The daily gazette., 1879-09-30


A Texas gentleman who stopped at a
ST. Louis hotel before morning made
himse the most interesting guest in the
establishment. The waiter asked him If
he knew how to turn of the gas, and he
said he knew what he was about. A
couple of hours later the odor of gas per-
vaded the entire house and was traced to
his room. A call was made, but he told
the waiter to go away or there would be
trouble. 1t became apparent the guest
had blown out his gas light, and frequent
and more vigorous calls weremade. The
guest held the fort, however, and despite
the warnings that he would be smother
ed to death and would blow up the
house, declined to- open the door, and
told all applicants to retire. Finally he
began shooting at the door, and for about
ten minutes kept mp fasillade, firing
fourteen bullets in all, many of which
passed through the door and others
lodged In the Walls! A squad Of police
finally forced an entrance, and at immi-
nent risk captured him. 1t was then
ascertained he had $50 in his possession,
and couldn't smell. AS he got no odor
of the gas he imagined the walters were
all burglars trying to get in and rob him,
and hence his conduct.

Uses Of Lime in AOricuJture.

The Journal or Foresty--English--i
an article ON the cultural uses of lime
chemically and mechanically, and as TO
its influence both on the organic and in
| organic constituents of the soil, gives
| the following as summary of its chief
| benefits
A large produce of cereal crops OF
super ior quality. This is especially the
case with wheat, which becomes thinner
skinned and yields more -four. The
peace grown upon lined lands are bet
ter boilers.
Upon deep alluvial and clay soil it in
creases the crop of potatoes, and renders
them less waxy. Sprinkled over pota-
toes in the store heap it preserves them,
and when riddled over the cut sets
it wonderfully increases their fertil-
ity.
Lime cradicates the finger and toe dis
ca t. in turnips, and gives greater sound
ness and more nutritive qualities to the
bulbs.
1t gives, when applied to meadow
lands, larger produce of more nu-
tritious grasses, and checks the foot rot
in sheep depaslured upon them. 1t also
exterminates bent as well as coarse and
sour grasses, and acts powerfully upon
the rye grasses.
Upon arabic land it destroys corn
marigold and weeds of various kinds.
1t rapidly decomposes vegetable
mater, producing large amount of
food for plants in the form Of carbonic
acid gas.
1t destroys or neutralizes the acids in
the soils; hence its adaptibility to sour
soils.
1t acts powerfully on some of the in
organic paris of the soils, especially on
the sulphate of iron found in peaty soils,
and the sulphates of magnesia and
alumina.
1t proves fatal to worms and slugs,
and the larvae ofinjurious insects, though
favorable to the growth Of shell bear
ers.
1t destroys the germ of smut upon the
seed of wheat, barley, and oats, and is
especially acceptable to the barley crop,
which is generally of good quality upon
chalky soils.
Slaked lime added to vegetable matter
causes it to give oil its nitrogen in the
form of ammonia. Upon soils in which
the ammonia Is combined with acid it
sets free the ammonia, which is directly
seized upon by the plans.
Its solubility in water causes it to sink
into and ameliorate the subsoil. When |
the soil contains fragments of granite or
trap rock, lime hastens their decomposi-
tion and liberates the silicates.
Its combination with the acids in the /
soil produces saline compounds, such as
potash, soda, etc.
1t exerts marvellous effect upon rape,
though it is said to injure fax, which in
Belgium is not grown for seven years
after lining.
Strewed over young plants, il destroys
or drives away the turIip fly.
Worked in with grass seeds, the bene-
fetal effects of lime, chalk, mari and
shell sand have been visible for period
of thirty years.
1t has powerful pulverizing effect
upon the wealden clay, on the sandstone
and on the GRANTEES and slate
rocks. .Uf
1t is generally supposed to hasten the
r'peniDg Of corn (cereaD crops.
L. promotes the formation in the soil
Of what are called the double silicates.
This process starts with the clay, or sill
cate of alumna, and is afterwards con-
tinued through the S. of allumia and
lime, the S. of A. and soda, A. and pot
ash, and A. and ammonia. !

getting sight of them. At that season,
on the slightest appearance of any one,
the wild cattle retire into their forest
sanctuary but in winter they come down
for food into the inner park, and will let
one come almost among them, especially
If ON horseback. Here Is a pretty picture
of these strange creatures, remnants of
an old world, which have hitherto been

continue to exist; "When they come

which they do at stated hours, they move

by lining the front of small wood,
