Probably few students OF agriculture
realize the fertillzing qualities of tropi-
cal rains. In the Annales de Geogra-
phie M. Guillnume Capus, who has
chemically studied the effects of rainy
weather in French Indo-China, says
that lightning produces large amounts
Of nitric acid. In the thirteen dis
tricts Of the Tonkin delta of Indo-Chi-
ma, where thunderstorms are frequent,
M. Capus asserts that the lightning
annually produces an amount of at
mospheric nitrogen equivalent to 49,
300 tons Of nitrate of soda. or 1850
tons Of sulphate OF ammonia. the
value Of which is nearly $20,000,OO0.

An Error Perpetuated,

The composltor, who has been ac-
cused Of many things. seems really to
have been responsible for the fixing of
the festival Of st. Alban, the first Brit
fish martyr, on June II in the English
calendar. All other saints recognized
by the English and Roman churches
in common are honored on the same
days In both calendars. but in the
Roman calendar St Adams day is
June %. In all English prayer books
also. prior to 1902, St Alban is COM
memorated on June %. and the pres
ent discrepancy seems to have arisen
from the typesetter Of the prayer book
Of 1862 mistaking the x of XXI for
v and rendering the date June XVII

ever since.-London Chronicle.

The legislature refused to adopt the
budget system in the appropriation bill
thereby depriving the governor of the
right to exercise his constitutional pre-
negatives to the full extent. They ap-
propriated lump sums wherever they
saw fit to do SO, and consequently in
creased the cost of the state govern
ment and put the state backward in
stead of forward.
The lower house which is charged
with the creating Of revenue bills
passed an appropriation bill for the ed
vocational institutions of the state
amounting to over $4,000 not includ
ing the appropriation for the normal
school at Albion.
Tho senate reduced this appropria
ton nearly $175,O0O. The Albion
normal school was afterwards added
to the educational bill carrying $62,
10000 above the 100000 appropriated
With the Albion normal and all the

my first message to the legislature, in
which l urgently requested the men,
bers to act upon this question. I pre-
fer to take chance with the board of
equalization, whose membership is com
posed of men who will no doubt pay
some attention to the requirements of
the state and the rights of the tax
payers thereof.
But even with the $1,000,00O.00 au-
thorized levy for this administration,
the taxpayers of the state will realize
an actual cash reduction in their tax
bill of $50O,OOO.O0 from the $4,000
100000 authorized two years ago, which
reduction will be convincing argument
that not only have the expenditures
been reduced but the pledge to reduce
taxation has likewise been kept.
