"What is the population of the
Beers country"
The only figures we have at
hand are these, total for all the
Boer Republics: Area, 62,640
square miles; population, $685.
The census of 1890 gave the South
African Republic a white popula-
tion of 119, 1913, while the native
population was estimated at 566,
600.
"What does the war hinge up
on?"
According to Mr. Chamberlain,
the determination Of England to
obtain for the Uitlanders such
substantial and immediate rep
resentation as will enable them
to secure for themselves the fair
and just treatment which the re-
public by treaty promised them.
The Beers answer that what he
calls fair and just treatment is
tantamount to a surrender by
them to the foreigners, who will
outvote them. This is how they
regard the demand: "The Trans
vaal is struggling for it's very ex-
istence. The danger from the
invasion of miners is as real as if
it were an invasion of armed men;
for it is all one to have your gov
ernment captured by troop of
horse or to have your privileges
taken away by alien voters.

TAKING WATER.

On many of the railroads it is
no longer necessary for train to
stop to allow the engineer to re-
plenish his boilers with water.
All travellers have now become
accustomed to seeing the narrow
troughs, 200 to 400 feet long,
at various dead level points along
the road, and they know that the
strip of water that it contains is
scooped up by the engine as it
speeds over the tracks. But peo-
pie from foreign countries often
ask questions about the water be-
tween the tracks and marvel
when they hear the story about
drinking" the engine on the fly.
What seems a marvellous me-
chanic contrivance is an extreme
ly simple thing. A pipe with a
scoop'end it fastened to the ten
der. 1t is C-shaped, with the top
end pointing into the water tank
and the bottom curled under the
body of the tender. BY a series
of levers this end may be dropped
until it reaches the level of the
ties.
When the engine reaches the
trough the fireman drops the
scoop end, which is 81 inches
high and ~ inches wide into the
trough, into which it sinks dis
tance of about six inches or with
in an inch of the bottom. 1t may
wabble slightly without doing
any harm, because the trough is
twenty four inches wide.
Dropping the end is all that is
done, for the motion of the en-
gine does the rest. The water
rushes into the pipe and thence
into the tank with a rush and
force that suggests to the uniniti-
ated the use of powerful engines.
"The most remarkable thing
about the water-t taking SCOOP"
said railroad official, els the fact
that the speed of the train must
be reduced when the water is
taken on. 1t reaches the bend in
the pipe with such force that if
the train were allowed to go at it's
regular speed the metal would be
seriously strained, so we reduce
the speed to about thirty miles
an hour and have the best re-
suits"
While the engine is passing
over the trough at the rate of
thirty miles an hour it takes up
about 1000 gallons of water
about as much as would be con-
tanned in 100 spirit barrels

John Browns Raid.

Forty years ago Monday night;
October 16, 1859, John Brown
made his historic attack on Har-
per's Ferry. 1t was an exciting
event. The invaders captured
the town late at night. While
John Brown and his raid occupy
a prominent position in American
history, the. average man vaguely
regards the eventas more remote
than it is. The tremendous hap
penings of following years seem
to have shouldered Brown fur

The latest tragedy in Kentucky
is joyously characteristic of some
portions of the State. Two
young farmers who had long had
Il feud met in church on Sunday.
They sat on opposite sides of the
congregation, they joined in all
the devotional exercises, listened
to the sermon, raised their voices
in the hymns, bent their heads in
prayer and patiently waited until
the benediction was pronounced,
when they rose and Immediately
began shooting. One of them
was killed and several members
of the congregation were wound

May Woman Tell Her love?

1t is true it is unconventional
for woman to tell man that she
loves him unless the man has per-
suaded her to make such confess
ion. But is there any good rea-
son why woman should not take
the initiative? Is she any less a
woman for doing so? A shy and
timid man may not know how to
tell a woman that he loves her.
Should the woman, who is o. firm
er faith and stronger mind,
stand halting and waiting for a
confession that may never come?
Why should she suffer in silence?
BY so doing may she not lose the
man who loves her and also the
happiness of a lifetime as well?
