Bacteria.

Modern Investigations as to the orr
gin of diseases have brought the little
organisms called bacteria into so much
prominence that search has been made
to ascertain whether they existed dur.
ing the early geological periods. Not
long since the fact was announced that
Regnault had discovered bacteria in
coal. Continuing his researches. he
found evidence that bacteria were
probably coeval with the first appear
ance of organic life on the earth. They
attacked vegetable tissues as well as
the bones and teeth of animals: but.
as a rule, they belonged to species
distinct from those of today.

still continue to show after the lapse
of this long period that chemicals are
now, as at the start of the trial, pro-
ducing more of wheat and other crops
than the annual application of yard
manure in liberal amounts.
1 have used chemicals for thirty-five
years. and this year took off crop of
Hungarian millet and a crop of pota-
toes that make the thirty-first since
any application of any yard manure,
and the twenty seventh since chemicals
were applied and continued annually.
AS at Rothamsted. the chemical ma
nure leads yard manure. For Hungar-
ian, the thirty-first crop was at the
rate of 7013 pounds to the acre, and
potatoes 1896 bushels per acre.
These plats are on the summit of
hill, the ground dropping away from
them on three sides and level on the
fourth side. Such results are not acci-
dental. I state them for the benefit
of the public since they represent the
results of field practice. such as pre-
walls in the general farm management.
These chemicals have been used at
profit. They are associated with tests
for the use of the farm. and for this
reason 1, at this time, relate only the
fact of their successful and profitable
use for a long period.

cEMIcAL FERTILIZERS ENDURE
j. W. sanhorn. New HampshIre

During my occasional trips for insti-
tute work, l am asked whether chem
ical fertilizers are plant food or mere
stimulants. This old problem does not
appear to reach a stable position in
the public mind. BY some means there
fingers the belief that a bit of potash
passing through a cows stomach takes
on mysteriously a greater value than
a soluble bit of potash in an equally
soluble form from a potash mine. The
fact that exact experiments with the
chemical elements of plant food show
that they will cause to grow out of
burned sand or distilled water Wig
orous plant that produces productive
seeds either passes public notice or Is
discounted This makes 1t necessary
and of public value to invite attention
to facts bearing on the problem.
1t is not to be questioned that chem
ical fertilizers may be used in wrong
proportions or in wrong forms or in
inadequate amounts, but that by any
peculiar property they act as
a stimulus to the detriment of the
soil in the sense that the public under
stand it is, l believe, incorrect. The
experiments at Rothamsted England,
have now passed sixty-six years and

WATER ARGUMENT
SET FOR MAY 20
Hetch Hetchy Question Will Be
Thrashed Out Before Secre-

WASHINGTON, May s2.-The ques-
the Yosemite national park. at the dis
posal of San Francisco as future
source of water supply will be decided
in large measure by a hearing to be
held by the interior department May 20.
Oral arguments on the proposition
will be delivered before Secretary Bal
linger in the presence of a board of
three army engineers. who have been
appointed by the president to advise
the secretary on the engineering prob
lens involved.
The subject has been before the in
terror department for a long time, and
concerns the question of revoking a
permit granted the city some time ago
by Secretary Garfield, authorizing the
use of Hetch Hetchy when the needs of
San Francisco exceed the capacity of
Lake Eleanor.
The geological survey recently decid-
ed that Lake Eleanor is ample to supply
the demand, and in response to re-
quest of Secretary BaIinger the city
has submitted written opinion as to
why the permit should not be cancelled
The oral arguments .on Wednesday
will be delivered by the representatives
of. the Pacific coast who oppose the
revocation of the permit on the ground
that it is a necessity to San Francisco
as well as by those who claim that
Lake Eleanor is ample.

by violent rocking of the earth, which

Slight damage is reported from the

shock occurred at 1928 a. m. and was
followed by two other shocks, one at
S:3S a. m. and the other at 11:24. Both
were barely perceptible.
Local scientists said that the shock
was caused by the slipping of a great

been viewed when extending in oppo-
site directions. eastward and westward.
and that this formation. while not un-
usual in comets, had not been thought
TO exist in this case and has probably
been the cause of many erroneous cal

n AKLAND, May 22.-According
1 to Prof. A. o. Leuschner, dircc-
tor of the students observatory
at the University of California. the
most satisfactory view of Hallcy's
comet IS yet to be obtained In
statement made today at the obser-
vatory Director Leuschncr said
Probably the best opportunity of
viewing Hallev's comet will present
itself tomorrow (Monday) evening,
during the total eclipse of the moon
The moon will enter the shadow OF
the earth at hours As minutes and 4
seconds p. m.. Pacific standard time
The comet will then be about six de-
grees east and little over six degrees
north of the star Procyon, in the
western sky AS the eclipse advances
the sky will become darker and the
comet will become more conspicuous.
Approaches Horizon
THE eclipse of the moon will be-
come total at hours and 9 minutes
p. m, and then the comet will be at
its best. The total eclipse will last
nearly 81 minutes, ending at 9 hours
and 50 minutes p. m. but during total
ity the comet will rapidly approach
the western horizon. and its brightness
will suffer by the denser atmosphere
through which its light will pass.
The comet will set few minutes
after IL o'clock To obtain the best
view of it. it should be watched from
$50 o'clock on. The tail of the comet
is to be seen to best advantage with
the naked eve. while the nucleus may
be viewed with a pair of opera glasses
or any small telescope.
The students observatory will not
be open to the public during the eclipse.
as the instrument must be used for
scientific observations. Only inch
telescope will be available to the public
and this will be set up outside of the
observatory during the brief time that
the trees surrounding the observatory
site afford an unobstructed view of the
comet.
For the first time since the transit
of the nucleus across the suns disk
the position of the comet was accu-
rately observed by Professor Aitken
Saturday morning. This observation
has proved conclusively that the pre-
dietions regarding Wednesdays transit.
