Georqe and the DRAGON.

Frank Harris, the English author
and lecturer. says that there are three
classes Of society in England
aristocrats. who are barbarlans: the
middle class. who are philistines. and
the dregs Of society. who are nothing
at all. 1t is funny thing that the
late King Edward. who. had all the
vices of the aristocrats. was beloved
by the middle class and that bis son.
King George, who has all the virtues
Of the middle class, is despised by the
srfstocrats. He and the queen are al

Dragon.-New York World,

Synthetic Rubies.

So absolutely perfect in color, hard
ness, refraction, durability and compo
sition are the most recently manufac
tured specimens Of rubies that Euro,
pean brokers now refuse to take rubies
In pawn, as they cannot distinguish
the synthetic gem from the product of
nature. The German jewelry trade has
petitioned the government to take legal
steps to protect the public by requiring
the synthetic gem to be sold as such.
The manufacture of sapphires and 9th
er gems is conducted under the same
general process by the addition Of the
necessary coloring matter. Paris is
producing large quantities Of the gems,

Historic Durazzo.

The Balkan turmoil is stirring our

For thousand years or so no one has

point across from Brundusium-which
is now Brindisi-and was chosen by
Cicero as his place Of pleasant exile

valuable and necessary process of
decay is hindered if the soil is acid.
Therefore applications of limestone
on acid soils may serve indirectly in
making the humus of the soil of
greatest value to growing crops. 1t
is also evident that to obtain most
profitable results with limestone there
must be plenty of organic matter
present.
Limestone also liberates certain
necessary plant food elements in the
soil from their insoluble combination.
A large array of figures indicate that
lime liberates potash from its more
lnsoluble forms thereby making it
more available for growing plants.
PHOSPHORUS may exist in the soil,
mainly in three different combina-
tlons, namely, lime phosphates, iron
phosphates and aluminium phosphate.
The latter two forms are very insou-
Bile so that phosphate in these soils
is largely unavailable to plants. Lime
phosphate on the other hand has it's
availability much increased by the
carbonated water of the soil. Con-
sequently by the use of lime which
may change some of the iron and
aluminium phosphates to lime phos-
pilates the availability of phosphorus
to plants is increased.
There are other and minor effects
of limestone on soils which might be
spoken Of but the space of this
article does not afford the opportun-
ity. Its main effects, however. have
been pointed out in a brief way.
1t might be said in conclusion that
no extensive tests have been made
of the use of ground limestone on
acid soils in Oregon. In fact, it has
been very difficult to obtain this
material at figure that would make
it profitable to the former should it's
applications prove beneficial. Some
of the fertilizer companies are now
endeavoring to make arrangements
whereby they can offer it for sale
at a low figure. Certain eastern
states, such as Ohio and Illinois, have
found the use of limestone of value
for the upbuilding of many of their
soils. 1t seems that no general blan-
ket recommendation can be made re-
garding it's use. The safest rule
seems to be the actual trial of the
material on the soil itself, enough be-
ing added to neutralize all the acid
ity. From the results obtained in
other states it would seem reasonable
to expect that the use of ground
limestone might be of value for use
on the acid soils of this state.

III lingering his rifle. The long
III hours of inaction and sus-
pense had told upon his nerves
as on those of every man in the line.
Above all, the constant thunder OF the
hidden guns swelling momentarily till
the very air seemed to shake with
their reverberation filled him with
vague uneasiness and curious phys
ical discomfort. His body somehow
seemed to have lost solidity, his stom-
ach trembled, something crept along
his spine. The day was already hot
but his hands were cold. Anxiously
he gazed In the direction of the ter
rible sound There was nothing to be
seen, not even dimness on the clear

dredth time his eyes ranged the
ground which somewhere concealed
him the grassland stretched uninter-
rupted by hedge or ditch, save where
about 800 yards distant a stream
wound a course roughly parallel to
the position. until mile and half
away 1t reached the dark mass Of
woodland which swept over the crest
OF the next ridge and down to its foot.
A road emerged from the wood,
crossed the level ground and curved
to the left of the position. The whole
plain was bare OF any living thing.
Suddenly, with six regular crashes
at Intervals as precise as those of a
striking clock, the howitzer battery be-
hind him fired. He looked eagerly
rso discover their target, but could not
~even see where the shells burst. The
battery continued to fire methodically
eover the ridge into seeming nothing
Aness until it's monotony rendered him
almost oblivious to 1t.
After some time he heard pecu-
liarly shrill sound. something like the
screech of a steam whistle 1t started
on n low note. rose swiftly to a pierc.
ing intensity and finished in sharp
crash behind him. Then the shrill
sound came again. and suddenly a
white cloud-puff appeared in the air
I'm front of him. and there was crash
and strange humming.

Tones of Insects.

An investigator, given to the collec-
ton of curious data. has observed that
there are at least three different tones
emitted by insects; low one during
flight, higher one when the wings
are held in such manner that they do
not virbrate. and yet higher tone
when the insect is held so that none
of its limbs can be moved. This last,
It is pointed out. Is the voice prop

is produced by the stigmata Of the

to sign an order setting next Monday,
Sept. %, as the day for hearing the
contest.
The complaint of Mr.. Fielder alleges
that of the five Republican votes cast
in Camden precinct he received two and
Rogers three; that one Democrat and
five Socialists wrote in the name of
Mr.. Rogers on their ballots, and that
same were enormously counted for
Rogers by the precinct board. If the
contention of Mr.. Fielder is sustained
and found correct, he will have a ma
jority of five over Rogers.
It is likely that the defense in the
contest will argue that similar errors
have occurred in other precincts, and
that they will ask for a recount of the
whole district on the Office of commits
sioner.
