Water Coffin Raised.
1t speaks volumes for the daring OF
southern naval men that any of them
could be found to venture upon the forlorn
hope after this Capt. j. F. Carlson and
Lieut. George E. Dixon persuaded the au-

The Adelaide Sewage Farm.
One Of the most interesting farms Of
this kind is operated by the city Of Ade-
lafde. 1t lies about four miles from the
town and contains altogether $40 acres. It
is SO situated that the Sewage of the city
can be conducted by gravitation on the
land, the farm lying below the city. All
the sewage Is strained before 1t Is dis
tributed over the land. The farm Is worked
on the irrigation principle and the strained
sewage Is carried over 1t by means Of ce-
ment concrete carriers and wooden troughs.
The fields vary in area from eight to twen-
ty-f1ve acres. Many Of them are used for
pasture, the rich fertilization producing
the finest Of grass. At present the cattle
raised on the farms are sold entirely for
their meat A dairy was established and
was doing very well, when the people OBJ

of Ill effects therefrom. I am told that
cattle double in value after being on the
farm six months.

steam railroads and no money Is spared
when improved machinery is needed
The Queenslanders are now improving
their stock. They have many short-horns

interior. The cattle are sometimes driven
hundreds and even thousands Of miles to
the markets. There are laws which keep
the cattle roads open and which provide
that they have the right to feed half a

the cattle move at least six miles day.
On the cattle ranches the stock are

The Housatonic reeled and in a few mo-

Most of the officers and crew saved them
selves by climbing into the rigging, from

After the war, when the wrecks off
Charleston were being removed the David
was discovered at the bottom, not one
hundred feet away from her victim. All
of her men were at their stations.
No other submarines were attempted by
the confederacy. The original David, just
destroyed, was therefore unique, the only
existing specimen of a type which has de-

the modern submarines. All the maritime

NEGRO COLLEGIANs.
What BECOMES of the COIOred Student
After Graduation.

What becomes of the CoIOred Student
After Graduation.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
The Atlanta University has lately issued
a pamphlet in which an attempt is made
to analyze the work of negro college grad
yates in this country. and to estimate the
value Of the southern colleges to the COL
ored people. 1t seems that there are in.
round numbers 1850 such graduates In.
this country. Harvard has eleven, Yale
and Michigan ten each, Cornell eight, CO.
llumbia four and Pennsylvania four. Or
the smaller colleges Oberlin has gradu-
ated 12S, Kansas sixteen apd Bates fif-
teen. The vast majority of these negroes
are OF southern birth, and 80 per cent of
them return to the south to labor among
their. people. OF the northern negroes
half go south after graduation. About 10
per cent Of the whole are women, and
nearly all the graduates marry between
the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five
The returns sent in by 80 per cent OF
these graduates must be cheering to those
who have faith in the future Of the race.
who have been graduated from college
have gone back to mental work of some
kind, and these cases are usually cited as
showing that there is no occupation In the
higher lines for the educated colored man.
But 1t may fairly be taken for granted
that in such cases the fault is with the
individual. OF the 1872 persons who made
reports half are teachers, one-sixth are
preachers and another sixth are students
and professional men. More than per
cent are farmers. artisans and merchants.
and 4 per cent are in the government
service Thirty per cent have been In the
present occupation for ten years or more.
and the total assessed value Of their real
estate holdings reported Is 81 81, 80. an
average per individual of $2,411. In the
college training proper the colored stu
dents contribute very nearly as much tow
ard their expenses as the whites. The con-
clusion OF the report Is that there Is need
Of several progressive colleges for negroes
in the south which can supply thoroughly
trained teachers. preachers, professional
men and artisans.
