The progress recently made in trae-
ing the interdependent relations Of
living organisms is clearing up some Of
the obscure problems in the nutrition
of plants that have a direct bearing on
the processes of evolution and the APP
plications Of science in agriculture.
Since the discovery of the compost
non Of the atmosphere the problem Of
the sources Of the nitrogen Of vegeta-
ton has given rise TO a wider range of
experimental investigation and discus
sion than any other in vegetable physi-
ology. The evidence appeared To be
conclusive rs 70 its source in certain
families, including the cereals, while
the larger supplies of nitrogen obtained
by leguminous plants were not fully
accounted for.
The experiments of Boussingault in
France and the elaborate investiga-
tons at Rothamsted, in England,
seemed to show that atmospheric nitro
gen is not appropriated TO any extent
by the leaves of plants, and that the
soil Is the main or sole source Of the
nitrogen Of vegetation. - DIR. Manly

To the Celestials no relics are more
valuable than the boots that have been
worn by a magistrate. If ne resigns
and leaves the city we are told a crowd
accompanies him from his residence to
the gates, where his boots are drawn
off with great ceremony, to be pre-
served in the hall of justice. This is
the more easy to believe when We re-
member that John Chinaman is rather
cenemonious on occasion with respect
to wearing his own boots. In his be
lief that there is nothing like old boots
the Chinese is not peculiar.
Relic hunters have discovered that
hidden away for the most part in the
family museums of our great houses
there are boots and shoes treasured for
their age, or valued for their historical
associations. Collecting remarkable
boots and antique shoes threatens to
become the rage among some ladies
of title. Let us hope they viii not for
get to include as a curiosity the high
heelsd boot of modern times. -Cham-

The beautiful crescent shaped har-

forming the prelude TO a strange drama.
The eountrymen, farmers and peasants
wear but little clothing, simply what
the natives call a matu, a near APP
proach to the hg leaf. The fishermen
wear other clothing when they come
into the town, but rs soon as they
have sold their wares and return TO b
country or the sea the clothing is re-
moved and carried over their shoulder.

The society of the kings dancers is
called the leiinamo. The Hawaiian
girls mature young, at ~ and IA years.
They have the dark, languid eyes and
the vo~luptuous beauty of form that
may be seen only in warm countries.
From the most beautiful of these girls
the kings dancers are selected. Great
care is taken to secure the most attract

uriance Of beauty. They are twenty
in number. \ place is prepared for
them neal the queens palace. Their
diet is the best that can be provided,
and all their surroundings are those OF
luxury and dreamy, lanGuid ease.
Upon state occasions they dance al
the kings palace and also for the en-.
tertainInent of distinguished visitors
who wish to see all there is on the
island. They wear short skirts made
of birds feathers and belted at the
waist. Over the shoulder and under

urged the reelection of admittedly honest,
able and available Judges and we have
done so without inquiring whether it
pleased or offended the politicians in the
community.
1t is gratifying to know that the people of
every section of Pennsylvania, including the
people of Schuylkill county, have generally
recognized the Importance of re.eecting
faithful Judges, and of electing the best
candidates without regard to their political
associations. Philadelphia, the Gibraltar
of Republcanism, has many times elected
Democratic Judges and with the support Of
leading Republican newspapers Of the
city. In like manner nearly every strong
Republican and Democratic county of the
state has reversed It's party majority in the
selection of Judges. 1t has been done for
the common welfare of the whole people;
it has been done in the interest of even
handed justicei it has been done to protect t
our judiciary from partisan contamination
and it has been done to maintain the
sanctity of the law in the temples of JUS
tice.
These are the reasons why The Times
urges the reelection of Judge Green, the
Republican in Schuylkill county and the
reelection of Judge Bueher, the Democrat
in the Union district, and there is little
doubt that the people of both districts will
prove their annreoiation Of an borast apd
non-partisan Judiciary by the re election of
both of these eminently capable and up
right Judges.

THE money market grows brighter
and brighter, and the outlook for a
busy autumn more promising than for
months past. With abundant crops,
big foreign demand for our surplus
cereals and spirit of determination
to make things go as usual, there is no
room for doubt as to what the outcome
will be. Stocks are advancing; capital
which, for a considerable time has
been lying comparatively dormant,
is again becoming active, and spirit
of confident hope in the future has
taken general hold of the business
community.

THE most absurd proposition that

Farmers Alliance advocates are re.

requires something besides harrangu-
ing the public to produce corn and

THE courts in Baltimore have laid
hands on some 100000 of one of the
-rich-quick orders-money which
was to have been paid to 300 members,
who had only paid in one-third of the
amount to be distributed. The other
$4,000 was to have been taken from
the money paid in by the other men,
bers. 1t is said that the 800 members
who were to be paid were the organ
izers and their friends, those who first
subscribed. The dupes were to
be fieeced-were those who came in
later. The court directed that all the
money on hand should be paid back
to all the members according to the
amounts paid in. In this way the
robbery of the late subscribers is
prevented.

GLASS BLOWERS REJOICE.
Resumption of Work by All of the New
lrsey Factories.


jersey Factories.
TRENTON, N. j., Sep, 2-The agree
ment reached between the green glass
manufacturers and the workers. associ-
alton, by which all the furnaces in this
State have been started after the long
shut down, is the cause of great rejoicing
among the workmen and storekeepers.
The manufacturers have agreed to the
price list and rules adopted by the work
ers' convention in st. Louis last July,
with two exceptions, in which a compro-
mise was effected viz, the demand for
advance in the prices of TASKS is with
drawn, and they will remain the same as
last year. On minerals, however, all the
rise asked for by the workers has been
granted, while the apprenticeship ques-
tion remains in statu quo.
The green glass blowers have cut loose
from the Knights of Labor and have con
cluded an arrangement with the officers
of the American Flint Glass Workers
Union, by which, during the coming
year, the workmen of neither organiza-
tion shall make ware that is made by the
other, This is an important alliance,
and another plan is on foot to make the
travelling and working cards of the two
organizations interchangeable so that
green blowers may work in flint factories
and vice versa.
