Air In thu Soil


It has long been known that air in
the soil Is 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
considerable extent by the depth to
which the air penetrates. How, then,
does the air penetrate the soil?- Ex-
cept under special conditions, it 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 vice 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-
variable 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 stratifed soils the per-
meability depends entirely on the
finest grained layer, even II the layer
is very thin. In very impermeable
soil the permeability is increased to .
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-
ity of the soil. All soils rich in clay
and humus become impermeable at .
point below saturation. II 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 precinitation

INCREASING CROWDS.
Throngs on Water Front but No Work
For Police.

The crowd steadily increased all
morning, and by the time the second
race was run and the yachts We're ready
to start there was an immense throne
along the front. Special police had
been detailed for duty but there was
nothing for them to do. The crowd was
very orderly. An officer was also sta
toned on the judges barge. He had
the soft" beat of the day.
Diogenes Camarinos was on the barge.
"Cammy'' was wise as to affiliations
with clubs. He appeared in a wonder
full new hat around the rim of which
were the colors of all three clubs. Ca
marinos doesn't belong to any one and
he sympathizes with all. He hoped the
best crews would win.
The weather was anXiously watched
all morning, for signs as to the wind,
which was not all that could be de-
sired, by any means. A fair breeze
sprung up as the noon hour approached
but it appeared to be only an off-shore
current of air from the mountains, and
while the yachts were all right when
they We're in the harbor, they found
themselves without much wind when
they got outside.
The committee in charge of the ar
provided fine luncheon for
its guests on the judges barge, and
every facility for seeing and judging the
races was at hand. The management
was excellent, and the arrangements
for the day were well carried out.
