H. Estabroohs St John, N.B., Toronto, Winnipey - ARTIFICIAL NITRATES. Chemist Must Supply Needs of the Farmer. The importance of nitrates in the soil and the difficulty of fixing the abundant nitro of the atmosphere in a form which can be utilized by lants, are well known. Prof. Crookes has pointed out that when the avail 5 able supply of nitrates. is exhausted Zthe chemist will have tp supply the needs of the f . lt} is interesting. therefore, to or what chemistry is doing in the mattey. That a dis- » of electricity through the air, as during a thunder /storm, causes a certain amount of oxygen and nitro- to combine is a well-known fact. This results in the production = of nitric adid, which is washed down into 'the soil. ~ | The factories which have been start- ed in Norway for the fixation of at- mospheric nitrogen afe based on this . dact. Through specially contrived * electricity being upplied by a neighboring waterfall a current of air is blown. It emerges charged with nitric acid fumes, which ara' collected .and allowed to oxidize further. The nitrous fumes are then absorbed in water towers, or passes into quicklime, nitric acid or nitrate of lime being the result. Experiment shows that the basic nitrate of lime . . thus produced 'aml known as 'Nor- ] | wogian saltpetre is as good a fertilizer i. Sahn ? as the Chilian nitrate of soda. Time Enough rst Headache From Any 'Cause--New Reduction Method. The -------------- The Precentor Awoke, A young clergyman, one day preach- ing in » chapel of case"at Edinburgh, . became unusually animated towards the conclusion of his discourse; but, all at once, as he did not use notes, and had a somewhat tregcherous me mory, he stopped short, became con- used, and seemed unable to proceed. In this dilemma he thought it : would be better to go back a little, and 'perhaps the fugitive 'passage would occur, But even this expedient new failed him, for after repeating 5 pas- sage of considerable length over again he stopped bxactly at the same point. At that point, to the great amuse- sap ment of the congregation, the precen- tor awoke from a sound sleep, and thus thinking thé sermon was at an end, rose and read out a line which hed been put in his hand hefore on- tering the church, and which he had been requested to read before praver : "Remember inl prayer a young man in great, distress of body and' mind." y: 7) Galls. . and al ? . positive in every temperament.

Man is Tncurably Religious, and Will 'Be Dealt With Religious 1y Rather Than Ecclesiastical- 1y--~Church Will Stand Fast to Social Obligations. "What is to be the religion of the next ninety years?" The Congrega- tionalist and Christian World, Bos- ton, submits = this question to ' Con, tional, Episcopalian, Metho- Comgrigutional. _Bpise denominations, blishing their answers in the form of a symposium. Naturally all, inter- pret this question as meaning : "In what direction will Christianity de- velop during the period named? The Rev. Frank Gumsaulus (Con, a- tional), president of the Armour In- stitute, Chicago, predicts that "the religion of the next ninety years will reflect the presence and influence of the scientific method." This method, he maintains, "will first of all make clear the fact, as stated by Sabatier, that 'man is incurably religious; then, with all the assumptious to: the § contrary cleared away, the church will go at the task of dealing with men religiously rather than ecclesiastical ly." The Rev. Henry 8S. Nash, of the Episcopal Theological School, Cam- idge, Mass., though protesting that prophecy, is the most gratuitous form of error, goes on to say: "The first fact, blocked out with sufficient clearness' for us to discern its nature and bearings is that con- ception of the scriptures which his- torical study is giving us.. The bands of traditional opinion having been hroken, the Old Testament is dis- closing itself to us in its true charae- ter. © . . We are ceasing to take it as a body of 'infallible teaching in the field of doctrine or of inerrant predie- tion of future events. 'The Old Testa- nent is returning into its proper con- nection with history, from which the doctrine of infallibility had detached at, "With the doctrine of infallibility goes the decline of ecclesiastical im- perialism, For, if we are to believe the Bible as infallible, we mist; in or- dér to be consistent, separate it: from all other records of human expericnce, And then, if we value logic, we must bave an infallible church to make scriptural' ivfallibility workable. But ah infallible church in its turn means a _monastitized church, a church where- in the idea of the kingdom of God, the conception of the Christian con- sciousness as a creative social 'will, cgimot be the controlling ideal. When, However, the doctrine of infallibility decays, ecclesiastical imperialism dies with it. The churches become open- minded toward one another. All of them together become open-minded to the teaching of the living God. Chris- tianity takes up its social task as a part of the work of salvation . . | Can we contemplate, without sinking of heart, the possibility of social con- ditions which doom and damn little children to misery and hopelessness ? Doom and damn them before they open. their eyes to the sun ? Can we bring ourselves to look steadily at such conditions and call ourselves Christians ? Shall we escape the terrifying situation by oiving un real faith in the kingdom of God and flee- ing to the menastery ? Or, standing fast within our social duties, shall we, by means of a quickenigg faith in the living Christ, banish both the aristocrat and the monk from the Pest society ?"' A Message Of Hope. The Rev, James R. Day (Methodist), chancellor of Syracuse University writes : Y "Ninety years from now immeasur- ably more than now the world's prac- tical religion will be the great spirit- ual and ethical truths which men in great numbers are discovering in the New Testament--that record of the truth revealed to the first Christians. Churches will be one fellowship and have their place by the efficiency with which they carry the knowledge of a religion for this world and for the next to all men--a cleansing, a burden- bearing, a hopeful religion. The work- ing, creed will be the thirteenth chap- ter of second Corinthians, which has its climax in the heart of Christ with which its closes 'Now abideth faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love." The Rev, William Clarke (Baptist), of Colgate University, is among those who believe that "the Christianity of the twentieth century must be a work- ing Christignity, devoting its intelli- gence and rhligious power to the vast and complex present problem of hu- manity." ¢ The Rev, Charles E. Jefferson (Con- gregational), pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, states that "religion is going to be what it has been, only more so." He adds, how- ever, that it will be more jubilant than it has been since the days of the apostles, The idea of the Divine Im- manence, jong working like a leaven, will go on leavening the lump of church life, bringing a new confidence and fresh courage to increasing num- bere of those who fix their minds on things which are above "Religion will also be 'increasingly altruistic. The importance of environ- ment as a factor in the growth of souls is bringing to religious men a new sense of responsibility, and out of this awakened social conscience will come movements for the redemption of our cities on a scale vaster than anv which the nineteenth century attempt- "The religions spirit, will, it is safe | 'will show in | already powerfully | thought and action, and within ninety to say, be - progressively democratic, and y form of church govemnment its' changing structure the growing power of the laity.

Looking into the time to come, the Rev. Robert F, Coyle (Presbyterian), ex:moderator of the general assembly; in the mo te of religion "s decided shifting of emphasis." "Things extraneous or unessential,'" he writes, "will. be put upon the shelf or eliminated r." This change of emphasis will be manifest in the interpretation of the Rible. To quote further : od "The stréss will 'be laid not upon adthorships, but upon essence; not up- on the literary vehicle, but upon the reightage it carries; not upon the letter, But 'upon the spirit. . . . It will be, 'seen that truth is truth, whe- ther enshrined in myth, or fable, or parable, or hisfory, or prophecy, or what vou will. , "This change of emphasis will he manifest in the ohurch, The stress will be laid upon fundamental agreements and not upon small and unimportant differences. , . . The divine fire and not the ecclesiastical candlestick will be accentuated. Denominations will grow less, the Christ of God more. The drift will be away from complexity to sim- phiaity. « +.

"You didn't say anything to me about it," said the face red with anger, "Well, you see," replied the other, "that fellow who sold her to me didn't tell me about it, and I just concluded that he didn't want it known." Dairy Cow's Ration. Here is' a 'compound where peas form a prominent part in the ration of a dairy cow, which after you have tried you will be willing to confess to he of far more value than the cost of fifty years" subscription to the Epito- mist : Take fifty pounds of corn, 200 pounds of oats and 100 pounds of peas and grind them together and you will have a very rich ration, with a ratio of 1 to 1.2. Even oats and peas grown together, which is the more us- ual way of growing them when used for the production of milk, and ground together, make a first class ~rain for that purpose. A western farmer well- known to the writer, has been plant- ing peas and oats together for years and claims an average yield, one vear with another, on his farm to be-eigh- ty bushels an acre.

Asia Minor is the principal seat of the in- dustry, In its crude state, meer- schaum is yellowish-white, and a red clay coat or skin envelops the blocks taken from the mine. These blocks bring from $35 to $200 a carload. They are soft enough to be cut with a knife. After being dried under the open sun in simmer, orf in a Warm room in winter, the blocks are sorted into grades. They are then wrapped in cotton and packed in cases for the market.
