CIVHIZEDLAWS OF WAR.

The claws of War;" sub scribed to by civilized nations, forbid the use of weapons which infiict unnecessary pain, such as using brass bullets, etc; pro hibit the killing of the enemy by treachery or by poison; insist on the humane treatment of priS- oners and forbid the killing of those of the enemy who have surrendered. Before the bOm- bardment of a city notice of such bombardment must be given in order that women and children and other non-combatants may seek places of safety. No un- fortified place may be beseiged, and on invading a country there must be no wanton destruction of property, rc unnecessary pill Iage, the honor of the inhabi- tants must be respected, and so must their religion.

EARLY COMMERCE.

In early times, when the world was snarsely populated and the
 means of travel limited, it was found convenient to expose mer- chandise for sale at the largest gatherings of the people. These were early identified with reli- gious festivals and were often designated ty the name of the Saint in whose honor the festi- val was held. As the difficulties and dangers of int2rcOmmunlca- ton diminished and the number of cities and villages increased, the inhabitants found it more convenient as well as more pro- ftable to buy goods as they needed them instead of purchas- ing a years supply in advance. l These fairs have decreased in number until today not more than two or three of any note are held in all Europe. The most famous of these is held an nually at Niini-Novgovod ir Russia, 26G miles east of Moscow. where sales have reached the enormous sum of SIP. .OQQ,000 II a single year. In Arabia, Hin
 ldoostan and other eastern coun
 i tries, fairs will be held until the general introduction of railways and other modern improvements
 make them no longer necessity

According to the latest official reports the maximum iron ore production for the United States last year shows total of l9,- 433. 3.716 long tons, against 40, tons in 1796. This is a greater amount than has been mined by any country in one year, being over one and third million tons above that recorded for Great Britain. It should be borne lu mind also that the ores Of the British Isles average lower per centages of metal than those ex- plotted in the United States. and therefore represent a smaller pig-metal product. Of this out put in the United States, twenty four states and territories con trlbuted. The increased output, however, was principally from the state of Michigan, which, in round numbers, added two-thirds of the ore and three-quarterS Of a million excess credited. Mich igan was closely followed by Minnesota.

Fertility :n Colorado River.

The Pasadena News gives a very interesting account of a talk at recent banquet in Pasadena. It says:
 Between The Needles and Yuma, along the Colorado river, are perhaps 5O0,000 acres of fer tile, irrigable land, capable of sustaining tens of thousands of people when once that great Col orado river is diverted to it's greatest use, "said Civil Engineer ". B. Clapp to the company at the Masonic banqueting board last night, as he told of a recent trip he, J. B. Lippincott and j. A. Ahrens, all of the U. $. Geo. logical Survey, made by going down that Colorado river.
 Mir. Clapp also said that the Colorado river has a watershed of 225,C00 square miles. In their own boat, 9 feet long, they spent eleven days going down the 2J3 miles from The Needles to Yuma. At The Needles the river IS 4O0 feet above sea level, while at Yuma it is 107 feet, or a drop of about II feet to the mile. The surprising estimate was given that the Colorado river carries more silt or fertility in solution than the Nile and the Mississippi both together, or enough to make a deposit of six feet deep over 100 square miles each year. Thus rapidly is the mountain regions being brought towards the sea. This silt makes the Colorado river the best water Tn the world with which to irrigate. provided it can be handled so that the ditches will not clog. MT. ClapT is confident that under a wise policy of national irrigation, the Colorado river alone could be made to provide homes for mil lions of people, and that many other arid places could be made fruitful. Mr. Clapp gave also some pleasant personal incidents of the trip, but from the few figures and short glimpses giver by these competent authorities it is evident that that section ha: 8 great future.

Roosted Under the Car.

Perched comfol tably under a Pullman car that was running at the rate of sixty miles an hour six North Carolina chickens rode more than 300 miles last week, sleeping as peacefully as any bird ever slept, but at last the awakening came.
 When the excursion given by the Masons and the Retail Gro cers' Association left Wrights- vile, N. O., a few days ago in a special train, it was found ne- cessary to make fast time, and in consequence everything was prepared for the run that was to bring the party back to Atlanta. The train left the beach just about the time that all chickens not given to dissipation so to roost. The cars that were used on the trip went from Atlanta, and while the excursionists were enjoying themselves during the time that they were on the out ing, stood on d side track undis- turbed.
 Evidently while the cars were idle, these friendly chickens of the Tar Heel state took up their residences on the trucks. Whether they found themselves moving before their chicken brains had time to realize the situation and were afterward lulled to sleep, or whether they liked the SenSasiOn and made the trip voluntarily will never be known, but that they made it is matter of record, The train stopped at an Interesting point more than 300 miles from where it started, and it was then that the fowls were found.
