Tenements Worried Rome.

The tenement house is not a modern
institution by any means. So great was
the number of such houses in ancient
Rome, and SO badly were they con

Ohio, who was marching against Vitel

by the ruins of tenement houses that
had been undermined by inundation.
The collapse OF tenement houses In
those days was SO common that little
attention was paid to 1t. The tenants
have been described by writer OF the
times as constantly fearing to be
burned or buried alive. Companies ex,

These unpaid bills are mostly due to

Leaumes Add Nitrnnen

At the Rhode Island station Ave
year pot experiment with different
legumes was conducted to ascertain
the amount of nitrogen secured from
the air during the growth of the
legumes in light. gravelly soil,
without the addition of nitrocenous
manure. but with optimum amounts of
other manures. 1t was found that
the approximate gain during five
years with cowpeas and soy beans
and with vetch, which was grown al
ternately with each, was ton of nit
rogen per acre, about seven-tenths OF
which was contained in the 25 tons
of moisture-free summer crops re-
moved, and the remainder in the soil
itself. The following facts should be
taken into consideration: The soil in
the pots was 10 inches deep some
what deeper than the surface soil in
many localities; the winter vetch was
grown In a heated greenhouse.
