Years ago the North Carson mine

Scientific agriculturists have always
had a difficulty in determining precise
ly the amount Of moisture In soils. Rain
does plants comparatively little good
until 1t enters the soil. where it can be
absorbed by their roots. A record Of
the actual amount Of water in the soil
from day to day would. therefore, give
the absolute value of the moisture con
ditlOns under which plants are grow
ing and even without reference to rain
fall data It would show, the character
Of the soil being understood, whether
the conditions were favorable or other
wise for the crop. Hitherto there has
been much uncertainty in reaching this
record. A plan now proposed IS quite
promising, and can be readily put In
practice. It consists In burying special
" constructed electrodes in the soil, So
that by measuring the resistance to the
passage of current through the soil
the amount of moisture In the soil can
be ascertained The possibility of using
the electrical resistance of soils for the
determination of moisture was sug-
gcsted by the necessity of thoroughly
grounding lightning rods. telephone and
telegraph lines Ii these are not car
ried to a considerable depth, so that
the terminals are constantly In a moist
soil. the lines do not work In dry sea
sons.-Los Angeles Times.

would feel we'll enough, and other
times was miserable. So 1t went on
until last October, felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was so depressed in spirits
that l did not wish to live, although l
had everything to live for. Had hys-

sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.

A little old shoemaker, who has a
busy, old-style cobbllng shop on the
east side, is a bird fancier and he has
peculiar Ideas about canaries. One
night last week he was sitting in his
leather-covered bench, smoking an ex-
tremely odorous quality of tobacco in n
black pipe. a customer, who had
visited the recent bird show, was walt

marks concerning the birds which hung
about the cobbler's shop They We're

maker how he got such richly colOred
birds.
It's part In the breeding and part in
the atmosphere" said the cobbler.
''You raise birds in a shop where two
or three men are constantly smoking
and in time you will get the darkest
orange color If you use n little judg-
ment in mating and they don't run to
green's"
Il should think that tobacco smoke
would be unwholesome for the birds, D
said the visitor.
ION the contrary, 1t makes them
| hardy and seems to be good for them
every way. Women who have canaries
would do well to put them where they
can get a little tobacco smoke once in a
while, although I don't think cigar
cite smoke would do them much good
What they need IS strong tobacco
smoke from an old pipe like this or the
smoke from a black cigar. I've raised
my best birds when had two jours
working in this little shop with me anc
