lime in the soil may then be consid-
cred the real cause of the acidity
which develops. This lack Of lime in
some soils is brought about by leach
ing, by cropping, and by the absence
of lime in the rock from which the
soil was formed.
Practically all the loss of lime from
the soil is caused by teaching In the
formation of soil from rocks, the soil
always acquires lime Whenever the
rainfall is sufficient, the lime is gen
orally washed out of the soil into
streams and away to the ocean. Lime,
then, does not accumulate in soils in
humid areas, but in regions of little
rainfall it does collect and so is pres
ent to neutralize any acidity which
tends to develop through the decay of
organic matter AS a rule, therefore,
the soils of a dry climate are not acid;
in fact, they usually are alkaline. The
soils of a humid climate, on the other
hand, naturally tend TO become acid.
1t is only where unusual conditions
prevail. such as the existence Of rot
ten limestone rock directly under the
soil, the presecne in the soil OF lime
stone rock ground up by glacial ac-
ton, or the blowing of soils from a
dry area into an area Of greater rain
fall, that the soils are not acid.

submarine, which was a dream In
1865, is owned by the navy OF the
smallest power. 1t is true that single
submarines are not expected to ac-
complish much in a real struggle, so
the larger navies of the great powers
have fleets of submarines. The aero
plane and the dirigible balloon are to
be found in the possession of all arm
les in Europe today, yet they, too, are
only expected to be Of real service
when they are possessed in large num-
bers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps OF modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
AeropIane and Wireless.
in the recent smaller wars, aero
planes have been used TO limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by
the present war.
1t is much the same with the wire
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to show the greatest eff
cheney. In the intervening decade, how
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. 1t is now possible and, in
deed, is custom every day, TO send
OF more than 5000 miles. This, then,
is new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor
ship put over the great sending sta
tons on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was In existence In
1904, but it was a very different sea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet TO be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only five submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition OF Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various nayies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp OF the sea- Great
Britain has 76 built. and is building 20

Russia has 20. and is building IS:
while the United States has %, and is

submarine is still an unknown quan-
tity in warfare
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little Is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said TO follow one or more or the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor In
deciding a naval engagement. but the
fact remains that up TO the present
time it has done nothing to prove its
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical eff
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up I'd
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other But il has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled 10 re-
sort to the use OF the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above the
water. In order to see it's own course.
II Is known that the periscQpe Is
the eye OF the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way OF destroying this vital part OF
their boats.
The designers OF the submarine did
not count upon ii being seen. IL was
believed that it would go upon Its way,
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water. and when
submerged there are teiltale bubbles.
But il has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course OF submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as II IL was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine. and

Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.

prices But we have since gone back to prices

the war broke out. The larger part of the

A|RSH|PS AND

WASPS OF WAR
Both Are Getting Their First
Real Test in This Con-
flict in Europe.
MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now Is Prepared TO
Pull the Others Sting, but Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.

Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons, and for the last
century there have been countless in
ventions for the carrying On of war
fare in a particularly destructive man
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible that it must soon pass away
from the face of the earth. says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible continuance was
invented and introduced into armies
and navies inventors Immediately
busted themselves by offsetting and
discounting it's probable effect. Con-
seQuently war not only has not passed
away, but We still have it with US.
Thus 1t is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the worlds last con-
fagration, is found upon examination
to be false, and the end OF war is not
yet arrived.
