Sulphur and the Soil.

n \ parts of France the residue from gas
works is extensively used as a fer
t1lizer. Analyses of several samples Of
garden soil prove that the value Of this
unusual fertilizing agent is due in part
to the large amount of sulphur in IT,
40 per cent of sulphur and from ] to
per cent of nitrogen, in the form of
ammonia or it's salts. Experiments in
Flour of sulphur is said to promote the
growth Of both roots and leaves and to
give to the plants a deeper green color
than they would have without it. Prob
ably it helps to form chlorophy. More
over, some of the sulphur is oxidzed and
becomes sulphate in the soil
In this relation. it may be pointed out
that experiments at the University OF
Wisconsin are regarded as proving that
the generally prevailing theory that sui
phur in the soil is of little value for pro-
noting fertility, as compared with phos-
phorus and nitrogen, is erroneous. and
that sulphur is, in fact, of vast import
ance. Continuous cultivation. together
with insufficient fertilization, causes a
large annual loss of sulphur which cam
not be compensated from the atmosphere,
and little is brought up by capillartty
from the subsoil. The eXperimenters,
therefore, recommend the application Of
fertilizers containing sulphur to lands
which are frequently cropped. The fall
IRE hitherto to recognize the great value
of sulphur in the soil is ascribed 10 faulty
analytic methods employed by early in
vestigatorS.

The Tomb of Osiris.

Archeologists at work in excavating
the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos
have discovered the tomb of Osiris. the
most human god of the Egyptians.
This is located in a building believed
to antedate the pyramids and sphynx.
which has contained the finest sculp-
ture and architecture yet discovered In
Egypt.
The most important feature Of this
discovery is a great subterranean res
ervofr. or basin, upon which the barque
of Osiris once f1oated. From inscrip-
lions upon the walls, this water evil
IDENTIFY possessed curative qualities and
was visited by many invalids. Hy-
draulic engineers now studying the
sheet of water which extends under
most of Egypt believe that it was
once above the surface. The reservoir
though its exploration has not been
blocks of broken granite which still
obstruct 1t.
The building containing it has walls
of solid masonry more than six feet
thick. Its interior was divided into
great naves by rows of monolithic
pillars of such size that large numbers
of them were cut up into mill stones
by the conquering Romans. The city
of Abydos lay thirty feet below the
surface of the desert, and its wonders
are just beginning to become known.
The temple of Osiris is believed to be
its greatest building, and the old res
ervoir is the greatest marvel of the
temple.

At one time he was in such poverty

were fully agreed that he should de-
vote his whole life to the task of
teaching men how to fly.
For over thirty years Zeppelin de-
voted himself to the construction of
flying machines. but he concluded that
the risks were too great and the sue
cesses were too small to warrant the
continuation of such experiments On
one occasion he fell from a great
height. but happened to alight in some
bushes. which broke his fall and saved
his life. although he received a number
of painful injuries. On another occa-
sion he fell from considerable
height, but again had the good for
tune to alight on soft earth, without
sustaining more than a fractured leg.
These were but two of number of ac-
cidents that led him finally to abandon
the flying machine for the navigable
airship
Even the latter. however, has it's

capes came when he fell asleep in the

All Around the Place.

Persons who plan to set out beds of
tulips. etc. this fall will find that
bulbs of all kinds are cheaper and to
be had in greater variety than ever
before. The reason = for this is that
practically all of Hollands European
market for bulbs has been destroyed by
the war The consequence being that
vastly increased quantities are being
sent to the United States.
A further reason is that at the out
break of the war scores of commercial
florists, anticipating a great shortage
! in the supply of Holland bulbs, planted
extra large acreages, and this greatly
increased domestic supply is coming
on the market this season.
! Big florists in the New England
states, as well as in the far northwest,
are now digging their bulbs and max
ing them ready for market AS these
| come in competition with the Holland
supplies now in transit prices are tum-
bling and lovers of tulips, narctssi, hy-
acinths. etc. are reaping the benefit
The same is true of gladioli, though
these latter should not be set out UNI
til next spring.

sary to success in raising hyacinths
and narcissus in the house. Just put
