The department of agriculture.
through Its bureau of soils, has re-
Gently completed analysis OF the Log
serhead sponge, which grows abund-
antly in the waters of Southern Flori-
da, to determine It's value as 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
# 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. +. 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 fertilizer
The analyses show that the approx
mate results on air dry material show
four per cent. OF nitrogen. three-quar
ters of one per cent. each OF potash
and phosphoric acid, five per cent. oi
lime and 40 per cent. of organic mat

evident from the composition of this
material and its demonstrated eff
cheney as a fertilizer that 1t has con
siderable value to farmers and fruit
growers who have easy access to II

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 a 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-frst
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.

SENATOR WAS CURIOUS.

Senator-elect Robert e, Broussard
of Louisiana is a 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 and
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 to
the geological survey for examination.
He received note saying:
Pebbles, blown from the roof OF a
house that was being covered, some
painted blue and others red"

Institutions New Pamphlet Tells of
Work of Different Parties and of
Many Specimens Received
Solar Rays Variable.

ington.-Followlng the custom
established in 1911, the Smithsonian
Institution has just issued an illus
trated pamphlet dealing with the
many scientific expeditions conducted
under its direction. or in which its
representatives participated.
The pamphlet describes the work of
about twenty different parties, and
the territory covered includes certain
portions of British East Africa. Abys-
sinia, Algeria, Eastern Siberia and
Mongolia, the Altai mountains. Bor-
neo, st. Lawrence island, Alaska,
British Columbia, Alberta, Newfound-
land, Labrador, the Panama canal
zone, and the Bahama islands, and
many sections of the United States.
The institution was represented by
two small parties in Borneo.
DR.. w. L. Abbott, who financed the
Dutch East Borneo expedition under
Mr.. II. c. Raven, and who has present
ed many large collections to the Ma
tional museum, has been carrying on
"A personal investigation in Cashmere.

studying the smaller mammals of that
country, specimens of which have

the institution was enabled to CO.

ative Zoology in an expedition to the
Altai mountains of Siberia and Mon
golia.

OF particular interest was a trip
made by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka to Siberia
and Mongolia, to study the physical
anthropology of the natives. His par
ticular object was a search for data
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
J. 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 were obtained.
The astrophysicial observatory of
the Smithsonian Institution again sent
an expedition to Bassour, Algeria, for
the continuation of the observations
relative to the heat of the sun, an in
vestigation on which the observatory
has been working for the past seven
years, with observing stations on
Mount Wilson, Cal, and during two
seasons in Algeria. Mr.. Abbot, the
director of the observatory. states
that the observations of the last year
prove conclusively the supposed varia-
bility of the solar rays.

RED TAPE TANGLED.

The red tape of the United States
government simply gets tangled up
until it costs the government pretty
penny Recently an army officer sent
in his gas and electric light bills. and
these were tied up in SO much red
tape in the department that the gov
ernment was finally penalized for the
amount, and had to lose the discount.
The auditor for the army held the
officer responsible and deducted the
amount from his credit, but the con-
troller relieved him and allowed him
the amount of the difference.
