When chemical fertilizer is applied in the hill or drill, careful consider- ation must be given to the possibility of injuring the germinating seedling. Chemicals high in readily available plant food such as nitrate of soda or ammonium sulphate or muriate of potash are most injurious, while phosphates and organic nitrogen are less eo. Large ,seeds such as corn, beaus and others that germinate quickly, are more apt to be injured than those that germinate Slowly. The soil moisture also has an intim once when chemicals are applied as it determines the degree of dilution, hence there is less danger on clay or muck, than there is on the drier sandy soils. The sandy soils hold se little moisture that the chemical goes into a more concentrated solution, and hence is more injurious to the germinating seed. Best results are secured where the fertilizer is applied in two streams to the sides and s little below the level of the seed. On light soils where heavy await, cations are made it is often desir• able to apply a portion of the fen tiliser at planting time, the balance to be applied as a side dressing later. .--L.Stevenson, Dept. .06 .Extension, 0. .

The Incas (meaning lords or ohiefs), inhabiting certain valleys near Cuzco, and believed to be orlg- anally a tribe or family of the Quin- chuas, the ancient inb.abitants of Peru, rose to prominence under the Inca kings in the thirteen century. The first Inca wars Inansb Capoe, who called himself "Child of the Sun." With his wife, Mama Ocollo, he founded the Peruvian royal fam- ily (about 1240). The pair claimed to be children of the sun sent from heaven to instruct the natives. From Manoo. Oapac, descended twelve other historical persons, the last reigning Inca being H3uascar, though the line- age was preserved long after. The Government of the Incas was a mild form of depotism. The Inca made all the laws and imposed the taxes, The sacredotai offices wore his also. He presided over all religious festvals and sacrifices and was head not only of the state but of the priest- hood as well, The Incas recognized a supreme being represented at Cuzco by a stone statue covered with gold. Their be- lief was mixed up with sun and Are worship, Human sacrifices—if any, were rare. All the male deeeenclants of the Inca formed the nobility and were the governors of the different sub -divisions of the country. Lands and a large portion of goods were ;held in common and all classes were compelled to work for a stipulated time for the common welfare of the people, After the fail of the Incas (about 1582) most of the Quinchtta tribes submitted to the Spaniards.

Five thousand feet above sea level in Persia ie to be found a huge, salty inland sea, It is known as Urmla and is 250 miles around, covering an area of 1,600 square miles, and boasts of some 56 islands. Ninety miles long by some thirty. wide, it completely dwarfs the Dead Sea, something like a mile and a quarter lower in level, and contains a greater percentage of salts in solution. Urmia is fed by a number of small screams and is the catch basin for a considerable area, but as it has 110 outlet whateverr except evaporation the salt that comes in stays in. Con- stant leaching by the streams brings in a continuous supply of salts, and given time enough, this results in a salt lake, for while the evaporation takes care of the water it trust leave the salt behind. And this is what has happened to Urmia. For yearn and years 1. has been becoming saltier and saltier, probably exceeded in this respect only by ]:Carabugas, the salt water annex of the Caspian Sea. No fish live in it, but one species of small crustacean does, or up to some time ago did, manage to thrive in its briny waters. EMERALDS.

Old emerald mines have been dis- covered so extensive that hundreds of men must have worked in them at a time, much as they work in the dia- mond alines of South Africa to -day. Many rings of Cleopatra's time are set with emeralds deeply cut with her portrait. These she is said 111 have bestowed on foreign ambassa- dors as a mark of her favor. The most productive emerald mines of to -day are in Coleraine eel Venezuela. There is a famous emer- ald mine near Santa Fee. Stones are still found, however, in some of the old mines of Egypt, and some years ago emeralds of a lovely color ware thrown up by the sea near Alex- andria. It is possible they came down in the silt of the Nile from the mines of Upper Egypt.
