in Evanselistic Work, is
Much In Demand.

Lincoln Mcconnell who is to de-

the First Baptist church beginning
this morning, will not follow the usual
lines Of 1.-THE latter day eyangelists
Mr.. Mcconnell has pronounced con-
yictions along the lines of his work,
and this fact, coupled with the fact
that he has had a very unusual ex-
perience for man in his profession,
probably accounts for the fact that he
cannot anywhere near fill the calls
Tor his time. He is now engaged for
three years ahead, for nearly his full
time.
Mr.. Mcconnell was raised for a
lawyer, and after quitting college,
spent nearly six years in Atlanta, Ga,
as detective connected with the city
police department, and as assistant to
the solicitor Of the criminal court Of
Atlanta. He resigned the latter Office

over 5000 addresses in the past II

Eyeslaht Of the Mouse.

How much does mouse see? To
look at mouse, one would think that
sight counted for great deal in it's
life; but experiments go to show that
this is only true within certain limits.
Mice are good at distinguishing diff
ferent degrees Of illumination and diff
ferent colors (preferring red and yell
low to blue and green). and they are
quick to detect movements; but they
have little sense of form and little
binocular vision. Microscopic study
shows that the retina has no rods"
and no 'fovea."

The first pipe smokers, it is claimed,

THE POWER OF NIAGARA FALLS

aract would mean.
The 372,SO0 horse power now de.
veloped at the falls is the equivalent
of 16,776,000 man power working an
eight hour day, or more than the
combined strength of all able bodied
men in the United States.
Under the American Canadian trea-
ty, promulgated by the two nations
to guard the scenic beauty of the falls
for all time, only $4,000 cubic feet
OF water per second out of a total
now of 100000 cubic feet, may be
diverted from the Niagara river for
power purposes. But even with this
restriction, when the treaty goes in
to effect the force conserved by fall
Ing water will be equivalent of 49,
$4,000 men working the average
eight hour day.
Stupendous although this saving
is, 1t is as nothing compared to the
full strength of the falls. The vol
ume of water that be permitted to
run, so as to perpetuate the beauty
OF the falls. is estimated to represent
1880 eight hour man power or
about 100000 more man power
than there ere men, women and chill
dren in the United States and all its
possessions.

FUNCTIONS OF FERTILIZERS

Fertilizers are applied to the soil
for two general purposes-to main
tain, and to increase fertility.
Chief among those fertilizers that
are used for maintaining the fertility
OF the land is barn yard manure. This
is its main function and just as long
as the principal constituents of the
manure are all derived from the soil
it cannot increase its fertility-at
best it ca molly maintain its fertility.
If. however, the barn yard manure
is obtained wholly or in part from ex-
ternal sources it may increase fertili-
: ty. Two such cases are plainly EVIL
dent. For example, when the barn
yard manure is purchased from town
stables, as it is often done for truck
gardening near cities, or when it is
derived from fertilizing ingredients
contained in oil cake or other concen-
trated feeding stuffs consumed by
stock.
The commercial or artificial ferti-
lizers, which have been employed for
good many years, are used chiefly
for increasing the fertility of the soil
or in other words, increasing the
productiveness of the soil above it's
natural capacity. Although this is
their leading function, they act as re-
storative agents whenever they are
applied when barn yard manure is
withheld.
In general, the restitution of the
fertility of the land is accomplished
chiefly by the barn yard manure that
is returned to the soil during a CIV
en- crop rotation, and the increase in
crops is produced by commercial or
artificial fertilizers. -
