RED CROSS AIDS
 DELIVERY OF MAIL

(Gorrespondence of Associated Press)
 Venice. Oct. 6-Through the efforts of the Red Cross society, some twenty thousand letters and post cards from Austro-Hungarian war prisoners in Russia and Servia., have already been delivered to their relatives and friends at home. The corresp ondents from both countries comes through Ru- mania. The letters, of course, are read bv the official censors in the country where they are written. The Aus trian papers admit that, the cores pondence on the whole, gives the i'm. nression that the prisoners are being well treated. In Russia the wounded receive medical attention, and 9. grand dIlke visited them in hospital at Moscow. Nearly all the unwounded and those who have recovered from their injuries are being sent to omsk in Siberia. It Is thought that later they may. be put to work in the mines there. but nothing definite has been heard as to this.

 The Director of the Austrian Ia bakregie is credited with saying that the public have been showing their loyalty by rejecting all tobaccos, ci- gars and cigarettes manufactured in England or France.

Traffic In Park Goldfish.

Molesting the goldfish in the lakes
In Central park is no trifling offense,
as eight youngsters, taken to the ju.
venile court, have learned. In each
case a fine of 81 was imposed. The
lads were from the East side.
Park employees learned recently of a
traffic in park goldfish. 1t was found
that one boy had captured and sold
s1.35 worth in the park. The lad had
placed them in bottles as he got them
and then sold them at bargain prices
to park visitors. Police Commission
er Woods was informed, and detailed
some extra men around the Harlem
lake.
The cops" captured nine of the
young anglers. All had lines with bent
pins attached to the end, with a piece
of cotton for bait. The goldfish, in
greater numbers this year than ever
known before, rose to the cotton bait
and were soon in oaptivity.-New York

Horsepower of Water.

Still the water gives no power, no
energy. Falling water has only as
much power as is represented by its
weight A gallon of falling water will
develop as much power as a falling
block of iron weighing 62.5 pounds. OF
course, the greater the fall the greater
the power developed. Water falling one
foot will develop a pressure of .43
pounds per square inch of pipe. The
same amount of water falling 100 feet
will develop a pressure of 1881
pounds per square inch of pipe. Fall
ing 1000 feet, it would produce a pres
sure of 433.09 pounds per square inch
of pipe.
To compute the power of falling wa
ter it is necessary to multiply the vol
ume of flowing water in cubic feet per
minute by its weight, 62.5 pounds, and
this product by the vertical height of
the fall in feet, and divide by $4,000,
the number of foot-pounds represent
ing one horsepower for one minute.

NOGiS PkeCEPTS EOR BOYS
Code of Famous Japanese General
Worth Observing by Youngsters
of Any Country.

The late General Count Nogi, who
committed suicide at the moment
when the gun was fired which an
nounced the start of the funeral pro-
cession of the late Japanese emperor
issued a note of disciplinary instruc-
tons for the pupils of the grammar
grade of the Peers school, which has
just been reprinted. The gist of the
instructions is as follows:
First-Keep your mouth closed. He
who has always his mouth open shows
that his mind is blank.
Secondhand what you are looking
at. One whose eye is always wander
ing tells that his mind is also wander
ing.
Third-When paying your respects
look at the person whom you are sa-
luting.
Fourth-Do not forget your coat-of-
arms, family standing, and ancestors.
Due respect to your ancestors is i'm
portant.
Fifth-A boy should act boy-like.
Avoid becoming effeminate.
SiXth-Never indulge in luxury.
There is nothing that makes fool of
a man like luxury.
Seventh-Ride in rikisha as little
as possible. Even if rikisha is sent
for you, try to walk home.
Eighth-How many of you wash
your faces with cold water in the win
ter? You should not use warm water,
Ninth-When it is cold, think it is
hot; and when it is hot, think it is
cold.
Tenth-It is a shame to wear torn
clothes without mending them. But to
wear the torn part patched is nothing
to be ashamed of.
Eleventh-Know what is shame; he
who does not know what is shame is
inferior to dumb animals.
Twelfth-While in good health train
yourself so as to endure physical la
Dor. When you are i'll, however, obey
your physicians instructions.
Thirteenth-Make your clothes and
shoes bigger. Never mind the style
or shape.

to your country. Whoever cannot be

DOES NOT CAUSE SOIL ACID
Doubtful If Small Amount of Land
Plaster Generally Applied Has
Any Serious Effect.

The fear that the application of
land plaster makes soils acid, is I'M
founded. At least it is doubtful if
the small amount generally applied
has any serious and immediate in
tluence upon the acidity of the soil.
This is the belief of E. B. Hart of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who from time
to time has carried on numerous ex-
periments to determine the influence
of applying land plaster, rock phos-
phate and other fertilizers to fields
upon which various crop rotations
were followed.
The theory that land plaster ap-
piled to soil would make it acid, is
based on the assumption that the
plants remove from the soil more
calcium than sulphur. thereby leaving
behind q greater proportion of the
acid part of the land plaster. On the
contrary, it has been shown that the
common cereals, wheat, oats, corn,
barley and such other plants as the
turnip, rutabaga, cabbage and onion,
make positively greater demands for
sulphur than for calcium and appli-
cations of land plaster for such crops
will tend to make the soils alkaline
rather than acid. Such plants as
the meadow grasses, clover, alfalfa,
sugar beets and tobacco. use more
calcium than sulphur and in their
case the application of land plaster
would have a tendency toward devel-
oping acid soil. Potatoes use about
equal amounts of calcium and sui
phur, and land plaster could not pos
sibly influence soil reaction in this
case.
