The BRIDGE of Bojls.

Among the many works carried out
by the late Sir John Arid is the most
oddly named bridge in the world. This
is in Peru, on the railway from Lima
to Oroya. spanning a deep and precipi-
tous chasm over 600 feet wide and
resting on three gigantic piers.
Many of the men employed on the
work were ex-sailors, whose training
enabled them to work at dizzy heights.
Although the work was necessarily Of
a most dangerous character, there
were comparatively few accidents.
But an epidemic Of bubonic plague
broke out. So the bridge was officially
christened Puente de las Verrugas, or
Bridge of Boils. a name which it still
retains.-Exchange.

The Two-thirds Rule.

At the first Democratic convention a
committee appointed to prepare the
rules recommended that two-thirds OF
the whole number Of votes of the con-
Vention should be necessary to consti-
tute a choice in making nominations.
At every national convention since that
time this has been reafIirmed as the
law Of the Democratic party. In 1896
an attempt was made to repeal the
rule. In fact, the effort was success

210, but upon reconsideration the rule
was put IN force. Martin Van Buren,

LEGATION of this bulletin have failed to
show that ground feldspur is of any
general value for fertilizer purposes.

The application of ground feldspur
therefore, in most instances means
merely the addition of an ingredient
already present in the soil in consid-
cradle quantity. Many processes for
rendering the potash in feldspar av-
ailable have been proposed, but to be
commercially successful under norm
al conditions market must be found
for the by-product, and up to the
present time no satisfactory solution
Of this problem has been reached
There are numerous substances the
application of which to soils will,
under certain conditions and with
particular soils bring about increased
crop yields. Ground feldspar may be
included in this class. However, the
cases where increased yields result
from the application of these SUBJ
stances are so rare and the conditions
under which increased yields may be
expected are so little understood that
their use as fertilizer materials in
general cannot be recommended.
The Department has recently re-
ce'ved many requests for copies of
Bulletin 104 and many inquiries with
reference to the use of feldspar as a
fertilizer. The farmers of the coun-
try should be warned that the De-
partment does not recommend such a
practice and that the expenditure of
money for ground feldspur as a sub
stitute for potash for fertilizer pur-
poses will probably not result in
and commensurate increase in crop
yields.

FELDSPARROCK FOR
FERTILIZER COMES

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
Wide publicity has recently been
given to statement advocating the
use of ground feldspar as a substi-
tute for potash salts and referring to
L. S. Department of Agriculture Bull
lctin No 1O4 as authority for the pro-
posed practice.
Bulletin 104. entitled THE Use of
Feldspar Rocks as Fertilizer" was
published in 1907. This bulletin dis
cussed the use of finely ground field
spar as a possible substitute for pot.
ash for fertilizer purposes, and was
based upon series of experiments
conducted by the Department. The
results reached were inconclusively,
as the following quotation from the
bulletin itself will show:
"A careful reading of the foregoing
pages will show that no claim has
been made that ground feldspar is an
efficient substitute under all circum-
stances for potash salts. The
question is still open, and systematic
ard long continued experimentation
is the only possible method of OBJ
tanning conclusive information on the
subject. At the present
stage of the investigation it would be
extremely unwise for anyone to at
tempt to use ground rock except on
an experimental scale that would not
entail great financial loss.
