Improving Unproductive Black Soils
All over the corn belt are to be found
low areas of black soil, known as
ssbogus land" or incorrectly called
'alkali," which are usually toe wet to
grow corn. Analysis has shown them
to be rich in plant food. The difficulty
in producing crops arises from bad
drainage and a failure to reduce the
water level to the proper point. but
when this is done they are very pro-
ductive, and will stand drouth ad-
mirably, For corn the permanent
water level should be at least - inches
below the surface. for a permanent
water level of 80 inches permits but
little corn to be raised. OF course the
permanent improvement of such lands
depends upon effective drainage. This
drainage will usually be of a special
kind, requiring careful surveys on
which to base methods Purdue eX-

The serpent's silent Capture of an I'm.
suspecting sparrow.
A sight very seldom seen by any but
professional naturalists was observed
the other day in n German geological
collection. The boa-constrictor is a
non-poisonous snake, and kills its prey
by squeezing it TO death. A young boa
had been kept in a cage over a
week with three sparrows without
taking any notice of the pres
ence of the birds, nor did the
latter manifest any fright Of the rep
tile. One day, says the Philadelphia
Record, the snake appeared to watch
the movements of the birds, then pick
ing seeds off the floor of the cage, and
slowly began to unwind from the
branch of the tree on which II spent
most of the time. Almost impercep-
tibly the loops on the tree disappeared,
the body of the snake becoming more
and more disengaged, but its head still
remaining at considerable distance
from the floor. All of sudden the for
ward part Of the snakes body shot
downward with lightning rapidity,
grasping one of the unsuspecting
birds, not with the mouth, but with a
rapid twist of the body, crushing it ut
the same time until quite lifeless. This
was done SO quickly and noiselessly
that the other birds never noticed the
absence of the victim. The boa then re-
turned to the tree above, and after a
little preparation of further pressing
the bird and covering it with mucus
it proceeded to swallow its prey with
out biting or chewing AS the boas al

lous Manner.
In the Oak Hill cemetery at Stony
Brook, L. L., large tombstone OF mot
tied Italian marble bears remarkable
portrait of an average-sized human
face. The picture is not the work of a
sculptor, nor has it been craven with
the marble-cutter's chisel; it is a natu
raj production, the outlines of the face
being formed by peculiar grouping of
the clouded veins and dark spots char
acteristic of first-class imported stone.
The remarkable peculiarity of this par
ticular stone has been known for two
or three years, and throughout the
length and breadth of Long Island it
is referred to as "the miracle face"
Standing near, as one would in reading
an epitaph or inspecting the grain and
polish of such a memorial shaft, the
outlines of the face cannot be traced,
but at distance of from thirty-five to
fifty feet it is as plain as though done
with an artists brush, the grouping OF
the spots, veins and waving lines COM
bining to make not only fair resem-
blance to face, but "a complete por-
trait, including hair, eyes, nose,
cheeks, mouth, chin, etc. Its outlines
are clearest, Of course, when the
shadows and light play properly upon
it, but at the distance mentioned, and
in the proper direction, the portrait is
plainly visible atall times. The face is
on the back of the stone, and the eyes
are so set as to appear to be looking
down upon the grave of the person tc
whose memory the shaf4 --- .,ncted.
