SUBSTITUTES FOR POTASH, • There seems to be no rent sub stitute for commercial potash that. will be available this year at reasonable prices, says l:loartl's Dairyman. It is generally recommended. 17 that sulphate of potasb is the D desirable form for' use In peta- 1 cause they seem to create condi- tions farorabie to the grf wtb of scab, do not make a. goof] form of potasb. In Tiew of tbe above facts we suggest the use of well rotted manure this spring or of n field that was neannretl last fall, If •this is not available and the lata., needs re -enforcement nitl-ife of soda, terrl;age and acid phosphate O may be used. We would omit the use of potash entire};. this; year unless it can be procured at a reasonable price. It is quite possible that deeper plotiring will bring np to the sur - n face an ndt1itionnl serpply of pot - 8 ash that will he eaffieient for Otbe next few years.

Pressure of the Enemy Has Failed to x:t r 'h Accelerate the Schedule of the Grand Duke Who is Removing. All Supplies As lle Goes Teutons Are Showing Signs of Staleness, Says Frederick Rennet. LONDON, Aug, 3.-Cooliy and de- liberately the Russians aro retiring to tbeir newly prepared nines be- tween the Vistulc and the Bug, but no einem:: of pressure by the enemy has availed to accelerate the Russian retreat beyond the time, schedule pre- pared by the Grand Duke Nicholas. Holding off the Austro -Germans on every front long enough to complete all arrangemente for the withdrawal of everything of military value, the Russian armies ars failing hack only at points where plans for evacuation have been carried out and the safety of the retiring forces secured. Lublin and Chole have been evac- uated, rearguard actions showing that the Russians are well in hand and retiring safely according to, pre- arranged program, covering the re- treat on Ivangorod from RaeQional' arranged fortified positions. In the north the German men- ace against Kovno has been with stood; Alla Warsaw frontrevaains nu-, shaken, and the only advance made is the occupation of Cholm, reported by Berlin. In this southern sector the Russians are being pressed vig- orously by the enemy, but there is no confirmation of the German re- port that the Russian army in this region is finding its retreat in serious danger. The Petrograd correspondent of The Daily Telegraph cables: Even yet the evacuation of Warsaw is not an accomplished fact. The de- liberation of the Russian withdrawal is an encouraging f :ature of the:nitu- ' ation. The semi-official statement says: "The strategic aspect of the situa- tion at Warsaw has not changed. The front which is nearest Warsaw remains as yet unshaken. There are deep reasons which demand our with- drawal from tbe Polish theatre of war. The abandonment of territory is only testi orary, an,: judging from all data available will not be pro- longed. "The retirement of our troops to positions prepared in advance between the Vistula and the Bug was accom- plished with absolute freedom. The enemy in no way impeded our occu- pation of the new front, the flank of which rests an a fortified position j (Brest-Ltowsk). This circumstance shows how the enemy's strength is being reduced through exhaustion to impotence. The retirement of our army was carried out at our own good -will and not under pressure, and shows the initiative is on our side." Frederick Rennet in a despatch to The London Daily News from Petro- grad says: The Russians have inflicted such losses en the invaders that the latter have been unable to interfere with the prearranged falling back on the' front of the Vistula and the Bug. This remarkable staleness of the German troops in Mackensen's army is due to his merciless dressing dur- ing the last month, when the Rus- sians found themselves faced with 3oa machine guns to every thousand men. They drove the Germans from three and even four lines of trenches, but found in the rear another array of field and machine guns awaiting them, besides hundreds of guns con- cealed among the trees and others buried in the ground. Hal: of Mackensens' troops pressed „head, lightly clad and carrying only their rations, slee-eing little for two or three days. The other half was held in reserve to take their places. These men had plenty of cognac, ether and water. A captured Ger- man said this war: necessary owing to the strain on the nerves, as Macken- sen's discipline is exceedingly strict. The Russian infantry has inflicted such terrible losses 'upon. the Ger- mans that the 1a:_er are unable to hold the territory they gained with their enormous preponderance of ar- t:liery. I hear, however, this su- periority cannot be maintained much longer. LOANS 515,500,000,000. , Total War Cost So Far Estimated by New York Bank. NEW YORK, Aug. 3. -How the world stands from a financial view- point after a year of war is ably set forth in a review issued by the Na- tional Cita Bank and published to- day. ' "The war expenditures have equal- led the moat extravagant predic- tions," sayer tbe review. "Excluding Italy, which came into the war at the end of the tenth month, and for which few figures of expenditures or loans are available, the war loans of the combatants have aggregated approximately $15,500,- 000,000, and this abcut represents the Governmental expenditures for the year."

Andromeda Nebula "That spectacle," said a friend of mine one night, pointing up to the stalti'y sky, "always overwhelms we with a sense of unchangeableness." "Yet," 1 replied, "it .is tbe grandest type of continual and stupendous, change that the imagination could pos- sibly,conceive. Its apprlreat uncbange- ableness is that of a distant landscape. Seen by a flash of lightning, the wheel 01 a racing auto seems to be motion- less. Your whole lifetime is but a lightning flash against the spinning wheels of the universe. The entire history of the world since tbe tradi- tional time of Adam Is but a lightning flash in the existence of the sidereal systems, "They are all in motion, and they are all changing within, themselves. Loois yonder at that rlekt•'Pam of: the 14.114 way, where the millions of apparent, 3y crowded stars resemble luminous clouds. If you could stand watching those star clouds for a million years instead of a few moments they would sbift and roll before your eyes like the whirling vapors of an advancing thun- derstorm. "The astronomer arrives at a knowl- edge of tbe fluctuations of the unlTerse by projecting his imagination back into the past and forward into the future. He gazes through a telescope which penetrates time instead of space. Its lenses gather together and bend to a focus beams of ages instead of rays of light. With its aid he sweeps ail past and coming aeons into the field of his mental vision and strives to view them in the mass, as they are seen by the 'ancient of days himself. "It is in this way that we know that all tbese brilliant constellations, which to the eye of the casnal looker base not altered their outlines since record- ed history began, are in reality as mutable and ephemeral as so many swarms of snow crystals. "Yes; it is no exaggeration to affirm that tbe firmament of stars would ap- pear to an eye endowed with immortal vision as restless and as swiftly vani- nble as a winter storm sky filled with eddying flakes. "Ursa ;Major, the Great Bear, Leo the Icon, Taurus the charging Brill, Orion the mighty Minter, the Southern Cross, the Northern Crown, the Lyre the Whale, tbe Scorpion, the Seales, Virgo the Virgin,- Hercules the Doer of Deeds, Draeo the Great Dragon, Opbi- echus tbe Serpent Bearer, the whole refulgent cycle of the zodiac from Aries round to Pisces, all tbese, v;ritb- out exception, and every starry com- pany in the whole sky that mankind has admired and rnetle legends about, are breaking up, crumbling, drifting asunder and preparing to assemble in ether formations, like the new heaven that is to shine upon the new eartb of tbe Apocalypse. "Look up at Aldebaran, the red first magnitude star in the eye of Taurus. It is going away front you at a speed of thirty -tire miles per second, seventy times as fast as the swiftest cannon ball. Every successive night It is 3,000,000 miles farther than it was twenty-four hours before, and yet its distance is so great that it has not ap- preciably diminisbed in brightness in a thousand years. "Then fix your eyes on a little star under the feet of Orion, whicb astrono- mers call Delta Leporis. It is flying away from us at the rate of sixty-two miles per second. That means a re- treat of more than 5,250,000 miles be- tween one night and the next, and yet Delta Leporis does not sensibly fade. It is like a distant steamer's night -so far away to begin with that no altera. Pion of its distance can produce a change in its apparent magnitude until the time elapsed begins to bear some appreciable proportion to the space that intervenes. `11 you will regard another litt?e star In the Whale, called Eta Cephei, yon will be looking at a projectile as big as a sun, which is shooting toward us more than fifty miles a second. The great dog star, Sirius, which crossed tbe milky way hundreds of centuries before history began, is speeding in our direction at the rate of fifteen miles a second, and the little dog star, Procy- on, Is chasing after him with the los ing stride of ten miles per second, "The magnificent Arcturus is retiring Into the depths of space with dignified step -three miles a second -while Al- pba Centaurus, a twin star, each of whose components equals out sun, is drawing a million miles nearer every twenty•fonr hours. The vast Orion Nebula is retreating eleven miles a sec- ond, but that wbirling wonder called the Andromeda Nebula is rushing hith erward 180 miles a Second, or more than 15,000,000 miles per day!
