RosenthaI in America.

Rosenthal, the giant among modern
pianist, has most successfully inauguar-
ated his second American tour. At his
first concert in Carnegie Music Hall
Nov. 10, 1896, the enthusiasm of the
tremendously large audience was un-
bounded. Over and over again the great
artist was called out and vociforously
cheered. and after the last piece-the
Hungarian Fantasia the vast audience
did not move until he played several en-
cores. Beyond doubt, Rosenthal will
this season be the lion of the day. He
has made wonderful strides since his last
visit here. His bewildering technique,
his broad, beautiful and sensuous tone
and his subtle conceptions are the won
der of the present time. He will reap
pear in New York in four piano recitals,
in Carnegie Music Hall. November 18th,
Goth, 23rd and 9th.

Acidity of Soils.

After several years work at the
Rhode Island station it has been decided
that the acidity of upland soils is prob
ably due to the removal of crops and the
use of certain fertilizers that exhaust
the lime and other basic ingredients of
the soil, leaving more Of the acid than
would be the case were nature allowed
to take her course. An acid condition of
the soil therefore results. Some plants
thrive best under such condition, but
clover, timothy and beets are injured on
such soils. A dangerous degree of acid
ity appears to exist in upland and nat
urallg well drained soils and is not con-
fined to muck and peat swamps and
very wet lands, as most American and
many other. writers seem to assume.
The remedy seems to be a generous
application of air slaked lime. The
amount applied varies from 500 to 2, 900
pounds per acre, to be broadcasted and

silo you purpose to build, and he will
beyel them so that they will exactly fit.
The additional expense will be less than
that of attempting to stop up the cracks
with rags. We do not desire to stop all
shrinking and swelling. When filled.
we wish the silo to swell some to aid in
making tighter Joints, and then, when
empty, we want it to shrink SO that

mony was introduced in the Stetson will
case early today The first witness was
n. p. Mason, the former foreman in the
printing office of which John Stetson was
proprietor He stated that i'm December

thing written To appear in his paper, to
convey the impression that he and Adah
Richmond, who is trying to prove her
right To contest the will on the ground
that she was John Stetson IS lawful wife,
We're married and yet not to make it ap-
pear "A fact. Mr.. Mason said a paragraph
was prepared which met Mr. Stetson s
approval, and about a week after the item
appeared, Mr.. Stetson explained its neces-
sity by saying that there was too much
talk about his living with Adah, and that
he had 10 have sham marriage y -"And
you know, said he, "I'm married too
much already"
Marie McAuliffc, who was employed by
Mr.. Stetson as n domestic was another

than for her husband.
