"Nitrates, when they go into the
soil, are taken up by the roots OF
plants and utilized. After the plant
decays the nitrogen is given of, and
1t returns again to the atmosphere.
IF employed in the manufacture OF
explosives, when the charge is explod-
ed part of the nitrate returns to the
air as gas, while some goes into so
luton, falls to the earth and is taken
up by the plants, returning later to
the air."

Cocoa as Currency.

Cocoa passed as currency among
the natives of Central and South
America at the time of the European
conquest, and that despite a plentiful
supply of gold. Joseph Acosta, in 1910
tells us the Indians used none of
their gold or silver for traffic in or
buy withal," and unto this day the Gus.
tom continues among them that in
stead of money they use cocoa. The
Aztecs of ancient Mexico also used
cocoa as small change, as many as
5000 beans being counted legal ten
der. The value of the beans may be
judged from the fact that "a tolerably
good slave" could be purchased for 100
of them.
