A WEALTHY German, who died not
long ago, in his will left the whole of his
property to a person whom he had
seen every day for years. This was a
young lady who lived directly opposite
his own lodgings. OF this young lady
the old gentleman knew nothing what
ever, except her name and the grateful
fact that for several years, as he had
passed to and fro, she had treated his
coming and going with a pleasant,
friendly smile. He was lonely in his
elderly bachelorhood, and the daily
smile cheered and made him grateful.
No tie, indeed, seems to have bound
him to any human being except to the
fair damsel who thus silently bright,
ened his solitude.

A FRENCH scientific agricuIturist, af,
ter almost thirty years of assiduous
researches on the experimental farm at
Vincennes. has made a remarkable and
important discovery of a relation ex.
listing between the color of plants and
the richness of soils in fertilizing agents
He finds that the color of the leaves OF
plants undergoes marked change when.
ever the soil is lacking in phosphate
potash, lime or nitrogen. The color
remains Lght-green or turns to yellow
when the soil is deficient in any OF
these ingredients. When none of the
fertiizing elements are wanting the
color is dark-green. By his expert
ments he furnishes agriculturists with
positive indications by which they can
determine with the greatest facility
what kind Of fertilizer the soil needs
most, or in what elements of fertility
it abOunds, enabling them to make
two blades of grass grow where now
grows one.
