whatever That is the principle Of the
indestructibility Of matter. At din
ner OF scientists held in Washington
at which the predictions Of Sir Will
lam Croolles and Mr.. Atkinson formed
the leading topic Of discussion, this
principle was advanced as the chief
argument against their conclusions.
The scientists were confident in the
belief that the potash taken in a thou
sand forms from the earth would in
some form return TO the earth, and
that in some way the conversion OF
potash from varied sources into shape
by which it could feed the soil, would
come about when necessity demanded
it.
There is no doubt however, that the
discovery of an addition to the worlds
supply of potash is n matter Of real
Importance, and it is likely that the
sensation caused by the statements Of
Mr.. Atkinson viii lead to a vigorous
search for deposits in this country.
If such deposits of any considerable
extent are in existence in any part Of
the country they undoubtedly win be
uncovered before the German field is
worked out.

usea of mo screech owl.

Judge II. G. Sheffield has undoubt-
edly made an important discovery re-
gardng the much-dreaded screech owl.
For some time past the Judge has been
annoyed by frequent visits from one or
more of these nocturnal birds and has
spent some time in an endeavor to rid
his premises Of such unwelcome visit
ors, but up to date had failed to ac-
complish his design-now, much to his
delight. Before the advent of the OWL
English sparrows fairly swarmed In
and about the Judges yard but since
Mr.. Owl took up quarters there very
few sparrows are to be seen. There
fore the little screech owl, so de-
spised as the harbinger of evil has
demonstrated its usefulness and here
after deserves consideration for being
a friend to any communlty.-Calhoun

in every part of the earths crust, at
least in every part presenting an ara
bic surface. Soluble potassium salts
are found in quantities I'm all fertile
soils. These salts are sucked up by
the roots of plants and trees, which
eagerly seek them >out as necessities
Of life. 1t is a significant fact that
even where soda predominates in the
soil the plants take up the potash
salts in preference.
After taking part in the processes Of
nutrition and being transformed into
organic salts the potash salts may re-
sumo their original form through COM
bustion There is n loss in quantity,
however, and in the case of plants
which are used for food or in the vari-
Gus human arts there is, Of course, a
nearly complete loss. The cause for
concern in regard to the question of
the worlds future food supply lies
in the fact that potash Is not renewed
in the manner Of some other elements
of vegetable life. 1t Is a mineral de-
posit arising through the natural de-
composition Of certain rocks. On titled

wide disaster and destruction to the
human race, says the New York Her
aid 1t would be hard to tell how
many scores OF times the people of the
earth have been called upon to face
the prospect, remote or immediate,
of their own annihlatlon. They have
been asked to consider the results
which, in some future cycle, will come
from the steady cooling Of the earth's
surface, to prepare for mundane ami
hilation through collision with some
whirling comet and to give attention
to dozens of other hypothesis equally
unalluring.
In the multiplicity Of these theories
1t would seem that the possibilities had
been exhausted. but every now and
then a new deduction is brought for
ward to startle the world. 1t has re-
NAMED for Mr.. Edward Atkinson the
scientist, essayist and political agita-
tor, to develop the newest and most
surprising theory as to the nature of
the embaTassments which will force
themselves upon the worlds inhabit-
ants as the centuries roll around. Mr.,
Atkinson believes with Sir William

the flag is large and the line long
enough and push a blight Of the line
between the turn and the flag as shown
in Fig. 1.
In this condition the flag is said to
be "made up" and is ready for laying
away, or for bending on to the hal
yards. If laid away when thus made
up, its name and number will be in
plain sight, so that it need not be un-
rolled to be identified, and when 1t is
unfurled it viii be as If newly ironed.
When made up it can be carried about
without trailing in the dirt, and will re-
main in n compact bundle so long as
no strain is brought upon the bending
line. This being bent to the lower part
of the halyards, however a sharp pull
on the latter will slip the blight and
"break the flag"
If the flag is large one, turn
around it's middle is not enough to keep
it in a compact bundle, so it should then
be secured by tying around 1t near
each end a piece Of cotton string In
this case the bending line is first laid
along the side of the bundle in three
bghts, so that the upper string passes
through all three, and the lower one
through the first two, as shown in
Fig. .. a sharp pull on the lower
part Of the halyards will break the
strings and unfurl the flag as before.
1t is not customary to hoist the flag
all the way to the masthead made up,
but only high enough to get it clear
Of dirty ground or Of distractions
such as rigging, trees, or the caves Of
houses; then it is broken" and hoisted
unfruled.
Flags are only mastheaded made up

would seem probable that such large
deposits would be Of frequent occur
renee. But, ms Mr.. Atkinson points
out, exactly the reverse is the case.
In discussing the matter before the
Association for the Advancement of
Science he called attention to the fact
that the worlds entire supply is at
present being drawn from the mines
of Strassfurt, Germany, and that,
while other fields equally great may
possibly exist, they have not been un-
covered up to the present time.
Practically every bit Of the potash
used in the United States is imported,
and the volume Of these imports is
increasing rapidly, as the constant
working of the soil makes the use Of
fertilizers more and more necessary.
At the present time these imports
amount to more than $2000O00 year

Evolution md Our Flag.

There were various flags with differ
ent designs combined with the English
flag used up to the time of the grand
union tiag-raising at Cambridge, Mass,
Jan ., 177G, when they unfured the
first thirteen stripes, emblematic of
the union Of the thirteen Colonies
against the oppressive acts of Great
Britain. The last symbol of royalty
abandoned was the English flag. Gen
eral Washington designed n new flag
in May 1T7G, with the thirteen stripes,
seven of red and six of white, and in
the upper corner a blue field contain
ing thirteen stars. 1t was made by
Mrs. Betsey Ross, Of Philadelphia, but
was not adopted by Congress until the
14th of June, 1777, when our flag was
flung as a new constellation to the
world. The stripes have never in
creased in number, but the stars, each
representing a State, have increased
to the number of forty-fve.' Each of
the States of our Union has a flag Of
its own, emblazoned with the arms Of
the State; this flag is carried by the
militia or in parades side by side with
the national standard.
Thus through process Of evolution
our flag has come down to us, not as a
relic, but as part Of our inheritance.
All from the least to the greatest can

al pride, eXclaim "Our flag" -"Long

Before this point was reached, how
ever, the rise in the value Of the min
cral would cause it to be sought after
eagerly in every part Of the world,
would lead to the conserving Of the
present sources Of supply and to an
attempt to find new ones. Men would
prospect for potash with greater zeal
than they now put into the search al
ter gold. The terrors Of the alkali
deserts would be braved and men
would bore for the precious deposits
ali over the burning plains Of the
Southwest
At the same time, efforts would be
made to gather the product from the
scattered sources Of supply now in ex-
istence In some financially profitable
manner. According TO Professor Dit
mar, the very greatest of all these
sources is the ocean, and no doubt the
brains of inventors and scientists
would be racked to devise a means
of separating this potash from the
waves. In all primitive countries
where the supply of wood is large pot
ash is obtained by the liXiylatlon of
wood ashes.
This source also would be brought
into use, and gradually the forest trees
and such plants as nettles, wormwood,
tobacco and kelp, all Of which are
capable Of supplying potash in consid-
| cradle quantities, would be burned to
rpiuyenate the imDOyprishpd soil Men
would live more and more largely upon
the food plants, requiring only a small
amount Of potash for their growth and
a complete change in the accepted sys.
tens Of diet We nd result.
To pursue the unpleasant transfor
nation to its final result It Is neces
sary to picture n world growing grad
ually more and more completely de
void Of life, farms barren Of vegeta
tlon, houses and cities deserted ant
race Of beings growing steadily
weaker and weaker, and, even in tn,
intermediate stages of the change
entirely different from those who nov
lnhablt the earth.
| 1t is reassurlng to note that the con
census Of opinion among scientists f
that this extreme condition never will
be realized. There is one great prin
ciple generally accepted as holdinj
good for all the operations Of nature
which scientists bring UP in opposl
tion to those who predict a final cat

requiring artificial stimulus is rela-
lively very small. Potash is not now
expensive, even with the necessity Of
bringing it across the Atlantic. The
real danger, as Mr.. Atkinson sees it,
is in the exhaustion OF the source Of
supply when the demand grows, as
it is practically certain to do in ever
increasing ratio.
Not even Mr.. Atkinson contends that
a food famine from the exhaustion Of
the potash supply is imminent, but the
possibilities of such a famine are in
teresting to contemplate. 1t would
come about gradually, of course, the
