made available to the plant. Under
certain conditions lime liberates some
potash from its insoluble combinations
and makes it available.
Some very desirable physical effects
are produced by lime. It focculates
clay causing it to become more granu-
lar and consequently more open. On
the other hand it tends to cemen> the
sandy soils making them less porous.
There are three forms of lime used
for agricultural purposes: Quick lime,
Waterslaked lime, and carbonate of
lime. The two forms first mentioned
are quickly changed, in the soil, or
carbonate form. The finely ground
limestone rock is already in the car
Donate form. The quick lime is most
drastic in it's effects, the water slaked
next, and the carbonate is mildest.
Quick lime is the same whether it is
made by burning oyster shells, lime
stone rock or mari. When buying
bear in mind that you want pounds of
actual lime, therefore the analysis is
of prime importance We advise a
liberal application of the lime at long
Intervals, rather than the use of a
small amount often. We would use at
least ton Of the finely ground lime
stone, or of mari, or 1000 pounds, or
more per acre, of the quick lime, or of
the so-called agricultural lines which
are usually mixtures of the quick,
water slaked, and air slaked lime.
1t is preferable to apply the lime as
long before planting as is practicable.
Quick lime is somewhat difficult to
handle on account of it's drastic na-
ture Ii is best to put this form in
small piles at intervals over the field

can then be distributed without much
inconvenience. Quick lime, if pure,
runs higher in content of lime than
other forms of lime, but is more ex-
pensive.
When the farmer fully realizes that
lime is an amendment, and not a fer
tilizer, that it cast best in connection
with an abundant supply of organic
matter, and, that, if properly used it's
beneficial effects are many it will find
a permanent place in our system Of
agriculture. Do not mix lime with fer
tilizers that contain "a soluble phos-
phats or salt of ammonia.
This station has gotten good results
from applications Of lime at Clemson
college and also in our experimental
work in the lower part of the State.

HUMAN AURA.
Philadelphia Doctors Witness
Strange, Uncanny Experiment.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-Philadelphia
scientists had their first opportunity
today to view the much-discussed
aura, or atmosphere, which surrounds
the human body. Assembled in. the Of
flee of DR.. Arthur W. Yale, at 1924
Chestnut street, six specialists of 1ilis
city went through the necessary ops
cal preparation, and then watched in
dark room while the life rays Of a
human model distinctly jumped from
ner body to theirs.
1t was the first time such demon
stration was made in Philadelphia,
and, outside two similar private ex-
hibitions in New York, the only one
so far made in this country since Dr..
Walter J. Keiner, of Ladbroke Grove,
! London, announced few months ago
that he had succeeded in photograph
ing the aura, and LATER. through a
simple apparatus, showed, without the
use of the camera, the extent and den
sity of the rays surrounding the hu-
man body.
Proving Value of Results.
DR.. Yale, it is said, has been work
ing with an intimate friend of DR..
Keiner,. who has come to this country
for that purpose. The results an
nounced by the English scientists have
been received with a great amount OF
skepticism by Americans, and today's
demonstration was to prove the value
of these results.
A female model was placed in front
of black screen. In a moment some
thing similar to a vapor could be
plainly discerned emanating from her
body. DR.. Yale then showed the life
rays jumping from one body to an
other by gradually placing his hand
near that OF the subject. 1t was as
serted that the aura of a woman is
much stronger than that of man.
Confused in Hysteria.
To the expert eye, according to DR..
Yale, the condition of patients can
easily be ascertained by an examina-
tion of their aura. In condition Of
hysteria, he stated, the aura becomes
more and more confused, and is not
so plainly outlined.
. The aura follows the contour of the
body and in diseased portions be-
comes weaker. DR.. Yale, who is a
specialist on tuberculosis, announced
that in six cases in the past few weeks
he had used the aura to locate the DIS
eased places Of patients in the place
Of the X-rays, and in every case was
successful.

KILLED 8 CHILDREN
AND THEN SUICIDED

South Thomaston, Me-, Aug. 2S.-
Grief over the death of his wife led
Edward Bennett, an Englishman and
a graduate of Oxford university, Eng.

city for the past six years, to murder
his three children and then take his
own life today. Two of the children
were killed by the use of chloroform
and the third by cyanide of potassium
and chloroform. To make his OWL
death ceEtain the man went to the

of cyanide of potassium and jumped
in. His body was found when the tide

Lime is not a fertilizer, but that is
