The coming of THE Back Crook to

considerable interest among our local

dairy romance, is without doubt the
grandest of all spectacular productions,

York. 1t ran for two solid years to
packed houses. Press and public lauded
it to the skies and pronounced it SUI

nearly thirty years ago. The scenic eff
fects are magnificent. The ballets, led
by three celebrated premieres, are poetic
dreams, and the music, by eminent com
posers, is a collection of perfect gems.
A special feature of the production is
the large number, of European special
ties. among which a Rexo and Reno,

The Latest Parkhurstian Develop
ment.

The City Vigilance League is the ag-
gregation of social jackals. who under the
leadership of Parkhurst the Abominable,
ave banded themselves to play pimp
and spy about the streets of New
York. Theodore Dwight is the chairman
OF the Nineteenth Precinct branch of the
mephitic organization.
Yesterday Dwight headed a raid on the
proprietors and walters to commit the
petty offence of selling a glass of beer,
and then arrested them.
In one place he found a respectable
French family dining. They were Mr.. and
Mrs. Remuald Ducrey and their daussh-
tiers, Mango and Susanna. The girls were
slipping a little claret and water with their
dinner. 1t seems incredible, but it is the
fact that Dwight placed the whole family
under arrest and marched them OFF to
the station house followed by a crowd
which filled the street.
The Sergeant dismissed the charge and
released the prisoners; but why. oh why
did ne not kick the miscreant Dwight,
with all the vigor of his hob nailed boots
across the station house floor and down
the steps and out into the crowd of
honest New Workers who were crying out
for a chance to roll him in the kennel.
Instead, he let him go out again with
detectives to commit more outrages on the
public.
This is what Parkhurstianism comes to.
This is the logical outcome of the Parson-
Detectives teachings and methods. What
New York has sown. She is reaping.

GYPSUM FOR ALKALI.

Robert H. Forbes, chemist of the eX-
pertinent station, makes the following
statement i'm bulletin Is of That station
respecting the use of gypsum on alka!li
land:
l. The cost of gypsum depends
largely upon freight rates. '1t may be
gotten as low as 2 cents a pound Ar
izona contains undeveloped supplies of
gypsum.
2. 1t is said that a surface dressing
of gypsum will enable tender plants to
make a start i'm alkaline soils. When
the crop lis large enough to shade the
ground, evaporation and rise of alkali
is retarded and the crop may be safely
maltured.
8. In the case of fruit trees as with
annual plants injury most usually re-
suits from THE corrosive action of the
alkali just at the surface of the ground.
The soil, however, and its bottom
waters may be so salty as to IMPURE the
trees through dts roots.
4. Gypsum improves 1.-THE filth OF al
kaline soils by acting upon and chang
ing the sodium carbonate to which the
lumpy character of these soils is large
ly due.
S. The water of Salt river contains
small amounts of gypsum i'm solution.
The use of this water for irrigation
ought therefore Ito result in a gradual
disappearance of black alkali wher-
ever lit is applied.
6. Wood ashes contain considera BILE
amount of potassium carbonate, a SUBJ
stance having properties similar ito
Those of sodium carbonate. The use
of ashes ON land already afflicted with
alkali is therefore not advisable.
The peculiar behavior of alkai is
largely a result of its solubilfty i'm
water. To this cause the we'll known
rise of The alkali" is due When the
ground has been wet by rain or irri-
cation the water evaporates at the sur
face leaving THE soluble salts behind
ait this point. By reason of capillary
attraction more water rises to take the
place of THAT which has disappeared,
bringing with it more alkali i'm solu-
tion, until finally a crust of SALTS is
formed ait the surface of the soil. 1t is
this concentration of injurious salts
into strongly corrosive layer which
causes the greatest destruction.
Other bad effects of black alkali are
1. Clay hard-pan, which results
from the union of the black alkali
with finely divided clay ait various
depths below THE surface.
2. The loss of hulmus, which is car
ried away in solution with the aid of
sodium carbonate.
g. The injury Ito the filth of adobe
soils, which assume a 1umpy and I'M
cultvable condition i'm the presence of
black alkali. Professor R. H. Forbes,

tion.

Crash goes the tree before the blast!

blood being neglected, every organ,

of living which vitiates the circulation
secondly, when symptoms of blood i'm
