BLUE BEARS BY ACCIDENT
Philadelphia Zoo Gets Rare Animals From Tfbet-Only Ones In
 America.

There arrived in New York last Feb ruary the final shipments of large wild animals, as the war has completely paralyzed the trade, of which the Ger mans controlled about 75 per cent. In this shipment were several young bears, which were sent over as Rus sian brown bears, Ursus arctos. Two of these, a male and female, were acquired by the Philadelphia Zoolog ical society. When they arrived at the gardens it was at once noticed that they were in many characteristics en- tirely different from any known va rfety of their supposed type, which rarely shows variations. On the other hand, they corresponded in every mo- ticeable particular with the Tibetan blue bear described by Blyth.
 AS the animals were still very young, it was not possible at that time to identify them, nor was it possible to ascertain where they were cap tured. Since they have been here, however, they have grown sufficiently to determine beyond reasonable doubt that they are Tibetan bears. Their most striking characteristic Is their white-tipped, blackish hair, which gives their fur hoary appearance and imparts light bluish tinge. This Is never known to occur in any other old world bears.
 And so, by the merest chance, the Philadelphia zoo made the most im- portant acquisition in years, and these two blue bears from Tibet, Ursus bruinosus, are the only specimens in the United States. As far as Is known, they are the only ones that have ever reached an American collection. Their habitat is Tibet. in the neighborhood of Llasa.

hundred tons of water Is used, whie ieh is equivalent to three and half inches of rainfall per acre Weeds also take up the available plant food, thus robbing the crops and reducing the yield.
 Soil Ventilation: A thild important benefit or thorough tillage results from the mixing of large amounts of air with the soil. Air is needed by the beneficial soil organisms such as the nftrifying bacteria which makes the nitrogen of organic matter avail able, and it promotes the growth of those bacteria which make the nitro gen of the air available to plants.
 Fall vs. Spring Breaking: When time and weather conditions permit it is better to break the ground in the fall. This leaves it in a loose condi- tion ready to absorb the winter and spring rains and prevents washing and gullyiDg Where the land is rolling the furrows should run crosswise TO the slope and should not be smoothed with harrow or drag unless cover crop is grown.
 Deep Breaking and Shallow Cultfva. tion: As rule the soils of Arkansas are not broken deep enough to secure the best results. Deep breaking re. quires the use of larger teams, but it pays because a larger amount of plant food is made available and more moisture is stored up for use in time of drought. An exception to this rule should be noted, however, in the case of light sandy soils These are al. ready too loose and deep breaking is injurious. A good average depth for breaking is six to seven inches for clay loans and clays. Very sandy soils should not be broken deeper than from three to four inches
 After the ground has been broken deeply, shallow cultivation of titled crops such as corn, cotton, or potatoes is the best rule to follow. Deep cul- tivation destroys the fine feeding roots thus retarding the growth of the plants and destroying the beneficial effects of the deep breaking.

WORD FOR WANDERER
"VAGAROND" NOT ALTOGETHER
 TO BE CONDEMNED.
Economic Problem for the Student, but Also MysteriousIy Appealing May Boast That He Calls
 No Man Mas CT.

We are apt to use the words vaga- bond and yagrant interchangeably, though there IS a degree of difference
 i'll their meaning, says the Detroit Free Press. The vagabond is a wan derer, an irresponsible person without visible means of support, preferring the open road to an occupation be- cause of an unconventional dislike to the embarrassment of possessions. The vagrant is also wanderer, but the element of viciousness enters; given opportunity he may commit a crime. We usually lump the two to- gether as tramps, hobos, Weary Will lies, and are told there are about half million of them in our country Economists complain that their main tenance costs about $100,000 1000 an- nually-only $200 apiece!-and that if they could be made wage earners they might enrich the community by about $500, 1000.
 The wanderer, now the vagabond in our nomenclature, was once quite a respectable fellow, even an honored guest. The troubadours, the travelling friars of medieval days, the ancient harpists who brought their songs and stories to castle and hall, Richard Plantagenet, the poet Villon. George Borrow, were tramps of one kind or another. History and romance abound Tn them. and we love to read of them because of our innate fellow feeling and sympathy.
 The vagabond wanders from Some where to Nowhere for love of the jour- ney. His real reason is that he cannot help it, having more wanderlust in his blood than has fallen to the share of the majority. After all, he merely gratifies to an unusual extent A primal instinct which centuries of conyen- tions have not subdued in humanity. He casts off the limitations of ciyiliza- tion because they cost him more than he is willing to pay He will pay meagerly and sleep uncomfortably that he may be free. No one owns him; he calls no man master; he is indifferent to responsibility. And who among us has not felt a pas s1onate desire at times to snap the chains that bind and chafe, and live our lives as we wish? In spite of our respect for the exemplary virtues we recognize the charm of irrespon- sibility.
 We like the vagabond in fiction even if we scorn him at our hack doors. and regard him gravely as an economic problem. The tramp is more. honest than most of Us; he despises

Motorcyclist Riding Nightmare.

c. H. Sargent, a motorcycle racer of Indianapolis, suffered a broken leg in a race at Vincennes, Labor day, and was in the hospital there for sev- eral weeks.
 He had bad night shortly after be. ing taken to the hospital. The ward was quiet when the whole hospital was startled by hearing Sargent yell Hold her, Newt, hold her!" catch saying among motorcyelists when a machine seems to be going too fast for the rider
 One of the intcrnes came rushing in, fearful that Sargent would fall out of bed. When he reached Sargent the latter was lying comfortably with a rather foolish look on his face.
 Did you call?" asked the interne.

be stunted
 A good seed bed is deep. but not too loose. Land broken in the fall
 and left in the furrow over winter can be prepared for seeding by a thorough disking followed by a har. row, but if cover crop has been
 grown it should be broken again as early as possible in the spring. This fs especially true if the cover crop .s pastured. A roller seldom benefits heavy soils except when large amount of organic matter such as ma nure or green crop has been turned under just short time before seed, ing.
 Storing and Conserving Moisture: The water which falls upon the soil in the form of rain may be lost by running off from the surface, by evap- oration from the soil, by transpiratIon through the leaves of weeds, or by percolation into the lower strata be- low the reach of plant roots Loss by the first three processes can be materially reduced by proper tillage
 When the land has been deeply broken the rain enters into it readily and Is held there, but when the soil Is hard and compact most of the wa. ter runs off into the stream channels, where it is of no use to crops. Not only is the water thus lost which might have been used for future use, but the water running off the land washes away the richest part of the soil and causes gullies to form, thus rendering tillage operations more diff, ficult. After rain the surface soIl soon dries out by the evaporation of the water If the soil is compact. moisture is continually being drawn up from below by capillarity and evap- orated from the surface. But if the top is stirred, a loose earth mulch Ia formed which breaks up capillarity and reduces the loss.
 Weeds. however, cause the greatest loaa of rnointnre from the soil. Tn the growth of one ton of weeds about four

work and scorns the tasks we would
 impose on him. Most of us pretend to like it and sing it's praises. He is, moreover, a mysteriously appealing figure: there is something almost heroic in his contempt of what other men so prize, and we wonder, if we pause to think of him at all, what is his story, what woman remembers him and longs for news of him. There is always at least one-his mother.
