ALKALINg oR sALINs sous.
Not So by Nature But Lack Of Rain
Causes the Condition.

Alkaline and saline soils are not so
by nature. but are so only because
the climates in which they exist are
largely dry and the rain water is not
abundant enough TO wash out the
alkaE and the salt In the semi-arid
west the evaporation is very great
and large part of the water in the
soil never reaches the rivers. but is
carried OF into the air by the process
OF evaporation. The salts and alkalies
or the soil have been set loose from
the rocks and lodges IN their slow
decomposition. Were the soil water
enough abundant these salts and al
kalies would have been carried down
into the sea. As il was, they were
carried up by the slow movement up
ward OF the soil water
Even in humid climates there are
found here and there places that are
so alkaline that the ordinary farm
crops cannot be raised. says Farmers
Review The reason for this is OF the
same nature as in the other case.

round the rim of which was a strip OF
barren soil This barrenness had
been caused by the evaporation OF the
water from that pond. The secret
was that the pond had no outlet deep
enough 20 draw on its waters. When
the summer DAYS became dry and the
sun hot the outlet was rendered use
less by the waters OF the pond having
been evapoTated TO such an extent
that the surface was lower than the
outlet The sides OF the pond then
acted like lamp wick drawing the
water from the pond and evaporating
Il into the air. In this process all the
salts In the pond and the little alkan
there was passed through this earthen
lampwick. aud i'm the evaporation OF
the water the chemical contents Of the
water were left behind. While the
amounts IN the water were not great
enough 20 cause barrenness, when
these chemicals became concentrated
In little area of soil. they became

ROAD TARRING.
Il Is Carried on on a Large Scale In
France.

Road-tarring on q large scale has
been seen In France during .he prep
aration for the Grand Prix race The
tarrlng is carried out on the Lassail-
~ system by the use OF the most inn
proved apparatus for heating the tar
and applying Il 20 the surface OF the
road. Commenced on the 25th OF May.
the operation lasted scarcely ten DAYS
for the 100000 square yards which
were covered. employing two gangs.
each made up Of six drivers and eight
horses, together with eight men for
spreading the tar. counting the men
needed for sanding the road after the
tarring. A fine road Is the result OF
this operation, says the Scientific
American, and II shows that by the
use OF the proper apparatus a large
extent OF road can be treated within
a short time and with small amount
OF labor. AT the last moment the ex-
cess OF sand which covers the LAYER OF
tar will be swept on by the four
sweeper wagons employed by NJ. Las
sally, when the cars will be able 10
run under ideal conditions. Such a
process, far from being an extra ex-
pense. is now recognized as an actual
economy, seeing that the cost OF keen
ing up the road becomes much less
ana this pays for the tarring ex-
penses, and may even exceed the lat
ter. as has been found during a long
series OF observations made in France.

LAND LAW REPEAL.
Hansbroueh Bill Reported by Senate
Committee.

Washington.-The Senate public
lands committee Saturday authorized
favorable report upon the Hans
brough bill to repeal the timber and
stone act, amending it, however, in
many important particulars.
The bill as amended, and which
probably will pass the Senate, repeats
the timber and stone act and provides
that hereafter no lands chiefly valu-
able for timber shall be subject to sale
or entry. Timber on such lands shall
be appraised and sold by the secretary
of agriculture at public or private sales
to the highest bidder. Ten per cent.
of the profits shall be given to states
to be expended on public roads and for
the benefit of public schools in coun-
ties in which the timber is sold, and
ninety per cent. shall be covered into
the national irrigation fund. A pen
atty of fine and Imprisonment is pro-
vided as punishment for persons cut
ting timber on the public domain, or
maliciously setting fire to timber of
underbrush. Provision is made for
free use by settlers of timber for farm
and domestic purposes. Land chiefly
valuable for commercial stone shall be
subject to entry under the placer min
ing laws.

Million Japanese Starving.

New York.-The New York state
branch OF the American National Red
Cross has issued statement saying
The famine in Japan, which has
been considered for some time mod
erately serious, is now known. as the
result of reliable private advices re
ceived by the New York State Red
Cross. to be one Of the most terrible
starvation emergencies of modern
ern times. The failure of the rice crop,
which at one time was believed to be
limited tocertain places in the northern
provinces, has been found to be gen
eral in these parts of Japan and con
servative estimates place the number
of starving japanese at from 100000
to 100000 persons. For this there
is no relief in sight until next October,
when the next harvest will be gath
cred, and sl6.O00.00O will be required
TO save the japanese country people.

Trust to Nature.

l. rreat many Americans, both men
and women are thin. pale and puuy, with
POOR circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs ny nasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close contne-
ment to home, office or factory, aud in con-
sequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
fnany such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin-blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result

for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians Of this
country before the advent OF the whites
which later came to the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
RAPIDLY in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER

These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
