It is estimated by the bestauthorfties that {f the entire rainfall over the state of Pennsylvania were utilized with a head of 150 feet, it would not yield onetenth the amount of power that is now derived in that state alone from the consumption of coal. But on the most extravagant calculation ft would not be possible to make avallable in that mountainous state onetenth of this theoretical amount of water power, What then would be the conditfon of those vast areas of the Mississippi valley where water power is far less avallable? : But, for the moment, leaving aside these rather sobering reflections to the far-seeing statesman and philos opher, we will turn to the consideration of those Interesting processes by which even the existing limited amount of this useful material’ has been brought: within our reach and preserved for our use. Coal is an accumulation of vegetable matter which has decayed under water where oxygen could not get ac cess to the carbon to consume it and transform it into carbonic acid gas, as it does In the open air. The conditions of the coal fields, therefore, during the accumulation of the coal must have been that of vast swampy re-

Proprietor of Canine Boarding House Had to Re¢fuse Accommodations for Fido. Fido's mistress having decided to travel for the summer, and Fido's master being driven to a hotel bedroom, Fido himself was placed in a dogs’ boarding house. Two days after ‘his arrival at that establishment the master was notified that Fido was an undesirable inmate and that it would conduce to the happiness of all concerned if he were removed without further notice. ‘The master, feeling that a slur had been cast upon his donestic menage, hotfooted it up to the boarding house. “What's the matter with the dog?"” he asked. “What has he done?” | “He disturbs the other dogs,” said the manager. “They can't sleep ut night. He—he snores.” | . “Snores?’ : “Yes,” said the manager, “like a sawmill. Did you never hear him?” "Piever,” said the maater, “but, then,

Bul tarougl causes which we can hut dimly comprehend, at the close of the coul period the land all over that area, which had up to that time been slowly sinking reversed its movement and began to rike. The ele viation was produced by laternl pres gure, which folded up the Allegheny mountaing and proeduced a number of démimmvel-wnvu,_*m to epeak in the surface of the land extending to the center of the Mississipp! basin : Bat no sconer was this land ele vated above the sea than erosive agencles went to work to dissect it and to remove its more elevated portions Consequently it is estimated that more than ninetenths of the coal which was originally deposited aver central and eastern Pennsvivania, has been carried away by the rivers, and hopeless’ Iy scattered over the bottom of the sea, while the one-tenth which remaings i 8 g 0 folded up in the rocks that it fs obtained with great diffcalty in tie more central portions of the Mis sissippt valley, however. the disturdance of the strata has been less and it 48 a comparatively simple matter to obtain the rich deposits. . : _ . London Schools, According to the report for 1907.08 of the London county council educa: tion committee, there were in the schools 882834 elementary scholars— A decrease on the year of 7,759 The cost of building schools has deéreased from £l9 12s 9d in 1901 to £l2 17s 64 a scholar in 190708, To insure attendance 4,250,000 visits were made by school attendance officers during the year.

You see I do a few stunts in that line myself.” L “Exactly,” said the manager, “but the other dogs do not snore, and it injures their health to be kept awake by one that does. Fido is not the first dog I have had to send home on that account.” “Well,” said the master, “that certainly does beat me,” then he hunted up another home for Fido where the boarders were less sensitive, el e = Helping Him Along. “See here,” said Blank to the alleged humorist of the village weekly, “what do you mean by using my name S 0 often in connection with your jokes —Blank says this and Blank says that, ete.?” “My dear boy,” replied the party of the funny part, “I do that because it attracts attention. Nearly all our readers know you, and when they read those jokes they invariably say: ‘Well, that's certainly a brilliant re mark for Blank'” :

Term, Much Misunderstood, Denotes Constant Working . of Sotl. In all the discussion of the term “dry tarmning” much misunderstandiog Cexistg, says HReview of Reviews At the recent congress there was an &t tempt to change the organization's ‘name to "Arid Farming Congress.” In simple phrase. it means & method of farming that shall pot include deep plowing and [requent pulveriziog of the top soil out of as well as during the growing sevason. It is based on the pri:%v&;x!v that the moisture falling in rain- or snow may siuk into the earth if the soll be loosened. Then what there shall be Kept above that moistened bed a close, fine blanket of dust that shall prevent evaporation It the furrdows be turned at right angles to the prevailing winds of win. ter, the spow may be caught, and if the pulverizing harrow be seént over the field after every rain, the seed is certain to receive a maximuim amount of sustenance. If it does not get enough in one season it may o two, and a crop every alternate year If a ‘good one, Is ample return on cheap land. Of course there must be good ‘ soil as a basis—only Irrigation can conquer sand. To accomplish all this special machinery has come into use Horses could not pull plows biting deep into i the tough centuries-dried soll, so pow. ' erful> engines that roll majestically along with two dozen plows en train ! are in thelir places. Press drills that i plant the seed deep; pulverizing har- | rows that break the surface into pow- ! derlike fineness, and other applinaces, jare used. “First get your moisture, i then raise a crop on it,” is the form- | ula adopted by one successful farmer. | He told how he had plowed 12 Inches gdeep, had harrowed and cultivated—- | and then raised 35 bushels of wheat, | 50 bushels of corn and generous crops zot rough feed on each acre, finally ;‘stamng ‘a profitable fruit orchard-—all | this on a rainfall of less than fifteen { inches annually.

Forest Service to Run Them Out ¢ of Southwest. . In cooperation with the stockmen the United Btates. forest service has begun an active camphign against prai rie doge on the infested ranges within the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico, sayvs the Austin Dally Statesman Suceessliul attempts at poisoning prairie dogs were made last spring and summer by the lorest servs {ee in other parts of the country, and this year the work will be carrted on mueh more extensively. V * The polson used to put an end to these litte pests of the western rangea is prepared by coating wheat with a preparation of strychnine; cvanide of potassium, anise ol apd molasses, The stockmen supply horses and men and the poisoned wheat s given out by the government officers for distribation upon rauges within the national forest areas. Each rider carries the wheat in a tin pail supported by & gunny ‘sack siung scross his shoulder. One ‘hand is free for the reins and with the other the rider uses a teaspoon 1o measure out the polson in “haits” apd ‘drop it near the entrance of the holes. | The action of the poison {8 almost instantaneous. Most of the prairie ‘dogs in & town are dead within an hour or two after the bait is dropped. - Early last month 8300 pounds of wheat was prepared In Albuquerque, N. M. and shipped to the various national forests in Arizopa and New Mexico to be distributed. This quantity of wheat will make approximately 6,020,000 baits, which will clear up an aréa of from 65,000 to 80000 acres at a cost, exclusive of the labor of distributing it on the ranges of about one to 114 cents an acre. : "o The poison is used to best advan 1 tage in the early spring, when the dogs first come out of their winter guarters and before the green grass is plentiful enough to appease their appetites. Squab Raising. : There is money in squab raising. Money has been made and is being made on Long Island, and one can do well, being close to market; but all men are not fitted by nature to raise squabs or chickens. Pigeons require a great deal of care and continual watching. They are erratic, and the man must be on the job all the time. A man who can give his time to a combination like chickens and squabs, and loves this class of work, would certainly do well. , L i e e e e e e . Raise Bees for Recreation. | Mr. Hane of Belt, Mont., raises bees for 'recreation, and yet they made money for him last year. From 12 hives he took almost 1,000 pounds of ‘the finest quality of honey, lcaving a good supply for the bees during the winter. The honey was worth 20 ceals a Bodk e

NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of l all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cents or nearly - one~quarter, die before they reach oue year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not heeitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save & ma-~ Jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons, In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death, Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must ‘see that it bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher, Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fover, o RS &
