There are some unbelievers who
would not be convinced by any evl
dence that DR.. Cook might produce to
prove that he had been to the north
pole. A correspondent who was ire
Quently ferried across the Thames at
Silvertown by an ancient mariner, now
1t rest. recalls how the old fellow
would always stoutly maintain that
Nansen had never really been where
he makes out he has been. This is
how ! see 1t. sir. There's a certain
pint beyond where the Almighty never
meant nobody to 60, and none Of them
can't get beyond that. whatever they
may say" Where that pint" was did
not appear very clearly. but it was
evidently well south OF Nansen's far
thest north.

obtained.
Some of the bodies Isolated from
soils have been studied in more de-
tailed way to establish the influence Of
mineral soil constituents and fertilizer
salts upon their destruction and their
amelioration where they have a harm
full effect upon crops. In these inves-
LEGATIONS it has been found that the
single fertilizer salts are never so eff
Gent in promoting growth as combina-
lions of two of the salts, and these in
turn are never so efficient as combina-
tions of three or more fertilizer salts,
even If the third is present in rather
small proportions. 1t has also been
found that under these better condi-
tions of fertilization the plant is more
able to Withstand the harmful effects
of some of these compounds and may
under these conditions be so affected
that it will itself destroy or alter by
oxidation thru It's roots these unfavor-
able soil Ingredients"
