This lecture was listened to with
the greatest interest by the colored

FERTILIZER FROM AIR.

According TO II communication pub
lishcd In the Boston Transcript. u
plant operated by transmitted water,
power, located not far from Char
lottc n. C.. has been successful In
attempts to appropriate and embody
in a chemical fertilizer nitrogen from
the air. il this report Is true. 1t
would seem to be OF enormous signiii'
canoe to human kind. 1t means that
one of the most important elements
OF soil restoration can be obtained In
llmltless quantities, and that, In
short. worn-out soils everywhere may
be restored to productiveness..
The process by which materiaiized,
tangible fertilizer Is manufactured
out OF air Is thus explained:
"The air is drawn through oxldiza.
ton towers and is then forced
through electric arcs, where n terrific
heat Is maintained, the oxygen and
carbon dioxide In the air being con-
sumcd, leaving the nitrogen, which
is precipltated in the form OF nitrous
oxide. This nitrous oxide is then con-
veyed to four immense porcelain
towers, 10 feet In height, where It Is
condensed and allowed to settle in
pans OF limestone. The chemical re-
action then results in the production
of nitrate OF lime"
Manufacturing fertilizer out of air
seems rather too gassy proposition
for the average understanding to
grasp. 1t seems almost like making

\ JURY LAW NEEDED IN

The newspapers are commenting

fourths of the jury. 1t is claimed
hat under this provision there will
be but few hung juries. This pro-
vision is no new thing. 1t is a part
Of theConstitution of Kentucky and
it has worked admirably. There
are not one-tenth as many hung
juries in civil cases in Kentucky as
there were ur Ier the old Constitu-
