Rain and Drain Gauges.

The largest rain gauge ever made
is probably that used by Sir J. B.
Lawes and DR.. J. II. Gilbert at their
experimental farm at Rothamsted.
Its area is one-thOusandth of an acre.
The funnel is of wood lined with
lead, the upper edge being a vertical
rim Of plate glass beVeled outward.
A tube conducts the water in turn
into four iron cylinders, and finally
into an iron tank, each of the cylin-
ders being provided with a infinitely
divided gauge tube and holding rain
corresponding to One-half inch of fall,
and the tank containing an amount
equivalent to two inches of fall. At
this famous farm are also used three
drain gauges, each one-thousandth of
an acre in area. They show the
amount and the composition of the
water percOlating respectfully through
twenty, forty, and sixty inches OF
soil. Observations with these in
struments for the twenty harvest
years ending August 81, 1890 give the
following results: Mean annual rain.
fall, 1929 inches; drainage through
twenty inches of uncropped soil, lab
inches; through forty inches, 49,
inches. and through sixty inches
1851 inches. The difference between
the percolatiOn and the total rain
fall shows approximately the evapor-
alton above each depth.

probably see a few verses by William
Haskell Simpson. He wrote great
many beautiful things in those days
lullabyes, cradle songs and dainty
rondeaux and triolets. Eugene Field
was SO pleased with these rhymes that
he wrote many pleasant letters to their
author. To-day you don't see any ofthe
verses IN the papers and you wonder
why. Should you happen in at the
Santa Fe passenger department and ask
Mr.. Simpson, he would reach across the
pile OF correspondence before him and
hand you the picture OF sweet faced
woman and two little tots. He would
tell you when he got home tired from
his work their voices were sWeeter In
his ear than all the muses.. And you
would not wonder any more. 70 come
down to the prosaie, the Santa Fe edito-
rial passes this year are pink. MIR.
Simpson certainly did not have voice
in the selection of that color. Mr..
Nicholson, who is brunette, may have
chosen it.
North Topeka item: Saturday morn
ing early an old gentleman named Gard
ner Mcclellan, died of old age at his
residence on this side. Sunday night at
about z O'Clock his aged wife followed
him. Mr.. Mcclellan was SO years old
and his wife YVES s5 years of age. She
had been quite feeble ever since fall
she had last summer, and had frequent
ly stated that she was ready to die, but
was waiting for her husband. When he
was found dead in his bed she gave up
at once, and it was apparent that she
would soon follow him, and yesterday
afternoon the double funeral Of husband
and wife occurred. The services were
held at the Kansas Avenue M. E. church
at 2. O'Clock, Rev. G. w. Browning Off
ciating. Many old friends and neigh
bors of the aged couple attended the
funeral and followed the two hearses to
the Rochester cemetery, where the in
terment took place. The scholars of
Grant school brought several boquets Of
flowers to school and sent them over to
the house just before the funeral Oc-

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Harper Advocate: It is now evident
that the NJ. E. church at Crystal will be
one of the nobbiest churches in this
country when completed.
Delphos Republican: Rev. L. s..
Cooper, of Topeka, conducted revival
meetings at the Wesleyan church at
Lamar for two weeks, with his usual
success. Mr.. Cooper was a former resi-
dent Of that place and still owns farm
there. The Rev. is an excellent talkeI
and is esteemed by all who know him.
Emporia Republican: As organist at
the Lutheran church during the last two
years, Miss Cora Hill has worked sue
cessfully and efficiently. She was re-
membered by the congregation and
Sunday school. In neat speech John
Hotter presented her with a complete
set Of Chambers Encyclopedia, much to
the lady's surprise and pleasure. It is
needless to say she prizes the token very
highly.
At Kansas City, Kan, six of the evan
gelical churches, the Third Baptist,
Washington Avenue NJ. E. church, First
Congregational, Central Christian, and
JIG LISb Z IS6D I6Ilau nave DeRun
union revival at the First Presbyterian
church, which is expected to continue
for about a month. Meetings will be
held nightly and morning meetings are
also to be held. The meetings are evan
gelical and free from sectarianism. The
meetings are controlled by the pastors
of the Evangelical alliance.
Harper Advocate: The dedication
services at the NJ. E. church were large
ly attended, the house being filed to its
utmost capacity. The dedication ser
mon was delivered by President Phillips
of the Winfield college, and was an able
one. At the conclusion of the services
proper a collection was taken up to meet
the cost of the new addition and other
improvements, resulting in subscrip-
tons aggregating over $500, or more
than enough to meet all demands. Rev.
Mckinney deserves great credit for his
energy in securing to Harper churC b
commodious enough to accommodate
the large congregations usually attend
ing. The NJ. z. church building is now
a credit to Harper city and county.

AIeat-Mallng in the United States.

Meat Is a manufactured product
for which large amount Of raw ma
terial is required. The manufacture
of meat is a process of Transforming
the vegetable protein, fats, and car
bohydrates OF grass and grain into the
animal protein and fat of beef, pork
and mutton. The same principle ap-
plies in the production of milk, eggs,
and other animal foods. In the most
economical feeding Of animals it takes
a number of pounds of hay or corn to
make a pound of beef or pork. In
other words, let the farmer make an
imal protein and fat from vegetable
materials in the best way he can, and
still he must consume a large quanti-
ty Of soil-product to produce a small
amount of animal food. Hence ami
NAL foods are cOstlier than Yegeta-
bic. This is the simple explanation
of the fact that in most parts of the
world meat is the food of only the
well-to-do while the poor live almost
entirely on vegetable food. Thus Or
binary people in Europe eat but little
meat, and in India and China they
have none at all. 1t is hard enough
for them to get the nutriment they
need in vegetable forms. Meats they
cannot afford.
But Matchmaking in the United
States to-day is far more wasteful than
ii need be, on account of the exces-
sive fairness of our means. This
comes about very naturally. We
have a great excess of soil-product in
the valleys of the Ohio and the Mis-
sissippi and on the ranches of the
West. At present the pOrk-maker
and the ranchman convert a, large
portion Of this into very fat meat.
The pork-producers of the great corn
growing States select the breed OF
swine, which, as they say, will take
the most corn to MARKET" and have
thus got into the way of growing ami
mails that are little less than masses
of fat. The beef growers of the West
ern ranches, and those in the East
as well, produce excessively fat meat.
Part of the fat is trimmed out Of the
meat by the butcher, part is left on
our plates at the table to go to the
sOap-man or garbage-barrel, and part
is eaten. Unfortunately very many
Of US eat much more fat, both
in meat and butter, than is needed
for nourishment, and thus do injury
to our health.-Century.
