the wounded list conveys no uncertain- ty.; it ie true and one accepts the mews with more hope.

It is a curious fact that, although evidence of electricity in a primi- tive whey was observed aa long ago: as the sixth century, 13.0., and its manifestation than become one of the 'greatest tactors in our modern oivilazation, no one knows just What it is. • At different times it has been thought to be a form of matter, a thin, weightless fluid, a kind of force, a variety of motion' and a disturbance in the etlher--which is supposed to fill all space, includ- ing pores in most • solid. metals. Electricity is not something creat- ed by man. He has simply discov- ered ways of turning its manifesta- tions to practical account.

THE DISCIPLES MAILED 111)1 Jesus'Agony When His Followers Disputed as to "Who Then Should be Greatest" "And He called unto Him His twelve disciples." -Matthew x., 1. It has often, been remarked by candid students of ,the Gospels that Jest's' disciples were, on the whole, a sorry lot of men. One 'be'trayed i;he Nazarene outright to his en- emies. Another denied Him thrice when He was most in need of friends. All fled like frightened sheep when He was arrested. In- ability to understand the Master was e ns tantthroughout the whale period of His ministry. Think of the stupid intolerance of John in forbidding "one casting out devils in (Jesus') name," for no other reason than that "he fence -0th not whin us !" Think of the amazing pride of the sons o!7.Zebedee in seek- ing to be seated one on Jesus' right hand an•d one on His left, in the promised kingdom! Wliat• must have been Jesus' wrath at the de mane of the disciples that He should bid fire come down from heaven upon the Samaritans who would not give Him shelter. Again and again diel the Master patiently explain the meaning of what He was saying and trying to• do. Again and again did He "rebuke them" for their follies and sins. But even to the very end they misunderstood and tens failed Him! Took Men as Ile ]Pound Their. That: Jesus was aware of 'the char. aster of His disciples .is evident from .a hundred different passages in the Gospels. A•ll-the.more im- pressive, inview of this fact, is His willingness to work with such men and to commit unto their hands the destinies of the stupendous move- ment wlhicli He had initiated. It would seem as though it would have been a wiser course to have tried His disciples as they were chosen one by -'one, rejected them as they were fount: wanting, and then se- leoted others ler .similar trial, until at last He had secured followers whose moral courage and spiritual insight were in some measure com- paa•aible to His own. But sueh a; process of selection seems never to. have entered into the Master's mind. He simply took men as He found them, poured out upon them tee riches of His spirit and then left them to do with these treasures what best they could. And the amazing thine is that in the long run His seemingly careless method justified itself, Foe little by little did these ;nen, twh0 -00 numerous occasions had proved to be so sttt- pid, and cowardly, rise to the "•measure of the stature of 01111011." Especially after Rio death did they seem to be transfigured as by the indwelling spirit of God and fitted for the triumphant mission of the Apostolic Age ! Oar :higher Spiritual Desires. In all this, now, is a significant lesson for our own day and genera- tion. How often do we silence some brave •word of idealism by the plea that men are not yet ready for such a message! How often do we discourage some great work of reform upon the ground theft "you cannot change human na- ture!" How often do 'we turn a deaf ear to some glowing prophet of the soul because, forsooth, hilae kingelom of righteousness which he would establish upon the earth is ilnpracticalble so long as mien are blind, week, selfish! Not 6uo11 was the giraetice of the great Teacher of ancient Palestine, and not such should be our practice to -day. Un - discouraged by the poor human ma- teriel with which nue have to deal, we should go straight to the goal of our highest spiritual desires. Un- deterred by the heedless ' ears of men, we should preach the loftiest message of the spirit of which our minds can conceive. '1•aking men just se me find them, with a'11 thou imperfections on their heads, we should seek nothing short Of God's Kingdom right here and now upon the earth. And 101 the miracle, to- day as yesterday, that bythe sheer power of our endeavor men are bransfigured'and thns fitted for the new and better day !-Rev, Johan Haynes Holmes.
