phosphoric acid" says the Fruit
Grower.
Three forms of phosphate were
used:
1. Acidulated Florida rock, contain
ing 5000 per cent total phosphorie
acid; 1897 per cent soluble; $40 pei
cent insoluble; 1890 per cent ''avail-
able
2. Crude, finely ground Florida
rock (foats), containing 32.77 pei
cent phosphoric acid. This was OBJ
tanned from the commercial ground
rock by stirring it with water, allow
ing the coarser particles to subside.
and then pouring off the turbid wa
ter. The Floats are the sediments
deposited from these washings.
3. Aphosphate of iron and alumina
the so-called Redonda phosphate, con-
tanning 1853 per cent phosphoric
acid, large part of which, 42.77 per
cent, was soluble in ammonium CT
trate. This ready solubility in am
monium citrate is brought about by
roasting the phosphate. 1t undergoes
a change on standing whereby the
phosphate gradually becomes less sol
uble in the citrate solution.
Ninety-six boxes were used, twelve
for each kind of plant. In the first
box the acid rock was used; in the
second, the crude rock; in the third,
the phosphate of iron and alumina;
in the fourth, no phosphate. The
next four boxes were treated in the
same manner, and so on to the end
Thus it will be seen that for each
kind of plant there were three boxes
which received the same treatment
Eight species of plants were chosen
clover Qeguminosae); turnips and
ruta bagas (cruciferae); barley and
corn (graminae) tomatoes and pota-
toes (solanaceae). The plants were
grown in the forcing house in wood
en- boxes, IA inches square and IL
inches deep, each containing 100
pounds of sand. This sand was OBJ
tanned from a knoll nearby, and hav-
ing been taken from a depth of three
or four feet was nearly free from or
ganic matter It was found to con-
tain a very little phosphoric acid, but
the total amount present was so fa1
below what would be required by a
vigorous plant that it is doubtful il
it's presence could be considered {
disturbing factor. Owing to it's al
most complete inertness and it's ina
bility to puddle or pack, this soil ha'
proved a very satisfactory medium
and was thought preferable to thu
mixture of sphagnum and coal ashes
sometimes used in pot experiments.
The eight species of plants employ
ed in these experiments showed
greatly unlike ability to appropriate
phosphoric acid from the water in
soluble phosphate. Tn differences
in this respect were striking. From

age plank i'm the platform. Nor was there
any restriction upon the bitterness of the
feeling displayed by both speakers and lis
teners.
When the long talks were finished a roll
call of intense excitement followed. wher-
ever the unit rule was not enforced the
silver forces went to pieces to such an ex-
tent that il looked for while as though
the convention might adopt the minority
report ousting the regulars. When New
Ycrk's seventy-two votes were pumped on
that side the gold people in the delegations
and galleries started one of those great
demonstrations such as was given Nc
Kinley in ST. Louis, and kept it going un-
til everybody was worn out. 1t was tact
ical mistake for from that time on the
silverites rallied and the lines were closely
drawn. The roll call proceeded and the
convention consummated the outrage of
trampling down the convention of a SOW
ereign State by a vote of 55S to 3sS; and the
silver howlers were proud of the work, for
they made demonstration equal to that
of the goldites.
After the deed was done the gold delega-
tions had no opportunity to show their
hand, for after the permanent organization
was put in the silver programme was sud-
denly changed and the convention ad-
journed
The eight Indiana members who voted to
seat the regulars were Turpie. Lamb. Eng

1t is believed that ballot will be reached
before the convention adjourns tomorrow
night. Mr.. Bland will. OF course, lead all
other candidates, and comparatively little
Importance will attach to the first record
or the votes OF the delegates. There is
nothing new in the situation tonight
which would form basis for any fore
cast of the ticket, save the constantly

FREE-SILVER MAN CAGED
ARRESTED FOR DEFAMING PRESI-
IDENT CLEVELAND AND SHERMAN.
DR.. j. I. Fearon, Of Council Bluffs
Charged with Wrongful Use
Of the Mails.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, July S.-Enthus-
iasm because Of free silver and freedom
in expressing his views has led to the ar
rest of DR.. j. /. Fearon, of this city, on
the charge of having used the mails for
the purpose Of making defamatory and in
cendiary utterances of and concerning
President Cleveland and Senator John Sher-
man.
DR.. Fearon is a pronounced silver advo-
cate and has a habit of giving emphatic
expression to his views. A few days ago
his attention was attracted to clipping
in the Nonpareil from an Ottumwa paper,
in which it was stated that the govern
ment might as well recoin its $40 gold
pieces into 500 pieces as to make so cents
worth of silver pass for a dollar. He wrote
a postal card to the Nonpareil in reply.
He said that the government had gone for
forty years coming silver in the good old
way until a midnight conspiracy of hell
birds, bribed by gold. worked up a conspir-
acy that demonetized silver. Then he init
work of Grover Cleveland and John Sher-
man under certain conditions, etc.

out an editorial paragraph. 1t also brought
out deputy United States mar
shall Deputy Marshal Hiiwig went
if he did not want to make some reply to
the Nonpareil editorial. The Doctor
promptly replied that he did and then dis
covered his mistake and refused to talk
that he had written the card and would
not admit that he had written il. By a
little subterfuge he was induced to write
another card and the handwriting corre-
sponded so exactly with that of the offend
ing card that a warrant Was issued for his
arrest. charging him as above named
