WITH THE MAGAZINES
September Events,

Events a monthly Illustrated maga- zine published at Washington. D. C., will make its Initial appearance early in Sep tember This magazine will deal partic- ularly with those national affairs of which the people have but slight knowledge and should be read by every good American. The first number will contain an article on the national banking act, which clearly shows that this legislation Is responsible for the financial troubles of the people to- day; the article on the Personal Reminis- cences of the United States Supreme Court Is one of the most interesting art/ies ever published concerning that august body.
 The opening chapters of the article on "Our Government; It's Origin and Devel- opment," should possess unusual interest for every reader the article on the Wa ter Powers of the South presents new phase of the forestry question, and shows the intimate relations existing between the forests and the people; no community is without some direct interest in this great problem. The fiction Is brought and interesting,

THE WORK OF BACTERIA.

It was so in the case of the KansaA soil So the attempt was made to take them from the soil where they were na- tive and transplant them.
 In this instance the soil transplanted was from Massachusetts. It was dry. uninterestlng dirt. not unlike dust in ap- pearance For several years soy beans had been planted on the farm at the Kansas college, but no nodules or tuber- ces were found upon the roots, no store house of nitrogen. This was considered ample proof that no bacteria of this kind were to be found fin the siol. When 1t came time to plant some of the soh from the eastern state, twentieth Of a pint to a hill was put around the seeds. Alongside of these beans, but sufficiently apart to insure Individuality of action. beans were planted In the other normal soil without the addition of the foreign soil. The experiments were carried on In small plots and in larger farm areas as well.
 In all cases results were the same, the beans which were planted in the pinch of Massachusetts soil produced roots abounding in tubercles, while those planted without, produced no tubercles. It was found in green house tests that the bacteria began their work Of storing ni- trogen soon after the sprouting of the seed. increasing their activity as tho
  were fairly well advanced some of the hills were dug up, about two cubic feet of soil being taken with each hill.
 After a thorough washing tubercles were found in large numbers upon the plants which had been inoculated. but not one upon the plants which had not been inocuated. It was also found by experiment that the home soil, once moe ulated. was just as effective as the lm- ported soil for further inoculation
 While the difference in the yield at first was not large the plants bearing tuberces were superior to those not nay ing them both in seed and fodder. The plan of scattering the inoculated sell upon the surface of the ground proVed an utter failure. Tho soil containing the bacteria must come in contact with tho seeds. Beans planted with 1000 pounos of Massachusetts soil scattered broadcast showed an average of only seven tuoef- cles for every twenty plants, while when the beans were put in with the drlis with only 375 pounds of the infected son to every acre, the infected soil coming Tn contact with tho seeds, the tubereies averaged thirty-flve per twenty plants.

Priest and King.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 King Edward, as defender of the faith has a position in the church. His recent guest, the King of Siam, however can say more than s4at as to the church of his own faith. He Is q priest of that church. In that he is not peculiar. There s no other country under the sun which has so many priests as Siam. Of the six million poulation nearly one million are in the priesthoou. Something like 3O,Ut of these are in active service. the re- mander have complied with the law of their land, which is that every man of Siam must go. not into the army, but into the priesthood The King of Slam bowed to the stern decree, and himself spent d year in the priesthood. Strict conform fly with native customs. however, has not blinded him to the advantage of western ways. An English governess popular ized the use of the English language and the English ways at the Siamese court and the King sent his eldest son to Eng land to be educated.
 They do say that when he got his de- gree at the varsity he cabled home tc his sire: Have passed; sacrifice one hun dred concubines." But nobody need be- lleve that. Two of his brothers did un- commonly well at Harrow, and were gen. erally at the head of their forms, what time the young Sultan of Zanzibar hung about the lowest position.

The Kings Messengers.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Very odd are some of the errands done by royal messenger service in Great Britain. an English seaport, for in stance, a sealed packet which was being conveyed across the Channel to Windsor some time ago in the care of the British foreign office, became accidentally un- fastened in the customs house, and a quantity of cigars fell out As the packet in question was invoiced as containing '1mportant confidential government dis patches, no little amusement was caused. Nothing serious, however, came of the incident for 1t is a recognized rule that the King can do no wrong" and neither, therefore, can the Kings messengers.
 Besides, 1t Is well understood that the service is maintained for other purposes than the nominal one. During the late Queen. Victora's reign the messengers used frequently to carry to the continent, fin sealed bags supposed to contain dis patches, shirts and collars of special make and pattern for one of the British ambaseadors, hats and bonnets for Her Majestys female relatives, all sorts of English knick-knacks for the late Elm press Frederick at Berlin, and even bar rels of native oysters for the embassies at Paris and Vienna.
 For many years, moreover, il was the practice of the messengers to call each week on their way back to England at Brussels, where they received from the court kitchens box of special biscuits of which Queen Victoria was very fond and which sne believed nobody could make as well as the head pastry cook of King Leopolds kitchen This box of biscuits was solemnly sealed up at the British le- gatlon with the official seal, and then conveyed with infinite care to Windsor by way of Dover and London.
