USES OF NITROGEN
Of the three essential ele
ments of fertility in which soils
are likely to he so lacking as to
be unable to produce crops, ni
trogen is the mostCostly, the
most difficult to procure and the
easiest to lose. As a constituent
of unrefined ammonia it readily
evaporates, a- all know wild
have either visited a horse stable
or tested an old-fashioned smell
ing bottle. As a constituent of
any of the common nitrates, and.
indeed, in all or most forms, it
is very readily soluble in water
and quickly leaches out of the
soil, is is essetiul 11)(. grijW | ],
of plants or animals, and by the
decay of either it is returned to
the soil. Being what it is, it is
naturally the first element to be
come lacking in soils as the re
sult of cropping, and, therefore,
the first to be applied in the va
rious forms of manures. Its
principal sources for manuring
purposes are vegetable matter
plowed into the soil, animal re
mains or excreta, and salts, of
which natural deposits are found
in some dry countries. The most
important of these deposits are
those of nitrate of soda in the
rainless districts of South Amer
ica. These deposits have been
mined for many years, and have
been shipped to all parts of the
world. They are just now worth
$50 per ton in this, city for the
material as it is mined and
shipped, from which one can
judge of the cost of this most
expensive element of fertility.
But the extent of these deposits
is limited and known, and the
period of their exhaustion can
he calculated. No other similar
deposits of consequence arc
known, and it is a favorite the
ory of the peesimistic schpols of
philosophers that with the ex
haustion of those beds the possi
bility of artificial replenishment
of our deteriorating soils will
cease. Nothing thereafter, ir
has been claimed, can he added
which does not originally come
from the soil, and whose trad
itions involve waste of nitrogen,
either by evaporation into the
air or by leaching into ihe sea. I
As there is a limit to the intro* ]
gen in the world, some time that,
limit must ho reached. At that I
time it will no longer he possible *
to raise crops, and the entire hu- (
man race must starve to death. ,
Happily, fliere have always 1
been as many optimists in the i
world as pe^iinists. and those '
breeds of philosophers take alto- |
gether more cheerful views of 11
tilings. For one thing, they say <
we really as yet have very little
certain knowledge of what goes
0 i in the soil, and it is not at all i
certain that the chemical reac- 1
lims in ino«t soils will not, ly
proper tillage, maintain the “tip
ply of nitrogen. It has also been
proved that of the nitrogen which
disappears with cropping, Imt a
small portion is absorbed by the]
plants, the rest disappearing by j
evaporation, a process, it i
claimed, which can lie cheeked
by proper measures. Finally, j
there is the overpowering factor
that of the atmosphere about us
nearly so per cent, by volume is
this same precious nitrogen,
which, tin.* optimists have al- (
ways insisted, would he made
available tin* ingenuity of man
whenever it was needed. It has,
of course, always been possible
to extract nitrogen from the air
in tin* laboratory. Tin* ditliculty
has been to linil a commercial 1
process by which, at moderate ;
expense, it could he ext rated, ns
it were, by the carload. Chem
ists have been at work on the
problem for years, and now it i'
announced that Sir William
Crookes, who terrified the World
a few years ago by predicting ,
the early beginning of the star
vation process, has now discov
ered the long sought process of
saving our lives at a price which
we can allord to pay for them.
1 A ml if lie has not someone eise
I will.
It is still, possible, however,
for the pessimists to maintain |
that the extraction of nitrogen !
from the air in such quantities
will render it unbearable or, ata
least, that we shall he promptly
consumed by breathing the pure
oxygen which would remain.—

MR. BRAGG TELLS ’EM
“ Ely is all right, ” said A. C. Bragg to
a Gazette reporter this morning. “We
have the greatest copper camp in the
: world and Ely will be prosperous long
after many gold camps in the State
have gone glimmering. The Nevada
Con. alone has ore enough blocked out
and ready for the smelter to make a
i city of 20,000 people, say nothing about
the Cumberland-Ely, the Giroux prop
' erties at Kimberly, the Ely Witch and
a hundred of other good mines. The
' proven district is enough to support a
large city, and you can bet your last c
nickel that one is growing. The town is
improving so fast it makes one’s head
swim to keep up with the march of
progress.
“The ElyTownsite Company is build
ing a city near the mouth of the can
i yon and spending thousands of dollars
j in improvement.
[ ‘ Tin 1 e is grbat activity at the smelter
1 ...te at McGill’s, and something like
1 ::(>-) men are at work at present, There
I will be 1,000 more put on as soon as
; earing opens, and it is the intention of
tl; company to rush the work as fast
us money and men can rush it.
“ Cherry Creek, Osceola, Ward, Tay
lor, Blackhor.-e and other districts are
growing in importance, and before
next fall these camps will show up won
derfully rich, the old town of Hamil
L hi, like Rip Van Winkle, has awak
ened from its . ! . p of thirty-five or
1 forty years, and w ill prove that the
brave men who faced the hardships of
frontier life a generation or more ago,
were tight, only they were a little
ahead of modern methods for saving
the precious metals.
"White fine will be the best and
most thickly populated of any of Ne
vada's fourteen counties inside of two
! years and if I am not here to tell you
of it, it will be because my task will >
have been finished and 1 am under the
sod and the dew.’’- Reno Gazette.
