SOIL BACTERIA.

As the poisoning of the harmful
bacteria in the soil may injuriously
affect useful plants, French agri-
culturist has proposed the use of vol
atile poisons, which evaporate after
sterilizing the soil, ready for plant
ing. Effective sterilizers have been
found in copper salts, iron sulphate,
formal, carbolic derivatives, and car
bon disulphide, but these are to be
applied with due regard to the char
acter of the soil, of the crop expected
and of the germs likely to do harm.
The iron and copper salts, for in
stance, are rendered inert by chem
ical reaction with calcareous soils.

INVENTOR KEEPS HIS SECRET
Austrian Governments Large Offer
Of Deposit, Sealed Until His
Death, 10 Refused.

AT the Paris exposition in 1900
there was exhibited an assortment
of marquetry work of great intricacy
Of design and beauty Of finish, but
at prices so low as to cast reflection
upon its genuineness. Many of the
pieces were of duplicate pattern.
Here is another industrial secret
of considerable value that doubtless
is destined to go to the grave with
its discoverer, if it has not already
done so, says Casters Magazine. No
amount of examination, no matter
how searching, sufficed to reveal the
manner in which the designs of Ia
BILE tops were duplicated with such
marvellous accuracy.
That much the inventor, an Aus
trian, was willing to divulge. The
pattern, instead of being made singly
of the thickness requisite for the
plcSC III was luJcuueu W OTudlueuJ,
such as a table top, was built up of
pieces two or three feet long, from
which sections were then sawed off.
How this composite structure was
held together was quite another mat
ter.
Interest in the invention reached
point. where the Austrian govern
ment offered its discoverer a small
fortune on condition that his secret
be deposited, sealed, in the royal
vaults, in order that it might be
known after his death. He was to
have the sole right of manumacture
as long as he lived, the secret not
to be revealed until after his de-
mise, but he preferred to keep it
locked up in his own head.

MAGAZINES OF FORMER DAYS
Editor Phillips Asserts That to Read
Them Now With Interest
Is Impossible.

There had been some conversation
of magazines. Some one had breath
ed the usual sigh for the excellence
of by-gone days. And John s. Phil
lips, editor of the American Maya
zine, entered an argument of de-
tense.
GA good deal of this talk about
the good old days of Longfellow
makes me tired" he said.
'rHave you ever tried to read the
magazines of the days of Longfel-
low?"
"You haven't? Well, 1 have. And
1 couldn't do it.
''Take the Atlantic Monthly, for
instance, in the days when Longfel-
low and Lowell. and the others were
writing for it. The contributions
of Longfellow and Lowell were ex-
cellent.
but you simply couldn't wade
through rs per cent. Of the contents
of those old Atlantics. They'd bore
you to extinction.
'"The old magazines were bound
up in the interests of the old days
they reflected the times in which
they were published. That is pre-
cisely what the magazines do now.
That's what magazines have to do.
On the whole, the publications of the
last century weren't a bit better
than the publications of today.
eff you have any doubts on the
subject, just you try to read them.
Try hard. You won't succeedp'

CHECK TELEPHONE ABUSE.

The telephone in a downtown Of

WIVES HANDLE THE MONEY
Custom Started by q Professor In q
Western University Spreads
Through Entire Faculty.

II woman likes the handling of
her husbands money she ought to
be married to college professor. In
a western university town one of
the faculty, a few years ago, being
absorbed in his scientific duties, be-
gan the practice Of handing over to
his wife his entire salary and what
ever other moneys came to him from
his writings, etc., and she did all the
buying for the establishment, includ-
ing the professors wearing apparel
and even books and pen points. He
simply mentioned his wants, in case
she had not anticipated them, and
WHEY did the rest, allowing him
whatever pocket money he needed
from time to time. The practice
was so successful that both husband
and wife sounded it's praises on occa-
sions, and the custom spread at that
university. 1t has now grown to
such an extent that a professor in
that institution would blush to be
caught buying himself scarf or Sc
Letting the material for his shirts.
Statistics do not know whether
there are any unmarried professors
on the list and no further informa-
tion will be furnished on application.
This precautionary measure is
deemed necessary for the protection
of the town, as it is not large and
the boarding facilities are not suf-
ficient to accommodate sudden in
fux of the financial sex.

he had rendered his resignation, he
would continue in the council and

pointed questions yesterday morning.

he inserted this an-important clause
after he had learned that by law he
could not withdraw his resignation and
that an acceptance of the same was
not necessary. and that he also knew
hat this purported original resignation
was a concotted affair. To this Castle
man had quite a time answering. The
cues ton was twice read to him by the
stenographer and IT was finally split
before he would answer. To each OF

negative and was very emphatic in his
