A Drama on the Street.

A remarkable coincidence occurred
at San Bernardino, Cal, n day late
Iy, whereby a couple about to be di-
vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a di-
vorce against her husband when her
little daughter darted in the path of
an onrushing motor car The moth

Of a man who dashed in front of the
machine, seized the little girl and
leaped to safety as the automobile
shot by. The rescuer proved to be the
husband and father. Explanations
we're soon made, and the two made
their way to the attorneys office,
where Mrs. Preston tore up the di-
vorce complaint.

Germany
Getting
Biggest
Crops
By H. DUHRSSEN
Of Hamburg

Of his great deeds that our agriculture is superior to that OF any other
nation.
There II three principal ources Of plant nourshment: nitrogen,
phosphorc acid and potash, not to mention the nitrate of soda, which is
a splendid fertlizing material, and of which Germany imports more
from Chill than does any other cOuntry-abOut 1OOOO,OOO tons per an
mum. Nitrogen is to be had from slaughter houses (te ofal, blood, etc.,,
from fish scraps, cotton seed meal and wood ashes. The phosphoric acid
is from the phosphate rock that you get in vast quantities from Tennessee
and Florida. OF this Germany has none and is wholly dependent o n the
United States.
The potash, however, is almost solely a German product, since our
country has the only mines of any account. The stuff looks something
like common salt and is being taken out at ii great depth. A syndicate IN
which am a director controls and operates so big potash mines in all
parts of the empire on a capitalization of about $500 100000. The gov
eminent own some of these mines, which it leases to the syndicate.

Increased Price of Elk Teeth.

During the last five years the value
of elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said a western traveller at the Fred
eric, according to the st. Paul Dis
patch. I'm 1904 you could get any num-
Der Of fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to SO, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
n used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you ear buy them
from a regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an OkiGhOman who bought a robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
indian for 800. He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal.

Germany has gone ahead of all the
countries of the world in the important
matter of getting the biggest crops from
the earth. An acre of land in Germany
produces more grain, potatoes and the like
than an acre in any other part of the
globe. Holland ranks second. The secret
of the success of the German farmers lies
in their intensive cultivation Of the soil, the
chief factor therein being the scientific ap-
plication of fertilizers. Liebig, the re-
nowned chemist, half a century ago found
out the ingredients necessary to stimulate
the growth of plant life and it is because

ments a demand for mel capable of filling the intermediate
positions, who re expected to remain il these positions for a term OF
years, in order that the organization Of the establishments may be perma-
nently effective.
This country, up to the present time, has few schools which ade-
quately provide a training for these leutenants in our industrial army. 1t
was the hope of the founders Of the manual training high schools (noW
being conducted under the name of technical high schools O mechanic
arts high schools) that these institutions would provide this intermediate
training. These schools, however, have drifted away from the field which
they were expected to occupy by their founders. The major course and
the course which has determined the motive of these schools has, in nearly
every instance been planned as a preparatory course for the higher tech
nMaI institutions, thus forcing the institutions to devote their time mainly
to laying the foundations for those who expect later to get an engineering
training in the technical college.
In conclusion, 1 would say that the boy who must leave. school at an
early age should be trained in school to understand perfectly some one
thing, namely, be a 100 per cent. boy in that thing, and have only a gen
eraI knowledge Of several other subjects, rather than to give him only a
general knowledge Of a larger number Of subjects. A boy so trained in a
technical school will have a standard
