CANNOT EXHAUST THE AIR
Scientific Explanation as to Why
Lack Of Nitrogen Need Not Be
Matter Of Dread.

A student at the University of Wash
ington, having read about making nj
trogen from the air, entered the chem
istry department and asked the pro-
fessors there what would happen
when all the nitrogen had been taken
out of the air. The University of
Washington Newsletter says that
this is what they told him:
"The atmosphere over a square mile
of land is estimated to contain 20,00O,-
900 tons of nitrogen, which is enough
to furnish all the world would require
for fifty years at the present rate Of
consumption. Even If that were not
so, there would be no danger, for
there's sort of dust to dust process
involved that is safeguard in itself.
''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
It returns again to the atmosphere.

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

Roman London lies buried about
eighteen feet below the level OF
Cheapside. In nearly all parts of the
city there have been discovered tes-
sellated pavements, Roman tOmbs,
lamps, vases, sandals, keys, ornaments,
weapons, coins and statues of the
Roman gods. When, little over a
century ago, deep sections were made
for the sewers in Lombard street, the
lowest stratum was found to consist
of tessellated pavements. Many col.
ored dice were found lying scattered
about, and above this stratum was
thick layer of wood ashes, suggesting
the debris of charred wooden build
ings. While building the Exchange
Workmen came upon gravel pit full
of oyster shells, bones of cattle, old
sandals and shattered pottery, says
London Chronicle. Two pavements
were dug up under the French church
in Threadneedle street, and other pave
ments have been cut through in sew.

Some time ago a bottle Of ancient

It appears that this ancient bottle ia

there is far older wine, or rather

The mythology of dragons (may the

lecture that the dragon idea was de-
veloped from some tradition of an ex'
tinct saurian seems probable enough,
says London Chronicle. In the highly
imaginative gypsy lore of southeast
ern Europe, the 'drakos" becomes the
ogre of the nursery; he takes human
wife, hunts, is an expert in horsefesh,
and lives, of course, in a palace. An.
drew Lang pointed out that the mod.
ern Greek story of "the last drakos' is
the same as that told in Scotland OF
'the last Pict."

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.

SOME DEFINITIONS OF LIFE

over the fire, when the late Lord Ron

end, how he regarded the life of tri-
umph. And then, characteristically
enough, smoking a cigarette which he
had Just accepted, the statesman said,
IT have not smoked since you were

Life" Lord Beaconsfeld said to me
that last time was with him at Hugh
enden (wrote Lord Ronald after
wards), 'life is an ennui, or an anx-

saying that for the self-made life is
full of troubles and anxieties, for fear
of losing the position or the wealth
they have obtained; and for those
born with position and wealth there
is nothing to strive for, and life then
becomes a mere bore, an ennui, and
burden. "My idea,"' he added, "of a
happy future state is one of those long
midsummer days when one dimes at
nine o'clock" Lord Beaconsf1eld had
left out the majority of mankind, those
who cannot afford either to be anxious
or to be bored, and, indeed, in that
halfway state 1 believe the truest
earthly happiness exists.

A contemporary speaks of cryolite as
Greenland's one export. Cryolite is
used in manufacturing Opaque glass,
for enameling iron ware, and in the
fuxes for electrolytic aluminium and
white Portland cement. But there are
other natural resources in Greenland
which will be exploited some day. It
will be long time before industrial
development takes advantage of all
the opportunities on the planet, and
while vast areas of land lie waste it
will be silly to exclaim that the world
