brated by the Pilgrims of Plymouth at the
ingathering of their first harvest in the au-
tumn of 1921. Its record is preserved in
letter of Edward Winslow, sent home to Eng
land the following winter. BY order of the
governor, a party of four went out to shoot
wild turkeys, and secured bountiful sup
ply. Others brought sea fish and duck, and
the festival was continued for week, with
out-of-door sports and trials of arms. 1t is
supposed they had in mind the Jewish
Feast of Tabernacles, which was in Octo-
ber-a feast at ingathering and lasted seven
days. Ninety Indians, with the great
chief Massasoit, came and joined in the fes-
tive scene, bringing five deer to the common
entertainment. The first autumnal thanks
giving officially appointed by the colony OF
Massachusetts Bay was on November 16,
1853. This was another colony from that of
Plymouth, and was founded a few years later
at Salem in 1926 and at Boston in 1880. The
festival, however. was not of regular annual
recurrence anywhere till a much later
period. 1t gradually grew in the affections
of New England people, till it became an
established observance which has now be-
come HdulOndi'
IT appears that in the report of the hear
ing of the Randolph case the comparative
cost of schools in another district was inad-
vertentlv given for the cost in Mr.. ID. III.
Morse's district. Mr. Morse's statement
was that the school cost less in his district
| under the town than under the district sys-
TEN, giving no figures As a matter of fact,
| however, the records in Mr.. Morse's dis
| trict show that it raised an average annual
| school tax of twenty-three and one-fifth
cents on the dollar of the grand list for the
| last five consecutive years prior to the
| adoption of the town system Add to this
| the nine cents state tax and the actual cost
| is thirty-two and one-fifth cents on the dol
lar to support school twenty-seven and
one-fifth weeks per year under the old sys-
TEN, against tax of thirty cents year for
thirty weeks of better school under the
| town system. Mr.. Crows statement should
have read that the tax in his district had
usually ranged under the old system from
| twenty-five to twenty-eight per cent which
| with the nine per cent state tax, would make
from thirty-one per cent to thirty-seven pei
cent; also that better teachers, not at q
cheaper rate had been hired under the
town system of management. In a report
written up in some haste and without op
| portunity for revision absolute accuracy o.
statement was impossible. The exact facts
however, do not improve the case of the
| petitioners.

Combined nitrogen, nitrous acid, or

Schonbein explains it on the theory
that the mere evaporation of water
in the air is accompanied by the
formation of small quantity of
nitrous acid, and so the soils acquire
it from the air.
