Size, plumpness, uniformity in size and colour, colour and the lustre of the soed and freedom from inert malter (stems, etc.) contribute groatly to general appearance.

Therefore, the first step that should be taken in controlling or prventing washing away of the soil is to avoid this practice by cultiâ€" vating the crops across the slope, or on the contour of the land. Tropical fruits are being grown in Iceland by utilizing the hot springs. While the extent of the damage done to cultivated soils in Canada by water erosion is not as yet sufâ€" ficiently apparent to arouse pubâ€" lic opinion, there is clear evidence that a considerable amount of damâ€" age has been done by this agency of destruction states Dr. A. Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Cenâ€" tral Experimental Farm. "It is not exaggerating the case to state that on nearly all sloping cultivated land in this country, soil erosion by water has taken place. In some disâ€" tricts the appearance of yellow clay or gravel spots, the stunted and sparse vegetation on the knolls, the occasional presence of gullies, are unmistakable evidences of its deâ€" structive presence. Evidences of Destruction Are Seen On Nearly Every Cultiâ€" vated Slicping Land in Canâ€" Water Erosion The touchdown is made when a player carries the ball or receives a pass across the goal line. . It counts five. After making a touchdown, a team gets one try to score an extra point, which counts one. The point is made by kicking the ball over the crossbar, by carrying the ball over the goal line, or by catching a forward pass over the goal line. A field goal is made when a playâ€" er kicks the ball over the crossâ€" bars. It scores three. There are three chief ways of scoring â€" the touchdown, the field goal and the extra point.

Each eye produces a current averaging 1â€"1,000â€"volt, an electrical energy equal _to that of the heart beats which make the recordings of clectrocardiographs. Numerous eyes, Dr. Miles found, average 1â€"400th volt; one gave 2â€"100 volt. WHEN ATOMS EXPLODBE The extent to which we are afâ€" fccted by powerful unseen forces is indicated by studies made on the cosmic rays at the University of Manchester, England. They have detected atomic explosions which spread their debris over a span of fifteen feet, and there are indications that the effects cover greater areas. They estimate that the total energy relcase in one of the atomic explosions observed reached as high as 10.000,000,000,â€" 000,000 electron volts. EYES, ELECTRIC BATTERIES This sort of nerve block frees narcotic addicts during their first few days of abstention from the nervous shock, excitement and mental upsets that accompany withdrawal of morphine. TO CURE DRUG ADDICTS A hypodermic in the spine to make the cure of drug addicts ersv and painless is reported. The hypodermic is an anaestheâ€" ti: causing "neive block," a form ci anaesthesia often used in surgâ€" ery to render a portion of the body insensible to pain. JAWS AND DEAFNESS The American Society for the Hard of Hearing learned last week that many cases of deafness are caused by abnormal relations beâ€" tween the jaws. Repos‘tioning of the jaws, it was said, often would entirely eliminate deafness. The amount of calcium in the descendants is increased. They live longer. CALCIUM DIET FOR LONG LIFE A new secret of long lifeâ€"that it depends partly on the calcium your ancestors ate â€" was anâ€" nounced to the U. S. Academy of Sciences last week.
