Blair, soil chemist of the New Jersey agrlcul tural experiment station at Uutgers university. 'These green manure crop" also prevent water and wind erosion and add atmospheric nitrogen, he says. There are various Reasons why soils become atid, Professor Blair says. In regions where the rainfall is heavy, basic materials such as lime, rtiag nesia, potash and soda are washed out <>f the soil more rapidly than the acidicmaterials, and the tendency^ there , fore, is in the direction of an acid con dition". Secondly, where sulphur is Used In the s(*ray materials, much ol it finally reaphes the ground under and abound the trees. This gradual} oxidizes to sulphuric-acid, which Is a strong mineral acid. „ A third reason is that certain fertilizer materials leave an acid residue in the soil, md if these materials are used year after year 'there Is finally an acid acCviinnla tlon which is quite sure t<J become harmful. For correcting' acid soils, lime .has been found to be the most economical material. -JWiuie nmtetials Vary-In composition and ^ therefore niecessji fy to, ^iio.w> »tbe. analyses a#d the eost pert&n beforeone can compare values, Why Name Portland Was ' . First Applied to' (dement The name Portland, was first applied to a cement made In 1824 by John Aspdin, a bricklayer of Leeds, Kng land, who mixed clay and lime In deft nitej-proportions, burned them In a kiln, and pulverized tl 1 resulting mass He called his product Portland cemVt^t because concrete made from it some .what resembled Portland stone, a fa mous building limestone from the isle or peninsula of Portland on the coast of Dorsetshire. . - Aspdin, however, was not the- first to make the comparison." More thai* fifty years earlier John Smeaton had stated that cement made of such ma terials would "equal the best meV chantahle Portland stone in solidity and durability." The cement made by Aspdin was not clinkered, but merely .calcined, while now Portland cement is made by burning a natural Qr artificial mixture of clay and lime to a clinkering temperature and then grind ing the clinked.--Indianapolis News. Why Winnipeg Wat So Named Winnipeg and Manitoba are both Indian names. "Manito-baw" is said to be Ojibwa.v for "the strait of the manito or spirit." The Capital of Manitoba took its name from Lake Winnipeg; whose muddy colored wa ter accounts for Its Oree appellation "win" meaning dirty apd "nlpi," water. The Indians have a legend which tells of a deity being taken prisoner by an enraged squaw. She besmeared the god so with uiud that It took the whole of Lake Winnipeg to wash It off and the spiteful Indian deity has kept himself busy ever since stirring up the impurities. Winnipeg used to be called Fort Garry. It was named aft er Nicholas Garry,' a Hudson's ba.v company's partner. Garry came out from England in 1821 to complete ar rangemeuts for the amalgamation ol the two fur companiei whose men had, for half a century, been Inveterate enemies. HOW EARLY PpNY EXPRESS GOT INTO OCR MAIL IIISTORY.-- On April 3, 1SJT0, nmld the bopni of cannon and the shouts of the people in holiday garb, two horseback riders, Johnny Frey ^and Harry lloff, took off, one from St. Joseph, Mo„ and the .other from Sacramento, Calif., in the start of what Is undoubtedly the most romantic mall carrying episode In all history. , ' For on "this day these riders began the famous Pony Express which for nineteen months was to fill contemporary news accounts with deeds of daring and almost unbelievable feats of horsemanship In regularly covering 1.966 miles over prairie waste, through Indian country, over mon^ins and desert In from eight to tjib days. Rain or shine, winter or summer, these relays of the pick -. of. the plains horsemen on the best horses money could buy raced against time and maintained their schedule almost tb the hour. Neither, tbe~*eathei^ noi* - hostile Indians could stop them. They eas Uy outran the scrawny: Indian ponies in the open country and traveled So fftst ambushes in the. mountains were of little avail. •.The weather they took as a matter of course. If a rider found no relief at the end of his hundred' miles, he kept oh going and then doubled baek. several instances being re corded of a single horseman covering nearly fourt hundred miles, stopping only; to change mounts. And all of this with the loss of only one mail In the 150 trips made. How to Acquire Sunbrown Without Painful Burning Do the job of acquiring your sum roer tan intelligently. Repeated measurements have shown that If^the time necessary to impart to the skin a per ceptible reddening is 20 minutes, ten minutes extension of that time on the first day will produce a severe burn. When you take your first sun' bath, watch for this redness to develop. A* soon as it appears, cover your skin, advises Dr. Walter H. Eddy liS o<"1 Housekeeping. That day's bath should end. If you are ! one of those for tunate persons who possess adequate pigment cells, these, foyowing that period of redness, will get to work to prepare you for the next day. The pivr merit will spread over the reddened area and form a screen. On the next day watch for the red again. You will find It a little longer in appearing Again stop the bath when it comes. Follow this routine, and in a week or so you will have acquired so bean tlful a blanket of brown that'-exposure can be prolonged for hours without evil effects. / % '•** V "V Told Items of Interest Taken From the Files of the Plaindealsr • of Yesrs Ago, \ of the M.

Wky Printers Hm "Cktptli^ In England the word chapel was ap plied to a printing office, also to a meeting or association of Journeymen of a printing office for promoting and enforcing; order among themselves and for settling disputes. These meetings were presided over by a "father of the chape^l." The term is said to have originated In the fact that printing was first carried on In England by Caxtou in a chapel attached to or near Westminster abbey. It was custom ary at that time to do the work of printing In chapels attached to abbeys It. Holme, in 16S8, says: "Every prlftt ing house is termed a chapel." Why Brown Sug»r Cost* Mora The reason that brown sugar la more expensive than white sugar is one oi the paradoxes of modem industrial growth. Originally brown sugar wa* cheaper than white sugar because it represented a much lower state of refinement. Nowadays, however, th.»* "vast majority of all sugar produced in tills country is white sugar, so thai It has become more Involved and ex. ^pensive to halt the process of refineinent for brown sugjir than to com .plete the process for white sugar, as is done in most cases. * J.

In the Twelfth century there flourished In Germany the Hanseatlc league comprising certain free towns frbich issued their own money.
