Forts Built With Natural Cement.

The volcanic island Of Santorlnl, in
the Aegean sea, produces natural
cement called ''portselana," which
mixed in certain proportions with lime
and sand is an excellent substitute for
the best cement.
'Portselana" has been used for mnny
centuries and Is stlll being used
throughout the near East In the con
structlon of bridges, harbor works,
brenkwaters, forts, lighthouses, etc,
In the Mediterranean, the Black sea,
and the Adrlatlc. With It the Vene-
tinns constructed the great fort Of
Monemyasla and Nauplla, the then
Gibraltar Of the eastern Medlter-
rnnean, the foundations of which are
In the sea, intact and lmmOvable up TO
now after many centuries. The forts
OF Crete and those Of the Dardnnelles
are also built with "portsclann."

SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable information
for Farmer In Use Of Commercial
Fertilizer.

A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made to
determine the amount OF soil plant
food removed by crops, and while
In a general way they are in
~terestlng than practically l%nstructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable information along the line
OF the use Of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show an average use by
full crops Of 80 pounds OF nitrogen, 8s
pounds Of phosphoric acid, and 70 4-i0
pounds Of potash. The husklng corn
uses more nitrogen In proportion thnn
the ensllage corn, but this Ia no doubt
due to the prolonged feeding season.

ensllage being cut In green stage.
There Is, however, quite n wide range
shown In some OF the tests, which Is
apparently due to the greater avail
ability Of the soil ingredients. For
Instance. in full crops Of both en-
sllage and husklng corn It's potash
has been shown varying from 90 to
100 pounds to the acre OF crops, while
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid main
tain their level average.

II Is n human frailty to want praise.
We begin young TO crave the approx
Ing notice OF others. There II none

OF his earliest kill. "But the jungle Ia
large, and the cub he Is small let him

up In school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol
itarily. says a writer In the Phlladel-

schoolmates In n frnme OF mind 10 put

gnrded as little tin gods ON wheels
they are lost to sight In the shuttle OF
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers Ia their opinions nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrlly.
Children OF a larger growth often
crave nm admiration which they do not
get. They think 10 draw an audience
by harplng on the theme OF self. and
they find that the audience for that
kind OF recital Is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the II"
out OF ones conversation Is not neces-
sarlly TO make Il interesting. Many
times n narrative loses greatly In plth
and pungency by the l~mpersonallty In
which II Is couched. A story OF ndvcn-
ture greatly gains by the sense OF the
frst-hnnd participation OF the narrator
In the Incidents he describes. When

there need be no apology when II Is
introduced for the glorihcatlon Of the

A man must do his work as well as

not. The taste Of publicity is likely to
be what the taste OF blood Is TO tiger

who rarely do a good deed without
rushing to nelghbor or newspaper to
let II be known. To others the free

made happy by u glowing conscious
ness that the right thing vas done, and
that dissatisfaction OF virtue is their
reward. But most of us have not
reached that lofty pinnacle whereon
w can abide serenely independent Of
what others think or say. We want q
kind word now and then to keep US
going. We hunger for appreciation,
even when w tell ourselves we nre
not worth II. Who has not known the
