GIVES VlCOR. TO THE SOIL

Recent Investigations indicate that
the chief source Of the enrichment IF
the soil, noted particularly in wooded
lands, is not altogether due to con-
servation of the moisture and the ad-
dition to the soil of needed elements
by the decomposition Of the fallen
leaves. OF probably greater impolr
lance is the 6xation of atmospheric
nitrogen by dead forest leaves when
these rest on moist substratum Of
soil: In effect this phenomenon is
similar to that which is produced by
the tubercle growths on the roots Of
legumes and allied plant families.
A. similar observation has been made
In regard to the mountain pine, which,
If verified, will account for the hardi-
ness Of this tree and the ease with
which it maintains itself in soils that
contain comparatively few nutrients.
It has been found by the Danish
Heather Improvement society, which
is interested in planting trees on bar
rem sandy stretches on the western
coast of Jutland. that spruce and

situation. The Chinese had not, in
deed, realized what it implied, and the
sinking of the Kowshing, with 1000
men on board, and the crushing defeat
inflicted by Admiral Ito on the Chi
nese squadron under brave Admiral
Ting (September ~ were the conse-
quences. In the present war the con-
ditions were different. The Russians,
having lost all immediate hope of as
sorting supremacy at sea, could not
move man afoat. To transport
troops from Dalny or Port Arthur to
the mouth of the Yalu was impossible
Not less impossible was it for them to
risk an action, as the Chinese did at
Pingyang, lest the Japanese should
throw forces ashore in their rear. The
only doubt is whether they were wise,
in view Of like danger, in holding the
line of the Yalu at all.
The positions on the Yalu occupied
by the Chinese in 1894 were the same
as those held by the Russians on May
/. and the Japanese tactics were pre-
cisely the same. A little reading of. re-
cent history should have taught Gen.
Kuropatkin what to expect. 1t is par
ticularly interesting to observe how
the same causes have led to the same
effect. If, in the following brief &C
count of the battle of October Is, 1894,
Russians be read for Chinese" and
the details taken mutatis mutandis,
the recent events will be found de-
scribed: Gen. Sung had under his COM
mand about 10000 Chinese. on the
heights about Kiuliencheng, with about
$500 more under Gen. 1kotenga little
higher up the river. The Japanese had

ent time, though it would be unwise to
attempt to forecast whether the place
will fall by storm, by the slow process
of siege, or by famine. Oyama's troops
were landed at the mouth of the Hua-
yuan river, near to Pitszewo, in the vi
cinity Of which place the Japanese
have landed recently. The movements
of 1894 may be taken to indicate those
of the present time. The earlier dis
embarkation commenced on October "a
and Port Arthur was captured on No.
vember Fl. The troops moved west
through the peninsula, and on Novem-
Der the walled town of Kinchou was
captured near the narrowest part Of
the isthmus, and the, occupation Of Ia
lienwan followed on the next day. It
Is not permissible to doubt that thu
Japanese are now engaged in like
movements.
From the first landing up to the eve
of the attack, the assailants had been
four weeks in making their prepara-
tons. Whether the same rapidly eau
characterize the present operations re-
mains to be SEEM. Port Arthur then
was strong, but now it is far more for
midable, and it IS fair to assume that
there will be a resolute defence. It is
possible, therefore, that the Japanese
may think it wiser to await the tSme
when the place may fall without q
blow. JOHN LEYLAND.z :

mountain pine, when planted together
in pairs, mutually help each other to
thrive, the valuable nitrogen-fxing
functions of the pine serving to pro-
vide nourishment for both trees It
has been repeatedly observed that
where such trees are planted in prox-
unity on barren lands if the pine IL
cut down while the spruce is stiu
young the latter will die or else make
q, sickly growth: On the contrary,
curiously enough, II the pine is not
cut down until after tbs spruce gets a
good start the latter will make better
progress than if the pine had been all
lowed to live.

China, it is not surprising, though it is
noteworthy, that their movements
have not differed very greatly. In
June, 1894, Gen. Oshima, and in the
following September Marshal Yama-
gaia, landed at Chemulpo, and
marched on Seoul, just as Gen. Kuro-
ki's troops did in February last. The
Chinese were then in great strength in
Korea, and were defeated near Asan,
south of Seoul, on July 20; but the
whole course of the operations was to
drive them west OF the Yalu. They
made great stand at Pingyang, where
they were defeated in a sanguinary ac-
ton by Gen. Nodzu on September Is,
but after that they retreated to the
very same positions on the right bank
Of the Yalu from which the Russians
under Gen. Sassulitch, were driven
with such great loss on May /.
The command of the sea was then,
as it is now, the ruling factor in the

SLAMS can have failed to anticipate
what happened. AS in the case of the
Chinese, if their left was turned all
else was lost, and nothing remained
but for the troops further south to ex-
tricate themselves as best they could,
and retreat north to Fengwangcheng.
The repeated attacks made by Ac-
miral Togo upon Port Arthur have
shown the great significance attached
by the Japanese to the presence there
Of Russian naval force in which
there remained some spark of vitality
In 1894 the Chinese fleet had already
been defeated, and, having no inten-
ton of further trying conclusions
with the Japanese, Admiral Ting had
dispatched his remaining ships to Wei
haiwei, where they were dealt with
later on. The operations of Marshal
Oyama, however, for the capture Of
Port Arthur may be taken to FORE
shadow what is happening at the pres

reached Wiju, ana made great DEM
onstration against Kiuliencheng. while
they prepared to overwhelm the Chi
nese left. AS is well known, the Aiho
joins the Yalu from the north, and in
the angle formed by the two rivers the
Chinese were posted on the prominent
height of>Husan. The Yalu was rapidly
bridged-and it was 200 yards vide
and, early in the morning Of October
Is the Chinese were driven from HUI
san, making no very good defence, and
retired behind the Aiho, which the
Japanese forded, and confirmed the
success. Kiuliencheng had become un-
tenable, and the Chinese, who had
large numbers killed and wounded, fled
in confusion, losing heavily in the re-
treat to Fengwangcheng.

1894 and 1904 is complete, and it Is

Though now making advance in in.
dustrial matters, Russia is distinctly
an agricultural nation, 80 per cent. Of
all her people are peasants. The peas
ant rents from the landlord, as in Ire
land; the landlord. generally an absen.
tee, sQuandering his wealth abroad
and letting the cultivation of the land
rest with the peasant. Russia is very
large and very poor, which facts par
TALLY explains the lack of education
among the masses. The number of
those that cannot read and write is
shamefully high, Is per cent, and
while there exists among the better
classes realization that the nation is
Of the muzhik, yet the fear that the lat
ter may prove too strong if allowed
an education has caused the ruling
conservatives to keep the school book
from him.
Though the Russian peasant of to-day
is degraded and squalid, his condition is
not nearly so low as it was back in the
days of serfdom. The rural population of
Russia by the eighteenth century was
grouped in one common class, the serts,
regarded as the property of the landed
proprietor of the state, and class OF
abuses which repeatedly called for re-
forms. About the middle of the last cen
fury, under Alexander H., powerful
! liberal reaction was inaugurated. The
year 1861 was marked by the sup
preston of serfdom; in 1864 refor-
nations were made in the courts
of justice and the jury system; in
1865 steps were taken towards provin-
cial self-government. These reforms
stirred the apparently Indifferent, fatal
istic Russian, and there sprang up in the
country a band of enthusiastic youth
fred with the desire to aid the submerged
majority. Russia's autocracy saw only
cause for fear in the movement and fool
ishly and cruelty set to work to stamp
out the spirit of brotherhood that was
abroad. The would-be reformers were
arrested, put in prisons, sentenced be-
hind closed doors to Siberian exile. The
nihilists now changed their tactics,
turned from reformers to assassins;
banded themselves into secret society,
