ANIMAL FERTILIZERS.
An Entirely New Way to Provide Plants
with Electricity.

An Entirely New Way to Provide Plants
with Electricity.
A dead animal of any kind fish.
fowl or beast, buried near the roots OF
a fruit or other tree. will cause q won
derful growth The animal substance
does not pass into the vegetable, but,
being q natural and powerful gen.
orator Of electricity, increases the cur
rent that passes from the atmosphere
to the earth. and thereby a large guam
tity of support is drawn from the at
mosphere, says Fosters Weather Bu-
reau. You can grow good crop OF
potatoes on brick pavement if mois-
ture Il retained and the potato vines
are connected with moist earth by cop
per wires
Commercial fertilizers do not enrich
the soil, do not add anything to it that is
of value. The object sought in these
fertilizers is to put the soil into con-
dition that will enable it to conduct
electricity. The electrical current
passes into the vegetable through its
leaves, carrying with it the gross mat
ter that goes to build up the vegetable
cells, and after that matter Is depos-
tied in the vegetable the electric cur
rent must have a conductor through
which to pass to the earth
Worn out soils are poor conductors,
and the acids used in the commercial
fertilizers, which are little more than
acids and sand, pulverize the dead
soil and enliven it for a short time
Those acid fertilizers are largely used
in the New England states and the cot
ton countries of the Mississippi
But few people in the upper Missis-
sippi and the Missouri valleys ever saw
Q commercial fertilizer. If science can
find something that will render worn
out soil q good conductor it will save
millions of dollars annually that Is now
paid out for commercial fertilizers

no liking for that sort of reading, or.
indeed, for any other.
As might be expected from mild
hammered young man, the czarowitz
is not partial to war. as some of his
forefathers have been. There is moth
ing of the Don Cossack in him. He has
no ambition to crush the Turks or to
wage war with Austria, or with Eng
land on the eastern frontier. He Is a
peaceable young man, who would
rather improve the somewhat expan-
sive bit of ground now known as Rus
STA, and no one denies that there is
room for improvement. He is unlike
his two brothers in this respect OF
these George, the naval officer, is not
the kind to turn his back on fight.
Grand Duke Michael is the cars IA
vorite. and, though younger than his
brother, is said to be the one whom
Alexander at times contemplates
naming as his successor Youthful
though he is, he is extremely precau-
tious, and has talent for political in
trigue and government
Either of these two young men
might cut a more dashing figure than
Grand Duke Nicholas Yet these
backward weaklings are often deceiv-
ing. More than one of them have out
stripped stronger and better equipped
men on their own ground, What has
occurred may occur again, and, be-
sides, Duke Nicholas is young. When
his time comes to fly alone his pinions
may prove stronger than they seem.
There is one thing to-be said of the
young man that cannot be said of other
knights of his age. His life has been
clean. His name IS unsmirched by
scandal. He has lived quietly with
his books and studies. His habits
have been and are of the simplest He
is tenderly attached to his mother,
and, if his affection for his rough bear
least given him respect and obedience
while disagreeing with him on many
points. He really wishes to improve
the condition of the people of Russia,
and on no narrow lines He is no
apostle of war or bloodshed, and no
prosecutor of race or religion
