LONDON sTHEATERS.
The Ordeal Of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.

The Ordeal of Getting Past the Aged
Ticket Taker.
The FIRST difference always find be-
tween going to the play in London and
In New York is that In New York the
man who has paid for a seat is made
TO feel that he Is a patron of the house,
while I'm London he is greeted by the
STAFF of the theater not exactly as an
intruder, but as necessary evil. They
appreciate that an audience il a neces-
sary evil, but sooner than have one
they would almost prefer to close the
house.
In London for that Importantly strar
teglc outpost of ticket taker an old
man of eighty is always employed.
You think this is accident. but 1t Is
not. Old age naturally suggests failing
eyesight, and when he keeps you wait
ing In the foyer while he examines
your ticket and assures himself that it
is not laundry bill or motor bus re-
celpt you attribute the delay to his old
eyes. But In detaining you he has a
motive. Standing at his elbow. scowl-
ing darkly. there always is another
man, apparently plain clothes out
from Scotland Yard, uncomfortably
disguised in evening dress. Aud while
the aged ticket taker pretends to scru-
nitize your ticket the lookout man
scans YOU, You cannot escape his eye
He never sleeps. No American. no
matter how reckless. can hope to pass
that man with a concealed bomb or a
revolver or wearing white tie with a
dinner coat.--Collier's.

Both Rather Elinnant.

There Is n curious parallelism be-
tween two stories told respectively of
the late Mr.. Spurgeon and of Dean
Swift.
Mr. Spur'AIn on hearing of the dew
astation w;O;ght by an earthquake In
Essex merely remarked, II am glad to
hear that my county is moving at last"
The dean OF st. Patrlck's. Dublin,
was watching with friend the roof
Of building on which several men
were at work fixing states. Suddenly
one OF the men vanished Thereupon
the dean turned to his companion and
SAID Il like to see man 20 quickly
through his work."

Constantinople, Feb. 4. - There is
less excitement here over the Grecian
situation, although the newspapers

II feet and more. He has field of
IL acres like that.
Prof. NJ. F. Miller, Of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
Columbia is sending out to the far
mers the following information as
to the use of fertilizers: On badly
worn lands the most remunerative
fertilizer application for wheat
will usually be one Of the complet,
fertilizers containing from / 1-2 .
2 IL per cent nitrogen, from 8 to
IL per cent available phosphoric
acid and from 2 to per cent pot
ash applied with a fertilizer drill
at the rate of 100 to $50 pounds
per acre at the time the wheat is
sown. On lands that have been
fairly well kept up in humus by
crop rotation, manuring and Leg
ume growing the application Of
125 to $50 pounds of good grade
of steamed bone meal will be bet
ter practice. Such a bone meal will
contain approximately l IA per
cent nitrogen and from % to 80
per cent phosporic acid, about one
half of which is available. The raw
bone meal will give good returns
but it contains from 2 1-2 to 4 per
cent nitrogen which is more than
one can afford to apply if the
nitrogen has been maintained by
proper systems of farming. The
use of $50 to 200 pounds of acid
phosphate on such lands will also
be very remuncrative. This acid
lphospate contains from IA to 16
per cent phOsphoric acid, practic-
ally all of which is available and
its cost is around $17.00 per ton
while the steamed bone costs
about $25 and the raw bone about
1923 per ton. The acid phosphate
has a tendency to cause the lanC
to become sour with continued use
and especially on lands wheTr
lime is already beginning to bt
needed it's long continued use il
not so desirable as that of bont
meals. The bone meals also have ;
more lasting effect due to the large
amount of PHOSPHORUS which
they contain in a more or less in
soluble form and their use is to b,
recommended in preference to th'
acid phosphate.
