CHILDREN OF THE SEA.
The Family of Capt. Carson OF the
Manx Ship Manx King.


From the Portland Oregonian
That cut Of family Of four children
three should be born at sea, and on one
Ship is remarkable occurrence, which,
taken into consideration with the fact
that the only child of the family born
ashore did not live to be a week old, makes
1t more so. The children are those of Cap
tain ard Mrs Carson. and they first saw
the light of day in the cabin of the Manx
ship Manx King
Captain Carson's family consists of two
sons and one daughter-Tom, Jack and
Teresa. Tom. the eldest living child, was
born on the Pacific ocean, about 800 miles
of the coast Of Chile, but the exact 'lati-
tude and longitude was never determined
other than by approximation, as the sky
had been overcast for several days prior
to his birth. On May 3, 1888. the arrival of
the young sailor was becomingly celebrated
by the officers and crew Of the ship.
Teresa was born In the storm center Of
the most dreaded coast In the world, al
most OF the peak of Cape Horn, on March
"A. 1891. when the Manx King was in lati-
tude 54.42.16 south, longitude 1854 west.
When the ship was laboring heavily in a
living gale the little stranger made her
appearance. When she was about ten
days old the ship, then In the South At
ianttc. encountered hurricane and was
thrown on its beam ends. and sat so low
that the seas came In through the cabin
skylights, completely flooding the cabins.
The ship was soon got on an even keel and
reached its destination without any further
mishap. and with both mother and child
In excellent health.
Jack was born December "a. 1892, In
the North Atlantic ocean. in latitude 4.l0
north. longitude 24-31 west. The weather
when Jack first came int6 the world was
all that could be desired, and the noble
ship. with it, precious living freight, was
bowling along under all sail at about four
teen knots an hour.
All Of the children enjoy remarkably good
health. and at sea, no matter how hard the
gales may blow, these children Of King

Henry George a. a Fin.ncier.


The panic year of 1898 gave him an op-
portLLity to apply In practice his financial
theories and to illustrate happily for his
friends the iriquity Of his private owner
ship Of land and public franchises. The
proprfetors of some large manufactures
In small town were about to shut down,
as money was not to be had. This would
have thrown many men out Of employment
and lost to a proportion OF them their
homes, partly paid for. On the advice of
Mr.. George the employers deposited gov
eminent bonds. securities resting ON the
good faith OF the government, with New
York trust company. The latter then is
sued certificates against these bonds in de-
nominations of from II to 80. The men
accepted the certificates as notes for their
wages. the merchants OF the place took
them a. notes for their goods. Six <20.0O0
blocks Of these certificates were issued and
went into circulation. the factories were
kept going. nobody lost and Mr.. George
claimed triumph for mar money.

Herald was unaware that there was any
margin for difference of meaning in the
use Of the term artesian water; among
people of ordinary intelligence and com
mon information. We certainly in re
ferring to the flow secured at Greenville
and elsewhere in the Delta used the ex
preston in no other sense than that our
respected mentor states; that it came
from source remote from and higher
than, the well mouth was tapped at
depth below and impervious to sip
age and contamination from the surface.
The thousands of good people of Green
vile have been living and laboring UNI
der the impression that they have Sc
cured such water; although they did not
bore through the bed rock" Nor do
we understand that the drill penetrated
bed rock at Greenwood and Itta Be
ma, though flows some feet above the snr-
face were secured there. Under the
somewhat dogmatic ipse dixit of Major
T. G. Dabney, our friends in those towns
may now drop the delusion he expresses,
and realize that they are still drinking
sipage water; unless they hold with
previous authorities, who do not state
that .artesian water lies below bed
rock" under all geologic conditions, but
is sometimes reached beneath impervi
GUS clays. 1t was either such strata If
we remember correctly of $50 feet thick
ness, that Greenville found a water rel
atively free, as shown by chemical tests,
from impurities. Such clay is even
more impermeable to sipage than rock
The editor of the Herald was finally i'm
pressed with 'the significance of the
achievement of artesian wells in the
Delta, years ago. And on number OF
occasions in the past, descanted in print
on its value to the health and comfort
of the inhabitants of that greatly favof
ed section. But we do not regard it as
revelation OF science for if we are not
in error, Prof. Hilgard announced the
existence near forty years ago, of sub.
terranean flow from the hills, beneath
the Delta. --Vibksburg Herald.

Wants a Magazine.

The Clarksdale Challege says With
the Jeffersonian, we agree that Misgis-
sippi needs magazine Of forceful
thought, wherein her best writer's
could give expression to their views
and not be limited as to length, as is
necessary in a weekly newspaper, and,
also, that the editor of the Common
wealth has all the requisites to success
fully conduct such periodical. Al
though the mass of literature talents
and attachments existing in our coun-
try is claimed by the east and justly SO,
perhaps, we are not disposed to grant
that section an entire monopoly of brain
power. Either from dii1idence or lack
of encouragement and possibly appreci,
alton the able writers Of our own state
are not gaining the places that are
theirs by inheritance of mental strength
and intellectual vigor, in the ranks of
the country's thinkers.
10th confidence in their own resources,
ali confidence in the sympathy of
IL .ir compeers is needed for the devel
opment of this latent strength, and we
believe, so thoroughly is the press Of
the state in harmony both of purpose
and action, that its entire influence
would bend in the direction of making
such an enterprise permanent success
financially not less than literary and ar
tistic. Let us, in justice to our state
and in defense of her talent, agitate
this subject.

Artesian Water.
70 the Editor Of the Herald.

To the Editor Of the Herald.
In your comments today on the ar
tesian well at Clark sdale, you ascribe
no Significance to the achievement as
being a solution of the artesian well
problem in the Yazoo basin, saying that
such wells already exist at Greenville,
Greenwood and other places in the
delta region. Well that depends upon
the meaning of the term artesian water.
This expression is generally applied to
water which comes from source re-
mote from the locality where the well
is bored, and higher than the surface of
the ground in that vicinity, affording a
head, which produces flow Of wa
ter from the top of the well. While
Greenwood and Itta Bena. situated not
far from the margin of the basin, ap-
pear to have found such water in abund
ance and at comparatively moderate
depths, the water supply of Greenville
is not artesian water in the above sense,
but is basin water that has penetrated
down from the surface OF the ground,
or the channel of the Mississippi river,
and is presumably more or less impreg.
mated with matter taken up from the
alluyium through which it has percol-
ated. IT is evident that artesian water
in the sense here used, can not be OBJ
tanned in the delta except by penetrat-
ing through the alluvial deposit and
the bed rock underneath, and since the
depth Of the alluvium in the interior of
the Yazoo, basin, Is unknown, except
where it has been ascertained by actual
boring, and since the obtaining of such
water in this region within practicable
depths. is fraught with immensely ben
efcial consequences to the inhabitants,
the fact that a successful boring has
been made at point so remote from
the hills as Clarksdale, and good flow
ing water reached at a depth of si5
feet, has, | think, an important signif-
cence for the future Of the delta conn
try. as well as scientific interest in
defining limit to the depth Of the al
lnvial deposit to the locality Of Clarks-
dale. II is probable that MIR. Clarks
success in this enterprise will give an
impetus to similar efforts throughout
this part OF the Yazoo basin.
Respectfully.

water and gave startling signs OF cap
