Fixing atmospheric nitrogen.

Foreign investigators have been
studying the methods proposed by a
compan- located at Niagara Falls for
the fixation OF atmospheric nitrogen by
electrical discharges. As is well
known, nitrogen IS one of tie most
valuable elements utilized In the COM
merciai arts and industries, especially
in agriculture, and yet 1t Is one of the
most difficult to obtain. From time to
time schemes have been proposed for
utilizing bacteria, and chemical and
electrical methods for fixing the atmos.
pheric nitrogen, but the electrical pro-
cess recently perfected appears to offer
the most economical end tactical
means. The efficiency of the process
has been greatly increased, the cost
now being reduced to about 1.5 cents
per pound. Success Is entirely de-
pendent OIL the cost of electric power.
and probably current can be obtained
as cheaply at Niagara Falls as at any
place on the face Of the gIobe,-

Chinese and Christian % Morality.

To the Chinese we are always the
barbariGns and they themselves are the
refined. Their civilization is far more
complex than ours.
The ethical basis OF the condition
that modern Europeans and Americans
consider civilization Is based OH the
Christian precept ordering men to do
unto others as they would be done un-
to them.
That system means the revolution
jZing OF ouI brute nature from the out
set, because nature is selfish.
The Chinese moral code seeks no
such rude reversion OF the natural or.
der. 1t recognizes the instincts OF men
and lays down rules to regulate those
instincts. The rules thus rendered
necessary provide for almost every
contingency In life save the possibility
that the good instincts in the heart
may be stronger than the vicious ones.
Their extent and universally, how.
ever. are stupendous. They are monu.
ments to the perseverance Of the Chi.
nese philosophers. and the modern Chi
nese think them more praiseworthy
than our basic rule, which obviates tie
necessity Of regulating conduct In oil
emergencies by any special regulations.
The Chinaman Is probably far more
careful In observing ninety -one out of
every hundred Of his own complex
rules OK life than we are about our sole
hasic maxim.-World.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

In the good old times charity began
Mt home. To avoid this evil, modern
aristocracy builds mansions and pal
aces. but not homes.
Though we may have worked hard
to achieve any great movement. we
may not always be fortunate enough
to reap the benefits arising thererrom.
Active love Is attainable only for
him who doe not place his happiness
in his individual life, and who also
gives free play to feeling of good will
towards others.
There, are loyal h.arts, there are spirits
brave,
There are souls that are good and true;
Then give to the world the best that you
Eave,
And the best will come back to you.
When 1t is not one thing, it is ant
other thing that breaks into hhman
calculations and bankrupts them.
