CONDITIONS REPORTED.
When the grand jury Of Kings County yesterday
brought in a presentment that numerous instances
had been found where the law was openly violated
at Coney Island, Judge Crane said that, while the
presentment important in creating public
opinion against certain conditions. ii did not have
the weight that an indictment would, and from
the fact that no indictment had been handed in he
took it that the grand jury did not warrant the
condition Of Coney Island TO make necessary such
action
The grand jury found the island considerably
improved. but sufficiently so TO warrant re-
Taxation of constant supervision. and continued
watchfulness by the authorities and all organlza-
tons interested in the enforcement Of law. They

The Deadly Cigarette.

The San Francisco Chronicle says that pr. H. F. Fisk the head of the Preparatory department of the North western University, has become so thoroughly convinced of the mental deterioration produced by the cigar cite habit that he has asked the boys in the school who cannot or will not give it up to leave. He furthermore offers to refund all that has been paid in fees and tuition by such students. This action is taken as the result of a careful study of the subject covering a term of several years. The statis- tics he has prepared show that of the boys who smoke cigarettes only two per cent are among the twenty-five per cent of students who stand high est in class scholarship; on the other hand, fifty-seven per cent of the smok- CTS are among the twenty-five per cent of the lowest in class scholarship. Dr. Fisk states that the boys who smoke are entirely incapable of pass ing examinations or keeping up in their studies, and he deems it waste of time and endeavor to continue their education.

Measurement of Water.

There are in common use two units of measurement of water when used in irrigation-that giving the rate of flow, as of a stream, and that stating the cubical quantity, as of water con tained in a reservoir
 The cubic foot per second (second- foot is the unit for the rate of flow. This is a quantity of water delivered by rectangular Hume one foot wide and one foot deep and flowing at the average rate of one foot a second. In round numbers this is equal to 79 gal Ions each second or 450 gallons per minute.
 The rate of flow is sometimes eX- pressed in miners inches, but this is an indefinite quantity. In Arizona 40 miners inches make a cubic foot per second, and in California 90 miners inches make cubic foot per second. In various localities there are inter mediate values,
 The unit of capacity used in irriga- tion is the acre-foot, or one acre GOV cred one foot in depth, equivalent to 4S.560 cubic feet One cubic foot per second flowing for twenty-four hours will cover an acre 1.9S feet in depth In round numbers a cubic foot per sec ond for a day is equivalent to two re-feet.-Forestry and Irrigation.

Taking Care of Lamps.

Buy the best oil.
 Fill the lamps by daylight.
 Lamps should be kept well filled.
 Never attempt to light lamp that is only partly filled.
 Keep the oil can closed and in a cool place.
 Lamps to be carried should be of metal and have handles.
 See that any hanging lamps you may have securedly hung.
 When buying lamps select those in which the end of the burner is con siderably elevated above the body of the lamp.
 Watch your wicks closely and change them before they become too short.
 If burning oil gets upon the floor, smother with woolen blankets or rugs.

Money in Hens.


 The Tulare Register tells an inter- esting story of how much money can be made from a few carefully selected hens. It says:
 Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Gist devote at tention to poultry raising as side issue to their general farming, and have given a copy of their egg ac- count for the year 1901.
 They aimed to keep about 175 white Leghorns and 25 barred Plymouth hooks, the former to do the laying and the latter to do the setting and furnish the fried chicken when the minister came. The combination works well.
 Following is the product in eggs of this band of hens during the year. The price received for eggs ranged from 10 cents to % cents per dozen, but some settings were sold at bet ter price. It will be seen that the average return for the year from these 200 hens was $20.S5 per month, very comfortable bit of spending money to come in as an aside general farming operations.
 One special experiment with AS white Leghorns in a yard by them selves averaged IF dozen eggs per week for 10 weeks, and 15 dozen per week for weeks.
 MT. and Mrs Gist take considerable pains to keep their stock graded up to top notch by bringing in new thoroughbred blood and they find that it pays them to do it.
 But here is the record for 1901 It will be found very full of encourage ment to people to make way with their common stock and have better poultry.
 January. gathered 100 dozen, sold for S19.64.
 February, gathered 172 dozen, sold for S2013.
 March, gathered 2O4 dozen, sold for $2155.
 April, gathered 252 dozen, sold for S2550.
