ARID LANDS.
Points in the Forthcoming Report of sta
tIstician Dodge.

Points in the Forthcoming Report of sta
tIstician Dodge.
WASHINGTON, Sept 20-Mr. Dodge, the
statistician of the Agricultural Depart
ment, who has just returned from trip
10 the arid lands of the West, has pre-
pared a statement in regard to the re-
claimation of lands in the arid region,
which will appear in the September re-
ports. This refers to the transitions in
progress W 5ich mark the advance of rural
science and practice in the mountain re-
g.on. 1t shows how 200 miles of "desert"
beyond the Tooth meridian are being
carved into productive farms without the
aid of irrigation. 1t does not claim an in
crease of rainfall but change of climate.
''The agricultural values of the climate"
Mr. Dodge declares, have increased. In
cultivated districts there is more humid
ity of the atmosphere and dews unknown
before" The erroneous estimate of the
possibilities of production from deficient
knowledge of agricultural meteorology,
misconception of the quality of the soil,
underestimate of the actual rainfall and
want of adaptation of methods to prevail
ing conditions are referred TO at some
length.
Among the new sources or prosperity
found by Mr.. Dodge is the key TO rain
belt" farming, namely, deep plowing,
subsoiling and frequent cultivation, pro-
cesses the very reverse of those practiced
by the pioneer farmer" Among other
tran7itic rs indicated are the removal to
CHER elevations of ranch herds, the i'm
prOvement of farm animals by stra rs OF
the best blood and the tendency TO con-
solidation of the ranch and farm ideas
Irrigation problems are touched upon
and the six principal methods of water
utilization hinted at-the natural rainfall,
irrigation by water, dew locally available,
mountain storage basins; collection and
distribution of underground currents by
galleries and canals. pumping for use IN
stu Of currents and artesian wells. The
feasibility and in xpensiyeness If catch
basins to save the waste OF surface drain
age through the plain is asserted. The
possibility is shown of using to linn ted
extent irrigation waters a second time.

QUEBEC, Can. Sept 20-Last night
large portion of Cape Diamond below the
citidal became detached and, sliding
down. buried a number of houses under q
mass of rock and dirt. Up to 1l:30O'clock,
six dead bodies had been taken from the
ruins, but the total loss of life is not
known. A number of persons more or
less injured, were quickly rescued. 1t
will be hours before any comprehensive
idea of the number of the dead can be
arrived at as some of the houses are under
twenty-five feet of debris.
At the foot of the cliff is a narrow street
which occupies all the space between the
cape and the river. Along the side Of the
steret were houses which were crushed by
the terrible avalanche of rock.

age and large force of men are at work
clearing it away. Several families are
known to have been entombed, and late
estimates place the number killed outright
between twenty five and thirty.
The dead so far recovered are Thomas
Farrell and two of his children, also two
children named Burke and one unknown
child. Farrell's mother-in-law and her
husband are still in the ruins
Two hundred persons have been re-
moved from the debris very badly injured.
Some have broken arms and legs; others
sre badly crushed and mutilated.
The fire brigade and police are on the
ground rendering valuable assistance.
The debris covers the road in a solid mass
for over GO feet in length and from 10 to
% in height. Every one was working hero
ically and under difficulties. as the night
was intensely dark and the electric lights
were rendered useless by the landslide.
Cries of "HelpW "HelpW are heard
from beneath the debris, but none can be
given. Very little progress is being made
in recovering bodies owing to the stupend-
Gus mass of rock covering the ruins.

the cliff left a space under the terrace.

have been taken out 1t will take several

The following anecdote of Henry Clay
has recently been published for the first
time: As be came out of the capitol at
Washington one day, seeing a frightened
woman in the street striving TO ward of
the attacks of sportive goat, he gallantly
seized the goat by the horns. The woman
thanked him aud sped hurriedly on. Mr..
Clay would have liked to move on also,
but the goat had its own views about
the interference. As soon as the wom-
ans deliverer loosed his hold on the two
horns the animal rose majestically on its
hind legs and prepared for a charge.
In his own defense Mr.. Clay now took
the animal, as before, by the horns,
and thus for a time they stood,
while a crowd of street boys gath
cred about immensely amused at the
unusual spectacle of Senator and goat
pitted one against the other in a public
street. As long as Mr.. Clay held the goat
by the horns all was well; but the mo-
ment the Quadruped was free came a
fresh preparation for a charge. Not a boy
offered assistance, but after a while one
yeutured forward to make a suggestion.
Throw the billy down, SIR" Mr.. Clay at
once accepted, and tripping the goat up
essayed to pass on. Before ne could fairly
turn away, however, the goat was up in
lofty preparation for a new charge. Mr..
Clay gave his enemy the floor once more
and turning to his new adviser said: And
what shall do now?" Cut aud run like
the devil" replied the lad

On the morning of August 10 an enor-
nous mass Of earth fell from the mount
aims near the village of Tennokawa,
stopped the course of the river of the
same name and which being already
swollen greatly submerged the village
and drowned nearly all the inhabitants
a number of the villagers belonging to
the Tsujido took refuge in their temple,
which was ON high ground, but when the
landslide occurred about fifty persons
