Treatment Of "siek'' Plants.

The plan of treating sick plants with
sprays of iron sulphate solution Is be-
lieved to be the solution Of serious
problem Of pineapple growers In the
Hawaiian islands, though the details
Of application are yet to be perfected.
The black surface soil near Honolulu,
over an area of 5000 to 10000 acres,
contains manganese, up to two or
three per cent, and pineapple plants
in this soil, though growing well for
time, eventually become weak and
sickly, with dropping yellow leaves.
The fruit, which develops and ripens
imperfectly, is made unpalatable by a
peculiar acidity and lack of sugar.
The investigation of NJ. o. Johnson Of
the Honolulu experiment station has
recently brought the discovery that the
manganese diOXide in the soil renders
the iron insoluble, and that, in soil
having a great abundance of iron, the
plants have failed from lack of this
element. Injections of iron sulphate
promptly restored greenness and vigor.
In field experiments, feeding iron
to the roots gave no results, but it was
found that when the leaves were wet
with copperas solution enough iron
was absorbed to supply their needs.
The flavor of the treated fruit was
equal to that of the product of the
best pineapple land.

aim should be rather to incorporate
the arts into the life Of the child, as
we already do In part. The handwOrk
Of the early school year-clay model
ing and beadwOrk, for example-and
the music the young child hears are,
together with his other activities and
experiences, of the very substance Of
his life.
When we undertake TO cultivate the
arts for our children outside of school
the most important consideration in
the selection of instructors is COM
monty considered TO be the artistic
achievement or the standing in their
crafts. But more important for our
purpose is the teachers character, his
attitude toward children. We may in
deed find a talented artist who is also
a satisfactory teacher; but the combi-
nation is extremely rare. The &C
complIshed artist is likely to see in
the pupil a potential performer or Gre
atOr, and to have little patience when
the symptoms of talent are slow to
manifest themselves. When talent is
discovered it will be time enough to
train for specialization.
Whether we provide special instruc-
ton for children or not, we can at
least put forth an effort to make the
surroundings in the home contribute as
much as possible to the cultivation Of

CRAB WAS FIRST VEGETARIAN |
Eccentric EngHIshman Met With Much
Opposition When He Started to
Spread His Ideas.

The first preacher Of vegetarianism
to gain any wide fame was Roger Grab,
an eccentric Englishman, who died 236
years ago. He fought in the parlla-
mentary army under Cromwell, and re-
ceived wound in the head, which may
have accounted for some Of his later
vagaries. After the close of the Civil
war he sold all his goods and distrib-
uted the proceeds among the poor, then
took up his residence in hut near
Ickenham, where he was said to have
lived on three farthings a week. Hav-
ing decided that it was sinful to eat
any kind of animal food, he subsisted
ON diet of bran, dock leaves, mallovs
and grass.
For dessert he had a pudding made
of bran and turnip tops chopped to-
gether. When he attempted to spread
his ideas he met with much popular
opposition. He then denounced his op-
ponents in most lurid terms, and was
ON various occasions cudgeled and put
