SOBJECTJF ESSAY Entered by Farmer's Boy in Contest in County District Schools. Under the caption, "Sign and Odmdi," a very interesting essay has been banded to County Superintendent Williams, by Donald Bell, aged twelve. Of Fountain City high school, No. 1, Wayne township. The essay Is one out of 191 essays which are being written and filed with the county superintendont by the eighth grade pupils of the district schools In Wayne county. Young 'Bell secured his information from older residents living in iLo lcin Ity of bis school. A fjreat number of the signs and omens are accepted by number of people. Following is a few Of the signs and omens upon which Bell writes: Wbeather An evening red and a morning gray is a certain sign of a very line day. Rings and haze around the moon indicates rain. Sundogs around the sun Indicates cold weather. The gradual or rapid fall of the mercury In the barometer indicates a, alowly or quickly approaching storm. A storm at midnight will "break" before daylight. Rain before seven will atop before eleven. A continued north Wind brings clear and colder weather, flaky and low clouds denote rain or now. If the sunset is followed by a long streak of different rolorB it indicates a storm is to follow that night. When "beat lightning" is visible a atorm Is In that direction but it may be several miles off. Planting. Plant seeds or roots producing vegetables or tubers In the ground In the dark of the moon. Irish potatoes, if planted the first three days of the dark of the moon will be free from ravages of potato bugs. Building When you move into a house take a Bible, a loaf of bread, a broom and a dime. "Move on Friday, a very short flit; move on Saturday abort er ylt." It Is unlucky to start bullding on Friday. Always put a building on a certain angle, or It will sing on one side. Never put an uneven number of doors in a house. Never build a chimney on the west side of a house. Health If you wear a ruby you cannot be poisoned. Carry a rabbitt's foot In your pocket for good luck. Throwing old shoes and rice after a bride and groom will bring them good luck. Trim your nails on Monday for good luck. If you wear a turquoise it 'prevents the catching of Infectuous diseases. Preservations of life Never let a bird fly Into your house especially a sparrow, for If it does and you are In the room Into which It flies you will die In a very short time. niTiiri nnnir nino III! I MM HnlM mna Trying to Defeat Fast Centerville Hudson Team. (Palladium Special) CENTER V'lLLK. Ind., Feb. 10. Playing with three ribs broken. Rathcl, the fast guard of the Mooreland basketball team and his four stalwarts were unable to defeat the Centerville basketball squad In the game last night, which after a hotly contested session went in favor of the Centerville Hudson team by the scoro of 25 to 24. In the second half while making a dribble, Rathel ran Into the stairway which leads to the balcony, and broke three ribs.. He was game to the core, however, and after a doctor bad made an examination, went on with the game. The game waB fast and interesting, team work for the Centerville lads winning the game. For the visitors, Rathel and Kimmcl played the stellar roles, and Allison and Wilcoxen played the leading parts for Centerville. Kimmel was a marvel with the ball, throwing four field and six foul goals. Allison secured five goals and two foul goals. ' Wilcoxen, the new recruit to the Centerville team, who has been playing such a phenomenal game, secured four field goals while playing at guard. This makes twelve out of fifteen games which Centerville has won and out .of this number of games the locals have made 507 points to the 254 made by their opponents. The lineups follow: Centerville Mooreland Forwards Scarce, Bayer Allison. .Kimmel Covart Center Harrington Furnas Guard Wilcoxen. Ilampdon Rathel. Snider Mooreland Kimmel six foul and four field goals. Covart three Held goals; Furnas one Held goal. Rathel one field goad. Centerville Hudsons Scarce oue foul goal, Allison ive field and two foul goals, Harrington two field goals, and Wilcoxen four field goals.

OUR TREES THEIR SOIL RELATION

BY PROF. J. F. THOMPSON. (Continued.) Probably the most important characteristic of soil in its relation to tree life is its structure, or its physical composition, for upon this depends its ability to hold water. For our purpose it will be enough to say that there are about six classes of soils. Rock unbroken "as we see it in boulders or as it outcrops along the river. Sand, which consists of small particles of rock, such as we see along a shore. Lime, which consists of decayed or broken lime stone Clay. Humas, which besides being made up of rock fragments contains some form of decaying organic life. Then there are some soils that we call alkaline, which contain so much salt that whatever may be Its structure plants cannot grow in it. These soils all differ in their capacity for holding water, sand being the poorest. Of course we may find these soils mixed, or one kind overlying another, as for instance, clay underlying sand, or humus over sand. Again, we have the glacial soil, which consists of sand, gravel, clay and rock boulders, all mixed together, and every time we find a new combination of soils we have a new capacity for water. Now, just what is meant by the capacity of soil for water, or what is meant by soil water, it will be tbe purpose of this article to try to show. Suppose we take a pebble one inch in diameter. According to a well known rule in arithmetic, it will have a surface equal to 3-1416 square inches. If one dips this pebble into water and takes it out, all of the water in liquid form will drop off, but there will still cling to tbe pebble a delicate film of water equal to 'the surface of the pebble. Now, if we take the pebble, and without adding or subtracting from it, divide it into a thousand equal parts, each part will have a diameter of a tenth of an inch. Now, according to the same rule for finding the surface of a solid, each of the ten parts will have a surface of .3146 square inches, and a thousand will have a surface of 31.416 square inches. In other words', without increasing the matter in the pebble, we have increased its surface and instead of holding a film of water 3.1416 inches, it has now a capacity for holding nearly ten times as much water film. If, instead of dividing the pebble into a thousand parts it is divided into a million, it will have a capacity for holding 314.16 square inches of water film. If, instead of a million parts, we make it a billion, the capacity of the pebble has been Increased to 3141.59 square inches of water film. Thus it is mathematically certain that a round pebble may have its surface increased a thousand imes by dividing it into a billion pieces, and therefore its capacity for holding water films increased in the same ratio. Now, if we multiply the above square inches or about the water capacity of a cubic inch of soil whose particles are one thousandth of an inch in diameter by 1728, it will give the water capacity of a cubic foot of soil composed of like grains and it will give 37,700 square feet. Now, let us suppose that the roots of trees penetrate

the soil six feet, and we know that here in the city streets they penetrate deeper than that, then a column of soil a foot square and six feet deep would have a water capacity of 226,200 square feet. Now, suppose each tree stands in a plot of ground eight by eight feet or 64 square feet, multiplying the 226,200 square feet by 64 and reducing It to acres, we will, find that if a tree stands in a plot of ground eight by eight feet and its roots reach down six feet, if the soil particles are as small as one thousandth of an inch in diameter, the films of water held by the soil particles, if spread out, would cover more than three hundred and thirty acres. Now, as a matter of fact, tbe soil particles in which our trees stand are much smaller than one-thousandth of an inch in diameter. Hilgard found on measuring the diameters of soil grains in various localities in Mississippi that they varied from four hundred thousandths of an Inch in diameter to four thousand seven hundred and twenty-four hundred thousandths of an inch. It will be apparent from these figures how the soil acts as a great reservoir of water in such a form as is available for plant use, and that up to a limit at least tbe finer the soil particles the greater the capacity of soil for holding water in this form. Liquid water soon sinks beyond the reach of the lowest roots, but the water films do not sink away but remain clinging to the soil particles. We perhaps, have but little conception of how much this would be if it could be reduced to liquid form, but it has been estimated that the water in five feet of soil, with medium sized grains, would be some where near twelve to fifteen inches in depth. This, then, is the water that land plants must have. They have learned to use it In the form of films and they cannot use it in any other form. In fact, if the ground around trees is covered with water even for a short period of time, trees will die. At Carp Lake, near Petoskey, some years ago a dam was constructed across the outlet, for a saw mill. This caused the water to rise in the lake a few feet, and it backed up into the forest that surrounded the lake and the trees all died wherever their roots were permanently covered with water. Land plants cannot use water, or they have lost the ability to use water, in this form. Now, It must be evident that to get the water from each individual particle of soil the roots of a tree must not only be very numerous, but they must be very small; since the soil presents such an enormous surface to water, plants must meet itwith a surface adequately great. In another article the "root hairs" were spoken of as being the absorbing roots of tbe plant, and as the soil particles are numbered by billions, so the root hairs are numbered by billions, so that each soil particle may be reached. If any one wishes to see what root hairs look like and at the same time form some conception of the enormous

number even on a small plant, will take a grain or two of common field corn and place on a wet blotter and i CO, Jewelers & IMS Smmnffin 3 A- WALLO CPECI ALIOT f ?? .

cover with a glass tumbler, the roots will develop in the air and may be seen through the glass. The great numbers that develop make it possible to see them with the unaided eye. Now, when it rains, some of the water runs away over the surface of the ground to tbe river; some of it goes back into the atmosphere by evaporation, and tbe rest sinks into the ground, and this last amount is what plants have to depend on for their supply. This last, as it sinks into the soil, covers the soil particles with films of water and what isn't so disposed of sinks down until it comes to soil so dense, or rock, that It cannot sink any farther, and here it accumulates in liquid form and is called the "Water Table." When people dig wells they have to dig this far, and its distance below the surface varies in different localities. Now, when plants use up the water films in the soil through which their roots travel, then the water from this water table rises in the soil in accordance with law of capillarity, and supplies the soil grains with new films of water, and thus It is" that plants have a steady supply of water

from the lower soil levels when there is no rain to supply them from above. It must be plain, however, that this water table must be replenished from time to time by rains or it will be come exhausted. This condition may be brought about in two ways; a long period of dry, hot weather may exhaust the water table. Thjs is the reason that some wells go dry, the water rising through the soil escapes by evaporation or is used up by plantB.

done by cutting down the forests, tor forests prevent a rapid run off of the water on the surface; or it may be done tn cities by tbe improvement of the streets, where the hard streets, aided by their form, shed the water into the gutter, by which it Is directed Into the sewer and then into the river, so that aside from making the

trees look a little fresher after a shower, the rain in reality does them no permanent good. Statistics show that in the neighborhood of improved cities the water table in the past few years has been permanently lowered several feet, so that certain trees that were once in great favor as street trees are no longer able to grow In streets, because they cannot adapt themselves to such a permanent lack of water.
