Engineering Moving Water.

We have some idea of the amount of
water that must pass through corn
plant, wheat plant and cotton plant,
to organize pound of each of these i'm
pOTtant staples; and we regard with
lively interest the wateTwOrks with which
cities are supplied with water as throw
ing light on agricultural engineering and
the future supply of fertilizers to the
country. An enormous engineering
work is in progress to supply Baltimore
with water, the present supply being
bad in quality and inadequate in guam
tity.
The new source is the Gunpowder river,
nine m les from the city, and the water
is to be brought through a tunnel seven
miles long, cut through mountain. This
will be the longest tunnel in America,
circular in shape, and twelve feet in dia-
meter. Five miles of the distance is
very hard rock, and the drilling is done
by manual labor, power drills being i'm
practicable in such a small space. The
rest of the way will be bricked. Fifteen
shafts have been sunk. The cost is esti-
mated at S3, 900, GOO, about / 500 men
are employed, and the tunnel viii pro-
badly be completed in three years. The
employees are mainly negroes, who live in
miserable log cabins; and the contractor
says that his greatest difficulty is not of
an engineering kind, but comes from
drunkenness among these men. Liquor
dealers infest the temporary villages with
portable bars, and sell vile whisky so
cheap that the laborers buy extensively.
Few have any conception what moving
water will do in this country in three
generations from this time. IF congress
will do nothing else for agriculture, it
ought at least to establish one institution
to teach agricultural engineering as
to 800 pupils as military
science is taught at West Point. We do
not object to the scientific education of
cadets and military officers, but we do
affirm that engineering skill applied to
irrigation will be quite as useful to man
kind as it can be in war. Educated Off
GERS often make superior farmers, and
one of the greatest lawyers in the city of
New York is doing creditable work by
old fields in Virginia. When.
shall we learn that knowledge is power?

Great Hebrew Bankers and the Silver
Question.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Graphic outlines a new and
curious theory broached in Washington.
He says:
A combination to depreciate silver has
been projected by the great Jew bankers
of the world. These people have studied
the whole question of currency in q very
practical way, and understand it not only
much better that the community at
large, but better also than the Christians
associated with them in business. They
realize that the demonstration of silver
means an era of low prices. In other
words, the artificial enhancement of the
price of gold reduces the measure of
prices all over the world. BY their di-
rect action upon the governments of the
Scandinavian states, Germany, and the
United States, these great bankers sue
ceeded in partially demonetizing silver.
The low price which has resulted, and
the destruction to the trade of the world,
they have taken advantage of in the
purchase of all manner of staple proper
ty. When they have secured enough
they will again become converts to the
desirability Of using silver, which will be
remonetized all over the world, where
upon prices will rise, and these gigantic
operators expect W sell OuG dI SAGldsd-
gantly high prices. These rich Jewish
capitalists find it necessary to influence
only a few people in each administration.
As bankers they have direct access to
secretaries and treasures and finance
ministers, and the people who manipulate
the press of the world. Upon various
plausible pIetexts they get laws passed
demonetizing silver; which being effected,
they take advantage of the ruinous fall
in prices which occurs all over the world.
From this they know there will be a re-
action in favor of the two metals; and
they will profit, by the addition in the
market value of what they bought at
low figures, and sell out. 1t will be
noticed that the Syndicate represents an
immense Jewish interest, who have been
the most active monOmetalistt since the
beginning of the controversy.

cold, chill, wintry air, had I not, boy a
am, made him afraid to do the deed
But we can not live there always so
We owe our landlord twelve dollars fol
rent, and he has sworn with an oath thai
he would turn US out of doors by force
Of arms if we do not leave. 'Twould Kill
my mother to be moved now. Do this
and so may God bless you +"
This had not been spoken connectedly,
as we have written il, but at spasmOdiC
| intervals, broken by sObs and weeping.
The effect was electrical. Never. before
| had such a thing been heard of, and yet
few seemed to think it out of place. Most
| OF them were too much moved TO think
ofanything but the story they had heard.
That same boy might have told them his
simple story in the street, and they
would have passed him idly by; but now
it came home to their hearts. 1t seemed
almost test sent by God to try their
faith in the doctrine they had that day
heard. Only Mr.. Notworth seemed
angry; but though every eye had been
turned upon him, yet he dared not speak.
Ere long the minister came down, and
placed his hand upon the boys head
and then: in clear, impressive tone, he
said,- -
&c 9 InasmUch as ye have done it until
the least ofene of these, have ye done it
unto me- My friends, let US all take
counsel together after we are dismissed" )"
He then pronounced the benediction
but only David Notworth left the house.
What was done in that meeting can be
Judged by the results. That very night
doctor came to the widows cot, and
with him came a nurse who was to re-
main. On the.next day a large sum of
money, and many articles of comfort,
were sent in. Ere long Paul was taken
into the family of a wealthy mechanic as
an adopted son; and ere the SHOWS of
winter were gone the widowed mother
was well again, and was gladly taken
into the same family with her son, where |
she passed the bappiest hours Of her |
woman's life.
you find a braver boy than was Paul !
1avere7 Think you he was brave when
he faced those two men for his mothers |
protection? So he was. But that re-
quired not a moiety of the stern, calm |
heroism, which sent him, a pale, feeble |
boy, into that sacred temple, there to |
face the multitude, and, in defiance of all |
precedent, to pour out the story of his |
mOthers's sutfeTings. But his soul was
strong with filial love, and he conquered.
People hOnored him for this strange in
and as he grew up a noble,
steady, virtuOus youth and man, he was
by all who knew him. Yet the
smile and the loving embrace of his
mother, with her fearful blessings upon
him, were by far the dearest return he
met for his work.
OF Mr.. Notworth we will only say he
died unwept and unmourned, and a
5pendthrift son quickly squandered his
property.

Turkish Cavalry in 1925.

The borses, especially those of the
Asiatic Spahis, were small but fiery, well
broken, capable of enduring fatigue and
privations. The Kurdish and Cappado-
clan horses were accustomed to be pick
eted, and to bear the midday heat and
the midnight cold. They we're only
watered once a day, and kept in condi-
ton without barley, when fed on the
coarest fodder. The light and easy
fitting palanu or saddle, made of felt, re-
mained on their hacks day and night, so
that the horseman was ready at any
moment 70 mount. The bit was very
severe for 20 well broken an animal, and
was intended to stop the horse suddenly
in mid career, OF to wheel him round in
a moment. The bar of the bit was oftc n
five or six inches long, and instead of the
curb-chain that was a ring. The round
shoe was admirably suited to its purpose,
The steel was forged cold was thin and
light, lasted five or six weeks, and pro-
tected the hoof admirably On stony
ground. Although thoy use no cruppers

American Volcanoes.

Since we now have an active volcano
in the United States, the subterranean
disturbances of our neighbOrs will begin
to be of some interest to US. Many of
the Mexican volcanoes have been silent
ever since the discovery of America, and
others are on record as having famed
out for the last time shortly after the
Spanish invasion. Among those that
have been the longest quiet was the
mountain Ceboruco; but IN 1910 1T broke
forth after a sleep of centuries. 1t has
been noticed that earthquakes, formerly
frequent in its vicinity, have not taken
place since its last eruption, and there IS
a notion that the vent given by the
volcano has served as a relief 10 pent up
gases and materials that otherwise would
have caused disturbance. If this theory
holds good, California may be saved from
another earth-shakiDg by the activity sr
the vet unnamed volcano in her south
western corner. The eruption is said TO
have taken place about sixty miles
north of Yuma. That place always had
a queer reputation. There is a s,ory of
the ghost Of a dead soldier being interro-
gated by the spirit-rapping process as to
whether his present abode was hot.
" Yes" was the reply, "it's awful hot;
but it isn't any hotter than Fort Yuma.

The Turkish Troops ON the Danube.

{" 1 do not wish" writes a correspond
ent to the London Telegraph from Rust
chuk, " to boast of our troops here; their
fighting hereafter will tell its own tale ;
but 1 may remark that those who believe
them to be emaciated, ragged, and miser-
able, are terribly deceived. l am aware
that it is the fashion to imagine them
underfed and ill-clOthed; that it is pOpu-
Iarly supposed that the Turkish soldier
lives like a Bushman--upon what he can
grub up from the ground, and that, if
ever he gets full meal, it is after having
gone on for a long time with very poor
meals indeed. But let me give you an
idea of how they are kept. l will take the
amount OF food served on the last night
for to-day's rations to the battaliOns of
infantry here. There were 50, 900 pounds
of bread, 10000 pounds Of meat, $500
pounds of rice, 700 pounds of butter,
and 5000 such like delicacies. To every
horse. too, was served out pounds of
barley and II pounds of hay, and this,
be it remem bered, was no extraordinary
ration. The fact is that for the present
we have plenty and to spare, though how
long it will last is of course not for me to
saw. All I wish to remark Is that at
this moment we are in excellent lighting
trim. and if we have no vodka to wash
down the excellent bread which Is served
ont. It is because the Turks are teetota-
Iers of the strictest sort, and need no
stimuIant to make them fight well.

Alcoholic Anmsthesia.

Some interesting experiments made in
Germany in the production flocal anas-
tlresia, show that if the hand be immersed
for short time in ice-water, severe pain
is caused, but that no such pain is pro-
duced on immersing the hand in the cold
alcohol, not even when the temperature
of the alcohol is as low as five degrees
cent. Glycerine was found to possess a
similar property. Either occasioned
pain, and quicksilver more acute pain
still, causing the speedy withdrawal of
the finger when plunged into this LIQUID
at a temperature of three degrees. 1t was
next ascertained that, on the finger being
held for long time in alcohol having a
temperature of five degrees cent, no
pain was experienced, and. although the
finger perceived the faintest touch, sharp
pricks gave no paiu. This seems to show
that the application of cold alcohol, one
of the most simple as well as safest pro-
cesses, has the effect of depriving the
part Of the special sensibility to pain,
without, however, impairiDg the delicscy
of the general tactile sensation which, as
is well known, resides in the superficial
integument.
