When to Lime the Soil.

So many inquiries are received ask
Ing for information concerning the lit
mus paper test for ascertaining soil
acidity that the directions are given
in this department again. Buy from
the druggist 1O-cent strip Of blue
litmus paper and cut 1t into strips an
inch wide and three inches long, for
convenience. Molsten with water the
soil to be tested and let 1t partially
dry out, then with trowel or spade
make an incision in the soil sufficient
~ deep to take in the strip of blue
litmus paper. Be careful that the end
held in the fingers is not moIstened.
Insert the strip Of paper in the soil
for about two inches, then press the
soil close about the paper and permit
1t to remain for an hour.
Pull the paper out carefully, 80 as
not to tear, and rinse the soil of 1t In
clear water. If the blue paper has a
decided red cast, it may be safely de-
cided that the soil is acid and that
lime will be beneficial. This is SIM
pie but reliable test, and there is no ex-
cuse for any farmers guessing that
his soil needs or does not need lime.
How much lime the soil needs will de-
pend upon several things. chiefly ones
pocketboOk, but the best method of
lining Is that which gives yearly ap-
plicatiOns In comparatively small guam
titles, rather than one heavy npplica-
ton. and then none for several years.

strange Underground Noises.

A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders Of the Red Sea at n place
called Nakous. says the Philadelphia
Record, where intermittent under
ground sounds have been heard for IN
unknown number Of centuries. It is
situated at about half mile distant
from the shore. whence a long reach
of sand ascends rapidly to a height
of 800 feet. This reach is about 800
feet wide,, and resembles IN amphi-
theater, being walled by low rocks.
The sounds coming up from the
ground at this place recur at intervals
of about an hour. They at first resem-
BILE low murmur, but ere long there
is heard loud knocking something
like the strokes of bell, and which
at the end of about five minutes be-
comes so strong as to agitate the sand
The explanation of this curious phe-
nomenon given by the Arabs is that
there is a convent under the ground
here and that these monks ring for
prayers. So they call 1t Nakous, which
means n bell. -.
The Arabs affirm that the noise so
frightens their camels when they hear
it as to render them furious. PhiIoso-
pliers attribute the sound to suppress
ed volcanic action-probably to the
bubbling of gas or vapor underground.

TRUE ALASKANs FOR SELF
GOVERNMENT

A tory organ published at Juneau Is
accusing those who would hold an
Alaskan convention at Seattle of desir-
ing TO make this district an annex OF
the State Of Washington, yet the same
paper.isIopposing a proposition to make
Alaska independent of Seattle and other
places which have strings on the ma
tioual congress. The only people who
are consistently contending for the
integrity Of Alaska are those who
would have the people Of the district
those who live here and not in Seattle,
or Portland, or San Francisco, or New
York-govern themselves The true
Alasksns are those who would have
their laws made by the men who
are developing the district by devoting
to it their time and energy and money
and not as the suggestion Of promoters
who are exploiting the district in Seat
tie hotels and on New York curbs, or
their hired lobbyists.
