DLANTS breathe with their feet as we'll as
l. with their hands, and there is oxygen
enough in good garden soil for their
needs. These are discoveries of Prof Bur-
ton E. Livingston, of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versty, and DR.. Lee M. Hutchins, of the
United States department of agriculture,
working in the formers laboratory of plant
physiology, in Baltimore.
Earlier work by these men and by other
scientists had already established the fact
that plants must get their oxygen through
their roots we'll as through their leaves
and that air taken in through the top of
the plant does the roots little or no good in
most species. 1t has, of course, been long
observed that many kinds of plants drown
when they stand for considerable period of
time in flooded land, even though their tops
may be above the water. This drowning
of plant is exactly like the drowning of a
man: both die of suffocation, lack of oxy-
gen. That the plant has its head above
water does it no good; it has lungs or
circulatory system to pass the air down to
its roots, and if they not get oxygen
from the soil they not get it at ALL
Livingston and Hutchins then proceeded to
develop a most ingenious method for meas
uring how much oxygen the soil can supply
in a given time. A cone-shaped filter of thin
porous porcelain is sunk into the soil to be
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1924-09-16

studied and allowed to remain until the
earth settles around it. Then nitrogen, from
which the last trace of oxygen has been eX-
tracted is fed slowly through from storage
tank, and as it passes out again is run
through a sikytu solution Of pyrogallol, a
chemical that turns brown in the presence
of oxygen, and can be used to measure the
amount that has come in through the walls
of the filter.
By this method it was found that three
factors influence the rate at which oxygen
can pass through the soil to the roots of
plants. Tightly packed soils can supply little
oxygen, while well-cultivated soils pass it
through easily. The rate of supply depends
also on the amount of water present: the
more nearly water-logged the soil the lower
the rate of oxygen movement. Finally, the
deeper the soil level the slower is the rate
of supply.
The natural distribution of plants is gov
erned at least in part by the amount of oxy-
gen their roots need. Plants of wet habi-
tats, like rice, willows and cattails, require
little oxygen for their roots; corn, potatoes
and other crops of well-cultivated lands re-
quire great deal. Ordinary forest trees for
the most part occupy an intermediate posi-
ton. It is expected that the new method
will in time yield data of great value in
botany, agriculture and forestry.-Science

SOME HOMEMADE SAINTS
BY DR.. Frank Crane

IN HERE are some saints who are not of
the calendar.
They perform no miracles but the
miracles of love and gentleness, for which
the world is ahungered and athirst.
Their shrnes are not in the proud cathe-
drals, but in human hearts; happy thoughts
are the candles burning before their affairs;
tender memories are the votve offerings
made there, and shame for our littleness and
resolves to be nobler the incense that
fills the air of the place
There is ST Jim, the Sunny; he doesn't
amount to much, but could spare a lot
of useful people rather than him, with his
stubborn good humor.
And st. Lizzie, who sweeps in the corners
And st, Carrie, who picks up after every
body.
And st. Ted, who, though he is but nine
years old, is careful of his mother, cleans
the snow from the back porch for her,
brings in wood and water and looks after
her in all ways
And st. Sally the grandmother, who has
the heavens gift of smoothing out misun-
derstandings, untangling family knots, and
making crooked tempers work together
And st. Bill the whistler, who carries the
evening paper and pipes cheer into many
listener.
And st. Mary Jane, who makes hot bis
cult and wonderful bendy sugar cookies, and
laughs when the children rob her.
And st. Gertrude, who will not drive her
husband into the back yard to smoke, but
sets him by the fire in her best room and
says she likes the smell of pipe land like
as with my Uncle Toby when he hears this
little fb the recording angel always coughs
and pretends he did not hear)
And st. Henry, who really thinks his wife
is the most beautiful woman in the world,
and the sweetest of angels, although she is
a most distressing person.
And st. Ralph, who never comes home
without something-peanuts or gum drops or
a red apple---in his pocket for the small
house bandits to pillage.
And st. Walter, who is bullet proof to
1.-The sings and arrows of outrageous for
tune and takes all the buffets Of fate upon
his shield of Never Mind"
And ST. Charlie, who gives his wife an al
lowance so that she will never have to ask
for money
And st. John, who, though he be a beard
ed father, plays marbles of nights with the
boys upon the dining room floor and goes
fishing with them in summer.
And st. Martha, who dresses for her hus-
band and household carefully as for COM
pany.
And st. Bess, who has a dozen babies, is
glad because of every one of them and would
rather mother them than wear diamonds at
the opera.
And St. Alice who is endowed by fate
with the marvellous faculty of getting along
with everybody.
And ST. Lie, whom every one imposes
upon, and who likes it, and seems to seek
for opportunities to do everything for every
body.
And st. May. who is an invalid, but whom
no one has ever heard complain.
And St Ella, who never repeats scandal.

own. She had no scruples about selling an
opportunity whenever it presented ITSELF and
if Rolf and Gloria were going to separate,
she might have chance to step into Glorias
shoes. -
OF late her popularity had begun to wane.
Possessed of nothing but an unlimited
amount of nerve and undoubted good looks,
she lacked sincere talent. The public had
begun to tire of vamp pictures, and in
straight role Vera had proved quite coorless.
AS she argued to herself, she needed some
thing to put her her feet again.
Little cat" ground out Vera under her
breath but she was careful not to show her
feelings, and there was just the right amount
of friendly solicitation in her manner as she
bent over Rolf, holding his glance for long
moment and smiling elusively.
She had decided to affect an air of mys-
terry, and she sat now slightly aloof from the
others. Some one handed her cup of tea,

she was drinking the rotten stuff and why
there weren't any cocktails Rolf always had

be like to have Rolf make love to her, and

to have love affair with Rolf Besides, he
could do a great deal for her.
Listening idly to the conversation drifting
about, Vera saw that every one was carefully
avoiding the mention of Glorias name. She

The blessed woman who was the teacher,
long since departed this life, said to me:
"Why, Mrs. FELTON,, it astonished me that
those pupils did not know enough and read
newspapers in the home, to answer that
question" All the general public knows
from Washington City is gathered from the
newspapers.

say that America might have allowed volun-

His mercy and protection of our country.
These children must become the voters in
our country after we are still, dead, buried

Or the oIden time the parents paid the
| teacher and the parents had some say-so
~ as to what the children were taught at
the schoohouse. | looked over the many
books that a child brought home the other
day after he had been given a slip from the
teacher to secure books at the popular book
store. That child had sufficient literature
for reading lessons to serve a half-dozen
children, and yet that child, which had been
attending a public school for four years,
couldn't read page in the reading books
that could be heard with any satisfaction
whatever. He was duller as to reading
than children of the long ago at seven and
eight years. The basic foundation of all edu-
cation in books is in careful spelling, careful
writing and continual exercise in reading.
When person can spell his words out and
write in plain hand on the blackboard the
spelling book words, he has made a long
step forward
After he write we'll, read we'll and is
given the rudimentary principles in arithme-
tic he almost educate himself, if he has
any desire for learning whatever. I occa-
siOnally see some writing by high school pu-
pills and | am panied to witness the bad
spelling. Once | was called on to write a
letter to a big city superintendent indorsing
for teachers place, and the spelling was SO
poor that [ was ashamed for the applicant.
Sometimes the people who write letters say
Il am such poor speler." 1t may be lazi-
ness or InulHerenCe, Dut II does not LOOK
good.
In my younger days my good teacher used
the blackboard extensively and we did a lot
of our spelling with the chalk pencil. We
did great deal of our writing the same way,
to test us as to our ability to compose and
write decent letter to the folks at home,
especially if any of us were at boarding
school and expected to write home.
My best education in mathematics was
acquired at the blackboard with no book in
my hand to- look at, and, the rule being
memorized, I was expected to do the sums
understandingly. He did not call the name
of the poor scholar who made a mess of a
letter in it's mail direction, but he made the
entire class room walk to the blackboard
and address letter. on the outside, to the
parents or guardians at home. The grown
girls as well the small ones were thus
tested
The school books of today seem to me
very inadequate. Fairy tales and Mother
