MUST INCREASE FLOW.
Chicago Drainage Canal Is Not Car
rying Enough Water.

Springfield. ILL.,, March 5.-AIexander J.
Jones, a member of the Chicago sani-
tary board has filed with the attorney
general a petition asking that mandamus
proceedings be begun against the sanitary
board to compel them to comply with the
law in regard to the flow of water into the
drainage channel. Mr.. Jones sets up the
law requiring that the flow of water be
maintained at 100000 cubic feet per minute
in the channel, and represents that less
than 100000 cubic feet are being main
tanned He asks that the trustees be COM
PEELED to either remove the Instructions
in the Chicago river or that additional
bitches into the main channel be cut.
Mr.. Jones maintains that the insufficient
volume of water in the channel is detri-
mental to healthful conditions along the
line of the channel, and is not in ac-
cordance with the plain mandate of the
law.

tato and then closing up. The potatoes
are then taken to the field and the IN

punching rod into the ground in a
line between two freshly made mounds.
When the run is found. make an open
ting into it with spade, put piece Of
the poisoned potato into each end of
the run and close the opening. The
mound should be leveled SO that new

Gophers may be trapped by making

so that steel trap can be set in the

Living without Nour,.hm.n,

There seems to be no philosophical
necessity for food. We can conceive Of
organized beings living without nour-
ishment and deriving all the energy
they need for the performance of their
life functions from the ambient me-
dunn. In a crystal we have the clear
evidence of the existence Of a formative
life principle. and though we cannot
understand the life Of a crystal, II ia
none the less a living being. There
may be. besides crystals. other such in.
oividualized. material systems Of be-
ings. perhaps Of gaseous constitution
or composed Of substance still more
tenuous. In view Of this possibility
nay. probability-we cannot apodeictic.
ally deny the existence Of organized
beings on planet merely because the
conditions on the same are unsuitable
1or the existence Of life as we con.
ceive It. We cannot even with positive
assurance assert that some Of them
might not be present here, in this our
world. In the very midst Of US, for their
constitution and life manifestion NAV
be such that We are unable to perceive
them.-Nikola Tesla in Century Maya.
