Extinction of the Beaver.

The beaver Is now almost extinct IN
southwest Missouri, where once the in.
dustrlous and cunning animal could be
found IN every stream. The presence
OF this Interesting creature, whose fur
has always been so much priced
throughout the world, caused the early
settlers Of the Ozarlls to give its name
to many streams that feed White river.
South .of Springfield the creeks We're
full OF beavers a generation ago. and
now ana then survivor of the disap-
pearlng family may still be found, but
trappers have ceased to expect such a
desirable catch. The otter has also
about vanished from the waters of this
country, and Springfield fur dealers
make a special display of a hide when
they secure one.-Sprlngaeld (AIo.)

WATER FROM SAND DUNES,
Curious Source of supply Along the
teacOast of Holland,


Consul Corey. of Amsterdam In the
July Consular Reports. makes the GU.
rous statement that the water supply
of that city Is being obtained from the
sand dunes bordering the sea in the
vicinity The dunes consist of sand
blown up into ridges from the beach.
having height near HARLEM of about
twenty feet and width of about two
and half miles. The fresh water they
contain Is supposed to come chiefly
from the rainfall. Not only Is the water
In the dunes fresh above sea level. but
1t Is perfectly fresh also to depth of
sixty-six feet below the sea level, The
water in the immediate neighborhood
Is salt. 1t is held by some persons that
the sand in some way renders the sea
water fresh. but 1t Is more intellIgiblc
to find the source of the fresh water of
the dunes In the rainfall.
Be the cause what 1t may the dunes
are a vast reservoir of fresh water.
which Is being collected for Amstcr.
dam by means of stoneware pipes thir.
teen feet beneath the surface and by
means Of open canals. For Haarlcm
the water Is collected in wells fifty.fivc
feet below sea level. There Is some
doubt. however. as to the pernancncy
of the supply IL too largely drawn upon.
Wells sometimes give fresh water for a
while and afterward turn salty. The
occurrence Of fresh water on small low
Islands and on sandy beaches has long
been a curious problem upon which
the waterworks of Amsterdam may
throw some light.-Baltlmorc Sun.

MEXICAN CATTLE.
Held Up on the Southern Border of
Arizona.

Arizona.
There are 1000 head of Mexican
cattle at Naco, four miles south Of Don
Luis, near Bisbee, the principal ship
ping point of the Arizona IL South
Eastern railroad, knoc king for admis
ton to the United States. The fact
that they are there is of interest to
the cattlemen OF Phoenix and the Salt
River valley for two reasons. One is
that if they are kept there and pre-
vented from reaching the Calitorni.
mlrket, for which they wore intended,
the demand for Arizona cattle will be
maintained and prices vi be kept up.
The other is that their detention is an
ohj ct lesson proving the danger to
Arizona cattle interests, only averted
by the enforcement of wise sanitary
measures.
The story of the case is long one,
but briefly it is as follows: Messrs. b.
A. Packard, J. V. Vickers of Tomb
stone, and Vail IL Gates lately bought
the Turkey Track range of cattle i'll
sonora, in ending to prepare the cattle
for tie California market They had
1000 head ready and there seemed to
lie no obstruction to their admission
a ross the quarantine line. An agent
OF the agri, ultural d. partment came
out from Kansas ity and agreed I'M
der certain conditions to let them in.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
tx an en- season between November
Is and January Is, in which cattle
from below the quarantine line might
be brought above without government
inspection. This year there was no
open season fixed, probably for the
reason that it had been resolved to
enforce the dipping process with which
the government had decided to expert
ment. However, permission had been
granted to bring these cattle III not
earlier than December |. When the
entry was ready to be made DIR. Allen,
representing the bureau of animal in
dustry, stationed at Nogales, went to
Naco and after close examination of
a heard of 1000 found single tick
But that has effectually excluded the
herd IS if he had found a million.
They were held up and Mr.. Vickers
has gone to Washington to see about
it. He will no doubt reasonably re-
present that no harm can come from
Their admission There was only one
tick, which in Itself is not threatening.
Beside there was no possibility of the
cattle coming into contact with cattle
this side of the line. They would be
put into cars and would not be taken
out until they should be unloaded in
the slaughter pens of Los Angeles.
1t is not regarded as likely that this
representation will result in the ed
mission of the cattle. The owners will
probably be required to construct ex-
pensi,e dipping tanks and dip them.
In fact It was rumored here yesterday
that the making of the tanks had been
begun. The effect of the process not
so much upon the ticks as upon the is
awaited here with deep interest. 1t
