DIR. WILEY SUCCUMBs.
Government Food Expert Is Victim
of the Love Germ.

| After fighting deadly germs for
years Dr. Harvey w Wiley, veteran
coach of the governments poison
squad" has sucCumbed to one of the
most common of all, the love germ.
The other day he threw aside his
benzoate Of soda long enough to de-
clare that his bachelor days are near
ly at an end His engagement to
Miss Anna G. Kelton, president of
the Stanton Equal Suffrage Club,
was formally announced, and it was
made known that the expert of the
agricultural department will set up
a little establishment of his own,
where he can argue out the phos-
phate and benzoate problems with
the butcher, baker and milkman.
DR.. Wiley for years has been as
sisting housewives and domestic pur-
chasing agents to get only the Simon
brand of purity in their meats and
groceries. He has done it by sit
ting aloft in his laboratory, teaching
his poison squad" to enjoy cyanide
and its by-products, and occasionally
notifying the coroner. He never has
had to scale the fire escape at
o'clock in the morning and sniff the
milk to see if the formaldehyde is
pure; he never has had to see that
the cat is properly disinfected and
that the beefsteak dates from the
present administration.
Miss KeltOn is a daughter of the
late Adjt. Gen. Kelton, and lives
with her mother at 1914 r street,
northwest, Washington. She is en-
ployed as a clerk in the library of
congress, but occasionally finds time
to make a few speeches in the cause
of votes for women" DR.. Wiley
cares for the cause also, and it was
while publicly urging equal suffrage
that he met Miss Kelton. The young
woman is also studying law.

CHURCH OF THE SEPULCHER
STANDS ON THE SPOT WHERE
CHRIST WAS CRUCTFTED.
The Tomb of Jesus, Enclosed in Ivory
White Marble, Stands in the
Center of the ROtunda.

NGhNSI VI bAit AAOLuAbus
The Church Of the Holy Sepulchre
in Jerusalem is a bee hive of super
stition, writes Frank G. Carpenter.
1t is supposed to stand on the spot
where Christ was crucifed. The BIZ
Bile tells US that this was outside of
Jerusalem, but the Church of the
Holy Sepulcher is today far within
the walls. This, however, is not
a proof that the place is not correct
for the walls of Jerusalem have been
thrown down and rebuilt again and
again, and this is especially so of
those on Mount Zion, where this
great church stands. The place was
located by st. Helena, the mother
Of Constantine the Great, who went
to Jerusalem about 500 years after
Christ died and found the true cross
among the rubbish on the side of the
hill where the church stands. She
had the cross dug out and carried to
Constantinople, whence later on
some pieces of it were sent to Rome
One section as long as your arm is
said to be in Jerusalem.
Shortly after this discovery a
church was erected on the spot, and
since then others have been built,
destroyed and rebuilt, until now
there is this great edifce, with an
area of several acres. 1t is sur
mounted by a cross rising from a
dome as big as that of our national
capitol The church is not beauti-
full, and its position in the heart
of Jerusalem surrounded by bazars,
converts, mOnasteries and hotels is
by no means imposing. The front
is covered with carvings, some of
which are from ancient temples, and
over the doors are bas-reliefs of
scenes from the Bible.
Under the dome of this church
lies the tomb of the Savior inclosed
in chapel of ivory white marble,
which stands in the center of the
rotunda. 1t is perhaps 20 feet high,
&c feet in length and II feet in
width. 1t is entered through a door
so low that you have to stoop to go
in, and you finally come into a cham
Der six feet square and lighted by
candles. This is the alleged tomb of
the Savior. 1t is covered with
marble slab over which glass has
been spread to keep the lips of the
pilgrims from wearing the stone
There are always priests there, and
those who enter are sprinkled with
holy water. Every worshiper car
ries rosaries, beads and holy pict-
ures, which are laid upon the tomb
to be blessed.

EVERYONE FACES DEATH.
A Cheerful Custom of Killing Some
Lo5, yybo,, Cor,ahoJ,, Flee n;aS

A Cheerful Custom of Killing Some
body When Somebody Else Dies.
Everywhere in New Guinea the
traveller is continually brought face
to face with death, and the natives
are devoid of the slightest pity or
respect for the dead or dying, al
though after a death they will often
mourn for a considerable time. Muir
der is an everyday occurrence, and
nothing could be worse than the
morals of the natives. In fact, they
have none; they thieve and lie with
persistence and cunning which is
surprising.
The Papuans have a cheerful GUS
tom which demands life for life;
should anyone die at the first OPP
pOrtunity they kill some one-they
are not very particular whOm-to
make up for it, While we were at
Humboldt Bay a Malay died of drop
sy; he was the first Malay who had
ever come to that port and the Pa
puans greatly respected him. Very
WELL" they said, we must shoot a
Malay with our bows and arrows to
pay for his death" And, sooner or
later, some innocent person would
be killed to square the account, when
everybody except, presumably, the
victims friends-wOuld be satisfied.

HOW THE LAND is FAILING
In Texas There Has Been a NOticea-
BILE Decrease in the Productive
ness of UnfertiIized Soil.

Some two years ago the Cotton
Record began to draw attention to
the decreasing prOductiveness of the
unfertilized soil, in Texas especially.
Not much notice was taken of the
matter the first year, but last season
it was accorded more consideration,
and the coming season it is sure to
be a prominent factor in crop cal
culatiOns. No land is capable of pro-
ducing year after year so exhausting
a crop as cotton without artificial
fertilization, and all the more par
ticularly since the seed is being sold
instead of being restored to the soil
Although the facts as currently
known speak plainly enough per-
haps the most conclusive proof is
found in the address of DR.. S. A.
Knapp of the agricultural depart
ment before the recent boil WeeVil
conference at Atlanta. DR.. Knapp
has made a compilation of the aver
age yield of lint cotton per acre in
Texas by decades. He says that for
the period to 1878 the average yield
was 234 pounds For the decade
ending 1893 it was 209.9 pounds;
IOl luS uGCdUS GnuluS 1910 IL was
1928 pounds; cor the decade end
ing 1903 it had fallen to 1928
pounds; that it is more than twenty
five per cent in thirty years, in spite
of the improved methods of cultiva-
ton and seed selection. For the six
years to 1909 the average had de-
clined to 171.6 pounds.
A good deal of this decrease for
some periods is attributed to the
depredations of the boil weevil, but
evidently not the greater part, as
the weevil has not been so constant
and progressive in his performance
DR.. Knapp claims that the slight de-
crease in the present part period is
the result largely of the efforts made
to fight the weevil. We do not wish
to question the value of the work
that is being done, but DR.. Knapp
loses sight of a very important fac
tor m making up his figures for the
present period, that is, from 1903 to
! 1913.
