out that it consists chiefly of nitro
gen and oxygen. Explain the nature
of oxygen. That it is colorless, oder-
less, invisible gas, and that it is nee
essary to combustion of any kind.
Nitrogen is similarly odorless and
colorless, but plays no part in COM
bustion. It is an inert, inactive gas.
In an atmosphere of pure nitrogen
candle cannot burn nor could an
animal live. In an atmosphere of
pure oxygen a candle would burn
much faster than in ordinary air,
and an animal would not suffer from
a lack of nitrogen nor would it need
to breathe so fast to secure the
amount of oxygen required to sus-
tain life. If possible show the pu-
pills oxygen and illustrate its effect
upon combustion. A third impor-
tant air constituent is carbon diox-
ide. This is produced whenever car
bon burns, and also from the lungs
of all animals. This gas is neces-
sary to the growth of green plants.

the fact that a stream consists of

Nature Study for Late March.

cnllQren may De calIeQ TO the cOm-
parative length of the day and night,
making observations both upon the
length as recorded in the almanac,
and as determined by sunrise and
sunset. These observations should
continue throughout the month in
orde- to discover what change there
is from day to day.
The value of soil as a filter may
be demonstrated by filling can with
perforated bottom with soils of
various kinds, sand or clay or gar
den soil, ETC.. and then passing
through it water containing impur-
tiles. Notice both the effect of the
soil upon the water and the water
upon the soil.
Second Grade.-See if you can
discover any constant relation be-
tween temperature and rainfall. Does
rain more often occur when it is
cold or when it is warm? When it

Third Grade.-You may take up
a study of the soil somewhat agri-
ccltural in nature by observing the
difference between sterile and fertile
soil. Pick out small region of the
poorest soil you know of and a re-
gion similar in size of the richest
soil you know. Plant both beans and
corn in it. Which plant is best
adapted to the poor soil Weigh the
crop when it is mature and see how
great the difference between these
two soils really is.
For your study of the weather
you may compare the weather record
of this month and that of September.
Is it much colder? Are there more
or less rainy days? Has the pre-
vailing direction of the wind
changed?
Fourth Grade.-A little walk into
an adjoining country is sure to re-
veal some valleys. Note that every
valley is formed by two sloping land
surfaces. If these land surfaces are
very steep the valley would be called
ravine. The steepness of the land
surfaces depends largely upon the
age of the valley If the valley is
very young the sides will be almost
rrecipitous as you may observe by
examining any gully washed by the
last rain. As the years go by the
banks of this gully would contin-
ually follow toward the center. be-

STATEHOOD LEGISLATION.

It Is still an open question whether
anything will be done toward admit
ting new states at this session OF
congress. says the Denver Republi-
can. The House will o accept the
Senate amendment admitting New
Mexico as one state and leaving Ari-
IONA out, and 1t is doubtful If the
senate will recede from its position.
Defeat Of the measure will send
the whole matter over to the nexI
congress. 1t is probable that in that
event a separate bill will be introdu-
ced to admit Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, and hat another bill will
be introduced to admit New Mexico
and Arizona as one state. There is
little probability that either OF the
last two territories named will be
admitted by itself in the near future.
The need of strong states has not
been sufficiently considered by the
people of the Far West to make them
appreciate that a great, powerful
state composed Of Arizona and New
Mexico combined would be of more
value to this section han two addi-
tional senators in congress. To secure
the additional two senator's the de-
velopment of a powerful. s~elf-sustain-
ing state would nave to be abandon
ed, and two feeble states would have
to be erected instead.
The whole country. and particularly
the Far West should get away from
the idea that the chief reason for de
manding statehood is to secure repre-
sentation in congress. Representation
in both branches OF congress. and par
ticularly in the senate. is desirable.
but OF far more value Is the right OF
the people to govern themselves In
their local or state affairs.

As q rule the requirement of ter

this is the opportunity and this is the
inducement held out to the people OF
Arizona. The bill which they so Wig
orously condemned proposed in sub
stanc to extend the boundaries of
Arizona far enough to include New
Mexico. The name of Arizona would
be retained, and in compensation for
this the New Mexico part OF the pro-
posed state would secure the tempo

The two combined would make one

But one state government would have
to be sustained and in consequence
il would be all the more efficient. In
