Endless Battle.

Look around today. Lo, here and
now in our civilized society, the old
allegories yet have meaning. the old
myths are still true. Into the Valley
of the Shadow Of Death yet often the
path OF Duty leads; through the streets
OF Vanity Fair walk Christian and
Faithful; and on Greatheart's armor
ring the changing blows. Ormuzd still
fights with Ahriman-the Prince Of
Light with the powers of darkness. He
who will hear, to him the clarions OF
the battle call.
How they call, and call. and call. till
the heart swells that hears theml
Strong soul and high endeavor. the
world needs them now. Beauty still
lies imprisoned, and iron wheels still
go over the good. the true and the
beautiful that might spring from hui

And they who fight with Ormuzd.
though they may not know each other
somewhere. sometime. will their
muster roll be called.-Henry George.

past disturbances and these new ter

they once more fell upon the unfor-
tunates and made them prisoners
again.
To the lett, across a bare ledge Of
rock which showed no trace Of It,
there led path whose presence Fred
erick had not suspected. It was down
this new passageway that the natives
now led Kitty and Count Frederick.
They passed down a steep declivity
covered with trees and at length found
their way to the lower beach, where
after a time they were Joined by 9TH
ers who cautiously had emerged from
their hiding places. 1t plainly was the
purpose of all these now to complete
the sacrifice which had been arrested
by the escape Of the victim few days
ago. They inflicted preliminary In.
dignities upon them, at least, whether
with the intention Of hurrying them
to the sacrificial fire, or Of obliging
them to interpose between the natives
and these new invaders-who, as now
all could see. also were white people
and hence to be dreaded.
Much Of these operations was eas.

The man with the binoculars saw
two figures on the beach, easily dis

around them. One was a man, and

"Refugees-castaway of some sort on

Such. indeed. was the case. The
sailor men plunged through the surf

firing as they came, with the effect
that half a dozen Of the savages fell.

had undertaken to imprison him. A
swift plan had come into his own

Of the operators room.
At the key there sat a youth, the re-
ceiyers of the equipment strapped to
his ears. The crackle and roar of the
wireless equipment. and the shoppers
on his ears, left the operator unable
to understand what was said to him;
but he comprehended very quickly the
language of the pistol muzzle which
was showed against his side-a pistol
which he did not know was empty, but
which he was quite convinced was
wholly unloyely in its look.
Count Frederick bent above him
and scribbled few words on bit Of
paper at the desk, his pistol against
the operators ribs.

SULPHUR AS A FERTILIZER
Experiments Conducted Seem to Prove
That II 10 Of the Greatest Value
to the Soil.

In parts Of France the residue from
gas works is extensively used as fer
tilizer. Analysis 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 1t, 40 per cent Of sulphur and from
l to per cent Of nitrogen, in the form
OF ammonia or its salts. Experiments
In flour OF sulphur are said to promote
the growth OF both roots and leaves
and to give to the plants deeper green
colcr than they would have without II.
Probably 1t helps to form chlorophyll.
Moreover, some of the sulphur is oxi.
died and becomes sulphate In the
soil.
In this relation. It may be pointed
out that experiments at the University
of Wisconsin have been regarded as
proving that the generally prevailing
theory that sulphur In the soil is Of
little value for promoting fertility. az
compared with phosphorus and nitro
gen, is erroneous and that sulphur is.
In fact of vast Importance. Continu-
GUS cultivation. together with INSULT.
cient fertilization, causes a large an
nual loss of sulphur which cannot be
compensated from the atmosphere. and
little is brought up by capillarity
from the subsoil. The experimenters
tharafOre racnmmnnd tho oppItco fion
of fertilizers containing sulphur to
lands which are frequently cropped.
The failure hitherto to recognize the
great value Of sulphur in the soil is
ascribed to faulty analytic methods
employed by early investigators.
