THE HUMAN ENGINE.
To Operate This Masterpiece Air is
The First Necessity.

Of all the engines cunningly devised
by man not one can equal that master
piece Of construction, the engine of
the human frame. To run that engine
air IS the first necessity. Construct it
how YOU will, the greater part Of the
energy which feeds a power plant is
lost before it reaches the applying
machine. The body only has the
power Of using enerfgy really econo-
mically and efficiently. Its food is
stituents Of that food must be burned,
producing heat and power For that
burning the oxygen Of the air is es-
sential. Equally true is it that nitro
gen must be present to prevent Vle
rapid combustion which would take
place in oxygen alone. But, whether
the combustion be fast or slow, the
action is the same The body burns
the carbon and hydrogen Of its food
and gives out the oxides Of these sub
stances, carbon dioxide (carbon acid
yas) and hydrogen oxide (water).
The water that is formed within the
body by the burning Of hydrogen is
Of comparatively slight Importance in
consideration Of the vital questions
of the effect Of city air upon the in
dividual, but the other factor, the
carbon dioxide formed in the body. is
Of direct importance.-Hollis Godfrey

CAN ALAN TOMBSTONE
HOLD AS CLEMSON TRUSTEE
Interesting Question Raised by His
Election to the Senate-ls Life
Trustee Such an Office as the Law
Contemplates.
Greenviile News.

UleeuN lllC A\C"H.
Columbia, Sept. 4.-The old ques-
ton as to the right Of member OF
the legislature to hold the office OF
elective trustee Of State college IS
very likely to come up again at the
next session of the general assembly.
It is a question that should be set
tied once for all.
At the last session of the general
assembly, Mesrrs. John G. Richards
Jr.. and Coke D. Mann, both mem
hers of the house, were elected trus-
tees of Clemson college. They have
both now been reelected to the house
Of representatives. and it is serious
question with many who have looked
into the subject whether they can
hold both positions.
Mr.. AIM Johnstone, who has been
elected to the senate from NeWberry
is a life trustee of Clemson under
the will of Mr.. Clemson, and 1t Is
held that his status is different from
that of Messrs. Richards and Mann,
but the issue was raised against him
in the campaign in Newberry.
The law requires all Officers OF
the State to be commissioned by the
governor but with few exceptions the
trustees of the State colleges do not
trouble to get commissions and 1t Is
thereby implied that they do not
consider themselves officers of the
State. At some time serious ques-
tion NAV be raised in this respect
and il will be we'll enough to have
the whole matter decided by some
competent authority in time.
The meeting Of the State board OF
education today will likely be the
last meeting under the admlnlstra-
ton Of Supt. Martin, as it is tre-
ouentlv necessary to hold meeting
in January or in December before
the new officials come into Office. Ihe
governor may at the beginning OF
the year have two vacancies on the
board to fill by appointment. Ii
Mr.. ". J. Montgomery is elected to
the senate from Marion, he Will
doubtless resign from the State board
Of education, as that has been the
custom if not the law. Prof. A. h.
Banks who has been on the board
longer than any other member, has
removed his residence from the t1tth
but that may not legally impair his
RIGHT to hold his seat on the board.
He is in close touch with a large
part of his district from here

enough when the stuff leaves the fac

"In another direction, also, science
is operating in order to utilize the
boundless stores Of atmospheric Ill
trogen, 75,OOO,OO0 tons of which are
suspended over every acre of land.
"About twenty years ago Hellerei-
gel showed that leguminouS plants
Cknown from ancient times to fertll-
ize the soil in which they grow, and
always therefore grown in rotation
before corn) obtain their nitrogen
from the air, and that bacteria, living
in nodules or tubercles on tho roots
of the plants, are the media by which
the nitrogen is obtained.
"This line Of investigation was con-
tinued until a culture Of the root Or
ganism was obtained by Beyerinick,
and named the bacillus radicicola.
Prof. Noble of Germany failed in an
endeavor to prepare the infective cul-
ture on large scale, but IN 1901
the United States department OF ag-
riculture took up the work, and BY
10000 the State department was
sending out tens Of thousands Of
packages Of prepared microbes, at
first dried on cotton wool, but now
issued in liquid finn. In 1908 the
reports showed that II per cent OF
the trials were successful.
"In the same year our own board
Of agriculture took up the matter.
They got samples from America and
Germany, distributed them, and as a
result reported that the matter was
still in an experimental stage And
there, unfortunately. they dropped it.
Fortunately Prof. Bottomley, the
botanical professor Of Kings college,
London, has continued the work
which our board Of agriculture did so
badly and laid down so quickly. Dur
ing 1906 and 1907 a thousand pack
ages were distributed here for testing
rurposes. and 50 far most Of the re-

"It should be clearly understood
that the bacterial culture is not a
manure. What it does is to add to
the soil organisms which breed and
multiply on the roots Of a legumln-
ous crop and enable it to grow in a
soil which contains little or no nitro
gen. After the leeuminous crop, Of
course, the succeeding crops benefit.
After the doctored clover the wheat
flourishes. The poorer the soil the
more marked the effects. With the
aid of the culture peas have been
grown luxuriantly even in cinders.
"The scientist appeals to the gov
ernment to take up the tools Of SCI
ence. The United States agricultural
department is distributing bacterial
culture free, and cannot cope with
the demands for it. Our own de-
partment, after tinkering with few
imported and in some cases, dead cul-
lures is doing nothing. It is little
money that is needed, but poverty is
the excuse pleaded, I understand, by
the department. Prof. Bottomley
tells us that waste land can be re-
claimed and made fertile for sixpence
an acre. and as he puts it, 'can we af-
ford to neglect such possibilities Of
national wealth 30

NO FLOOD COMING;
ENCOURAGING NEWS

! Reports from the weather bureau
/ late yesterday afternoon We're to the
effect that there is no cause for alarm
from the flooding of the Arkansas riv-
3, er as the stream is expected to reach
; its height some time this afternoon.
Since there We're no rains for two or
three days past and none reported in
the upper river territory that morning,
it is the belief at the weather bureau
that the present rise will not reach
as high a point as did the recent flood
which passed the 23-foot mark.
The stage was 22.3 at Little Rock
Saturday, a rise of nne-tenths of a
foot since Friday morning. and a rise
OF only three-tenths since Friday af-
ternoon, showing that the crest of the
flood is nearing
At both Fort Smith and Dardanelle
the river fell during the past 81 hours
Saturday morning at Fort Smith the
stage was 1871, a fall of eight-tenths
of foot, and at Dardanelle 1913, a
fall of eight-tenths.
While the Arkansas will probably go
a tritle higher than the present stage,
it will not reach the 23-foot stage at
Little Rock unless heavy rains should
ensue within the next 81 hours and
this is hardly expected.
The news that the river will not
reach flood stage at this point is good
news to the farmers and planters in
the Arkansas Valley and Central Ar
kansas. A flood at this time would re-
suit in serious damage to crops and
fruit and there was much anxiety on
the part of the growers
