Washington, Sept. 20. The most Im portant subject discussed at the meet ing of the Association of Official Agri cultural Chemists in Washington was a new discovery, which may be fairly termed sensational. 'Phis discovery relates to a species of microbe which uctually mukes plants grow. In it has been found the mysterious agent by whose aid all things vegetable ure en abled to absorb nitrogen, which Is their chief food. Without Its assistance plant life would disappear entirely from the earth, and In consequence ani mal lire. Including mankind, would per ish likewise. Yet this beneficent micro organism Is so small that It can only be seen when magnified S00 diameters. It is a bacterium aud u micrococcus that Is to say, shaped like a little ball. An experiment is now being made in the breeding of these microbes by Pro fessor Wiley, of the chemistry divi sion of the department of agriculture. They multiply at an enormous rule when f utilised with proper food, and to produce them ill indefinite quantity Is easy. Their business In life Is to ab sorb nitrogen from the- soil and from the air and to transform It Into nitric acid. In this shape It Is taken up by the tissues of the plants, which are not able to consume the nitrogen in the crude. Recently a trial was made with a field of several acres In Florida, on which nothing would frrow. Analysis proved that the soil was very rich In nitrogen, but none of the micrococci were present. So a small amount of stable manure was applied thinly to the surface of the ground, and lo! a wonderful cron was the result. The secret of It was that stable ma nure Is full of these peculiar bacteria. The later went to work at once upon the nitrogen lying Idle in the hitherto barren soli and transformed it into available plant food. It has long been known that stable manure contained very little plant food, and so, until now. its great efficiency as a fertilizer has been a mystery. The day may yet ar rive when the farmer will aoply a so lutlon (f microbes Instead of a fertll izer to ms sou. odviousiv. such a method would only be tried In cases where tne bacteria were found to be acKing. Without the heln of microbes of this species plants will die In the richest soil Wrlth their assistance certain kinds of plants are able to absorb and utilise the nitrogen In the atmosphere. This in most part!cularly true of the peas. Deans, clover and other leguminous plants. Farmers have long: known that there was no better way to enrich a neia man to plant it with clover, or beans, or peas. The reason why Is simply that micro-organisms of the sort described infest these slants in great numuers. Living in tne rootlets, they ply the trade of agricultural chemists on a small scale, but most efficiently. Their colonies are marked by little ex crescences or pimples on the roots. They are' manufacturers of nitric acid. They do not live in the roots of cereals hence the desirability of rotating corn with clover. In furnishing nitrogen to the soil the farmer Is supplying stuff for the microbes to work on. It has been stat ed ulready that nitrogen is the most valuable of plant foods. It is ulso the most expensive, costing from 16 to IS cents a pound. Sometimes It Is applied to the land In the shape of wasto from packing establishments and abattoirs scraps of Intestines, etc., which are boiled to get out the oil and finally dried end ground. At the slaughter house nothing Is wasted. Kvery drop of blood is saved, to be dried anil ground. Dried blood is the best of all materials for yielding nitrogen. It may be said In a rough way that nitrogen makes the flesh of plants, while phosphoric acid makes the fat. i Reynolds Bros., Hotel Jermyn, Wy oming avenue. English Capital for American Invest ments.

Speaker Reed's determination to keep down .appropriations is liable to lose him more-votes for the presidential nomina tion than it will make him. It Is said that he favors a big cut all along the line in river and harbor appropriations. This Is where Speaker Reed will antagonize nl.ie out of every ten members of congress. A member who represents a district which hasn't a river, harbor or mud pond and which doesn't want an appropriation is a genuine curiosity. The river and harbor bill is the barrel from which every mem ber expects to pull a slice of pork. When they fall to get any other kind of an ap propriation for their districts they intro duce a bill for the improvement of some river, creek or tad-pole pond. In a ma jority of cases It Is a cold steal. Borne of the stream for which appropriations are asked are no more apt to be made naviga ble than the Lackawanna river. But that makes no difference to the fellow In whose district aad stream is located. He wants the appropriation Just as badly as the colored minister wanted the groundhog when he was oi't of meat and was ex pecting visitors for dinner. The only way in which Speaker Reed can cut appropriations In the river and harbor bill Is to smother or kill the meas ure In committee, and such a thing is next to Impossible. If the bill ever gets into the house it will go through with a rush. The Fifty-first congress, of which Mr. Reed was speaker of Hhe house, appro priated neaily .S.nuu.0ui) for river und har bor Improvements, und President Hani son promptly approved It. The Fifty third congress cut those figures In twain, but President Clevelund, who was ul- ways been opposed to appropriating money for such purposes, declined to sign the bill and ullowed it to become a law; without his signature. Probably .Speaker Reed is afraid the president will veto the bill if It is too big. There Is every reason to. believe that there will be no appropriations for new public building this session, although many bills have been Introduced. Speaker Reed was very careful In making up the committee on public buildings ami grounds. Before putting a man on that committee be tlrst found out whether or not he wanted a public building for his district. If he did he went on some other committee. II I! I! The Traus-AtlHiitii- Htennndilp compa nies have u powerful lobby at work hero to dereat the Stone or uny other Immigra tion bill that may be presented to con gress.

If a prohibitive measure will get through IM' si salon. T notice that the Scranton Times doubts the accuracy ami truthfulness of my Interview Willi Senator Quay in which the seti'ilor wh? quoted as saying that he understood tho Kepubllcan ticket of that i !ty would be circled by at least 2,000 ma jority. If the young mun who wrote the Times' artlJlo will come down to Wash ington 1 will take great pleasure In In troducing him to Senator Quay und sev eral other hiKKir and greater men thui he ever met before. The Interview In question was toritii-t In every particular, and one which, I dare say, the aforesunl young mun on the Times would be unahla to get from Si mitor Vfttuy or uny olh -r public man for the reason that men of Senator yimv'j standing are not In the habit of belli ;f Interviewed on Important topics by novice In the business.

He was looking out of one of the windows the other morning when Major McDowell, clerk of the house, vvulktJ in knit saluted the Senntor thusly: , "Ah, se, ttir, lcoklng at the white house, t presuni' ." "No. mujor." replied the senator with a smile, "1 was looking at the the mon ument." "Who killed the f lie 'silver bill?" "I," said Speaker Keed, "with my little gavel." "What's In a name?" Is an old saying, but there seems to be a good deal In some names when It comes to presidential can didates. Anil ll! Is that name.

At various times well-Intended efforts have been made by charitable people to found semi-public pawn-broking shops at which needy people might procure loans on personal property at n low rate of in terest. 1'nhapplly nothing came of nny of thee schemes until in New York the Provident Loun society was founded a lit tle over a year ago. It shows that the business not only furnishes great relief for the poor but can be made of .profit fo the promoters. The society lent more than $600,000 on 3T.,0K1 pledges ; 23.7S9 pledges were re deemed. The rate of Interest charged was 1 per cent, a month, whereas the statutory rate In New Vork is 3 ptr cent. a month. The society, arter paying tixc-il charges and all expenses of management and writing off 40 per cent, on' oflice fix tures, earned !- per cent, per annum on Its contributions. This was returned to the holders of certificates. So profitable were Its transactions that It has de cided to enlarge the operations or tne bank In a way fo make them reach more effectively the deserving poor. nT.
