In former times it was the custom Of
clockmakers to inscribe on the dial
plates of their clocks quaint verses,
one Of the most common being the fol-
lowing:
serve thee here with all my might
To tell the hours by day, by night.
Therefore example take by me
To serve thy God as 1 serve thee.
Another favorite inscription was
''Tempus Fugit." or thine Flies and

WHEN shall we reach the limit of
erecting tall buildings? There virtually
appears to be no limit to the upward
trend of architectural construction. The
latest is fifty story tower which is to
be constructed by he Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company in New York City
1t will ia reality be more of tower than
house. The twenty third story will be
1874 feet above the sidewalk, while the
highest point for observation will be 633
feet. No woodwork will be used 10 its
construction or finish unless the same is
protected with metal No doubt the
building of such lofty structures will be
continued until some terrible disaster
occurs, which may induce men to carry
on their business affairs nearer the earth.

THE department of soils of the state
university, consisting of Professors A. r.
Whitson, G. w. Stoddart and A. F. Nc
Leod, has been carrying on interesting
Investigations regarding the factors
chat affect the presence of nitrogen in
soil. The Importance of nitrogen as an
element of plant nutrition has been gen
orally recognized, but all the causes that
result in its presence in soil have not
been determined. On account of the
importance ef this matter, full study
of the changes in nitrogen content in
4ield soils under various systems OF farm
ing has been undertaken. The work sc
far has involved the collection of sam
piles of soils from large number OF
fields the history of which is fairly well
known, and of samples of the virgin soil
surrounding and adjacent to them. Els
Inmates have been made as to the amount
of nitrogen removed by crops, and the
amount added in manure or by clover.
