Siamese Superstitions.

The first thing an orthodox Sia'
mese does in the morning is tc
scare away the family ghosts who
may have gathered about the old
place in the night. Letting of
crackers is an effectual means. At
the new year all the ghosts come
trooping to their former dwellings,.
For three days they have their fun.
At the end of the time the priests
and their aocks fire guns and use
other devices for getting rid Of
them. A Siamese is coffined face
downward, so that the ghost may
not sneak back through the dead
mans mouth. The coffin is taken
out through hole in the wall and
carried several times round the
house In order that the ghost may
be put off the scent and not return
to vex his family. -:

Spuraeon's Blunt Critic.

When Mr.. Spurgeon first began
his ministry an anonymous critic
used to write to him constantly
about his mistakes in grammar and

first resented these criticisms, but
he soon learned to profit by them.
"After awhile" he said in telling
the story, 81 looked for his weekly
memoranda with much interest. If
I repeated a sentence which had
used two or three Sundays before,
he would write, See the same eI-

else, had his pet quotation, and he
used this line, Nothing in my hand

SHOWERS UF FISH.
The Way the Not Unusual Phenomenon
Is Brought About.

The phenomenon Of a shower OF
fish is of more common occurrence
than is generally sunnosed.
1t is undoubtedly due to some
small frv of fishes having been lift
e. from the water and carried over
dry land by what is popularity
known as a waterspout. When two
currents of air travelling in oppo-
site directions meet, the resulting
atmospheric disturbance, if on a
small scale, is called wElr.w!nd
and if on large scale tornado,
the destructive powers of which are
proverbial.
Hon. Ralph Abercromby defines
vhirIwind as "a mass of air whose
height is enormously greater tI.an
its width, rotating rapidly round a
more or less vertical axis" The
mass might be, for instance, 200
feet high and only ten feet in diam
cter. This whirlwind column has a
funnel-like center and may travel
as fast as thirty miles an hour IN a
particular course.
The phenomenon is usually vlsI- Isl
bic in the sky as a descending col
umn. This is owing to the compres,
sion of a cloud within the circuit
of the whirlwind air. Should the
disturbance reach the surface OF the
ground dust, mud and all kinds OF
debris are sucked up into the col,
umn and carried along. If the path
Of the axis of the disturbance crosses
the sea or a river, the surface wa,
ter is whirled up into the funne
and mingles with the whirling col
URN of descending mpor. This ii
the effect known as a waterspout.
When the rotary motion ceases
the accumulated moisture descend
in a cloudburst or as very heav.
rain. The small surface living fr,
of fish in the sea, usually herring O.
even comparatively heavy fish from
shallow inland waters, are frequent

Many cases are reported from
abroad, and they are common Il

ney through the air is never yer
far. Frogs, insects and other NV

to be thus transported through tn

Teachers Associations met at
at the Kingstree Graded school
building on Saturday, Decem-
ber II, 1907, with good attend
ance. The exercises were open
ed with prayer by Rev } f Ma

ing papers were read on the fol-
lowing subjects: "The Rela-

munity" anl SHOULD Prizes be
Offered in our Public Schools?"
Two motions were made and
carried. One to hold the next
regular meeting at Benson, s G,
on Saturday January 25, 1903,
and the other to extend
the thanks of the society
to the resident teachers
for the plentiful repast
served. A goolly number of
new members were enrolled.

To those who do not care to

offering a strictly high grade

is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to.
chemical analysis of each 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 2O0O pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition of meal. it is safe to
assume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
Of cotton seed, therefore, what

USES OF NITROGEN

Of the three essential ele-
ments of fertility in which soils
are likely to be so lacking as to
be unable to produce crops, nj
trogen is the most costly, the
most difficult to procure and the
easiest to lose. As a constituent
of unrefined ammonia it readily
evaporates, as all know who
have either visited a horse stable
or tested an old-fashioned smell
ing bottle. As IA constituent of
any of the common nitrates. and,
indeed, in all or most forms. it
is very readily soluble in water
and quickly teaches out of the
soil. is is essetial to the growth
of plants or animals, and by the
decay of either it is returned to
the soil. Being what it is, it is
naturally the first element to be-
come lacking in soils as the re.
suit of cropping, and, therefore,
the first to be applied in the va
rlous forms of manures. Its
principal sources for manuring
purposes are vegetable matter
plowed into the soil, animal re-
mains or eXereta. and salts, of
which natural deposits are found
in some dry countries. The most
important of these deposits are
those of nitrate of soda in the

lea. These deposits have been
mined for many years, and have
been shipped to all parts of the
world. They are just now worth
$50 per ton in this, city for the
material as it is mined and
shipped, from which one can
Judge OF the cost OF this most
expensive element of fertility.
But the extent of these deposits
is limited and known, and the
period of their exhaustion can
be calculated. No other similar
deposits of consequence are
known, and it is IA favorite the
DRY of the peesimistic sch?ols of
philosophers that with the ex-
haustion of those beds the posi-

which does not originally come
from the soil, and whose tran

As there is a limit to the nitro
gen in the world, some time that
limit must be reached. At that
time it will no longer be possible
to raise crops, and the entire hu-
man race must starye to death.
Happily, there have always
been as many optimists in the
world as pessimists. and those
breeds Of philosophers take alto
gether more cheerful views of
things. For one thing, they say
we really as yet have very little
certain knowledge of what goes
Oh in the soil, and it is not at all
certain that the chemical reac-
lions in most soils will not, ~
proper tillage, maintain the sup
ply of nitrogen. 1t has also been
proved that Of the nitrogen which
disappears with cropping, but a
small portion is absorbed by the
plants, the rest disappearing by
evaporation, a process, it is
claimed, which can be checked
by proper measures. Finally.
there is the oyerpowering factor
that Of the atmosphere about us
nearly 50 per cent. by volume is
this same precious nitrogen,
which, the optimistS have al
ways insisted. would be made
available the ingenuity OF man
whenever it was needed. 1t has.
of course, always been possible
to extract nitrogen from the air

has been to find commercial
process by which, at moderate
expense, it could be eXtrated, rs
it were, by the carload. Chem
lists have been at work on the
problem for years, and now it is
announced that Sir William
Crookes, who terrified the world
II few years ago by predicting
the early beginning Of the star
walton process, has now discov-
cred the long sought process of
saving our lives at price which
we can afford to pay fer them.
And if he has not someone else
will.
1t is still, possible, however,
for the pessimists to maintain
that the extraction of nitrogen
from the air in such Qu antilles
will render it unbeara BILE or, at
least, that we shall be promptly
consumed by breathing the pure
oxygen which would remain

and ready for the smelter to make a
city of 20. 900 people, say nothing about
the Cumberland Ely, the Giroux prop
critics at Kimberly, the Ely Witch and
a hundred of other good mines. The
proven district is enough to support a
large city, and you can bet your last
nickel that one is growing. The town is
improving so fast it makes ones head
swim to keep up with the march of
progress.

ing city near the mouth of the can
yon and spending thousands of dollars
in Improvement.
There is gfcSt activity at the smelter
site at McGill's, and something like
800 men are at work at present, There
will be 900 more put on as soon as
spring opens, and it is the intention of
the company to rush the work as fast
as money and men can rush it.
Cherry Creek, Osceola, Ward, Tay-
lor Blackhorse and other districts are
growing in Importance, and before
next fall these camps viii show up Won
derfully rich. The old town of Hamil-
ton, like Rip Van Wrinkle, has awak-
ened from its sleep of thirty-fve or
forty years, and will prove that the
brave men who faced the hardships of
frontier life d generation or more ago,
were right, only they were little
ahead of modern methods for saving
the precious metals.

most thickly populated of any of Ne
