these analyses are altogether false ana
erroneous. In regard to nitrogen, the
most costly element in fertilizers, we
are not informed as to the amount of
soluble or insoluble, but it is usually
stated as organic substate, yielding
ammonia" but we are left in ignorance
as to when these changes take place in
the soil
Phosphoric is required to be stated,
the amount of soluble, insouble andre
verted, and different values are attach
ed to each, differing widely, and yet
such authority as Sir j. b. Lawes, says:
'|The relative value to agriculturists Of
Underground phosphates, compared
with the same phosphate dissolved by
acid, can never be properly estimated
by the continuous growth of roots. We
have evidence that gypsum, which is
present in large quantities in soluble
phosphates, has very beneficial effect
upon clover, which forms part of rota-
ton, though the superphosphate had not
been applied directly to the clover, but
to the roots, two years preyiously.When
soluble phosphate of lime precipitate
in the soil tits in finer state Of division
than can be effected by any mechanical
operation, and as minuteness of division
is one of the great objects to be OBJ
tained it would be reasonable to con.
Clude that dissolved phosphate would
| be more eflicacious than one that was
merely ground. Although phosphatcs
under every possible form have been
under experiments here for forty years,
l have nothing conclusive to forward in
regard to the great superiority OF soluble
over insoluble phosphates
Prof. S. w. johnson says: 1.-THE ulti-
mate effect OF acting on bones with sui
phuric acid is the same as extreme pull
.verization. Bone flour is as active and
effectual fertilizer as the sulphated
bone. In other words, given amount
of money and labor expended in raw
bones often goes further and does better
than when put in sulphatcd bone"
Abundant testimony is at hand to con-
firm Sir j. B. Lawes and Prof S. w.
johnson, but none is needed. Why is
it, then, that the experiment stations
are so persistent in valuing the soluble,
insoluble and reverted phosphates so
differently, and insist that the variations
in the solubility must be expressed and
yet give no heed to the solubility of am
monia, much more costly article

STORIES ABOUT KITES.

"Mr. Punch" Tells How Kite Helped
Build the Great Suspension BrldGe-A
japanese Kite Flght-An Oldham Kite
"A Kite Secret Well Kept.
OF course you have heard about
Benjam Franklin and his wonderful
bow-kite-how he raised it Just at the
beginning of thunderstorm, and how
by means of it he conducted electricity
from the clouds. To accomplish this
wonderful experiment, point of wire
was attached to the kite, which was
made of silk, and the end of the captive
cord was tied to key. The electricity
passed down the hempen cord and be-
came stored in the key; and that when
the first suspension bridge that con-
meets the two shores of the Niagara
river was built, the question arose how
the first wire should be carried across,
as no boat could live in such turbulent
waters AT last the suggestion was
made by Mr.. Ellet, then the first en-
gineer in our country, that an attempt
should be made to convey the wires
by means of kites. The experiment
was tried. The kite carried a line
across, and to this line a rope was at
tached. To the rope wire was
fastened. and thus was conveyed the
first wire that ever held bridge across
the Niagara river. Mr. Ellet's bridge
in the end proved unsuccessful, and a
more satisfactory structure was built
later by Mr.. Roebling, the famous en-
gineer, whose name has been immor-
talized by the wonderful bridge that
now spans the East river and connects
the two great cities of New York and
Brooklyn.
The boys of not so many years ago
were limited in their choice to few
simple forms of kites, but nowadays
the fashions or styles of kites vary
more or less every year, and there may
be found in the large toy shops an
endless variety of forms more or less
groteSque, simple or ingenious. There
are Japanese, Chinese, folding and col

We have an old portrait of Grandma
In queer old gilded frame,
Odd and sweet and pretty,
1t was made before mamma came,
And am her youngest grandchlld,
They say she loves mo best
i don't know how that is
I'm sure she loves all the rest
But her room is full of treasures,
Old things-she loves them well.
Rainy days she shows them to ms,
And will often story tell.

And be gentle to the last,

A Marrow Escape.

Perhaps if you should visit the north.
ern part of Maine, on fishing or trap
ping excursion, you might see a small
house, built in a clearing, but with
woods directly back of it. This was
built by Thomas Seaton. He sets traps
for the otter, lynx and beaver, and
sells the furs to the trappcrs who visit
the place. Should you spend the day,
his son might relate to you the story
of his narrow escape. l will tell it az

heard once of boy who had very
good cousin, who made him a Kite that
was the wonder and delight of the
neiohborhood. 1t was about four feet
high, and was covered with muslin and
painted with a funny representation OF
an old mans head and body, down to
his thighs and out to his shoulders.
Then at the bottom of this kite there
were LEGS attached, and on the shout
ders he put arms, and then the Omni-
bus called at the door and | said good
bye. u.
These legs and arms were made OF
bunting tubes, open at the place where
the hoops on which they were made
Joined the kite, so that the wind filled
them out and made them look plump
and round as if they were alive. Bunt-
ing, you know, is the loosely-woven
material that flags are made OF, and IS
very light and open. His legs were
red and his arms were blue, and he
was the funniest looking sort OF feb
low away up IN the air, kicking and
sprawling like a baby before it can
creep, or tugging like a dog at his
chain when there is COW in the yard.
Three sticks made the frame One
from the bottom of the jacket to the
top of the hat and one from each
shoulder to the corner below his vest
pockets. Strings formed the rest Of
the frame.
A boy in Brattleboro, Vt, in 1911,
made kite and attached paper Ian
tern to it in which he put candle and
arranged it so that when the candle
had burned out it would explode some
powder which was in the bottom of the
lantern. He kept the secret entirely
to himself and waited for suitable
night on which to raise his kite. The
boy got his kite into the air without
being discovered, for it was so dark
that nothing but the colored lantern
was visible. 1t went dancing about in
the air wildly and attracted much notice,
and was looked upon by ignorantpeople
as some supernatural omen. The evil
spirit, as many supposed it, went bob,
bing about for about twenty minutes,
and then exploded, blowing the lantern
to pieces.
Next morning all was wonder and
excitement. And this lad who had
carefully taken his kite in and hidden
it after the explosion without being
found out, had his own fun out of the
matter. The people of BrattlebOrc
never had any explanation of the myS'
terry until nearly sixty years afterward,
when the boy, who had become quite
an old gentleman, published the story
in Brattleboro newspaper. Could any
of you little people keep such a secret fiji
ty seven yearsP l advise you, however
onno account to repeat this kite expert
, ment unless you do so under the di
rection of some older person who I'M
derstands how to handle gunpowdel
with safety. The man-kite, on th'
other hand, is well worth trying. It,
too, is not without its accompanying
explosions, but explosions of laughter

PREPARING FOR ACTION.

Within the Palace grounds are
erected about 25 or 80 tents for the
native military companies. To-
morrow at al early hour all those
companies will be mustered and
marched to the Palace, there to be
herded for the electoral shambles.
TO sooth their crushed spirit of
liberty, and drown all lingering feel
ings of native independence, gin
will be poured, perhaps through a
funnel, down their gullets, until
they are ready to die of fatty de-
generation of the heart, on behalf of
their country! Those who survive
the deluge of liquor will be marched
in squads of ten to vote, like good
soldiers, according to orders. On
the Waikiki corner of Richard and
King streets is Government lair,
where a piece of canvas has been
put up over beggarly array OF
benches, for a service of gin and
poi, or poi and gin.
