PETR0GRAD POPULATION
BACK AT MILLION MARK
City Suffered Since Removal Of
Capital to Moscow.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS has come baCl
to the million population class A re
cent police census showed the city has
1,065,000 inhabitants, as compared will
100000 in 1920.
Although stlll almost dead induStri
nlly in comparison with It's wartime
status, Petrograd in general is begin
ming to come back"
During the war days petrograd had
more than 100000 people After the
bolshevik revolution the capital wa
moved to Moscow and thousands OF
government employees and factory
workmen were evacuated.
The lean and hungry years of the
revolution brought about further de-
crease in the population, many of the
people going to the country districts
where food was cheaper and more
plentiful.
Two years ago Petrograd merited
the predictions of foreign observers
that 1t would be city as dead as
Pompeil. But the last year has
brought a tremendous change. Fac
tories are being reorened, the port is
in operation, and thousands of persons
are returning to the city.
Many of them have come from Mos.
COW, which Is so overcrowded with its
2,5O0,00O people in city built for
100000, that 1t is almost impossible
to find place to sleep. In Moscow
one cannot get spacious apartment
for love or money; in Petrograd there
are many of them. And so hundreds
of Moscow business men, whose work
keeps them in the capital, have sent
their families to Petrograd where they
can live comfortably.
While it does not seem probable
that there Is any immediate chance
Of the bolshevik government moving
the capital back to Petrograd never
theless some institutions which help
to overcrowd Moscow are to be moved
to Petrograd this summer. This will
further increase the population. Bust
ness conditions In Petrograd, however,
do not seem as bright us they were
last summer.
Scores of shops closed during the
winter because of high taxation, and
the broad Nevsky Prospect presents
a-panorama of closed and suffered
stores. 1t is expected that port oper-
ations in the summer will bring about
an Improvement In business.

Deadly Tropical Spiders.

Several species of poisonous spiders
in tropical countries are so large and
formidable that the natives give thea

feared of these is the great crab spi-

kind. The strength of its legs and
talons Is phenomenal, enabling 1t to

EVOLUTION FROM ROCK
DUST TO GOOD FARM SOIL

How farm soil got its color
black, brown, red-instead of be-
ing white as the original rocks
were when crushed, is told by an
instructor in soils at the State
College of Washington over the
radio broadcaster one night. List
en- in some Monday, Wednesday
or Friday night about 900, on a
36O-meter wave length.
"ln the beginning he said,
when the little stones or rock
particles of the soil were first
formed, the soil was probably al
most white. If you grind a rock
to powder that will be light in
color even if the rock is dark. In
our great western country we find
quite often pockets of this fine
rock dust or rock -four, sometimes
called volcanic ash. This is usu-
ally very light in color and is made
up entirely or rock particles, small
stones or dust.
"But, you say, our soils are not
white. No. they are usually rath-
err dark, the color coming from the
organic matter in the soil. Where
does it come from you ask. Cen
turtles ago, in the beginning of the
world, all kinds of herbs and
grasses and trees were caused to
grow, each yielding seed after its
kind. Our present knowledge of
creation leads us to believe that
these prehistoric plants as well as
those all down through the hund-
reds of centuries of time have been
formed from the dust of the
ground by taking from that
dust the plant foods which they
have neeedd.
Nature, as we know, is a pro-
cess of continuous change. Moth
ing is permanent. Even the stones
are being slowly washed away. So
it is with these plants. After they
have grown and matured they fall
to Mother Earth, who again re-
ceiveS them AMI covers their re-
mains within her bosom. By this
process we are enabled to under
stand how, as from the dust they
have come, so to the dust they
must surely go.
"The remains of these plants
which mingle with Mother Earth
give the color to our soils. You
may be surprised when | tell you
that no more than three or four
per cent. of the soils is organic
matter. And this surprise will be
even greater when you stop to con
slider that nature has been many
hundreds of centuries placing this
material in our soils for lis.
Notwithstanding the fact that
nature has been so long a time at
it, and that this small bit of organ
ic matter is by far the most valu-
able part of the soil, MAN has re-
moved from the soil in the short
space of one farming generation
almost third of its organic mat
ter, thus robbing Mother Earth
of her heritage and at the same
time of one of her most valuable
treasures. For this organic mat
ter carries with it the soil nitro
gen, the most precious element of
plant food when measurer in
terms of dollars and cents"

San Francisco, CAL, July 3.-(By
P0-Lieutenant Laurence G. CAL
lagher of the United States Naval
Reserve and second mate on the
Standard Oil tanker Algonquin was
tortured by Japanese in Shanghai
in an effort to force him to divulge
information oncerning the United
States Navy, according to a story
related to naval authorities today.
Gallagher said that he entered q
cab driven by a Japanese and ask
ed to be taken to a certain hotel, but
the driver took him to what appear
ed to be 4 Japanese police station
in the Japanese concession. There. he
said, his naval credentials and other
papers were taken from him after
which he was questioned. He said
he had no information of value to
his questions, he said, but they re-
fused to believe him.
He asserted that they bound his
wrists with leather thongs and twist
ed them until the pain was intense.
Then, he said, he was taken before
a firing squad, where the only thing
lacking in realism was real bullets.
The squad used blank cartridges.
He finally was realized barely in
time to board his ship before she
sailed. he said. 1t was said that Gall
lagher's report would be forwarded
to Washington.

Recall Story of
German Attempt.
Disable Leviathan

New York, July 3-The story OF
German attempt to disable the Le-
viathan, then the Vaterland. on Feb
ruary g. 1917. when America APP
peared to be drifting towards war
with the Central Powers today was
recalled by the declaration of F. H.
Gibbs, Of Gibbs Brothers, who re-
conditioned the giant liner, that
damage at that time was the result
Of an accident.
Mr.. Gibbs, whose engineering COM
pany refitted the Leviathan which
sails tomorrow on her maiden voy-
age as an American passenger YES
sci, characterized as erroneous the
story circulated at the time that the
German crew Of the Vaterland de-
liberately had injured her mechan-
ism and disassembled her parts so as
to render her unfit for service as an
American transport.
Damage to the vessel, he said, had
later been found to have been the
result of a mishap in docking to the
Vaterland in her last trip to this
country under the German flag in
1914.

Sydney. N. S.. July 3.-Captain DON
aid B. acMillan, Arctic explorer. and
his picked crew of six, sailed for the
Far North tonight on the Bowdoin on
another long cruise, the primary object
of which is to determine, if possible.
whether another "ice age" is in the
process of formation. The advance of
glaciers in the last 20 years has indi-
Gated this, and Macmillan hopes to
bring back the scientific proof.
He also intends to make a further
study of terrestrial magnetism and at
mospheric electricity. His craft is
equipped with a powerful radio sending
outfit, and he will send out messages
to determine whether radio can be sent
through the northern lights.
Finishing touches to the Bowdoin's
stores for long stay in the frozen
north were completed yesterday when
Captain Macmillan and his crew made
a big catch of salmon and stored them
away in the hold.
Captain Macmillan left Wiscasset
Me-, two weeks ago for Sydney, the
| jumping point for the north seas, an
nouncirg that one of the purposes OF
his cruise was to determine whether
there is beginning another ice age
as the advance of glaciers in the last
20 years would seem to indicate.
"If 1 am not back in Sydney Harbol
| by September 1924, then 1 will remain
| in the Arctic one more year." MacMil.
l Ian said just before he cast off. He
7 will make winter quarters at Cape Sa
| bine.
Captain Macmillan took with him q
| bronze tablet which he will place al
Cape Sabine, where IS members of the
| famous Greeley expedition, back II
