THE SPOILERS"

From the Detroit News, August, Is,
1914.
"The Spoilers" the Rex Beach
story Of the Alaskan argonauts, which
is being shown at the Broadway
theatre, has Caught on" and &C
cordingly the house management has
decided to hold it another week.
"The Spoilers" is so filled with
rich red-blooded incidents that the adj
vance notice so far have only touched
a few Of the more important ones
One in particular, never fails to elicit
applaus from men and women. 1t is
Helen Chester's plunge from the
small. pox infested ship "Ohio" at I'm
alaska, where the ship is under quar-
antine. This young woman makes a
picturesque swim ashore, pursued by
a life-boat from the ship she deserted.
Then comes a hand-to-hand combat to
save her from oeing brought back to
the ship. "The Spoilers" is well ex-
ecuted and all excitement from the
first until the last scene.

Farming.
LINING THE SOIL.

Old Problem Whose Value 10 Not
Properly Realized.
The problem Of lining the soil ia an
old one. but very few farmers realize
the value that it has to the field prod
ucts. In the first place, lime is not a
fertilizer. as I have heard some farm
ers say. It may be called a supple
mentary fertilizer, but that Is as close
as we can get. We know that It is
needed to improve the soil conditions;
and that is the main idea that should
be known by every tiller of the soil.
Lime materials not only furnish cal.
cium, which Is essential for the growth
Of crops. but they have the power of
improving the mechanical condition Of
both the sands and clays. This they
do by binding the materials more firm
~ together. In talking to a farmer the
other day ":,m!t the lime problem he
conparcl ~: alton " lime on the soil
to the prorf s Of making popcorn balls.
The grains of popcorn are held to-
gether hy the mc!asses, and in tho
same way the lime holds the soil par
tfcles In close contact with one an
other. :
In the case Of sands, lime thus rem
ders them more compact and improves
their water holding power. With clays,
the tenacity Of which is largely due to
the ineness Of the particles, the lime
causes the fine particles to adhere to
one another, and these aggregations
make the soil act like one composed of
larger particles. From this we see
that it improves the mechanical condi-
ton, renders the soil more easily cult
waited. and it is better aerated. Frost
and humus also improve the physical
state Of sticky, impervious soils, but
lime is possibly the most potent agen-
cy, and it is certainly the agency most
readily controlled by the farmer.
We find that lime also corrects or
neutralizes the acid which naturally
forms in the soils. Ohio Farmer.

Bedlanh

The word ''bedlam" is a corruption
of the word bethlehem" and original
ed as a synonym for chaos at the time
when the house Of Bethlehem, occu'
pied by a sisterhood of London, be-
came an insane asylum. The treat.
ment Of the insane in the early part OF
the sixteenth century was not well I'm.
derstood, and, according to the theo'
ries then prevalent, it was necessary
to brighten the patient out Of his lu'
macy. All sorts Of awful e%xpedients
were resorted to, among them "sur'
prise Aoors," which slipped from under
the feet; surprise baths" and fog
gings at the periods of most severe ILL
ness; hence the name "bedlam," the
result of incorrect spelling possibly,
came easily to stand for awful things.

WEIGHT of Air,

There is no uniform weight for air.
For instance, say the weight Of a cubic
foot Of air at e level is 400 grains,
with the pressure removed, by its ele-
walton to an altitude of 10000 feet, its
weight would be about the half of
1,700 grains. In other words, the cubic
foot at ten OF twelve thousand feet
above the sea would expand to two
cubic feet, each Of about $50 grains
weight. EEEls

CHEVY CHASE CLUBS
OPEN TENNIS TOURNEY
Eighth Annual Event to Start Nav
IA and Run Until
Finished.

The open tennis tournament Of the Chevy
Chase Club. the eighth annual event I'M
der the auspices OF the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association. will
open May IA and run through the fol-
lowing days until the finals are reached.
The present closed tournament Of the
club has tuned up the players Of that
organization for the big event next
month and the entrants will certainly be
very large from home. or the other or
ganizations. Columbia Country Club Is
sure to send a large delegation, while
many will come from the Bannockburn
and Washington Country Clubs. The
out-of-town entrants have not been an
nounced. but the chances are that sew
eral Of the New York and Philadelphia
stars will come over and perhaps several
from Baltimore and Richmond.
The Chevy Chase club and tho tennis
committee stand very high with the
racqueters Of the east and 1t Is not i'm
probable that the entry list will be SO
notable as to attract national as well as
local interest. The courts are conceded
to be almost perfect and tennis Of the bes:
class is assured during the tournament.
Announcements Of notable entrants will
be made during the next couple weeks.
