total number easily is 1000, although
1 think 200 is small aggregate to al
low as having escaped the official eye.
Considering that the Country club Of
Brcokline, Mass, has $50 members and
that it is not at all extraordinary to
find golf clubs with over 300 members,
it is not unreasonable to ALLOW an
average membership of 100 to the 1920
clubs, or total listed membership of
100, 900. In New York city there are
1000 players who are not members Of
any club. Golfers Of this, class

Country Lite Promote. Civilization.


Among the latest to join the ranks
of those who think that bucolic ex-
istence is conducive to the best results
of civilization is Rider Haggard. He
is now busily employed, not in the Gre
alton of new novel, but in trying to
master agricultural problems. Mr..
Haggard is now living on his farm at
Buckingham, in Norfolk, and will
shortly start out to make tour of
ireland and Scotland for the purpose
of studying agricultural methods and
conditions in those two countries.
tall, handsome FELLOW is Rider Hag-
gard, in his forty-first year, bearded
and powerfully built, with the appear
ance of man capable of doing many
years of good work yet. Mr.. Haggard
may be considered as anything but a
lazy man. Besides looking after his
2OO-acre farm, he is chairman of the
local bench of magistrates. and at the
same time is probably doing more lit
erary work than at any previous part
of his career. His country house is
an ancient, red-brick uncovered
structure in the Queen Anne style, sit
uated in the center of large, we'll
kept lawn, close to the banks of the
river Waveney, which divides the
counties of Norfolk and Suffold.

Mud Is Forever
Boiling,

Among the wonders Of the Yellow
stone National Park none excites more
interest than what are known as the
paint potts." or boiling mud springs.
Into one of thes caldrons two women
tourists recently fell and were serl-
ously scalded. There are several
groups of these springs in the parks,
one of the largest of which occupies
a space 300 yards in length by 70 In
width, in what is known as the valley
of Alum creek, near the Crater hills.
A second group is near the wall OF the
grand canyon Of the Yellowstone, four
miles below Yellowstone lake and SIX
miles from the Crater hills. This
group occupies space three acres IN
extent and it is said the springs pre-
sent magnificent sight when in the
course of eruption.
The principal spring is called the
Blue Mud Pot and is >35 feet in diam
eter It is near the large sulphur
spring and when in tranquil state
looks like a lake of blue mud. The
contents of the spring are more like
muddy water than thick mud, although
at times the mud has consistency OF
mortar. In some portions OF the
spring various degrees of consistency
are found, ranging from the muddy
water state to thickness of common
mortar
There are no particular times of
eruption from these springs, and al
though they are in groups or are very
close together, not more than two feet
separating some of Them there seems
ITO be no connection between them, and
they are of different colors. Various
shades of brown, red, pink, blue, Law
ender and gray are to be found, and
when all of them are spouting together

How Horses

animals at War" Is the subject of
bright and very interesting paper in
Pearson's Magazine by an observant
naturalist, DR.. Louis Robinson who
gives many particulars about their
fighting and weapons. Horses, as a
rule, when fighting among themselves,
use their teeth more than their heels.
A gentleman who witnessed a furious
combat between two Arab stations
Informed. me that not once did they
attempt to kick one another with their
hind hoofs, but each made persistent
attempts to seize his opponent by the
neck with his powerful teeth. They
continually reared up, in order to pre-
vent this attack succeeding, and, when
in that position, struck out at one an
other with their front hoofs like a
couple of pugilists. Hence it would
appear as if a smashing blow with the
hind hoof, propelled by the enormous
ly powerful muscles Of the thigh, is
rather method of dealing with eX-
ternal enemies than of settling ques-
tions of equine precedence. Appar
emily one chief use of horses name
and the thick gristly crest which
gives the splendid arch to the nape
= of his neck, is to provide mechanical
protection when the males engage in
trial by battle and grip one another
with their powerful teeth. The fact
that the crest is much more promi-
nent in stations than in mares sup
ports this view. Among carnivorous
Quadrupeds mere mechanical protec-
tion against injury from rivals of their
own kind, although comparatively
rare is not unknown. Thus the splen-
did name of the lion appears to be
chiefly useful in partially shielding
his neck and shoulders from the teeth
and claws of rivals. The tiger, on the
contrary, although armed with weap-
ons every whit as formidable as those
of the lion appears to be able to set
tie all questions of precedence without
protective armour AS rule, the car
nivora, owing to the needs of their
daily life, are such adopts in the art
of killing that if they fought among
themselves in the incorporating
manner of. bulls or game cocks, they

beautiful picture. The streams thrown
from the craters Of the springs some
times mount as high as 40 feet, and
in falling form an edge around the tur-
bid lake that causes the resemblance
to paint pots, from which the springs
take their names. In the valley of
the Alum creek, where the Blue Mud
pot is found, tourists observe puffs of
mud rising from the surface for over
300 yards.
The second group of springs pre-
sents every possible variation of col
or. There are perhaps hundreds OF
the smaller springs, all of them hav-
ing the raised edges. which are COW
cred with the vari-colored mud. This
mud has temperature of over 1870 de-
grees and seems to be boiling at all
times. The springs at this point great
ly resemble caldrons of paint, and are
pink, blue lavender and pure white in
color.
In these smaller springs there is
generally circular pit about ten feet
deep, completely covered on the out
side with the colored mud. This mud
when dried and burned, whether with
fire or by the sun, makes the finest
quality of plaster. Biologists claim
that after being properly worked up it
would make better mortar or plaster
than anything now used for the pur-
pose. When the white mud is burned
it takes form very much like that
Of finished meerschaum, and is quite
as pliable and lasting. The mud con-
tains great deal of sulphur and
tastes strongly of alum. The springs
show no signs of diminishing in power
or size.

A Paying Crop.

Mr.. J, n. Roberts, a prominent
and progressive farmer residing in the
northeastern portion Of Grenada
county, was in town Saturday. He
had with him some samples of a fall
crop of Irish potatoes raised Oh his
place which were very fine and
weighed from one-half to two and a
half pounds each. On three acres
Mr.. Roberts dug 45O bushels of these
potatoes, thus proving beyond doubt
that fall Irish potatoes will pay in
this section. These potatoes were
grown on ordinary creek bottom land
without the use Of fertilizer. At the
prevailing price at which this article
of food is selling the earnings of those
three acres Of ground will be some
thing near $500. This is not a big
yield for potatoes, but it is far better
than raising cotton. On ten acres of
the same sort of land Mr.. Roberts
gathered four bales Of cotton. Esti-
mating the value Of this cotton as
much as $40 per bale the difference in
favor Of potatoes, which is a species
Of diversified farming crop, is too OBJ
vious to require further discussion.

Swiss Town to Abolish Fuel.

correspondent, is considering hold
scheme for the abolition OF all the or
dir Try forms OF fuel. 1t Is proposed to
erect an extensive electric plant at the
confluence of two large mountain tor
rents, whose united waters will supply
the necessary motive force. A large
firm of Swiss electricians has been
studying the problem for over a year
and has obtained the concession of the
forces of the torrents alluded to. The
same firm has bought out new electric
heating and cooking apparatus especial
ly designed for the scheme. The first
cost of the installation is estimated
TO be S,500,000 francs. Already cleo
tricity is not only used for lighting
and motive power, but is adopted in
many villas for cooking and heating
and in one of the largest bakeries. The
idea is to do away with all contamina-
tion of the air by the use of fuel.
