FISHING FOR WATER.

New York SUM-
''Did you ever hear of place where
the people are compelled to fish In the
ocean for ell the fresh water they use %
asked Ben. Germley, sailor who had
cruised in every water on the face Of
the globe. "There is such place, aud
I've been there. 1t is the hottest place
I have ever been in, and / have been to
all the hot ones. Rain never falls there
and the temperature never changes. !
think it stands at 100 degrees all the
year round. You're thirsty when you
60 to sleep; you wake up in the night
thirsty; you're thirsty all day. Yet
the people who live there appear to
think they are in the garden spot of
creation. That's natural, though, for
it isn't likely one out OF hundred of
them was ever in any other place. This
delightful spot is on the Persian Gulf,
at Babrir. where they fish for the water
they drink. l had the pleasure Of stay
ing there three days ten years ago.
81 don't know who discovered the
fact, but there are numberless springs
of ice cold water at the bottom of the
gulf, near the shore, whera the water is
about sixty feet deep. This must have
been known when they first set up the
town. of course, or it wouldn't have
been started there. This fresh water
gets to be salt enough, though, before
it gets far from the bottom, and so they
have to send down after it. When a
mans wife calls him to go after a pail
Of water and be quick about it, over in
Babrin, he grabs goatskin bag, yells
at the 6rst neighbor he sees stretched
out in the sand. and the two jump into
boat and row out a short distance.
The man who lie after the water wraps
the goatskin about his left arm, with
the mouth OF the bag in his hand. He
then takes q heavy stone in his other
hand. This stone is tied securely to
the end of a long and strong line, for
stones are valuable property there.
Without them no one could go out and
fetch pail of water, and they are very
scarce. With the stone firmly clutched
in his hand, the man dives into the
water, and down he goes to the bottom.
When be reaches the cool. fresh water.
gushing up from the sand, he opens the
mouth of his goatskin bag, drops the
stone, and floats upward 10 the strong
current. The bag quickly fills ana the
mouth is closed again. When the man
reaches the surface, his companion lifts
the bag into the boat aud the diver fol-
lows. The stone is then carefully drawn
up and the men go home.
The water is cold and refreshing when
it first comes up from the depths OF the
sea, but it soon gets fat and warm; the
more you drink of it the thrstier you
get; but the natives can get along on
few swallows of it now and then. The
requirements of the climate keep the
divers at work in the submarine springs
for all they are worth, and the shore is
lined with their boats all day long.
The springs are said to be the outlet of
large natural aqueducts in a range of
mountains more than five hundred miles
from the coast, but l guess they would
have hard time to prove the theory if
they were called upon to do ir."

When it is required to seed grass in summer,

be sown between the middle of August and Ess

fine surface. and the seed ground into the ssiE
lightly by means Of plank drawn over the sur-
face. Thus the seed will catch nicely unless

rather than otherwise But, unless the surfsea
filth is in the best condition, wait until tina
frosts of winter have mellowed the surface.
Grassseed is too small to take well at any sea-
son in lumpy soil.

stalks may be knocked down in the spring by tho
usual means-a railway bar or pole--and tho
stalks left where they lie. Before knocking
down the corn, clover seed should be sown, sinca

what and assist in covering the seed. The suc~

disposed of, or this may be done immediateiy
after knocking them down, if too much DAMAGE

TRICKS ON THE TRACKsi
Dangers from Which Engineers Save til
Public and Themselves
THE Railway Review.1

The Railway Review.]
One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he is dependent for safety upon the en-
gineer. Added to the responsibility Of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger of accidents caused by the
tricks Of Jealous rivals.
This rivalry, it is said, sometimes
prompts to the doing of utterly mean tricks.
A Nickle Plate engineer after his very first
trip was laid off because he had "cut out"
all the bearings of his engine. He was re-
instated, however, after he proved that
some rival had filled his oiling can tcith
emery, Another new engineer was sus-
pended for burning out the fiues Of his
boiler. Through grief at the loss Of his
position he died, and then conscience.
stricken rival confessed that he had put
oil in the tank so that it loaned and showed
water at the top gauge, when in reality
there was scarcely quart in the boiler!
These intense jealousies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident to their
work, have terribly straining effect or
the nerve, and statistics tell us that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all
healthy class. Ex-Chief Engineer A. s.
Hampton, Indianapolis, Ind, DIV. 14S)
was one Of those apparently hearty men,
but he says; "The anxiety, strain and
jolting came near finishing mo-" His suf-
fcrings localized in catarrh of the bladder,
but he used Warmers safe cure faithfully
for twenty weeks and now exclaims: II
am a well man." I. s. Ingraham, of
Clev Gland, o., Assistant Chief Engineer,
and other prominent members are also
emphatic in its praise.
The Locomotive Engineers Brotherhood
has 1900 members and 240 divisions. Its
headquarters are in Cleveland, o., where
Chief Engineer Arthur for twenty years
has exercised aim st dictatorial sway. 1t
was organized in August, 1868, by the em-
ployes of the Michigan Central. It has
given nearly two million dollars to the
widows and orphans OF deceased members.
