The trouble that arises so frequently
over the flow OF water through the
Stuck river and White river does not
seem to be entirely without remedy. AS
the matter now stands. while King
county farmers have the best OF 1t, that
cannot be a satisfactory condition OF
affairs which leaves them liable by an
accident to a renewal Of the overfiows.
This subject has frequently been
brought to the attention Of the authori-
ties, and the Chamber OF Commerce has
endeavored to cooperate with the
farmers In effecting a satisfactory set
lapse because nothing was required BY
the White river farmers so long as the
water flowed into Stuck river. II has
always been known that very little eff
fort was required to divert the waters
and 1t is said that a Waterman has had
TO be kept on guard against blasting by
the farmers in the Stuck valley. It is
absurd that such watchfuiness should
be required. but what Is even worse, 1t
Will be unwise to make any valuable
improvements along White river valley
so long as the feeling exists OF their be-
ing destroyed or damaged In q few
hours. The condition Of suspense alone
is undesirable, yet it is only natural
that the Stuck valley farmers should be
on the lookout at all times for the op-
nortunity which is to relieve them OF
an evil which has simply been trans
ferred 10 them by the good fortune Of
their neighbors along the White river
Henry Hewitt has made a suggestion
which should receive attention. Wheth-
e. his theory is correct or not will re-
qGire some investigation to determine
but il looks feasible His idea is that
the Puyallup should be turned down the
King county side OF the valley OF
course, this will be resisted by our
farmers unless II becomes certain that
the relief Of Stuck valley Is not to he
purchased at their cost 1t is no doubt
true that the silt washing down the
Puyallup has raised up the bed Of the
river and so widened its course The
water comes down with such force at
times that IL might have been expected
10 clear out its own channel, but since
IL has no. done so relief can only be
had by artificial means, Instead OF the
river filling up and raising the country
along its banks year after year. Mr.
Hewitt thinks that by making use of
the fall from the mouth OF the Stuck

rent would keep the channel secured so

and instead Of the cid channel. which

The most magnificent palaces built by man for dwelling places sink into insignifcance when compared with some of the houses constructed by in- sects. An interesting example is the brtckmaker, who lays bricks with the skill of a mason. making Q house Of tiny bricks or pellets laid regularly and so evenly there is no ehinks between them. It makes it's own bricks and lays them up with no help. These brick houses are usually fastened to the leaf of some water plant.
 An insect called the fioscule lives in a glass house which is often found broken ynaturaIists-Whet from the stones of some enemy or not is unknown. The fioscule has a long foot stalk which 1t fastens to q water plant and remains moored the rest of it's life. Il is very sensitive and at the slightest alarm re- treats into it's glass dwelling, When it emerges it seems to be 8 film of smoke at first for there are glasslike flaments attached to its lobed body which search for food in the water which is slowed beneath the insect in it's queer trans parent home.

IS NOW ALMOST OBSOLETE.
The HoecnISe Is Fast Disappearing
 From Southern Tables.

VstA RSAsCEA AAoAGAs
 Most middle-aged persons remember well when corn bread was served upon nearly all tables in the south and west at least twice day. Sometimes 1t ap- peared in the form of "hoeeake" or batter bread" and again in "pones." It was par excellence the bread of the negro, and every man who served in the Confederate army was also . full graduate in the use of it. Now the darlSies esehew it where wheat bread is to be obtained, and upon the tables of thousands of southern and western whites it never appears at all, while others continue to use it only for din her.
 Now why Is this? Surely corn meal is as it ever was. Those who sincerely. but probably mistakenly, believe that "Yater-ground'' meal is better than the product of mills turned by steam can always find a supply of that in most cities, and it is common enough in the country. There is no trouble about the meal; but we douRt whether the art of cooking it has bean preserved. The high-toned colored damsels who are turned out by our public schools are not the adopts that our old Aunt Di- nahs and Aunt Pe8gys were. No self respecting pan of dough would be con- jured into shape by such unskilled hands And then we may seriously doubt whether corn bread can be cook ed in a stove as well as in an open tire- place.
 The Indians laid their dougheakes between layers of forest leaves or upon the hard ground, and cooked them in the hot ashes. Hence lash cake" very luscious product, indeed, when one has whetted his appetite for 1t by long days hunting. The hoecake was so called because it vas originally baked upon hoe-that e4er-ready- land useful instrument of agriculture which is to be found upon every plantation. But later on cooking utensils were manu- faetured which, took the place of the humble hoe. So, too, shingles were used Whereupon to place the dough while it went through the process of becoming well-done ash cake.

A NOVEL DIVERS SUIT.

Rigid Enough to Withstand Pressure, P1iant
 Enough to Insure Freedom of Action.
 A new diving suit, recently con- strueted by the Gordon Brothers, two Australian engineers, is sufficiently different from diving apparatus of the older type to deserve widespread in- terest.
 The principal innovation consists in the fact that the suit is all in one piece, rigid enough to withstand outside pres sure, while pliant enough to insure freedom of action to the diver The suit consists of a metallic euirass, cov- ering head and body down to the waist, weighing alone over 250 pounds: att tached to the cuirass is a pair of spring steel trousers, made in sections and pli- able, covered on the outside with a very solid and waterproof material. The garment is further strengthened by solid metal rings about the abdo-

Fish Are Easily Tanned.

Small fish, such as Prussian carp and minnows are easily tanned. All that is necessary is to feed them yourself regularly morning and evening, and sit beside them as often as you can so as to accustom them to your presence Small earth worms and eaterpillars are the best food, but be careful not to give many at a time. Gold fish are not so easily tanned
 The great advantage Of this suit IS that the diver need not work under an atmospheric pressure exceeding that on the surface. for the escape of air is provided through floating tube, the valve of which is kept at any height 10 suit the diver. The diver whose pho- tograph is reproduced in our picture went to a depth of 185 feet the first time he tried the new suit and remain ed below for 50 minutes, but felt as well as in thirty feet of water with the old apparatus. This does not necessa- rily mean the limit of the depth for the new apparatus.
