Flthiness Of Imported Rags.

Washington Cor. Cleveland LeadeF.l
Great quantities of rags are shipped to
the United States from all parts of the
world. They are used for making paper,
and are sent from the seaboard to the va
rious paper mills throughout the country.
The annual importation amounts to about
500, 900 bales. Each bale contains from
400 to 1900 pounds of rags. They are
tightly pressed together, and come into
this country securely bound for shipping.
You a have no idea of the sources from
which thess rags are obtained. A large
amount of them come from Japan, and
thousands of bales from Calcutta
The Calcutta rags are the worst They
are made up in q large part from the
~wrappings Of dead bodies. The bodies of
the dead are thrown into the river, and
when these rags float ashore, Oh can be
otherwise gotten, they are shipped here
for the paper trade. sometimes impuri-
ties of different kinds creep into the bales
In one bale not a long time ago o dead
baby was found, and in other bales other
foul matter has been discovered.
The Egyptian rags are largely tainted
with cancels manure; and those gathered
from the cutters and streets of Shanghai
are foul beyond description. A great
amount Of rags comes from Japan to us
l think there are more than 10000 bale.

The Importance of writing distinctly
when writing for publication was recently
illustrated in a magazine in London. In
a clergyman's letter from Asia, he meant
to write the people of Judea, " but the
printer made It 1.-THE people of India. "
The manuscript was submitted to an ex-
pert chirographist who decided that the
printer was entirely justified. The clergy
mans "Judea, " as written, had an l In
stead of a j, an n instead of q u, and 1t
was impossible to decide whether the next
to the last letter was intended for an e or
an 1, it being as much like one as the
other.
People who write carelessly and indis.
tinctly, when writing for publication,
have nobody but themselves to blame
when mistakes are made in printing
names of persons or places. The printer
is usually wonderfully expert in decipher.

the latter, and then submit it to a com
pany of friends to decide (which is which

Artesian Wells in the Sahara.
Boston Transcript

A correspondent of Ausland makes a
communication regarding the present con.
dition of the artesisn wells in Sahara 1t
is well known that such wells have been
in operation there from q very remote
period, and in the Algerian Sahara addi-
tional wells have been opened with con
siderable success by the French. Between
Biskra and Tuggurt the 434 old wells
yielded in 1870 $4,000 litres of pure water
per minute, the sixty-eight French ones
113, 600 litres. The number of palms had
increased from $50, 900 10 517, 900, that Of
other fruit trees from 40, 900 to 90 900.
the population 6,672 to IL, 1927. In De.
cember, 1881, the yield of water from the
wells had risen to 100000 litres per
minute.
But this success is confined to q narrow
zone within which water can be reached
within a depth Of 100 metres, and even
here the borings that have been made
since 1881 indicate q diminution in the
yield Of water, making 1t appear as If the
limit Of production Of the underground
reservoirs had almost been reached.
Many of the French borings, too, are get
ting stopped up by sand, and are of too
small caliber to be cleaned out and ne.
stored like the wider Arabic ones. 1t ID
believed that it will be absolutely neces-
sary to set about the sinking of new wells
with q wider bore.
