part Of our hard lot i'm life. and we
learned TO take the torture philosoph-
ically.
From the eghty-scvcnth to the
cighty-eighth parallel we passed for
two days over old ice without pressure
lines or hummocks. There was no dis

fields, and II was quite impossible to

superficial crcvasscs. The water OBJ
tanned from this was not salty. but all
of the upper surface of the ice of the
polar sea makes similar water. The
nautical observations did not seem to
indicate n drift. but nevertheless the
combined tabulatiOns do not warrant
the positive assertion of either land or
sea for this area.
The Ice gave Il cheering prospect. A

unable to determine sharply the ad-

Now the great bulk was drawn out

but the last display was invariably

We had therefore followed the SUMS

at midday above the south ice of the
polar gateway TO its sweep of the
northern ice at midnight. From the
end Of the polar night late in Fcbru-

midnight suns we had forced a trail

In spite Of what seemed like long
marches we had advanced only 106
miles in nine days. Much of our hard
work was lost in circuitous twists
around troublesome pressure lines and
high, irregular fields of very old ice.
The drift Tee was throwing us to the
east with sufficient force to give us
some anxiety, but with eyes closed to
danger and hardshps the double days
of fatigue and glitter quickly followed
one another.
The temperature, ranging between

persistently near the freezing point of

There are few servants who become
fixtures in families in this country. II
is different in Europe. where there is
a class raised to expect nothing above
domestic drudgery, and 1t is in this
fact lies the reason for the compara-
tive absence of servant girl problem
in the Old World They value good
servants over there, too. as is shown
by the placing of a tablet in ST.
He!en's. Bishopsgate. England, in
memory of a nurse, who spent thirty
nine years in the service OF family
named Wigram. Beside this tablet
is another set up sixty years ago to
commemorate the forty-one years scr.
vice Of a housekeeper in the same
family. Forty-one years a servant?
Is ii not better with us in democratic
America?

There is growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF

that one should have some interest in

it makes the hard wood of the oak or
the delicate petals of a rose. Man,
with all his Skill and machinery. has
never been able to make any products
half so wonderful as are being made
every day in every field on your farm.
II plants are to grow rapidly and
produce 'lr-e yields, they must be well
fed About half the dry weight Of a
mature plant is made up Of carbon
Practically all Of this comes from the
carbon di0xide Of the air Every acre
of wheat viii use a ton Of this gas or
all that is i'm a layer Of air three miles
deep over the acre. The constant mix
ing Of the air by the wind is always
bringing fresh supplies within reach Of
the plant
The farmer does not need to concern
himself with the supply Of carbon di-
oxide, for every time he builds a fire
or even breathes he is adding to the
store Of this material in the air
The smooth upper surface Of a leaf
is both mir and water tight On the
underside, however, are many small
openings. which are really the mouths
of the plant 1t is through these tiny
holes that carbon dioNide is taken into

In making starch and other products
out Of carbon di0Xide and water some
oxygen is given of This passes out
through the openings i'm the leaves.
Thurs you see that plants breathe in
much the same way as animals do
only they give OF oxygen. the product
which is used by animals, and take up
carbon dioXide. the gas which is
breathed out by animals In this way
plants make animal life possible. Ami
mails give off carbon dioXide and
manure as waste products. Plants
tear these waste products to pieces
and by rebuilding them make them
once more into food for the animals
Next to carbon hydrogen and oxy-
gen are the foods that the plant uses
IN largest quantities. Since water is
composed Of these elements. the sup
ply will be plentiful as long as there
is plenty Of water in the soil.
There is one element, nitrogen.
which forms a considerable part Of
the plant. that is harder to get While
three-fourths OF the air is nitrogen.
the plant does not seem to be able to
use it in this form. The only kind Of
plants that can use the nitrogen in the
air at an are the legumes. such as
clover aud alfalfa Certain bacteria
that live on the roots Of these legumes
have the power Of changing the at
mospheric nitrogen into forms in
which the plant can use it. We shall I
study more about this process later.
Nitrogen is one Of the most impor
tant plant foods. and It IS one that is
very often lacking. If the plant can
