Fertilizer from the Air.

The problem of obtaining nitrogen
from the atmosphere for fertilizing the
land appears to have been solved, at
least from a scientific point of view. by
DR.. Erlwein, a German experimenter.
His method is first to separate nitro
gen from oxygen by passing an air-cur-
rent over red-hot copper, when the oxy-
gen combines with metal, leaving the nj
trogen free. Then the nitrogen is caused
to combine in an electric furnace with a
mixture of powdered charcoal and lime.
The product is a black substance suit
able to be spread on the land, and pos
sessing the fertilizing properties of Chill
saltpeter and potassium nitrate. 1t re-
mains to be demonstrated that the new
fertilizer can be produced on large
scale and at an economical cost.

There is also a group of diseases

The former generally begins at the
junction of the lower gum and the
teeth, and may destroy the tissues
down TO the bone. 1t is mighty con-

surface Of the cheek, and causes ex-
tensive destruction. Its progress is so
rapid that it sometimes terminates

Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair,

The American Indian, accustomed from
time immemoral to go bareheaded in all
kinds of weather, is never troubled with
falling hair or badness.
The close atmosphere caused by our
civilized" head-gear is conducive to the
breeding of infinitesimal germs which dig
into the scalp and thrive on the sap Of
the hair root.
This true cause Of badness is Of recent
discovery and explains the, non-success
of all hair vigors which treated badness
as a functional disorder.
