The proprietor OF Rumanian cafe
near Cooper Union has brother who
came from Constantinople a few weeks
ago. Having only a slight knowledge
Il printCl English and finding few
persons who could speak fluent
French, he mitigated the loneliness
of homesiclx weeks by attending each
night film show where he studies
the customs of the country as pre-
sented on the screen and puzzled out
as much as he was able of the titles,
using the picture as a sort of ami
mated "transl. ton pony"
Then he began to read the titles
announced outside the picture houses
One day he came in to dinner quite
p.eased with his progress in English
and much edited by good show he
ad seen.
Well. I know few Americans

Project TO TEST
EFFECTS Of RAINFALL
University of illinois Soil Bins
Will Show Results Of
leaching.

Sixteen "soil bins constructed at
the University of Illinois are being
used in studying the effects of rain on
soil. Each bin Is built OF concrete and
is one rod square by eight feet deep.
The soil with which the bins are filled
was removed from the natural earth
In consecutive layers and placed in
the bins In its natural order.
Rainwater passing through the soil
In the bins finds it's outlet at the base
In a tunnel below the water from each
bin runs into individual tanks and an
analysis of the water collected shows
what effect the rainfall has had. Other
methods of arranging soil are used
to furnish data for other problems.
Through these experiments 1t Is
hoped to find whether rainfall carries
off any of the chief soil elements
Just now the bins are planted to n
four-year crop rotation consisting OF
wheat, corn, oats and clover. In q
few years the university expects tc
give the world the most complete So
luton of what is going on in tbs
