Human Purchase In Africa.

MOVING 1856 MILES A SECOND
That ls the Speed Of the Greatest
AebuIa, II Figures Lately Com
piled Are Correct.

A great deal of controversy has
been waged about the structure and
composition of the great spiral ne
bula in Andromeda, the most beauti-
full and striking apparition which ce-
lestial photography has revealed.
1t was suggested some two years
ago that the nebula was not gaseous,
but was a universe of stars external
to our own galaxy. This inference,
made by v. M. Slipher, was based on
the appearance OF certain lines in it's
light spectrum which were inconsist-
ent with the idea that 1t was a CASE
Gus nebula.
The same observer by examining
the shift of the lines in its spectrum
from four good plates obtained
some months ag0-has calculated the
speed at which the nebula is moving
He obtains the startling result that
the nebula is approaching us at the
rate Of 1856 miles q second.
1t is a little difficult to credit that
such vast object as this. which at
the least estimate must be hundreds
of millions of miles in diameter, could
be moving at so great speed
Moreover, no movement sideways
of the nebula has ever been detected,
and therefore, since it does not seem
probable that it can be coming toward
our telescopes directly head on" it
must either be ct very great dis
lance or else there is something
wrong In the observations.

We Should Grow

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
The air We breathe is made up of
about 80 per cent. nitrogen, yet every
year we are spending thousands of dol
lars on Maryland farms for nitrogen
to feed our crops. If we could use
this nitrogen in the air, we would
never need to worry about using up
our supply. On the other hand, the
commercial nitrogen we buy costs
from Is to Is cents a pound, and is
easily lost from the soil So we need
TO look for cheaper and more lasting
form of nitrogen supply.
Certain plants known as legumes
such as the cloyers, alfalfa, COW peas,
vetch. and soy beans are able to take
up this nitrogen from the air in small
quantities and store it in their roots.
Beside the nitrogen stored in this way,
we get from to pounds per acre in
the rain fall which may be largely
saved and used by our crops if there
is plenty of humus in the soil. This
last amount is about what we put on
the land in using 200 pounds of COM
mercial fertilizer containing 9 per
cent. of nitrogen. Now, when it is
possible to add nitrogen in this fashion
at practically no cost, can we afford
to spend our money for commercial
nitrogen at 20 cents pound?

PROVES MAN OF STANDING
More Than Little Amount of PhiIoso.
ply in Walters Idea of
Having Credit.

For the twentieth time Dave, the
waiter, pushed a pencil insinuatingly
toward the regular customer as he pre-
sented the check for the meal. For
the twentieth time the regular Gus
toner, heroically resisting temptation,
averred that he had always paid cash
and always meant to pay cash.
Dave" he added, you shouldn't
tempt me this way. Don't you think a
man ought to be proud of paying cash
or his meals? I'm proud Of it. Don't
tamper with my virtue"
Whereat Dave, looking pityingly
upon the customer, enunciated the fol.
lowing:
Proud? Why should you be
proud? Hasn't it ever occurred to you
that anybody-some one we've never
seen in our lives at this restaurant
and don't know from Adam-can come
in here and pay cash for what he gets?
Now, l ask you, can any Tom, Dick
or Harry sign his check?
No, sir. To have credit, q man must
have standing. The fact that you sign
for your meals gives you q standing.
1t means that you're a regular fellow;
that you're known and respected. Pay
cash? Bah! Any fool can do that!"
Without another word the regular
customer picked up the pencil, wrote
his name on the check, and put down
a quarter for a tip.
'Confound you, Dave" he said:
you've converted me-"

Maryland grows something like $780,
900 acres of corn annually. An in
crease of but a single bushel per acre,
which is less than has been obtained
in Delaware. would add to the value
of the crop in the state to the extent
of 100000 per year. Maryland grows
$4,000 acres of wheat per year. An
increase of but a single bushel per
year, and this amount is easy to OBJ
tain, would increase the resources of
the state 100000 per year. In other
words, an increase of one bushel per
acre in the yields OF two of her largest
crops. in a single year, would practic.
ally build and equip an Agricultural
College that would compare favorably
with that Of almost any other state.

dollar gold pieces. There was also nine
two-and-a-half dollar pieces, and two
five-dollar pieces. The coins were

"A Comfortable

Maryland farmers probably make
more clear money out of hogs than
from any other kind of live stock on
their farms. Naturally we should ex-
pect them in consequence to be the
best housed and cared for stock on the
place. The opposite is too often the
case. Too many farmers have the
notion that anything is good enough
for a hog. If, however, they would
invest little time and money in re-
placing the make shift shacks they
use, their profit on their hogs might
readily be doubled.
