1t has long been known that air in
the soil is a very important factor in
the growth of plants, and that air per-
meates the soil to as great depth as
the roots Of most plants. Perhaps with
plants not aquatic the depth to which
the roots can permeate is regulated to
a considerable extent by the depth to
which the air penetrates. How, then,
does the air penetrate the soil? Ex-
cept under special conditions, 1t does
not depend upon the volume of the
pores. but is influenced primarily by
the size of the pores, since the latter
determines almost exclusively the re-
sistance offered to the circulation of
the air. The permeability increases as
this resistance diminishes. and is
therefore smaller the smaller the soil
particles, and yice versa.
OF the different soil constituents in
the dry state, clay is the least per
meable to air; and permeability in
creases generally with the quantity of
quartz present. Soils consisting OF
humus alone, behave, when dry, sim
ilarly to the coarse-grained sands. In
soils made up of constituents varying
considerably from one another in the
size of the particles, the permeability
of the whole mass depends principally
on the finest grained material, The re-
markable permeability Of most sands
can therefore be reduced considerably
by the admixture of comparatively
small quantities of some fine material,
such as clay, loan or mari.
In the case Of stratified soils the per-
meability depends entirely on the
finest grained layer, even If the layer
is very thin. In a very impermeable
soil the permeability is increased to a
remarkable extent by the formation OF
the crumbly structure. With an in
crease OF humidity the permeability Of
soil for air diminishes and more
strongly the greater the water capac-
ily OF the soil. All soils rich in clay
and humus become impermeable at u
point below saturation. II a soil Is
wet only in the upper layers the en-
trance and exit OF the air is hindered
in proportion to the fineness of the
grains. In soils rich in clay and humus
this may result in absolute impermea-
bility. even with slight precipitation.

A German author, A. Caron, spent
considerable time investigating the eff
feet of inoculating soils with nitrogen
consuming bacteria. An estimation
was made of the abundance Of bacteria
in various soils that had been cropped
with oats, barley and rye, following
wheat, rye and wheat. There were
found 1.5, 2.2 and 81 million bacteria
per cubic centimeter in the three soils
1t was also found that in black fallow,
a fallow on which grass had been al
lowed to spring up prior to blowing
under, the number of bacteria increases
from spring until autumn, when their
maximum number is to be found.
Investigations were conducted to as
certain the vertical distribution of soil
bacteria, and 1t was found that they
decrease with the increased depth OF
the soil from which they are taken,
there being six million per cubic cent?
meters at a depth OF eight inches and
only one and half million at depth
of IL inches, in this field examined.
Examinations were made of field in
which various crops, such as grain,
clover, potatoes, ETC., had been grown,
and 1t was found that where grains
we're grown there was decrease in the
number of soil bacteria as the season
advanced, while there was constant
increase in the case of the other crops.
In this the author confirms the obser-
vations Of others that grain crops do
best when they follow such crops as
legumes, potatoes, ETC., or fallow, not
only on account Of the chemical and
physical condition of the soil, but also
on account of the presence of greater
numbers of soil bacteria by the aid of
which greater amounts of nitrogen are
supplied to the growing crop.
The author isolated the bacteria from
soils on which wheat and clover had
been grown, and also from compost,
making numerous pure cultures OF
them. Pot experiments were made to
test their influence upon the growth
of oats. The pots were % centimeters
of bouillon culture, and all received
the same fertilizers and treatment. At
maturity the plants grown in the spots
receiving the bacterial cultures gave as
an average 1916 gm. grain and 29.9
gm. straw, as compared with 1926 and
22.14 GIN. from the check pots.
In 1898 some field experiments were
undertaken with oats in which the
seed, prior to sowing, was impreg-
mated with the desired organism by
soaking for some time in liquid cul-
lures containing it.. The yields Of
grain from inoculated seed and from
seed so treated we're in the proportion
of 100 to 1876. In the autumn the field
where the oats had been sown was
plowed and in the spring sown with
mustard. The yields of green forage on
equal portions Of uninoculated and
plants riay 10 reFfestTtcsdF
by the proportion of 100 to 1876.
Numerous additional experiments
were conducted which in every case
gave higher yield whenever the soil
or culture medium had received an in
oculation with some form of soil
bacteria.

below them the lights of the town
lights which seemed like tiny Stars
peeping through the darkness. ABOVE
them were a few clouds dotted with
other and larger stars.
AS they were going up Woo laughed
heartily. Il wonder" he said, "how orr
friend Rice liked that little explosion
Ha, ha, my, but that was funny" and
again he chuckled.
Willie was still somewhat frightened
but when he thought of the way the
Snowman had been blown into the prig-
on cage he, too, chuckled.
This makes me thing of old times"
said Woo. but / guess we are up far
enough now and had better be start
ing for home. All, here comes the
breeze"
Sure enough, the wind was blowing
little gale, and for time they drifted
along in very happy mood, chatting
over the events of the day. They were
so interested in their talk neither Of
them noticed that they were getting
away from the towns, and when they
did look down not a light was to be
seen. Then the fairy spoke in an anx-
ious tone:
Say, Willie, we haven't passed
town for some time, and right ahead
there are mountains. I'll bet we have
been going in the wrong direction"
Then had we not better drop and
see where we are?" asked Willie
Certainly" answered Woo Wang.
We'll go down this side of the noun
tain" With that he pressed the but
ton, and they slowly fell landing light
'ly in front of an old log house. which
was half hidden by bushy trees.
"Well, 1 declare" exclaimed Woo
Wang. IF we haven't dropped at least
fifty miles below Towntree. I was here
in this same spot over hundred years
ago, when men were cutting the logs
for this very house We might as we'll
go in and see who lives here"
Through the cracks between the
weather beaten logs they saw a few
tiny streams of light. Woo walked up
to the door and gave it a thump with
his fist. In a second the lights were out
and the boys could hear persons inside
talking in excited whispers. Woo
knocked again, and receiving no an
swer, struck the boards a third time
with the same result.
So he put his ear to a crack and lis.
tened while Willie knelt and tried to
peep under the door. Not a thing could
Willie see and not a sound could Woo
hear.
While they listened and peeped four
burly men left the log house by rear
door and stealthily crept around to the
front. Then Woo, hearing a cry, turned
just in time to be seized by two of
them and see his companion struggling
in the clutches of the others.
Woo reached for his button, but be-
fore he could touch it with his finger
his hands were seized and tied behind
him.
The next he knew a stick was tied
crosswise between his teeth so ne
could not speak, the door of the log
house opened and he and his compan-
ion were carried inside and thrown on
the floor. Then a number of lamps
were lighted and the young adventur-
ers were given an opportunity to look
about them.

had gone down No. shaft to save the
entombed men. No one knew just how,
nor asked. It was a ray of hope, and
heartsick women joined with willing
men in the rush to the head of No. 6,
just as a second deep-toned boom fell
upon their ears.
Lucy leaned family against Pastor
Marvin. who had been passing from
group to group, praying and admins
tering words of comfort, but who now
stood silent and haggard. with his eyes
straining toward the shaft. Was Ar
thur alive or had that blast been his
death knell?. The silence which fol-
lowed was the silence of death. From
the top of No. came no sound. Wom-
en- looked into each others eyes and
hope died down again. A young girl
whose lover was with the Inflated
group underground, fell unconscious at
Pastor Marvin's feet, but he did not
see her.
Hank! Yes; the clang of the engi-
neer's bell. Some one was alive and
signaling. Men fought for the right
to answer that call. but Seeger's hand
was first. Up-up-slowly-s slowly
came the carriage. What would il
bring to the waiting women-life OF
death? Now it reached the head OF
the shaft, and a singed, puffed, but
living face appeared above its rim
What mattered it that several fingers
were gone-that the flesh quivered and
stung? Here were life, and air-and
mother. A woman sprang forward with
a great cry of joy and knelt beside
the bruised form. Seeger was stepping
up on the carriage at the head of the
rescuing party. when he felt a light
pressure on his arm. Lucy spoke in
low tones.
His father-he wishes to go down
Perhaps Arthur"
Seeger put the other men aside. Pas
tor Marvin walked silently on the car
riage, then Seeger motioned Lucy to
follow. Down--down-to that awful
uncertainty they dropped. The air was
still thick with smoke and dust. After
signaling the engineer above to stop
the carriage Seeger led them along the
gangway toward the No. Z workings
They could see dimly the great gap
in the earth. through which Arthur
and Caughey, the latter bruised and
bleeding. but still stanch and strong,
were drawing a limp figure.
BY the pickering lamps of the rescu-
ing party Arthur's face looked discol-
ored and drawn He did not see Lucy,
and she sprang forward with a glad
cry. Then she stopped suddenly. After
to-day her love would come first, al
ways-always. but this she recognized
as the appointed hour for another.
She drew back. A tall. erect figure
strobe through the uncertain light, a
trembling hand rested on Arthurs
shoulder and voice shaken with feel
ing exclaimed:
arthur. my son, my son-'greater
love hath no man than this. but II
did not understand. You must for
