Foryears the water question has been
a c0nundrum on the plains Of Arizona
and Southern California. 1t is well
known that some Of the land on the
deserts is Of the best quality, and would
produce the best crops in the world if
rain would fall or water were more
plentiful for irrigation. This problem
has been solved by a South American
gentleman who has travelled over most
Of the world. Wilhelm this citva Times
reporter. learning through a third party
that he had made a discovery called
upon him and gathered the following
facts: 1t seems that the gentleman wa
travelling in a dry part Of South Ameri-
ca looking for new range for stock.
lie had %journeyed about thirty miles
from water and was beginning to get
used up, when he discovered one of
those green spots on the desert that
makes the lonely travellers heart feel
light. On nearer approach he saw that
there was a town of small animals
similar to the prairie dog Of this coun-
try. They had mounds all around this
green spot, and seemed to beyery mum
erous. When he rode up among them
they all scanpered into their holes. but
some came out again and became quite
tame. Herode upto the spring or well,
and found it to be OF excellent quality
Of water. After quenching his thirst
he began to look around and mvesti-
gate the new camp. The strangest
thing that his attention was called to
was the similarity of the holes made
by the dogs. The spring flowed from
the center Of the mound just the same
as that in which the dog lived, bat
it was much larger, and on the topwas
a large basin. Noticing this fact and
knowing that water was a great dis
lance, he investigated and came to the
concluSiun that the little dogs had Dor
ed the well.
Acting upon this decision, he cap
tured TWO Of them and started for his
ranch. On arriving there a pen was
made in q dry place and the little fell
lows were put into it; and in . few
days the work began. They worked
very rapidly and soon had q hole fifty
or sixty feet deep. They seemed to be
able to penetrate the hardest kind of
soil, as they keep right on. stopping for
nothing. One would work in the bot
tom of the hole, whiletheot other brought
the drift to the top. On the fifth day

The Romance ola Bank Note.

-
In the year 1140 one Of the directors
of the Bank Of England. man Of rn-
jmpeachable honor, lost a bank note for
100000, under peculiar circumstances.
1t seems he had bought an estate for
that sum of money, and Inconvenience
sake obtained a note for that amount.
AS he was about to put it under lock
and key, after he reached home, he was
called out of the room, w~hereupon, as
he thought, he placed it upon the man
telpiece. Upon returning, q few min
utes later, the note had disappeared. tt
could not have been stolen, for no one
had entered the room, whereupon he
concluded that it had been blown into
the fire and had been consumed. He
laid the matter before the officers of
the bank, and they reissued q note for
the same amount. he giving bonds to
reimburse the bank if the note should
ever be presented for payment. Ihir-
ty years after, when he had long been
dead and his estate distributed among
his heirs, the supposed nonresident
note turned up at the bank counter for
payment. AS the bank could not af-
ford to dishQnor the obligation, the
money was paid out, and the heirs of
the dead man We're asked to make good
the lossj this they refused to do, nor
could the bank employ any machinery
10 force them TO do so. Theperson who
protited by the matter was supposed to
be a builder, employed 10 pail down the
lead mans house and build another on
It's site. He found the missing $4,000
note in a creVice in the chimney. in
which it somehow got lodged after be
ing laid on the mantelpiece. 1t must
have been kept many years, and it's pre-
sentation to the bank was so arranged
that the builder became a rich man bv

The employees on the early train OF

ling phenomenon in the eastern heay

tween Smiths Station and Valley June

ment. an immense American FLAG com.
posed Of the Natioal colors, stood ont
In bold relief high in the heavens. con.
tlnulng in view fer a considerable
length of time. It gradually faded
from view and was replaced BY white
flag Or streamer, with q black band ey-
tending across the center. What this
vision or omen portends, is a matter OF
conjecture, and it has excited consider
able interest among the superstitious,
who declare that all sorts OF troubles
are about to come upon the country.
while others assert that it is a sign or
f~orerunner Of war at no very distant
day.
A New York city paper thus speaks
OF the appearance Of the heavens at
that point: The sky has been aglow
with light several times of late. We
do not know the cause. On Tuesday
morning at 3 o'clock it was almost as
light as day, and it looked as if a great
fire was raging in ourimmediate neigh
borhood. Many persons were aroused
from their slumbers, and We're peerin2,
out of their windows to see what it all
meant. 1t continued until near day-
light and then gradually disappeared
as day apprloaeheA. The same phenom-
enon appeared on Staten Island last
week. The entire Island seemed ablaze.
Great tongues Of flame shot up from
across the water, r%eddening the south
western sky and tinting the Jersey
shore with delicate shell colors. The.
rosy Glow lit up the anxious faces of
those that took the G:30 boat for staple
ton, and the conversations were carried
on in low tones, each seeming to fear
that his own house might be burning.
The light gradually grew less as the
boat ncared the Stapleton shore, and
by the time.it landed at the village the
glow had quitedied out, Only the gray
was to be seen. The sun had set.
The same light also appeared at
Poughkeepsie. The fire department
was called out on account OF an extern
sive illumination in the southwestern
part Of the sky. The heavens from the
horizon to the zenith, We're covered
with a red glare, as though from an ex-
con1lagration. kilograms from
different points tell the same phenome-
non. This spectacle has been Witness
ed on every clear evening for several
days past, and generally between a
quarter after 5 and 6 o'clock.
