The relation Of the soil to the under.
lying rocks, however, is dependent
upon the action of transporting agen-
cies which are at hand. Where there
are no transporting agencies sufficient
to carry away the disintegrated parti-
cles as fast as they accumulate over
the surface we have what Is called
residual SOIL" whose character will
partake entirely of that of the under
lying rock. If the underlying rock is
conglomerate or sandstone resid-
ual soil will be composed Of nothing
but sand and gravel, which is capable
Of supporting only q limited variety Of
vegetable life.

And still Canada has enough remain.
ing. In Ontario, between the lakes,
1t has reserved vast glacial deposit
of indefinite depth and unbounded fer.
tility. The valley Of the st. Lawrence
Is one of the richest soils in the world,
resulting from the deposit of glacial
material in a temporary arm Of the
sea which existed during the closing
portion of the glacial period. But per.
haps the most remarkable of such &C.
cumulations is that in the bed Of the
glacial Lake Agassiz.
The unrivaled richness Of the Mis-.
souri, valley, where it passes through
South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kan
sas and Missouri, is due almost enure-
ly to the "loess," which is principally
the fine portion Of the glacial grist de.
posted during the extreme floods
which characterized the final melting
of the ice-sheet from the northern part
of the United States. In many places,
as at Sioux City, Omaha, St. Joseph,
Mo-, this fine silt has accumulated
upon the edges of the valley to depth
of more than 100 feet, and all along
1t is spread out on either side to a
distance of 40 or so miles.
In Europe the glacial deposits play
an equally prominent part in furnish
ing fertile soils for the agriculturist.
All the lowlands of northern Germany
and western Russia consist of glacial
debris largely ground OF from the
IF Scandinavia, and spread
out over the area to. depth Of
100 feet of more. The ex.
tensive Plains Of black earth which
cover southern Russia and have long
been famous for their production OF
wheat, are covered with loess to q
depth of so feet or more, precisely like
that in the Missouri valley which has
Just been referred to. In the opinion
of the Russian. biologists this is
water deposit connected with the clos
ting stages Of the glacial period.
Anyone familiar with the dust
storms on our western plains or on
the borders of Mongolia will not be
surprised to learn that some of the
most eminent biologists believe that
the great deposits of loess In China,
and even in our Missouri valley, we're
originally derived from the arid re.
gions to the west, from which the ma
terial has been brought by the winds.
Whatever may be true as to the
agency of water in finally distributing
this rich soil into It's present sltua-
ton. It is in China most probably
a slow accumulation of dust blown by
the prevailing west winds from the
vast plains Of the desort of Cobb;
while that in the Missouri valley has
very likely come in a similar manner
from the arid regions Of the Rocky |
plateau. Oftentimes on the

Il hardly needs saying that in gen.

pendent upon the fertility OF its soil.

But the larger part of the things which
minister to the necessities and the
comforts Of mankind are the direct
products Of the soil. The study of the
soils becomes a department of geology
because all soils are rock in processes

Los Angeles Man Puts fasteners

During his recent visit in Los Angeles

made up not alone of Los Angeles resi-
dents, but contained hundreds from out
of the city, many coming from miles
away to see and hear the man who pro-

ment of disease. His theory met with
ready acceptance, and inspired his hear
ers with faith in his medicines to such
an extent that they are now being SOLD
at the Owl Drug stores almost to the
exclusion of other proprietary prepare
tions.
Cooper's theory is based upon COM
nonsense reasoning. When asked re-

Among the thousands of Los Angeles
people who have tested and proved
