PURE WATER FOR LONDON.
A Grent Lake discovered One Hun
dred Feet Underground.

lfEOHl the Ne" lOfh JOuFhdl-J
London has suddenly found itself in
possession of a cheap and inexhaustible
supply of pure water. the existence of
which it had never suspected.
Walter Mosely, the engineer OF the Lon
don County Council has informed that
body that underneath London is an I'M
mense lake of pure cold water. in a chalk
basin 2,506 square miles in extent and 100
feet below the surface of the ground.
The annual rainfall that sinks below 10
the lake is at least $50, 900, 600 900 gallons,
which would give daily yield of ! ,065 900 :
900 gallons.
1t is believed that the discovery of this
lake will forever put an end to the old
vexed question of London's water supply.
1t is only necessary to sink sufficient
number of deep weels in order to obtain all
the water necessary.
An artesan well has already been sunk
to this lake at Chaplain, near London. and
is producing a daily yield of a million
gallons.
1t seems strange that London should
have existed for more than two Thousand
years and never discovered that there
was a great lake beneath it.
The discovery Of this lake brings a So
luton to question which has been dis
tressing London terribly of late. The
greatest city in the world has a very in
adequate water supply. 1t is furnished
by certain private companies, cCnspi uou
among which is the New River Company.
which was organized in the reign Ct
James l, about three hundred years ago.
These companies charge exorbitaGt
rates and give very poor supp y \
fourth of a share in the New River Com
pany is worth about $4,000. The water
companies have hitherto exeItei trent II
d0us influence through their shsrstcl Iers
in Parliament, but the new and demo
cratic county council has put who e.
some fear into them. 1t now seems that
their last hour has come.
Last year the vast East End of London
suffered from q water famine. and in con-
sequence there was a danger of an out
break OF all kinds of dreadful diseases.
Only good luck averted the catastrophe
The county council then decided that it
would have TO settle the water question
once and for all. 1t planned to carry the
water supply to London from the hills on
the border OF Wales. about 200 miles away.
This would have been the greatest engi-
neering undertaking of its kind in the
world and would have cost more than a
hundred million dollars.
Now comes the announcement that an
inexhaustible reservoir has been found but
a hundred feet beneath London.
The county council Will soon sink it's
wells. and there will be little expense in
the undertaking.

Captain Pendlebury had suffered with
this disease for over two years. The OBJ
struction to the flow OF water was so great
that it interfered with his duties. and he
was a constant sufferer day and night
While reading the New York Journal he
saw the fact published that a business firm
in Boston had remedy called Solvent
Alterans that would positively cure en-
largemeni of the prostate gland. and the
best thing about the treatment was this
that it was painless: was absolutely with
out danger to the patient he could work
all the time: no knife or surgical instru-
ment would be needed at all.
When a man is as bad as the captain
was he certainly would do just as he did !;
he obtained the remedy at once. The cost
was only triilnE in comparison with the
results. His report is as follows Il used

EEiIIcf as Cow Feed.

In our experience with millet of all
varieties and also including Hungarian
grass. says The American Cultivator,
they are more generally used as feed
for horses than for COWS. The millet
is allowed to get too ripe to make
good COW hay, as it's stalks after the
seed is fully formed lose much of their
juicinesS. making them easier to cure,
but also lessening their value for feed
ing. The late cutting Of millet for
horses is to secure the better develop
ment of the grain. Horses are very
fond Of millet seed and like it best
when quite ripe and it's succulence has
turned into starch. While the horse
will fatten when fed ripe inillet it can
not be considered an economical ra-
ton. as after devouring the heads and
some Of the leaves most Of the stalk
will be left in the manger uneaten.
There is greater weight of fodder
to leave millet until the grain gets in
the dough stage before cutting it. but
for feeding cows millet should not be
allowed to head out at all. 1t is not so
good as cornstalks. even when cut as
hay before the stalk has formed. pro-
eided the cornstalks have been allow
ed to attain their highest succulence
The superior sweetness of cornstalks
over millet gives them an advantage
for feeding COWS. as sugar is always
more easily digested than the starch.
though the latter. if analysed. may
show an equal nutritive value In
practice the sweet food will give the
best results. because it is eaten with
greater pleasure. and therefore digests
more readily.

TIE DEWEY HOUSE IN WASHINGTON.


Mildred Mclean Dewey transfers all
rights and titles to the property to
George Goodwin Dewey. This is the
property which Monday Admiral Dew
ey transferred to Mrs. Dewey.
In explanation of the transaction
practically completed yesterday a rela-
tive of the Dewey family made this
statement to the Associated Press:
admiral and Mrs. Dewey have trans
ferred to the formers son George
Goodwin Dewey the title to the home
presented to the admiral by the people
Of this country. 1t will continue to be
the home of the admiral and Mrs.
Dewey SO long as he may live.
'It may be desirable now to say
that it was the wish of both the adj
miral and Mrs. Dewey to provide for a
proper succession to the property. The
transfer Of today completes the trans
action begun yesterday, and is the car
rying out only of the original intention
of both the admiral and Mrs Dewey.
By all those interested in the matter
the method of transfer adopted was
considered the best and safest that
could have been adopted. 1t was Mrs.
Dewey's desire that she should release
any claim she might have to the prop
erty through her marriage to the adj
miral, and to do this the transfer was
made through her to the admiraPs son
as soon as was practicable. Through
the method adopted no dispute ever
can arise over the disposition of the

TWO DAYS OF FIGHTING
Reported at Ladysmith, with Heavy Losses
Among the Beers.


London, Nov. 21.-The following is
special from Estcourt, dated yester-
day: ga report has reached here of a
battle at Ladysmith Wednesday, Nov.
Is, lasting from daybreak until 2 in
the afternoon. Many Beers are said to
have been killed and many are report
ed to have been taken prisoners. The
British losses are reported to be much
less.
'Another battle is said to have oc-
Cured Thursday. It is described as
the heaviest yet fought. The Boer
dead number hundreds, while the
British losses were comparatively
small"
The foregoing reports have not been
confirmed. On the contrary the most
reliable advices from Estcourt indicate
that there was nothing more than a
desultOry cannOnade:
London, Nov. 22.-AbOut the only
item of news from South Africa is that
communication between Estcourt and
Durham is interrupted. Otherwise
there is no change down there that the
military authorities are going to let
be known.
Kimberley is still holding out at last
advices; SO is Mafeking. On Nov. Is
Ladysmith was still in the hands Of
the British, who were perfectly conf
dent of their ability to hold the place.

Composition on Breathing.

write all he could about breathing in q
composition. handed in the following:
Breath is made of air. We breathe
with our lungs. our lights. our liver

we would die when we slept. Our

that stay in room all day should not

Frauds by Dealers and breeders.

The quickness with which CONNER
DDS and uses them not only against
science, but against society, for which
science exists. is shown by a fact that
has recently come to light says The
Medical Journal. 1t is known that
after an injection with tuberculin cat
tie will not show a second fever reac-
ton within a period of several weeks.
In order to deceive inspectors and buy
ers. many breeders and dealers have
been practicing the injections weekly
prior to those Of the buyers and in
spectOrs. SO that there is no fever reac-
ton when the real test should show the
existence in the animals Of tubercu-
losis This is really more infamous
than the purchase of the testimonials
by bribery from supposed reputable
psychologists and experts or the
downright forgery of such testimo-
malls, things that have more than
once been proved. The law should
make short shrift for such scoundrels
Another iniquity recently came to light
by means Of a blunder which brought
quick and deserved retribution, but
which also suggests an inquiry as to
the possible number of instances in
which bad results are hidden by a
better technic. At great agricultural
fair large number of valuable Jersey
COWS suddenly died while in the exhibit
ton grounds. Investigation proved
that to give false appearance Of
large bags" milk in quantity had been
injected into the glands. The mala-
droits had failed to sterilize the milk,
and the cows succumbed to sep
ticaemia.

The Buccaneers.

The original ''boucaniers" were a
wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they were generally clothed in
a sunburned and weather beaten skin,
and they wore pantaloons of coarse
linen, dyed and stiffened with the blood
of bulls and pigs and held up by belt
of rawhide, stuck full Of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they car
ried long barreled firelock. loaded
with ounce balls of lead.
They were animated with a common
hatred of the Spaniard, which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per-
son or property. and by a wild sort Of
attachment to each other in their peril
Gus lives, which led to their being
known as the Brethren Of the Coast"
When the Spaniards drove them into
the career of marauders upon the
sea, the word buccaneer took a new
meaning, though they were also known
as freebooters. This was a mOngrel
English word, "buiten" being Dutch
and "bueten" German for plumber. OF
this word the French made ''fribus-
ter" with the silent. and then soften
ed it to "filibustier," which the Span
iards modified into filibustero. So we
finally got the word back, with a new
meaning and a special application as
'flibuster." 1.-THE West Indies" by

MILK FEVER,
New Treatment Explained by
State Veterinarian Pear
SON of Pennsylvania.

DR.. Leonard Pearson, state veteri-
marian of PENNSYLVANIA, in an article
on milk fever and it's treatment, says:
1.-TWO years ago a Danish veterina-
rian suggested that milk fever may be
a poisoning of the animal due to the
absorption from the udder Of abnor-
NAL substances produced there under
certain conditions. It Is known that
by the fermentation of certain organ
ic substances poisonous compounds,
known as ptomaines, may be produced.
These sometimes develop in sausage,
cheese, ice cream, preserved meat, ETC.,
and in such cases produce illness when
eaten. Such poisonous substances are
the product Of bacterial action. 1t has

takes considerable skimmilk, as can be
seen, and the field for this new prod
uct of skimmilk is hundredfold wild

the manufacture of oilcloth, book COW
ering. combs, penholders, buttons, bill

which either celluloid or hard rubber
is now used-and it has many advan-
tages Of it's own. 1t will not dissolve
or be affected by water and is not in
f1ammable, which is such a serious OBJ
lection to celluloid. The company
which will manufacture this product is
now looking around for suitable locali-
ties to establish plants where skimmilk
can be secured in quantities.

Alvord, "just what effect this will have
on dairying and milk producing. do
not think it will result in any startling
advantage to the dairymen, as it is
probable that as good results can be
attained from feeding skimmilk ju-
diciously on the farm as through SELL
ing it at the prices which will proba-
bly, be offered by the manufacturers
of this product. 1t may be, however,
that the cost of production Of the ar
ticles to be manufactured will be so
reduced and their quality so excellent
as to warrant the payment of a fair
price for the skimmilk. One class of
material which can probably be made
from this substance better than from
any other is electrical insulators.
which would be in no manner affected
by electrical currents. The other
skimmilk constituents besides the
casein will also be utilized. The sugar
