A member OF the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen furnished the Echo
with the following account of an inter
esting meeting of that order last We'd
nesday:
Fourth Vice Grand Master of the B,
of L. F., Eugene A. Ball, in company
with J. A. Cochran, Salaried Chairman
of the Great Northern Railway gave the
members of sol B. of L. F., of Leaven-
worth, very pleasant call on Wednes-
day afternoon at the Fraternal hall. To
our surprise we were able to congre-
gate fourteen members and the after
noon was spent in instructions in the
secret work, this being the duty of the
Vice Grand Master on his visits to the
local lodges.
The visitors were entertained at tea
at $50 by Brother j. c. Davis after
which the evening was spent at the
home of Brother Shell. After gener-
al hand shaking and good bye the visit
ors departed on No. for Spokane.

On Wednesday evening at $50 dis
tinct trembling Of the earth was noticed
by many people. The writer felt the
frame house in which he was at the time
tremble very distinctly and made the
remark at the time that it was an earth.
quake. This was confirmed by the
Thursday papers which report that it
was felt all over the Puget Sound coun-
try. In Seattle and Tacoma it must
have been more severe than here as
people are reported as having rushed
out of their homes in fright. In many
places two distinct shocks were felt.
Here so far as known only one was no
ticed which lasted about q quarter OF a
minute, and it was not so severe as to
brighten anyone. All the reports from
over on the Sound say that it was felt
about s:2e or eight minutes earlier than
here. At Snohomish il was sensibly
and accompanied by dull rumbling
sound.

Some Potato Experiments.

Potato growers will be largely inter-
ested in the following summary of re-
suits brought out by some recent ex-
periments of the Texas station:
Potatoes planted three inches deep
maturcd earlier and produced larger
crop than those planted four and one
half and six inches deep. Level culture
proved more profitable than bedding
and ''hilling up" the rows. The gray
sandy-clay soil, with gray subsoil at

ably to application of acid phosphate
than to any other single fertilizer In
complete fertilizer, potash over six
per cent. was Improbable, while un-
usually large percentages (eight per
cent and 10 per cent? of phosphoric
acid greatly increased the yield. Cot
ton-seed meal applied only few days
before planting was too slowly avail

early potatoes.--Midland Farmer.

this judgment. He says: Last, winter |

IMPROVING THE SOIL.
Restoring Fertility to
WornOut Soils.


In one of the year books of the de.
partment of agriculture, Washington,
considerable space is given to dis
cussion of leguminous crops. 1t Ia
pointed out that modern agricultural
chemists have discovered that legumi-
nous crops are not only consumers of
available plant foods, but they actually
manufacture the most valuable and
most essential heterogeneous compounds,
using the free gaseous nitrogen of the
air. This transformation of an inert
gas takes place through the agency of
minute, almost infinitesimal bacteria,
living within the tissues of the roots of
plants of this order, producing knot
like swellings or gals upon them.
Each variety Of legume has its own Pc
culiar bacterium, on whose presence it
Is dependent, and unless its particular
species of bacterium comes in contact
with and infests the roots. the plant
cannot get more nitrogen than could
be secured by the roots of grass or
tobacco plant. 1t can then only take
up such nitrogen as Is already present
in the soil in available or soluble form.
If these bacteria are entirely absent
from the soil, the clover or bean will
not fully develop unless an abundance
nf coll, h1a pitrofoC ora pracanf
The wonderful dependence of plants
of the clover family upon the minute
bacteria which live within the root It's
sues offers an explanation of the fail
ure of such crops when tried upon soils
not previously devoted to their cult
walton. 1t has been found by expert.
ment in this country and abroad that
such new leguminous crops may be
successfully cultivated by inoculating
the land either with artificial prepa "a
lions or cultures containing these
germs, or with soil from a field where
this crop has been previously grown.
Good results are also sometimes Sc.
cured by treating the seed preliminary
to sowing. By such an incubation the
yield of total dry matter has been in
creased sometimes from tenfold to
thirtyfold. Moreover, it is found that
there are no gall tubercles formed on
the roots of leguminous crops when
these nitrogen bacteria are not present
in soil, and hence there can be no
utilization of gaseous atmospheric nj.
trogen by them.
Nitrogen is the most important plant
food. 1t is the most expensive fertili.
ger when purchased in artificial ma
nures. 1t Is also the most necessary
element of animal foods; for when il
is entirely absent, or present In suffi
cient quantities, there can be neither
growth nor the complete repair OF
WORKOUT tissue. Hence, it can readily
be understood why the abundant cul
tivation of leguminous crops is so nee
essary. The legumes are the only
crops which WILL when plowed under
increase the total of fertilizing mate
rails of the soil.

ARTISTS AND PICTURES.

The pictures and drawings which were
at one time feature of the once cele-
brated Chat Noir have been recently
sold in Paris. The collection only
brought $4,000.
The three most important prizes
awarded this year by the Berlin Acad-
envy of Fine Arts went to Hans Muller
and Herbert Arnold, painters, and Alex
ander Hohrath, architect.
Glenn Brown, the well-known Wash
ington architect, has been elected an
honorary corresponding member OF the
Royal Institute of British Architects.
Only six other American architects have
been honored in this way.
Last February the Louvre bought for
$4,000 the sculptured STEELE known as
that of King Serpent, supposed to have
been found at Abydos, but doubts are
expressed as to its authenticity, and an
investigation has been ordered.
John S. Sargent, whom three coun-
tries claim, America for his parentage,
Italy for the chance of his birth and
England for his adoption, has received
an election to the Royal Society of
Painters in Water Colors. He has three
water colors in the current exhibition:
Facade of the Salute, Venice, Grand
Canal" "a Venetian Trattoria" and "a
Garden Vase"
The collection of paintings by native
Filipino artists In the art gallery of the
Administration building on the Philip
pine reservation at the st. Louis expo
sition offers, it is said, graphic story
of the Spanish dynasty, the war which
wrought its downfall and the new au-
thority of the United States. Most of
the canvases are excellent specimens of
art, and doubtless no feature of the ex-
position will surprise visitors more than
that these paintings should have come
out of the Philippine islands. One of the
canvases represents the death of Gen
Lawton, and is wonderfully exact rep
resentation, according to soldiers who
were present when that gallant leader
fell.
