OF DEEP HISTORIC INTEREST
Possibility OF Recovery Of King Johns
Lost Treasures Causes Some
Stir in England.

Tie idea of>makng use Of the cleo
trio apparatus used in locating ores to
discGver>King Johns lost treasure has
been put forward by Capt. Hugh Pol
lard In an English paper. He recalls
the fact that, several years ago. Sir
William Hope Informed the Society of
Antiquities that the ford of the Wash
where the treasure was lost in the
thirteenth century was reclaimed in
the seventeenth, and that the land lies
between Walpole and Long Sutton in
Lincolnshire. Now this treasure Of
King Johns Is Of extraordinary inter
est. Not only did It contain loot from
half the castles and churches Of Eng
land and Johns own jewels, but the
crown Of King Alfred as we'll At the
close of the seventeenth century King
Alfred's jewel, now in the AshmolenD
museum, was found some distance
Somersetshire. The gem Is made Of
pure gold and contains colored stones
covered by thick crystal, through
which Is seen the miniature of a man
clothed in n green Saxon tunlc. 1t is
formed Of enameled mosaic on blue
ground. The man Is seated on throne
with crown on his head and holds Il
feur5de-lis in each hand. Round the
edge are the words in AngloSaxOn ::
alfred had me worked" Some say
the figure represents Alfred himself
IF so, perhaps the crown which the
gem depicts Is the one which the ele.
ments wrenched from the unworthy
hands Of John all that long time ago
and the one which, 1t is to be hoped,
the twentieth century will recover.

The Relative Action of Each in
Improving the Chemical and
Mechanical Conditions of Soils.
Assists in Decomposition of Or
ganic Matter for Humus Sup
ply.
Makes Heavy Soils More crumbly and
Friabie for Better Root
Penetration.

The actions Of lime on soils are
many fold. 1t is the common impress
sion among many that it is Of value
only on low wet land which is common
ly assumed to be sour. Many persons
realize that soils become sour under
cultivation and that lime corrects
acidity, but there are few who really
realize the Importance of it's use or
the relative value of the different
forms and the action Of each. On the
other hand, many farmers buy what
ever may be had without full conSid-
GRAFTON of the relative value of the diff
ferent materials that pay lie applied.
Lime is u plant food, and in many
cases its application may serve that
Junction. Generally soils contain
enough calcium to supply the require
mentS of crops, but alfalfa and other
closely related crops require not only
Il sweet soil, but enough lime to sup
ply their large needs of that element.
The indirect actions of lime are even
greater than its effects as food.
These effects are numerous and are
not the same on all soils. In heavy
condition and the capacity to take up
and hold moisture. 1t acts upon the
supply Of plant food stored in the soil
and assists the decomposition of or
ganic matter and mineral substances.
Most important Of all is the influence
which lime eXerts upon the micro
ScOpic life of the soil, so essential in
changing dormant to active forms Of
plant food.
The mechanical effects Of lime are
intricate in nature and less well un.
THEOLOGICAL effects, and yet they are
very important, though they are not
so easily measured.
Burned lines are more effective in
this change than carbonate Cline
stone) forms. Every farmer who has
used burned, hydrated or prepared
slaked lime has undoubtedly noticed
that heavy soils become less sticky,
more crumbly, more friable, more easL
ly cultivated, and water passes through
them more rapidly as result of in
creased porosity. They dry out more
readily after rain, and in spring,
blowing or planting is advanced. This
condition is brought about by the foe
culation or aggregation Of the fine clay
particles.
Upon light soils the reverse Is true.
Through the improved condition of tho
humus in the soil an application OF
lime increases the cohesive power OF
the soil, resulting in greater water
holding capacity, as well as an increas-
ed power to absorb moisture from be.
low by capillarity. While the reasons
are not clear, 1t is common experience
that limestone is not as effective In
producing these physical effects on the
soil as is line Relatively small ap-
plcations of lime may produce very
marked changein the character of the
soil. These physical effects are merely
supplemental to the chemical and bio.
logical effects produced by lime, and
when all these are taken together they
account for the very general beneficial
results derived from the use of lime.

PRICE OF ANTHRACITE
UP 10 CENTS A TON
Still Another Increase Announced
4 by Washington Fuel Dealers,
L Who Blame Mine Operators.

An increase of 10 cents a ton in the
retail price of anthracite coal, effec-
= tive September 1, is announced by
Washington fuel dealers. who say this
increase in price is necessary because
operators in the Pennsylvania fields
have added 50 cents ton to the
wholesale price. beginning the first of
this month. Retail prices now range
from S1O.5O to S12.75 a ton. according
to size of coal.
From Philadelphia comes word that
retail anthracite coal merchants have
cents a ton on all anthracite shipped
after September /.
Washington dealers interviewed to-
day say they do not expect to make
another advance in the retail prices
before the 1st of October. One dealer
said there may not be new advance
for several months unless freight
rates increase.
Another dealer declared the oper
ators are Couging the retailers, and
cited as an example 65-cent-per-ton
advance on wholesale anthracite
prices August /. This advance re-
suited in a 10-cent retail increase. he
said. And, further.
tits an outrage that the retailers
and consumers have to endure this.
I'd like 10 show the congressional

BRITISH Miners ASK

Little doubt exists that the congress
will respond with resolution favor

it is on record through long stretch

cally every other industry: but, as

SIR WILLIAM TYRRELL COMING

Sir William at once came forward
and volunteered to accept the com
paratively humble position of private
secretary after having filled one of

the considerable sacrifice in position
in the name of friendship.
Sir William Tyrrell, according to
Col. Thwaites. is considered one of
the ablest diplomats in England. He
visited the United States in 1913 on
special mission after relations be-
tween Great Britain and this country
had become strained because of affairs
in Mexico. After conferences with
President Wilson. it was announced
that complete harmony between the
two countries had been restored. Aft
er his return home Sir William eX-
pressed great admiration for the
