"The Problem Of Increasing Human

Harvesting of the suns energy, is dis

TO increase materially the produc-
tiyity of the soil. IL must be more esfec-
lively fortified by artificial means.
The question Of food production re-
solves itself, then. into the question
how best to fertilize the soil. What IL
ia that made the soil Is still mystery.
To explain its origin is probably equiv
alent to explaining the origin OF life
itself. The rocks, disintegrated by
moisture and heat and. wind and wenth-
er, were in themselves not capable Of
maintaining life. Some unexplained
condition arose, and some new princi-
pie came into effect, and the first layer

their life and death. added more OF the
DEMONSTRATING quality to the soil. and
higher organisms could then subsist.
and so on and on, until at last highly
developed plont and animal life could
flourish. But though the theories are.
even now. not in agreement as to how
fertilization ia effected, II is fact, only
700 well nscertained that the soil can
not indefinitely sustain life, and that
some way must be found to supply il
with the substances which have been
abstTaeted from IL by the plants. The
chief and most valuable among
these substances are compounds OF nj
trogen. and the chief production Of
these is, therefore, the key for the so.
luton OF the all-important food prob.
lem. Our atmosphere contain. an in
exhaustibe supply OF nitrogen. and
could We but oxidize 1t and produce
these compounds, an incalculable ben

Long ago this idea took powerful
hold on the imagination of scientific
men, but an efficient means for accom-.
piishing this result could not be- te.
yised. The problem was rendered e.-
tremely difficult by the extraordinary
lnertness OF the nitrogen, which re-.
uses to combine even with oxygen. But
mere electricity comes to our aid: the

Opposed . Imperialism.

In q vigorous article in the October
number OF the North American Review
which forms part Of the great politi-
cal symposium in that periodical, Ed
ward NJ. Shepard. who opposed Mr..
Bryan in 1895, explains why be and
other sound money Democrats will sup
port Mr.. Bryan In 1900 He asks:
"Shall we substitute military and Mo
hammedan ideals for those of Industrial
righteousness and peace, which we have
thus far left before our eyes," Mr..
Shepard contends that the American
people have always been averse to an
''imperialistic" policy.
"Again and again and again, from
the outcry against the stamp act in 177e
to the adoption, more than century
later, Of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments, has the whole scheme
been considered and condemned by the
American people. In that condemns
tion we have found our supreme and
characteristic political glory. Every
solemn responsible and undiscredited
declaration OF our statesmen all the
teachings OF our town meetings, oul
churches and our schools have Joined
In the condemnation.
'.If our practices have not equallet
our preach;ngs-if in the treatment o
the Indians or the negroes within ouI
borders our principle has been violated
we have not, therefore, denied thu
principle, but have profoundly regret
ted that calamitous and inconsisten
exceptions should have been imposed
upon US by the presence Of these in
ferior races in the midst OF our p0pu
lation before the declaration OF indie
pendence. These we have declared u
be an evil to be escaped or ended wher.
practicable, never good to be preserv
ed and extended. We have opposed
and dreaded the addition OF any lik,
difficulty.'

BRYAN FIGURES.
Al Placed In the Additlsn Celunn By
Hon. e. A. Tewne.

Hon. Charles A. Towne, the great
Silver Republican leader and orator,
who is working night and day for the
election Of Mr.. Bryan and who has been
received with such enthusiasm every
where that indoor meetings have been
out OF the question has prepared this
table Of results:
II first classify the following as sure
for Bryan: Alabama, Arkansas, Colo
RADIO, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana,
Kentucky, Louisiana. Maryland, Miss
issippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska.
Nevada, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee. Texas, Utah and Vir-
GINA. That gives total Of lS9 votes.
Next l have column 'almost certain
in which place Delaware, Illinois,
Kansas, South Dakota and West Vir-
ginia, with a total OF A. The total OF
these two would elect Mr.. Bryan, for
they give him 236, twelve votes more
than will elect"
Mr.. Towne is exceedingly sanguine
over the states as quoted, and says that
there is margin yet to be counted
upon. "While the men at the head OF
the ticket, said he, "are the same ~
in 1896, the issues before the people
have undergone some additions and
alterations. These issues are such as
TO arouse the utmost feelings of the
people, and when the people feel rs
keenly as they do at the present time
in opposition to Imperialism there is
going TO be some strong Indications Of
it at the polls. hardly think we will
carry all these states just as they are
enumerated, but the presence OF these
issues l speak Of are going to produce
conditions that result no one knows
how. Therefore, it is possible that in
addition to the above we may carr,
New York, with its SO votes; Ohio with
%; Washington, Wisconsin and Wyom
ing, 28 in all. am, in fact, strongl,
inclined to transfer the states OF Wash
ington, Ohio and New York from tn,
possible to the probable column"
