SOILS OF TENNESSEE.
Valuable Report from the Experiment Station
University Of Tennessee.

valuable Report from the Experiment station
University Of Tennessee.
The Agricultural Experiment Station
of the University Of Tennessee has just
published very valuable report upon
the soils of Tennessee, copy of which
has been received by The COMET. 1t
is::a Volume of 112 pages, and contains
some of the results of five years work
in studying the typical soils Of the
State and their Agricultural uses. The
book is handsomely printed and illus
trated, and is accompanied by colored
soil map, 49x13 inches, and also by q
relief map and drainage map of the
State.
1t is by far the most important con-
tributlon that has ever been made to
scientific agriculture in Tennessee, and
reflects great credit upon the State
University, The manuscript was pre-
pared by Prof Vanderferd
After an introductory explanation OF
the methods of investigation, the typi-
cal soils of Tennessee are taken up in
order and discussed at some length.
The designs of the report is, to explain
the geological formation Of soils, then
chemical aud physical composition,
indigenous botanical productions, and
agricultural productions. The dis
cussions of the better uses to which the
type, soils are adopted are eminently
practical.
The report will be distributed gratis
as far as it will go, to those farmers O
in Tennessee who apply for it,
This bulletin is a part of the plan o
the Experiment Station to investigate
the agricultural resources of the State
of Tennessee. When we consider tina
Tennessee covers $4,000 square miles
averaging 400 miles long from the Smo
kies to the Mississippi, that its surface
is spread over mOutains, plateaus, val
leys, and plains, ranging in elevation
from 6, 400 feet down to 800 feet; tina
we have thus in one State all the lif,
Genes from the Boreal to the lower Aus
trail, and nearly all the soil formations
known to North America, it will be APP
parent that the Experiment Station ha
undertaken a great work in proposing
to investigate the agricultural relations
and resources of Tennessee. What i
has already done, however, encourages
us to believe that it will complete THU
work in due time in most satisfaCtor,
maner. A number of bulletins hav,
already been published giving the re
suits Of its Investigations of the grasses
of Tennessee, of the native apples, o
the feeding stuffs produced in tn,
State, etc. The report on the soils o
the State is only part, therefore, de
veloping Tennessee agriculture.

rwnin,s Material For stories.

In Berlin, when one pays his fare to
the conductor of a street car, he receives
q ticket, which is o afterward col
lected by an inspector, who boards the
a at a fixed point. One day, just as a
joke, Mark Twain paid his fare 10
times Oh one trip, each time throwing
the ticket out of the window or under
his seat as soon as he had deposited the
regular fare with the conductor. A lew
minutes later the inspector would get
on the car and demand tickets oil
around. OF course Twain had none to
show and had to buy another, apparent
ly with reluctance. The performance
amused the American, dumfounded the
conductor, who had never met 80 reck-
less a passenger. and tickled the native
passengers, who thought the foreigner
we'll punished for his negligence. By
this modest investment material was
obtained for a capital story, which net

But all thought of ridicu1e vanishes
when it's romantic origin ID, opnsidered,
for it is the echo still lingering about
the memory Of two dusky lovers, who,
in that long gone time when Michigan

lived and loved on the banks of the riv-

Kahla, the young warrior, was
straight Of limb and eagle eyed, while
to Mahzoo had been given by the Great
Spirit the many graces and virtues for
which Indian maidens have become
noted in song and legend. Life to these
two possessed all the charm which true
affection has ever granted to lovers, and
the days, as they came and went,
brought only Astounding joy.

Colonel Ray, the United States mill

regular army officer who had very little
opportunity of Distinguishing himself
previously to receiving his appointment
to the position he now fills, but the
authorities who sent Colonel Ray to
Manzanillo evidently knew what they
were about, for he made a most bril-
liant beginning.
Colonel Ray went to his post with
less than 300 men armed with Spring.
field rifles. He found an arrogant and
hot headed Spanish officer, General Par
ron, in command of the city with 200
soldiers. There had beea the usual On
flict of authority somewhere in Qua waF
department at Washington, and a con-

was ordered to take possession of the
town at once, whereas the Spanish gen.

FARO BUILT THE CHURCH.

bishop Put Up a,Good Fight, and the
Sports Clipped In 81
Bishop Worthington Of Omaha Is now
D. strict churchman. His ermon are
severe in doctrine and hold out little
hope to sinners unless they repent.
However, the bishop knows human ma
ture. He learned it in the. best school
for an education of that kind-thef Tar
west.
Years ago, when Mr.. Worthington
was a recent graduate from the theolog-
ical seminary, he began his gospel work
in Butte, Mon. The town was then q
mining camp pure and simple. It had
saloons, dance halls and gambling
rooms, but neither church nor school.
It's inhabitants were rough, tough and
ready-manliness was their god, and 1t
was this manliness which made the
west what it Is.
At college Worthington was q boxer
and an oarsman. In Butte these accom-
plishments served him we'll, for they
gave him a strong arm and O quick eye.
His gospel services were held In q tent.
There was no money to build q church.
One day as he was walking along the
principal street the bully Of the town
approached him.
"Do you want to fght?" asked the
desperate.
mo-" replied the clergyman.
"Then take thatl"
But "that'' never, came. Worthing-
ton warded off the blow, and with his
good right fist sent the bully to grass In
scientific fashion.
That night the affair was talked over
in Cy Henry's gambling house.
~ like that chap Worthington, " said
Bill Johnson. "He strikes a good blow.
Let's all play for him tonight"
The proposition was agreed to, and
the next morning 81, 800 won at faro
was presented to the minister. That
money built the first church in Butte.

NAVAL COMMANDMENT.
Together With Thunder and Lightning the
Situation Must Have Been APP
palling to the Spaniards.

Port Antonio, July 12.-The Brooklyn,
Texas and Indiana, under Commodore
Schley, began the bombardment of the
city of Santiago at SIS in the evening,
in obedience to a request from General
Shafter, conveyed by a signal from the
shore.
The warships lined up from the east
to west, a quarter Of a mile from the
shore. and fired over the limestone
cliffs that come down to the sea and
hide the city, 1--WE miles way. The
bombardment was continued for one
hour.
After IS shots had been fired from the
S-inch guns Commodore Schley became
convinced that the BroOklyn's fire was
falling short and ordered a cessation.
The shots were fired apparently with
great elaboration and at intervals of
two minutes. The signals from the
shore announced that the shells fell
1000 feet short and a little to the left Of
the Spanish position. At dusk the
| squadron ceased firing.
Following the roar Of Commodore
Schley's guns could be heard the shrek
ing of the shells as they sped on their
/ way to the doomed Spanish city. Then
came a long echo from the hills back
of Santiago, and sometimes a peal OF
thunder prolonged the reverbrations
and gave the impression that the city
was bombarded from sky, sea and land
The situation must have been APP
palling to the S%paniards, and if Genera
Shafter made the demonstration foi
the mere effect which it would have
on the wavering enemy he probably
attained his end.
