question consumes about 10000 tons a
year such a saving of twenty-six per

a total OF 1920 tons. which at $3.50

A saving of $4,000 in a single year

A Poor Exchange.

In Europe the phosphorus deposits
are carefully guarded as storehouses Of
future national prosperity and support.
The laws Of Norway, for instance, make
it almost impossible which means un-
profitable Ito send the precious phos-
plate rock, there discovered, out Of the
country. It is kept at home By legis-
latiye enactment to preserve the fertil-
ity of the Norwegian farming lands.
In the United States, TO the contrary,
the great beds of phosphate rock are
reeklessly exploited for the benefit of
the Individual and often foreign owners.
The greatest Of agricultural experts es
innate that the total production OF phos-
plate rock in America is not greater
than would be required to renew the
phosphorus annually drained from the
soil by the crops. But two.thirds Of it
are regularly exported, sent abroad, most

OF German farmers and the ultimate
impoverishment of American farms.

THE CRIME or KIDNAPPING.

Vermonts law regarding kidnapping or
children is sufficiently drastic to serve
as warning against the crime, and for
tunately there is little occasion to put
the law into execution To kidnap a
child with the intent to extort money
is punishable by sentence of not more
than twenty five years imprisonment or
a fine of not more than $4,000, or both
Vermonts freedom from this class of
crime is due largely to the fact that
public sentiment is strongly set against
such a depraved class of people and
because Of the fewer opportunities for
a successful elimination of an effort
Of that sort.
In New York, however, with its hordes
of people, many Of them Of foreign
BIRTH and with the multiple chances for
concealment of the victim, the crime of
holding child for ransom from dis.

point where it got to be unbearable

The Heating of Our Street Cars.

1t is difficult to follow the argument
of Mayor Gaynor's recent letter on the
heating on public street cars. His cor
respondents allegation that at least
5000 people die every year from cold in
the street cars" is doubtless extravagant
and absurd, but the retort that heating
the cars makes the air IN them very
disagreeabIe and unhealthy" is alto
gether irrelevant.
If the air is bad it is because of some
defect in ventilation-a defect which
ought by all means to be remedied, for
cold air is a very poor substitute for
fresh air. The complaint, however, is
not that the cars are too well aired.

combination useful and useless man, his
usefulness and uselessness alternating
with the alienation Of his inebriety and
sobriety
One morning, after a night Of it, he
proceeded to build the fire in the labora-
tory stove. TO start up the kindling
wood, he had been in the habit Of light
ing handful of shavings, and then
pouring on a little kerosene from a
tomato can, which he kept upon near
by shelf
During the night. some one, possibly
one OF the laboratory operatives, had
placed similar can, filed with nitro
gylcerin, upon the same shelf, to keep
il from freezing
In periods Of convalescenee from his
various stages Of intoxication the
Waterman had before seen two cans up
on that shelf. but he knew that one of
them was real, and the other a halluci-
nation. Couldn't fool him that way
Thinking that the hallucination would
naturally be the lighter Of the two cans

glyeerin and proceeded to pour its con
tents upon the fire.
