A muddy river betokens one of the
greatest Of rational losses 1t means
that the rich soil, which Jack Frost
and other natural agencies have been
ages in forming is washing away into
the ocean. Tillers Of the land could do
much to prevent the loss by keeping
the ground on hillsides covered with
trees or with sod. It is the cultivated
field on a slant which washes away
most rapidly. 1t is contrary to public
policy, or at least to the welfare of
the future, that the top soil Of such
land should be sent down to the ocean
when It might be yielding grass crops.
Many rivers that are now muddy were
clear before the coming to this con.
tinent Of civilized man.

with n graceful droop from his perch
at the top of the tall pole to the oppo-
site bluff. Could that aid him? AT
the middle Of the valley, one hundred
yards distant, 1t was not more than
eighteen feet above the ground If in
any way he could cross on that frail
span it would sink still lower under
his weight, and he might readily drop
to the soft turf on the western bank of
the river.
An instant later he drove his steel
spurs deeper into the pine pole, and as
he clung with one hand to his un.
steady perch, he hastily unbuckled the
belt around his waist with the free
hand Attached by rivets to this stout
strip of leather was a steel snap from
which by means Of a ring in the han.
die, was suspended his hatchet He
cast the hatchet aside, removed tho
belt, and clasped the steep snap around
the wire. Then, throwing his weight
on belt and snap, and withdrawing the
spurs from the pole, he began the dash
across river and valley.
AS he released his hold on the tim
Der the steel loop slid smoothly down
the slanting wire, slowly at first and
then more rapidly, his body carried
forward by its own increasing momen,
tum. The bank seemed to glide away
from him. and almost in an instant he
was above the raging river. the tossing
waves sprln5led him with spray as he
crossed. Then below MIN was tho
brown sod Of the western bank, the
wire sagging under his weight until
his almost touched the earth.
Releasing his hold upon the belt he
fell headlong upon the watsrsoaked
ground, but quickly gained his foot
ing, scrambled up the embankment to
the track, and ran painting up the
gorge to meet the train. His frantic
gestures soon brought engine and cars
to stop.
"Wby not Hardrubble?' suggested
the superintendent two years later
when I notified him that it was my
intention to resign, and that conse

Southern Minnesota Railroad was ah-
sorbed by the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul system, another promotion
awaited the former lneman. To-day
he is superintendent OF telegraph on

TRANSMISSION OF YELLOW FEVER
Is Snid to he Due Exclusively to the
Mosquito.


Havana, February An interesting
paper was read before the Pan-American
medical congress by Or, Reed, on the
propagation of yellow fever by mosquI-
tees. The specific cause of yellow fever
is still unknown, ne said but the work
OF the yelof fever commission at Que
m dos had concMsiyely proved, in his
opinion, that the mosquito served as an
Intermediary in conveying the disease,
the spread of which was due to this
medium alone, The commission had
concluded, therefore, DR.. Reed added,
that the dis.ntection Of clothing was not
only unnecessary, but useless, owing 10
the impossi5ility OF contaglon from such
source.
rhe experiments OF the commission
showed said DR.. Reed, "that the m
quito is unable TO prep agate the disease

suit was found by injecting the blood Of

mosquito can retain the poisonous germs
has not yet been determin d, but an in

commission where mosquito after fifty
