RADIOACTIvlTY OF THE BODY
Examination by German Scientist
Shows Different Organs Contain
Some Electric Substance.

In his investigation of the radioac-
tivity of the organs of the human body,
DR.. Albert Caan of Heidelberg has ex-
amined Al organs from IL different
persons, and every one of them con-
tanned some substance that made the
air electrically conductive, as shown
by the Brecker emanometer 1t was
concluded that this substance must
be radioactive, though possibly not
radium ITSELF The brain, and also
the lungs, proved very active; but the
heart and liver were less so, and the
kidneys and spleen showed only slight
activity. The radioactive substance
seemed to increase with age and in
disease Little effect was shown from
such conditions as social position, oc-
cupation or manner of living, and even
locality Of living was unimportant Ra-
dioactive substances-th effect of
which on the vital activity Of the
body cells remains to be learned
might come from food and drink, or
from the air. The testing emanome-
ter includes receptacle for the ashes
of about 100 grains Of the organ under
test, and this Is connected by electric
wires and rubber tube to a wire

CLEANED THE DOCS BUGGY
Which Was Not What Boys Intended
to Do, but That Was the End
of the Adventure.

Il remember" said Uncle Josh, who
was In the humor for telling a yarn,
Il remember one balmy day In July
when the other boys and decided to
steal old Doc Hoffum's horse and
buggy and drive to the river to go
swimming. Doc was visiting at our
house that day, and it looked easy to
us to drive two miles over to the
river and get cooled off and then
bring the horse and buggy back before
the old man missed them.
There were good many of us
and we were not dressed very fine.
Slim. for example, was attired in a
long linen buster that Topped out be-
hind. The springs allowed US to bump
pretty hard, there being SO many pas
sengers, but we got to the river safe
ly.
I'VE had a bully swim, but Slick
said he thought we ought to wash the
buggy while We were there. The way
to do 1t, he said was to run the buggy
into the river.
I'VE unhitched the horse and pro-
ceeded to back the buggy into the
water. But the buggy got away from
us, and away it went, much further
than we expected. We couldn't hold
1t and so 1t disappeared entirely. A
couple of bubbles came up and that
was all!
while we were diving to locate the
buggy the horse got away. and we all
took after him. We chased him
around clump of trees, half of us
on one side and half on the other to
head him off. Both parties rounded
the clump of trees at the same time
and ran plump into camp meeting,
mostly women
I'VE let the horse go then and by
that time we had forgotten where we
left the buggy"
Il suppose some one stole all your
clothes while you were gone" sug-
gested the man from Topeka.
mo" said Uncle Josh, I'VE found
our clothes, and from their position
on the bank we figured out where the
pu5Sy ouSuI W De. Oue VI tne camp
meeting people brought the horse
back and we got rope from him and
dived around until we got the rope
tied to the buggy. Then we got it
out on the bank. That is the only
time Doc Hoffum's buggy was ever
clean!"
Didn't 1t hurt the buggy?" asked
the man from Topeka.
Didn't harm a thing but the
squeak. The bath utterly destroyed
that. Old Doc Hoffum often wonder.
ed what had become of the squeak
for he missed it badly. The horse
missed it, too. 1t was a good, soothing
sound that the two of them were &C.

over the road"

NURSERY ANNEX new

Inc newest wrinkle in the moving
lure business Is nursery annex,

more, according to the trained nurse

The nursery is large store, which

when a six-months-old baby awoke to
find that he had been cruelty deserted

and yelled and refused to be COM

mother was notified by having her
name flashed on the screen with
notice that she was wanted forthwith

That this institution is a boon to
mothers of large families is shown by
the fact that a Mrs. Goldstein comes

TO Eleanor, aged ten. While Mother
Goldstein takes look at the pictures
the young Goldsteins have an equally
enjoyable afternoon in the swings.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LE-
GUME CROPS.
JOHN HENDERSON.

Among various causes that have led
to the abandonment of land once cul-
tiVated there is no doubt that the
greatest single cause has been the
failure to utilize legume crops. With
out the rational use of legumes in
rotation the depletion of nitrogen and
the consequent falling off in produce
tivity are certain to occur"
The above statement Is made by the
department of agriculture In connec-
ton with the use of legume crops in
rotation methods Of farming. 1t is
rarely passiblc to keep up the supply
of nitrogen from the humus derived
from nonleguminous plants.
There are sixteen important legu-
minous field crops in the United States
namely, red clover, alfalfa. cowpeas,
alsike clover, crimson clover, white
clover, SOY beans. peanuts, Canada
peas, hairy vetch, common vetch, vel
, vet beans, Japan clover, sweet clover,
bur clover and beggar weed.
In comparatively few cases does it
happen that one of these legumes can
be used in place of another" continues
the statement Cases in which there
is a choice are red clover, alfalfa, al
sike clover and sweet clover soy

son clover, hairy vetch and bur clover.
velvet beans and beggar weed. The
department has been frequently asked
by farmers. where there is choice Of
leEumes adapted to the same purpose,
which one adds the most nitrogen to
the soil
ITO some extent this is determined
by the amount of nitrogen contained
IN the crop. Thus OF 1000 pounds of
green plants, cowpeas contain on thu

The frequent reference to the Baldwin
apple in the press of the country during
the past year is directly attributable TO
the wise action OF a defendant of the
man whose name 1t bears 1t is proba-
BILE that Mrs. Nellie NJ Baldwin Farmer
of Pittsburgh was influenced quite as
much by wholesome family pride as by
a desire for profit when she purchased
a farm in Hampton Falls and caused to
be set out last year 2p0 Baldwin apple
trees. Presumably her principal motive
was the establishing Of monument to
her ancestor. but If, in connection with
that, she improved an opportunity to
make a good investment, she showed ex-
celen' judgement At tho same time
she accomplished something which could
scarcely have occurred to her when she
decided upon the enterprise, and that was
tic revival Of interest in this standard
apple and n renewed appreciation Of its
qualities. Mrs. Farmers example will
be followed by many apple growers. and
