WOULD FERTi-jZ1. THE AIR
Scientist Secs Immense Possibilities
In Scheme Which RE Claims Is
Quite Feasible.

Recently men have undertaken to
rial for nitrates, from the air. There
Is nitrogen enough In the air, no doubt,
ia blow civilization off the earth
we're !Aat nitrogen concocted into ex-
l|os!res.
Now comes a hopeful German sci.
enlist named Riedel, who believes
that the air itself may be fortified
to such an extent that plants win
bound forth from their seeds like ten
mis- balls. He would fill the air where
plants are, imbedded with carbon d.
oxide (carbonic acid gas). Plants
love this gas as fresh-air crank loves
the out of doors. They use It ambl
tlously, but could use more. Man
expels It with his breath. Plants take
1t up and expel oxygen, which man
Gun use. Thus men and plants are
mutually helpful But more carbon
dioxide Is always good thing for the
vegetable world, and Doctor Riedel
proposes to supply more.
He would get his supplies from the
blast furnaces, whose great lungs ex-
pei this gus An industry which uses
1000 tons Of coke per day expels 35,-
100000 meters Of gns Of which about
70 per cent is carbon dioxlde. Doc
tor Riedei has tried fertilizing the Dir
In this way. and his happy plants have
flourished amazingly.

Another Ufsccvcrer.

In an old Spanish geographical wO1n
on America published IN 1862 by Fran
cesco Lopez de Gomera, priest of
Seviua, it is mentioned that Labrador
was reached for the first time by a
party of Norwegian sailors piloted by
John Scolvus or Jon Skolp in 1915,
The announcement was made for the
first time some years ago, but it was
greeted with skepticlsm that Coiurl-
bus had been anticipated on the Amer
lean shorts by any but Left Ericsson,
but recently additional evidence has
shown that Columbus visit to this
country was antedated by Scolvus by
20 years and steps are being taken to
urge the formers claims for honora

Times certainly have chang
ed and the boys have changed
iwth them. Twenty years ago
a boy was willing to spend a
year, sometimes three, learn
ing a trade. Do you see them
doing that now? Not much.
A lad strikes you to-day, for a
job and if you suggest that he
work for a week or a month for
experience" he'll give you the
laugh. He must have wages
from the moment he dofts his
cap, and half the time he don't
even do that but loafs around
the store or shop with his hat
on the back of his head and a
pipe between his teeth. He can
get $3.50 per day washing your
windows or carrying the ash
.es from your cellar, so what is
the use Of wasting time learn
ing a trade.
There isn't a bushes S today
that isn't yearning for one of
the old-fashioned boys who vii
treat his elders with politeness
and take an interest in his work
beyond waiting for the clock
to mark UP quitting time.
It's Saturday afternoon off
ard double pay for every min
ute overtime, He doesn't
want to learn the business: he
has no ambition to own it som
has no ambition to own it some
day. He makes fun of the dull
town and hikes to the city at
every opportunity.
He can't see the dear little
girl next door who helps moth
err. but rushes to a nearby city
to chase a skirt"
The best girls on this old
earth are right here all about
him; girls that are growing up
to make true and noble women,
but he chases the Chickens"
of the city streets.
"There' is nothing to keep
him here" so he wastes his time
his money, and his strength,try
ing to be tin-horn sport, a reg
ular twelve o'clock fellow.
To greet your neighbors with
a clear eye,, and to owe no man
anything; to build a home for
the girl you went to school
with, and sit with your feet I'M
der your own table, occasional
" adding a leaf for the new
member of the family who sits
in a high-chair and puts bread
and milk into his nose and eyes
is something worth while.
Stick to mother and the girl
who smiles at you on our own
streets, and let the city skirts
that walk the streets, walk al
lone. There's nothing In chas-
Ing the chickens" \

Japanese Remain Buddhists.

That so per cent Of the japanese

by Christian propaganda. and that
American plantation owners managers
and others who have helped support

two Of the statements made by Rev,
Ulysses G. Murphy. representative of

cent address at Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy also said that the
elder generation Of Japanese living
In the plantation camps, owing to their
isolation, are forty years behind their
