MA KINK- LIFE GIVES IliOM THE OCEAN WATERS Where ocean waters are sufficiently warm and clear, and move rapidly enough to supply the needed food, corals are busy salvaging the element calcium from the dissolved sa'.ts, .and building it into reefs or Islands „ of carbonate of lime, that may some day develop a soil covering in the.service of man, writes Dr. H. J. Wheeler hj the Rural New-Yorker. Great accumulations of carbonate of lime from such a source are the basis of the everglade'soils of the lower east coast of Florida where, with the aid of fertilizers sand mangan ese sulphate, tomatoes are raised Is great quantities for northern markets, - - / In the oceftn, at great depths, minute shell builders are also at work building oceanic ooze, that at some distant time may contribute Its quota of calcium .carbonate tp the huilding of new lands. At high er levels the familiar oysters and clams, and thousands of other hardshelled forms of marine animals, are always busily building Shells Of carbonate of lime out of the dissolved calcium salts that may have been contributed to the oceau by all ftf the landed 'areas'.of-'.the world. It is such shells as these, that have been transformed Into the world's great deposits of limestone* and marble. They have' contributed to the building of some of the richest soils of the world-- "limestone soils." TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO M. L.

KENT & COMPANY All Kinds of V* I N S U R A N C E : Placed rith the most reliable Companies How Limburger Got Name; , How It Is Manufactured Limburger cheese takes Its name from the town of Limburg In Belgibm but is widely manufactured in Germany, other northern European countries and some sections of the United States. It is made from freshly drawn and still warm cow's milk. The milk iss heated to a temperature of 94-JH5 degrees F., then curdled with rennet. The curl Is cut. partly drained and dipped into forms and allowed to drain by gravity. The cheeses are salted on the surface and placed on shelves in the curing rooms where' they are ripened at a temperature of 58-64 degrees F. Dilring the ripening period they are rubbed "and washed several times In salt water. Limburger has a smooth texture, the consistencj of butter and a strong penetrat Jng odor. It Is very digestible--and its only real drawback Is that It suffers from halitosis. TWENTY YEARS AGO Butter was declared firm at 30 cents on the Elgin board of trade on Monday.

How "Tap*" Originated It Is Impossible to say exactly when the custom of sounding a farewell note over a deceased soldier, or the firing of volleys, originated. The ancient Romans, at the burial of military citizens, gathered around the bier and called the dead three times by name, after which the word vale (farewell) was pronounced and the ceremony concluded. This would appear to be the origin pf the three salutes. Taps is the bugle call for lights out, or the last action of the day, and corresponds to the farewell. The precise call originated in the United States, but Is paralleled by the English Last Post and the Retralte of France The Volo cemetery society met ut the home of Mrs. Harry Passfield on Thursday.
