Black AlkalI.

Investigations have been made Of the
almost complete loss Of fertility OF
IRON 10000 to $4,000 acres In the San
Luis valley of Colorado, and this con-
dirion Is, attributed to the so-called
'black alkali." composed largely OF
sodium carbonate. This carbonate Is
carried in the waters Of the valley, in
Guiding the rivers and the artesian
wells. and the practice Of subirrigation
has brought 1t to the surface by
caplllarity and evaporation. 1t Is sug-
gested that the remedy lies in con-
version Of the carbonates into sui
pilates by the use Of liberal amount
Of gypsum-about nine pounds Of gyp-
sum to one pound Of black alkali-

freedom. She felt that once Mrs. Van
demeyer gave them the slip, the last
hope Of finding Tommy would be gone.
Tuppence was quick In her mental
processes. All these reflections passed
through her mind in fash, and she
saw where chance, very prob
lsmatical chance. lay. and she deter
eined to risk all In one supreme ef-
fort.
Accordingly, she lurched suddenly
on the bed and fell on her knees be-
fore Mrs. vandemeyer. ciutching her
skirts frantically.
