0O,O00,000 Arid Acres.

The land area of the United States,
exclusive of Alaska, by the last census,
covers 1857 ,493 square miles, or l.
S62, 1875 ,52O acres. Nearly half of this
lies west of the Tooth meridian, which
has long been set down as the general
boundary line between arid land, that
needing artificial irrigation and that
receiving sufficient rainfall for cult.
waited crops. AS recently shown in
the Prairie Farmer, there is good
deal of soil west of this meridian that
belongs to the latter class. Taking in
those portions along the coast, in Ore.
gon and Washington Territory and
other local regions, which have abun.
dant rainfall, there are certainly not
less than the odd 92,OOO,OOO acres not
to be counted as arid. This explana.
ton makes clear the following:
In paper read before the American
Society OF Civil Engineers, at its recent
meeting in Denver, Mr.. Walter H.
Graves, c. E., estimates the arid region
of the United States at nearly half its
entire area, or in round numbers about
9OO,OOO,OOO acres. OF this he reckons
2SO,OOO,OOO acres as arabic land; that
is, land capable of being redeemed and
utilized. Of these about 32,OOO,OOO
acres have been already redeemed and
converted into farming land by the art
of irrigation-equal to 100000 of So
acre farms-capable of supporting a
population of 100000. In his enthu.
siam he says, and perhaps truly: " The
redemption of the $50 900 900 acres OF
arabic land is only question of time,
the factors being capital and engineer.
ing" And this amount, he says,
"means prosperous homes for $4,000,
600 farming people"

AN ORIGIN OF VEGETATION-One OF
the Portland papers few days ago ex.
pressed surprise that half a bushel OF
ivy vines had grown from half-gallon
flower-pot without any diminution Of
the soil therein, and asked where the
fiber and tendril came from. A young
scientist answers the reporter in the
following language: "This growth
was elaborated from the carbonic acid
of the atmosphere, sent out from the
millions of fires and furnaces and
chimneys OH the earth, and countless
myriads of human lungs. Although
carbonic acid constitutes but one two
thousandth part of the whole air, Pro.
fessor Dalton computes that there are
rather more than thirty tons of it
above each acre of ground. If this
should be concentrated into tangible
form, like so much coal or sand, we
should begin to form some notion OF
the amount of material dissolved in
the air"

" Bob" and - Alf."

Bob" Taylor and ALI" Taylor are
model brothers. They are both candi-
dates for Governor of Tennessee.
Bob" is running on the Democratic
ticket and "Alf" is running on the
Republican ticket. They are canvass
ing the State together. The white
rose is symbolical OF Democracy and
the red rose represents Republicanism
If you see a Tennessean with a white
rOso you may rest assured that his
whole mind and purpose is bent on
electing Bob" Governor. Likewise
if you see one with red rose he il
equally devoted to "Alf." Large
crowds of people meet the brothers
everywhere they go. They are both
good violinists and are often called
upon to amuse the people on their
electioncering tour by joining in a
piece of music on the fiddle. They
have just completed their canvass OF
East Tennessee, where the Republi-
cans are largely in the majority.
Here Republicans were disposed, as
is usually the case with those in the
majority, to annoy "Bob," and even
went so far as to be discOurteous to
him, al but Cali" intcrfered and ted
them that Bob" was his brother and
that he could not remain silent when
he was mistreated. When thev EN-
tered on their canvas in West Tcnnes-
see the other day, where the Demo-
Gratis are in the majority, some of them
were disposed to guy" ALL" the Re
publican candidate, but Bob" the
Democrat, came forward and told the
audience, and especially the unman-
nerly Democrats, that an insult to his
brother was an insult to him, and that
if "Alf" were not treated with due
courtesy they would both leave the
field. The campaign is remarkable
one on account of the relationship of
the candidates and the peculiar fra
ternal esteem in which they hold each
other.

Handicapped by Civil Service.

The Democrats at Washington have
been getting out a campaign book" /"
Before it was published nearly all the
chiefs of bureaus in the departments
promised to subscribe for a dozen or
more copies each, and the committee
fully expected to sell at least 5000
copies i'll the District. Since the pub
lication Of the work, however, the pro-
misses to buy have not realized at all
well. What is troubling the com
mittee now is how they are going to
raise the money to pay for the pub
lication of the book and the salaries of
the clerks employed in sending out
Democratic literature. While the
book was being edited a prominent
Democrat promised to pay ST 900 for
the privilege of one page of the book.
He was asked what he desired to
write. He said: al only want to
write one line to be printed on one
page. 1t shall be good Democratic
campaign material" The proposition
was accepted, and the next day the
gentleman presented a certified check
on Riggs & Co.'s bank for 81 900 and
a slip of paper upon which was written
in bold hand: "To the victors be
long the spoils."
The member of the committee look
ed at the check, then at the sentence,
scratched his head, returned both to
the giver, saying: "I agree with you,
but cannot accept your proposal" The
prominent Democrat tore up both
check and paper upon which the ia
nous matter was written, and walked
out of the cOmmittee-room.

Jaw GOuld's PRAYER,

Our father, who art in England
Rothschilds be thy name, thy finan-
cial kingdom is America; thy will be
done in the United States as it is in
England. Give us this day our bonds
in gold, but no silver; give us plenty
of laboring mems votes to keep the
monopolists in power and their friends
in Office. We know, our father, we
have done many things wrong; we
know it was wrong to refund the bonds
and make them payable in coin; we
know it was wrong to demonetize sill
yer; we know it was wrong to water
our railroad stocks, but thou knowest
we made money by that. Now, our
father, thou knOwest We are above pol
itics. 1t is the same to us whether
the Democrats or the Republicans rule,
for thou knowest we are able to sway
all political jobs in our favor. Lead
us not into the way of strikers, but de-
liver us from the hands of the insane
Knights of Labor. Thus shall We have
the kingdom, bonds, interest, power
and gold till the republic shall end.

FiddleS for FirewOOd.
From the Tagliche Rundschau.


When Ole Bull, the renowned vio-
linist, was staying in Paris in 1910 he
returned home late one evening from
concert, and as the night WAS cold he
ordered his man to make fire in his
room. The latter dragged toward the
fireplace huge box, on which the
word d" Firewoodw was painted in large
letters. In answer to Ole Bulls aston
ished inquiry the servant told him that
the box had been delivered that day
at noon by his masters orders, as he
thought. On being broken open the
box was found to contain twenty two
violins and the following letter:
"Great Master: The undersigned,
being members of various amateur
philharmonic societies, hereby declare
that they will henceforth cease to per-
form on the accompanying instru-
ments. The same wood from which
Ole Bull can draw life, sorrow, pas
sion, and melody, is only to be regard
ed as fuel for the flames in the hands
of the undersigned, who therefore re-
fore request the maestro to make an
duto-dd.fe of the enclosures, and to
look upon the ascending smoke as in
cense offered to his genius by penitent
dabblers in the noble art" This cur
ious epistle bore the signatures Of
twenty-five young men. Three days
afterward Ole Bull gave dinner to
which he invited all the senders of the
valuable " firewood." Each guest had
lying before him on the table one of
the violins referred to, and by its side
gold ring with the inscription 1" Soil
tude and Perseverance"-a piece of
seasonable advice TO the fain.-hearted
dilettante, and symbolic indication
Of the means by which the virtuoso
himself had attained to fame.

The members of the Government
survey, who were sent to make investi-
cations of the late earthquake on the
southeastern coast, have discovered
that the cOnvulsiOns extended over an
area of 100000 square miles, which is
little less than one-third of the en-
tire area Of the United States, and it is
estimated that the shocks traversed
the entire distance IN quarter of an
hour. 1t is thought that some new
and important facts concerning earth
quakes have been discovered, but un-
less they tend to reveal the cause and
cure for these terrible canvulsions or
lead to greater accuracy in foretelling
their occurrence than has attended
the prophecies of Wiggins and others,
these surveys can do very little to al
lay the fears of the people in the af-
flicted regions or to restore to them
their ruined or damaged property.

Oceans of Beer.

Consul Tanner, of Chemnetz, reports
to the Secretary OF State that the beer
production of Germany in 1885 was
l ,lOO,OOO,OOO gallons, enough to form
Il lake more than one mile square and
six and half feet deep, or it would
make running stream as large as
some OF our rivers. He says the con-
sumption of intoxicants in Germany
per head is four times as great as in
the United States, yet there are a thou
sand persons drunk in the United
States to ten in Germany. The differ
erencc arises largely, he says, if not en-
tirely, from the manner of drinking in
vogue i'll the countries. "This science
of drinking" he writes, consists SIM
ply in tardiness of drinking. All
drinks are taken sip by sip, half or
three-quarters of an hour being con-
sumed for glass of beer. This is SO
simple that one is liable to be ridiculed
for laying stress upon it, and yet on
this one point hinges, in my opinion, a
question of vast Importance to Ameri-
cans. By this manner of drinking the
blood is aroused to greater activity in
SO gradual a manner that there is no
violent arrangement of the animal
economy. BY slow drinking, the Ger
man accomplishes the object of drink
ing, and gives his animal economy a
chance to say, Hold, enoughp which
only slow drinking will do" Mr.. Tan
ner says that since his arrival in Ger
many he has his first glass of water
to see drunk"

A CHILDREN's PARK.-A San Fran

A CHrLDREN's PARK-A San Fran
cisco dispatch says that the Park Com
missioners have given up the idea of
the erection of a magnificent gateway
at the entrance to the Golden Gate
Park with the legacy of $4,000 left by
Senator VIM. Sharon. They propose
instead to establish children's park,
which will be situated in one of the
most picturesque parts of the ground.
Among the features of the proposed
park will be fine breed of milch
cows, whose product is to be furnished
free to children; swings, flying horses,
lawn tennis grounds and many other
attractions. When the park is COM
pleted it will be called Sharon park, in
honor and to the memory of the man
who made so liberal a donation. The
commissioners have $68,OOO in their
possession to carry on the work, the
estimated cost of which will be about
100000.

One of the forest curiosities of the
Isthmus of Darien and lower Central
America is the matapalo or "tree-

upon the trunks of large forest trees
and, owing to its marvellOusly rapid
growth, soon reaches the lower

branches, and also aerial tendrils
which, as soon as they reach >the
