impoverished land is now .'svaccin-
ated' on the continent of Europe. IT
Is generally known that land is en-
riched by planting it occasionally with
= leguminous crop like clover or lu-
cerne, the roots Of which absorb more
nitrogen than they take from the
ground. Where the nitrogen came
from was the problem Messrs. Hell-
.riegel and Willfarth have discovered
that the absorption is due to minute
organism, a sort of disease i'm the
roots, which, when the supply Of MI
trogen from the sNl begins to fail,
appear as an excresceDce, draw nitro
gen from the air and SO enrich the soil
again. Experiments have been made
in France and Germany to hasten the
growth of the disease by sprinkling
the fields with soil in which tubercu-
lous crops have been grown or with
water in which they have been steep
ed. In Prussia a field was sown with
lupins, one part of it was then treated
IN the ordinary way, the other ,inocu-
lated from an old lupin crop; the yield
IN the latter part was five and half
shines as great as in the other,

hLIxT, THE MURDERED, OF MISS
GING, CHANGES HIS MIND.
He II ArrRigned and Enters q Plea
OF Not Gu1lty-Harry Hayward IL
Brought Into Court and the In
dictment In Read.

Minneapolis, Dec. 19.-This morning
Claus a. Bli1t was led up before the
district court bar by Sheriff Eye. He
swayed as the sheriff released him and
seemed almost to fall, but recovered,
himself and stood with fingers clasped
across his breast, gazing at the Judge.
Il. r. Odell appeared for the prisoner,
and on his behalf ertered plea of not
guilty. Blixt did not appear to under
stand what was going on, and County
Attorney Nye inquired whether he un-
derstood the plea. 'tDo you know that
you are pleading not guilty?" eyes,"
answered the prisoner in q whisper,
IT understand Blfxt was then led
back to his seat. The trial was set
for Jan. Z. ......
Later in the day Harry T.. Hayward
was taken before Judge Hicks to hear
the reading Of the Indictment. He
listened attentively while the indict-
ment was read. The prisoner made
no plea, reserving this for future
time %t
Hayward was brought into court by
Sheriff Eye and two deputies. He ap-
peared in the same clothes he has
worn since his Incarceration, and there
was a decided difference between the
fashionably clad young man who I'M
derwent so severe an inquisition at
the hands Of Mayor Eustis and the
rather dingy looking individual in
In court to-day. Hayward betrayed
none OF the evidences of guilty fear
that characterized Blixt's entrance
through the same door earlier in the
day. He walked with his head up, and
appeared to resent the sheriff's hold
upon his arm. The effect Of his con-
hnement showed in the mans face,
though. He was pale and slightly bag
gard, but there was the same super
c1lious air about him that has been
noticeable from the first.
Great care had been taken that the
time of Hayward's arraignment should
not be known, and there was but a
small crowd in the court room. The
prisoners attorneys, Hale & Morgan.
remained close to him during the time
he was in court, and he smiled when
spoken to by one of them. His entire
bearing was that Of an innocent man,
and he is without question the most
consummate actor ever called on to
face a criminal indictment.
After the proceedings had been COM
plcted, Hayward was, taken out
through the side door, by Sheriff Eye.
A crowd had gathered on the street,
and there were one or two remarks
as he was marched through it to the
hack. Hayward heard them and
glanced contemptuously at the people
standing about. Then he entered the
carriage and was driven back to Jail
In st. Paul.
