sPoNeEs FOR FERTILIzING.

The department of agriculture,
through it's bureau of soils, has re-
Gently completed analysis of the Log
gerhead sponge, which grows abund-
antly in the waters of Southern Flori-
da, to determine its value as a fertil-
izer. This sponge, according to Mr.
Thomas E. Reedy Of Key West, grows
in countless thousands and to an
enormous size in shallow water, where
II is easy to procure. Mr.. Reedy also
states that the farmers Of the Florida
keys use the Loggerhead sponge with
wonderful results and hardly ever use
chemical fertilizers. DR.. II. F. Moore
of the United States bureau of fish
cries cites the use of this sponge by
citrus fruit growers of the Florida
mainland and states that he has seen
this sponge growing in such quanti-
ties that he has long thought 1t should
be exploited.
A specialist of the department re-
Gently made analyses Of samples
from Key West which verify the
value of this sponge as a fertilizer.
The analyses show that the approx
mate results on air dry material show
four per cent. of nitrogen, threequar-
tiers of one per cent. each of potash
and phosphoric acid. five per cent. OF
lime and 40 per cent. of organic mat
ter The specialists say that it is
evident from the composition of this
material and it's demonstrated eff
cheney as a fertilizer that it has con-
siderable value TO farmers and fruit
growers who have easy access to it
in the shadows Of the sea. The de-
partment is conducting further inves-
LEGATIONS TO determine the feasibility
OF extending the use of this sponge as
a fertilizer.

SENATOR WAS CURIOUS.

Senator-elect Robert E. Broussard
of Louisiana is wiser man now. The
geological survey made him so.
Mr.. Broussard was one of the first
persons to venture out of his hotel
after the severe storm that swept
Washington a few days ago. On the
sidewalks, where he Travelled, he found
thousands of pebbles of many shapes
and colors. He noticed among others
gray, blue and reddish-tinted stones.
Believing that the storm had blown
such pebbles out of the air or some
distant planet, he became curious TO
know where they came from ana
whether or not they contained pre-
cious metals. He saved a handful OF
them, and without saying anything
about his find, took the little stones 10
the geological survey for examination
He received a note saying:

established in 1911, the Smithsonian

the institution was enabled to co.
operate with the Museum of Compar-
alive Zoology In an expedition to the

of the museum, also visited Siberia,

made by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka to Siberia

concerning the race which is supposed
to have peopled America. He draws
the conclusion that there exist In sew
eral places in Siberia, Mongolia and
Tibet numerous remains Of an ancient
population, which was physically
Identical with and in all probability
gave rise to the American Indian.
The hunting trip carried on by Paul
], Rainey In British East Africa, in
which the institution was represented
by Edmund Heller, was terminated In
December, 1911. and since then the
collection has been received at the
National museum. Altogether the
trip was a remarkably successful one;
nearly 1000 mammals. 1000 reptiles.
and 400 birds we're obtained.

an expedition to Bassour, Algeria, for

SEEKING INFORMATION.

While strange letters are not a
rarity in government departments. the
secretary of agriculture recently re-
ceiyed a letter which breaks all rec
ords for inquiry having to do with
drugs and medicine. This letter
which is printed below. emitting the
name and address Of the writer, gives
an insight into a certain type OF per.
sons who think they can use all sorts
OF drugs and poisons In making patent

CALENDAR REFORMED.

Thirty days hath September, April. June
All the rest have thirty-one-
You know the rest. Over in the Of
flee of the comptroller of the treasury
they don't believe in the second line
of this old saying, but they stick abb
solutely to the first.
A case in point is that of DR..
Charles w. Richardson. He was or
dered to active service on May 81, for
that day only. His service was to de-
liver an address to the graduating
class Of the army medical school.
Doctor Richardson completed his ac-
tive service by turning in his bill for
one days active service. When the
matter came to the attention of AS
sistant Comptroller Warwick that Of
fetal decided that in all cases where
compensation is rated on monthly
basis each month, February included,
the month is presumed to have thirty
days and under the law the govern
ment does not pay for the thirty-hrst
day. Therefore Doctor Richardson
was refused pay for his labor on the
31st day of May.
In further explaining the decision
treasury officials said that Doctor
Richardson, had he delivered his ad-
dress on February 2S, would have re-
ceived three days pay.
The only thing left is to figure 1t out
for yourself.
