OF Prof. Gerlaeh, an authority In asri-

TO what extent IN 1914 and 1915 the yield
OF crops was increased by using sulphate
OF ammonia and cyanamide. a comblna-
ton OF atmospheric nitrogen with cali

he says. German farmers have a fully
satisfactory substitute for the nitrate OF
sode which they had been importing 20
the amount Of about 10000 tons a year.
Prof GerIach regards the new industry
Of extracting nitrogen from the atmoS-
phere As Of great promise for the future
Of the German food supply. He said that
thu factories Tor its recovery. mostly be-
guns inco the outbreak OF the war, arc
now finished OF nearing completion. and
that when they are all In operation they
win produce yearly an equivalent OF

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.)
TOXIC. Oct. 1.-The japanese people
are paying honor TO Japanese ex-
plorer, Rev. Ekai Kawaguchi. who has
just returned from a successful religious

his way through mountain and forest
and overcoming many hardships finally
succeeded In entering Tibet on August
.. 1898. three years after his departure
from Japan. His wanderings In the In

travelling physician. After studying the
Tibetan religion and conditions for ten
years he was given copies OF the San
skirt Buddhist scriptures and returned
TO Japan.
Estimating his work the japan Times
said; HE has now brought home thou
sands OF manuscript leaves and scrip
lures, claimed to be OF immense value
and sacred to the pure Buddhism OF old,
that in its unauthorized form found it's
way ages ago TO the land OF recluse.
Rev. Mr.. Kawaguchfs work is rare
example of undaunted resolution,
crowned with brilliant success after
years OF patience and perseverance and
not little OF adventure. He will now

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, May 1.-Rehecting bear
ish cables and more favorable
weather outlook than had been pre-
dicted yesterday. the cotton market
opened quite active and to points
lower today, followed by further losses
of 3 to 4 points under scattered liqui-
dalton. Private cables, reporting a
poor demand for yarns in Manchester
with prices weakening and further cur
tailment likely. in connection with the
small sales of print cloths at Fall River
for the week, also tended to encourage
bearish sentiment in the early market
here. 1t was said, however. that. while
the demand for seed from Texas is in
creasing as a result of replanting which
is necessary. seed is scarce and several
orders from South American countries
have had to be turned down.
