Two sides of the Case.

A clergyman said yesterday to a New Ha- ven gentleman that he would vote the Re- publican ticket for the last time this fall unless the party veered decidedly to prohibi- tion principles. He would vote for it this fall because the United States senatorial question was involved and be wanted to see Republican returned to the Senate. A prominent and wealthy New Haven Republican said yesterday: 'I steadily refuse now all applications made me to donate money in aid of prohibition. used to give money for it whenever it was asked for. l refuse now because the Prohibitionists act utterly without reason or sense in the matter. Because they can't carry everything their own way all at once they slop over and turn against the party which of all parties they are bound to honor and respect and from which alone they can ever expect to bene6: their cause. Prohibition does not prohibit and never will. High license is my theory as practical"

''Must be big money in the melon bushes"
said loquacious man on an Illinois Central
train. II see they're selling 'em in Chicago at
25 cents apiece There's money in that. The
farmers ought to be getting rich. Why, down
raised six hundred whopping big melons on q
patch no biggern the floor of this here car"
s.That1i never do" replied the man in the next
seat. with an incredulous smile; "thatll never
do In the world Six hundred 1aelons would
cover space as big as the floor of this car all
over so you couldn't see the ground. 1t must be
your stories that are whoppers, instead of the
melons"
''That shows all you know about the melon
business. Of course. 600 melons would cover a
piece of ground of that size all up, and good
deal more. Everybody knows that There
wouldn't be any fun in the business if they
didn't. Why, sir when had a truck farm over
in Michigan melons were dirt cheap, and 1t took
good deal of ingenuity to make any money out
of EN- By little ingenuity and close fgurin'
I managed to come out ahead, though the mar
ket was simply awful. My farm lay right along
side a railroad switch, and used to have the
company give me train of box ears on that
track. Then. after the vines got good start,
and just as nay melons were about to grow-mel-
ons grow powerful fast and big out Of the soil f
old Michigan when they get started-I'd have
my men start the vines CROWN into the car
doors. In three days and nights I'd have every
one of them cars loaded full to the roof with
nice. ripe watermelons, and all there was TO do
then was hitch on an engine an draw EN- off to
market. Yes, sir, the starting of the locomotive
picked the melons, an saved me the expense of
picking and loading. Guess you never raised
melons for Twin, did you, mister"

When the great iron tower, 1000 feet high, was.

evolved design which was chosen and which IL

quences which the building of the iron toweT

of iron running north and south would become

The Old Bridge of Ayr.

An act Of objectionable vandalism Is going Ia

on the bridge Of Ayr, he could talk of the poor
narrow footpath of street, where twa wheel
barrows tremble when they meet" 1t is not sur
prising that the stones are now dropping from

Two Rivers Longer than the Amazon-South
American Streams.

American Streams.
New York Sun.
The explorations of recent years have consid-
erably changed our notions of the comparative
rank Of the great rivers of the world. Ii we
class rivers according to their length. both the
Nile and the Yangtse Kang must be named be-
fore the Amazon. The Niles 1000 miles of
waterway from its headwaters south of Lake
Victoria to the Mediterranean make it the longest
river in the world, nearly as long as the Missis-
sippi and Missouri together, and about 1000
miles longer than the Amazon. The Amazon is
the greatest river in the world, because it has
immense tributaries. some Of them larger than
the Danube or the Rhine, by means of which the
Amazon basin covers area about 1000, 600
square miles greater than that Of any otter
ri-sr The Congo river Is the fourth longest
river in the world, but in the volume of water
that 1t pours into the ocean 1t is second only to
the Amazon.
A very curious thing has been discovered
about the three greatest river basins in South
America-the Orinoco, the Amazon and the
Plata basins. 1t has been found that they are
so connected by watercourses that the traveller
can pass in steamboats, or canoes from one river
system into another He can ascend the Ornoco
river for hundreds of miles until he comes to the
Cassaouiari, on which he can travel for about
two hundred miles to the Rio Negro, one of the
largest tributaries of the Amazon, Floating
down to the Amazon, and then descending that
river for some distance, he can ascend the great
Madeira tributary. In it's upper course he can
turn into the Mamore, then into the Guapore,
then into the little Allegro river. Here as is
often done, he can haul his canoe over low,
grassy fat about two miles wide and launch it
into the Rio Agoapehy, and then descend by the
Jauru and Paraguay to Buenos Ayres and the
Plata river. The Allegro and Agoapehy rivers,
head streams of two mighty systems, flow side
by side for twenty or thirty miles, and many of
their branches are separated By few hundred
yards
Mr.. Wells, the engineer whom Brazil has en-
ployed for years in its railroad surveys says that
in many places the basin of the Amazon could
easily be connected with that of the Plata river
Dy canals, and communication by water would
thus be rendered complete from one system to
the other.
