Much Money Vninly Spent in Looking for
Water-Some Erroneous Beliefs.

Water-Some Erroneous Beliefs.
Underground water is too abundant
in the east to attract much attention,
but in the arid regions of the western
states and Mexico it becomes matter
of the utmost Importance. Areas exist
there as large as New England-for ex-
ample, the Llano Estacado-without
stream or permanent pond upon their
surface, while other areas, aggregating
one-tenth Of this whole country, have
not stream with the volume OF the
Connecticut, and are entirely lacking
IN laterals and springs. Great railway
lines, including. the Southern Pacific,
haul water hundreds of miles for their
engines and have spent millions In the
search for underground water, and the
government has spent large sums in
similar experiments. Most Of these Ell
forts have been the result OF exaEger-
ated expectations whose Donfulfllnent
have resulted in the apathy of the peo-
pie. It was soon learned, according to
the Engineering Magazine. that the
greatest possible use Of surface water,
aided by the best systems of storage,
could lot water a hundre3th part OF
the western area. and popular attention
turned to the underground supply. II
vestigation next showed that artesian
floods could not be obtained every
where.
The laws Of distribution and utiliza-
ton of underground waters are IS sim
pie as those controlling surface distri-
button, but the popular fallacies con-
corning them are appelling-for IN
stance, the erroneous idea that all m
foreground waters flow in streams like

A JEWELED LOAF.

How Bessie's Diamond Broke Pas Tooth
and Cast Suspicion on the Cook.
Ma and the girls are doing the cook
ing at our house this week and dad
and hope they will take vacation
pretty soon, for ma gets cross and the
girls are continually fretting for fear
some fellow will call to take them out
and find them beating eggs or rolling
pie-crust, with their hair full of -four
and their tempers at fever heat.
All this is due to the fact that last
week ma discharged Bridget for steal
ing, although Bridget had never been
known to take anything more than ''a
loaf Of cake for the childer' and was
supposed to be temptation proof.
It happened this way: Bess, the older
of my two sisters, had ring with a
twenty dollar diamond in it that some
fellow gave her long ago and up to date
1t has the call In her affections over the
rest Of her jewelry. One noon she went
up to put on her ring before lunch and
lat ring, which she had left on her
bureau, was missing. Then there was
scene. Everybody hunted for it Bess
suspected every body. Ma wouldn't be-
lieve Bridget had taken it, nor Annie,
our new second girl, because Annie was
highly recommended to her by Mrs.
j, whom ma thinks is about right.
and Bridget had star record for hon
esty.
The second morning after the ring
disappeared pa was munching a slice of
bread. They always cut the bread
thick for him, for he hates thin slices
Suddenly his jaw stopped and he said:
Holy Mosesl I've broken a tooth"
Then lie fshed something out of his
mouth and there was the diamond out
of Bess's ring.
"Well, we all looked at each other
and Bess said fiercely: who mixed
that bread" II suppose Bridget did,"
said ma The outcome of it was Bridget
was charged with stealing the ring and
denied it She admitted mixing the
bread and ma said she must have worn
the ring when she did it. So Bridge.
had to go, despite her protestations.
Next morning the second girl, Annie,
had disappeared and ma found note
on her table which said:
mrs q: took the ring but was a goin to
Give it Back Was playin in the Bread when
Bright was out the kitching and the dimon
dropped Out please Forgive ANNIE '
Accompanying this letter was the
ring, minus the stone.
Well, mas square and she apologized
TO Bridget and tried to get her back but
Bridget wouldn't have it and said she'd
got place where the folks were not SO
suspicious So mas still hunting for
new cook.
This may not seem like a boarding
house story but if you had TO eat the
grub we have for the last week guess

None that think OF Just now. The
fact is, doctor, nearly all of them have
fallen into innocuous desuetude."
Unto what?"
Into the soup. For example, you
said: Early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
But In these days, when nearly every
body is either a burglar or burglee,
hardly anybody can afford to go to bed
early: and as for early rising, If you
should stand here at sunrise you would
see among the early risers few besides
those shivering, red-nosed, impecunious
creatures who have slept in the park
because they couldn't raise the price Of
a bed. Moreover, the doctors tell us
that in the early morning the air is full
of miasna. And as for wisdom, you
yourself acquired much of yours by sit
ting up half of the night studying Cerv-
ants maxims.

jockey share in the winnings and he
pulls the horse. The lady on the silver
dollar is the mother of most OF the good
luck in these times.

members of the Academy of Sciences.
An expedition recently sent out by the
academy through lower California and
Arizona brought back, with a wealth OF
other reptilian curioe, eight of the huge
lizards which abound along the ella
desert, and as it was desired TO keep tire
creatures alive. the whole resident sta ft
of the academy, as well as those anna
teur scientists, DR.. Hardness and Dr.
Behr, have raclSed their ingenuity to
gather food for the monsters Libra
rian Bsssett thought he had solved the
problem when he deserted his musty
books for half a day and speared a
handful of flies, but the lizards could
not be induced to eat them
Assistant Curator Keller saved the
flesh of parrot that had succumbed TO
the high living and late hours of n
neigh boring beer cellar and been sent
as a contribution to the museum, but
the CHA lizards did not fancy raw par
rot Nothing induced the ugly things
TO eat until yesterday, but henceforth
they win be well fed.
Some gulls' eggs that had been lying
about the animal room for an indefinite
time were moved, and in the process
several of them We're placed temporarily
in the box allotted to the ella monsters
Very soon strange sounds came from
the box. and the monsters were seen TO
be trying TO swallow the eggs Their
jaws had not spread enough and they
could not break the shells. At last one
of the eggs was crushed by being rolled
against the side of the box and the
eight lizards scuffied along TO where
the extremely pronounced egg was
smeared.
They stood about the mess, shooting
their long, forl1ed tongues out and into
the egg and then withdrawing them
covered with the highly odorous fluid.
The lizards were happy until the broken
egg had all been transferred 10 the
highly trained ella stomachs: then they
resumed their struggles with the eggs
yet unbroken. Hereafter they will be
given eggs to eat, and if they thrive on
the diet the problem how TO keep them
slive in captivity will have been solved.

Presently the struggling voice gained
