Fire at Traverse City.

Quite serious fire occurred at Tray
erse City last Sunday.
An explosion caused by leakage in a
gasoline engine fired the coal dock in
the Pere Marquette yards and resulted
in painful injury and serious burns to
Charles Sutton, an employe of the
railroad. The blaze started in the room
in which the engine was used. Loose
coal dust and dry timbers quickly ig-
nted and the flames spread almost in
stantly to the upper portions of the
structure. Before Sutton was able to
leave the building his clothes were
ablaze and it was onlyby tearing his
garments almost completely off that he
was able to escape with his life.
It was only a short time until the
lower portions had burned away
enough to drop the huge bin which is
supported above the track and which
cont aimed $50 tons of coal A locomo-
tive was finally used to clear the track
and to partly clear up the wreck which
surrounded thecoat.' By getting to the
heart of the fire at once most of the
coal was saved, not more tl,an ten or
twelve tors being burned. The
building, however; is wrecked.
The wrecked structure was built di-
rectly over the main line track and a
crew was at once set to work to COM
plete the destruction of the building
so that the track could be cleared for
traffic. The exact loss has not been de-
termined, but it is fully covered by in
surance carried by the Pere Marquette.

ACID in SOIL.
Report of Prof. Patten of Agri,
cultural College.

Prof. A. j. Patten, chemist at M. A.
c., declares that Michigan has prob
lem to face in the way of acid soils. He
further maintains that many of the So
called ','worn-out' farms are by no
means past their usefulness, but that
their unproductiveness is due largely
to certain acids which makes it impos-
sible for them to produce grains or
anything except stunted crops.
just why soils become acid is mat
ter not entirely cleared up. Certain or
ganic decays going on, however, is said
to create a certain acidity. Prof. Pat
ten has made several trips down into
the state recently for the purpose of
studying conditions. At Lawrence and
other nearby places he has found an
acid soil. The peculiar part Of an acid
soil, however, is the fact that it may
cover but very small area surrounded
by the most fertile of soil. The fertile
soil is indicated by the appearance OF
the crops, while the acid area is either
devoid of crops or grown over with
weeds and stunted grain.
The same condition has found to OBJ
tain in greenhouses and Prof. Patten's
department has analyzed scores of sam.
Piles to determine where the sterility OF
the soil was due to acid or other causes
Generally an acid condition is found
Scores of samples from various farms
about the state are being received and
inquiries made as to the cause of the
nonfertility of the fields or tracts from
which the samples were taken. Lime
is being used successfully to neutralizc
the condition and common mari, which
many farmers may have in their swamp
land, has been found to be lust as effic
lent as a neutralizer.
