Fact. About Fertilizers.

As the result Of experiments ut the
Storrs agricultural school, it has been
found that while the addition of min
eral fertilizers increased the yield OF
clover, Ii had no very material effect
on the yield of grasses. In general,
the yield of hay was increased with
the quantity of nitrogen supplied: but
the mineral fertilizers when used alone
were applied at a loss.
Some of the facts obtained are well
worth attention. For example, the adj
dition of 160 pounds of nitrate of soda
per acre containing twenty-five pounds
Of nitrogen), in addition to the fixed
minerals, gave an average profit, dur
ing a period of three years. of $1.40
per acre. Three hundred and twenty
pounds of nitrate of soda fifty pounds
Of nitrogen gave an average profit
Of SJ.24 per acre, while 4S0 pounds OF
nitrate of soda (seventy-ive pounds Of
nitrogen yielded a profit of only S24J
per acre. The returns of profit from
the use of $40 pounds of nitrate Of soda
were very uniform, being $40, S5.19
and $5.49 respectively, for the three
years.
The application of heterogeneous ferti-
lizers, it was found, increased the per.
centages of protein in the crop, and
the increase was somewhat in proper.
ton to the amount Of nitrogen supplied
The increase in the amount of nitrogen
in the crop did not, however. equal the
increased amount Of nitrogen supplied
In the fertilizers, which would appear
to show that the plants were not able
TO utilize all the nitrogen supplied.
Ii is plain, therefore, that it is not
profitable to apply more of this expen.
sive ingredient than the plants can
readily assimilate.

LEO CELEBRATED MASS.

ROME, Dec. 1.-THE Pope celebrated mass
at st. Peters to-day. Fifteen thousand peo-
pie were present. The ceremony lasted
from $50 to 10 q. m. and was conducted at
the altar in the north transept. After a
second mass of thanksgiving by the papal
chaplain the Pope, seated on his throne,

Prince Massimo, the latter being the head

Pope's reply was read by Mgr Rodini. and
in it he reminded his ahearerS that Christian
giories had been substituted for pagan glo-
rieS In ancient Rome and declared that the
destiny of the Holy City guided bv
Providence In conclusion, the Pope said:
This seeking to revive the glories or pagan
ism and 10 deprive Rome of the diadem
with which God crowned her by the hands
of st. Peter will be fighting vainly against
the degrees of the Almighty"
The Pope was in excellent health and
spirits and showed no signs of fatigue. The
Holy Father was loudly applauded and
warmly greeted by multitudeS of people
upon entering and leaving the Basilica- The
Pope returned to the private entrance of the
Veticdn at 11:30, blessing the people as he
passed. Fourteen Cardinals and the Minis
ters of Spain, Hungary and Portugal and
the Russian envoy were present at st.
Peters during the celebration of the two
masses.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA remarkable
scene was enacted tonight at Carnegie
Music Hall. A large audience was assem-
bled to listen to one of the popular concerts
of the Symphony Orchestra, Of which Mr..
Walter Damrosch is the conductor. At
o'clock Mr.. Damrosch appeared upon the
conductors stand to conduct the Lohen-
grin overture. He raised his baton, but
there was no response from the orchestra.
In establishment he looked at his musi-
clans and again waived his baton. Not the
slightest sound came from the musicians.
In low voice Mr.. Damrosch said: Cen
tIemen, don't do anything rash; go with
me-" Raising his baton again Mr.. DAM
rosch beat a few bars of the overture, but
the same silence prevailed among the mu-
sicians. A sharp hiss was then heard in
the front Of the house. 1t was taken up by
row after row of seats and quickly spread
to the galleries. The audience was in
decidedly angry mood Mr.. Damrosch was
plainly embarrassed. Turning to the
sembly he said:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I am sorry to
saw there will be no concert Tonight. My
orchestra refuses TO play on account OF my
'ceIlist Hegner. L regret TO tell you that
the fabric which i have been patiently
weaving for years is ruined. L blame no
one for these hard facts. Your money Will
be refuded at the Office tonight or during
the week.
It was very plain that the audience was
decidedly in sympathy with Mr.. Damrosch
after he had made the announcement The
trouble was brought about by the difficulty
which Mr.. Damrosch has recently been hav-
ing with the Musical Protective Union The
union protested against the importation OF
the famous violoncellist, Anton Hegner,

GENTLY long time to become a member OF

the members refused to suspend the six
months rule In Hegner's case and tonight.
fearing that the union would be too much
for them, the members Of the Symphony
Orchestra decided 10 follow the unions
mandate Thus the audience was dis
missed, and tonight the musical public
has the biggest sensation Of recent years
