T Nioola`Tesla, the celebrated electric- V ian, writes on a new and startling ` application of electricity to agriculture. He says that by intense electrical i oscillations he can agitate the mole- cules of the air in such away as to pro- duce "nitrogen "compounds" so that these compounds may be manufac- tured all over the world" at a small cost and in any desired amount, and by means of these compounds the soil can` be fertilized and its -productiveness in- denitely increased. This is a problem _ that the scientists of the world have been working upon ever since the na- ture of nitrogen and_ its agency as plant food became known. The sup- ply of nitrates in .the earth available for plant growth is limited and in the nature of things becomes less with each harvest. Vast quantities are wasted in the"forinwcf -gunpowder and other explosives which the scientists tell us .can never be replaced unless some means can be found,tor the extraction and xationof. the nitrogen of the at- rnosphere. Nitrogen can be extracted from the air, but the only agency thus far known for adapting it, when so ex- tracted, `to plant growth, is that of cer- tain bacteria, which are able to apply it as nourishment to the roots of cer-' tain leguminous plants. If Mr. Tesla can do for all vegetation what these - bacteria can do for our garden peas, he will conier an inestimable boon upon mankind and receive a corresponding `crown of glory. S. 8.

Killed Himself. - The Muskoka Herald says :--Tues day afternoon the citizens of Brace- bridge were thrown into a state of ex- citement by the tragic death of Mr. Robert Hutchison. `Monday A evening he was unwell and during the night medical aid had to be summoned. Tuesday he remained in bed until noon, having taken several doses of medicine, which, it is thought, affected his head. About noonhe arose, and: some min- utes later he was found in his room with a wound in his throat, made no doubt while under a tvof insanity caused by overdoses of powerful medi- cine. Physicians did all in their power to save his life, but in vain. Deceased was 37 years of age, of a genial disposi-_ tion andhad many friends here and in Gravenhurst, his former home.
