Attacks kuropatkin.

ST. Petersburg. Feb. 1s.-The arrival
in st. Petersburg of General Grippen-
berg, former commander of the Second
Manchurian army, who reached here
at midnight, has caused sensation in
military circles. The general frankly
avows that he relinquished his com
mand after the recent attempt of the
Russians to flank Field Marshal
Oyama, because, as he claims, General
Kuropatkin refused to send him help
when victory was in General Grippen-
bergs hands. instead ordering the lat
ter to withdraw.
Grippenberg will personally report
on the situation to Emperor Nicholas.

Scales on the Farm.

So far as possible, farming opera
tons should be reduced to an exact
science. The old ways of feeding by
guess and even buying and selling by
guess should give way to weighing
and measuring everything. In the
feeding of grains and ground grains
scales rather than measures should
be depended upon. Different kinds OF
grains vary greatly in their weight
and if man tries to measure them
out he is sure to give more at one
time than at another. Some of the
brans on the market differ exceeding
~ in this respect. Some of them are
very light, being hardly more than the
hull OF the wheat. while others are
quite heavy and consist largely OF
middlings. If man has scales, he
can very easily feed about the same
amount of food each day, and there
fore become better informed as to the
requisite food required to produce a
certain effect. Scales can now be
bought at a5very low price, and a few
dollars invested in scales will give
good returns indirectly for many
years to come

CHAPTER XIV.

AS l said in the foregoing chapter,
the days Immediately following the
death OF the prefetto and the Count di
Pordino were exciting ones.
A new prefetto was appointed by
the king, and he proved to be a gem
erous and intellectual man, at whose
hands we received the kindest treat
ment.
The villa of Maligni remained in his
family, and the new prefetto resided
at the prefettura in the old castle in
Cagliari, with his wife, a charming
woman, and his daughters, accom-
plished young ladies about the age of
Mia.
Here Nita remained as his guest
during the remainder of our stay in
Sardinia, while Mutterelli and took
up our abode at the splendid but neg
lected Villa di Thorlano, as the guest
OF Thorlane.
Under the new prefetto all my be-
lonsfnSs were restored to me, and
was once more in possession of the
letter of Antonio Sigmotta, and the
locket and pin that had belonged to
the infant Alice Graviscourt.
The Importance of these was greatly
augmented by another document
which contained the statement of
Dambo, duly attested by the new pre-
fetto. and the import of which will be
duly disclosed.
] made Nita Barlotti fully acquaint-
ed with the significance of these
things; and our Impotence to be of
to America to finish our work was
generously met by the new prefetto,
who aided us in every way. and final
ly saw lis depart from Cagliari with
many expression of regret.
Thorlane wished to have the mar
riage of Nita and himself solemnized
before leaving, but she archly bade
him be patient, for there was plenty
of time; and she preferred to know
the truth concerning herself before
she became his wife.
To our united voices. Thorlane
laushingly yielded. and placing his
estate in competent hands, to be cared
for until his return for final adjust
ment. he announced himself as ready
to start.
SO We took a steamer to Genoa.
where made good my promises to the
faithful Mutterell, and placed to his
account fifty thousand lire, equal to
about ten thousand dollars.

or so. they were taken on board q
sailing vessel which was bound for
Lisbon, and which had stopped at the
Azores for water. From Lisbon he
came to Italy, and at Genoa sought
his old friend Mutterelli, whom he felt
he could trust implicitly. Being in
formed that Mutterelli was in Cagliari
with Signor Wilperton of New York,
Thorlane made all preparation to en-
ter the country where his life and lib
erty were not safe, and the day he saw
me wounded by the wayside was his
first day in Cagliari. He had found
Mutterelli, and these two at once en-
tered into secret compact, the re.

he initiated Brother Michael" and it

gave him that enabled the putative
monk to compel the band of Count di
Pordino to withdraw just when they
held victory in their grasp.

A large part of the sewage of
Paris is disposed of in this
way. The results are excellent, and
the fertility is SO readily available for
the use of plants that some of the sew.
age farms produce three crops of COM

things as lettuce grow well and sell
well. There is no prejudice against

Food of Root-TubercIe Bacteria.


AS yet our scientists know but lit
tie regarding the great world OF bac-
terra that has been opened to us in
this generation. We have supposed
that the tubercles on the roots of pod,
bearing plants were supplied theil
nitrogen by the bacteria, which took
it from the earth and from the air.
When lime has been added to soils,
the bacteria have in many cases been
more vigorous, but this was judged to
be due to the naturalization of acid by
the lime. 1t may be, however, that
these bacteria actually use lime and
magnesium as part of their food. A
French professor, H. Flamand, has
been making some experiments in the
development of tubercles with wa.
ter cultures. The different kinds of
pod-bearing plants behaved very diff.
ferently. Thus. vetches refused TO
produce tubercles, unless they were
supplied with magnesium, while both
vetches and beans showed they must
have either lime or magnesium if they
were to produce tubercles. Potash
salts and lime salts stimulated the de.
velopment OF the root tubercles. Now
the question is. do the bacteria re.
quire these elements for food?
