Useful Bacteria.

In their relation to man, bacteria
may be said to be both harmful and
useful. Our attention has been re-
peatedly called to the hostile ones.
but almost nothing has been said
about the immense good we derive
from others. In terms of dollars and
Gents, it would be practically impos-
sible to estimate the value of germ
life to the agricultural world. Soil
bacteria are largely responsible for
the increased fertility which results
from resting land, or what is known
as fallow cultivation. The complex
organic substances found in the soil,
together with the green crops and the
stable manure which are plowed un-
der, would all remain, for the most
part, unchanged and of no use as
plant food, were it not for the de-
composing action of bacteria. When
the soil is supplied with the requisite
moisture and the proper temperature,
the millions OF germs which makes
this their home utilize the complex
substances present for food and incl
dentally change the composition of
this manure and other material sol
that it bee ONES available for the use
of plants. In this way thousands of
pounds of nitrogen are returned tol
the fields every season, which, with
out the aid OF the soil organisms,
would remain locked up forever sol
. far as growing crops are concerned.
Again, there are those bacteria
which, both independently and when
associated with our leguminous
plants, are able to take nitrogen from
the air and incorporate it in the soil
where it can be of some benefit to
vegetation.
N;.rA,,,, = n,,f,, he. - 20.
with which soil bacteria are con-
ccrncd for by their activities many
insolublc compounds of potash and
phoSphoric acid are made soluble sol
that the feeding roots Of plants can
utilize them.
Were it not for bacteria and
moulds, there could be no such thing
as decay, and there would be hun
drcds of dead plants and animals
about us on every side, and II would
be only a question of time until there
would be no room for the living.

cipal constituent of mother OF vine

Many of the fermented beverages,
notably the fcrmentcd milk drinks,
owe their pleasant and peculiar fa-
yors to certain micro-organisms.,
All vaccines and antitoxins which

diseases are produced by the use OF

that many of the bacteria. which are

Liaht and Dark Chars.

A striking example Of the ordinary.
smokers ignorance IN the subject Of
smokes is the popular superstition that
a dark looking cigar is stronger, than a
lighter colored one. Some strong cigars
have dark wrappers, but the dark
wrapper does not by any means indi-
cate 4 strong cigar. Dark, gummy to-
bacco. If thoroughly cured, Is the mild
est form. OF course If dark tobacco is
not thoroughly cured it will be strong,
but so will light tobacco, for that mat.
ter. Any cigar mar will bet you that
the dark color is usually, though not
always, a sign Of a ripe, well cured
leaf, which is therefore milder nine
times out of ten than the lighter hued
Leaf. But when it is known that every
manufacturer makes both dark and
light cigars and that he uses exactly
the same blend Of filler in both and
that the wrapper only constitutes a
small fractional part Of the cigar it is
clearly seen that the shade Of the
wrapper has little to do with the
strength of the cigar. Ask the dealer
for a strong cigar. He hands out a
dark one. ard the imagination does

Doubtful Praise,

Mr. Faxon was the oldest patron of
the "select boarding house, in which
be. lived, and his landlady sometimes
referred people to him for a recon-
mendation Of her table. His wish was
to praise the food highly; as he could
conscientiously do, but one day he
overstepped his mark. = ?

First Use of Iron.

As a result of his interesting investi-
cations, DR.. Ridgeway concludes that
the smelling of iron originated in
central Europe. and especially In the
region known as Noricum. equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can be traced back to the
ninth century B. c., and in Libya to
about $50 B. G. First mention Of its
use In China goes back to 400 B. e.,
while in Uganda it is said to have
been in use only some five Of six
centuries.
The above date for the first use of
iron, in Egypt refers to the metal oh.
tained by smelling. The nse of ma.
tive iron in the form Of meteorites
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
tanned, like flint implements, by chip
ping. All 1t is interesting to remem-
Der that recent Investigations have
shown that the iron Of many meteor

When Man Wa, = Marin. AnimsI.


Whom Man Was . Marine Animal.
1t was NJ. Quintan. q French physt
ologist, who several years ago wrote
. paper to show that the colorless
duid In which the red %corpuscles Of our
blood float and which 10 called the
'blood serum" Is the same 6uid al that
which constituted the primeval sea.
The earliest forms Of life which doat-
ed In the primeval e were such that
the cells and Tissues Of which they
were constituted were always bathed
by this primeval luid. When silica
became a constituent Of the sea these
animals may have coated themselves
with silicious coverings. but many Of
their cells were still bathed BY the
duid. and some Of them az they passed
from the sea to the land may have
closed up their alimentary canals. 80
that a distinction arose between their
internal organs and their outer SUPER
hcies. but still, for the good Of their
cells, they still bathed them in the
saline fluid. To do so more effectively
they took the saline fluid ashore with
them In the form Of a blood serum. and
it is this blood serum which we carry
about with US today. the most evident
relic Of the age when we were marine
animals.

Fined Whiskey Salesman.

The trial of Tom Anderson, of Chari-
ton, came off last Friday before Squire
Adam Ripper and Mr.. Anderson was
fined $75 on six different counts. He
was charged with soliciting orders for
liquor in Corydon. He appealed the
case to the district court.
This is the same kind of case as the
O'Neal case which was tried at Seymour
last week. There has been new rul-
ing lately from the supreme court Of
the United States on an appeal case
from North Dakota and tho county at
torney thinks it gives the states COZ
troll over these statesmen. OF course
the case will have to be tried in the
district court and we presume which
ever way it goes that it will be taken
to the supreme court. If the county at
torney wins his point it will certainly
give the temperance people powerful

SENATOR CUMMlNS
ATTACKS ALDRlCH
TARIFF REVISION
UNITED Press Leased wire. !

Washington, ID. c., May 6.-warn.
\ ing the senate that IL the tariff bill,
in its present form, becomes q law
conditions will not be remedied and
/ the agitation for revision will not be
stilled Senator Cummins, OF Iowa,
made a sensational address in the up
per house today.
This bill of the senate finance
committee will not be accepted by
those favorlng tariff revision as eith-
er a fulhllment of the Republican
party's pledge or a settlement of the
controversy, declared Cummins. "If
the bill, or anything like it, become
law, | pred ct that the campaign
for lower duties will continue with
increasing zeal until the judgment
entered in the court of public con-
science is also entered in the Jour
mails Of congress. Il does not give
me pleasure TO utter this prophecy,
for | had earnestly hoped that the re-
vision now in progress would end
this dispute for years to come"
Declaring the demand for revision
comes from the consumer, he re-
ferred to the Republican, platform
and said
The senator who imagines he can
satisfy these people by saying re-
vision with higher or substantially
the same duties Is in compliance with
the platform of the party little nn-
derstands the relation between the
people and that platform"
He said that he understood the
voices OF those desiring to increase
the customs now were more plainly
heard In the committee room, and
dramatically added:
The time will come when the
clamor OF the millions who want re-
lief will sound like the roar of a
thousand Niagaras.
The people are familiar with the
conditions" he continued, "and are
aware what industries brood million
aires The conclusions of the peo-
pie are only less infallable than the
conclusions OF the Almighty himself.
II have not abandoned my faith
in the doctrine of protection, but
am little able 20 d d'scern It's true
spirit in this policy"
Dealing with conservation OF the
forests, Cummins declared that Il
made little difference whether or not
there was tarif on lumber
He asserted that the cost OF pro-
duction in a great part of the United
States gave Americans an advantage
over Canad an luumbermen. He said
that duty was only necessary 20
eqnalize the difference In the rates
OF transportation. He also denied
that steel needed protection.
