THE VALUABLE LEAF MOLD
BY w. r. GILBERT.

This term is applied to leaves when
they are so thoroughly decayed as to
readily separate into small particles.
Leaf mold is q valuable manure in
many instances, especially on heavy
soils, and one. of the most important
ingredients for the soil used in the
successful cultivation of the majority
Of plants.
1t may be used freely, particularly
with the tender seedlings and cuttings
of soft wooded objects. provided 1t be
of good quality. and free from injuri-
Gus fungoid growths.
The production of roots in young
plants of this description is induced
and accelerated with more certainty
by planting in this material than by
the use of any other
The quality of leaf mold depends
very materially upon the sort of leaves
composing it and in the manner OF
preparation adopted.
1t Is foend from experience that the
best leaves are those collected from a
wood or other place where the priH-
cipal trees are beach and bark, and
where their leaves fall over large
area every year, and naturally decay
slowly, until those beneath the surface
become changed into light mold.
In many instances such leaf mold
cannot be obtained on account of the
necessary removal of the leaves TO pre-
serve tidinesS; but on the other hand
its Importance and additional value
over that artificiaIly prepared is not
sufficiently recognized in many places
where quantities might be obtained in
the woods.
Leaf mold of good quality may be
used To the extent of about one-third
in compostS for aZaleaS, greenhouse
rhododendrons, and many fine-rooted
hard-wooded plants of this description.
1t may also with advantage be in
corporated along with peat in the prep
aration of beds for nearly all plants
of the heath family which are grown
out of doors.
Further, nothing is better for I'm
proving the flower beds, or for adding
u sui VI any ueStiiptloh iOi pideiiS
around trees, shrubs or plants whose
roots it is desired to encourage.
If leaves have to be gathered into
heap for leaf mold, a place should
be selected where they may be spread
rather thinly, so as to avoid any eX-
cessiye heating by fermentation.
The whole. should be turned over oc-
casionally so as to expose all parts in
turn to the influence of the weather
and air.

Submarine improvements.

Since April l German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness. and render IL more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface. or
anchor themselves to the bottom; bat
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel. but prevents Its enemies from

further assistance to the submarine In

HERMIT SCULPTOR Is FOUND

There has been discovered at Cape
Scott. one of the most solitary points

He is \. f. Whittier. and he calls
himself 'prospector." Living entire

His seulpter's tools are of the simplest

the same piece of clay, which weighs
scarcely five pounds, but with that he
has modelled scores of objects.

Water may be applied artiticially
for the purpose, but it never has the
same effect as rain. and if large

Leaves should be collected free from
sticks, if possible. as these are liable
to encourage fungoid growths which,
finding suitable medium for inereas-
ing the leaf mold. will in due course
render it useless for plant cultivation.

JUDICIAL SYSTEMS ARE OLD
Men Wrangled Over Rights and
Wrongs From Time They Began
TO Live Together.

The concrete beginning of system
ICED judiciary, writes Lewis NJ. Hosea
in Case and Comment, are as old as
the tribal relation. Men quarreled
about rights and wrongs as soon as
they began to live together as Il com.
munity. and the chief of the tribe. or
the "elders," judged between claim
ants.
Indeed, at the earliest beginnings of
recorded history we find in Egypt n
judicial system, including a reviewing
power and remarkably developed ideas
of administrative justice. Judicial of
fieers in their epitaphs rest their claim
to Immortality upon having judged i'm
partially, never expressing the weak
and humble. and their mereiful regard
for the fatherless and the widow.
In the Code of Hammurabi of Baby
Ion were embodied many of the essen
tiai principles of modern justice which
were transmitted TO European peoples
through the conquests of Alexander
and the Romans. These form the
primal basis of the Roman civil law of
our English ancestors, derived through
the early tribes of northern Europe.
